Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 20: Probation and Naval Secrets
The next morning, Ron felt something was wrong with his body, so he turned over with his eyes closed. Then he fell on the stone slab with a "bang".

This woke him up immediately. He opened his eyes and looked at the cold ground. He recalled what happened last night and suddenly muttered, "That old bastard Karp... he's not going to just throw me on the ground and leave me alone, is he?"

Two overloaded lightning fists in one day, plus the exhausting battle with Shuzo, was a huge challenge for Ron. At the end of the fight, he was exhausted and passed out.

So...I just slept on the floor all night?

you are vicious!
Thinking viciously, Ron turned over and got up, but when he looked around clearly, he was confused.

"Oh my god...what's going on?! Where is this?"

He was in a narrow cell less than ten square meters. The only light came from the torches on the wall. There were dense steel cables all around, with gray stone strips in between... Not surprisingly, that thing was called seastone.

And Ron found that he was not outside the cell, but inside the cell.

I should be there, not here...

"This is the Navy Headquarters Prison, which is used to detain common criminals and pirates who were not sent to Impel Down..."

An old voice came from outside. Ron turned around and saw a purple-haired old man with a strong body and muscular body, as strong as Garp. He had the banner of justice on his shoulders and his hands on his chest... It is worth noting that his right hand was cut off at the shoulder, and now it was a wooden prosthesis.

This person is the former admiral of the navy, current chief instructor of the new recruits camp, "Black Arm" Zephyr!
Ron was only puzzled for a second at his appearance, and then his attention was drawn to another person... In another cell behind Zephyr, Cap was looking at him as if he were a mortal enemy, biting a donut as if to vent his anger.

Ron was delighted at that time!
"Hey, isn't this Vice Admiral Garp? You always come in to experience life?!"

"hiss……"

Suddenly, Garp gasped in shock at the pain in his tooth, but did not reply. Instead, he sneered and cracked his knuckles.

Gordon's heart skipped a beat...

Ron swallowed his saliva and gave up the idea of ​​teasing Garp. Then he saluted and greeted Zefa: "Chief Instructor Zefa!"

"Well, don't be nervous, just be casual."

After moving a stool to sit on, Zefa lit a cigar, took a puff, and said to Ron across the cell: "Do you know why you were locked up?"

"Uh……"

Recalling what happened last night, Ron pinched his face and grinned foolishly: "Ha, ha, ha, I don't know what happened!"

"Stop playing dumb!"

Zefa's face suddenly darkened, and he roared: "It is the department's rule that unless it is an emergency, no one is allowed to take action in any unauthorized place! Anyone who violates this rule will be severely punished!"

There is such a rule?!

Ron looked at Zephyr in shock, and the expression on his face did not seem fake. Then, he widened his eyes and said to Garp in disbelief: "Vice Admiral Garp, you are plotting against me?!"

"He's lost his salary for this year!"

Zefa waved his hand to stop the quarrel that was about to break out between the two men, and then said, "Do you know what will happen to you?"

What will happen?

Garp was a vice admiral of the headquarters, a naval hero, and had a high status, but even he had his salary deducted for a year. As a newcomer, I was afraid that I would have to...

"Kick me out of the Navy?"

Ron stared at Zephyr in horror and pointed at his nose.

No way?
I just joined for one day?!
Seeing that Ron really knew the seriousness of the problem, Zefa's anger eased a little, and he snorted coldly and said, "That's right according to the rules! But you haven't been registered in our recruit list, so you're an outsider, and the Navy is not qualified to fire you..."

If you have never joined, there is naturally no such thing as expulsion.

Ron breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He never expected that the registration chores that he had always ignored would become the most important life-saving straw at this moment.

"but……"

Zefa changed the subject, causing Ron to stand up straight immediately: "Yes, I promise to complete the task!"

Zefa: “…”

I haven't said anything yet?
You promise nothing!
and many more……

What did I just want to say?

The corners of his mouth twitched twice, and Zefa continued his interrupted thoughts: "Considering that you are not aware of this, the Marshal has shown mercy and decided to keep you in the headquarters for observation... If you stop causing trouble and make amends, then the door of the navy will still be open to you!"

"Understand?!"

After hearing this, Ron's eyes flashed and he began to think quickly.

Yes, this is in line with reality... The navy believes in the theory of "nipping the danger in the bud". The reason why most of the pirates imprisoned in the Impel Down Forbidden Land LV.6 are not executed is not only to demonstrate their strength and deter pirates, but also because once their fruit abilities are spread and obtained by other pirates, the sea will be even more turbulent.

If we expel a user of the Thunder Fruit from the navy and release him back to the sea, if one day he decides not to become a pirate, the navy will regret it deeply.

