Pirate King: I'm determined to be the King of Sons-in-Law!

Chapter 341 The Fruit of Tremor, Rebirth

The New World, Egerhead.

The island's climate is warm like springtime, a stark contrast to the previous cold environment. The research institute is also divided into two levels, with eggshell-like punk records floating above the island clouds.

At the port, warships are docked.

Marines escorted the cat viper into the research institute.

"What a big change!"

Loya stood on the deck, looking at the island's environment, and couldn't help but admire it. Every time he came here, he had a new and exciting experience.

"senior."

Lu Yun approached Luo Ya, holding a small Den Den Mushi.

"It is a connection with the Holy Land."

"Holy Land?"

Loya frowned and took the Den Den Mushi.

"Hello, this is Loya."

"Loya".

The Den Den Mushi emitted Satan's voice.

"You're in Egherd, right?"

"That's right."

"I have a task for you."

"."

A moment later, the Den Den Mushi hung up.

Loya frowned slightly.

Satan tasked him with investigating whether Vegapunk was secretly researching ancient history. If the evidence was conclusive, he could eliminate Vegapunk if necessary.

"Still the same as always."

Loya stroked his chin.

As a scientist, Vegapunk's fascination with ancient history was self-evident, and it was only a matter of time before clues were discovered.

However, it's a bit strange to assign him the investigation task; there's probably a hint of testing him.

"Let's go to the island!"

Research Institute, Punk Records Area.

Inside the laboratory, seven nutrient pods labeled SSG were lined up in a row, and the experimental subjects inside looked to be about eleven or twelve years old.

"They can be awakened now!"

Vegapunk excitedly showed off his research results: the Seraphim had been successfully cultivated and could be awakened at any time.

However, to reach the best condition, it is best to wait a few more months. During this period, it is necessary to instill common sense and combat knowledge in the Seraphim, as well as the ability to create paired fruits.

They will be the strongest humans.

"That's amazing!"

Loya sincerely praised it.

Each Seraph possesses combat power comparable to that of a Shichibukai.

And this is just the beginning. Once more Seraphim are trained, especially the Four Emperors' Seraphim, pirates will be no threat at all.

Loya toured the site for a while and then inquired about another experimental project.

"Doctor, how's the Mother Flame progressing?"

"It's nearing completion and is currently in the experimental stage to test its stability."

Vegapunk became even more excited.

After joining the government, his two most important research projects were pacifism and Mother Spark.

In terms of priority, the Mother Spark experiment is still above the pacifists.

Projects like replicating Devil Fruits, human gigantification, and extracting abilities from Devil Fruit users are ranked lower in importance.

The two arrived at a large experimental site.

In the center of the laboratory, there is something resembling a small sun, emitting a soft light.

"Now, Eghelm's energy is all supplied by it!"

Vegapunk spoke excitedly, without a trace of suspicion.

The Mother Flame is a substitute he invented by imitating ancient energy sources; it is the youthful foundation of his dream of unlimited energy.

Simply put, it's a super battery.

After spending three days in Egherd, Loya had to leave early due to an unexpected event.

"One Piece Expo!"

News of the World Expo spread throughout the world through newspapers, and almost every famous pirate received an invitation.

Normally, this is just a pirate carnival, which has little impact on the World Government and provides the Navy with a good opportunity to wipe out all the participating pirates.

The problem lies with the prize.

"Paramecia-type Devil Fruit - Tremor-Tremor Fruit!"

A photo of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit appeared in the newspaper, claiming that the "strongest Devil Fruit" capable of destroying the world had been resurrected!

The Five Elders gave the Navy a strict order: if the news about the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is true, then they must seize it.

Besides the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, the prizes also included Roger's enormous treasure, which also attracted the attention of pirates.

G-14 Branch, Base Chief's Office.

"Wow, that's quite a generous gesture!"

Loya sat on the sofa, his brows furrowed deeply.

There is no pattern to the rebirth of Devil Fruits; anyone could obtain one. It is common for powerful fruits to be used for their own purposes after they are obtained.

But using the strongest fruit as a gimmick is undeniably a grand move.

"Smoker, Tina."

Loya raised his head and looked down at his two trusted subordinates.

"You two will infiltrate Delta Island and investigate the whereabouts of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit."

"yes!"

The two responded simultaneously.

The Pirate Expo is a festival held specifically for pirates; if the Navy were to appear, they would inevitably become the target of everyone's attacks.

Especially the generals of the headquarters.

Therefore, Loya could only send his subordinates in to infiltrate first. It would be good if they made a gain, but it wouldn't matter if they didn't. It would just be a training opportunity for the two of them.

It's mainly just for show, to impress the higher-ups.

