Chapter 20 - Chaotic Sea

"System, open my Status Window!"

"Ding~"

[Name: Barbarossa Kaishu]

[Race: Oni]

[Identity: Captain of the Beasts Pirates]

[Talent: Reinforced Iron Bones, Ghost Body]

[Devil Fruit: Human-Human Fruit, Model: Ogre(+)]

[Haki: Conqueror Haki (Intermediate), Armament Haki (advanced), Observation Haki (advanced).]

[Captain's exclusive ability: True Sight, commander]

[Influence level: 0]

[Evolution source: 15]

Without Xebecs' suppression, his mind became clearer, and his Conqueror Haki improved to an intermediate level.

Kaishu's Racial talent was also awakened in advance because of the power of his Devil Fruit.

Only powerful Oni's can awaken the racial talent 'Ghost body.'

(Ghost body: Extremely powerful self-recovery ability and the internal organs also have weak resistance to damage)

Kaishu looked at the 15 evolution sources and decided to wait.

He doesn't know what will happen once the Devil Fruit evolves, so it's not too late to use it after finishing the work here and finding a suitable place for training.

Then, Kaishu looked at Kaido and King, who were packing the loot.

After having the 'True Sight,' he can see the ability and loyalty of his subordinates.

[Name: Barbarossa Kaido]

[Race: Oni]

[Identity: Deputy Captain of the Beasts Pirates]

[Loyalty: 95/100]

[Talent: Ghost Body]

[Devil Fruit: Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon(+)]

[Haki: Conqueror Haki (Primary), Armament Haki (advanced), Observation Haki (Intermediate).]

"System, Does Kaido's devil fruit can be evolved?"

Suddenly, Kaishu found that Kaido's Devil Fruit was the same as his, with a plus sign behind it.

"Ding~ Crew members who are related to the host through blood, their Mythical-Zoan Devil Fruit can evolve once!"

"The Host himself can evolve twice on the basis of Mythical-Zoan Devil Fruit!"

Kaishu couldn't help being a little surprised. The Mythical-Zoan Devil Fruit is already the rarest and strongest batch of Devil Fruit in the World of One Piece.

To what extent will the upper limit increase for the Mythical-Zoan Devil Fruit that evolves once?

Kaishu couldn't help looking forward to it!

Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, he looked at King again.

[Name: Alber (King)]

[Race: Lunarian]

[Identity: Crew member of the Beasts Pirates]

[Loyalty: 90/100]

[Talent: Burning Flame]

[Devil Fruit: None]

[None: None]

Burning Flame: The body produces flames that have a certain degree of attack. The stronger the flames burn, the higher the defense; when the flames disappear, their speed will be greatly improved, but at the same time, their defense will also decrease.

"Captain, everything is packed up. We better leave as soon as possible. We don't know when Marine's reinforcements will arrive."

King walked to Kaishu's feet, and then he pointed to the large pile of instruments and various trophies while speaking.

"Then let's go!"

Withdrawing his attention from the system interface, Kaishu grasped King's clothes and lifted him up. 

"Captain, I feel ashamed if you do this." King waved his limbs and said resistingly.

Kaishu smiled heartily: "Who told you to be so short…"

"hateful!!"

"Let's go, Kaido!"

"Understood, old bastard."

Kaido turned into a 100-meter-long Azure Dragon that stands proudly in mid-air.

"Boom!"

While holding King, Kaishu stomped hard on the ground, and then his huge body soared into the sky.

"Dragon! Kaido becomes a dragon!" King's eyes widened in horror.

Afterward, the diffuse flame cloud lifted all the trophies that were sorted together into the sky.

"Set off!"

"Roar--"

With a high-pitched dragon roar, the eastern dragon walked on the clouds and soared straight up into the sky.

...

On the other side, At the Marine headquarters, Marineford.

At the newly appointed office, Admiral Sengoku wears black-rimmed glasses, his long beard is braided into a goatee with his mustache trimmed, and a military cap with a seagull symbolizing Marine.

At this moment, he was holding a piece of paper with a frown.

"Kach~"

"Garp, please calm down."

On the sofa, Garp, who still has black hair, is eating donuts recklessly.

"Hahahahaha, Sengoku, I'm about to break the record for eating the most donuts in one minute."

Garp, who was in his prime, laughed heartlessly: "Ah, how many have I eaten? Hahahaha, it's time to start again."

"You bastard."

Sengoku ignored him with a headache, then he looked at the latest information from New World: "The No. 7 secret scientific research base on Letifre Island was attacked by 'Evil Ghost' Kaishu and 'Azure Dragon' Kaido, the commander of the marine base, G-3, Vice-Admiral Jesse led the Marines on the base to support the situation, but the entire army was eventually annihilated, the No. 7 secret scientific research base was destroyed, a large amount of equipment and materials were taken away. Moreover, a Lunarian experimental subject was also taken away!"

"The remnants of the Rocks Pirate are becoming more and more active. Newgate formed the Whitebeard Pirates and sank three of our warships; Shiki formed the Flying Pirates and attacked the New World allied countries; Charlotte Linlin established The Big Mom Pirates."

"Now, the Barbarossa brothers are directly attacking the secret scientific research base of the world Government."

"The sea is really getting more and more chaotic!"

Sengoku said with an ugly expression after thinking for a while.

Although he had just been promoted to Admiral, Fleet Admiral Kong was already starting to train him as the next Fleet Admiral.

So, a lot of work will be delegated to Sengoku for him to handle.

"Hahahaha, young people nowadays are really capable!" Garp laughed again.

"Shut up, you old bastard. Don't stay with me when you have time, and go back to work soon."

"Hahaha, but Sengoku, why did those Barbarossa brothers attack a secret scientific research base? They don't look like people who value such things."

Garp laughed nonchalantly, but he stopped eating donuts, and his eyes twinkled slightly.

"Sure enough, even you, an old bastard, noticed it." Sengoku pondered for a moment and said: "They should be targeting that Lunarian experimental subject."

"If my guess is right..."

"The two brothers should also start recruiting subordinates, as they want to participate in the competition for the new overlord of the sea!"

Garp's smile was restrained, and his gaze was lowered as he spoke: "The Rocks fell, but they also attracted a group of ambitious guys, the sea became more chaotic, Ka—"

Finally, Garp took a big bite out of the donut.

"And Roger, that restless guy!"

Garp stood up straight away and said, "I'm going to catch Roger!"

"Come back, don't act on your own!" Sengoku yelled angrily.

"Ahahahaha...don't worry, the credit will be yours when the time comes!"

Garp touched the top of his head with a silly smile before walking out quickly while ignoring Sengoku, who was roaring inside the office.
