Chapter 129 Children, This Is the Real Sun God Fruit! Be Loyal to Me!
"Thanks to your promotion, I can get to where I am today..."
"Oh, Lord Luke, don't make me feel bad. What is CP0 in front of you?"
"If it weren't for you and Lord Rocinante, I might have died in the vortex of Marijoa..."
In the base director's office, Spandine nodded and bowed, with an extremely flattering expression on his face.
He kept saying disgusting words to Luke, narrating his loyalty.
And the interesting thing is that these words sounded greasy to outsiders, but Spandine's words came completely from his heart...
Spandine was originally barely a small leader of CP9.
Since meeting Luke...
Although he was beaten and frightened a lot, he also stabbed the Celestial Dragons with his own hands.
He committed an act that he thought was absolutely unforgivable in the past, and he would definitely die...
He also experienced the Marijoa riot.
As a member of the CP organization, his primary responsibility is to protect the Celestial Dragons.
In this turmoil, the number of Celestial Dragons who died could not be counted on one hand.
This was a matter of life and death. Being dragged out by the Five Elders and beheaded in the street was a light punishment!
But along the way, Spandine's status in Mary Geoise rose.
Seeing his colleagues being punished or killed, he remained as steady as a rock and even received praise from the Five Elders.
The reason was when Luke was talking to the Five Elders.
He mentioned Spandine's "contribution" in capturing Roger and fighting the Golden Lion.
And Rosinante's protection of him...
In addition, the Five Elders also needed to find a representative in the bad CP organization to prove that their management was not all bad, and there were still outstanding representatives...
For various reasons, Spandine took advantage of the situation and climbed to the position of senior commander of CP0.
This was a height he had never imagined he could reach...
Luke smiled at Spandine.
The reason why he is so respectful to Luke now is that Luke always helps Spandine when he is at a loss in the most difficult times.
But how did this difficulty come about? Don't ask too much or think too much!
In the original time and space, Spandine relied on his own ability to climb to this position more than 20 years later...
"Okay, we are all family, who are you flattering for?"
Luke casually threw a cigar to Spandine and pursed his lips: "Find a place to sit."
Spandine smiled happily, took it carefully, and took a puff happily.
"O'Hara, we can close the net now..."
"I disguised myself as a seeker of knowledge who is curious about the truth of history, and established a good relationship with an old professor on the island. I have now found out the number of people and distribution in their organization."
"I tell you, the so-called blank history they are studying will definitely be extremely feared by the Five Elders!"
"You really have great ambitions. Those scholars can even recognize fruits that are not recorded in the devil fruit illustrations..."
Spandine presented the beautifully packaged gift box to Luke like a treasure: "Look!"
"Human-Human Fruit·Mythical Beast Species·Shrine Fruit!"
"The ability is to collect faith to enhance oneself. I don't know more details yet, and the old man also has only a vague understanding..."
"But I think it suits you!" Spandine touched his head and smiled.
Luke's eyes lit up, and he picked up the pineapple with gold in the big red and looked at it.
Luke didn't expect Spandine to be so capable...
Give him a little pressure and an opportunity, and he actually did a good job?
Originally, it was just a casual thing, thinking of burying a useful nail in the Five Elders...
It has grown vigorously!
"The Five Elders will be very afraid..." Luke whispered Spandine's words, and nodded with satisfaction:
"Very good, it seems that you understand our position."
"This fruit, I am also very satisfied, you have made a great contribution!"
Luke chewed the mythical beast fruit with a clacking sound, and his brows slightly frowned.
This thing is really unpalatable...
And then, Luke carefully experienced the power of the fruit, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
After sharing with other Lukes last time.
The pirate Luke's physique has a small increase, but more of the increase in willpower has increased the magnitude and hardness of the three-color domineering.
The rest of the "strange skills and tricks" have been localized in the rules of the pirate world and turned into the ability slot of the third devil fruit.
Although the power has increased a lot after sharing, the growth rate has entered a plateau period...
