Dozens of female trainees were already waiting at the training ground.
I wonder if Gion considered appearance when selecting trainees, because almost none of the female trainees were ugly.
Moreover, despite training for so long, their skin showed no signs of tanning; they stood there looking dashing and pleasing to the eye.
Even among a group of beauties, Conis's looks are top-notch, and with her pair of pure white wings on her back, it's hard to ignore her.
At this moment, she looked very nervous, but her eyes also revealed a hint of anticipation.
After a short wait, Gion brought Senga here.
Upon seeing Senga, the female cadets immediately stirred. A large portion of them had joined the army because of Senga, so how could they not be excited to see Senga in person?
"Lord Senga!"
The female trainees shouted in unison, only Conis hesitated for a moment, then murmured something under her breath.
"Brother Senga..."
Senga's senses were incredibly sharp. He paused for a moment when he heard "Brother Senga," and then immediately spotted Conis in the crowd.
Conis's face lit up with joy when she met Senga's gaze, but she quickly lowered her head when she saw Gion beside Senga.
However, not only Senga, but even Gion noticed her little trick.
Gion gently nudged Senga's waist with her arm and whispered,
"Do you know that female student with wings on her back?"
Senga didn't mince words and nodded, saying...
"Yes, I know her. Her name is Conis, and she's from Skypieans."
Then, Senga briefly recounted what had happened on the Sky Island to Gion. After listening, Gion looked at Senga with a strange expression and said...
"You must have really captivated her, making her come all this way to join the navy!"
Senga smiled helplessly. He then remembered that as soon as he left, the Deva Path Puppet went into "standby" mode, which meant that it had suddenly lost contact with Conis.
Under these circumstances, her decision to join the navy is quite telling.
"Oh, my luck with romance..."
Senga sighed for a moment, then walked towards Conis in full view of everyone.
The students next to Conis became excited, all imagining that Senga was walking towards them.
However, Senga walked straight up to Conis, a warm smile on his face, and said...
"Long time no see, Conis."
Conis hadn't expected Senga to approach her directly in front of so many people. Overwhelmed with joy mixed with a little bit of grievance, she stood there stunned.
Senga held out his hand and waved it in front of her, saying,
"What's wrong? Are you angry because I suddenly disappeared for those two years?"
"No!"
Conis immediately snapped out of her daze. Senga had already done her a great favor by eliminating Enel and leaving behind a puppet to guard the Sky Island; how could she possibly be angry about something like this?
She quickly explained,
"Brother Senga, I was just a little too excited, I..."
At this point, Conis paused for a moment, then mustered her courage and began to speak.
I miss you so much!
The other trainees were stunned. Good heavens, someone with connections was standing right next to me?
No one expected that this quiet and gentle girl from the Sky Island would have a connection with the king, and judging from the situation, the connection is quite strong!
Then what kind of cadet are you here? With this connection, you should at least be a lieutenant commander to get into the navy!
Gion walked over and asked,
"Conis, why do you never mention that you know the King?"
Conis blushed and stammered,
"I'm afraid people won't believe me if I say it, and besides, Brother Senga is already a king, I don't feel qualified..."
Senga interrupted her directly.
"There's no such thing as being qualified or not. You can come see me anytime you want, you idiot."
The word "idiot" eased the distance between Conis considerably. She finally looked up into Senga's eyes and said softly,
"Thank you, Brother Senga!"
Senga smiled, leaned close to Conis's ear, and whispered something.
"Just come directly to my place after this is over."
Conis blushed even more, but she still nodded emphatically, her big eyes full of anticipation.
Senga was here to comfort the students, so he couldn't keep focusing his attention on Conis.
He appeared on the platform in a flash, casually taking out three Devil Fruits.
These three fruits were spoils of war he obtained from the battle on Sea Swallow Island. They are the Stone-Stone Fruit, the Ton-Ton Fruit, and the Art-Art Fruit. While these three fruits may not be considered top-tier, they are certainly not weak among Paramecia.
For most people, they might never see a Devil Fruit in their entire lives, let alone a powerful fruit that directly enhances their strength. As soon as the three Devil Fruit appeared, the eyes of the students below immediately lit up.
Senga released his grip, and three Devil Fruit floated in front of him, causing the female students below to scream in fright.
Gion sighed and rubbed her forehead. She began to doubt whether bringing Senga here was the right or wrong decision. The power of a die-hard fan was just too strong; she, the instructor, felt completely invisible.
Senga's gaze swept across the crowd, lingering on Conis for a few seconds before he spoke.
"These Devil Fruit were prepared for you by me. I'm giving them to your instructor, Gion, who will decide who gets them based on your performance."
These words immediately caused an uproar among the students. Three fruits in one go was an incredibly generous gesture that was unimaginable to them.
Senga reached out and pressed down, and the entire venue instantly fell silent again. Gion was amazed by this ability to control the situation.
Senga continued,
"Of course, if you don't want Devil Fruit or are already Ability User, you can also make a wish to me through Gion. As long as it's not too outrageous, I can grant it."
"Hiss..."
The trainees gasped in shock. Who didn't know that Wang possessed all sorts of abilities? It was said that his abilities were so outrageous that he could bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded.
This can be seen from the sudden appearance of Zephyr's family; his child himself said, "Brother Senga is the benefactor of their whole family!" A little thought reveals what's going on.
Everyone has lost loved ones, and for some, the allure of resurrecting a loved one is far greater than that of Devil Fruit.
It's safe to say that every reward is incredibly tempting!
