Chapter 555 Intelligence x Ace

Gion paused for a moment and continued, "However, according to the information I have collected, the [Netherlands Kingdom] attaches great importance to the use of technology and [Devil Fruit] abilities."

"Technology? [Devil Fruit]?"

Everyone was a little confused.

Gion explained: "There is a famous saying in the Kingdom of the Netherlands: Technology is the primary productive force. This means that the improvement of technology will make the land produce more food and the engineering produce more products. Therefore, the Kingdom of the Netherlands attaches great importance to the development of technology."

"I have visited most areas of the [Netherlands], and now they have achieved universal education. Everyone can start learning from the age of 6 until the age of 18. During this period, learning is completely free. Not only that, if you are talented at the age of 18, you can continue to study in depth."

"what!"

In the conference room, everyone's face showed astonishment.

This is really hard to imagine.

You know, education is exclusive to the nobility and the rich.

Even these vice admirals were illiterate before joining the navy.

Their current status and abilities are inseparable from the cultivation of the Navy, which is why they are so loyal to the Navy.

At this moment, everyone present had very complicated feelings.

The [Netherlands Kingdom] described by Gion is obviously more in line with their inner justice than the [World Government].

Seeing that everyone had almost digested the information, Gion continued to reveal: "In addition, the [Netherlands Kingdom] attaches great importance to the power of [Devil Fruits] and has been collecting [Devil Fruits] on a large scale."

Hearing this, He nodded slightly and said, "The navy and the [World Government] all know that some time ago, several [Devil Fruits] that flowed out of [Marijoa] changed hands many times and entered the [Netherlands Kingdom]."

"When the World Government learned of this, they were furious and even strictly prohibited the Celestial Dragons from distributing Devil Fruits."

"This should be to prevent the [Netherlands Kingdom] from obtaining more [Devil Fruits]."

Gion nodded and continued, "The [Netherlands Kingdom] pays great attention to the practical application of [Devil Fruits] in life. Their [Devil Fruit] ability users often use their abilities to accelerate the development of the [Netherlands Kingdom]."

Seeing everyone's puzzled looks, Gion thought for a moment and slowly said, "For example, after completing his daily training, Gate, a general-level warrior from the Netherlands Kingdom, would often go to the Red Earth Continent and use the power of the Door-Door Fruit to cut out huge rocks for land reclamation. Ariely, the user of the Float-Float Fruit, assisted him."

"Another admiral-level warrior, Sanda, will use the power of the Thunder Fruit to guide lightning in the clouds to generate electricity."

When they heard the examples given by Gion, the vice admirals opened their mouths in surprise.

This was beyond their imagination.

The extravagant behavior of the [Netherlands Kingdom] is no less than letting Admiral Aokiji sell shaved ice on the street and Admiral Kizaru provide lighting for others to earn military funds in the navy.

Thinking about the three admirals using their abilities to make money and develop the navy, the vice admirals couldn't help but feel moved: "This... seems to be a promising thing."

Soon, they put this disrespectful thought behind them.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the conference room was somewhat silent, Ghost Spider stared at Gion and asked a crucial question: "Why didn't the [Netherlands Kingdom] restrict your freedom after capturing you?"

Hearing this, Lieutenant General Chatun was immediately unhappy. He slammed the table, stood up, and glared at Ghost Spider: "What do you mean by this?"

Ghost Spider glanced at him, his eyes still fixed on Vice Admiral Taotu.

Doberman and the others also stared at Vice Admiral Taotu, waiting for her answer.

Gion glanced at everyone, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "The [Netherlands Kingdom] wants to recruit me... no... it should be said that they want to recruit our navy."

As soon as Gion finished speaking, Ghost Spider snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Humph! You are just dreaming!"

The other vice admirals had similar reactions, and no one took the Netherlands Kingdom's recruitment seriously.

Noticing everyone's attitude, Gion sighed slightly in her heart. Although she was devoted to the navy, after seeing the tip of the iceberg of the [Netherlands Kingdom], she was always worried about the future of the navy.

According to her observations and secret inquiries over the past few days, the [Netherlands Kingdom]'s combat power, both in terms of lower-level soldiers and middle-level combat power, is far superior to that of the navy and the [World Government].

The only drawback is that the combat power of generals and above is slightly inferior.

At the end of the meeting, He said, "Okay! Gion, next, you write a report on the intelligence of the [Netherlands Kingdom]. The more detailed the better!"

"Yes!" Gion nodded heavily and agreed.

After the meeting, Tsuru passed on the information compiled by Gion to Marshal Sengoku.

After watching it, Zhan Guo felt very complicated.

He was silent for a long time and didn't even notice when Garp pushed the door open.

Garp walked to Sengoku's desk with ease, opened the drawer skillfully, took out a bag of senbei, tore open the package, and started eating.

Not hearing the usual scolding, Garp looked at Sengoku curiously.

Seeing Zhan Guo staring at a piece of information in a daze, Garp snatched it away: "What are you looking at? You look so serious."

Quickly scanning the information, Garp's expression froze, then he became more serious.

Putting the information back on the table, Karp walked to the sofa and sat down.

Afterwards, he confirmed: "Is this intelligence true?"

"It's highly credible. This was compiled by Vice Admiral Taotu." Zhan Guo rubbed his head.

Suddenly, Garp said carelessly: "Haha~, the [Netherlands Kingdom] did a good job. I think the [World Government] might as well hand over the world to the [Netherlands Kingdom]."

"Shut up, Garp! Don't talk nonsense!" Sengoku shouted angrily with some cold sweat on his forehead.

Garp said nonchalantly: "Tsk! I didn't say anything wrong!"

Zhan Guo reminded: "Alas...Anyway...be careful with your words."

Afterwards, Sengoku summoned his adjutant and asked him to hand over the information to the World Government.

Presumably, with this information, the [World Government] will not target Vice Admiral Momosagi.

After the adjutant left, Karp said calmly, "Isn't the Kingdom of the Netherlands recruiting people? If I can't stay in the navy anymore, I can go there to retire."

"Ha~, stop joking!" Zhan Guo's mouth twitched, and he didn't know how to complain.

Just as the two were chatting, a messenger came in and reported respectfully: "Marshal! The latest news is that Ace the Fire Fist has officially become the captain of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates."

"What!" Upon hearing the familiar name, Garp froze in place, and the senbei in his hand fell to the ground without him holding on tightly.
