Pirates: Rush to the Peak

"What the hell is this volcanic eruption? Open your dog eyes and take a good look. This is your captain's sky-burning flame!"

As soon as the Golden Lion finished speaking, the column of flame energy suddenly expanded, all the clouds in the sky were burned away, and the entire island began to tremble slightly.

"boom!!!"

Suddenly there was a loud bang, and the collapsed ruins suddenly exploded. A hundred-meter-long dragon rose into the air from the ground, holding a golden bat statue in its claws.

"Asshole, when others go tomb raiding or adventure and encounter ruins collapse, they will at least tremble for a while. But this crappy place is so bad, it all came down with a loud bang. If it weren't for my quick reaction, we wouldn't have to go out to sea, and we would have just buried our bones here together."

Robin stood on Kuro's head, holding Kuro's dragon horns with both hands. She couldn't help laughing when she heard Kuro's unpleasant complaints.

"Haha, this is not the ruins' fault. I just realized it when I came out. Your foot directly collapsed the mechanical pillar under the floor, causing the entire ruins to lose its support. In this case, the roof above must have fallen down directly."

"Hmph, so it's my fault..."

"Okay, calm down, luckily these two things are not damaged, right?"

Robin used the power of the fruit to create two arms and shook the golden treasure chest in his hand.

"The stuff is fine, but the same cannot be said for the bat cubs. They are probably smashed to pieces."

Kuro shook his head and looked at the collapsed ruins below with regret. The experimental subjects were gone.

Kuro carried Robin and flew directly back to the shore where the ship was docked. The crew members were waiting for them on the deck.

"The Captain is back!"

When everyone saw the captain coming back, they immediately surrounded him.

"Where did you get this, Captain?"

"Oh my god, this is too big. A piece this big must be worth a lot of money."

"This thing is incredible. If we sell it, we should be able to exchange it for a lot of gold."

"Yeah, there aren't many fools who would trade gold for gold, and you're one of them, a bastard."

The crew members were all very curious when they saw the golden bat statue in Kuro's hand, and two crew members from the War Beast Group started fighting while talking.

The companions around them pushed the two men aside.

Kuro descended from the sky and threw the golden bat statue on the deck. There was a loud duang sound and the whole ship shook!

"Good boy, you went out to have fun with your wife, and you brought back such a big treasure after the event."

The golden lion walked over and patted the golden statue. He wanted to confirm whether the golden statue was solid or hollow. He knocked for a long time, but there was no other sound except the knocking sound.

The Golden Lion directly activated the ability of the fruit, and the golden statue floated up. The Golden Lion looked at the bottom of the golden statue and found that it was completely solid, and couldn't help but be secretly amazed.

He had seen countless golden statues, but this was the first time he had seen such a huge golden statue.

Measuring it with my eyes, I found that the height of the creature alone was nearly twenty meters, not to mention its wings which were even larger than its body.

"Where did you get this?"

"There is a ruin deep inside this island, and this thing is placed on the altar."

“It’s still an antique.”

The golden lion looked up and down at the golden bat statue, and Kuro turned and walked towards Robin. The crew members around saw the captain leave and immediately gathered under the golden statue.

"Senior Golden Lion, please take this golden statue down for us to see."

"Yes, senior, I haven't seen this before."

"It's so bright, it blinded my eyes!!!"

Kuro listened to the crew members having fun, but he didn't have time to talk to them about the golden statue.

Walking up to Robin and taking the golden treasure chest from her hand, Kuro knew that this thing was the real protagonist.

The Red Earl was not as curious about the golden statue as the Golden Lion, but stood aside and watched the crew members' antics with a smile.

"Did you bring this back from the ruins as well? The jewelry box?"

When the Red Earl saw the golden treasure chest in Kuro's hand, he thought it was a box containing jewelry.

"I'm not sure what's inside now. I'll have to open it to find out."

Kuro scratched his face and studied the golden treasure chest in his hand. He searched the golden treasure chest up and down and left and right for a while, but he couldn't find the keyhole of the treasure chest.

Not only that, the gaps on the golden treasure chest were re-poured.

From a distance, it looked as if what he was holding was not a golden treasure chest, but a piece of gold inlaid with gems.

"Then just open it and take a look."

"I want to, too, but I've been looking for it for a long time and it seems there's no place to open it. Is it just for viewing?"

In Kuro's opinion, the golden treasure chest should contain the devil fruit, but after searching for a long time, he was not even sure whether this was the box.

"show me."

Kuro threw the golden treasure chest in his hand to the Red Earl. The old man also searched for a long time, even closing his eyes and constantly touching every part of the treasure chest, but he still couldn't find a way to open it.

"Stop looking for it! Just break this damn thing open!"

When Kuro saw that the Red Earl didn't notice it either, he immediately pulled out the Budu Soul in anger.

The blood-red blade had a faint dark glow. Ever since it absorbed Kong Gang's soul that day, Butu Yuhun had fallen into a deep sleep and had not awakened until now.

During this period, Kuro also asked about Buddoh in the Moon Snake form, and the answer he got was that it was digesting.

Fortunately, even if it is asleep, it does not affect the sharpness of Budu Yuhun.

"Old Red, throw it over here!"

Upon hearing this, the Red Earl raised his hand and threw the golden treasure chest into the air.

Kuro held the Butsu-mimuri in his hand and slashed it directly into the air.

The slash easily passed through the golden treasure chest, just like a person's head being shaved, and the top of the chest was cut directly open.

Kuro held the blade level and caught the remaining treasure chest steadily.

With a clang, the golden lid fell to the ground. Kuro looked down at the things in the box, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

"After searching for so long, I finally found it!"

In the center of the golden treasure chest, there was a purple-bodied, green-petaled devil fruit, with golden threads wrapped around the fruit to hold it securely inside.

"What is there to make you so happy?"

The Red Earl came over and asked curiously.

Kuro didn't keep the man in suspense. He reached out, tore the golden thread, took the devil fruit out, and then presented it to the Red Earl for him to see.

"Devil Fruit?"

"Yes, this is the Bat-Bat Fruit, the Mythical Beast, the Vampire Form that I told you about, which can restore youth and bring people back to their peak state!"

As soon as Kuro finished speaking, the golden lion flashed to his side, staring at the devil fruit in Kuro's hand.
