  Seeing Smoker's palm, Mantis felt a sudden feeling in his heart and had a bad premonition.

  But he is also a veteran who has followed Garp for many years.

  Although his military rank is not high, he has experienced many battles and has seen many strange abilities.

  Upon seeing Smoker's movement, he quickly fpped his wings and flew back.

  No matter what your abilities are, it’s always right to distance yourself!

  But Smoker's palm was always fag Mantis, and a powerful su force suddenly burst out.

  After years of training, Smoker's development of the Dark Fruit has already surpassed that of Bckbeard, and the gravity he releases is also very trated.

  The people close at hand didn't feel anything at all.

  But Mantis felt his body stiffen and ulled away by a huge and irresistible su force.

  "Damn, what kind of ability is this?!"

  Mantis' plexion ged drastically, and he quickly fpped his wings and struggled desperately.

  But the dark fruit is said to have infinite gravity.

  In the inal plot, even when Whitebeard fell into darkness, he did not directly fight gravity, but attacked Bckbeard to escape trol.

  At this time, Mantis was even more irresistible.

  It's not like he resist.

  For a moment, he was like an irapped in a spider's web, uo break free no matter what, and could only be pulled through.

  And the closer you get to Smoker, the more powerful and suffog the gravitational force is!

  A few seds ter, Mantis ulled in front of Smoker.

  But for him, it was enough to terattack!

  "Be careful!!"

  Mantis raised his bde foot and sshed at Smoker.

  If it were against an enemy, it would definitely be aimed at the neck.

  But after all, it was just a sparring match. Mantis turned his bde and sshed at Smoker's outstretched arm.

  Mantis' response was so effective that even Garp couldn't fault it.

  When faced with unclear abilities, directly attag the ability user is the best option.

  Faced with the bde-foot attack, Smoker reached out to grab it without dodging.

  "not good!"

  Garp frowned and suddenly burst out with momentum, causing his cloak to automatically move without wind.

  No warp was anxious.

  Judging from the performance of the two just now, Smoker, who has not mastered the iron blod armed color domineering, 't stop Mantis' attack at all.

  Mantis held back his strength and was fine.

  If he sshed with all his strength, Smht not be able to save his hand.

  I really wao try Smoker's strength, but I hought about letting him lose his hands a!

  “What a disaster, I ’t hold back my energy!!”

  Mantis's eyes widened, and Bdefoot sshed at Smoker with a sound that broke through the air.

  With his strength, the power of this strike is not weaker than the sword master's ssh.

  But the moment, a jaw-dropping se appeared.

  A yer of darkness appeared on Smoker's arms, like bck arm guards.

  The moment Mantis was exposed to darkness, the power of the Mantis Fruit suddenly disappeared, and he instantly became an ordinary person.

  The chopping bde-like bde turned into an ordinary arm and was easily blocked by Smoker.

  (he Darkness Fruit release the ability state. When Luffy, who ehe sed gear state in the impel city, was caught by Bckbeard, he instantly returo his normal state. When Bckbeard let go, he returo the sed gear state.)

  "What's going on?!"

  Mantis's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.

  I wao put away my ability just now, but I couldn't rea time.

  Why did it suddenly ge back? !

  Garp breathed a sigh of relief.

  Just now he couldn't help but take a, but something like this happened.

  Then came the surprise.

  Mantis guy...reacted so quickly? !

  Has his trol over his abilities reached this point? !

  Smoker smiled slightly and grabbed Mantis' arm with his bad.

  "el Mantis, the battle is not over yet..."

  Then he punched him iomach.

  At this time, Mantis had no i armor to defend himself. He was beaten so hard that his whole body flew into the air and almost doubled over.

  Then Smoker sshed his neck with a palm knife, knog him unscious.

  "el!!"

  "Mantis...actually lost?!"

  The surrounding navy were whispering, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

  Smhe ents around him, and a dark substance like thick smoke suddenly appeared from his body.

  "Eh...what is this guy going to do?!!"

  "Is this his ability?! So weird!!"

  Dark matter ed in yers, ing Smoker into a bck co.

  After a while, the darkness dispersed, and Smoker's injuries had healed.

  Garp cpped his hands and walked fhing.

