Chapter 218 Barrett VS Fire Dragon
PS: I made a slight change to the previous chapter. Katakuri didn't eat the Mochi Mochi Fruit. His new ability will be given to him again in the future.
………………
Ember, transformed into a fire dragon, flapped its wings.
Because he already possesses wings, Jhin adapted to using dragon wings almost instantly.
The dragon's wings merged with his innate wings, and with just a gentle flap, he flew through the air at a speed that produced a sharp sonic whistle.
"Roar--!"
The dragon roared, spewing raging flames from its mouth onto the sea, instantly turning the surging currents around Oni Island into a sea of fire.
Boom boom boom...
A terrifying explosion ripped through the sea of fire; the dragon breath spewed by the embers was not just flames, but a terrifying burst of fire.
This spectacular scene was witnessed by everyone, and many people looked on with envy.
The dragon circled once in the sky before returning to the top of the giant skull.
Then it folded its wings, returned to its normal form as Jin, and landed in front of Kaido and the others.
Boom!
As soon as he landed, King knelt down on one knee in front of Kaido.
"I can never repay Mr. Kaido for bestowing upon me this fruit! I can only vow to follow Mr. Kaido to the death!"
【ding~】
[Jin (Abel)'s loyalty has been raised to 99!]
Kaido smiled slightly upon seeing this.
"Jin, I told you, from now on, I'll protect you, and no one will be able to bully you anymore!"
"Get up. Although we are superior and subordinate, we are also partners. There is no need for such formalities between partners."
Jin slowly stood up.
His dark, handsome face was full of determination.
He remembered all the kindness Kaido had shown him.
He didn't know how to say anything fancy, but one thing he knew was that he had to help Kaido become king!
Even if it costs me my life in the process, I'm willing to pay the price!
After admiring King's new abilities, Kaido led everyone back to the castle inside Onigashima.
He clapped his hands, and a group of servants quickly entered from the side of the room.
Each of them carried a box tied with a big red flower.
"Today is our pirate crew's annual party."
"Although you interns have received a lot of spoils when you go out to fight, you don't get paid normally."
"Therefore, these are some small tokens of my appreciation, New Year's red envelopes, 1 million Berries each. Please accept them without hesitation."
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the interns who hadn't received any rewards because they had already eaten Devil Fruits lit up instantly.
"1 million Berries! That's a huge bonus!!"
Olga was the first to rush forward and, without any hesitation, took a box directly.
Furthermore, in a very impolite manner, they opened the box and started counting the money in front of everyone.
Although Moria and the others despised Olga's behavior, they were quick to accept the red envelopes.
In the blink of an eye, all seven boxes that Kaido had prepared were transferred to the hands of the interns.
Barrett glanced down at the suitcase he was carrying.
He felt very strange at that moment.
On the one hand, because of past experiences of betrayal, they still instinctively resist getting close to others.
On the other hand, the unique atmosphere of the Beasts Pirates also brought a long-lost warmth to his cold heart.
Kaido glanced at Bullet, whose face was ashen, and didn't try to persuade him any further.
For someone who has closed themselves off emotionally, the best way to open their heart is to do more and say less.
With a wave of his hand, Kaido chased away the group of brats who had received red envelopes and were eager to spend them. Then, he ordered his men to gather all the crew members of the pirate crew together.
Currently, besides Kaido's women and the twelve executives mentioned earlier, the remaining executives of the Beasts Pirates mainly include—
Senior Executive/Head Chef: Long bread.
High-ranking official and president of Hyakusho Pharmaceuticals: Mischina Asie.
Senior Executive, Head of MADS Research Department: Vegaponk.
High-ranking official and chief steward of all beasts: Capone Sonny.
Big Cadre, Big Signboard: Quinn.
High-ranking official and scientist: Vincemuk Judge
High-ranking official and scientist: Caesar Courant
There were a total of seven high-ranking officials.
Kaido was also very generous, giving each of them 3 million Berries as a year-end bonus.
They were all quite happy when they received the money.
Although many of them are not short of money, 3 million Berries is by no means a small amount, and no one can easily ignore this sum.
After distributing the money, Kaido clapped his hands again to attract everyone's attention.
"The old year has passed, and the new year is about to begin."
"The Beasts Pirates cannot thrive without the hard work of everyone..."
"...Next year will bring even more new challenges in my plans, so let's all keep up the good work!!"
After the encouraging speech, everyone echoed in agreement, and the system also provided reminders from time to time.
Those whose loyalty level was not 99 gradually reached the maximum of 99 during this process.
After all the officers had left, Kaido finally took out the only Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit he had obtained earlier.
Zoan type, Inu Inu no Mi (Dog-Dog Fruit), Mythical Zoan type, Nine-tailed Fox form.
In the original timeline, this was Katrina Devon's Devil Fruit, and the manga did not fully reveal the fruit's specific abilities.
Based on information from his previous life, Kaido only knew that it might be a superior version of the Paramecia-type Imitation Fruit.
But this is not absolute.
After all, the nine-tailed fox has many abilities in legends, not just limited to transformation.
For example, it is possible that the so-called transformation is essentially an illusionary ability that deceives other people's senses.
After taking out the fruit, Kaido turned around and handed it to Selene.
"This is for you, Nine-Tailed Fox."
Selene took the fruit with some surprise, "I didn't expect you to be able to get your hands on this mythical beast."
Kaido raised an eyebrow. "What? Is this fruit special?"
Selene shook her head slightly. "Overall, it's just average. Its direct combat ability isn't very strong, but its support ability is quite good."
"If I could, I would actually prefer a Fighting-type Mythical Beast, but since you gave me this fruit, it's not bad."
Without hesitation, Selene opened her mouth and began to gnaw on the nine-tailed fox fruit.
Of course, her decisiveness is also inseparable from Kaido's ability to use the Rise-Rise Fruit.
There's no need to panic if you eat a non-combat mythical beast first; you can always make up for it when you get a better fruit later.
Click click...
After finishing the fruit in a few bites, Selene closed her eyes slightly and activated the fruit's transformation.
Without a sound, one golden fox tail after another grew out from behind her.
Not only that, her hair color also changed.
Her original red hair, as fragrant as fine wine, transformed into dazzling blonde hair.
A pair of adorable fox ears fluttered gently among her golden hair.
Kaido stretched out his hand and pulled Selene, who was transforming into her human-beast form for the first time, into his arms.
A warm breath gently caressed the fox's ears.
"I have reason to suspect that the legendary Mink Tribe is a product of the mutation of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users..."
Upon hearing this, Selene rolled her eyes at Kaido in annoyance.
"I knew you weren't up to any good when you gave me the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit..."
