Bat-Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan! Fish-Man Island in the Deep Sea (Begging for Monthly Tickets!)

Doflamingo is certainly very familiar with Ancient Script!

Although he had long since used his abilities to reshape that red Poneglyph into something unrecognizable to anyone.

However, when he first obtained that stone, he painstakingly removed pieces from it to make armor.

He sees the writing on the stone almost every day.

Although he still couldn't understand it, that didn't stop Doflamingo from simply feeling familiar with the text.

He could, of course, recognize at a glance, that the characters carved on the wall were Ancient Script Poneglyph text.

Dylan was also surprised, "Boss, could this also be a Poneglyph?"

But this is completely different from the Poneglyph we've seen before.

Is it possible to have such Poneglyph simply carved on an ordinary wall?

"The script is indeed Ancient Script, but it has absolutely no connection to the Poneglyph."

As Roa responded casually, he carefully examined the words, which had become slightly blurred over the passage of countless years.

Sure enough, this is the place.

In the game, Redfield had to use the transformation leaf of the Tanuki Fruit to create Nico Robin, and then have the imposter who inherited the real Robin's memories help him unlock the secrets of the ruins before he finally found the fruit.

The secret that only Robin could unlock was, of course, the Ancient Script.

So, this is indeed the place.

What great luck! I only intended to go to Fish-Man Island, but I ended up passing through Suigu Town instead!

Speaking of which, the area around Suigu Town should be located at the beginning of the New World.

After all, when the Straw Hat Pirates encountered the Crimson Count in the game, Luffy didn't even use Gear Fourth.

Destiny, you've really spoiled me.

Roa thought to himself, "Since we're already here, why not just send over the Tanuki Fruit as well? That fruit's power is simply heaven-defying."

While lost in thought, Roa deciphered the Ancient Script on the wall in front of him.

Although he had already learned these skills from Kozuki Sukiyaki, this was his first time actually using them in real combat, so Roa inevitably stumbled a bit.

Fortunately, there wasn't much writing on the wall, and the grammar wasn't too difficult.

Soon, Roa nodded with an expression that said, "I understand everything."

"Boss, what exactly is recorded here?"

Dylan knew that Roa had the ability to decipher Ancient Script, so after realizing that Boss had already deciphered the texts, he immediately and considerately asked him.

"Snort."

Roa chuckled softly, "The point where the shadows of the statue intersect when the full moon's light falls is where the demonic power resides."

"Ah?"

Doflamingo blinked blankly. "Does that mean there's some other treasure buried here?"

Etc!

How did Roa know that?

He knew there were ruins here, which is why he left. But how did he also know there was something else inside?

"But, the idol?"

Bege looked at the piles of rubble that had collapsed and crumbled to the ground along the walls of the temple, where only parts of the rubble could be vaguely discerned.

"Where did these idols come from? Didn't they all collapse a long time ago?"

"In that case,"

Dylan frowned. "How are we supposed to find it?"

"Isn't it simple?"

Roa smiled. "Doflamingo, use your abilities to survey the entire surface."

Regardless of how Red found the fruit in the original story, Roa felt it was actually a fairly simple matter.

"Oh! I understand!"

Doflamingo nodded instantly in understanding, "No matter where it's buried, it's definitely nearby!"

The difficulty isn't in digging up the treasure buried underground, but in knowing that there's treasure here!

Now that we know, things are much easier.

Doflamingo immediately activated his ability, and purple light instantly spread from his feet in all directions.

The Combination Fruit can combine all inanimate objects, making it perfect for treasure hunting.

Doflamingo didn't even need to piece together the ground covered by his ability to easily discover the secrets beneath the surface.

At this moment, he simply continued to use his ability, then strolled through the temple, letting the purple light continuously permeate the ground beneath his feet.

Soon.

"Found it!"

Doflamingo suddenly stopped in his tracks. "There really is something down there!"

The power of the Combination Fruit was activated further, and the ground began to twist and deform.

A small treasure chest slowly emerged from the purple substance.

"Is this it, Boss?"

Doflamingo chuckled, but obediently handed the treasure chest to Roa.

"Very good."

Roa praised him with satisfaction.

It certainly didn't disappoint me.

Taking the treasure chest, Roa slowly reached out and opened it, revealing a purple fruit covered in spiral patterns, its overall shape resembling an apple.

Devil Fruit?

