Chapter 216 The Five Elders and Sengoku's Plan
Babanuki, formerly a member of the Time-Space Beasts Pirates, is the warden of the Udon Prison Quarry and a user of the artificial Devil Fruit, Elephant Form.
His performance in the original timeline was quite good; he was considered one of the more outstanding lower-ranking officers in the original timeline of the Beast Pirates.
In this life, he doesn't need to eat the flawed SMILE fruit; he can directly eat the more complete and powerful Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit.
Kaido, high above, looked down at him as he transformed into a giant saber-toothed elephant, and felt a slight sense of anticipation for his future.
When Babanuki returned to the team, it was finally the turn of the last newly promoted executive, who was also the smallest member of the eight, to step forward and choose a Devil Fruit.
His name is Nemo, he is 1.5 meters tall, and he is 16 years old.
He was one of the children Kaido rescued from the underground labyrinth of Cherry Island; he was only 12 years old at the time.
After being rescued by the Beasts Pirates, he did not enter the orphanage set up by the Beasts like other children and live the life of an ordinary person.
Instead, he persisted and insisted on joining the Beasts Pirates.
Kaido was unaware of this matter.
After all, the pirate crew had grown quite large by then, and Nemo didn't dare to directly ask Kaido for help.
The person he kept asking for help was Sonny, who, although not officially the head butler at the time, was in fact the head butler.
Seeing his unwavering determination, and considering that the other children needed a protector, Sonny took him in as his godson and secretly taught him.
When Kaido learned of this, Nemo had already been Sunny's adopted son for about a week.
Kaido asked Sunny at the time whether he wanted Nemo to become one of the trainees.
Sunny rejected Kaido's offer.
Sunny's original words at the time were: "If just anyone who begs me for help is qualified to become an intern, then our pirate crew's interns are far too cheap."
After all, the interns Kaido mentioned, although called interns, were actually all being trained as reserve officers.
If there are no requirements to become an intern, it will not only cause a sudden surge in the number of applicants, but also cause those who do not become interns to complain.
Therefore, at Sunny's insistence, Nemo became one of the few menial workers on the Beasts Pirates' ship.
Their treatment is the worst among all the Beast Pirates.
Aside from the privilege of being able to go to the final battle alongside the logistics team thanks to Sunny's help, he was the lowest-ranking member of the entire Beasts Pirates.
And so, he worked odd jobs on the ship for three whole years.
Until the beginning of this year, when Kaido was preparing to march into the New World, he was promoted to a front-line combatant at the age of 15.
Because he was injected with a growth-inhibiting drug in the underground labyrinth in his early years in order to serve a nobleman, his body is unlikely to grow as strong as a normal boy's.
Therefore, even as a combatant, he would find it difficult to carve out a bloody path with his strength like other pirates.
However, if strength is insufficient, wisdom can.
In Kaido's advance into the New World, his conquest of numerous islands, and his conflicts with other pirates, artillery battles were actually the true protagonists.
Knowing his physical disadvantages, Nemo developed expertise in artillery and artillery command.
With this talent, he first transitioned from an ordinary combatant to an artilleryman, and then rose from an ordinary artilleryman to the captain of a small naval gun corps.
Subsequently, under his command, this naval gun corps repeatedly fired crucial shots.
It was precisely because of his achievements in the artillery battle that he accumulated enough military merits to be promoted to officer in just one year.
Nemo took a deep breath, his frail body slender.
His gaze swept over his team members in the audience, and he gave them an affirmative nod.
Then, he stepped forward and reached out to grab the fruit of the Ancient Species Giant Pulse Dragonfly.
The giant dragonfly not only possesses a rare ability to fly over the ocean, but also has eyes that can see a 360-degree field of vision.
The former was for self-preservation, while the latter was to help him observe the entire battle situation.
As a man who is not known for his physical strength, he is determined to grow to another peak by focusing on commanding routes.
"Nemo! Nemo!!"
Below the arena, pirates who were familiar with Nemo cheered loudly.
They are also pirates who are not particularly skilled in close combat, relying mainly on firearms and cannons in battle.
Nemo's promotion to cadre status proves that their upward mobility has not been cut off.
As long as they kill enough enemies with guns and sink enough ships with cannons, they can become executives of a pirate crew just like Nemo.
“┗|艹皿艹|┛嗷！！”
“┗|艹皿艹|┛嗷！！”
“┗|艹皿艹|┛嗷！！”
All eight newly promoted officers received Devil Fruits of at least Ancient Zoan level, prompting nearly 1 Beast Pirates to cheer enthusiastically.
Kaido waited until they had vented some of their emotions before raising his hand to press down again.
"New cadres have emerged, and the former cadres have accumulated enough merits; they deserve commendation and promotion!"
Kaido, holding a microphone, called out in a deep voice, "Fioro! Might! Agriya! Endeavor! All four of you, come forward!!"
The eight new cadres who had already reaped the rewards tactfully stepped down from the stage.
The four new cadres, whose names had just been called, stepped onto the stage.
With a wave of his hand, Kaido summoned four captain uniforms with the Beasts Pirates' insignia embroidered on the back, which appeared from the void and slowly descended in front of Fioro and his companions, supported by a cloud of flames.
"After a year of fighting, you have proven your ability to stand on your own."
"Therefore, from today onwards, you will be promoted from ordinary cadres to captain-level cadres!!"
"Every captain-level officer is qualified to be assigned a main warship with 2000 combat personnel!"
"You will be the captains of this warship!"
"Possessing the qualifications to independently command combat operations!!"
Upon hearing Kaido's words, the eyes of the four veteran members of the pirate crew instantly turned fiery.
The pirates below the stage were even more excited than before.
Cheers and shouts rose and fell.
When Kaido bestowed the captain's coats upon the four captains, the atmosphere reached another climax.
Four cadres, wearing overcoats, simultaneously raised their right fists.
The lighting technician very tactfully gave each of them a spotlight at that moment.
He stood in the center of a crowd of thousands, the center of attention.
The brilliance of the four executives at that moment made every pirate in the Beasts Pirates envious.
Carter Lowe stood below the stage, watching the radiant and beautiful figure on it.
"The distance between you and me has widened once again..."
"But I won't give up!"
"One day, I will catch up with you!"
"And let you lean on my shoulder!!"
"I can do it!!"