  "Pfft, hahaha, little Smog, I really belong to you! I didn't expect you to be able to defeat Mantis!"

  [Kuzan kid, you still have good taste, so I feel relieved...]

  "Someoake Mantis to the infirmary..."

  Sm Mantis and said nothing.

  Although he fainted, it was only a superficial injury and there was o use his powers.

  After all, healing others' injuries is time-ing and bor-intensive, and there are currently no pns to expose this ability.

  Garp looked at Smoker.

  Although his clothes were a little ragged, he looked intact.

  "e with me..."

  "The others dispersed, and by the way, remember to repair the deck before dark!"

  All the navy: "Huh?!!!"

  Without waiting for anyone else to object, Garp hurried away with Smoker.

  Ba the office, Garp sat down behind his desk, crossed his legs, poio the sofa o him, and said "sit" to Smoker.

  Smoker sat down obediently and looked curiously at the legendary naval hero's office.

  Sure enough, tea sets and snacks are all avaible.

  But there are no charts or files reted to work.

  Very Karp-esque.

  Bogart also followed, and sat on the sofa oher side without Karp's greeting.

  Although his face was expressionless and he looked cold and aloof,

  In fact, I am extremely curious about Smoker's fruit.

  Garp found a pack of sehrew a few pieces to the two of them like smoke, and then asked while eating.

  "Little Smog, your ability is really weird! What is it?!"

  The power of Devil Fruit depends rgely on its mystery.

  There are many people who have the ability to kill instantly at first sight and be instantly killed again, such as the lot of lolita that Usopp killed...

  As a person with abilities, he will do everything possible to cover up his abilities.

  At the extreme end, Corazon directly cealed the fact that he was an esper.

  Therefore, people like Luffy who introduce his abilities in battle are simply rare.

  This phenomenon is especially obvious on pirate ships.

  For pirates, betrayal is the norm.

  The partner behind the delivery today may be stabbed in the baorrow.

  So no one wants to expose their trump card.

  In the pirate group, many captains have little uanding of the abilities of their subordinates.

  But in the Navy, the situation is much better.

  Although there are some degees in the navy, most of them still bear the name of justice.

  Coupled with the straints of military discipline, mutual trust is still retively high.

  Therefore, in the navy, officers have a clearer uanding of the capabilities of their subordinates.

  Garp's behavior of directly asking about abilities is indeed a bit abrupt, but it is not uable in the Navy.

  sidering the differen status betweewo parties, it would not be sidered as humiliating Smoker.

  If it were anyone else, Smht still be wary.

  But the person in front of him was Garp.

  Although he is not serious on weekdays, his character is still very good, so there is o worry that he will betray himself.

  "My fruit is a natural dark fruit, which transform into darkness..."

  Smoker stopped hiding it and introduced his fruit ability...

  Of course, I only talked about basic attributes, such as infinite gravity, the ability to deprive fruits, etc.

  Even the side effect of doubling the pain was mentioned.

  After all, Garp had just witnessed his etle.

  Even if he didn't say it, he would definitely be able to guess it.

  Even if you 't guess it, you will know it sooner or ter as time goes by, so it's better to be more ho now.

  After listening to Smoker's introdu, Garp houghtfully and was amazed.

  "The ability to deprive other people of their fruits... What a powerful and weird ability!"

  "To a certaient, this ability is better than Armed Color Haki!"

  Bogart nodded in agreement.

  After all, in the face of some special abilities, although Armed Color Haki resist, there is no guarahat he will not be attacked.

  Judging from the effect, it is not even a little bit worse than the Dark Fruit.

  For example, sugar has the childlike fruit.

  Even a powerful Haki user like the Green Pepper of the e fell into her hands.

  This o be repced by the dark fruit,

  Feel free to touch it, if you move it I lose!

  Garp poured the whole bag of senbei into his mouth, drank another cup of tea, and then stood up with satisfa.

  "Okay, little Smog, I uand almost everything. You've worked hard too. Go bad rest early!"

  "But you have to remember that although the Dark Fruit is very powerful, your body is the foundation of everything!"

  "When you ehe elite navy expanded css, practice well with Zefa. Even though that old guy has something in his stomach!"

  Smave a standard military salute.

  "Thank you for your advice, Lieutenant General Garp! I'll take my leave now!"

