Mythical Zoan: Tengu Form!

"Shiki, you're talking about Roger!"

Kaido instantly became excited at the mention of Roger.

All her smugness and anger towards Shiki were left behind; now she only cared about that man!

Golden Lion was not surprised by Kaido's reaction; after all, that was Roger!

Even Roa couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder she's the number one succubus in One Piece, look Big Brother Kaido."

"That's right! Roger!"

Mentioning Roger, Golden Lion's tone became increasingly impassioned, "That guy has been wandering all over the world all these years, seemingly searching for something. I've been looking for him, but to no avail."

Roa certainly knew what Roger was looking for.

When Roger Pirates arrived at Water Seven Island, they, like everyone else who had ever been to that island, found that there was no way forward.

The magnetic field became chaotic, and the Log Pose could no longer indicate direction.

However, unlike others who believed that Water Seven Island was the end of the Grand Line and that the Great Treasure didn't exist, Roger somehow learned about the existence of the Road Poneglyph and embarked on a new journey to travel the world in search of those stones.

Wouldn't that make them appear and disappear like ghosts?

"But not long ago,"

Golden Lion gave Roa, who was perched atop Kaido, a deep look. "While I was looking for you, I stumbled upon traces of the Roger Pirates. Although it's not completely confirmed yet, it should be soon."

"Oh! That means,"

Roa instantly reverted to human form, sheathed his twin swords, and stroked his chin, saying, "Uncle Shiki, are you planning to wipe out the Roger Pirates?"

"Wipe out?"

The Golden Lion sneered, "As long as Roger becomes my right-hand man, this world will be ours in an instant!"

Wow, what a jerk! I just said that to myself.

So, Roger really is your true love?

"You think you can take me, Shiki?"

Upon hearing this, Kaido immediately let out a cold laugh, "Back then, even that bastard Rocks couldn't do anything to Roger Rocks."

"That's why I need Roa's help!"

Golden Lion looked at Roa, "In the end, the reason why the Roger Pirates are so troublesome is because, besides Roger, there are also those two bastards, Rayleigh and Gaban. Once we can deal with them, what are the Roger Pirates anyway?"

That's a bit of an overstatement.

Does he mean that once someone takes out Rayleigh and Gaban, Roger will pose no threat to him?

Roya narrowed his eyes. "So, Uncle Shiki, you expect me to fight a monster like Rayleigh Jabba? Forget whether I can handle it, I alone wouldn't be enough, would I?"

The Golden Lion glanced at Roa's feet. "Isn't Kaido here?"

You really know how to think.

"Ha?"

As expected, Kaido instantly snapped angrily, "Shiki, you idiot, do you really expect me to help you? Who do you think I am?!"

"You'd better think this through, Kaido,"

Golden Lion said, "That's Roger! How long will it take you to have a chance to fight Roger? And how much effort will it take you to find him!"

"Forehead-"

Kaido moment.

Roa's lips twitched. "Oh, you guys are really obsessed with Roger."

Are you kidding me, Big Brother Kaido? You're already wavering?

"So, Roa, are you going to take this job?"

The Golden Lion asked with some anticipation.

Without the help of Roa and Kaido, he would never have had the chance to fight Roger.

After all, although the Flying Pirates are now the most powerful pirate crew in the New World, sheer power is no match for the Roger Pirates.

"If the opponent is the Roger Pirates, Uncle Shiki,"

Roa thought for a moment, "As for the price, we'll have to go for the highest possible level."

This is a good opportunity to remind Roger that the people of Ohara are studying the Poneglyph.

Otherwise, without Kozuki Oden, Roger would never have become the Pirate King.

Of course, we can't let him collect Road Poneglyph so quickly. At this point in time, we don't know if Roger had a terminal illness. If not, what if he didn't want to start the Great Pirate Era?

In any case, it's always a good idea to go see Roger first.

But Uncle Shiki's pay must be sufficient!

"But I'm not interested in money."

Roa said, "How about Devil Fruit? Abel needs a powerful Devil Fruit, preferably Mythical Zoan."

Mythical Zoan?

Kaido was taken aback by Roa's outrageous demands.

They really dare to speak up!

Devil Fruit, even more precious than Logia Devil Fruits, something you can just find whenever you want?

The reason that triggered the God Valley Massacre was the Azure Dragon Fruit he ate.

However, upon further reflection, he realized that if the opponent were the Roger Pirates, then this price would indeed be the right one.

Mythical Zoan?

The Golden Lion's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of something amiss.

His reaction surprised Roa; he didn't seem to be in any particular predicament.

No way?

"You little brat,"

Golden Lion looked at Roa and said, "How did you know I had a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit?"

"Ah?"

Roa was utterly astonished. Could it really be such a coincidence? Fate, are you at it again?

Kaido couldn't help but exclaim, "Really?"

"It was only recently acquired,"

Golden Lion Shiki nodded. "Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Tengu Form. Come to think of it, it's Devil Fruit derived from the myths and legends circulating in Wano Country."

Tengu?

Is it a Great Tengu or a Crow Tengu?

In the mythology of the past, Ōtengu was one of the three great yokai, along with Tamamo-no-Mae and Shuten-dōji, and was quite prestigious.

As for the tengu, they're more of a nobody.

"Give it to me! Uncle Shiki!"

Roa said eagerly, "Give me that fruit, and I'll accept your request! Big Brother Kaido will come along too."