Moreover, the Thunder Fruit is extremely powerful and is known as the "strongest natural type"... The problem this time is indeed very serious, but compared with the future of a user of the Thunder Fruit, the Navy can make concessions.

As the saying goes, give and take, and each party gets what it needs. Grasping the key point, Ron put aside his anxiety and replied with a smile: "Understood!"

……

Ron left soon. Since the decision had been made to put him on "probation", there was no point in detaining a "civilian".

After Ron was sent away, Garp sat in the cell and looked at Zephyr.

"That boy's body... you also discovered it, right?"

"Yeah, that kind of self-healing ability is simply not like that of a human..."

Zefa took a puff of his cigar and recalled what he had witnessed last night...

Upon hearing that Ron's arm had been burned while developing a new move, Zefa rushed over with a medical team of dozens of people, fearing that Ron's arm would be disabled like himself.

But before the doctor could confirm the diagnosis, under the stunned gaze of the crowd, the charred blood shells fell off in an instant, revealing the new pink muscles and skin underneath.

Afterwards, the colonel who was in charge of the test in the afternoon was quickly summoned for questioning. After confirming that Ron had used the same move in the afternoon, although the power was not as strong as at night, it also caused serious damage to the body, Cap and others believed the fact.

Ron was born with amazing healing abilities...it has nothing to do with his Thunder Fruit!

In the afternoon, the colonel instructor in charge of the test thought that Ron's injuries were not serious, and that he had indeed recovered after a short while, so he thought that there was nothing serious, and therefore did not report it separately.

But they are different from others, they stand higher and see more clearly!

Therefore, it can be directly concluded that Ron's body is different from that of ordinary people!

and……

"His body... is a black hole! Why is that?!"

Zefa smoked more frequently, and the air was filled with smoke.

Last night, after confirming that Ron was fine, the doctor prepared some nutrient solution and transfused it into Ron to supplement his missing nutrients. But as soon as those things entered his blood vessels, Ron's muscles all over his body spasmed, and he digested and absorbed them in the blink of an eye.

After trying several times, Ron's aura recovered and strengthened at a speed visible to the naked eye. If his aura strength was 10 after the injury, then it became 11 at that time, in... just half an hour!
It was not until he burped unconsciously that his body stopped absorbing like a black hole and returned to normal.

...This can no longer be explained by excellence and genius, he is a monster!

What Ron didn't know was that even though the nutrients in the food in the One Piece world were extremely easy to absorb, they were still restricted by the body.

His unreasonable and unlimited absorption and devouring caused him to grow at an astonishing speed. He is simply an outlier!
To make an analogy...

Others' bodies were unable to hold more energy and were then blown up, broken and then rebuilt, thus breaking through the original upper limit. But he seemed to be born with no upper limit and could always turn nutrition into nutrients.

This ability reminded Garp of something that happened decades ago...

"He fell from the sky. The Thunder Fruit came from a sky island kingdom called Bika..."

On the ship, Garp asked about Ron's past... A traveling adventurer, this was the identity Ron arranged for himself. Later, a backwash occurred, and he and his ship were washed ashore on the sky island. After several years of wandering, he finally got the Thunder Fruit, but when testing his ability, he accidentally fell into Qinghai.

There are very few cases of backwash currents in this book, but they do exist. Most of the time, they are not recorded and are spread among the people, so there is no way to verify when Ron was washed ashore on the sky island.

"Is it that kingdom called Bica again?"

Zefa frowned silently, apparently remembering something as well.

"But even if it's that thing, the effect is a bit too exaggerated, isn't it?"

As one of the insiders, Zefa has a close relationship with Garp. He has regretted more than once why it was Garp who ate the fruit without fear of death instead of himself. But even if it was that kind of fruit, Garp was not so perverted back then.

"I don't know about that..."

Cap bit into his donut and shrugged.

"Didn't that birdman say that the effects of the drugs can be added together? He also wanted to use this to trick us into going to Sky Island to avenge him... So maybe Ron foolishly ate a lot of it... But at the moment, the kid hasn't discovered his own specialness. I guess he doesn't even know what he ate..."

At this point, Karp was trying not to laugh.

"After all, his body is different from that of an ordinary person. Maybe he feels good about himself and thinks everything is normal..."

“Hahaha, so that’s it…”

Zefa raised his lip when he heard that. He flicked his cigar, watched the sparks and ashes drifting in the air, and smiled slowly: "If the effects of the drugs can really be superimposed, then Ron's training needs to be adjusted specifically... A year's worth of effective drug power cannot be wasted."

In response to this, Garp rarely took a serious look and looked at Zephyr seriously.

"Then, I'll leave everything up to you, Zephyr..."

"Nonsense! Stop worrying about other people's business and go to jail!"

Zefa sneered, swung his big flag, and strode out.
