You Be the King! The Munch-Munch Fruit's Powerful Ability! Golden Lion and Kaido

Ian looked down at Wapol.

This guy seems to be only a year older than me, right?

But the age difference looks much more than just one year.

Its body is round and plump, almost like an iron barrel.

At this moment, the guy looked up at him with the same expression as if he had seen a ghost, his mouth wide open, as if he was about to unleash his power and devour him.

Ian lightly leaped down from the castle, landing on the head of the hippopotamus that Wapol was riding. "Wapol, I came here specifically to find you. Isn't it a bit impolite to just leave without saying goodbye?"

Wapol was trembling all over and couldn't utter a single word.

How could this monster be here?!

"Protect His Majesty Wapol!"

Even a good-for-nothing like Wapol still had some loyal subjects under his command.

There were three people in charge.

One was a boxer with an afro.

One was an archer dressed in green.

There was another one, which had now transformed into a bison.

Ian didn't even lift his eyelids. "Quiet down, I'm not talking to you."

Buzz!!

A violent aura surged forth, instantly sweeping away the snow accumulated on the mountain peaks outside the castle.

Except for Wapol, everyone else had already collapsed limply.

"Whoa!!"

Wapol was so frightened that he screamed.

He simply couldn't understand what was going on.

"Understood! I understand!"

Wapol cried out, "I will give you all my treasures! So please, spare my life!"

"Treasure?"

Ian grabbed the guy's hair and yanked him up. "I'm not interested in that kind of stuff."

This thing is the biggest treasure on the island.

"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!"

Wapol felt like his scalp was being ripped off; he had never hated his hair so much before!

But what exactly does this guy want to do?!

Wapol was filled with panic.

Was he coming for me?

I don't understand!

"Come with me."

Grabbing Wapol with one hand, Ian was instantly launched into the air, heading back the way he came.

The Kingdom of Drum wasn't very big, and in no time at all, Ian had already landed outside the tavern.

In just a short while, the two giants were already sitting on the ground and drinking.

Even Jack and Drake were drinking together.

There's no way around it; Drum Island is a winter island, covered in snow all year round, so it is indeed very cold.

Unable to ignore the cold like Ian Yamato, they could only rely on drinking to generate heat.

Welcome back, Ian!

Yamato raised his right hand and greeted Ian with great enthusiasm.

If it were any enemy, she would never let Ian face them alone.

But this time the enemy was ridiculously weak, and she couldn't muster any interest at all.

"Wapol ..."

Hiriluk's expression was complicated. In such a short time, the King of this country had been brought back by Ian like a dead dog.

Even now, it's still screaming and begging for mercy.

How embarrassing!

"Now, contact all the towns on the island,"

Ian threw Wapol on the ground and said calmly, "We need a lot of alcohol and all the medical books. I'll give you one day to have everything I need delivered."

"Yes, I understand!"

Wapol hurriedly pulled out Den Den Mushi from his pocket and made calls one by one.

"Hurry up! I don't care what methods you use! Send me all the wine and all the medical knowledge on the island as quickly as possible!"

After hanging up the phone, Wapol looked at Ian ingratiatingly, "Is this alright?"

Ian nodded approvingly. "Well done."

Wapol immediately perked up, "Then can I leave now?"

"Walk?"

Ian chuckled, "Don't rush, come with us tomorrow."

"Huh?"

Wapol was stunned.

Even Ian's friends were a bit stunned, let alone him.

"Ian,"

Luo couldn't help but say, "Don't tell me you came to this island just for this guy."

No matter how you look at it, this guy is just a complete waste of space.

"Don't underestimate him,"

Ian said, "Wapol's abilities are quite interesting."

The Munch-Munch Fruit is a powerful ability that allows one to combine anything they swallow.

In the original work, Wapol used this ability to refine Wapometal, thus making a comeback.

Furthermore, in the theatrical version, this guy even demonstrated the ability to swallow ability users and acquire their abilities.

It can be described as an extremely powerful Devil Fruit ability.

This means the user is too incompetent.

"You... you... you..."

Wapol finally understood Ian's meaning. His finger trembled as he pointed at Ian, "You, you want to kidnap me? I am the King of the Kingdom of Drum! What will happen to this country if I leave!"

His words made everyone laugh.

"Crap crap crap! Does this guy want pirates to be responsible for his country?"

Brogy laughed out loud.

Ian couldn't help but chuckle. "You probably don't know anything about pirates."

Pirates are people who have no taboos.

