Chapter 241: The Unicorn! Nurkic [Monthly Ticket Plus Update]
"Half a month's leave? What do you mean? Don't we have no tasks now? Why should we go?"
In a barbecue restaurant in Marin Fando, Nurkic, who suddenly came to him and invited him to dinner, was actually for the purpose of asking for half a month's leave. Skyler frowned, but the lower half of his face had a strange smile , said:
"Are you going on a blind date? Oh, at your age, it's time to think about marriage. How many do you plan to meet in half a month? Do you want me to use my relationship to find you a few more female soldiers?"
Looking at the gossiping officer, Nurkic shook his head helplessly, and said, "My mother made me work harder! No, the purpose of my leave is"
Nurkic hesitated to speak, and even clenched his fists, rubbing against his trousers, and then said: "My father has a devil fruit, and I plan to... plan to become a fruit capable person."
After Nurkic finished speaking, he looked at Skyler with a worried face. After all, there are actually many people who are very resistant to devil fruits and fruit-capable people, such as Zefa, and Skyler is Zefa's favorite student .
Therefore, Nurkic was quite afraid that Skyler would look down on him because he decided to become a fruit ability user, but Skyler was taken aback, then reached across the dining table and hammered Nurkic on the shoulder fist, said:
"I didn't see it, the family is so rich? What kind of fruit?"
Nurkic breathed a sigh of relief, and murmured, "I heard from my father that it is the phantom beast species of Niu Niu fruit, but it is also speculation, and there is no corresponding one in the navy's devil fruit illustration book."
"Phantom beast?"
Skyler was shocked. Even among the devil fruits, phantom beasts are the rarest existence, even rarer than natural fruits. Nurkic's family actually has one.
Skyler looked around and whispered, "By the way, who is your father?"
Nurkic scratched his head, showed a simple smile, and said: "My father is Lieutenant General Reed Lawrence, the former naval chief of staff, and he will be succeeded by Lieutenant General He when he retires."
Skyler's eyelids jumped wildly, and there was such a second generation hidden in his detachment. No, according to what Nurkic accidentally said before, it should be the fourth generation.
"From now on, you will call me Chief, and I will call you Brother!"
Although it was a joking tone, it also expressed Skyler's shock. Nurkic shook his head with a smile and said, "Sir, then I am on vacation."
"Brother! I approved your vacation, is half a month enough? If not, you just follow me directly. No, you can just take a rest. When you report, you can sell the vacation at any time!"
Skyler looked flattering, and Nurkic was embarrassed, because he knew that Skyler didn't need to be so polite at all, and Skyler's background was much tougher than his.
So Nurkic also jokingly said: "Sir, I still appreciate your rebellious appearance before."
"Huh? Ahahaha!"
After the two finished the barbecue, Nurkic returned home. Although he was a little shy to say it, he still lived in his father's house, which was very small compared to the house allocated by Marin Fando.
The Reed family bought a house in the town of Marlin Fand, and Nurkic could move to the house allocated by Marlin Fand, but... that small house couldn't even fit his books.
Back home, Nurkic went straight to his father's study. The father and son's study is separate. There are almost no books related to the navy in Lawrence's study, and some of them are all given to Nurkic.
In Lawrence's study, there are more miscellaneous books, without any professional tendency. After all, he is retired, so why read books that are useful to him? Having fun is the key.
Nurkic entered the study and found Lawrence smoking a cigarette by the window. The moment the door opened, the old navy, who was used to wind and waves, trembled all over, and put his right hand holding the cigarette behind his back.
Seeing that it was Nurkic, Law Wales breathed a sigh of relief, then glared at Nurkic, motioned him to close the door quickly, and then took another puff of cigarette.
"Dad, that, you told me that I want to eat the devil fruit that can be given to me anytime."
Nurkic walked in, and while talking, he observed Lawrence's expression. Lawrence was already an old man in his seventies. Like many admirals, he didn't start a family too early.
After the age of forty, I met Nurkic's mother, so the age gap between father and son is quite large, and because of his position, Nurkic's father in Nurkic's eyes is an extremely dignified and unambiguous man.
Of course, except in front of his mother, and what he said about quitting smoking in front of his mother.
Hearing his son's words, Lawrence took the last puff of his cigarette, lifted a tile on the window sill, threw the cigarette butt into the bucket hidden inside, and said back:
"It's over there, go get it yourself."
Lawrence didn't seem to take it seriously, and pointed to the cabinet beside him. Nurkic walked over, took out a box, walked to the desk, put it down, and opened it.
It was a devil fruit that looked like a pineapple. Looking at this fruit, Nurkic's heart was pounding, as if the fruit was tempting him, but he didn't eat it right away.
Seeing this, Lawrence walked over and said, "Do you know? This fruit has been preserved for many years. Do you know what I don't eat?"
"Didn't you say that devil fruit is more unpalatable than shit, so you don't eat it?"
Nurkic answered frankly, Lawrence choked, his old face blushed, and then said: "This is only one of the reasons, and the more important reason is... Do you think you are ready? Take up the responsibilities of our family!"
"Duty? Isn't our family's duty to join the Navy and fight for it until retirement?"
"Do you know the origin of our family's surname?"
Hearing this, Nurkic shook his head, Lawrence sighed, and said, "It's written in my suicide note, but you can't read it now, it's better to understand it later."
After speaking, Lawrence said, "Let's eat."
The second monk Nurkic was puzzled, but he still picked up the fruit. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Lawrence holding back his smile. Nurkic said uncertainly:
"Is it really bad? It won't expire~"
"So much nonsense!"
Lawrence raised his hand directly, and the fruit came into close contact with Nurkic's mouth. In the next second, Nurkic's face changed drastically, and he said, "It's so fucking unpalatable! Gulu~"
But Nurkic still swallowed a piece of pulp.
"Cough~cough~"
Nurkic coughed suddenly, and during the coughing, smoke continued to come out of his mouth and nose. The smoke had an aroma. After smelling it, Lawrence said:
"If I knew it earlier, I would eat it myself, and I don't need to be punished for smoking"
Lawrence's body suddenly became weak, and he couldn't even stand upright. He lay on the ground, and he felt drowsy. His eyelids gradually closed. In a daze, he seemed to see a horn growing out of his son's forehead.
"Hey~ Unicorn!"
