I, Kevin, joined the chat group

"Look, Dad, what is this!"

Thatch looked at his father mysteriously, and then took out a black and purple devil fruit from behind him.

"Is this a devil fruit?"

Seeing Thatch suddenly take out a devil fruit caught Whitebeard Edward off guard.

But then he smiled and said, "Sachi, why don't you just try it? I'll never forget the taste of that!"

Whitebeard's words immediately made the captains and members of the Moby Dick who had eaten devil fruits smile knowingly.

It is a well-known fact that devil fruits are a hundred times more disgusting than feces.

That taste will stay with you for the rest of your life, and you can never forget it even if you want to!

"Well...I want to wait and see."

Seeing the looks from his father and his companions, Sachi hesitated in his original intention of swallowing the fruit directly.

"Hahahahaha!"

Everyone on Moby Dick's ship burst into laughter.

The performance of Sachi, the captain of the Fourth Division, really tickled their funny bone.

Especially Ace, he laughed the loudest and rolled on the deck, holding his stomach.

"Then take your time to think about it, there's no rush!"

Whitebeard Edward also laughed, which relieved a lot of the gloom in his heart.

In a dark corner of Moby Dick, Blackbeard Teach had an extremely ferocious look on his face.

Seeing that Thatch didn't eat the devil fruit immediately, he couldn't help but wipe the sweat from his forehead caused by fear.

He almost couldn't help but run out to grab it.

The devil fruit he had been thinking about day and night, the devil fruit he had seen in the devil fruit encyclopedia.

The Dark-Dark Fruit finally appeared!!

Blackbeard Teach's eyes showed a strong desire.

Looking at the devil fruit he had been longing for in the hand of his own squad captain, Thatch, he already had murderous intentions in his heart.

"No one can stop me. The Dark-Dark Fruit must be mine, it must be mine!"

"I will kill anyone who stops me!"

Like the whisper of a devil, only the Dark Devil Fruit remained in Blackbeard Teach's eyes.

……

On a new uninhabited island, the Red Hair Pirates also received this report from the navy.

This time, the Red Hair Pirates did not hold any banquet.

Because their captain, Red-Haired Shanks, has not been in the mood to hold a party since that day.

0 .... ...

"Captain, there is another important news from the navy this time."

Beckman, holding a toothpick in his mouth, walked up and shouted at Shanks.

"Hmm? What's the news?"

Shanks opened his eyes after hearing Beckman's words.

As soon as Shanks heard the word navy, he felt that nothing good was going to happen.

The failure of Kaido and Big Mom completely changed the entire Age of Discovery.

This is equivalent to completely destroying Captain Roger's purpose back then.

Now Red-Haired Shanks has no good feelings towards the navy.

"Zhan Guo has retired!"

"what?"

Hearing Beckman's words,

571 Shoulders

The red-haired man's eyes revealed a look of surprise.

He is also waiting for the Navy's next move.

But I didn't expect that what I got was the news that this guy Fo Zhi Zhan Guo had retired!

"Is there any information on what caused his retirement? Is there any other information?"

Red-haired Shanks hurriedly asked Beckman.

"I heard that he retired from the position of Admiral of the Navy due to his age and poor health."

Beckman shook his head and said to his captain.

"Haha, you're old and in poor health?"

Hearing Beckman's news, Red-Haired Shanks shook his head, a look of sarcasm on his face.

He didn't quite believe that the other party would retire for this reason.

"Could it be!"

An idea suddenly flashed through the red-haired man's mind, and his eyes flashed with a gleam of light.

He recalled the news about the famous naval admiral named Ling Xuan.

Putting these two together, Red-Haired Shanks already had some guesses in his mind.

"Zhan Guo, this old fox, is really amazing. He is willing to give it up!"

"It's really terrifying. You actually want to catch this momentum so quickly and push him up directly?"

The more Red-Haired Shanks thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was correct.

Zhan Guo's action clearly showed that he wanted to push the guy named Ling Xuan to the position of marshal.

