"Cough cough, I found this in the treasure room. It's a superhuman sleeping fruit! Celia, didn't you want to help me fight? Then, eat it and train with us. You'll become stronger soon!”Vic explained simply. As for where the treasure room was, it was up to Hawkins and Celia to figure it out. He would not explain further.
Hawkins was slightly dazed. Although he found Vic's explanation strange, he didn't think too much about it. Maybe it was luck.
"Okay, I understand. I'll work hard!”Celia nodded solemnly. She took the Devil's Fruit and took a deep breath. She suppressed her excitement and bit into it.
" Ugh!" Celia's face turned pale and she almost vomited. However, she swallowed it back down.
"How is it?" Vic looked at Celia with concern.
" I feel a strange power in my body..." Celia stretched out her hand, her face full of surprise." Sleeping Fruit... Is this my ability?"!”
"It seems that you have already understood your own ability. Then, as long as you strengthen your training, you will be able to improve your strength very quickly!”Hawkins walked over and looked down at Celia." Come on, try using your ability on me!”
Vic nodded at Celia and encouraged her." Try it!”
Celia nodded, then raised her right hand to Hawkins." Slumber-lullaby!”
Buzz!
Circles of pink ripples were emitted from Celia's hands and landed on Hawkins.
Hawkins 'body swayed slightly, and he felt a wave of fatigue wash over him. His eyes were sore, and he had the urge to fall asleep.
" Oh, looks like it's working!" Vic also noticed the fatigue on Hawkins 'face after Celia's ability was used on him. His eyelids were blinking slowly, and he looked sleepy.
" Hmm... My head feels dizzy, and I feel like I want to sleep... Yawning..." Hawkins closed his eyes and carefully felt Celia's sleeping ability. When he felt that he was about to fall asleep, Hawkins bit the tip of his tongue. The intense pain hit him, and his dizzy head suddenly woke up.
"How is it?" Vic looked at Hawkins, who had suddenly opened his eyes and no longer looked drowsy.
" If you're not prepared, you'll fall asleep very quickly after being hit by Celia's sleeping ability. However, if you're strong in will or if there's a strong external stimulus, such as intense pain, you'll wake up very quickly..."
Hawkins slowly said," In short, this is a very good ability. As long as we continue to develop it, this ability will become even stronger!”
"Really?" Celia was pleasantly surprised." Hehehe, that's great! I can become stronger in the future!" I've decided. I must train hard and strive to improve my sleeping ability as soon as possible!”
"Leave the training to me. Don't expect me to relax my requirements for you!”Vic said seriously as he punched his palm.
"No problem, please be strict with me!”Celia replied seriously.
While the Free Pirates were sailing toward Videli Island, Colonel Tona and Major Ramison, who had escaped from Handbam Island, finally returned to the largest naval base in the North Sea, Fort G13.
"Ah, Colonel Tona, you're back!”A navy soldier saluted Colonel Toner and said," Lieutenant General Holfa is waiting for you in the office!”
"Yes, I know!" Colonel Tona's expression did not look too good. He nodded at the soldier, then turned to Major Ramison behind him and said," Ramison, go and treat your injuries first. I'll go and see Lieutenant General Holfa!”
"Yes, sir!" Due to the excessive loss of blood, Lamison's face was extremely pale. When he heard his superior's order, he answered reflexively.
Colonel Tona's face darkened as he looked at his injured subordinates. He nodded at Ramison and walked towards the office of the commanding officer of the G13 fortress.
"Major Ramison, please follow me. The infirmary is this way!”
The soldier helped Ramison to the infirmary.
Dong dong--
Colonel Tona stood outside the door and knocked.
" Come in--" A vigorous voice came from the office.
Colonel Tona pushed open the door and walked in. He saw a middle-aged man with short blond hair sitting behind the desk. He was wearing the lieutenant general uniform of the navy. It was Lieutenant General Holfa, the commander of Base G13.
The entire office was simple and clean. On the front wall in the middle, there was a calligraphy of the Army of Justice. There were piles of documents on the table. At this moment, Lieutenant General Holfa was buried in the documents.
The commanding officer of Fortress G13 did not look muscular. Instead, he exuded a refined aura. However, to be able to ascend to the position of lieutenant general in the navy, which was filled with experts, his strength was undoubtedly powerful!
"Colonel Tona of the North Sea Division of the Navy Intelligence Department pays his respects to you, Lieutenant General Holfa!”Tona stood at attention and saluted, looking straight at Lieutenant General Holfa with a serious expression.
"Oh, Colonel Tona, are you back?!”Holfa raised his head and looked at Tona, who was standing opposite him. A hint of doubt appeared on his solemn face." It seems to be a little later than the agreed time... But forget it. So, what was the result of your operation this time?! Did those two agree to the navy's recruitment?!”
"Unfortunately, they refused and even attacked Major Ramison and me. They had no intention of joining the navy!”Recalling today's encounter, Colonel Tona was suddenly enraged." On Handbam Island, Steele Vick and Basil Hawkins defeated the Heavy Hammer Pirates and subdued hundreds of pirates to form the Free Pirates. It can be confirmed that the other party has completely gone against the navy!”
" I see, I see…" Lieutenant General Holfa was not surprised at all. Pirates had been emerging on the sea in the past decade. He frowned slightly and said," Immediately ask the navy headquarters to carry out the encirclement plan as soon as possible!" Recently, trouble has been happening in the North Sea one after another. Even the former rear admiral Drake, who defected from the navy not long ago, has now become a pirate at sea. He has even made quite a name for himself in the North Sea..."
"Yes, sir!" Colonel Tona saluted." Then, I'll excuse myself first!”
Back in his room, Colonel Tona took out the phone bug used by the intelligence department for special communication and began to report the situation to the navy headquarters.
"Rejected? As expected!”
"What should we do next? Do we need G13 Base to send out warships to encircle and annihilate them?!”
"Let them prepare for the time being. Vice Admiral Dauberman will personally lead the encirclement and suppression operation. If possible, we can also take care of that traitor!”
"Yes, I understand. I will urge Base G13 to make preparations and wait for Lieutenant General Douberman to arrive!”
"Yes, thank you!"
"Kacha!"
The phone bug hung up, and Colonel Tona's serious face could not help but reveal a smug smile." Just you wait, Steele Vick, Basil Hawkins, we'll meet again soon. I hope you won't be too surprised then, hehehe..."
