Military Hospital.

The cigar ash fell softly, and Darren exhaled a plume of smoke. He winked at the nurse who was changing his intravenous needle, causing her ears to flush slightly.

How did you get on with the things I asked you to do

The flying squirrel looked at the nurse and said slowly, after some thought:

"According to your orders, the cargo holds of the fleet warships executing the mission were filled with various types of fruits, but no particular changes were observed."

Darren frowned.

"Have you searched for the target island yet"

The flying squirrel nodded carefully.

"The past two days have been spent conducting a comprehensive search, but there have been no findings."

The island is located in a frigid climate, perpetually covered in snow and wind. Only a few hardy plants can survive there, making it completely uninhabitable for humans. There are almost no fruit-bearing plants to be found.

At this point, he paused, waiting until the young nurse with a bashful expression walked out of the ward before he cautiously lowered his voice and said:

"When the Warring States general's warships were replenishing supplies at Branch 321, I also went aboard to look for it, but I didn't find the thing you wanted..."

I have seen the logbooks from warships, their supply consumption records. Three days before the mission officially began, their fruit reserves were completely depleted.

Hearing the flying squirrel's words, Darren let out a soft sigh and fell silent for a moment before suddenly letting out a choked laugh.

"As expected, this isn't going to be easy…"

The flying squirrel pondered for a moment:

"Are you sure your thoughts are correct When a Devil Fruit user dies, the Devil Fruit will respawn on the nearest fruit to the user..."

"Such a thing has never been heard of on this vast sea."

Darren shook his head,

"No, that's just my guess, I'm not sure."

"Have you prepare the fruits ahead of time and conduct a large-scale search of the island in the aftermath...just a small experiment."

Now it seems this conjecture is probably not valid.

He naturally believes in the work ability of the flying squirrels.

After years of working together, Darren has proven himself capable and reliable. As long as it's his own order, no matter how outlandish it may seem, he will carry it out meticulously in the end.

If he says he can't find it, then it doesn't exist.

Thus, the deduction that "Devil Fruit abilities will be reborn on nearby fruit after the user dies" is overturned.

That makes sense.

As a traverser, Darren still had some understanding of the plot of pirates.

About the rebirth of the Devil Fruit, it appears three times in the original story.

First was Whitebeard's death at the Paramount War. Blackbeard used some kind of special method... it's very likely his Dark-Dark Fruit ability, to steal his Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

The second was Fire Fist Ace. Two years after the end of the Paramount War, his Mera Mera no Mi fell into Doflamingo's hands and was used by him as bait in the Colosseum.

And in the plot of Punk Hazard, the killing weapon slime created by the "evil scientist" Caesar Clown is made by using science to make these toxic gases eat the Devil Fruit and turn into a slug form.

After the slime died after eating the candy, a strange thing happened to one of the apples in a nearby basket. It gradually transformed into a Devil Fruit.

It was this very moment that led many One Piece fans to believe this was the Devil Fruit's resurrection mechanism.

So, this time for the expedition against Bundy Waldo, Darren was also taking a try-it-out attitude. He had the North Sea Fleet bring along quite a few fresh fruits.

After all, Bonnie Walford's Momo fruit is indeed very powerful. Even if she can't use it herself, giving it to her subordinates and building her own core team is also a good choice.

But now it seems that the Devil Fruit's regeneration mechanism might be more complex than I imagined.

However, this is completely understandable.

If the Devil Fruit's regeneration mechanism were really that simple, the World Government and the Marines would have discovered it long ago.

Besides, just among the prisoners held within the city walls, there are quite a few who possess Devil Fruit powers.

During the long history of the prison in Pentonville, there would have certainly been cases where prisoners died from torture, disease, brutality, heat, cold, or even natural aging.

According to Darren, supply ships specializing in food delivery come and go from the city of Promotion at regular intervals, delivering supplies to the workers, which naturally includes fruit.

The geographical environment of Pusheng City is unique, surrounded by the sea on all sides and enveloped by a windless sea area.

If a Devil Fruit user dies within Impel Down and there are fruits available inside Impel Down, then according to the Devil Fruit's "regeneration mechanism," the deceased ability user will inevitably be reborn within Impel Down with their possessed Devil Fruit.

For so many years, countless prisoners have died within the walls of Impel Down, yet there has never been a single report of a Devil Fruit being found within its depths.

"So...the rebirth of the Devil Fruits...perhaps there's no pattern to it, purely random"

Darren muttered to himself.

"Shall I continue searching Perhaps the rebirth of the Devil Fruit takes more time" asked the flying squirrel.

"Well, we can leave some people on the target island to continue searching."

Although the chances are slim, Darren wouldn't miss out on even a sliver of probability if there was a possibility.

"No problem."

The flying squirrel nodded.

"By the way, there's one more thing. Marin Vando from Headquarters sent a message that the third Officer Training Camp will officially begin in 10 days."

Darren's eyes flashed a gleam, and he smiled faintly:

"Finally, are we going to start"

The flying squirrel pulled a file from the folder behind it and handed it to Darren.

This is the list of personnel for the third session of the Officer Training Camp.

Darren took the file and opened it.

The very first line of the list was his name.

North Sea Admiral, Navy Headquarters Rear Admiral, Rogeres Darren

Darren smiled.

It seems the commendation for the Silde's Saint incident has passed the Headquarters review, I got promoted."

The flying squirrel twitched its mouth.

Darren continued reading down the document.

"Navy Lieutenant Commander, Kuzan, hailing from the South China Sea."

"Naval Captain, Doberman, hails from the West Sea."

"Lieutenant of the Navy, burning mountains, born in the South China Sea."

"Lieutenant Commander, Kizaru, from the West Sea."

"... "

He saw many familiar names.

"The Golden Generation… truly a constellation of stars."

Darren looked at the names on the famous list, each one destined to echo across the seas in the future, writing countless stories within the naval ranks. A smile of anticipation spread across his face.

The tides of time are about to turn, this is a dazzling and grand era!!