Hard training is effective, but it is already a slow process and cannot achieve the rapid growth of the original novice welfare period.
Before Spandine came, Luke was still thinking about which fruit to eat to get himself back on the fast track to becoming stronger?
Not only must it be fast, but this road must go as far as possible...
After all, sharing is hard to say. It may happen twice a year or once every twenty years...
And this shrine fruit obviously meets Luke's requirements.
"Spandine, this fruit is not called the shrine fruit. You can call it the sun fruit or the loyalty fruit!" Luke's mouth curled up and laughed loudly.
The ability of this fruit is very interesting. Although it is a mythical beast, it has little effect on physical enhancement.
But the accompanying ability is far beyond most of the strange superhuman fruits...
The creatures touched by Luke will be marked as "potential fans".
If they have feelings of worship and loyalty towards Luke, they will be transformed into "fans", and provide Luke with digestible incense and willpower according to their own strength and loyalty.
After digestion, this incense and willpower can permanently provide the physique and domineering of the ability user!
Not only that, when the loyalty and worship of the "fans" reach a certain level, they will be transformed into "loyal fans".
When the "loyal fans" fight together, they can form a military formation for a short time, allowing them to unite and become a whole.
"Not only did it solve the problem of my cultivation limit, but it also solved a major problem in the pirate world..." Luke laughed out loud.
At his current point, he actually has no rivals in single combat, but the problem is that the trump card of the world government is extremely secretive.
Whether it is the secretive king or the weapon that can destroy a country with one blow, they are all what Luke fears.
It is not impossible for an admiral-level figure to destroy the surface of the island with one strike if he does his best.
But directly wiping out a country like destroying Alabasta is a far cry from that...
This is an objective fact.
And the mystery of Im also makes Luke feel that he can't act too hastily...
He has been hiding on Whitebeard's ship for more than ten years. Now he is a pirate and a navy man, and half of Marijoa are his people. Should he be impatient at this juncture?
Definitely not...
Although the pirate Luke has a fierce nature honed on the sea, he never flinched when fighting desperately.
But he prefers to play a foolproof crushing game.
"Sun Fruit? Loyalty Fruit?" Spandine had a question mark on his face. The natives naturally couldn't understand what Luke was saying:
"I have confirmed with that old man O'Hara that it should be called the Shrine Fruit..."
Luke patted Spandine's shoulder: "From now on, I will name this fruit!"
"The predecessor of this fruit failed to rule the world. It can only be said that he has no ability..."
Luke's eyes seemed to be burning with fire.
This is a godsend opportunity for him, a navy admiral.
Where else is it easier to raise a team that is extremely loyal to you than in the navy?
Not only that, Luke also has the title of the general manager of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He even has legitimate reasons to contact the pirates without being noticed by the World Government...
In an instant, many images flashed through Luke's mind.
How can these big-headed soldiers obey him and do it from the heart?
In Luke's opinion, his predecessors have already set an example for him, and they have done it well...
First, you have to grab a lot of money and resources in your hands, and then don't enjoy this glory alone, but spend it in large amounts!
After that, you have to get rid of the bad habit of your brothers who only want to drink soup but not eat meat, and you can eat lobsters to be full!
When you go out to work, you have to give out big red envelopes, so that when you return to the barracks and see Bailey, who is taller than the pillow, the big-headed soldiers will feel guilty and voluntarily work overtime...
If possible, find a slogan with a legitimate reason, then all the elements will be full!
"If you name it, of course there is no problem!" Spandine responded without any pretense.
Although Luke was cruel to him in the early stage and asked him to do things that were full of dangers...
But afterwards, this big brother was really reliable. He called the Five Elders directly to name a guarantor, and Rosinante backed him up...
He was also very casual when talking to him. Most of the time, Spandine was flattering the Celestial Dragons, and Luke never asked for it.
In the ten years he spent with the Celestial Dragons, he was often used as a human chair and beaten for no reason.
Spandine had never imagined that Luke would throw a cigar to him when he saw him...
"Let me try my ability?" Luke raised his eyebrows and stretched out his hand to Spandine.
