"Not bad at all!" Leo circled the institute researching the other four Artificial Devil Fruits several times, then smiled at Chopper and the others.
It really was quite good. In an instant, he thought of several ways to use these Devil Fruits. After all, once one had a Devil Fruit, many things became much easier.
After all, not everyone could train to the point of awakening Haki.
Some people simply lacked the talent and could never cross the threshold into Haki in their entire lives, yet their individual abilities and loyalty were beyond doubt.
People like that could never have risen through the ranks in the old Marine era.
But within the Revolutionary Army, they could hold high positions, which left quite a few people dissatisfied.
In truth, that was extremely dangerous. If one lacked strength, then even within the Revolutionary Army, one was still in danger. If some disgruntled soldier let his stubborn temper flare up and beat you senseless, you would lose all face. Would you still be qualified to command an entire ship or fleet?
So, although the Revolutionary Army loathed this bad Marine habit, when they truly went to war and formed their own army, they still had no choice but to place the strongest people in high positions.
Fortunately, the Revolutionary Army used examinations to tightly restrict the promotion paths of these strong fighters, leaving them only one way to advance: the path of military merit through capturing pirates and defeating enemies. Otherwise, in a sense, the Revolutionary Army would not have been much different from the Marines.
But with these Devil Fruits, things would be different.
Armament Haki and Observation Haki, when combined, were extraordinarily effective against Logia Devil Fruits. One could even say they were the only means of attacking a Logia user.
