Chapter 10 White Tiger Fruit
Chapter 10 White Tiger Fruit
Two hours later, Aini looked completely refreshed.
You know what, Lina may be a bit inexperienced, but she's incredibly talented. In battle, she quickly masters the moves and even develops new ones.
He's simply a genius.
Aini was quite fond of it.
Lina traced circles on Aini's chest with her finger, and said seductively, "Am I worth a Devil Fruit?"
Aini's lips curled into a slight smile: "Then I'll have to try again..."
Two hours later, Lina's face turned pale, and she fell into a deep sleep. Only then did Aini finally drift off to sleep, satisfied.
Lina was still asleep when it was dawn.
Aini pinched her cheek, then got up and walked out.
When I got back to my place, I could hear the Den Den Mushi (snail phone) ringing incessantly.
Aini was slightly taken aback.
This Den Den Mushi was given to him by his father, its sole purpose being to facilitate communication between the two. He was immediately overjoyed, after all, he was still counting on him to acquire a Devil Fruit!
So he immediately pushed open the door and went inside, quickly answering the call.
As soon as the call connected, before Aini could even speak, a hearty laugh came from the other end: "Good, good...you've really made me proud."
However, he immediately added with some doubt: "But kid, when did you get this kind of strength? Could it be that the pirates in the East Blue with tens of millions of members have become this weak?"
Upon hearing this, Aini's pupils constricted slightly, thinking to himself, "No wonder he can survive in the Holy Land; his mind works fast. He grasped the key point immediately..."
So he made up an excuse: "I was just pretending before, I didn't want to stay in the Holy Land, nor did I want to go to the Marine Headquarters."
"???"
The other person looked puzzled.
In the eyes of normal people, the Holy Land and the Navy Headquarters are both desirable places that everyone would want to go to.
Eni: "Smoker will leave sooner or later. When that happens, the entire East China Sea will fall into my hands, right? I can easily make tens or hundreds of billions of Pelés a year. With these Pelés as a foundation, major generals, lieutenant generals... won't that be a piece of cake?"
If you try to climb the ranks at headquarters, how long would it take? And even if you did manage to, how many dangers would you face?
So, is there a better place than the East Blue? If I could sit in Smoker's position, I'd have supreme status and power in the East Blue, and it would be safe, I'd earn Berries, and it wouldn't hinder my promotion. How wonderful!
At that moment, Burns, in the Holy Land, was stunned upon hearing Aini's words.
He had to admit that what his son said made a lot of sense!
But why keep it from him?
He still had a slight doubt in his mind, but he quickly put it aside. After hearing the news, he had confirmed it several times.
This is his son, Aini, not someone else impersonating him.
Now that the power is on and I can hear the sound, I'm even more certain. Since that's the case, why bother arguing so much?
As children grow up, they all develop their own ideas.
As a father, I will support him to the best of my ability.
Thinking of this, Burns couldn't help but smile: "Kid, you've got double the good news. I pulled some strings for you, and not only did you get promoted two ranks to lieutenant, but I also got you a job in the Naval Inspectorate. Now you're one of the ten inspectors in the East China Sea, with your own warship, your own team, and the power to oversee all the naval forces in the East China Sea."
"Perform well; the East Blue doesn't have a Chief Inspector yet. Once you're in that position, you'll only be half a rank below Smoker."
"What a double blessing!" Aini exclaimed with delight.
"Hahaha..."
Burns couldn't help but laugh a few times: "You underestimate your old man. He's someone who works in the Holy Land. This little thing is nothing. It's just standard procedure. It's only one piece of good news."
Aini looked surprised: "So, there's another surprise?"
Burns: "I've been in the Holy Land for so long, and I haven't been doing it for nothing. I just delivered a huge gift that will make the Celestial Dragons happy for a long time! Because they were happy, they granted my long-held wish. They got you a Zoan-type Devil Fruit..."
"Holy crap...it's exactly what I wanted!" Aini exclaimed with delight.
Then, some people asked with curiosity, "What great gift did you give that made the Celestial Dragons willing to give up a Devil Fruit?"
Burns: "Don't worry about that. Just know that I prepared this gift for a long time and spent a lot of effort and money to get it. So, after eating this Devil Fruit, try to develop it to awaken it. That way, our family can also produce a genuine Vice Admiral."
Although he has been promoted to lieutenant general, his abilities have always been criticized. Therefore, this is also a source of frustration for him.
Therefore, he hoped that Aini would not be like him, but would become a true lieutenant general.
Enni: "By the way, what kind of Zoan-type Devil Fruit is it?"
Burns: "Zoan-type - White Tiger Fruit!"
Aini's eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed, "A Mythical Beast!!!"
Burns rolled his eyes. "What are you thinking? It's just a regular Zoan-type... Mythical Zoan! You really dare to dream..."
"Ugh..."
Burns then sighed, "Do you think that a regular Zoan-type Pokémon only costs a hundred or two hundred million, and that with my abilities, I could buy a few if I had the chance?"
"Uh...."
Aini really thought so.
Burns: "Those are all Devil Fruits whose specific type can't be determined, only their category... In other words, you spend one or two hundred million to buy a Devil Fruit. After eating it, it's all up to luck... If you're unlucky, it might be a rabbit, or a mouse... If you're lucky, it might be a wolf, a leopard, or something like that."
"But do you want to gamble?"
Enni understood. The reason this ordinary White Tiger Fruit was so valuable was that it was clearly identifiable.
Moreover, he is among the top-tier beings in the ordinary Zoan type.
Then Annie tentatively asked, "Could you help me get a few of those Devil Fruits that rely entirely on luck?"
Burns' eyes flickered: "You want to cultivate your own power?"
"Okay, okay..."
Before Enni could answer, Burns exclaimed "Good!" three times: "More ambitious than me... There will be an auction for Devil Fruits on Sabaody Archipelago in a while. I will send people to keep an eye on it, and as long as the Celestial Dragons aren't present, I will try my best to bid for them all."
The greater a person's ambition, the greater their motivation.
Therefore, he wholeheartedly supported Aini's plan to cultivate his own power.
He then added, "As for the White Tiger Fruit... I'll find a way to have it delivered."
"Aini, are you there?"
Just then, Tashigi's voice rang out.
Burns laughed across from him: "A woman looking for you? You're something else! Keep it up... try to get me a grandson or granddaughter next year. Hahaha..."