  After saying that, he turned a.

  After Smoker left, Garp asked Bogart: "What do you think?"

  Bogart lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said calmly: "Both of them are fine, you rest assured!"

  Garp chuckled: "These brats are more careless tha!!"

  In the Navy, Vice Admirals have the authority to reend on many matters.

  For example, reend the branavy to join the headquarters, reend didates to ehe elite css,

  This is actually helping them develop their own team.

  Although the navy has marshals and generals, the number is limited after all.

  The lieutenant general is the bae.

  And each of them also has a retively fixed team.

  Ireme cases, it everansformed into an indepe force.

  But simirly, the people they reend also represent their owation.

  If the reended person is outstanding, it is naturally a matter of great honor.

  But if the person you reend is too bad, you will also be in disgrace.

  Kuzan has never used his reendatihts before, and Smoker is the first.

  Although it didn't cause an uproar iy, many people were paying attention.

  Kuzan is Garp’s little follower and his disciple.

  But Garp has always been very worried about him.

  Over the years, Garp has not cared about power, and he is always very carefree.

  There is indeed a reason why I don’t want to serve the Celestial Dragons.

  But it is not a kind of self-prote.

  After all, he has too many debuffs...

  He is powerful, has high prestige, has no loyalty to the Wover, and his son everayed the navy...

  Don't look at the wover praising him so highly.

  But what ambition, strategy, and wisdom did Karp show?

  The wover has no problem killing people.

  As for why they refuse to promote generals, they are just trying to show each other respect.

  If Garp really agrees to bee a general, the Wover will really have trouble sleeping aing.

  Therefarp has alresented himself as an old naughty boy, but he just doesn't want to involve too much right and wrong.

  But I never expected that,

  His little follower Qing Zhi actually imitated his own style and imitated him ten to ten.

  This gave Garp a headache!

  While the other lieutenant generals are w hard to cultivate their direct desdants, you are still here foolishly apanyio attack warships.

  Do I need your pany? !

  't you do something more bureaucratic? !

  Garp saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart,

  But it’s hard to say clearly, after all, it doesn’t fit my personality.

  After hinting several times, Kuzan didn’t uand the implication.

  Years passed in the blink of an eye, and I saw that this silly boy Kuzan had not made much progress.

  Garp had no choice but to accept the reality.

  Fet it, that's it, at least the strength hasn't dropped...

  But this time, Kuzan reeudents for the first time.

  This made Garp, who was still on vacation in the East Sea, overjoyed. The silly boy finally got the idea!

  But when he heard that Kuzan reended a young boy from the East Sea who had only met ond had just bee a private, he almost exploded.

  In desperation, he could only make a trip in person to try the quality of Smoker.

  If Smog behaves unsatisfactorily, Garp doesn't mind being a vilin and will never let him go to the headquarters to embarrass himself.

  Fortunately, the result is good,

  Garp is very satisfied with Smoker's strength.

  Putting aside the fruit ability, that skill alone is enough to pass the test!

  Not only that, this shows that Kuzan has a good vision.

  For naval generals, disc outstanding talents is also an indispensable ability.

  More importantly, whether Kuzan did it iionally or not,

  Finally started to train my own team...

  This is a crucial step for him! !

  Smoker walked on the boat.

  [It seems that I have passed the test of Lieutenant General Garp! 】

  In the inal plot, Smoker was reended by Kuzan to join the department a few years ter.

  All in all, he is Kuzan's most loyal fidant.

  It's just that Smoker himself is too disappointing.

  In terms of strength,

  Kong has the most powerful natural fruit, but he only knows how to use elemental transformation to destroy vegetables.

  Once you enter a domineering enemy, you will be defeated.

  In terms of status,

  Not to mention that.

  He didn't have Karp's life, but he got Karp's disease.

  First, because of his bad temper, he repeatedly offehe leadership, and was always wandering in Rogge Tow a Sea, uo provide help to Kuzan at all.

  After finally surviving the war at the top, I finally return to the ter.

  Knowing that the navy was severely short of manpower, he didn't want to help Kuzan, who was ag as the temporary marshal, to support the situation. All he could think about was chasing Luffy.

  Two years ter, I got my wish ao the G5 branch, but it was just a kind of assig...

  【I am... different now! 】
