Chapter 440 Porusalino: The Doomsday Ship - the Boreas! Ace's Ship Elf!
The naval headquarters, Marineland, the town where the family quarters are located, Porosalino was strolling on this wide and neat street.
To be fair, compared to Sakaski, who exudes an iron-blooded aura every time he returns from the new world, and Kuzan, who is stationed on the Fishman Island 10,000 meters deep in the sea, and looks like a mystic, It hasn't even been too long since he joined the navy. Porusalino, who is also an admiral of the navy and has been absent from Marinefando for a long time, is the least noticeable when he walks on the road.
A person with high emotional intelligence is said to be "able to get along with ordinary sailors", while a person with low emotional intelligence is said to be "lazy and careless, with no awareness of the importance of paying attention to image as a naval admiral".
However, at this moment, next to Porusalino, a beautiful officer who exuded a sharp aura like a blade, who was half a body behind, made Porusalino take advantage of him and became a An eye-catching presence.
——Rear Admiral Gion, codenamed "Momo Usagi", has just returned from the South China Sea, the Queen of Souls of the Navy, a candidate for future generals, a great swordsman and a powerful soul fruit user.
Theoretically speaking, Gion, who was already very familiar with Porusalino, should feel extremely comfortable and relaxed when around him. After all, when Gion was a little girl, he had always been "Colonel" and "Colonel" around Porusalino, and even now, after so many years, it's still the same.
But this time, after returning to Marineland and meeting Porusalino, whom he hadn't seen for almost half a year, Gion felt nervous and restrained like never before. Even now, when Porusalino proposed to take her shopping for drinks and food, her body and mind were still in a tense state, and her walking posture was quite stiff.
The reason is actually very simple - just like Fujitora is blind, but he can use his extremely keen knowledge and color haki to perceive Porusalino's "inner" that is more dazzling than the sun. During the six months that Gion was in Nankai, the development level of Soul Soul Fruit has also been greatly improved. Therefore, the power of the soul fruit that has reached a new stage allows Gion to gain insight into part of people's soul nature to a certain extent.
And the essence of Porusalino's soul...
That is to say, thanks to Porusalino not deliberately targeting Gion, and the two of them are indeed very familiar with each other, otherwise Gion would most likely be oppressed by the high-dimensional creatures passively emitted by the "Giant of Light" Passed out directly from the feeling.
"You still need to practice more, Gion..."
Of course Porusalino knew about Gion's abnormal state at this time, but there was nothing he could do about it. To put it bluntly, just like Superman who awakened super hearing for the first time, after Gion developed the Soul Soul Fruit to the current stage, she must rely on her own strength to actively adapt - after all, she is not like a soul mixed with Carmelite. The nun's BIGMOM, because she is mentally confused and lacks rationality, can just offset the "debuff" of the soul fruit, making a negative a positive.
"I know."
Gion smiled bitterly and nodded, and then took the initiative to find a topic to distract from the mental pressure at this time: "Speaking of which, Colonel, the 'North Wind God' you let me awaken my soul last time, Ace and it……"
…
"Hey! Why are there Neptunes here?!!!"
Seeing the unknown giant sea king-like creature rushing straight towards him and the others, Zangao was dripping with cold sweat at the moment, almost soaking his clothes.
"It's estimated that there will still be forty seconds of contact!!!"
Because he became a sailor, the catman brothers, who had learned about distance measurement at sea, saw the huge dorsal fin breaking through the water getting closer and said anxiously:
"Young Master Zangao...Captain! Shall we open fire?"
"Isn't there that cannon on the ship? If it is that!"
But what greeted the cat-man brothers was an almost anxious response:
"Idiot! Have you forgotten your mission?! Is it the Neptunes who are more terrifying, or Colonel Crowe, whose glasses always glow with a cold light?!"
Indeed, as the Catman brothers said, Lieutenant Commander Chanko, who is disguised as the "Black Cat Pirates", has a special cannon on his ship. If this thing is used, the strange Sea Kings in front of him will not be afraid at all.
But the problem is that this special artillery is the key to Zangao's mission, and it is a one-time use. If it is used now, it means the mission has failed.
"...One hundred and twenty percent engine load! Full right rudder! Avoid it!"
As the brains of the entire ship, since Zangao rejected the Catman brothers' proposal, he must make a decision as soon as possible that he thinks is the most appropriate decision at the moment.
"But! Captain! What if this Poseidon..."
A brainless crew member couldn't help but worry, but he was interrupted by Zangao with a wave of his hand just in the middle of his words.
Gazing at the dorsal fin of the Neptune species, which was not slowing down at all, Zangao gritted his teeth, took out an ordinary-looking silver ring from his pocket, and put it on the thumb of his left hand:
"Hurry up and find a random guy and knock him out first! Make sure he wakes up and wakes us up later!"
"Captain, I'm going to use ten times the power of hypnosis!"
"hurry up!!"
"……Eh?!!"
…
During the previous world conscription, many strange guys changed their original destiny and joined the navy. But in Porusalino's view, even if these strange people are compared together, Zangao is one of the most strange ones.
According to the setting of the old thief Oda, and also the explanation of Jango himself - before Jango joined the navy, he was a wandering dancer, but because he was not famous, he often slept. One day, he slept on the grass for too long and striped mushrooms grew on his chin. Then when he was hungry, he ate the mushroom heads. Although the mushroom heads were very unpalatable, he got a doctorate from it. Hypnosis.
After obtaining hypnosis, Zangao can use props to powerfully hypnotize enemies, but he needs to cover his eyes when hypnotizing others, otherwise he will also be tricked.
To be honest, Zangao's experience and abilities are quite outrageous, almost like a joke. But even so, Porusalino, who is a Devil Fruit master, could see the origin of Jango's hypnosis at a glance - it was not a strange mushroom, but a powerful superhuman hypnotic fruit.
