Naval Headquarter, Marineford
"Jewelry Ginny, from South Blue, 19 years old, good at shooting."
"Bartholomew Kuma, born in South Blue, 16 years old, user of the Paramecia Paw-Paw Fruit."
"Carl, born in South Blue, 15 years old, a user with the Logia -Dark-Dark Fruit ability."
At the Marine Recruitment Department, the interviewer stared at Carl and the three people in front of him in stunned silence, and then looked down at the three resumes placed on the table. His eyes finally stopped at the line of small words on Carl's resume, "Logia Dark-Dark Fruit!"
Babs, a Rear Admiral, stood aside, also looking shocked.
He had already guessed that Carl had Devil Fruit power, but he really didn't expect that Carl's Devil Fruit would be a Logia!
He could understand the strength of the Logia Devil Fruit, because now there are two such Logia monsters among the new recruits brought by Zephyr Instructor!
Magma-Magma Fruit and Glint-Glint Fruit, Babs had seen these two ability users take action. To sum it up in one sentence, it was like watching a natural disaster!
Fortunately, the current instructor is the former Admiral Zephyr. An ordinary instructor would not even be able to suppress these two Logia ability users.
The Admirals have Armament Haki, which can deal with Logia's elementalization, but the lethality of the two elements of magma and glint is truly terrifying!
To this day, Babs still remembers seeing with his own eyes a Marine Rear Admiral who was almost at the same level as him, being teased by the Glint-Glint Fruit ability user. Even with Observation Haki, it was difficult to touch the hem of that ability user's clothes.
As for the Magma-Magma Fruit ability user, needless to say, it's not that the Marine Rear Admiral couldn't touch him, but that he didn't dare to touch him at all!
The boiling magma is enough for the Marine Rear Admiral to be in serious trouble if it touches him.
The "Iron Body" they are so proud of is a complete joke in front of magma!
Since then, Babs has known that there are definitely grades of Devil Fruit. At least in his eyes now, Logia Devil Fruits are noble!
Moreover, Carl's Logia Devil Fruit is a dark element opposite to light. Just thinking about it, you know that this Dark Fruit is definitely a top-quality Logia that is not weaker than those two fruits!
Babs' body began to tremble with excitement.
He actually brought back such a monster to the Marines! No, a genius!
The interviewer also swallowed his saliva. He didn't know whether he was stunned or something, but he unexpectedly said to Carl,
"15 years old? You are a bit young. This does not meet our recruitment requirements..."
As he spoke, he looked doubtfully at Carl's height of almost two meters in front of him, and thought,
"Is he really 15?"
Carl was also stunned. Just as he was about to explain, Babs suddenly got violent and directly pressed the interviewer's head on the table.
"Uh-huh! (Babs, what are you doing?!)"
The interviewer struggled hard, and with a constipated smile on his face, Babs said to Carl and the other two with a smile,
"Great, I think these three talents are born to join the Marines!"
In the surprised gazes of Carl and the other two, Babs's hands turned into afterimages, and he grabbed the seal on the table and stamped it three times.
People who didn't know this showed that Carl and the other two signed a contract to sell themselves.
When the interviewer raised his head, Babs had already grabbed three resumes and said,
"You have passed. I will report to Admiral Sengoku later, and then the headquarters will arrange a place for you. You can rest for a few days, and then you can report to the Marine Academy with these three resumes!"
Carl glanced at the red seal on his resume and said,
"Then let's go hang out first and come back here to wait for you later?"
"Of course! But don't go too far. After all, you haven't officially joined the Marines yet."
"OK."
After Carl and the other two left, Babs took the three resumes in his hands and looked at them carefully. He also kissed Carl's one fiercely, making the interviewer next to him feel chilled.
He rubbed his red forehead and said with dissatisfaction,
"Hey Babs! You're going too far. Even if you ignore Carl's age, have you investigated the backgrounds of the three of them? You only know that they are from South Blue?"
Babs glanced sideways at him and muttered,
"Don't worry about it for now. This is a Logia. Do you understand the value of Logia? Hey, here is a user with Paramecia's ability."
"Tch! Look at your virtues. That girl named Ginny is not bad either. She looks heroic. I think few of the girls who came for interviews before had this feeling."
"That's alright! We at Marine want to welcome talents like this to join us! There's nothing wrong with what I'm doing!"
Looking at Babs who was in a state of madness, the interviewer nodded helplessly and said feebly,
"Okay, okay, aren't you going to report to Admiral Sengoku? By the way, show him these three resumes. Hey! We didn't even check the background. We are still too hasty in doing this!"
"Well, I will report this matter to Admiral Sengoku truthfully, and I believe Admiral Sengoku will definitely support my approach!"
Babs carefully stuffed Carl's resume into his arms and strode away.
On the way, Babs' excitement gradually calmed down, and he began to think seriously about this trip to the Sorbet Kingdom.
Background investigation is indeed very important, especially for Carl. With Spandam as a backdrop, Carl's background becomes even more mysterious.
However, no matter how much he thought about it, he could not have imagined that Carl would be a Celestial Dragon.
The most he could guess was that Carl was the illegitimate son of a senior executive in the World Government, and was placed in the Sorbet Kingdom for some shady reasons.
Growing up in such a remote country.
When the time comes, he will make arrangements to pave the way for his child. He has not heard of this kind of operation.
Pouring his lips, Babs felt that this little thing was nothing compared to the Logia Dark-Dark Fruit!
Thinking of this, Babs quickened his steps and soon arrived in front of Sengoku's office and knocked gently on the office door.
"Admiral Sengoku, I am Babs."
"Come in."
In the office, Sengoku was holding a document that had just been sent from the World Government and muttered to himself,
"It's strange how the Kingdom of Sorbet suddenly changed its king, and he didn't even mention the missing king Bekori..."
Looking up and seeing Babs walking in, Sengoku waved and asked,
"Babs, you've just come back. Tell me what's going on in the Sorbet Kingdom? Have you found King Bekori?"
