East China Sea, Sixteen Branches.

In the square, more than 100 people were enjoying the sea king feast, and in the open space beside, the seamen of the sixteen branches were beaten until their noses were bruised, and they were tied with zongzi.

If it weren't for the fact that the members of the 18th branch were wearing naval uniforms, others would have thought that the pirates had breached the 16th branch.

With Zi Xuan's Devil Fruit ability, after everyone had a full meal, all their fatigue was quickly recovering.

Just as Li Yan's sumptuous dinner was over, the phone bug rang on Li Yan's body.

"I'm Li Yan!"

"Colonel Li Yan, hello, my name is Gion, I'm the lieutenant general of the headquarters!"

Gion?

The name Li Yan is too familiar, one of the three beauties in the navy.

Speaking of which, I spent three years in the Navy Headquarters...

Li Yan had met Tina and Ain, but he had never met Gion, the alternate commander codenamed Taotu.

I don't know if it's because she's been out on a mission, or because the two have no chance of getting along.

In short, for three years, even though Li Yan deliberately searched for it for a while, he still did not see it in the end.

As for her saying that she was a lieutenant general, she was actually right.

After all, the candidate for general is not a formal position. In the establishment of the navy, Taotu and Chadou are both lieutenant generals.

"It turned out to be Lieutenant General Gion, what's the matter?"

"That's it, Sister He... Ah, it was Staff He who asked me to come to your side to deal with the sixteen branch's collusion with the Evil Dragon Pirates. I happened to be in the windless belt, and I should be able to reach the East China Sea in 2 days, yes. Go directly to the Sixteen Branch to join you?"

"So that's what happened. I wonder if Lieutenant General Gion will join me at Windmill Village?"

"Windmill Village?"

Gion naturally knows where Windmill Village is. It should be said that most navies know it.

After all, this is the hometown of the naval hero, Garp.

In terms of distance, going to Windmill Village is nothing more than an extra day's voyage, but Gion doesn't understand, why did Li Yan change the meeting point into Windmill Village?

"Yes, entrusted by Lieutenant General Garp, I need to go to Windmill Village to deal with some matters. I will bring all the navy soldiers of the Sixteen Branch and the evidence searched from the branch."

"Okay, that's fine, I expect to arrive at Windmill Village in 4 days!"

Hearing this, Gion nodded in agreement.

As for what Karp entrusted Li Yan to do, she has no problem, and there is no need to ask.

After that, I didn't say anything more. After all, the two were still strangers, and there was not much to talk about for the time being. After confirming the fortifications, they hung up the phone.

The next day, after taking all the evidence found in the Sixteen Branches and the navy, they were all taken to the warship and imprisoned, and then they set off for the Windmill Village.

Starting from the Sixteen Branch, it is actually very close to the Windmill Village, and it only takes about a day's flight.

On the way, Li Yan shouted Nuo Qi to the captain's room.

"Nokigo, do you know what a Devil Fruit is?"

"Well, I heard from other people yesterday that Chef Jiang Xuan is a devil fruit person. Speaking of which, I always thought that devil fruit was just a legend!"

Nodding his head, Nuoqigao said.

In fact, it's not just Nuoqigao, in the East China Sea, most commoners have only heard of the legend of Devil Fruit, but very few people have actually seen it.

Therefore, for them, Devil Fruits are just things that appear in various stories and rumors.

"Well, I have actually observed you. Unlike Nami, you don't have any talent in some conventional routes, but in the development of Devil Fruits, you are likely to have far more talent than others!"

"In the development of Devil Fruit?"

Nuo Qigao was not unhappy when Li Yan said that he had no talent in other areas, because it was a fact. Apart from planting orange trees, he really had nothing to do.

But what surprised him was that Li Yan said that she had the talent for developing Devil Fruits. Although she didn't quite understand what this development meant, she keenly captured a word that Li Yan used...

far beyond others!

"Yes, after eating a devil fruit, the strength of the power is not fixed."

"No, it should be said that after eating any Devil Fruit, it will be weak at the beginning, and you need to develop the abilities you have acquired step by step before it will gradually become stronger!"

"For example, it's like swordsmanship. It's not that you can become a swordsman by giving you a sword, but that you need to keep practicing swordsmanship before you can."

"Do you understand that?"

Hearing this, Nuo Qigao nodded immediately, saying that he was so straightforward, of course he could understand it.

However, do you really have the so-called devil fruit development talent?

In this regard, Nuoqigao is not very confident.

"Well, I'm calling you here today to spread the knowledge of Devil Fruits to you first, and then see which category you want. In the future, I'll try to find one for you as much as possible."

"First of all, Devil Fruits are roughly divided into three categories, namely the natural, superhuman, and animal categories, among which..."

When Li Yan said that, he spoke directly for half an hour, and explained everything he knew about Devil Fruits to Nuoqigao in detail.

This is also the first time Nuoqigao has come into contact with this knowledge. It is like listening to a story, and he is completely absorbed.

"Okay, think about it during this time, what kind of devil fruit do you want, and if there is a chance in the future, I will get one for you!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

After Nuoqigao left the captain's room, Li Yan began to think about Luffy again.

After all, in half a day, we will arrive at Windmill Village.

How to deal with Luffy, you have to think carefully.

You know, this guy is not easy to handle. If he just relies on reasoning, Li Yan has no confidence to convince this stunned young man.

Thinking of this, Li Yan suddenly realized that he seemed to understand the old man Kapuna a little bit?

Reasoning is useless, so you can only beat with your fists?

Or, do a play?

Anyway, apart from fighting, this guy's IQ is always negative at other times. Even if there are loopholes in this play, most of the young people can't see it.

This is a good way, the key is how to play this play?

There is!

Li Yan clapped his hands and suddenly had an idea.

Since it was the red-haired guy who led you to the path of pirates, let's use the red-haired guy to lead you to the road of the navy!

Well, in order to do this, we need to find a pirate group to help!

Thinking of this, Li Yan quickly walked out of the captain's room and came to the deck.

"Larnas!"

"Colonel!"

"Don't be in a hurry to go to Windmill Village, go around and find a pirate group to arrest, but be careful when you start, try not to let them see any injuries on the outside, I'm very useful! "

"Yes, Colonel, uh... what?"

Looking at Li Yan who had turned around and walked back to the captain's room...

Larnas looked bewildered.