Standing next to Roa, Dylan immediately spotted the fruit inside the box. "Does the so-called 'devil power' refer to the power of Devil Fruit?"

"A fruit that would have gone to such lengths to hide in ancient times must have been no ordinary fruit, right?"

Abel said.

Roa picked up the fruit and weighed it lightly. "Bat-Bat Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Vampire form, that's pretty impressive, isn't it?"

Mythical Zoan?

Everyone's expression subtly changed.

Even Bege and Moria, country bumpkins who had just arrived in the New World from the countryside, knew what Mythical Zoan truly meant.

That's an even rarer type of Devil Fruit than Logia, the kind most suitable for true masters.

"What a pity."

Roa shook his head. "Everyone here is already a Devil Fruit user; this fruit has no one to rely on anymore."

Among his subordinates, only one was not a Devil Fruit user: Judge.

But wouldn't it be such a waste to give this fruit to Judge?

This Vampire Fruit truly possesses the power to grant immortality.

By absorbing the blood of others, one can steal their youth, thereby turning back time and becoming young again!

Of course, Roa wasn't interested in that; he was never going to get old anyway.

"Let's keep it for now,"

"Let's see when we meet the right person," Roa said.

Who is it?

Who is the most suitable person to use this Devil Fruit?

The subordinates naturally had no objections to Roa's decision.

In fact, they were still in a state of astonishment as to why the Boss recognized the name of the fruit at a glance.

It must have been at sea for at least several hundred years.

"Let's go back and continue our journey to Fish-Man Island."

Having obtained the fruit, there was naturally no reason to stay on the island any longer.

Soon, the Giant Snail returned to the sea and joined the snail colony that had remained overseas. The fleet was assembled and headed back towards the Red Line without looking back.

The residents of Suigu Town were still bewildered, not understanding what had happened.

Was that legendary pirate, whom they believed should only exist in legends, simply someone who wanted to visit the ruins on this island?

Fortunately, only some houses were damaged.

Shortly after leaving Suigu Town, a red wall of sighs appeared in front of the Snail Fleet.

"Wow! Is this the Red Line?"

"That's absolutely spectacular!" exclaimed Roa.

The towering Red Wall stretch upwards to the clouds and outwards to the horizon.

You can't see its edges, nor its top.

The blood-stained serpent from the legends of the giants, the Red Line that divides the world, is now right before our eyes!

"How many years has it been since I last saw it?"

Dylan couldn't help but sigh.

Like Roa, he was born on the Grand Line, but unlike Roya, he was born in the first half of the Grand Line.

I did see the Red Line once when I first came to the New World.

However, when it comes to having the most dealings with the Red Line, it has to be Judge.

Having worked as a mercenary for many years, he frequently travels Four Seas, and the Giant Snail have crossed the Red Line countless times.

Oh, and there's Doflamingo too.

"Well, Doflamingo, do you remember what's up here?"

Roa asked with great interest.

Doflamingo's eyes suddenly became somewhat dazed.

Above is the area where Mary Geoise is located, the place where he lived until he was eight years old.

As for whether I miss it or not, of course I do.

If they could be Celestial Dragons, who would want to be here giving Roa a dog?

But.

The moment Doflamingo saw the smile on Roa's face, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

"That kind of thing,"

He quickly replied nonchalantly, "I've already completely forgotten about it!"

Bege and Moria, the two newcomers, were somewhat surprised. According to Roa, did Doflamingo live on the Red Line?

Bege asked, somewhat curiously.

Then.

"Huh? Celestial Dragons?!"

Both of them looked on incredulously.

Is this guy actually Celestial Dragons?

Roa has a Celestial Dragons among his subordinates!!

At the same time, Roa looked at Abel, whose expression was also somewhat complicated, and asked, "Your ancestors once lived on this place, didn't they?"

The Lunarian were once known as a race of gods, and they lived on the Red Line.

"That was a very, very long time ago, Boss,"

"It's been so long that nobody remembers what happened back then," Abel sighed.

No, Imu definitely remembers.

Roa patted him on the shoulder and made a promise, "Once we've dealt with the World Government, we'll Lunarian thrive again on the Red Line."

"You can definitely do what you say!"

Abel's tone was firm.

Because the Boss is none other than Joy Boy, Lunarian have been waiting for!

Who else could it be but the Boss?

You should keep going too.

Roa offered another word of encouragement.

