Starting with Food Wars, I'll be sourcing delicacies from all realms.

Gunkanjima is said to be part of the Lost Island.

However, in reality, the true lair of the ancient dragon should be the part that has sunk to the bottom of the sea.

So after making some preparations, Ximen Yan dived into the sea.

The seawater wasn't very deep, so Ximen Yan quickly reached the seabed.

Looking out, the seabed was incredibly vibrant at that moment.

Numerous sea fish swim among the many uniquely shaped seabed rocks.

Of course, Ximen Yan didn't catch fish.

Ximen Yan swam to a uniquely shaped underwater rock and observed it for a while.

He knew that these seabed rocks were actually fossils formed from the remains of a dead, thousand-year-old dragon, also known as dragon bones.

Of course, after admiring it for a while, Ximen Yan decided not to pay any more attention to it.

He had no interest in dragon bones or anything like that, not to mention that they had all turned to stone.

Moreover, if the dragon bones of a thousand-year-old dragon could truly grant immortality...

Those Celestial Dragons in the World Government won't let this go.

According to Ximen Yan, the dragon bones of a thousand-year-old dragon can grant immortality.

It's just a fabricated legend.

However, just as Ximen Yan was preparing to look around to see if there were any unusual plants or creatures nearby.

Suddenly, a faint glow caught Ximen Yan's attention.

Ximen Yan hurriedly looked over and discovered a peculiar plant on the fossil of the thousand-year-old dragon.

The plant is entirely white, shaped like a coral tree, and has no branches or leaves.

However, it was covered with seven or eight fist-sized, dark blue fruits, which also had specks of fluorescence.

Like this!

Ximen Yan looked at the fruits thoughtfully.

The deep blue fruit, with its tiny fluorescent spots, resembles a starry night sky.

So this is the Star Tree that Bogudan mentioned?

Ximen Yan didn't know if this was the Star Tree.

However, Ximen Yan still picked all the fruits on it, obtaining a total of seven fruits.

After storing the fruits in the food storage space, the system suddenly sent a message.

Ximen Yan hurriedly swam to the surface of the sea.

Then I started to check the system information, which was very simple, consisting of only one sentence.

[Obtain the top-tier ingredient, Star Fruit]

The name immediately confirmed to Ximen Yan that the plant he had just seen was indeed the so-called Star Tree.

The system messages are simple.

However, Ximen Yan knew that this so-called Star Fruit was definitely not simple.

After all, his system rarely displays any other information besides issuing tasks.

Not to mention, the Star Fruit is rated as a top-tier ingredient by the system, so it's definitely not an ordinary thing.

only.

Ximen Yan took out a Star Fruit and examined it closely.

His gourmet cells had some appetite for the Star Fruit, but not a strong one.

This puzzled Ximen Yan greatly. Wasn't this a top-grade ingredient?

Why doesn't his gourmet instincts have a strong appetite for the Star Fruit?

Ximen Yan was very curious about the reason.

So Ximen Yan put the Star Fruit in his hand to his mouth and took a bite.

The taste of Star Fruit is similar to that of a tomato, but it's much tastier than a regular tomato.

However, in terms of taste, it's about the same as the frog or sea monster meat I've eaten before.

Therefore, there must be other reasons why the Star Fruit was recognized by the system as a top-tier ingredient.

Soon, Ximen Yan sensed the change.

I was already feeling a bit uncomfortable because I had been soaking in the seawater for quite a while.

But now Ximen Yan felt as if he had merged into the sea.

It felt as comfortable as a fish in water. 523

Without a doubt, this change was due to the Star Fruit he ate.

Not only that, Ximen Yan also had a strange feeling that his lifespan had been greatly extended.

Yes, it's improved by at least fifty years.

Ximen Yan seemed to realize something.

The legend that dragon bones can grant immortality is probably due to the star fruit that grows on dragon bones!

Although the Star Fruit doesn't grant immortality.

However, if you eat more, it's obviously possible to live for hundreds of years.

Of course, at this moment, Ximen Yan also understood why his gourmet cells didn't have much of an appetite for the Star Fruit.

After all, his gourmet cell ability is fire.

And the Star Fruit will improve a person's physique and make them more compatible with water.

This in itself clashes with his fire abilities.

It has the effect of extending lifespan.

It's actually not very effective for silicosis.

You also need to keep eating delicious food to allow your food cells to evolve.

Living for hundreds or thousands of years, or even longer, is not a problem.

Therefore, this effect is not very appealing to Ximenyan's food cells.

Of course, although it doesn't have much effect on him, it does have these two effects.

Star Fruit truly deserves to be called a top-tier ingredient.

Chapter 75 The Lost Island Rises, the Star Fruit Disappears

Ximen Yan dived back into the sea.

And because of eating the Star Fruit.

Ximen Yan's movements in the sea also became very agile.

And it can stay underwater for a long time without breathing.

This time, Ximen Yan began searching for the Star Tree with a specific purpose in mind.

However, Ximen Yan spent two or three hours finding only one more Star Tree.

I obtained the six-star fruit from above.

However, he only searched a small area.

Therefore, Ximen Yan naturally prepared to continue his efforts.

But at that moment, Ximen Yan suddenly felt the entire sea shaking.

The fish in the vicinity have begun to scatter.

Ximen Yan understood that this must be a sign that the Lost Island was about to rise again.

Ximen Yan completely ignored this.

After all, finding the Star Fruit is more important than these other things.

However, a roar that seemed to shake the entire ocean followed.

Ximen Yan suddenly realized what was happening.

This voice should have come from the thousand-year-old dragon that Abis called Lord Dragon.

In other words, Luffy and his crew have returned to the vicinity of Battleship Island.

Ximen Yan swam towards the sea, and just as he emerged from the water...

Then he saw that not far from him, Lord Long suddenly spread his wings and flew away.

Is it a final burst of energy before death?

Ximen Yan watched as the dragon flew up and sighed inwardly.

He had witnessed Master Long's condition before; he was definitely at the end of his life.

It's fair to say that if it weren't for the strong will to return to the dragon's lair that sustained Lord Long, he probably wouldn't have survived.

Now that it has taken flight, it is naturally a last gasp before its full glory fades.

Ximen Yan greatly admired Master Long's will.

But the navy doesn't care about any of that.

With a command from Admiral Nelson Roy.

The navy launched an attack on Lord Dragon.

Just as a large number of shells were about to hit Lord Long.

Suddenly, a wall of flames appeared, blocking the cannonballs.

This wall of flames was naturally created by Ximen Yan.

On the naval warship, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, who were anxiously watching from this side, were overjoyed.

"Haha, it's Ximen Yan!"

Luffy couldn't help but laugh.

"This guy really arrived just in time!"

Zoro breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, if Lord Long were hit by a cannonball, he would probably die very soon.

"Well, he really got to show off for once!"

Sanji took a drag on his cigarette.

That was a close call!

……

Although Ximen Yan blocked the flames.

However, the dragon didn't fly for long before falling into the sea.

In his final moments, Lord Long made a call.

A large number of ancient dragons arrived at the call of the Dragon Lord and hovered over Gunkanjima Island.

The tremors across the entire ocean became increasingly violent.

Soon, seabed rocks rose from below the surface.

The lost island, submerged for a thousand years, has reappeared at this moment.

Because of the rise of the Lost Island.

As a result, naval warships were grounded.
