Mythical Zoan and Buster Call

The Devil Fruit in the box was purple and pineapple-shaped.

Victor had seen the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.

Therefore, he recognized this Devil Fruit.

It was the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Titan form!

Mythical Zoans were rarer than Logias!

Furthermore, Devil Fruits of the Zoan type housed a will.

Titans were the legendary Titan gods!

At this moment, the old man with straight white hair smiled as he looked at Victor, "It should suit your fighting style very well."

"Yes," Victor was very satisfied.

The old man with glasses said, "Eat it, and then use its power to your heart's content. While maintaining the World Government's authority, you can also obtain everything you desire."

"Mhm." Victor took a bite of the Devil Fruit in front of the Gorosei.

It tasted truly awful...

He almost spat it out when he swallowed the first bite.

However, after swallowing the Devil Fruit, a lot of information appeared in Victor's mind.

The Gorosei exchanged glances.

At this moment, it was just like that moment back then.

Their choice of Victor now was just like their past choice of Sengoku.

The Navy's new generation needed someone who was both wise and brave.

Victor was worth nurturing.

Moreover, the Gorosei believed Victor was controllable.

Because everything Victor desired, the World Government could grant him.

After Victor left the Chamber of Power, he encountered Kong in the corridor.

Kong was talking with an old man with a bald head.

Although the old man was elderly, his physique was still strong, and the epaulets on his military uniform revealed his identity.

The current Fleet Admiral, Glenn.

Glenn was 86 years old this year, considered quite elderly.

He had seen countless people; whether in terms of strategy or strength, he was a top figure of his era.

Glenn looked towards Victor.

Victor straightened his body and saluted Glenn, "Fleet Admiral."

"The first time I saw you, you were only this big."

Glenn gestured with his hand and then smiled at Victor.

"Alas, I never thought so many years would pass in the blink of an eye."

Glenn walked over to Victor and patted his shoulder, "Anderson would be proud of you, the youngest Rear Admiral in our Navy."

After speaking, Glenn entered the Chamber of Power.

"We're going to see the Gorosei, you can head back on your own."

Kong said to Victor.

Victor nodded and then left Mary Geoise.

Victor prepared to return to the New World.

He had now obtained even greater power.

In the world of the Pirate King, without the awakened ability of a Mythical Zoan, one could not engage in late-game peak duels.

Luffy's Nika form could restore his own state to full.

Kaido's awakened state was probably similar.

Because awakened Zoan abilities inherently possessed the ability to recover one's state.

Now, what Victor needed was military achievements, to be promoted to Marine Admiral.

He wanted to become the youngest Admiral in Navy history.

However, before Victor could return to the New World, Sengoku assigned him a new mission.

"Buster Call."

Victor received the Buster Call notification.

The target was a country called Rattal.

A Buster Call was a brutal attack that burned everything, composed of 10 battleships, 5 Vice Admirals, 10 Rear Admirals, and 10,000 elite Navy personnel.

This time, Victor was assigned to it.

There was also a plan to temper Victor.

If Victor performed poorly in this mission, it would affect his future.

Therefore, Victor naturally couldn't hold back.

The fleet assembled at Marineford, and the next day, the fleet left Marineford and sailed towards Rattal.

"Senior, who is our target this time?"

This was the first Buster Call for Wright and Connor.

Just hearing the name made them feel 'unyielding'.

A Buster Call must be to exterminate demons!

Of course, that's how one would interpret it from the literal meaning.

Victor looked at Wright, Connor, and the others and suddenly said seriously, "You must remember one thing."

Wright, Connor, and the others listened intently.

Victor said to Wright, Connor, and the others, "You are soldiers, and you must obey the orders of your superiors, anytime, anywhere."

"Yes!" Hearing Victor's words, Wright and Connor nodded.

"Remember this for the rest of your lives."

Victor said, patting the two on the shoulders.

The Kingdom of Rattal was a small island nation with a population of less than one million.

Although the country was small, it was once a member nation of the World Government.

Later, due to the depletion of resources on the island and the inability to pay the Celestial Gold, it was forgotten by the world.

However, such a forgotten small island nation was now facing utter destruction.

At this moment, ten warships were anchored off the coast of the Kingdom of Rattal.

Strangely, not a single ship could be seen from the Kingdom of Rattal.

Were there no ships coming here for trade?

The covers on the ship cannons were removed, and their muzzles were aimed at the towns on the island.

"Fire!"

Sengoku gave the order to fire.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Ten warships, hundreds of ship cannons fired in unison. The shells landed on the island, immediately igniting towering flames.

The shells landed within the town, destroying a house with a single shot.

The entire house was instantly engulfed in flames.

The residents inside didn't even have a chance to escape.

At this time, Wright, Connor, and the others observed the situation on the island with binoculars.

They saw the fleeing civilians on the town streets being blown to pieces one by one.

These civilians had one thing in common.

Their bodies were thin and weak, with festering skin, as if they had contracted some kind of disease.

"Senior, they don't look like pirates or villains."

Wright couldn't bear to watch anymore. He turned and asked Victor.

Victor, smoking a cigarette, said calmly, "Do you remember what I told you before?"

Wright nodded with difficulty.

Victor said, "We are soldiers, and a soldier's duty is to carry out orders."

Connor clenched his fists, his face full of confusion, "But why are we shelling civilians?"

Isn't the justice of the Navy to support the weak against the strong and punish evil?

Victor smiled and said, "Just carry out the orders."

"I..." Connor wanted to say something but stopped.

Victor smoked his cigarette, feeling that someone was watching him.

Was it someone sent by the Gorosei?

Were they testing his performance?

If so, then watch closely.

Absolute loyalty!

The shelling lasted for over an hour.

The entire island was burning, and the whole royal capital had turned into ruins.

With such dense artillery fire, how many survivors would be left in the royal capital?

At this moment, Sengoku's voice sounded over the ship's broadcast: "Prepare to land. Leave no one alive."

Victor looked at Eric, Kennard, Wright, Connor, and the others. "Once we land, leave no living soul behind, not even a single rat."

"Yes!" Eric, Kennard, and the others were deeply shocked.

However, this was an order, and it had to be carried out!