Spandine rushed over and held Luke's hand tightly.
At this moment, the ability was activated.
Luke saw a very vague "qi" that linked him and Spandine together.
"You are so loyal, kid!"
Luke laughed: "Tell me, you did a good job this time, what do you want me to do for you?"
From the feedback of the fruit, Spandine has undoubtedly entered the ranks of "loyal supporters".
It's just that his strength is too weak, and the improvement for Luke is not obvious.
But it doesn't matter, as long as Luke has enough physical strength, there is no limit to the number of times he can release it!
In Luke's opinion, this may also be one of the abilities that the previous ability user failed to successfully make a name for himself...
Not only does it require the ability to pull up a team, but the ability user must also have sufficient physical strength so that he will not be exhausted after using it a few times.
Using it once or twice a day, it only adds up to 500 to 600 times a year, and less than 10,000 people in ten years...
This scale is not as good as a decent pirate group!
"What can you do for me? Oh, this is difficult for me! You should be very busy normally..." Spandine smiled awkwardly.
Luke kicked his calf, waved the lit cigar in his hand, and exhaled a long puff of smoke: "What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat!"
"I won't deny that I didn't treat you as my own at first, but in the past one or two years, you have done a great job!"
"I will protect you, put aside the inner conflict and anxiety in your heart, and enjoy life..."

"It's not presumptuous to call me big brother or boss."
For a moment, Spangdine felt a burst of heat flowing through his heart, and his eyes were a little sore.
Even after spending so many years in Marie Joa, I know that words should not be taken lightly...
But who is Luke?
Since his debut, he has defeated Roger and Golden Lion, and conquered Barrett and Marco!
A man who doesn't show any pretense in the face of the Five Old Stars, and has a reputation as a devil in the Navy Headquarters!
To be able to say such personal words to him, in Spangdyne's opinion, can only be done sincerely...
"Brother..."
Spangdine shouted tentatively, and after realizing that Luke was still smiling with encouraging eyes, his tone became a little choked.
"I don't have any other ideas, except that I have a son named Spandam who doesn't live up to expectations."
"Can you arrange a job for him? He is really ignorant, and I dote on him, hey!"
"I originally wanted to send him to the CP organization, but as you know, brother, that place is full of goons and thugs, and you can't learn real things or skills..."
Luke waved his hand: "Okay, no need to say anything!"
"How about sending him to me as an adjutant's secretary?"
"I am going to distribute benefits to the sailors on a large scale, and I have to have someone to supervise and implement them..."
Spandam was so excited that he couldn't help himself:
"That's great! Don't worry, I will definitely educate this brat hard when I go back, and I won't let him hold you back, so that you can shine in your workplace!"
There is simply no better position than being around a leader...
At this moment, Spandam was even a little jealous of Spandam.
Damn brat, he has such a good father, and his starting point is so high that I even envy him!
He started messing with General Luke!
"Don't touch O'Hara's group of scholars yet..."
"After I conquer Wano Country, I will settle them all there, whether they are willing or not!"
Spangdain nodded understandingly, and then his eyes lit up.
"Brother, are we going to attack Wano Country?"
"Of course, this place has the processing technology of sea floor stone and the ability to interpret historical texts..."
Luke sneered:
"If it weren't for the natural dangers of the terrain, the difficulty of passing by the large army and the fact that we were in a new world, there were too many pirates around, and the management costs were too high, the world government would have forcibly destroyed this place..."
"The generals can win, but they can't form effective management. After all, the grassroots people can't get through it."
"You can't kill a general for the sake of a peaceful country, right?"
Spangdine nodded, agreeing with Luke's statement.
Although the country of Wano is a piece of gold, the gold is in a pirate den and is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the World Government has nothing to do.
"Then how do we..."
Before Spangdain finished speaking, his eyes suddenly lit up.
What does terrain mean to Luke today?
Luke is a user with the Piao Piao Fruit ability, and he is already known as the "Flying Devil" on the sea.
"It's good to understand..."