Lucci and his group were given the same arrangement.

After the two left, Lu Yun led Yamato through the door and entered.

"Senpai, Ms. Yamato has arrived."

"Yamato."

Loya looked at Yamato and smiled.

Upon learning of the planned World Expo, he informed Yamato.

Smoker and Tina were just there to make up the numbers; Yamato was the real ace. In terms of strength, Yamato was the strongest among his comrades, and he was also quite lucky.

"Would you like to go to the World Expo?"

"I think and think!"

Yamato clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming like laser beams.

Upon hearing the news, she couldn't wait to join in the fun; she loves celebrations and the like.

"Let's go have some fun!"

Loya chuckled, not asking Yamato to do anything specific. As long as the little girl had fun, whether she gained anything was secondary.

Anyway, he'll cover for me.

As the days passed, the World Expo drew ever closer.

Location: Delta Island.

Countless pirate ships swarmed in.

"Oh! We're here!"

As the Sunny entered the river inside the island, the Straw Hat crew on deck were excited and were about to shout when an arrogant voice came from behind.

"Get out of my way, you little bastards!"

The Victoria Punk cruised wildly, nearly colliding with the Sunny, its imposing design attracting countless eyes.

"It's the Kid Pirates!"

Above the bow, made from a large sea monster skull, Kidd's wild smile is displayed, and his lost arms have been replaced with mechanical arms, giving him a futuristic feel.

"Damn it, it's that bastard!"

Luffy was annoyed to see Kid showing off and was about to argue with him when a lot of bubbles appeared on the sea next to the ship.

Then, the yellow polar diving vessel broke through the surface of the sea.

"If you're all about straw hats, you're falling behind."

Law gave Luffy the middle finger, and then the ship sped away.

As if by prior arrangement, the Worst Generation Supernovas appeared one after another, and even the most low-key Bonney Pirates came to the venue.

In the blink of an eye, the Straw Hat Pirates were left at the very back.

Luffy's head was throbbing with blood, and smoke was billowing from his nostrils.

"Ugh, I'm so angry, Franky, hurry up and chase after them!"

"Understood, Captain!"

Speedboat mode activated!

Besides the Worst Age, the subordinates of the Four Emperors also arrived one after another.

"What a noisy bunch of newcomers!"

Cavendish, biting a rose, was quite annoyed by the newlyweds' noisy behavior. His carefully prepared entrance went unnoticed.

"Zoro, Zoro?"

"Huff... huff..."

Zoro was sleeping beneath the mast.

Not far away, the ships of the Beasts and the Kingdoms also arrived at the shore, led by the Six Sons and ministers such as Owen.

The price to pay for the Tremor Fruit is worth any price, but it would be somewhat humiliating to have the Four Emperors personally involved in the struggle.

Sending out a group of cadres as the vanguard, and waiting until Zhenzhen has actually arrived, is the time for the major forces to send out their main forces.

The northern waters of Delta Island.

Several warships confronted the international fleet.

Perospero, holding binoculars, peered at the naval fleet, and sweat dripped from his forehead when he spotted the man leading the group.

"It's Admiral Kizaru!"

Clearly, the World Government also wanted to seize the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and even specially dispatched a Marine Admiral to stop them.

The western waters of the island.

More than a dozen Beast Warships stood ready.

"Naval fleet spotted!"

"The leader is General Zhoulong!"

"The road to the World Expo is blocked!"

On the mast lookout tower, the pirates shouted messages.

Pterosaur, Brachiosaurus, Mammoth.

Three flagships stood at the forefront, with Jack the Drought, Quinn the Plague, and Jhin the Wildfire all present.

The three of them stared coldly at the warship ahead, waiting for the sixth son's signal. When the Tremor Fruit appeared, it would be time to start the war.

For now, just be patient!

Warship, deck.

Lu Yun jogged over to Luo Ya's side and reported, "Senior, the Flame Emperor Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates are not making any moves for the time being."

"Is that so?"

Loya raised an eyebrow, quite surprised.

It's normal that the Red-Haired Pirates didn't come; those guys aren't very interested in Devil Fruits. But it was quite surprising that the Flame Emperor Pirates didn't have many of Whitebeard's old subordinates.

Have you let go?

Or perhaps they've encountered trouble.

According to intelligence gathered by the Navy, the new Shichibukai, Whitebeard Jr., has been hunting down remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates, and many have already fallen victim to his schemes.

The Yan Emperor Pirates are desperately searching for Whitebeard Jr., but Whitebeard Jr.'s "mother," Bakkin, is shrewd and has been avoiding a direct confrontation with the Yan Emperor Pirates.

It's like a cat catching a mouse.

At this moment, the island was bustling with noise.

