110 Kuro’s Devil Fruit

Half a month later, a golden ship was floating above God's Shrine.

Now that the Ark Maxim has been finished, the golden human-faced statue on it has also been changed to look like the Decepticon Susanoo.

Most of the blast wind dials collected at Sky Island were installed on this new ship, becoming the second line of security.

Wapol, the Munch-Munch Fruit tool man, was temporarily responsible for fusing with Enel, the Thunder Fruit ability user, and has to fuse it every few days to recharge the Ark Maxim.

Van Augur successfully subdued Priest Shura's flying war pet Three-lenght Bird, Fuza. He also got two flash dials, which can be used to interfere with the enemy's sight.

In addition, the flame dials in Fuza's mouth can also breathe fire and attack. Now this sniper has been upgraded to a safer and more mobile aerial sniper.

Burgess has two extremely rare impact dials in his hands. Coupled with his powerful strength and tough body, he can now blow up a pirate ship with one punch.

Lafitte also carries a rare laser dial, which can easily cut through a tree more than ten meters tall.

As for the Ax dials, almost everyone has one. Eldoraggo and Bear King both took a few to increase their attack power.

Basire and Zoro, on the other hand, do not need this external help and specialize in their own Haki and swordsmanship.

Doc Q also collected a few rare dials, but these things were of little use to him.

Instead, he used empty dials to make some gas dials and gave them to Lafitte.

The priest Ohm and the three tori brothers turned into sisters who were not killed all surrendered to the new god Basire and guarded the shrine for him.

The three tori sisters had been women for more than a week before they were turned back into men by Doc Q.

From then on, neither the people of Sky Island nor the crew of the Big Daddy Pirates dared to provoke this perverted old poison doctor.

"Set off!"

Following Basire's order, the Ark Maxim slowly flew out of the God's Island and landed on Jaya Island below.

The island ships Groseade and the Bliking also reappeared near Jaya today.

These days, the pirates who joined the Golden Lion Fleet have been looking for the Big Daddy Pirates everywhere.

However, because Basire obtained the status of Shichibukai, some affiliated pirate groups retreated. Among them were many veteran pirates who did not want to work for Golden Lion Shiki at all.

They originally joined the Golden Lion Fleet with their own little thoughts, planning to use the name of the legendary pirate to plunder everywhere to satisfy their desires.

Unexpectedly, Golden Lion Shiki would be targeted by Basire, the new Shichibukai, so quickly.

Although Basire is a newcomer, there may be support from Naval Headquarters and the World Government behind this guy, so these minions of pirates will most likely be cannon fodder in the war.

The wise old pirate captains were already fishing in the water, quietly staying away from the waters where the Big Daddy Pirates haunt, and searching "hard" elsewhere, intending to stay away from the war completely, and even be ready to run away at any time.

Or just sit back and let Basire and Shiki fight it out, and only after the winner emerges they might consider coming back to join forces.

Only some of the Newer Pirates were actively looking for the Big Daddy Pirates, and then let their respected Golden Lion boss personally kill Basire, the new Shichibukai who doesn't know how high the sky is. (Can't recognize Mt Tai, courting death! 😂)

On the sea shore of Jaya Island.

The huge island ship Groseade was docked at sea when the Bliking and the sea beast Momoo surfaced from the bottom of the sea and entered the side port of the island ship.

Then a golden ship landed directly in the center area of the island ship and stopped next to the huge rhizome of Lily Carnation.

When Nami and the others saw the golden ship Ark Maxim, they were immediately overwhelmed. They immediately packed their luggage and moved onto the new ship, Nami practically teleported into the ship.

And they also saw Burgess and other crew members moving boxes of gold from the Ark.

"Did you really find the golden capital Shandora on Sky Island? Then when will we go up there again?!!"

Nami's eyes immediately turned into the shape of beri signs, and she shouted excitedly. She can't wait to go to Sky Island to experience for herself what a city full of gold looks like.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Basire put a gold crown on Nami's head and hung a large gold chain directly around her neck, making her waist bend down from the weight.

Nami gritted her teeth and held the large gold chain around her neck with both hands. Her Beri-shaped eyes returned to their original shape due to the weight of the gold.

"It's so heavy! But I like it so much!"

Nami still couldn't bear to let go of this big gold chain. How much money is this gold chain worth, weighing hundreds of kilograms!

"Kuro, turn all this gold into cash and continue improving the Groseade."

Basire saw Kuro who was staying on the island ship and gave instructions.

Now Sky Island and the Island Ship are his important strongholds. They must develop hand in hand and cannot put their eggs in just one basket.

Otherwise, like Doflamingo, Dressrosa is his lifeblood. After the collapse of this territory, his power is almost over.

"As you wish, Captain-sama!"

Kuro said seriously, but his expression changed a little. He knew that his strength was a bit unable to keep up with the main cadres of the Big Daddy Pirates.

Staying on the island ship this time was not only a matter of Basire's trust in him, but also a matter of strength.

"Captain, Doflamingo's things have arrived, a batch of seastone and two Devil Fruits."

"I want to eat one of those Devil Fruits."

Kuro hesitated for a moment and then said it out loud. He must improve his strength. Even if he is a think tank, he needs strength as support.

"Oh? What is the ability that attracted you?"

Basire asked curiously, but his tone showed that he didn't really care much. After all, he didn't believe that bastard Doflamingo could send anything too good.

"Zoan Mantis Fruit!"

Kuro said with a serious face, and immediately took out a Devil Fruit and handed it to Basire, as if he had been prepared for it.

"Haha~, I didn't expect Doflamingo to be so generous! Make full use of its value!"

Basire chuckled, then threw the green Devil Fruit back to Kuro.

"Understood! Captain-sama!"

Kuro finally showed a smile, and he took a bite of the Devil Fruit, as if he had already thought about it.

After Kuro frowned and swallowed the mantis fruit, he didn't expect that the Devil Fruit was really so unpalatable. Even a rational person like him almost couldn't bear it and had to force himself not to spit it out.

After a while, as he exerted his strength, his hands began to turn into two sharp blades reflecting a metallic light. A pair of wings appeared on his back, and his eyes turned into compound eyes.

A humanoid mantis appeared in front of Basire.

"A very good talent! After acquiring the Devil Fruit ability for the first time, you can enter Zoan's half-animal transformation right away!"

Basire looked at Kuro who had successfully transformed, and couldn't help but praise him. The other crew members also gathered around and looked at Kuro who had taken the Mantis Devil Fruit.