Abel really needs to work hard to Lunarian thrives.

Don't end up like Sasuke next door, talking about revitalizing the Uchiha clan but rarely home, almost causing his wife to become a lesbian. It's only because the Raikage is a decent man, otherwise... tsk...

"Alright, enough with the sighs."

Roa turned around, "Judge!"

"Here comes the boss!"

Judge rushed over, "The ship is ready!"

Roa perked up as soon as he heard Judge's words.

Are you perhaps a scientist who's been pushing himself to improve?

Fortunately, no naval warships suddenly appeared and unleashed a barrage of fire on Roa.

A uniquely shaped ship slowly circled around from behind the snail and finally stopped in front of Roa and the others.

The overall structure is a rounded, elongated ellipsoid, fully enclosed, and equipped with portholes and gun muzzles.

The stern features a propeller and a rudder.

Overall, its design is very similar to the submarine from Roa's previous life.

It's not very big, only about fifty meters long, and compared to the Giant Snail, it can only be described as small and cute.

"Time is limited, this is the most we can do!"

Judge, with dark circles under his eyes, spoke up, "But its strength is absolutely sufficient to dive to a depth of ten thousand meters. Even the immense pressure at the deepest point on the ocean floor would not be able to twist the ship's hull!"

In his previous life, Roa would have exclaimed in astonishment at this incredible technology. The materials used to construct the ship's hull were simply defying the heavens. What's even more outrageous is that this ship was handcrafted by Judge in just a few weeks.

But this is the world of One Piece, so Roa simply commented casually, "Hmm, not bad. Keep up the good work and build an even more powerful one next time."

Although Giant Snail can roam the Four Seas, even the Red Line cannot stop their progress.

However, Fish-Man Island is the only place they cannot reach.

That's why this submarine is needed.

"Yes!"

Roa's words weren't even a compliment, but Judge was unusually excited.

"In short, let's set off. Our destination: Fish-Man Island."

The group entered the small submarine, and Judge, as the designer, took over as the Judge and personally steered the ship.

As for the snails, they only need to climb to the middle of the Red Line and hide, and no one can find them.

Then, the submarine submerged.

During the final battle of God Valley, Roa also submerged into the sea.

But that time, in order to escape, Roa didn't have time to observe his surroundings.

This time it's different.

As the submarine slowly descended, Roa could clearly see the scene beneath the sea through the porthole.

Sunlight shines through the sea, making the clear ocean seem almost transparent, and the fish of all sizes in the water appear to be flying.

Is it meant to mean "as if floating in the air without anything to rely on"?

"Not bad at all."

Roa nodded in affirmation.

Even someone like Bullet's expression changed slightly at the sight, and Abel and Dylan shared the same astonishment as Roa.

As for Doflamingo and Bege, those two brats, they were exclaiming in surprise.

However, the beautiful scenery did not last long. As the diving depth increased rapidly, the light gradually disappeared, and the submarine was plunged into absolute darkness.

Judge could only turn on the lights to illuminate the surrounding sea.

This behavior immediately attracted monsters that lived in the deep sea.

Even though the ship's hull was inlaid with Seastone, it didn't mean that it could completely prevent monsters from spying on it.

"Get out of here, all of you!"

Roa cursed in annoyance.

The surging force instantly penetrated the ship's hull, triggering a powerful undercurrent in the deep sea.

The monsters that had come towards the light instinctively fled in panic.

Therefore, the descent process became very smooth.

The submarine quickly descended to the deepest part of the ocean, where the seabed was clearly visible in the lights.

In front of the submarine, at the bottom of the Red Line, was a huge, exaggeratedly large hole.

This is the underwater passage connecting the two sections of the Grand Line.

The submarine headed directly into the hole.

There's no need for a pointer; just follow the path.

The voyage had been going on for quite a while, so long that Roa had started to yawn, when suddenly a glimmer of light appeared in the pitch-black depths of the sea ahead.

The further you go, the brighter the light becomes.

Soon, an island enveloped in a giant bubble and bathed in light streaming down from above appeared before Roa and the others.

Fish-Man Island, we've arrived.

What Roa didn't know was that shortly before them, another group of people had arrived at Fish-Man Island along the same route.

"Hahaha! Neptune, long time no see!"

"Roger, what are you doing here again?"

It's the last day! Any remaining monthly passes? Give them a try!
