chapter 38

"What if I say, that guy's talent is no worse than the three of us?"

Sakazuki's rare words with a smile fell, and Polsalino couldn't help being stunned for a while.

The sea breeze is cool and whirring.

Borsalino's expression suddenly became quite exciting.

He subconsciously didn't believe it, but after thinking about it, this guy who has a good eye for everything in front of him seems to have no need to lie to deceive himself.

But if this were true, it would be too unbelievable.

Polsalino knew exactly who Sakazuki was referring to by "the three of us."

Sakazuki himself is of course one of them,

Besides,

It was Borsalino and Aokiji, who had just graduated from officer training camp and was now following Garp in pursuit of the Roger Pirates on the Grandline.

Although Kuzan is now only Garp's adjutant, and his rank is only a major general, Borsalino is very aware of his true strength and is no longer under him.

Sakazuki, Bolsalino, and Kuzan are the three people who are recognized as "monsters" in the naval system.

They all have unique terrifying talents, and it can be said without hesitation that the three of them will be proper admirals in the future.

But now Sakazuki, the arrogant guy, actually admits that Adam Rice, the North Sea kid, has the same potential as the three of them?

"you sure?"

Polusalino took a sip of the watermelon juice and frowned, as if the freshly squeezed iced watermelon juice was no longer so sweet.

Sakazuki said slowly:

"Well, at least as far as I've seen the guy."

Borsalino looked suspicious, and then he seemed to have suddenly remembered something and asked:

"So what exactly is that kid's Devil Fruit ability?"

Sakazuki shook his head and said:

"I am not sure as well."

"He hid well."

"I thought at first that it was some kind of superhuman with special abilities that could subtly affect the minds of others..."

Speaking of this, Sakazuki's eyebrows gradually tightened, as if recalling some image in his mind.

Borsalino was keenly aware of the strange color on his face,

"You seem to remember something."

Sakazuki suddenly let out a long breath,

"That was a large-scale mission before I left the North Sea. At that time, a pirate group under the command of the Golden Lion was about to move."

"They received an order from the Golden Lion to enter the Great Channel from the North Sea."

"In order to weaken the power of the Flying Sky Pirates, the headquarters ordered me to surround and destroy them."

"I gave this task to Adam Rice at the time."

"But what happened next caught me by surprise."

"He took a warship and dozens of accompanying soldiers and entered the temporary station of the pirate group."

"In half an hour, his mission is complete."

"According to the report of the navy soldiers who accompanied him at the time, when he landed on the island, Adam Rice went there alone."

"But when he came out, there was not even a trace of blood on his body."

"Later, the soldier in charge of the mission inspection reported that there were no survivors on the island."

"A pirate group with five hundred pirates, their bodies are piled up together, and everyone retains the expression before death."

"It was a crazy, twisted, grinning look."

"I reported this matter to the headquarters, and the results of the headquarters' analysis..."

Sakaski paused, shook his head and said:

"The reason for those pirate groups to die is to kill each other."

"Even before they died, they were still smiling like crazy..."

As Sakazuki spoke, such a picture gradually emerged in Borssalino's mind.

The blood on the desert island,

Adam Rice with a creepy and charming smile,

While smoking a cigar, he quietly watched the hundreds of pirates in front of him swinging butcher knives at his partner with frantic laughter.

Blood stained the ground.

Corpses are piled all around.

But the man just looked at it, as if mocking the world.

"There is no superhuman devil fruit ability that creates such an effect..."

Sakazuki said in a gloomy voice at this time:

"So I guess that his Devil Fruit ability is a rarer, more mysterious and dangerous ability than Paramecia devil fruit."

quiet,

There was a dead silence on the deck.

Both Sakazuki and Borsalino fell silent.

Of course they are not afraid,

but the unknown mystery,

Let both of them have an inexplicable sense of horror in their hearts.

"It's so weird..."

Borsalino suddenly sneered.

"When you said that, I also became curious, Sakazuki..."

Sakazuki turned around and said slowly:

"Calm down, Borsalino... It is still necessary to give some respect to the freshmen of the military academy."

"Here we are."

He opened his eyes and saw that a towering naval base had already appeared on the sea in the distance.
