I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

Level 6, Starry Night Lamp

His strength has quietly undergone another leap forward. Figo's success rate in igniting the bloodline flame has increased to 91%. Judging from the feeling of igniting the weapon last time, this is equivalent to 100%. It's just that the prison records are more rigorous.

Indeed, Figo had decided to use the third lamp to ignite the 'Figo Power' he had fused together, hoping that after igniting the bloodline lamp, he could get rid of the predicament of needing to become a fusion monster to display his full strength, but he didn't do it immediately.

They were worried about making a scene in the restaurant.

As for Tilrea's character event 3 and Ato's character events 2 and 3, Figo had already activated them on the way back, and they were all stuck.

Tilrea seeks revenge on Figo.

The second event in Athos's character story is to fulfill Beelzebub's dream, but even he doesn't know what Beelzebub's dream is, only that he has vaguely heard Beelzebub mention it.

Event 3 is even more outrageous, requiring Figo to kill Blue Flavor, the sixth general of the Celestial Dragons, because Beelzebub seems to have suffered a loss at his hands.

This person might even be slightly stronger than Beelzebub.

"A fine young man, yet he's obsessed with his father."

With a sigh, Figo flipped through the prison file to Jose Galato, where he still had no choice regarding the Celestial Dragons' benefits.

This person is quite capable and has a high crime rate, but unfortunately, he only has a 10% participation rate in the arrests, so the rewards won't be very high. After deliberating for a while, Figo did not choose Mind Network, but instead chose the last of the Six Starry Sky Techniques that he had not yet mastered—Pulse Seeking!

This ability to trace one's ancestors is of little use to the people of Qinghai, because historical records show that there are only a handful of URs who lit lamps.

Figo chose this technique because he intended to learn it and then pass it on to the D clan, guiding them to master that unique power of the Hades ship spirit!

Find the pulse +23800→23800

Level 4, Upper-level pulse diagnosis

A new and strange power began to grow within Figo's body. Figo briefly grasped it and suddenly made a surprised "Hmm?" sound through his nose.

Upon hearing this, Ana, who was on the other side, could no longer hold back and asked, "Were you... lighting the third lamp just now?"

"No, it's still a little short."

Was it really just a little short? You've only lit the second lamp... more than four months?

Figo frowned slightly, as if he had encountered something perplexing. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Ana, do you think that if there was no king among our ancestors who lit the lamp, would tracing the veins be effective?"

Ana was taken aback: "That's impossible."

She quickly realized what she meant and said, "You mean yourself..."

Figo nodded.

Ana thought for a moment and said, "There are such examples in the starry sky. It's not that you didn't have an ancestor who lit the lamp, but that perhaps too much time has passed and the tradition was broken in a certain generation."

"For example, a certain planet was once very prosperous thousands of years ago, with many kings, but suddenly it was attacked by foreign enemies, and the kings died one after another. Their descendants fled to the desolate planet like refugees, and even the inheritance of the Six Techniques was lost, so naturally they could not draw out the power of their ancestors."

In earlier years, even after hundreds of years, the power of ancestors could still awaken in their descendants. However, as the power was passed down, it became weaker and weaker. Without the emergence of new power, it gradually faded until it could no longer be awakened.

But once future generations learn to trace the lineage, there is still a chance to reclaim that ancient power.

Ana spoke while subtly hinting at Figo.

Figo seemed to be deep in thought.

Was Qinghai prosperous thousands of years ago?

It's not impossible, because the powers of Hades and Uranus appeared eight hundred years ago, but the powers of Neptune and the mermaid princess have been passed down for countless eight hundred years and their origin is unknown.

As the birthplace of the 'protagonist' Luffy, it's perfectly normal for Qinghai to have an extraordinary history.

Most importantly, Figo was indeed able to sense a faint power through the pulse, proving that his ancestors, who were countless generations back, had also produced kings!

Ana added in a low voice, "I've actually had my suspicions for a long time. If what you say is true, that your planet is a 'small place' or that you've only recently come into contact with the stars, then the chances of you producing a king are too high, even comparable to some powerful clans inhabiting planets in the central star region."

Pure talent is hard to explain. There must be something different about you, especially you. I've never seen such a rapid increase in strength. It's impossible with just talent. Besides, why do geniuses all come from the same small planet? If your planet is a resurrected star lost in history, then everything can be explained.

My talent? I'm cheating.

In terms of talent, Figo is only fit to be a Rear Admiral or Captain in the Navy Headquarters.

According to theories of bloodline and talent, even I can vaguely sense the bloodline of a kingly ancestor. What about Garp? What about Rocks? Did Kizaru's ancestors for hundreds of generations light up some lewd lamps?

Looks like I'll have to go back to Qinghai!

As he put the last piece of meat in his mouth, Figo stacked several layers high on the table with the empty plate. He pondered these thoughts and then slammed down his chopsticks.

Ana: "Finished eating?"

"Boss, another table, please!"

"..."

Chapter 182 Showboating

More than twenty days have passed since the turmoil on East Cyos. Although even the star ring was destroyed, the internal structure was not greatly affected. After a period of suspension of classes, the school island resumed normal operation.