Therefore, after Zangao joined the Navy, he received targeted training arranged for him by Porusalino, and his hypnotic ability was greatly improved.
But even so, Zangao's hypnotic ability still cannot hypnotize enemies that are much stronger than him. For example, after Crowe activates his ability, it will only cause him mental interference for about half a second at most - the tactical significance may be there, but not much, and the strategic significance is basically zero.
However, after all, Zangao has Porusalino, the idea king, as his top boss. Facing Jango, who has become a naval force, Porusalino, who likes hypnosis plots, will definitely not let him become a fish crusher that can only torture vegetables.
After all, "Axe King" Meng Kadu has been highly mechanized and transformed into an "Axeman" with amazing combat power; and "Sword God" Johnny Joseph and the others have also received corresponding special weapons - more Not to mention Kroa Jin and the others, the strength of the entire Donghai supporting cast has been improved.
So Zangao was not forgotten, and he also got this ordinary-looking silver ring.
Or to be more precise, it used Dr. Vegapunk's Devil Fruit ability extraction technology to use the superhuman "Momo Fruit" of the "World Destroyer" Bundy Wald who was imprisoned on the sixth floor of the Undersea Prison. "The power of " is the core, a power amplifying device that can increase Zangao's hypnotic power tenfold!
Of course, this prop is one-time use just like the standard laser swords issued by the school officers. Moreover, the side effects are very serious and there are many restrictions, otherwise Porusalino would definitely use it on himself.
However, for the current Zangao, he couldn't care too much. He could only use ten times the power of hypnosis to make this weird sea king give up targeting them.
However--
"One, two, Zanani?!"
Zangao woke up and felt a little pain in the back of his head, as if he had fallen straight to the ground.
Did your previous plan succeed?
wrong! Before I could activate my ability, the sea king with only its dorsal fin exposed suddenly...
Um? !
Zangao stood up immediately and looked around in panic. Only then did he realize that he was not in any strange place, but on his own ship, in the captain's cabin, where he was also lying on his chair before.
"in the end."
"Oh? You're awake, Major Zangao! I said it should be about this time."
A strange voice came from the door. Zangao turned around warily, ready to activate his ability at any time, but his eyes widened involuntarily. Although he had not dealt with it personally, he already recognized it. The identity of the opponent who is very famous within the Navy: "You, you are... Ace of this headquarters."
"Major."
Ace smiled kindly and threw the wine bottle in his hand to the surprised Zangao, "I have the same military rank as you now. This is the wine on your ship. I found it just now. Drink some and clear your head."
Zangao accepted it blankly and looked at the wine bottle in his hand - according to the regulations of the headquarters, drinking alcohol is not allowed on ordinary warships, so as not to affect the execution of missions and daily order. But because his mission this time was special and he needed to disguise himself as a pirate, many things on the ship were set up according to the pirates' conditions. Therefore, including this bottle of wine, everything was made by him himself.
"No, no! What are you drinking now! Major Ace! What is going on?!"
Zangao reacted, shook his head violently, and asked eagerly, "My men and I were originally waiting for the start of a special mission in this sea area! But we encountered a strange sea king-like creature. We had obviously released the Driving Force Reagent, the result is that we haven’t had time to respond yet.”
"So, I'm actually very sorry, Major Zangao,"
Ace scratched his head and grinned: "The Sea King you are talking about is my ship."
".ha??!"
Due to being too surprised, Zangao's glasses slipped off. But soon, he seemed to realize something and ran directly to the window and looked out.
As the most distinguished place on the entire ship, this window in the captain's cabin of Zangao can usually see the deck and beautiful sea view.
But now——
"This, this is...!!!"
The huge black metal warship, like a whale floating to the surface to take a breath, is half-suspended quietly on the sea.
No, it should be said that the huge black submarine is maintaining its upward attitude! The huge dorsal fin that Zangao and others previously thought was a Neptune species was actually just part of the observation device of this giant submarine!
As for Zangao's ship, it was not in contact with the sea at all at this time, and was directly pressed against the front half of the giant submarine! It's like a rubber boat mounted on the outside of an ordinary submarine!
Zangao made a rough calculation and found that this huge submarine was at least five times as big as his ship!
"How is it? Major Zangao, isn't it great? This 'North Wind God'?"
Ace showed a proud smile and touched his nose, "I have just become the commander of this doomsday ship, and this trip to the East China Sea is actually its first long-distance voyage."
"Are you kidding?"
The exaggerated sight in front of him made Zangao murmur subconsciously - he had also seen the first-class battleships of the headquarters, but this submarine was obviously more like a war weapon than those huge and majestic first-class battleships!
And how come such war weapons are in the East China Sea? And had a close encounter with his ship?
But the next moment, he was so frightened that he suddenly jumped up!
"Do you think Captain Ace's statement was a joke? Major Zangao?"
"Is it a question of qualifications for the 'Doomsday Ship'? Or is it a question of Captain Ace's identity? Or is it a question about my voyage? Please point it out and I will answer it one by one."
"Also, let me introduce myself. I am the ship spirit of the 'North Wind God'. My irregular driving just caused trouble to you!"
A huge neutral metallic sound sounded suddenly.
The construction of a series of special warships, including Ace's doomsday ship "Borey", was officially given to Porusalino after he ate the soul fruit of the dead BIGMOM from Gion. Plan started.
The plan itself is actually not complicated. In the final analysis, it is to tailor some powerful warships for special young people such as Ace and An to meet some of Porusalino's special needs and perform some special tasks. But behind the simple plan, some of the key technologies contained were very exaggerated—even so exaggerated that even Porusalino thought about whether it was necessary to implement it.