"Tell your son to learn how to settle accounts and send him to me. Then he and Rosinandi will go to find the Capital of Seven Waters."
"Integrate all the shipbuilding companies there, remember to inject legal capital into me and have a correct attitude!"
"One of them, Tom, once built a boat for Roger. The CP organization will probably keep an eye on him and save him for me."
Spangdine didn't know when he took out a small notebook and quickly wrote down Luke's order.
Then, before Luke could say anything, he repeated it.
"I really like you more and more, Spangdine..."
Luke was stunned for a moment, patted him on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Although we have power and people, Mary Joa's job is still dangerous."
"You have to be careful, don't let me die inexplicably, you know?"
"If something happens, call me."
Having a meticulous person under your control means you can really worry less about doing things, and the experience will be much better...
Maybe this is the reason why Spandaine can climb to CP0 step by step in the original time and space even though he has no fighting power?
The corners of Spangdain's mouth raised uncontrollably: "I understand, brother!"
Wait until he leaves.
Luke picked up the phone bug and called Whitebeard first.
"Dad, are you busy?"
"It's okay. I want to ask you how you are doing. By the way, don't mail the treasures you recently collected to your hometown. Give them to me!"
"I want some gold coins and affordable supplies. I can use them!"
"What for? Don't ask, it's used to overthrow the World Government anyway!"
Whitebeard was stunned for a while.
This kid's filial piety really makes him proud. As a pirate, he seems to live the same life as a navy marshal...
All kinds of medicines and fine wines marked as special supplies for admirals, marshals, and even Marie-Joya were poured out endlessly...
It has to be said that although the middle-aged Whitebeard is still extremely brave, he has a lot of hidden wounds in his body, which are only suppressed by his strong physique and are not exposed externally.
After receiving all kinds of supplies sent by Luke, all kinds of hidden diseases were swept away, and he became extremely powerful!
And then again…
When Luke asked for money, he was very honest and rude, and he would empty his coffers as soon as he opened his mouth!
Even in the name of overthrowing the Celestial Dragons, Whitebeard couldn't refuse...
"I got it, brat!"
Whitebeard snorted: "Just wait, just send it to your base, right?"
"Yes, as for your hometown, don't worry..." Luke said:
"I will send people there in two days to station them regularly, and recruit some private soldiers, and order will be rebuilt there."
Whitebeard's hometown became a lawless place because he couldn't pay the Tianshangjin, so pirates and human traffickers were rampant.
As a pirate, Whitebeard couldn't send people to station them to form regular management.
Although the Whitebeard Pirates have a large territory, it is far behind the Ten Thousand Nations established by Charlotte Linlin.
Charlotte Linlin's Ten Thousand Nations has the shadow of a country, and can extract resources from it. Although it requires people to provide life as a price...But at least a kind of order has been established, not in disorder.
And Whitebeard just put a flag there, with more symbolic significance than practical significance.
So no matter how much money is sent, it cannot bring the order and stability that the people need most, it can only make the economy a little better...
It cannot solve the source of the problem.
"Will this work? Will it really work?" Whitebeard asked repeatedly, his voice unable to hide his excitement.
He has given all his treasures to his hometown for so many years, isn't it just for this little sentiment in his heart?
If Luke can really handle this problem, Whitebeard feels that he will sleep much sweeter every day in the future...
"Transfer money and do things!" Luke hung up the phone.
His eyes turned, thinking about the candidates who can explode gold coins.
"Hey, Aokiji? This is Luke. Do you want to be promoted to an admiral?"
"It can be done. It's easy! It just requires some Bailey. I can help you with the operation, but you have to pay for it yourself..."
"Hey, what does this have to do with justice? Can't a man like you who is burning with passion and ascending to a high position better practice justice?"
"It's all for nothing, buddy. It's nothing to lose some face and find someone for you. Don't thank me!"
After fooling the young boy Aokiji, Luke called Zefa's Den Den Mushi.
Teacher Zefa...
Whitebeard has exploded with gold coins. As my mentor, you should also have some!
