"A very vast mysterious power, of the same nature as Devil Fruits, the quantity is 1. The distance is approximately 500 meters, the direction is..."
Without saying a word, Vladimir immediately headed towards the target.
Ten minutes later, Vladimir turned seven corners and eight turns, finally locking onto a stone chamber.
The stone door was tall, a full eighty meters in size. Standing in front of the stone door, Vladimir seemed very small.
Without hesitation, Vladimir reached out and pressed on the stone door, attempting to push it open.
However, no matter how hard he tried, the huge stone door didn't budge.
"What a heavy door, no wonder there aren't any guards."
Vladimir took a deep breath, and again exerted force.
This time, black dragon scales appeared on his arm. In a half-transformed state, his power increased countless times.
Crack crack crack!
Amid the muffled sound, the stone door was finally pushed open.
With a flash, Vladimir quickly entered, and what came into view was a high platform.
On the high platform was a stone vessel, and inside the vessel was a Devil Fruit, completely orange-yellow.
Different from ordinary Devil Fruits, this Devil Fruit was comparable to a large watermelon, several times larger than a normal Devil Fruit.
"Devil Fruits can actually be this big?"
Vladimir murmured softly, then with a leap, jumped up, standing on the edge of the vessel's mouth. Vladimir reached out and took out the Devil Fruit inside.
"Illusion, are you sure it's real?"
"Confirmed. The mysterious power it contains also exceeds ordinary Devil Fruits, approximately 3 times!" The Illusion Gene said.
"In other words, one is equivalent to three?"
"You could say that."
Vladimir immediately felt that this trip hadn't been in vain.
Now he had 1 Devil Fruit in his hand, and adding this one, it would be equivalent to 4 Devil Fruits. After getting Shanks' 3, he would have 7, very close to the goal of 12.
"Very good, I feel like I can gather them all soon!"
Five-Star Sea Dragon, Zero-Form Transformation God!
Just as he was thinking, suddenly, footsteps came from outside the stone chamber, and then a figure walked in.
"Put that thing down, outsider!"
Vladimir looked towards the sound, and saw the old woman he had seen in the plaza earlier, who had arrived at the door at some point.
"Although I don't know who you are, it's useless for you to take it. Humans cannot eat this kind of special Devil Fruit. They'll die if they eat it."
The old woman didn't seem very angry, but instead advised softly.
Vladimir raised his eyebrows, saying, "You know about 'Devil Fruits'?"
The old woman smiled, saying, "I'm old, and I've seen a lot, so I naturally know. You call it Devil Fruit, here, it's called 'Cursed Fruit'. Outsider, although I don't know how you came to Tontatta, if you want to take it away, I advise you not to bother."
"That won't do. I must take it away."
Vladimir said calmly, saying, "It's useless for ordinary people, but it's very useful to me."
"This Dragon?" The old woman paused, saying, "Who are you?"
After a moment of silence, Vladimir laughed, saying, "I'm from 'Phantom', one of the executives..."
Before he could finish speaking, that old woman blurted out, saying, "The Master of the Ocean?!"
"You even know my name here?"
Vladimir found it incredible. Weren't the giants here closed off from information?
The old woman's expression wasn't very good, seeming very grave.
"Of course I know. A great pirate with a bounty of 1 billion, a Four Emperor-level powerhouse, the Master of the Ocean, Sea Dragon! Is this your human form?"
The old woman said in a deep voice, saying, "Even if you're a Four Emperor, you can't take it away! I'll risk my life to stop you!"
Hearing this, Vladimir shook his head, and with a shake of his body, transformed into a hundred-meter giant dragon.
Roar!
Dragon's majesty was awe-inspiring, suppressing everything.
"It's useless to say more, let's fight!"
"It's useless to say more, let's fight!"
The Sea Dragon spoke human words, and with a sway of his body, he fiercely darted towards the old woman.
Since he had already gotten the thing, he had no interest in continuing to stay on this island. He had to quickly leave here and head to Shanks sea area to get the three Devil Fruits there, which were even more important.
Seeing this, the elderly giant named Baba immediately changed her expression, and said in a low voice, "You're crazy, Sea Dragon! I didn't deceive you. Humans who eat it will explode and die! Even if you're a dragon, the probability of death is extremely high! The reason it's called 'Cursed Fruit' is because..."
Before she could finish speaking, Vladimir laughed loudly, saying, "Are you stupid? I'm the Ocean Dragon, how could I eat Devil Fruits!"
He would have to be crazy to eat Devil Fruits, giving himself a weakness. If the Sea Dragon couldn't move in the sea, what kind of Sea Dragon would he be?
Just like many fish-men would never eat Devil Fruits, Vladimir also had this kind of concern.
Moreover, this kind of weakness would probably affect the main body, and then all the transformations would fear seawater, and that would be fun.
"Then what's your purpose in getting it?" Baba asked in a deep voice.
"I have nothing to tell you!"
Vladimir didn't say more, and immediately forcefully charged forward.
On the dragon's head, a pair of dragon horns opened the way.