Delta Island is an entertainment island with many bustling towns, making it popular with pirates. The central lake, located deep within the island, is where the World Expo is held.

"Hahaha, it's so lively here!"

"Miss Yamato, slow down!"

Yamato roamed the streets, happily eating and drinking.

Behind her, Speed, still in his white centaur form, chased after her helplessly, almost losing her several times because he had to pay.

"Hurry up, Speed."

Yamato called out to Speed, and they ate and drank along the street as they headed toward the festival venue in the center of the island.

Listen to the broadcast; the World Expo is about to begin.

"Bang!"

With a roar, a huge fountain shot into the sky from the venue, and a small island wrapped in bubbles flew into the air and finally landed above the fountain.

That's where the treasure is kept!

"Ah, it's starting!"

Yamato was getting anxious and quickly ran to Speed's side, flipping him onto her: "Speed, take me to that island!"

"Leave it to me!"

Speed ​​raised his forelegs, and huge, pure white wings suddenly sprouted from his sides.

Horse-Horse Fruit, Mythical Zoan Type - Pegasus Mode!

This is an ability that Miss Yamato specifically sought out for her.

Speed ​​flapped its wings, neighed spiritedly, pawed the ground incessantly, and reached out to grab the reins, turning back to hand them to Yamato.

"Miss Yamato, grab this!"

"good!"

Yamato grabbed the reins and pulled out the whip from the horse's back.

"Snapped!"

The whip struck the horse's rump!

Speedy reared up in pain, his wings spread wide, and his physical functions were enhanced in all aspects.

In her transformed state, each time she is whipped, her strength increases.

"Neigh!"

Speed ​​let out an excited shout, took a running start of several dozen meters, flapped his wings, and soared into the air on his back, sprinting towards Treasure Island above the fountain!

At this moment, countless pirate ships also rushed onto the giant fountain, advancing towards Treasure Island like ants climbing a tree, while simultaneously bombarding each other.

Pirate ships were constantly being destroyed, and some pirates, due to their limited abilities, simply escaped the currents of the fountain.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of pirate ships fell downwards like rain.

"Straw hat, get out of my way!"

"You're the one who should get out of here!"

"You two, get out of my way!"

The Worst Generation's ship was at the forefront, with Luffy, Kid, and Law, the three captains, arguing and refusing to give an inch.

Then, a white figure flew past them.

"Um???"

As the white-haired girl rode away on her celestial horse, a question mark simultaneously appeared on the foreheads of the three captains.

Damn it, who is this?!

Yamato pulled on the reins and threw a punch forward.

"Speed, go for it!!!"

"Neigh!"

Speed ​​excitedly flapped his wings and, in the blink of an eye, overtook all the pirate ships, rushing into the bubble first!

"Pop~~"

A man and a horse passed through the bubbles, and a small island appeared before them.

"Speed, the treasure is over there!"

Yamato shielded his eyes with his hand, scanned the area, and quickly spotted his target. He pointed excitedly to a high slope ahead.

On the highest hillside of the island, there is a dilapidated pirate ship, surrounded by gold and other treasures.

Without a doubt, that is the place where the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Roger's treasure are stored!

"Neigh!"

Speed ​​let out an excited screech and was about to fly toward the treasure when a defiant and furious roar came from behind him.

"Stop right there!"

They are the three captains.

"Magnetic Launch!"

"Room!"

"Rubber Rubber Rocket!"

Luffy, Kid, and Law appeared almost simultaneously in the air in front of Yamato, angrily preparing to launch an attack.

With the ability to fly like a pegasus, the white-haired girl can fly directly to the treasure land, avoiding unnecessary fighting.

In other words, if they don't stop it, the treasure will inevitably fall into the other side's hands, and they will become mere extras.

How could they allow such a thing?

Even if the other side gets the treasure, they'll have to fight it out in real combat, otherwise they won't be convinced.

"Are you going to fight?"

Yamato's eyes lit up.

She hasn't fought in a long time, mainly because there haven't been any opponents she can take seriously. The pirates in Sabaody Archipelago are no match for her.

"when--"

The three captains were about to utter some harsh words, but since they were in the air and had no foothold, their bodies fell uncontrollably toward the ground.

They rushed over in such a hurry that they didn't consider the issue of flight at all, and in their current state, they are incapable of flying.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

"Bang!"

The screams abruptly stopped, and three plumes of dust appeared on the ground below.

Speed ​​was a little confused. Were these three weirdos here to be funny?

"Miss Yamato, what about us?"

"Go steal the treasure!"

Yamato excitedly picked up the spiked club, jumped off Speed's back, and excitedly spread his limbs.

"Hahaha, I'm going to go beat them all up!"
