One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 11 The Location of Celestial Gold? The Wind God Pteranodon!
"Boom!"

Colonel Astor's body crashed heavily to the ground.

Roy slowly withdrew his right leg and adjusted the mask on his face: "I haven't used it for a while, but it's okay. I haven't gotten rusty yet."

Yes—just as mentioned before, the Six Powers are not really a secret to the Navy.

Any naval officer of lieutenant rank or above who has served at headquarters for several years will have the opportunity to learn, either through other naval officers or through training grounds.

The only real limitation to learning the Six Styles is the extremely high physical demands it places on the learner.

Once the physical strength reaches the required level, many people can even comprehend one of the six forms on their own.

Clearly, physical strength is not a limitation for Roy.

Although both of his Zoan-type Devil Fruits are at level 1, the physical enhancement they provide is enough for him to master the Six Styles.

So in fact, Roy had already learned four of the six techniques: 'Moon Walk', 'Storm Kick', 'Shave', and 'Iron Body'.

While I wouldn't call myself an expert, I can certainly use it skillfully.

"Shaving is a standard feature of strong fighters, Iron Body is a defensive technique, Moonwalk is a rare ability to fly, and Tempest Kick is a ranged attack ability. You must try them all."

Muttering to himself, Roy slowly approached the corpse of Steward Mantal.

Looking at the other person's folded corpse, Roy reached out and rummaged into the other person's pocket.

Then, as expected, he took something out of the other person's pocket.

A few high-quality gemstones and stacks of ten thousand yuan in cash were certainly not enough to make Roy infatuated.

"Slurp... Cough cough, what's this?"

What truly concerned him were two other things besides the treasure.

The first item was a set of keys, each with a number on it.

The second item was a piece of paper that had been carefully folded.

"The key, needless to say, must be the key to this treasure—but this piece of paper was somehow stored together with the key."

Roy curiously opened the paper, and then...
"This is."

His expression suddenly froze.

Then, his breathing became somewhat rapid.

Because at this moment, the paper in front of him, when unfolded, was clearly a nautical chart, with a clear line on it.

So to be precise, this is a 'flight route map'.

The route begins at the Sabaody Archipelago.

Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that this must be the route map of the return voyage of the Mantar steward after selling those slaves in the Sabaody Archipelago.

But therein lies the problem.

As the steward of the royal merchant ships, Mantar's return voyage should rightfully be to the capital of the Kingdom of Nismair.

The destination of this route map is not the capital of the Kingdom of Nismair, but another island called 'Arahit Island'.

That island is quite a distance from the capital, and is even very close to the doldrums.

So why is that?

Almost instinctively, Roy recalled a piece of information he had heard from Steward Mantal earlier—this batch of financial reports would be part of the Kingdom of Nismair's 'Heavenly Gold' this year, and the time for offering the Heavenly Gold was very close.

Therefore, the answer is self-evident.

"Arahit Island, this island is the port where 'Heavenly Gold' is stored and transported!"

But just as Roy was filled with horror.

His keen hearing also picked up the noise coming from the naval branch above—clearly, the drunken sailors were gradually waking up.

So he put the paper back into Steward Mantal's pocket, then took the bunch of keys and decisively turned around to open the box.

As the treasure chests piled up in the storage room were opened one after another, each chest was indeed filled with glittering gold or piles of Berries. So, Roy didn't hesitate to place his hand on one of them.

As the system operated, the treasure and Bailey disappeared one after another, replaced by a voice that kept ringing in Roy's ears.

[Current Pele holdings: 4523 million → 7530 million]

[Current holdings of Pele: 75.3 million → 110 million]

【current.】

"Sure enough, all the ways to make money are written in the constitution of the world government."

Looking at the skyrocketing numbers, Roy couldn't help but sigh.

"No wonder everyone wants to go to sea and become a pirate—what's the point of this job!?"

And it was precisely at the same time that Roy was lamenting for the cattle and horses...
His movements suddenly froze.

Because at that moment, he had already noticed a treasure chest in front of him.

"Hai Lou Shi?"

Looking at the grayish treasure chest that seemed to be made of stone, Roy immediately deduced that it must be made of seastone.

Among the treasures here are items that need to be stored in grand style in seastone treasure chests.

"The Devil Fruit those two guys were talking about is inside!"

Roy immediately realized this—he had previously heard Steward Mantal and Colonel Astor mention that the former had obtained a precious Devil Fruit in the Sabaody Archipelago.

So Roy immediately went to the treasure chest, took out the key with the corresponding number, and opened it.

Then, sure enough, Roy saw a dark blue fruit.

The unique spiral pattern of the ocean's treasures is clearly visible around the fruit.

Meanwhile, the voice of the Fruit Encyclopedia rang in Roy's ears at just the right moment.

[Unclaimed Devil Fruit Discovered]

[The Devil Fruit has been confirmed as 'Ancient Zoan Type, Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Wind God Pteranodon Form', and is currently being analyzed and stored in 'Devil Fruit Encyclopedia'.]

Please touch the fruit to analyze it. Current analysis progress: 0%

As the system's voice rang out, Roy's expression remained blank.

Not only because this was the first time he had obtained a real Devil Fruit.

More importantly...
"Ancient species?"

Roy never expected that the fruit he obtained this time would be a precious 'Ancient Zoan' Devil Fruit.

It is said that Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruits grant their users far greater vitality and physique than normal Zoan-type fruits.

Looking across the entire ocean, although it cannot compare to Mythical Zoan or Logia-type Devil Fruits, it is definitely a rare type of Devil Fruit.

Obtaining such a Devil Fruit was naturally a pleasant surprise for Roy.

So, without hesitation, Roy placed his hand on the fruit.

The next moment, he saw the fruit begin to dissolve.

At the same time, the 'analysis progress' on the light screen in front of him began to jump continuously.

In just a few breaths, he saw the fruit vanish into thin air.
