The walking dragon son

Chapter 674 Finally meet

Erza and others rescued Riku Dold III from an underground scrap iron factory.

After Sugar was defeated, many people who had been turned into toys returned to normal, and others also recovered their memories of these people.

Because of this, what Doflamingo did to Dressrosa was completely exposed.

In an instant, the hero and wise king who saved the country turned into a despicable kleptocrat and tyrant.

And King Riku became the king of Dressrosa again with his majestic image of enduring injustice for the country.

In Ciel's opinion, King Riku was not a qualified king.

It cannot be denied that King Riku is indeed a kind and benevolent person, but for the king, being kind and kind is a shortcoming in some aspects.

To say that King Riku is unqualified is not just because he simply believed Doflamingo's lies, but also because of his actions.

After the Dressrosa theft incident, the civilians of Dressrosa no longer believed in King Riku, but the kings of several surrounding countries believed in him and supported his restoration in the original plot.

So what's the reason? It was because when King Liku was in power, he spent a lot of money on several surrounding countries, which reduced a lot of conflicts in the surrounding waters and created a peaceful situation.

So when Doflamingo proposed to let King Riku spend money to redeem the country, King Riku had to raise funds from the citizens.

Is this operation... really something a king would do?

Ciel couldn't even comment. If he were the king of the surrounding countries, he would welcome King Riku, a saint who sacrificed himself and benefited others, to be the king of Dressrosa.

King Liku is indeed a good man, but a good man may not be a good king.

But this world is outrageous enough, and a king like King Riku would at least not let this country suffer.

And no matter what, this has nothing to do with Ciel.

In order to repay Fairy Tail, King Riku held a grand banquet for everyone.

Before that, Ciel and the others plundered Doflamingo's collection.

Doflamingo is different from Tezzolo. His wealth exists more in the form of industries spread across the sea.

So Ciel only found some treasures and works of art in his treasury, as well as some Bailey banknotes.

The most surprising thing is that there are two Devil Fruits, but I don’t know what they are without a Devil Fruit illustrated book.

Ciel only took away the Devil Fruit and some valuable treasures, leaving the rest to Dressrosa.

King Liku was too sincere and said that he would exchange all those things for funds to hold the banquet.

It was Charles who persuaded him. It will take a lot of money to clean up the mess Doflamingo left, and Ciel can't let the good guys suffer too much.

At the banquet, Charles also met Cyrus.

Cyrus was the son-in-law of King Liku and the father of Rebecca. He was once a legendary gladiator who was undefeated in three thousand games in the Dressrosa Arena.

He lost a leg after being turned into a toy soldier by Sugar. Although he was still disabled after returning to his human form, his aura was still not weak.

When he learned that Ciel and the others were looking for someone to learn Haki, Cyrus offered to help.

It is impossible for Cyrus to achieve three thousand consecutive victories in the arena of the New World without mastering his domineering power. Although Ciel had doubts about Cyrus's level of domineering, it wouldn't be a problem for him to guide him in the introductory training.

However, after attending Cyrus's lecture, Ciel felt a little bit dizzy.

As expected by Ciel, there is no unified tutorial on domineering training in the sea. In short, it is to awaken the instinct hidden in the body through various methods.

It was during the battles in the arena that Cyrus awakened his Haki and continued to master it.

And his guidance was to tell everyone his initial feelings and the techniques for mastering domineering.

In other words, even if there is guidance, the awakening of Haki still depends more on one's own efforts and talent.

In order to cooperate with the training, Ciel created magic tools to seal magic power, so that everyone can more intuitively feel the power of their own lives.

After a few days of special training, someone successfully awakened the power of domineering. It was no surprise that this person was Erza Ciel.

Haki is the power of will, and Erza's qualifications in this area go without saying. During the battle with Torrebol, Erza actually had one foot on the threshold of awakening her Haki, and she naturally successfully awakened after some training.

Although she still has some insecurities in her power, now that she has awakened, it is only a matter of time before she fully masters it. Don't even worry about practicing with armed colors.

Erza's success also stimulated others to increase their training. Even if they are companions, they don't want to be left behind. After all, companions have to walk side by side.

While practicing Haki, Ciel also conducted research on Devil Fruits out of curiosity.

Vegapunk, the world's number one scientist, has a theory that Devil Fruit abilities actually represent human possibilities.

Precisely because human possibilities are unlimited, there are all kinds of Devil Fruit abilities.

And the Devil Fruit itself is the key that allows ability users to reach that possibility.

From the looks of it, Bonny's direction in developing the Sui Sui Fruit is quite consistent with the nature of the Devil Fruit.

And this way of reaching possibility is unnatural, so it will be rejected by nature. Therefore, those with abilities will be rejected by the sea, which represents nature.

The two Devil Fruits that Ciel obtained from Doflamingo's treasure trove were all used for research.

The result also made Ciel more agree with Vegapunk's theory, but Ciel also felt more and more that Devil Fruit was not like a natural product, but like the result of genetic engineering.

And it is probably related to the mysterious "huge kingdom" and the blank hundred years. That is probably the biggest secret in the world, and it really makes people curious!

But the problem is that although Devil Fruit looks magical, it is more like a product of technology. Ciel's reality of studying magic is not on the same track as this thing.

Unwilling to be reconciled, Ciel tried to use magic to reverse engineer the "black technology". The result was that Ciel's magical Ring of Nibelungs evolved!

Ciel didn't even know what was going on, but in short, there were three changes in his activation of the Ring of Nibelung.

The first stage is the partial transformation of the body into a dragon, the second stage is the transformation into a dragon, and the third stage is the complete transformation into a dragon.

How should I put it, this magic makes Ciel really look like a user with the fire dragon fruit ability of the animal type fantasy beast.

In addition to the advancement of Devil Fruit research, Ciel's Haki has finally awakened. Recently, Ciel began to learn the techniques of hardening and entangling armaments, and integrating the power of domineering into his own combat system.

At this time, the people sent by King Riku informed Ciel that the main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Moby Dick, was approaching Deros Rosa.
