Chapter 145 It’s like eating shit

Darren has actually been aware of the flying squirrel's difficulties for a long time. ×º°”˜˜`”°º×

He knows Doflamingo's talent better than anyone else.

He awakened his domineering domineering energy at the age of eight!

A seemingly useless Thread Fruit, he developed the terrifying ability of "attack, control, self-healing, clone, large-scale extermination and massacre".

This kind of innate potential is unique in the entire pirate world!

Coupled with his cold-blooded, cruel and ruthless temperament and character, there are not many people who can compare with him in this sea, to be honest.

Although Flying Squirrel is very talented, and in the original plot, he is an elite lieutenant general and the mainstay of justice, performing various difficult tasks, but compared to a "born" dark king like Doflamingo, he is still Slightly inferior.

The most important thing is that when there is no chance to master Haki in the early stage, the advantage held by Devil Fruit users in terms of strength is overwhelming.

Perhaps Flying Squirrel can still barely suppress Doflamingo with his superb swordsmanship and rich combat experience, but as time goes by, the pressure he faces will inevitably increase, and he will even be overtaken in the end.

This is an undeniable fact.

As for the solution, it’s actually very simple.

Send Flying Squirrel to the officer training camp and make a time difference so that he can master the Six Styles and Haki as quickly as possible and grow up quickly.

But there are two difficulties with this approach.

First, the next elite officer training camp is still far away, and the Flying Squirrel needs to urgently improve its strength;

Second, with Flying Squirrel's talent, he may be able to master the Sixth Marine Style quickly, but he may not be able to master the domineering power.

So there is only one final solution.

"I bring you a gift from the Grand Line."

Facing the flying squirrel's doubtful eyes, Darren smiled and said:

"A gift that can transform you into an epic leap in strength."

"Gift?"

A flash of doubt flashed in the flying squirrel's eyes, and he said curiously:

"What is it?"

Darren waved, and a metal box made of metal with a smooth surface floated in from the window on a stable flight path.

"A devil fruit."

As the weak blue arc danced between Darren's fingers, the surface of the metal box rippled, and then parted toward both sides, revealing the contents inside.

The moment he saw this thing in front of him, the flying squirrel's eyes froze.

He stared intently at the strange fruit that exuded some strange, mysterious and even destructive aura in the metal box, carefully trying to identify it.

His lips were pursed tightly, his expression extremely serious.

After a while, his eyes suddenly widened and his expression was extremely shocked. He, who was usually calm, couldn't help but exclaimed:

"This, this is..."

"That's right, the natural system is the strongest...the thunder fruit."

Darren was very satisfied with the flying squirrel's reaction and laughed.

"...The legendary devil fruit... actually exists, and you found it..."

The flying squirrel looked at this fruit in disbelief, his hands even trembled a little, and he could no longer look away.

It was a strange fruit that was golden in color and similar to the shape of a pineapple. Its surface had lightning-like lines, exuding a violent, violent and mysterious aura.

The legendary thunder fruit!

Known as the "strongest" in the natural system!

If you take this Devil Fruit, you will gain immense power!

This is different from ordinary natural devil fruits.

Thunder originally symbolized natural disasters!

Possessing natural disaster level destructive power!

As Admiral of the North Sea and Darren's deputy, Flying Squirrel also read the Devil Fruit illustrated book through Darren's channel.

After all, the Devil Fruit itself, known as the "Secret Treasure of the Sea," is a rare commodity, and they have also tried to collect Devil Fruit in the North Sea over the years.

So almost the moment he saw this Devil Fruit, he recognized this legendary ability!

It's just that the first reaction was a little disbelief.

This is a natural devil fruit that can rival the three "monsters" in this part!

And now, Darren actually wants to give him to him?

It is absolutely impossible for the flying squirrel to say that he is not moved.

However.

"No,"

The flying squirrel suddenly took a deep breath, forced his eyes away from the thunder fruit, and gritted his teeth and said:

"This is a legendary fruit. You should keep it for yourself, Darren."

There were streaks of blood in his eyes, but he stared at Darren with great solemnity.

Darren pinched his temples helplessly and said:

"Have you forgotten that I am already a user with the ability of the magnetic fruit?"

"A person cannot take two Devil Fruits at the same time. The consequence of greed is to explode and die. This is the iron law of Devil Fruits."

"I'm not going to commit suicide."

Blackbeard's ability to become a dual devil fruit user may have something to do with his special physique.

The temptation of double fruit is indeed great, but Darren doesn't want to risk his life.

At least there is no need to gamble your life in a place like this.

The flying squirrel was stunned when he heard this.

He was so anxious that he forgot about it for a while.

