Pirates: Rush to the Peak

"I'm really curious about where you found the living moon snake."

“Is this creature rare?”

"To be honest, before I saw it today, I had only seen it in a logbook. Do you think it is rare?"

The golden lion looked at Kuro with eyes full of envy and a sense of jealousy as to why did you have such a fate.

"Logbook? Whose logbook is it? Is that person still alive? How does the logbook describe it? Is there any detailed information?"

Kuro ignored the strange look of the golden lion and asked several questions in an urgent tone.

"That logbook is from a long time ago. I found it by chance when I was destroying another pirate group."

"The owner of that thing should be a geologist. He went out to sea to look for seastone."

The Golden Lion did not make things difficult for Kuro. He floated to a chair, picked up the drink on the table and took a sip.

"Hai Lou Shi?"

"Yes, it's seastone. The purpose of that guy going out to sea is to find seastone veins. He even wants to artificially create seastone."

"Can seastone be manufactured?"

"Who knows? But that guy failed. In the end, he only knew the origin of seastone, but nothing else."

After saying this, Golden Lion leisurely took a sip of the drink in his hand. Robin was really partial. He only gave such delicious drink to Kuro.

"What does that have to do with this guy?"

Kuro pointed at Budu Yuhun in confusion.

"How can it be irrelevant? The two are very closely related."

"The crystal on top of this guy's head is the mother of seastone. Moon snakes will burrow into the ground before they die. After they die, the crystal will infect the surrounding rocks and eventually turn into seastone veins."

Kuro looked surprised when he heard what the golden lion said.

"This guy is actually a living seastone?"

He looked down at the sleeping moon snake on the ground. He didn't expect that this creature was so rare. He always thought it was just a weird little snake.

Budu Yuhun felt Kuro's gaze, opened his eyes in confusion, raised his snake head and spit out his tongue.

"Is there anything I can do for you, Master?"

"You can actually speak?"

Butu Yuhun's sudden voice startled the Golden Lion. In that diary, creatures like the Moon Snake had some intelligence but not much. So why could this end of Kuro speak?

"If your ears are not deaf then I am talking."

Budu Yuhun rudely rebuked the golden lion. The other person is chatting with his master, why are you, a guy with golden light on your head, butting in?

"Qiang!!!"

"Fuck me!"

A slash brushed past Butsu Yuhun's head and flew away. If he hadn't dodged in time, his body would have been destroyed!

"You guy!"

The blue eyes of Butsu Yuhun (Moon Snake) instantly turned red, and the aura of murderous intent permeated the space.

The crystal above his head shone brightly, instantly sealing the ability of the Golden Lion's Floating Fruit.

"How can it be."

"Om~"

The Golden Lion's expression changed drastically. The island ship floating in the air suddenly lost its ability to float and began to fall downwards!

"Budu Yuhun, quickly restore this guy's fruit ability, we are still ten thousand meters in the sky!"

Kuro saw that many crew members had already flown up, and hurriedly said to Budu Yuhun.

Another crystal light flashed, and the Golden Lion's fruit ability was restored. The Golden Lion stomped his foot on the ground.

The falling island ship stopped in the air instantly, and the flying crew members all fell on the deck.

"Captain, what happened just now?"

Tisza and Bart hurried over to ask.

"Golden Lion has made a new breakthrough in his fruit ability. He was just testing it. Go check and see if anyone is injured."

Tisza and Bart took the order and went down to patrol the entire ship to see if there were any injured companions.

When he turned around, the golden lion was observing the snake body of Butu Yuhun.

"What are you doing?"

"Kuro, there's something wrong with the moon snake you caught."

"What is the problem?"

"This guy can actually seal the power of a devil fruit. There is no record of this in that diary."

The golden lion stroked his chin and looked Butu Yuhun up and down carefully.

"Did the guy who wrote the diary encounter a living moon snake?"

"No, that guy just found the body of a moon snake that had been dead for a while and had just assimilated the surrounding rocks when he found the seastone vein."

"That's right. Creatures like moon snakes should be born with this ability, so the seastone they derive from can seal the power of devil fruits."

"What you said really makes sense."

"By the way, where did you put that diary? I want to see it."

"I threw that thing to Kaido. I'm not interested in seastone, but Kaido is very curious, so I threw it to him."

Kuro was very surprised to hear what Golden Lion said. How come he didn't know that Golden Lion and Kaido had such a deep friendship? That was a seastone vein, and it was given to him just by saying so.

"Are you on good terms with Kaido?"

"Not good, but I can't say it's bad. When he was in the Rocks Pirates, that guy was very famous among the trainees. At that time, Linlin, Whitebeard, and Wang Zhi, each of us wanted to form our own pirate group, so we all extended olive branches to Kaido. Linlin even gave him a fruit with powerful abilities."

When the golden lion mentioned the fruit, he looked up at Kuro.

"By the way, why do you have the same fruit ability as Kaido? You can also use Whitebeard's ability. What kind of fruit ability are you?"

"Secret."

"Tsk, I don't want to listen either."

After saying this, Golden Lion finished the drink in the cup, looking unsatisfied, and stood up to leave.

"Why are you going?"

"Ask Robin to make me another cup. You are so lucky to have such a skilled woman serving you."

After saying this, the Golden Lion floated into the cabin. Kuro looked at his wooden legs and wondered whether he should ask Vegapunk to make him a pair of human legs.

"Let's talk about it when we have a chance."

Kuro thought about it and decided to contact Vegapunk after some time. He guessed that guy must be sad about eliminating Big Bear's consciousness right now.

"Gyu-ghost, Satan-sage, surgery fruit, immortal surgery."

Kuro muttered these words, but his eyes looking at Budu Yuhun became clearer and clearer.

"Haha, I didn't expect that I would accidentally find a murderous poison."

Kuro reached out and touched the snake body of Budu Yuhun. It was cool and comfortable.
