Chapter 223 Devil Fruit Shocks Everyone
Chapter 223 Devil Fruit Shocks Everyone
At Figarando Greengus's instruction, Burns then made a phone call to Aini.
Soon the phone call transformed into the image of Aini.
"Dad, it's me, Ani!"
Before Burns could speak, Figarando Greengus said, "I am Figarando Greengus, your grandfather."
"Figarando Grimaldi? Grandpa?"
Aini was taken aback, because under normal circumstances...
The grandfather is on the groom's side, while the maternal grandfather is on the bride's side.
But I realized it right away.
Who is his father?
To put it nicely, he's a pretty boy.
To put it bluntly, he was a male concubine of the Celestial Dragons.
Who is his mother?
Celestial Dragons.
All things considered, his cheap father wasn't even qualified to marry into the family.
So, who is the grandfather? Need I say more?
Aini readily agreed: "Grandpa, I'm Aini!"
Putting aside the fact that calling him that would grant him the most prestigious bloodline and the greatest privileges in the world, just considering the relationship itself, this Figarando Greene is indeed his ancestor.
Therefore, we call him Grandpa.
It's worth it.
Figarando Greengus nodded in satisfaction: "I've taken care of things on my end. As long as Yixiao's rank and position are settled, and he performs at the level of a general in this war, everything will be as you wish."
Upon hearing this, Aini couldn't help but laugh: "That's not difficult. With Yixiao's strength, he will definitely shock the whole world in this battle."
Figarando Greene: "That's good. But you need to be careful with Vergo. In this battle, you not only need to give him a brilliant record, but you also need to create conflict between him."
Only in this way will people believe that he is not a member of our Figalando family.
Only in this way could they secretly support his ascension to the position of Admiral.
Enni immediately understood her meaning, and after a moment's thought, said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. I won't arouse suspicion from Sengoku or the Five Elders..."
"Hahaha..."
Figarando Greenemon burst into laughter upon hearing this.
At this moment, he was in a very good mood.
I have to say, talking to smart people is so much easier and less stressful! They understand everything so quickly.
He then said, "From this moment on, you are a member of my Figarando clan. You also officially possess the Figarando surname... However, you cannot reveal your identity as a Lunar Dragon to outsiders."
Enni was slightly taken aback; he really hadn't expected to become one of the Celestial Dragons so quickly.
But he immediately smiled and obediently replied, "Okay!"
He didn't even ask why, though he could certainly think of some reasons. For example, it might be advantageous for him to become a general.
"Hahahaha!"
Figarando Greene was very satisfied with Aini's attitude.
Although Aini was good enough that he had to value him.
However, if Aini is disobedient and doesn't listen to reason, then we'll just get rid of her after we've used her.
His purpose was very clear.
Ani is the bargaining chip that allows him to stand on equal footing with the Five Elders, or even replace one of them.
And those who use chips must be aware of their own worth. Otherwise, once their desires are achieved, the chips will no longer be needed.
However, if Aini has prepared a bargaining chip, he wouldn't be so stingy as to not even offer Aini some benefits.
He added, "Don't worry, after this war, regardless of victory or defeat, Sengoku will step down from the position of Fleet Admiral, and one of Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji will definitely become the Fleet Admiral."
At that time, a vacant general's position will naturally arise. And that position will undoubtedly be yours.
"Thank you for your guidance, Grandpa..."
Aini's eyes lit up.
Once he ascends to the rank of general, he will immediately receive a system reward. His strength will then be greatly enhanced once again.
At that time, it doesn't matter if you're a redhead or one of the Five Elders.
What does he have to fear?
Even if he were to face both Kaido and Charlotte Linlin alone, he wouldn't back down.
Figarando Greene nodded: "I won't say any more. Go and prepare well! Although you've had a laugh, I suspect that Kizaru won't be coming to your aid again."
After all, the Marine Headquarters was facing the entire Whitebeard Pirates, so they naturally had to be fully prepared.
That means the pressure on your end is still considerable.
Aini: "Yes!"
........
Time passed little by little.
Kizaru has already taken Ace away, and in a very high-profile manner, he has made the whole world aware of his and Ace's movements.
This successfully attracted the attention of the entire Whitebeard Pirates.
Meanwhile, everyone on Aini's side had arrived.
Yamato, Sasaki, Utti, Page One, Denjiro, Kikunojo, Ashura Doji, Kawamatsu, Vergo, Issho, Shiryu, and Kakei.
There are also Solon, Lina, Liz, and Miss Valentine.
The group held a banquet.
Subsequently, the additional calculation was discontinued.
The rest of the people were all on our side.
His gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Denjiro, Kikunojo, Ashura Doji, Kawamatsu, and Shiryu.
Because among the group, only these few are not Devil Fruit users.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, Enni took out five Devil Fruits and handed them to the five people.
"Ah, this..."
Yamato, Sasaki, Ulti, and Page One have all eaten Devil Fruits, so they recognized them immediately.
Five Devil Fruits at once, that's quite a feat!
The four of them looked at each other in bewilderment.
Especially Sasaki, Ulti, and Page One, since Yamato's understanding of Devil Fruits is far less clear than theirs.
Devil Fruit.
Regardless of which faction it belongs to, it is the most important strategic resource.
Why did their original captain, Kaido, create artificial Devil Fruits?
It's all because they want to use artificial Devil Fruits to boost the overall strength of their pirate crew. After all, compared to the many captains and division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates...
That far surpasses the senior officers of the Beasts Pirates.
The BOOM Pirates are another story altogether. Their captain, Charlotte Linlin, is like a sow, giving birth every year.
And sometimes, a person is born as a pair of twins or triplets.
The key point is that many of her children inherited some of her talents.
If Whitebeard of the Whitebeard Pirates relied on having sons readily available.
So she built a huge family and a huge pirate crew entirely on her own.
Compared to these two great pirate crews, the Beasts Pirates are nothing special. So why didn't Kaido pursue Devil Fruits himself, but instead opted for artificial ones?
Isn't it because Devil Fruits are too precious and too rare?
If Kaido could pull out five Devil Fruits like Enni does, the Beasts Pirates' high-level combat strength would have been significantly enhanced long ago.
In that case, Aini would wipe them all out by himself.