After finishing his meal, Figo went to a nearby school and used his mental network to search for the barbarian girl he was looking for, but he did not find her.

"What's wrong?" Ana sensed something was off about Figo. "Who are you looking for?"

"Let's go find the Celestial Dragon, Is."

Having been watching this place closely, Figo received news while he was feasting that when he arrived at the administrative island near the destroyed prison island, the Celestial Dragon Is was already waiting outside.

"Thank you for your hard work." He looked very polite, showing no trace of the slight displeasure he had with Figo during the fight, and gestured respectfully, "Please follow me."

The white building was magnificent and imposing, but the red door was eerie, as if it were flowing with blood. Figo's gaze lingered on it for half a second before he followed it inside.

Ana was put to wait in the lounge, while Figo was taken to the top floor by Is.

“Please have a seat, Gaston Figo.” He gestured towards the sofa and said, “Thank you for protecting East Cyos and helping us kill the demon race’s formidable foe—the troll Athos.”

Figo didn't sit down: "You're welcome. Excuse me, I have a question first, Lord Is. There was a barbarian girl named Naika who used to attend the racial school, but when I went to check on her just now, she wasn't there. I think she's here?"

Is nodded naturally and said, "That's right. Our investigation found that on the day the troll Ato appeared, he was on Academy Island and had dinner with that girl twice."

“I know, I was with them at noon too. That girl doesn’t know anything,” Figo said. “I didn’t say anything in case the academy island was attacked.”

Is said, “I understand, but Lord Figo may not be aware that the demon race often bewitches such children, luring them back and transforming them into new demon progenitors.”

We cannot guarantee whether the girl has been bewitched. However, please do not worry. We will simply send her to Tianlong Star to receive the best education and correct any potentially problematic thinking in her, which will be beneficial for her.

After all, given the barbarian girl's grades, it would be very difficult for her to get into Tianlong Star.

"That's not bad," Figo nodded. "It's a blessing in disguise. What about her parents? Can they come with her?"

Is nodded: "Of course."

"Can I go see her?"

“No problem.” Is readily led Figo toward a lounge not far away.

The door to the lounge was locked, which Is explained was to prevent the little girl from running around.

Unlocking the door, the lounge was very clean and tidy. There was a large bed directly opposite, and Naika was lying on the bed resting, facing the wall.

The 10-year-old barbarian girl was actually quite tall, about 1.56 meters, but at this moment she seemed to be shrinking back, her hands almost hugging her knees.

However, she was breathing steadily and seemed to be in a good mood, perhaps because she was afraid of the unfamiliar environment.

Is nodded slightly to Figo, and the two of them, without disturbing Naika, quietly withdrew and returned to Is's office.

"Her parents are still working, repairing the damage to the Star Ring that you caused when you fought the troll Athos. Dragon Star is not a shelter, and although her situation is special, her parents still need to earn the money to live on Dragon Star themselves."

“That’s already pretty good,” Figo said.

Is smiled slightly, then his expression turned serious. "Helping children like this to avoid the invasion of the demon race is something we've always been doing. In order to eradicate the demon race, we also need more power. So I hope you can join the expeditionary force to hunt down the demon race and make a contribution!"

Next, he detailed some of the benefits offered to the expeditionary force, including treasures that could extend lifespan and Devil Fruits.

At the same time, he didn't ask Figo a single question about his home planet or the origin of his various races' bloodlines and abilities, as if he had no curiosity whatsoever.

"A strongman like you, with achievements such as assisting in the killing of the troll Ato, should be able to become one of our Celestial Dragons within three years of joining the expeditionary force. Your descendants will then receive the best education and enjoy the best living conditions, and that will never change!"

"I felt their sincerity."

The arrangements for the Naika family were very appropriate; if true, that's really good.

Unfortunately, putting on a show can be counterproductive.

Figo extended his hand to Is. Celestial Dragons didn't seem to have much of a handshake etiquette, but after a slight pause, Is imitated him and shook Figo's hand: "You agree?"

However… Figo's hand clenched tightly!

Heavy chains shot out from both ends of Figo's wrists, instantly binding Is's body. Is's pupils contracted, and he was about to break free by dissolving into fibers when he suddenly felt a deadly chill, telling him—don't move!

Move around, or you'll die!

This guy… seems to have gotten even stronger after his battle with Ato?! Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and Is asked in a dry voice, “Lord Gaston Figo, what do you mean by this?”

Figo did not imbue the chains with the sealing power of the Demon Ancestor, but simply bound him with chains, saying, "Excuse my boldness, but I am rather suspicious by nature. Please look into my eyes and tell me what kind of treatment Naika will truly receive."

Is's expression froze, then he roared, "This is more than just presumptuous! Do you think I would do anything to a child?!"

"Everything was too perfect. When I asked Naika, you weren't even surprised. It was as if you had prepared everything in advance and put on a show for me. And regarding my unique physical techniques, did you even show a shred of curiosity or ask a single question?"

Is frowned and said, "So respecting you was wrong? Let me go! You are insulting the Celestial Dragons and making an enemy of them!"

Figo loosened the chains binding Is.

Sure enough.

Guessing? No, it's more than just guessing.
