From the first time he heard the term Devil Fruit, Yarlin was full of curiosity and coveted this magical fruit.
In fact, Yarlin had been preparing for a long time. He had passed through nearly 20 Devil Fruits, among which there was no lack of powerful and strange fruits. However, the picky Yarlin was not completely satisfied.
This was also because with the improvement of the broodmother, his own strength and influence expanded, and his vision also increased. After encountering a good Devil Fruit, he always felt that he would encounter more powerful fruits in the future, so he had not made a hasty decision.
After all, the general rule of this world was that a person could only swallow one Devil Fruit.
In the beginning, Yarlin felt that Logia was the most powerful. The characteristic of being able to elementalize was simply a bug. However, after the broodmother's path to the army, she had a certain "immortality" characteristic. The body that Yarlin reconstructed after his death was also out of the human category.
The body constructed by the Yin Marks and Black Lines could be said to be infinitely close to elementalization, so the attraction of Logia was not as strong.
On the contrary, some of the Paramecia Devil Fruits looked ordinary, but the abilities they developed were extremely strange and tyrannical. For example, Gana who manipulated mirrors, Dalaran who manipulated blood, Luca who came later, and Shiki's Fluttering Fruit.
In Yarlin's heart, they were all considered as his choices, but in the end, they were all rejected by him.
"These are not what I want. What I really want is that fruit. If I'm not wrong, that fruit is not what the illustration of the Devil Fruit describes, because the true attribute of that fruit is likely to be …" Yarlin licked his lips and called the broodmother's real name in his heart. "Asturias, are you sure you're not wrong? You know, in order to wait for the whereabouts of that fruit, I gave up several Devil Fruits!"
In his deep consciousness, a voice faintly sounded, "Every time the broodmother draws a Devil Fruit, she will have a deeper understanding of the rules and structure of the Devil Fruit. If the description in the Devil Fruit Illustration is true, then the rules and attributes revealed by the fruit are what we need the most!"
"Our judgment will not be wrong. What that fruit has is a crucial piece of the puzzle on our path of advancement." Astu's voice showed rare emotional fluctuations. "Have you found it?"
"The seed nailed into the soil will germinate sooner or later, and then one day, it will bear the fruit we want!" Ya Erlin licked his moist lips and chuckled, "Soon. Faulkner has already found some clues. He'll send back more accurate information soon."
… …
Marine Headquarters, Intelligence Department.
In a slightly cramped office near the inside, Faulkner, who had recently cracked several intelligence reports and ferociously uncovered a group of spies planted by the Revolutionary Army from the headquarters, looked at himself in the mirror. His wrinkles seemed to have stretched out, and he seemed to have become a dozen years younger.
The purple medal pinned to his chest is the recognition of the department. Although the honor is greater than the actual value, it also means the promotion of his status in the intelligence department.
And the promotion of his status in the intelligence department also means that his status in the spy organization of the World Government, Cp6, has also risen.
The rise in status also means more authority and freedom, and access to more secrets … Faulkner stared at the thick walls of the office and grinned disdainfully. These walls may be able to block the peeping eyes, but it is difficult to block him from hearing the inner voice of everyone in the intelligence department.
Noisy, chaotic, abusive, hysterical … All the valuable and worthless information, as long as Faulkner is willing, no information in the entire intelligence department can escape his ears.
Confidential intelligence, conspiracies, spies' connections, the promises and betrayals of big shots, and even the sounds of a man and a woman's secret rendezvous were all sketched out in his mind.
"Screening out a few spies planted by the Revolutionary Army is just a small test. I can easily grasp the darkness and secrets hidden in everyone's heart. All these secrets will quietly fall into my hands, as long as I want …" Faulkner's heart was burning, he lit a cigarette and took a puff. "The entire intelligence department can be played by me, and I can become the most powerful person in the Marine Intelligence Department!"
Knock knock knock …
The sound of knocking on the door interrupted Faulkner's thoughts, Gilas pushed the door open and walked in, then carefully closed the door. "The latest news from the headquarters, the flying admiral Shiki …"
"He's dead, his body fell into the deep sea and is difficult to salvage. Only a broken rudder is left, and Sakazuki is about to return to its base. In addition, a strange plant toxin has been sent to the Marine Scientific Research Department." Faulkner interrupted Gilas.
"You know? I didn't see you go out, who told you?" Gilas was stunned. He took the cigarette from Faulkner and deliberately lowered his voice to ask, "And those spies of the revolutionary army, how did you find out about them? Damn it, how did I not suspect them at all?"
Gilas roared fiercely in his heart. "Faulkner secretly went to the East China Sea some time ago. During that time, Yarlin was also in the East China Sea. He must have gotten a Devil Fruit from Yarlin and used the ability of the Devil Fruit to do all this."
Faulkner listened to the words in Gilas's mouth and heart, a smile appeared on his face, and then he said faintly, "Gilas, you guessed it right. Yarlin kept his promise and sent me a Devil Fruit!"
"What ability?" Gilas asked.
Faulkner smiled without saying anything. The ability of the Devil Fruit was his biggest trump card, how could he tell others so easily?
"I was rude!" Gilas avoided Faulkner's gaze. He always felt that the other party's gaze could see through people's hearts, making him uncomfortable. He asked, "He didn't forget about my Devil Fruit, did he?"
"How can that be? You were the one who proposed this deal, I remember it very clearly." Faulkner comforted him. "Your Devil Fruit will be sent to you soon, but before that, there's something you need to do."
"What is it?"
"I've found some clues about the whereabouts of a Devil Fruit, but I'm not sure. I need you to confirm the authenticity of the information for me." Faulkner whispered a location and a person's name in Gilas's ear, and then said seriously, "Deal with this, and I'll help you urge Yarlin to send your Devil Fruit."
"Water Seven?" Gilas' eyes lit up and he smiled at Faulkner. "No problem, I'll go now!"
