He's a pirate, but also a Pokémon Master.

I was right!

He can enjoy the power of the Muscle-Muscle Fruit and use Fighting-type moves without fusing with a Pokémon, with a 20% boost effect.

Because it is presented in the form of entries, it does not have the side effects of Devil Fruits such as being countered by seawater.

Guxin took a deep breath, and his right biceps bulged out, expanding instantly like an inflating balloon, which he then casually blasted into the air.

The sound of something cutting through the air was deafening!

Currently, he can increase his strength by about 1.5 times, and this number can gradually increase as he develops his abilities.

This reminded him of the Momo-Momo Fruit that appeared in the movie, also known as the Multiply Fruit, which can increase strength, speed, and even the volume of objects tenfold or a hundredfold.

The Muscle-Muscle Fruit is naturally no match for it...

Perhaps he will have the opportunity to plunder the Momo Fruit in the future.

A flash of excitement crossed Guxin's eyes; today's harvest had greatly satisfied him.

Wapol's corpse, the Muscle Fruit, and the Plesiosaur Fruit, and most importantly, Snorlax's stats have evolved.

A single Devil Fruit has limited power.

But what if it were multiple Devil Fruits? They wouldn't even have side effects, and combining them would have a tremendous impact!

The only drawback is that Snorlax can only feed him two Devil Fruits at the moment. The maximum number of Devil Fruits will only increase once Snorlax's strength increases and its Gourmet Cells are enhanced.

Considering that certain Devil Fruits can provide additional attribute boosts, and most Pokémon types are natural elements such as fire, water, and grass, it is clear that he needs to collect Logia-type Devil Fruits.

Therefore, his next target became obvious...

Natural Type: Sand-Sand Fruit!

……

In the days that followed, an unbelievable message spread throughout Drum Island.

King Walpo, the man who, in order to demonstrate his power, drove a great medical nation to the point where doctors were nowhere to be seen, has actually decided to abolish the tyranny of "exterminating doctors"!

This is a complete fantasy.

Given Wahlbo's previous actions, no one really believed he had become friendly; everyone felt there was a "trap" involved.

However, subsequent news made people believe it to some extent.

Wahlbod prepared to abdicate, handing the throne to his former soldier captain Dalton, and also allocating a portion of the treasury to build Drum Island and improve the well-being of the people.

Dalton had been imprisoned for rebelling against Wahlbod; how could Wahlbod possibly allow him to become king?

No one understood what this fickle king was really thinking.

Some believe that this was just a staged performance by Walpo.

Before long, that tyrant Wapol will be back on the throne.

Until one day, Walpo had a sudden inspiration to embark on a man's adventure, sailing the seas alone without any followers.

People then realized that the former king might be serious.

The port of Drum Island.

The white iron ship docked here, and countless people watched Walpo board the ship, including ministers and soldiers, and many civilians a little further away.

The newly appointed King Dalton stood at the very front, his gaze towards Wahlbo filled with mixed emotions.

Even now, he still doesn't understand what Walpo is thinking.

"Alright! I'm leaving!" Wapol laughed heartily, waving to everyone from the bow of the ship, while also giving one last instruction.

"Remember what I said, from this day forward, Dalton is the new king!"

Gengar, controlling Wapol, spoke and then steered the ship away into the distance.

The white iron ship disappeared on the horizon...

"Genius~"

Gengar leaped out of the shadows, and Wapol's corpse collapsed limply.

With a thought, shadow orbs appeared around it, bombarding the ship relentlessly. The explosions caused water columns to rise from the sea, and the white iron ship sank to the bottom of the sea in no time.

"Genjigengenji..."

Gengar shook its head, finding this uninteresting, but the thought of returning to Guxin's side excited it, and it disappeared from the spot.

……

Snow-capped mountains covered in white snow.

Halfway up the mountain, there is a sparse forest.

The towering pine trees were covered in white snow, as if they were wearing a different kind of silver coat.

"call--"

After running 20 kilometers, Guxin stopped in front of a pine tree, gently exhaled, and the warm breath coming out of his nostrils was clearly visible.

Faint wisps of hot white smoke rose from above his head and shoulders...

Cigu Island is covered in snow all year round, and the average annual temperature is below minus ten degrees Celsius. Even in such severe cold, Gu Xin still wears only thin clothes, but does not feel cold at all.

Although he has only been in this world for less than half a year, Guxin has already deeply realized the importance of strength, so he trains diligently every day.

Thanks to the [Extreme Gourmet Cells], his physique is getting stronger every day, almost exploding!

Every inch of his bones and muscles has been tempered and refined, visibly containing immense power, and his height has increased to 2.7 meters.

In the world of One Piece, he's considered to have escaped the ranks of those with height disabilities.

Gu Xin cracked his knuckles, making a popping sound like popping beans, and then turned his gaze to the big tree beside him.

"Hmm... a good target!"

Gu Xin roared, clenched his fist, and threw out his right fist in a standard stance. The wind from the punch whistled as it landed directly on the large tree that would take several people to encircle.

boom!

The tree trunk shattered with a crash, dust flew everywhere, heavy snow fell from the branches with a clatter, and the broken tree slowly fell backward, snowflakes billowing into the sky.

"It's just a one-time use..." Gu Xin said indifferently.

The loud noise echoed throughout the quiet forest, also arousing the displeasure of the forest's overlord.

A thunderous sound of footsteps came from the forest, and a polar bear about seven or eight meters tall emerged, exuding a fierce aura.

Gu Xin had long heard of a colossal creature in the vicinity that had supposedly been entrenched there for decades, and that countless hunters had perished at its hands.

"Roar!!" The polar bear roared and then quickened its pace to run towards him. Each step of its huge paws made the ground shake violently, as if a giant truck was crashing into it.

Such a behemoth is so powerful that even ordinary firearms cannot harm it; ordinary people cannot even scratch it.

Guxin, however, did something that others saw as suicidal.

He closed his eyes and remained motionless.

Let the polar bear charge at us.

The polar bear's face was ferocious, and its paw, as large as a wooden table, swept down with a whooshing sound; even the wind from its hanging paw stirred up the floating snow on the ground.

Even the hardest steel plate can be pierced with a single palm strike!

When Moyo's claws were a meter away from his body, Guxin moved.

He stepped to the left, precisely avoiding the bear's paw.

"Roar!?" The polar bear was confused, but the next moment its pupils trembled, its hair stood on end, and a thick chill surged up its spine.

Gu Xin opened his eyes, his fierce killing intent undisguised. He lightly stomped on the ground, causing the snow and mud to collapse. His right arm instantly grew larger, and his five fingers gleamed with a black iron-colored luster as he slammed out!

boom!

The astonishing impact caused the polar bear's waist to cave in, and extreme pain spread throughout its body, penetrating every inch.

The polar bear's massive body was then sent flying backward like a high-speed cannonball, crashing through countless giant trees before collapsing amidst the snow, utterly mangled.

One strike, one kill!

Looking at the chaotic scene, Gu Xin shook his hand and smiled.

He has already mastered Armament Haki.

Although it can only partially transform into black iron color, it is already a fairly good Armament Haki.

His Observation Haki is even stronger than his Armament Haki.