But whether it's Ōtengu or Karasu Tengu, Mythical Zoan is Mythical Zoan.

"Hey, Roa, don't make decisions for me without my permission!"

Kaido dissatisfaction.

"Are you sure, Big Brother Kaido?"

Roa narrowed his eyes. "If I go by myself, it's hard to say whether I'll come back. Besides, don't you want to fight Roger?"

You brat!

Kaido was furious.

But there's nothing we can do; we can't really let the Golden Lion kidnap Roa, can we?

Get it right!

"Sold!"

The Golden Lion nodded happily.

A Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit is precious, but if it could bring back Roger, what wouldn't be a worthwhile trade?

As for how to subdue Roger, well, as long as we capture Roger's partner, the one who values his comrades the most, why would we be afraid he won't submit?

"Great! What are we waiting for? Quickly take out that fruit, Uncle Shiki!"

Roa was incredibly excited.

I can't even imagine how strong Abel would become with the combination of the Lunarian and the Mythical Zoan!

In that case, even without Conqueror's Haki, he would still possess the potential to rival top-tier powerhouses, right?

So, the three who had been fighting fiercely just minutes before fell side by side from the sky, each one smiling and chatting happily.

Skullcrusher Hyde below, breathed a long sigh of relief.

I knew this would be the outcome; thankfully, I didn't rush into fighting Lord Roa's men.

"Go prepare for the second round of banquets."

Shiki glanced at his men.

He glanced again at the sniper who was still lying on the ground pretending to be a corpse not far away. Because the third round of the battle was about to begin, no one paid any attention to him. It was only because Doflamingo kept holding on to him that he was blown away long ago.

The Golden Lion snorted coldly, "Take that idiot back for treatment."

Hyde suddenly realized, as if waking from a dream, that he had almost forgotten!

Then.

"Come with me."

The Golden Lion turned to Roa and said.

Roa and his men gladly followed.

However, the Golden Lion's brows immediately furrowed.

In the clash between the lion and the dragon, his meticulously constructed courtyard had collapsed to a great extent, and the painful groans of the buried pirates could be heard everywhere.

"Hmph, look what you've done."

The Golden Lion glared at Roa and his companion again.

"Ha ha."

Roa scratched the back of his head somewhat awkwardly.

Since we're waiting for the final payment, let's just go along with it this once.

The Golden Lion simply waved his right hand, and a soft sound suddenly came from the ruins not far away. A small, locked box squeezed out of the ruins and flew straight towards them.

Roa caught it, flicked his finger to break the lock, opened the box, and the Devil Fruit was right in front of him.

It is black, with protrusions that resemble a pair of wings folded together to envelop the entire fruit, and as usual, it is covered with many spiral patterns.

Standing behind Roa, Kaido, taking advantage of his height, could also clearly see the fruit. "Hmph, brat, shouldn't you share half with me?"

"Let's settle this in cash, Big Brother Kaido. I'll give you a billion Beli."

Roa replied without looking up, casually taking out the fruit and examining it from all angles. Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, and it looked rather ordinary.

"Boss, what is this fruit?"

Dylan had realized something was wrong.

Devil Fruit really worth the attention of Golden Lion, Kaido, and the All-Stars?

"But Uncle Shiki,"

Roa didn't answer directly, but instead looked up at the lion with some surprise, "Why didn't you give this fruit to your men?"

Isn't Hyde a power user?

If a martial arts master like him were to acquire a Mythical Zoan, his strength would more than just increase by leaps and bounds.

"You think I don't want to? Small fry aren't qualified to eat. The ones who are qualified are all ability users."

The lion snorted coldly.

Roa was taken aback. "Your right-hand man, Mr. Hyde, is also a power user?"

I didn't even see it with my own eyes, and it wasn't even mentioned in the newspapers.

The lion's tone was even more displeased, "That idiot is Devil Fruit User; he can quickly heal his injuries as long as he expends energy."

Roa subconsciously turned around, and sure enough, Hyde, who had been somewhat scorched by Abel's flames, had now fully recovered.

That explains it; this ability is indeed not easy to discern, especially since top-tier monsters rarely fight each other.

"A very impressive ability."

"That's what I really think," Roa said sincerely.

For martial arts masters, this ability plays a significant role in both training and combat.

Then, Roa turned around and casually tossed the fruit in his hand to Abel.

"Abel, it's yours."

"Yes, Boss."

Without any hesitation, Abel took a large bite out of the fruit and, enduring the unpleasant taste, swallowed the flesh.

"Lunarian plus Mythical Zoan,"

Even the lion couldn't help but feel a little envious, saying, "You brat, you really know how to enjoy yourself!"

Mythical Zoan?

Dylan and Bullet both looked at Abel in surprise.

Abel's transformation has already begun.

The black wings on its back grew even larger, it wore a red mask on its face, had a long nose, and wore a pair of wooden clogs on its feet.

And then, that's it, those are the changes.

"Was this really using an ability, or just changing clothes?"

Doflamingo, who had followed, was both jealous and curious, and asked questions.

It's just that the wings got bigger, a weird mask came on, and a new pair of shoes.

"Don't look at Devil Fruit with common sense,"

Roa smiled brightly, "It's the Great Tengu! How is it, Abel?"

"Feeling 1"

Abel exclaimed, "Fantastic!"

"Great, let's test it out right away!"