"Captain Roger, I'm afraid this era won't be as you wish!"

The redhead looked at the sky and muttered to himself.

Navy Headquarters.

A major emergency meeting is being held at this moment.

Buddha's Warring States, wearing the coat of a naval marshal, sat in the center of the hall.

On the left and right sides were Ling Xuan and his four other generals.

The rest are Garp, Zephyr, Tsuru and others.

As for those sitting at the back, they were high-ranking generals with the rank of lieutenant general.

"Haha, today is my last meeting after retirement."

Seeing that everyone was present, Zhan Guo stopped talking nonsense and stood up and said with a smile.

There seems to be no sense of disappointment at all after retiring soon.

This made the expressions of Garp, Zephyr and others a little subtle.

It also made the expressions of the major generals and lieutenant generals present slightly stiffen.

"I won't waste any time. After I retire, the new Admiral will be chosen from among the four of you!"

Zhan Guo suddenly looked at Ling Xuan and the other four generals with a serious expression...

This made Ling Xuan and the other three look serious.

"I won't say much else. As for who among you will take this position, no one can say for sure."

"So I've set up three tests for you. As for what the tests are, you'll know when the time comes!"

Zhan Guo suddenly smiled and said to Ling Xuan and the others.

Then, he seemed to want to say something else, but he opened his mouth and closed it again.

"Alright, dismiss. The four of you can leave now. Someone will let you know where the test will be in a few days!"

Zhan Guo's voice sounded a little tired at this moment.

Following Zhan Guo's words, the people in the entire venue left very quickly, leaving only him, Garp and others.

As for those lieutenant generals and Ling Xuan's four naval admirals, they had all left.

After Kapuzefa and the others looked at each other.

In the end, it was Garp who stood up and walked towards Sengoku's position.

"Zhan Guo, it's really not fair for you to retire without telling me. I want to retire too!"

Garp patted Zhan Guo's shoulder.

572 emerge

Then he pulled up a stool and spoke to Zhan Guo in a helpless tone.

"I knew you wanted to retire a long time ago, but is this really a good time?"

As soon as Garp finished speaking, Zephyr also came over, picked up the stool on the other side, sat on the other side and spoke.

He is not as naive as Garp. In fact, he has noticed that something is wrong with Zhan Guo during this period of time.

At that time, I thought the other party was just tired, but I didn't expect that he would come up with a retirement plan in the end.

This caught Zefa off guard.

"You two, please don't bother Zhan Guo. I know he wants to retire, and I support him."

Vice Admiral Tsuru then came up to the three of them and explained on behalf of Zhan Guo.

"Ah, Xiaohe, you two actually plotted this and didn't tell us?"

The look on Garp's face was one of surprise.

"You two, are you?"

Zefa also had a look of surprise on his face, and looked at Zhan Guo and Xiao He suspiciously.

"Go away, Zefa, why are your thoughts so dirty? And what's with that look in your eyes!"

Zhan Guo was unhappy when he saw the look in Zefa's eyes.

I am an upright person, what is there to be ashamed of?

Besides, I am an unmarried old man, and I have some good things with Xiao He. Isn’t that a very good thing?

"Haha, Zefa is that kind of person, don't take it to heart, Zhan Guo."

"But I do want to ask, who is the marshal in your heart? You can't really want Akainu and the other three to become marshals, right?"

Garp laughed and signaled Zhan Guo not to pay attention to such trivial matters and to talk about the candidate in his mind.

"Tsk, you're the only one who can talk, please say more."

After hearing what Garp said, Zefa was speechless.

"But Garp is right about one thing. Who is your chosen candidate?"

Zefa looked at Zhan Guo with some nervousness.

Ling Xuan is his student, and Kizaru and the others are also his students.

However, compared to the other three, he wanted Ling Xuan to become the Navy Marshal.

It's not just a matter of strength. From the previous speech at the dock, Zefa knew that his student was a natural talent.

Only this kind of person can lead the current Navy Headquarters to a more glorious position.
