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

Although the Star Fruit looks quite pretty.

But it doesn't seem to have anything to do with keel at all.

Even if it's a misrepresentation, there has to be some connection, right?

"Do you remember the legend that has been passed down on this island? It mentions the Star Tree!"

"The Star Fruit is the fruit of the Star Tree."

Everyone nodded in realization; they had indeed heard Bogudan mention this before.

"As for why the Star Fruit is rumored to be the Dragon Bone."

"That's because the Star Tree only grows on the dragon's bones!"

Ximen Yan gave a brief explanation.

"So this is the real elixir of immortality!"

Eric stared intently at the Star Fruit in Simon's hand.

The legends that have been passed down on this island.

Eric, who was dedicated to finding the elixir of immortality, had naturally learned about it as well.

That's why Eric immediately believed Simon's words.

Because the island's legends do not mention that dragon bones are the elixir of immortality.

The idea that dragon bones are an elixir of immortality seems to have originated from an unknown source.

On the contrary, legend has it that many monarchs throughout history have searched for the Star Tree.

He initially felt something was off.

However, the Star Fruit that grows on the Star Tree is the true elixir of immortality.

Then it's not surprising that so many generations of monarchs have been searching for the Star Tree.

As for why it was mistakenly reported as dragon bones.

Didn't Ximen Yan just say that the Star Tree only grows on the Dragon Bone?

So the original legend should be: the star tree on the dragon's bones can grant immortality.

As time went by, it became known that dragon bones could grant immortality.

Eric set his sights on the numerous petrified dragon bones.

Now that we know the real elixir of immortality is the Star Fruit.

Then he wouldn't need to clash with the Straw Hat Pirates.

There are still many dragon bones on the Lost Island.

He needs to hurry and find the Star Fruit up there.

"If that's the case, then this Star Fruit must be very precious!"

Usopp couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the Star Fruit in Simon's hand.

"precious!"

Nami suddenly woke up and immediately looked at the Star Fruit.

Yes, since the elixir of immortality is the fruit of the star.

They no longer need to worry about harming the Thousand-Year Dragon.

In that case, we certainly can't let this opportunity to make money slip by.

"Ximen Yan, let's hurry and find the Star Fruit!"

"Otherwise, that transvestite Eric will find them all in no time."

Nami said somewhat impatiently.

This is a huge treasure!

Eric, standing not far away, glared at Nami with some annoyance. He was a Kamaitachi, not a transvestite!

"Unfortunately, it can no longer be found."

"Because the Star Fruit will only appear before the Lost Island rises."

"And it will only appear for a very short time."

“I checked many Star Trees before, and there are no more Star Fruits on them.”

Ximen Yan said with a slight disappointment.

If we can still find the Star Fruit.

How could he possibly have the time to explain things to everyone right now!

“It’s gone!”

Nami was extremely disappointed; she had missed out on such a huge treasure!

Chapter 77 Departure for the Grand Line

In the Straw Hat Pirates, besides Nami...

Others didn't react much to the news.

However, Eric was different at this time.

"Damn it! What did you say?!"

Eric glared angrily at Simon.

He finally learned that the real elixir of immortality was the Star Fruit.

I was just about to go and find the real elixir of immortality.

As it turned out, Ximen Yan said that there were none left!

"Well, that's true. So come back and search again in a thousand years!"

Ximen Yan glanced at Eric and said calmly.

Eric was instantly enraged when he saw Simon's calm expression.

If he could live for a thousand years.

Is it still necessary to go to great lengths to find the elixir of immortality?

"In that case, we'll just have to take it by force."

Eric held up his index and middle fingers together.

This is his stance as if he's preparing to launch an attack.

There are no more Star Fruits on the Star Tree.

But doesn't Ximen Yan have some?

"I think you'd better not make a move."

Ximen Yan's expression remained calm.

In Ximen Yan's eyes, Eric's strength was nothing, so he didn't care about Eric.

But if Eric were to attack him...

Then you must be prepared to die.

"Leave it to me! I promised Master Long I would protect this place."

Luffy stepped forward and looked at Eric.

"Then it's up to you, Luffy."

Ximen Yan shrugged.

Since Luffy wants to take action.

Then he just doesn't care.

Although Eric's abilities are still quite strong.

However, they are still opponents that Luffy can defeat.

Ximen Yan turned and walked away.

Although the Star Fruit is no longer available.

However, we might be able to find other high-end ingredients.

Clearly, Ximen Yan was overthinking things.

He couldn't find any high-quality ingredients at all.

Although they were willing to continue their search, it was time for them to set off.

……

Less than a day after leaving Gunkanjima.

The Going Merry has arrived near Upside Down.

Nami quickly spotted a beam of light.

"Everyone, look at that light!"

Nami excitedly shouted to everyone.

"Is it the island's lighthouse?"

Usopp was somewhat puzzled.

Shouldn't Loguetown be the last island on the way to the Grand Line?

As for Gunkanjima, they encountered it because they deviated from their course.

"That is a guiding light."

"The entrance to the Grand Line lies at the end of that light."

Nami looked at everyone and explained.

After obtaining the charts of the Grand Line, she studied them for a very long time.

Although some aspects have not yet been fully studied.

However, Nami knew how to get to the Grand Line.

"Is the Grand Line just ahead?"

Luffy looked at the beam of light with some anticipation.

The Grand Line is right before our eyes.

Only by entering the Grand Line can he get one step closer to the throne of the Pirate King.

"How to do it?"

Nami looked at Luffy and asked.

After all, there was a large expanse of rain clouds ahead.

If we continue forward, we will be entering a storm.

Therefore, whether to continue or not is naturally a decision for Luffy, as the captain.

Usopp looked at Luffy and tried to persuade him.

"There's absolutely no need for us to head to the Grand Line in this storm!"

"It'll be better once the storm stops!"

After all, the Grand Line is an extremely dangerous place.

So now Usopp is backing down again.

"Whee!"
