Pirates of the Navy Thunder God

Chapter 496 There is someone above you! (13)

Navy headquarters, generals' villa area.

"It can reproduce on its own in water without adding any additional nutrients. This... is really a magical thing!"

The generals' villa area covers a large area, and Ron, as a lieutenant general, has a huge courtyard. At this moment, in a converted warehouse under the courtyard, Ron looked at the liquid slowly flowing in the transparent water tank with a surprised expression.

Ron was sure that a few days ago what was inside was only half a box of sea water, which he had filled by himself at the shore.

But at this moment, in the water tank that is sealed on all sides and airtight, the sea water is flowing on its own, dividing into two layers, upper and lower, and rising and falling.

Just like the "Water of the River Styx" discovered in Alabasta!
The underground River Styx had been destroyed by him, but before the destruction, Ron used gold to build a small bottle and filled it with a thumb-long bottle of River Styx water.

Originally, I wanted to give it to Caesar or Vegapunk to study and see if they could find anything useful. There are countless strange things in the world of One Piece, and I believe the two of them must be very interested.

As a result, Moria's sudden fall triggered a series of turmoil, leaving Ron no time to make this trip.

Because the trip to Baldigo was long, he was worried about the parasites inside, so he found a glass water tank and gave them a new home, just like changing a fish pond.

After returning from Baldigo, the stagnant water came back to life!

Ron was stunned by this self-reproduction ability that ignored the law of conservation of energy. In the eyes of outsiders, his self-healing ability was almost "creating something out of nothing", but his family knew their own business and also obeyed the law of conservation of energy.

Healing injuries not only consumes energy, but also consumes a huge amount of energy!
Based on this point alone, Ron decided not to let anyone know of their existence!
"This is much simpler than the man-made disaster I originally planned!"

In the underground warehouse, Ron's mouth curled up: "Maybe it's God's will? If you hadn't left, how could I have gotten this thing so easily."

Bang bang tie!
At this moment, there was a knock on the courtyard gate. Ron's ears moved and he frowned silently.

zizi...

The electric current exploded on the spot, and a faint blue light illuminated the space. When I looked back, I had lost any trace of Ron.

"Long time no see, Master Zero!"

In a flash, they arrived at the door and Ron opened it with a faint smile on his face.

Masked Zero looked at him seriously, and after a long while he said, "No wonder you were able to arrest Drago, you really have become much stronger!"

Ron's attitude towards him was as calm as ever, but don't forget that he and Li Riske had already drawn a clear line.

In the past, it was because Li Risk was on good terms with him, and Zero definitely didn't want to cause trouble, so Ron had the confidence to face him.

But now, Ron relies on himself and has the confidence to face everything calmly.

This is a change that occurs from the inside out as self-awareness gradually strengthens. In layman's terms, it is the "confidence of the strong", which is fundamentally different from the previous "immortal madness".

No wonder Akainu was surprised, he felt like Ron had become a different person.

"Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"

Ron turned sideways and gestured invitationally.

"No need, I'm just here to pass on a message."

Zero shook his head, his mask covering his face so that no one could see his expression clearly. "The Five Elders asked me to tell you that they are very satisfied with the Navy's actions this time. You played an indispensable role in capturing Drago alive, and they owe you a favor."

As a mere lieutenant general, Ron was not qualified to gain the Five Elders' concern. In their eyes, Marshal Zhan Guo was nothing more than the leader of their watchdogs, who could take whatever they wanted.

So this favor is not directed at "Lieutenant General Canglong" Ron, but Ron personally.

The unprecedented achievement of arresting Dorag would have been enough to earn him a seat in the highest government seat, just below theirs, but Ron didn't say anything. After returning, he even stayed at home for a few days to avoid the limelight, giving them time to deal with the follow-up and saving them a lot of trouble.

The Five Elders sent Zero here to best express their attitude.

It can probably be understood as.

"Don't worry, young man. You have someone above you!"

Zero knew clearly that recently rumors of severe punishment for Ron had begun to circulate in the Celestial Dragon family, saying that he had beaten the Celestial Dragons and disregarded the authority of the world's nobles.

Even the impoliteness towards Saint Donquixote Muscarud in the Sabaody Archipelago was brought up for discussion. Calculating the time, it happened after Saint Lirisk returned to the Holy Land.

Now that the Five Elders' attitudes have emerged, these rumors have melted away like snow in the scorching sun. Before Zero leaves the holy land, everything is calm and peaceful, without any disturbances.

"Thank you Five Elders for your kindness! It is my duty, and I am truly unworthy of it!"

Ron raised the corner of his mouth and declined modestly.

Although he is not familiar with the political circle and has no interest in playing political games, it does not mean that he is a fool.

If we were to quantify the credit for this operation, he alone would deserve 70% of the credit for the final move that trapped the enemy!
How should such a great contribution be rewarded?

It is not an exaggeration to say that his achievements are so great that they frighten his master.

To quit at the height of one's career is not only a political awareness, but also a philosophy of life.

If you don't have the ability to overturn the existing order, it's always right to do things in a high-profile manner and be low-key in life.

Ron has everything: talent, scheming, means, strength, connections, money, fame. His only weakness lies in his accumulated military merits and the embodiment of his own value.

It has nothing to do with how high a status one needs, but rather a reflection of one’s cognition.

For example, when talking about the current navy, no one can avoid the old bastard Garp.

This widespread recognition is a privilege, an attitude tacitly approved by the Five Elders.

So the old bastard cursed the Celestial Dragons in front of the Five Elders and said that it was nothing, but even the Celestial Dragons themselves were too lazy and dared not to care.

Now he can be added to this list of privileged people... As long as the government exists and as long as Ron is under the jurisdiction of the government, he is a "world aristocrat" without a title!
Ling didn't believe such obvious perfunctory words. If he said no, then no. Where would the face of the Five Elders be?

This matter was a unilateral notification from the Five Elders, not an inquiry into Ron's attitude.

Shaking his head, Zero turned around and prepared to leave.

"By the way, Master Ling, what is the current situation in the Holy Land?"

"Ok?"

Ling stopped, turned around and looked at him seriously, and said, "It's much better than you think."

Having said that, Zero tore open the space and disappeared in the next second.

Ron could feel a powerful aura flashing away from this place at a rapid speed, and finally stopped on a warship on the sea.

“Better than I thought…?”

"I see!"

Ron silently raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a cold smile.

Orrick's first attempt seemed to have ended miserably!
However, Ron believed that this would not be the end. Although Orrick failed, he also forced the Five Elders to reveal a lot of things.

For example, they were unable to suppress it with a flip of their hand and could only release it through their own guidance, which led to an all-out war with BIG MOM.

Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. Before the final result comes out, both sides can afford to lose.

"Lieutenant General Canglong, the Marshal wants you to go to the office for a meeting immediately!"

In the distance, a navy soldier ran over breathlessly, looked at Ron standing at the door, and looked around curiously.

There's no one here?

Why is Lieutenant General Canglong at the door?

Two updates in a row, the third update will still be after midnight. I sorted out my work today and found that I was finally done, with only some finishing touches. In an instant, Dashu came back and immediately collapsed on the bed until the takeaway was delivered.
