Pirates on Top of the War: I Will Stand In the Sky

  Chapter 33 The Fruit of the Strong City · Xiaojin

   You must know that Hope is an old subordinate of the Warring States Period. He may not be able to serve as a general-level officer, but he is absolutely worshipful and loyal to the Warring States Marshal.

   Disrespectful to the Admiral and adjusted his rank? It's a shame the old man could come up with such a ridiculous excuse.

   It would be better to say that Hope stepped into Marin Vando with his left foot first, which caused Marin Vando’s geography to slightly tilt, thus being disrespectful to the Tianlong people and was severely punished.

   "I can't even make excuses."

   Ion grumbled feebly, and immediately said to Hope.

   "Hope, if you are coerced and framed by the Marshal of the Warring States Period, just blink, and I will take you back to the Marshal of the Warring States Period to fight for it and promise to restore your official position."

  Hope heard the words, and seemed to deeply feel the care and tenderness from Ion, and said with an increasingly firm tone.

   "Master Yan, you have a heart, but this is my volition."

   "No, you're not," Ion said.

   "No, I am."

   Hope raised his voice and answered loudly.

   "I volunteered to follow Lord Yanen, and I also applied to the Warring States Marshal to serve as Lord Yanen's adjutant. As long as I can follow Lord Yann, the military rank is not worth mentioning at all."

   For a while, as Hope's volume soared, this caused the naval soldiers on the warship and even in the port to look in the direction of Ion and Hope.

   Countless eyes filled with curiosity and astonishment made Yon feel a sense of social death inexplicably.

  Ion's temple couldn't help but jump slightly, waved his hand, and said. "Don't, don't say it, get off the boat!"

   "Yes, Lord Ion."

   Immediately, under the command of Hope, this medium-sized warship began to set sail and sailed in the direction of the Gate of Justice.

   I have to say that Hope, as a former subordinate of the Warring States Marshal, was promoted from the bottom of the army to fighting all the way.

   may be lacking in decision-making ability and strategic ability, but it is qualified for warship manipulation, personnel command, astronomical climate and combat ability.

   "Forget it, Hope is Hope. At least if Hope is the adjutant, I don't need to spend any energy on the rest of the trivial matters."

  Ion sighed slightly and comforted himself.

   "Just in this way, going to the Beihai Sea is more like a tourist. Just Hope's combat power as a colonel of the Navy headquarters has already crushed the level of the Beihai Navy."

   According to the rank of the navy today, the highest is the admiral, followed by the general-level officer, the colonel-level officer, the lieutenant-level officer and the soldiers of different ranks.

   The highest rank in the Four Seas Navy is only Colonel, there are no officers above the general level, and the gold content of the rank directly under the Navy Headquarters will be one level stronger than that of the Four Seas Navy.

   In other words, Ion, as a captain of the navy headquarters, is the same as a captain of the North Sea Navy.

  Perhaps this is also the case, so when the Warring States Marshal established the Sihai Inspectorate Division, he set the rank to be captain.

   Generally speaking, in this sea where the strong are respected, one of the hard conditions for the promotion of naval rank is also one's own strength.

   In other words, if the former Colonel Hope of the Navy Headquarters goes to the North Sea, there is basically no navy in the North Sea that can beat Hope.

   "Tsk, with Hope by your side, you shouldn't be too presumptuous in your behavior in the future, otherwise the old man will definitely know that this is simply naked surveillance..."

  Ion muttered, but suddenly reacted and laughed at himself.

   "The old man really wants to spy on me, so he doesn't need to send Hope, whom I know well, at all. It's enough to just send a trustworthy adjutant, so..."

  Ion turned his head to look at Malin Fando, who was gradually moving away. He could vaguely feel a concerned look watching him, and muttered.

   "The old man is very tough on the surface, but in fact, he probably doesn't trust my body, so he specially sent Hope to protect me, really..."

   At the end, Ion couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in a low voice.

   "But I'm sorry, old man, I'm still too weak right now, so you can stay busy in Marinfando, I'll go outside for a few years..."

   "No, no old man of ten or twenty years thought I would come back?"

   After commanding the warship to maintain its normal speed, Hope hurried back to Ion's side again and shouted.

   "Sir Yan, I'm sorry, I forgot to take you to the room to put your luggage first... Huh? Lord Yan, didn't you bring your luggage?"

  Ion smiled and said to the canary standing on his shoulder. "To the beautiful and peaceful North Sea, I just need to bring my bird."

   "Bird?" Hope looked in the direction Ion pointed, only to notice the golden bird standing motionless on Ion's shoulder.

   What made Hope feel strange was that the golden bird's eyes flickered with human-like light from time to time, which even gave Hope an inexplicable illusion that the bird was smarter than himself.

   "That's right, it's called Xiaojin, let's say hello." Ian said.

  Xiaojin raised a wing, made a gesture similar to a military salute towards Hope, and shouted. "Chirp."

  Hope quickly returned a military salute when he saw this, but as for what to say, Hope was a little embarrassed.

   After being stunned for a while, Hope suddenly thought of something and reminded Yandao. "Master Yan, you didn't inform the bird raising in advance, and there is no special bird food prepared on the boat."

   Ion replied. "Don't worry, Xiaojin is a 'hard city fruit' person, and his favorite bird food and dozens of different snacks exist in his body."

   "Huh? Bird, Fortress Fruit?" Hope said in disbelief.

   "Yes, although the situation is relatively rare, animals can also become Devil Fruits, and Xiaojin is the golden bird that ate the 'Fortress Fruit' by mistake." Yan explained.

   Of course, in fact, the reason why Xiaojin became a capable person is that Yon forcibly fed the 'Fortress Fruit' to Xiaojin.

   And when feeding, Kim showed a strong will to refuse, as if he knew Ion was feeding him Ollie.

   But there is nothing Ion can do to do this. After all, the Devil Fruit Ion eats will be transformed into the "Void Soul Chopping Knife", and there is no way for him to become a Devil Fruit ability.

   And there is no one who is completely trustworthy by Yon's side.

   After thinking for a while, Ion thought of Chopper, who ate the Devil Fruit by mistake as an animal, and the Sky Point bird that ate the Horse Fruit.

   After eating the Devil Fruit, both of them showed extremely high intelligence, and even Chopper was proficient in medicine.
