Chapter 215: The Lava Giant Fruit
Hearing its words, Jiang Qize was already at a loss for what to say.
He hadn't expected that there were really beings who knew the history of the distant past.
"Kid, let me make a deal with you. When you have the ability to open this chain, I'll grant you one request."
The horned octopus looked at him and said.
"Anything?" Jiang Qize's eyes lit up.
If it really meant anything, then he'd basically gained an extra encyclopedia. An old monster that had lived for so long would surely know at least something about the other secrets of this world, right?
"Anything."
The horned octopus replied with certainty.
"Alright, I agree."
He immediately accepted.
Only an idiot would refuse something like this. There wasn't even a time limit. With his abilities, he was confident he could rescue it within ten years.
And ten years from now, he'd probably have already ruled the world.
"I'll wait here for your good news. Oh, right… let me give you a gift."
The horned octopus finished speaking.
Boom!
A massive tentacle rose up from the sea, sending seawater splashing everywhere.
The tentacle stopped in front of Jiang Qize, carrying a wooden box about half a meter wide.
"This is for me?"
Jiang Qize froze for a moment and asked in surprise.
Just what kind of charisma boost did he have? Even an ancient sea behemoth was giving him gifts. Did transmigrators really get perks like this?
"Yes. A Devil Fruit. It should be of some help to you."
The horned octopus said in a deep voice.
Jiang Qize felt surprised, but he still took the box and opened it.
Inside was only a single golden-yellow Devil Fruit. Its spiral patterns emitted a faint glow, and there wasn't even a trace of seawater on it.
He opened the system fusion interface and placed the Devil Fruit inside.
The fruit's name immediately appeared.
[Zoan-Type Human-Human Fruit · Mythical Zoan · Lava Giant Form]
Seeing that name, Jiang Qize's pupils suddenly contracted.
"A Mythical Zoan… and the Lava Giant form…"
His heart was filled with shock.
Just from the name, it was obvious that it was related to magma—and it was a giant, similar to Sengoku.
This fruit was an incredibly powerful one.
A Devil Fruit that had never appeared in the anime of his previous life was actually in the hands of this horned octopus.
So just how many powerful fruits were still undiscovered in this world?
He took a deep breath and nodded toward the horned octopus in thanks. "Thank you."
"Wuhahaha! Rescuing me from this prison will be the best thanks of all. Work hard, kid. You still have a very long road ahead of you…"
The horned octopus laughed loudly, then its massive body slowly sank, disappearing beneath the sea surface in no time.
The Dragon Flame gently rocked. Jiang Qize looked at the rippling sea, feeling deeply shaken.
He took a deep breath and shifted his gaze to the Devil Fruit in his hand.
"This Devil Fruit is just right for Canglong."
Canglong had always stayed underwater and never gone ashore, so he hadn't been much help in land battles.
This time, because he was worried about Akainu being exposed, Jiang Qize didn't plan to let Canglong sneak-attack the Navy and World Gov·ernment ships. The Lava Giant Fruit could let Canglong take on a human form and fight on land instead.
With Canglong's original Speed-Speed Fruit enhancement, combined with the Lava Fruit, facing two Admirals wouldn't be a problem at all.
If Akainu held back a bit as well, then unless the World Gov·ernment dispatched three Admirals, no one would be able to stop him.
This time, the Navy had only deployed Sengoku and Garp, along with three Vice Admiral–level candidates and many Rear Admirals. Excluding Akainu, that amounted to four Admiral-level combatants. Canglong could take on two or even three, while Raptorex could handle two.
Wind God could deal with one or two more, and together with Ba wang, himself, and his subordinates—
There was no way they wouldn't be able to weather this.
Just thinking about it made him instantly excited.