But he still shook his head,

"Then you should give this thunder fruit to a more suitable person..."

There was a dim look in his eyes.

"I'm afraid my talent and potential are not enough to control it."

There is an upper limit to the development of Devil Fruits, and this has a lot to do with the ability users themselves.

No matter how powerful a Devil Fruit is, if it falls into the hands of an incompetent person, the power it can develop will be extremely limited.

Darren was a little angry and funny when he heard this:

"I really didn't expect that some people would reject the gifts I gave out..."

He shook his head and looked at the flying squirrel seriously:

"Don't underestimate yourself, Flying Squirrel."

"In my opinion... you are the most suitable candidate."

The flying squirrel pursed his lips, thought for two seconds, and then shook his head and said:

"No, this gift is too expensive..."

Darren glanced at him, exhaled a stream of smoke, and suddenly said something unrelated:

"In the year 1487 of the Haiyuan calendar, I was fourteen years old. I had just joined Beihai branch 321, and my position was the lowest rank of private."

"At that time, my physical fitness was very poor. Even the most basic physical training would cost me half my life... However, according to the rules of the recruits, in addition to daily training, I must also be responsible for the cleaning of the military headquarters. Work."

"That day, when I was dragging my tired body and washing the toilet with a brush, I suddenly fainted."

"It was you who found me and carried me to the hospital..."

"When I woke up, the toilet had been cleaned and I avoided military law."

The flying squirrel was startled, then waved his hands disapprovingly and said:

"That's just a piece of cake."

Darren ignored his words and just kept talking to himself:

"In the year 1488 of the Ocean Calendar, I participated in my first actual combat mission. The target at that time was the Blood Scythe Pirates. I was so frightened that I couldn't even hold my saber steady. I was almost cut in half by a pirate with an axe... It was you. He pulled me and saved my life."

"And you got shot because of it."

The flying squirrel opened his mouth to say something, but Kelun didn't give him a chance and continued:

"In the year 1489 of the Hainan calendar, you and I were promoted to lieutenants at the same time. We were very high-spirited... leading a team of twenty people to clean up the underworld forces on an island..."

"It was a trap... The entire team that was ambushed was trapped in an alley. All the men were dead. I was shot twice and three times, and finally lost consciousness and fell into a coma."

"When I woke up later, I was already in the hospital."

"The person lying in the bed next to you is you."

"You look much worse than I do."

"The doctor told me that you rushed out of that alley while I was in a coma with serious injuries on your back. I was shot five times and stabbed six times..."

He glanced at the flying squirrel's left foot.

"There is also a piece of shrapnel in your knee that has not been removed, so you have been afraid to use your left foot all these years."

Darren smoked and smiled.

The smile was a little light and gentle, but there was a hint of heaviness in his eyes that couldn't be resolved.

"Do you need me to continue?"

"Other people don't remember it, and the military merit books don't record it, but I remember it all."

"Five years have passed since I joined the Navy..."

"In the past five years, including the time when you cleaned the toilet, you have saved me thirteen times in total..."

"You tell me, if I go and work for my life... I am a famous figure now, the "King of the North Sea" who dominates the North Sea, the "monster" of the Navy Headquarters, the one who killed the "World Destroyer" Bundy Waldo, The new star of the navy who destroyed the base camp of the Beast Pirates...what is his value?"

The flying squirrel fell silent.

He gradually understood what Darren meant and whispered:

"Immeasurable."

"Yes, immeasurable."

Darren laughed,

"But you saved such an inestimable life thirteen times."

The flying squirrel pouted and said:

"You save me more times, okay..."

Darren was speechless and said angrily:

"Is now the time to settle this with you?"

"What I'm talking about is that we have fought side by side for so many years. With such a friendship... why are you still complaining!?"

"I don't have many friends and I don't trust people."

"You are the only one who can be trusted in this sea."

The flying squirrel hesitated.

"But……"

"Holy shit!!"

Darren immediately became angry, and the flying squirrel couldn't help but waved his hand.

Clang! !

The metal wristbands suddenly flew out, melted and separated at lightning speed, forming several shackle-like objects that quickly wrapped around the flying squirrel's hands and feet.

"Nail" his whole body to the ground!

"Darren you..."

The flying squirrel's expression changed, and he subconsciously exclaimed.

But Kadalun took advantage of this opportunity to grab the thunder fruit...

He stuffed it into the flying squirrel's mouth!

Juice splashed everywhere.

The flying squirrel was momentarily confused and his eyes froze.

The next second,

"Darren you fucking bastard!!"

"This thing..."

He roared angrily, his face flushed, his expression distorted, he coughed and vomited violently, and tears burst from the corners of his eyes:

"...It's like eating shit!!"
