Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

Magellan wanted to say something more.

"but--"

"If you know you're making things difficult for people, then don't say anything."

Ian interrupted the other person.

"Director, if there's nothing else, I'll be going to work now."

"I haven't inspected the prison for several days, and I'm getting a little itchy to do it."

Itchy hands?

Magellan watched Ian's departing figure, and his eyelids suddenly twitched.

He was worried that Shiryu would turn into a madman who couldn't distinguish friend from foe and killed countless people.

But now it seems that Ian also has that potential?

"It must be an illusion! An illusion!"

Magellan, with his buttocks clenched, rushed into the toilet.

The hallway outside the director's office.

Ian had only taken a few steps when he suddenly heard a voice coming from the side.

"Adrian!"

Ian turned his head and saw that Little Sadie, who had recovered, was waving her whip at him.

"...Remember to train those prison guards well!"

"I don't have such a terrible habit."

Ian waved to Sadie and took the elevator directly to the first floor above sea level.

After cleaning up and changing into his uniform, Ian began his patrol of Impel Down once again.

However, the "battle between the prison chief and the deputy director" that occurred a few days ago.

Through word of mouth among the prison guards, many prisoners also learned the news.

Shiryu of the Rain is a ruthless killer who doesn't blink an eye.

Ian was able to suppress such a ruthless person.

The prisoners immediately transferred their fear of Shiliu to Ian.

This also resulted in his Impel Down patrol being incredibly safe throughout.

How is this possible?

Ian, who was eyeing the [System Treasure Chest], found another excuse.

—He doesn't like striped clothes today.

Then they went straight to the guy with the highest bounty in the Burning Hell.

Bounty: 9100 million Berries. User of the Zoan-type Chameleon Fruit!

Even in Impel Down, a place teeming with prisoners, Devil Fruit users are still a rare sight.

At least in the first four levels, the number of Devil Fruit users can be described as small.

Ian approached the other party simply to see if this pirate with a bounty of over 90 million could provide a golden treasure chest!

But the result disappointed him.

This "chameleon man" can only provide one [Silver Treasure Chest].

'A bounty of over 100 million, corresponding to a golden treasure chest!'

This confirmed Ian's suspicions.

'It seems the hope of hunting for the golden treasure chest lies in the Extreme Cold Hell!'

Chapter 28 I need a higher-level golden treasure chest! I need a stronger opponent!

I obtained a [Silver Treasure Chest] today.

Considering the other party's identity as a Devil Fruit user.

Instead of using the treasure chest to add points, Ian impulsively used it to "make a wish".

'Chameleon, a three-star treasure chest, could it be a three-star [Ring of Magic Control]?'

Ian looked at the melting silver treasure chest in front of him with a hint of anticipation.

But he never saw anything in the treasure chest until it completely disappeared.

'Could it be... a new ability?'

Ian checked his ability panel and saw a new ability.

【Name: Color Changing】

【Star Rating: ★★★】

[Effect: Freely change the color of your skin]

[Comment: Why did I change color?]

'Changing color, that's the chameleon's signature skill.'

Ian released a lump of clay, the color of which changed according to his will.

'The effect is that it can create more realistic dolls?'

'The clay art I want isn't this kind of art!'

Is art just about using color?

Ian raised his right hand, and the little white dragon obediently jumped into his palm.

His index finger slowly traced the white dragon's body, his fingertip brushing against the white dragon scales.

The originally orderly arranged pale dragon scales have now transformed into a more majestic silver-gray.

Ian's finger finally stopped in front of the little white dragon's head.

To draw a dragon.

The finishing touch!

Ian gently touched the little white dragon's eyes, and those pure white dragon eyes suddenly turned into a sky-blue.

This action seemed to give the white dragon a true soul.

"what--"

The fledgling dragon cries out, its voice weak and feeble.

"Haha."

Ian couldn't help but smile as he channeled the power of the Clay Fruit into the white dragon's body.

The little white dragon, which was originally only the size of a house cat, rapidly expanded in size, like an inflating balloon.

One meter, five meters, ten meters...

In just a few breaths.

The little white dragon grew into a white giant dragon with a body length of nearly fifty meters!

The white dragon roared to the sky, its cry piercing the clouds and splitting the rocks.

"Roar--"

"It's a pity, clay is just clay after all."

With a wave of his right hand, Ian caused the white dragon to quickly shrink back to its original size.

"Such a white dragon has no true soul."

After a preliminary test of the color-changing effect, Ian was fairly satisfied.

After all, this ability was only obtained by wishing upon using a [Silver Treasure Chest], so we can't ask for more...

Ian has no intention of investing resources in the [color-changing] ability.

His current focus.

I just obtained the [Life Return]!

And Armament Haki and Observation Haki!

Especially its [domineering] aura!

Ian has just acquired these abilities, and they are all only at the level of "☆".

However, the scorching hell contains a large number of prisoners, each of whom is a "great pirate" with a bounty of over ten million Berries.

Based on the prisoner list, Ian selected some scum he didn't like and easily hunted down several [Silver Treasure Chests].

He invested these newly acquired silver chests into several abilities—

[Armament Haki/Observation Haki/Life Return: ★★★★]

"The upgrade limit for the Silver Treasure Chest is four stars."

A faint red light flashed in Ian's eyes as he quietly activated his Observation Haki to survey his surroundings.

"I need a higher-grade golden treasure chest!"

We need a stronger opponent!

"Jailer Beast!"

In Impel Down, Jailer Beasts have a very wide range of activities.

Even in the sixth level of Infinite Hell, one can occasionally see the figures of the Jailer Beasts.

Normally, the jailers of Impel Down do not actively restrict the daily activities of the Jailer Beasts.

Ian was pretty lucky.

His Observation Haki quickly spotted a Jailer Beast within the scorching hell.

Ian locked onto his target and rushed over immediately.

There are four Jailer Beasts in Impel Down—and there will be five in the future.

This time, Ian discovered a mino zebra.

This is a creature with a very unusual appearance.

It has long, wavy pink hair, but it holds a huge, spiked, ball-shaped mace.

Its body, from the abdomen to the waist, retains the appearance of a zebra.

Only the abdomen retains human characteristics—two rows of eight neatly arranged abdominal muscles.

"Except for its belly, it looks like a pink zebra walking upright..."

As Ian looked at the Mino zebra.

This jailer beast also spotted the humans.

In the simple mind of the jailer beast, there is no distinction between "jailer" and "prisoner".

Mino the zebra sniffed hard, almost inhaling the long string of snot hanging from its nose.

Its action was merely an attempt to identify Ian by smell.

I've confirmed the taste.

They are complete strangers.

Mino the zebra's previously blank stare suddenly turned fierce.

It took off on its two legs and charged forward, moving as fast as the wind.

"So fast!"

The thought had just crossed Ian's mind.
