One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 369 Unexpected Visitor 2

At that moment, Aini added, "If you're willing to join my ranks, I certainly won't treat you unfairly. I'll naturally find a way to greatly increase your children's strength. I wouldn't dare say I'd make them vice admirals, but colonels, or even commodores or rear admirals, that's no problem at all."

After all, there are things in this world that possess the magical effect of rapidly increasing one's strength. Upon hearing this, Don Achino's eyes lit up, as if he had discovered some treasure, and he blurted out, "A Devil Fruit?"

However, Aini did not answer his question directly, but only let out a soft laugh: "Hehe!" There seemed to be something unsettling in that laugh.

Don Achino immediately realized he might have been foolish, because Devil Fruits weren't something you could just obtain casually. They weren't only extremely rare, but also considered strategic resources by everyone. For the entire Navy, the value of a Devil Fruit was immeasurable; how could they possibly give it to his incompetent children?

Just as Don Achino was regretting his foolishness, Enni suddenly spoke up, "I really can't produce any Devil Fruits, and even if I did, I would never give them to you. However, I do have a way to get you ten or twenty artificial Devil Fruits."

"Artificial Devil Fruits?" Don Achino's eyes suddenly lit up, as if the suggestion had ignited a flame within him. His voice revealed obvious excitement and anticipation, clearly showing his keen interest in the topic.

After a brief pause, he quickly realized what was happening and immediately asked, "The kind of crew under Kaido from the Beasts Pirates?" His tone was urgent, as if he wanted to confirm the accuracy of this statement.

Don't underestimate the power of artificial Devil Fruits, even though they're on a completely different level compared to the Dragon Fruit. However, this doesn't mean they can be disregarded. The Beasts Pirates have a very tight organizational structure, including the Senior Members, combat members, True Fighters, and Gifters. And the True Fighters, as the elite among the Gifters, are not to be underestimated.

They are truly among the third tier of strong members of the Beasts Pirates. While such strong individuals might not be considered exceptional in the New World, they are definitely formidable in the first half of the Grand Line.

For example, the warden of the prisoner mining site possesses the artificial Devil Fruit power of an elephant; while the deputy warden, Davego, possesses the artificial Devil Fruit power of a scorpion.

Dopon, the second deputy warden of the prisoner quarry, possesses the power of an artificial Devil Fruit (Hippopotamus); while the third deputy warden, Solitia, possesses the power of an artificial Devil Fruit (Monkey).

Releasing these people would undoubtedly be a very good option.

At this moment, Aini noticed every change in Don Achino's expression. A slight smile played on Aini's lips, a secret delight in his heart, for he knew Don Achino had developed a strong interest in the proposal. If Don Achino was interested, it meant the matter was already halfway to success.

Immediately afterward, Aini added without hesitation, "Not only that, the Navy is currently conducting a global recruitment drive, with ranks determined entirely by merit. With your abilities, you could at least become an elite vice admiral at headquarters. This is even because there are no higher ranks available."

Furthermore, after your children consume the artificial Devil Fruits, their strength will undoubtedly increase dramatically. They will be fully capable of obtaining ranks such as lieutenant colonel, colonel, commodore, and even rear admiral. In that case, your family's territory can be converted into a naval branch.

The territory is still yours, but what you do has changed. You've shifted from stealing pirate flags to capturing pirates and protecting civilians. While you'll certainly receive less money than before, the power, status, and the guarantee of your family's inheritance that you gain are priceless.

These are things that Pele cannot buy.

Therefore, in my opinion, what you gain from joining the Navy far outweighs what you lose. Think it over carefully.” After saying this, Aini fell silent, giving Don Achino time to consider.

However, at that moment, a sudden burst of laughter came from outside the tavern. The laughter was like thunder, deafening, and drew everyone's attention to the door. Then, with a "bang," the tavern door was flung open, and a figure flashed into the room like a ghost.

The person who suddenly barged in was unusually tall, much taller than the average person. But his height wasn't just about his physical stature; what was even more striking were his unusually long legs. These legs made his body proportions appear somewhat odd, as if he were an elongated figure.

This guy's features were so distinctive that there was no doubt he was a member of the Long-Legged Tribe. He had a neat short haircut, wore a flashy shirt, and paired it with black shorts, looking quite fashionable. On his knees, he wore a pair of black knee pads with pink X marks, as if showing off his unique style to the world.

Not only that, his calves were also wrapped in bandages, giving the impression that he was frequently injured. But the most eye-catching feature was the wavy tattoo on his left thigh, which made him look even cooler and more unruly.

Aini had a strong impression of this person; he recognized him at a glance. Indeed, it was Blue Killie, a fighter renowned for his footwork. His kicks were lightning fast, capable of delivering three consecutive kicks in mid-air with astonishing power. Although Blue Killie wasn't particularly famous in the fighting world, his strength was not to be underestimated; he was definitely a formidable opponent.

Blue Gilly is a member of the XXX Gym Fighting Association, a combatant of the Ideo Pirates, and a crew member of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet. To help Luffy hold off pursuers, he fought against Dellinger, a Donquixote Family executive, on the third level of "King's Heights," but was ultimately defeated due to carelessness.

A fighter from Zone B of the Bullfighting Arena, after defeating the mysterious gladiator Ricky, turned his attention to attacking the strongmen recruited by Vasco da Gama. Although he was recruited by Vasco da Gama to fight against other opponents, he was still wary of Vasco da Gama. When he discovered that Vasco da Gama was trying to ambush him, he kicked him out of the arena. However, he was then knocked out of the arena by Elizabello II's "King's Fist" and eliminated.

After their defeat in Area B, they were thrown into an underground junkyard along with the other contestants and turned into toys by Sugar. After the success of "Operation SOP," they regained their human form and, to repay a debt, joined other arena powerhouses to help the Straw Hat crew fight against the Donquixote Family.

He is considered one of the more formidable members of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet in the original work.
