"Here I'm back..."

Looking at the Navy headquarters ahead, Ron stopped practicing.

It has been almost a month since he left the Navy headquarters to returned. Although he did not achieve significant results in attacks in this month, his understanding of the second-level magic of the guardian system has greatly increased the flexibility of combat.

Before leaving, he had a low chance of winning against any lieutenant general in the headquarters. It can only be said that his attack power is stronger than that of most lieutenant generals.

Now, with the Six Staff Light Prison and the Elf Ball, plus the Enchanted Elf Wand, there are not many lieutenant generals in the department who can beat him.

The military merit required to be promoted to Lieutenant General is 150,000.

With Ron's current strength, he can indeed arrest more pirates and be promoted to lieutenant general as soon as he graduates, but for him there is no need for it.

On the one hand, you have no achievements to be promoted to Lieutenant General after graduation. On the other hand, you can get the achievements you can get at the Navy headquarters. If you want to get more freedom to get the achievement points, you will naturally have to go to the branch after graduation.

Ron was a little hesitant to stay in the headquarters or go to the branch before, but now he has no hesitation. His current strength can escape even if Doflamingo attacks.

Step into the port of the Shanghai Army Headquarters.

While Ron was thinking about what he had planned for the next time, his eyes suddenly flashed and he exclaimed.

He clearly felt that his soul had a little shock. During this shock, his mental power began to increase, about 2 points.

"This feeling is... Nami's breakthrough?"

Ron quickly found the source of spiritual power improvement, which was because of the resonance of the mark brought by Nami. Judging from this, Nami's total mental power should have been increased to 30 points.

Thinking of this, Ron couldn't help but smack his lips.

If you remember correctly, Nami has 20 points of mental power until now, it has only been more than a month. She has improved 10 points of mental power in a month and a half and has broken through a small realm?!

Although there are reasons why the initial stage of cultivation will improve faster, Nami's cultivation speed is a bit too fast. He increased by 3 or 4 points in the first month, less than half of Nami's improvement!

And Ron guessed that Nami would not devote all her time to cultivation. She might only meditate for a few hours a day, and then she had 30 points of mental power.

All right.

Ron sighed, it seemed that Nami was indeed a genius.

But unfortunately, he is a little more genius, and his total mental power is close to 120 o'clock now.

...

Back at the Navy headquarters, Ron came directly to the Affairs Office and did a few things.

The first thing is to submit an early graduation application.

The second thing is to consume 30,000 military merits to exchange for animal-type devil fruits.

The third thing is to consume 25,000 military merits to exchange for a large piece of irregular sea tower stone.

This part is indeed exchanged for Hailou stones, including the raw stones.

The processing of Hailou stone is extremely difficult, and it is much more difficult than mining, especially things like Hailou stone bullets. Apart from Wano Country, only Baikal can be manufactured.

Therefore, there are rules, processed sea-house stones have very high value, especially for sea-house stone weapons, while non-processed irregular sea-house stone raw stones are much cheaper.

For Ron, whether the rules have little impact, he only cares about the overall size.

Therefore, the Hailou stones exchanged for 25,000 military merits are also very huge, in the shape of an irregular stone. If cut into a spherical shape, the diameter can be about one meter.

The sea tower stones inlaid at the bottom of the warship are just bigger than this.

Although I don’t know what Ron is doing to exchange such a large piece of Hailou Stone for, not many people care, because people often exchange it. After all, Hailou Stone is extremely difficult to destroy with its fruit ability, and it can be said to be the best target for those who are capable of it.

No matter how you fight, you don't have to worry about it being broken.

Because it takes a process to graduate early, the graduation assessment cannot be started immediately. After redeeming the Hailou Stone and Demon Fruit, Ron returned to his residence.

...

In the center of the cleaned room.

There is an irregular sea tower stone with a diameter of about one meter.

Ron was standing not far away. He did not look at the sea tower stone, but was squinting his eyes and staring at an animal-type devil fruit in his hand that looked like a banana.

Ron once snatched a devil fruit from the Don Quixote family, and killed Seniol for this reason, making enemies with the Don Quixote family.

That time, Ron also studied the devil fruit from a spiritual perspective, but he could only sense that the devil fruit contained some kind of energy and curse, but he could not sense something clearer.

And now.

His mental power has reached 100 points, he has the God mode, and his observation ability has reached the level of microscopic Ron who can see the cellular level. When he observes the devil fruit, he has seen more completely different things.

After he raised his observation power to the extreme, he could vaguely observe that the devil fruit seemed to be composed of "runes"!

These runes are not the runes Ron knows, but appear very rough, or the simplest expression of the rules. The most important point is that there is not only one rune, but is complex and composed of countless, all connected to each other, and it is a whole!

It is as if you are observing the most primitive components of life.

"These runes... don't seem to be eternal runes, but they seem to have some eternal characteristics, but they are a bit too complicated."

Ron stared at the observation, and after observing for a long time, his brows frowned more and more.

The number of runes contained in this devil fruit is no less than a hundred, each of which seems rough and difficult to understand. It is even more difficult to understand why it can form an animal-type devil fruit after being mixed together, unless he can study it for a few more animal-types.

"Don't worry, remember it first."

Feeling that his soul was getting more and more "hungry" and wanted to devour the energy contained in this devil fruit, Ron shook his head slightly in his heart, no longer exploring in depth, but carefully remembered the rune that built this devil fruit, and then no longer suppressed the soul's desire to devour.

Just like last time, his spirit instantly extended to his body, like a demon, opened his bloody mouth, swallowed the devil's fruit in one mouthful, and broke all the runes in it away. After crushing it, he squeezed out all the energy and quickly absorbed it.

Sizzle!

Ron threw away the rest along with the curse.

The curse part is also a rune. Ron thought about this part of the rune. Perhaps it might be a dark curse rune, but it is also very rough and obscure.
