Chapter 97 Golden Age
321 Beihai Naval Branch.
Military hospital.
The ashes of the cigar fell lightly to the ground. Darren exhaled a stream of smoke and winked at the nurse who was changing his needle water, causing the latter's ears to turn slightly red.
"How did the thing I asked you to do go?"
The flying squirrel glanced at the nurse, then said slowly after careful consideration:
"According to your arrangement, many fruits of various types were piled in the cabins of the fleet warships performing the mission, but no special changes were found."
Darren frowned.
"Where is the target island? Has it been searched?"
The flying squirrel nodded cautiously,
"We have been searching all directions for the past two days and nothing has been found."
"The desert island has a cold zone climate. It is covered by wind and snow all year round. Only a very few cold-resistant plants can grow. It is completely unsuitable for human habitation. There are almost no fruit plants."
Having said this, he paused, and when the shy young nurse walked out of the ward, he carefully lowered his voice and said:
"When General Sengoku's warship was supplying the 321st branch, I also boarded the ship to look for it, but I didn't find what you wanted..."
"I have seen the logbook on the warship and the consumption record of supplies on their warship. Three days before the mission was officially carried out, the fruit inventory on their warship was exhausted."
Hearing the flying squirrel's words, Darren let out a breath of turbid air. After a moment of silence, he suddenly burst into laughter:
"Sure enough, it's not that easy..."
The flying squirrel muttered:
"Are you sure your idea is right? When a Devil Fruit user dies, the Devil Fruit will be reborn on the fruit closest to the user..."
"This kind of thing is unheard of in this ocean."
Darren shook his head,
"No, this is just my speculation, not certain."
"It's just a small experiment that allows you to prepare fruit in advance and conduct a large-scale search of the island during the cleanup after the war."
"Now it seems that this speculation is not valid."
He naturally believed in the flying squirrel's ability to work.
After working together for many years, Darren is very clear about his abilities and responsibilities. As long as it is his own order, no matter how ridiculous it sounds, he will execute it meticulously in the end.
Since he said he couldn't find it, it means he couldn't find it.
In this way, the inference that "Devil Fruits will be reborn on nearby fruits after the death of the esper" has been overturned.
This is understandable.
As a time traveler, Darren is somewhat familiar with the plot of Pirates.
Regarding the rebirth of Devil Fruit, it appeared three times in the original plot.
The first time was when Whitebeard died in the battle on top. Blackbeard used some special method... probably the ability of the Dark Fruit to plunder his Shock Fruit.
The second time was Fire Fist Ace. Two years after the end of the Summit War, his Burning Fruit fell into the hands of Doflamingo, who put it in the fighting fish arena as bait.
Also, in the plot of Punk Hassa Island, the killing weapon slime created by the "evil scientist" Caesar Brown used scientific means to make the poison gas eat the devil fruit and turn into the form of a salamander fruit.
After the slime ate the candy and died, one of the apples in a basket not far away changed strangely and gradually turned into a devil fruit.
It is this scene that makes many pirate fans think that this is the rebirth mechanism of Devil Fruit.
Therefore, in this operation to defeat Bundy Waldo, Darren also had a try attitude and asked the North Sea Fleet to bring a lot of fresh fruits.
After all, Bundy Waldo's Momo Fruit is indeed very powerful. Even if he can't use it himself, it is a good choice to give it to his subordinates to form his own core team.
But now it seems that the rebirth mechanism of Devil Fruit may be more complicated than I imagined.
But this is completely understandable.
If the rebirth mechanism of Devil Fruit was really that simple, the world government and navy would have discovered it long ago.
Apart from anything else, many of the criminals imprisoned in the city are Devil Fruit users.
In Impelton's long history, there were definitely cases where prisoners died due to torture, disease, extreme evil, heat, cold, or even natural aging.
According to Darren's understanding, transport ships specifically responsible for food supplies will come in and out of Propulsion City every once in a while to deliver food to the staff of Propulsion City, which naturally includes fruits.
The geographical environment of Impel Down City is unique, surrounded by the sea and surrounded by windless sea areas.
If a person with Devil Fruit abilities dies in Impel Down City, and there is a fruit in Impel Down City, then according to the "rebirth mechanism" of Devil Fruit, the devil fruits possessed by the dead prisoners with abilities will inevitably be reborn in Impel Down City.
But over the years, countless prisoners have died in Impel City, but there has never been any news about the discovery of Devil Fruit in Impel City.
"So... the rebirth of Devil Fruit... maybe there is no pattern, is it absolutely random?"
Darren muttered.
"Do you need me to continue searching? Maybe the rebirth of the Devil Fruit will take more time to appear?" Flying Squirrel asked.
"Well, we can leave some manpower to continue searching on the target island."
Although the chance is slim, if possible, Darren will not miss the slightest chance.
"no problem."
The flying squirrel nodded.
"By the way, there is one more thing. There is news from Marine Fando at our headquarters that the third officer training camp will officially start in 10 days."
A glint flashed in Darren's eyes and he smiled:
"Is it finally starting?"
The flying squirrel pulled out a document from the folder behind him and handed it to Darren.
"This is the list of personnel for the third officer training camp."
Darren took the file and opened it.
The first line of the list is his name.
"Admiral of the North Sea, Commodore of the Naval Headquarters, Rogers Darren"
Darren laughed,
"It seems that the award for the Hildes Saint incident has been approved by the headquarters. I have been promoted."
The corner of Flying Squirrel's mouth twitched.
Darren continued reading along the file.
"Lieutenant Colonel Kuzan, born in the South China Sea."
"Navy Captain, Dauberman, from the West Sea."
"Lieutenant Colonel of the Navy, Huo Shaoshan, born in the South China Sea."
"Navy Lieutenant Colonel, Ghost Spider, born in the West Sea."
"..."
He saw many familiar names.
"The golden generation...the stars are really shining brightly."
Darren looked at the names on the famous list that would resound throughout the sea and write countless stories in the naval camp in the future, and the smile on his face was full of anticipation.
The waves of the times are about to rise, and this is a mighty and star-studded era! !

The origins of some lieutenant generals and the time they joined the training camp are unknown, so there may be discrepancies, but they will not affect the plot.
Ask for everything and be grateful.