"As for the King,"

Ian smirked. "Isn't this a position that just anyone can do?"

Being a subordinate is not easy, but being a leader is very easy.

"Hiriluk,"

Ian raised his hand and pointed at Hiriluk, calmly saying, "From now on, you will be the King of this country."

"Huh?"

Hiriluk was stunned, pointing at himself incredulously, "Me?"

Didn't you want to save this country?

Okay, I'll give you that chance.

Ian said, "Remember this: if you are not the one ruling this country in the future, I will come back and destroy it completely."

Upon hearing this, Hiriluk trembled.

Is this a threat?

But does this count as a threat?

No! You can't!

Wapol panicked and hurriedly said, "I am the one—"

No, I can.

Ian looked down at him, his eyes cold. "Now, announce my decision to the entire nation."

Wapol was so frightened that tears streamed down his face, but he finally obediently did as he was told.

Hiriluk was still feeling a little dizzy.

Did he really achieve a life-changing reversal and become King just like that?

It must be said that the people of the Kingdom of Drum were quite efficient; a day later, the drinks and medical books Ian wanted had been delivered.

The drinks were even more than I expected.

After all, even local residents need strong liquor to ward off the year-round cold.

The drinks completely filled the storage room of the Golden Flying Dragon.

The two giants watched with beaming smiles.

The medical books that were sent over were also enormous, almost piled up like a small mountain.

Luo could only swallow hard.

On one hand, there is anticipation.

But on the other hand, this is too much!

How long will it take to see this?!

Hiriluk exclaimed that this time, the entire Kingdom of Drum's medical expertise had been completely depleted.

Then, with nothing left to linger on, the Golden Flying Dragon sail once more.

Our next destination is Alabasta.

One of the twenty kings from eight hundred years ago, Nefit D. Lily, did not go to Mary Geoise to become Celestial Dragons, but mysteriously disappeared.

Before she disappeared, she left a letter for her younger brother, who was the ancestor of the Nefertari family, the royal family of the present-day Alabasta Kingdom.

Perhaps something is recorded on it.

While I'm not particularly interested in the Void Century or anything like that, it wouldn't be bad if I could glean some secrets about Im from that letter.

The Golden Flying Dragon slowly sailed away from the coast of Drum Island.

On the shore, Hiriluk gazed blankly at the departing ship.

"What an amazing group of pirates."

A voice suddenly came from behind, "They actually paid for it, drinks and medical books alike! Honestly, I've made a fortune just selling medical books, but there's no alcohol left on the island!"

Hiriluk turned around. "Kureha, did you sell all the medical books you collected?"

"Those things are already memorized perfectly in my head!"

Appearing before Hiriluk was a graceful old woman.

He had white hair and deep wrinkles on his face, but he still looked incredibly energetic.

She said lazily, "Besides, medical skills are only useful when they are shared."

Hiriluk laughed heartily, "I've never understood you."

"Alright, what are you still standing there for, kid?"

The woman, known as Dr. Kureha, clapped her hands. "Everyone is waiting for you. Your coronation ceremony is about to begin, Your New King Your Majesty."

Hiriluk scratched his head. "It doesn't feel real at all. Am I really going to become the new King?"

"Or, you could refuse, and then wait for Ian of the Scorched Sky to return and burn this country to ashes?"

Hiriluk shuddered. "Then let's forget about it."

That outcome would be terrifying.

"So, if you can't be King, then appoint me as prime minister! I'll help you rule this country!"

"You just want to take this opportunity to make money, don't you!"

In any case, this country has undergone changes.

The Golden Flying Dragon continued forward.

On the deck, a group of people surrounded Wapol.

Wapol huddled into a ball in fear.

He was filled with despair.

He was perfectly content being the King of the Kingdom of Drum, eating hotpot and singing songs, when suddenly he was kidnapped by pirates?

Pirates must be eradicated at all times!

Navy, what the hell are you bunch of useless idiots doing?!

"So, Ian, what's the point of this guy?"

Luo looked at Wapol with suspicion.

No matter how you look at it, this guy is a complete waste of space.

Terrible skills, utterly weak mentality.

"Then let's show it to you."

Ian clapped his hands.

"Babanuki!"

He shouted, "Bring some weapons!"

"Yes, Lord Ian!"

Babanuki immediately rushed over, followed by several pirates dragging a pile of swords, spears, and even cannons. "What are your orders?"

Ian pointed at the weapons and said to Wapol, "Eat them."

Eat it?

Everyone was stunned, staring at Wapol.

Were these things originally edible?

Wapol was even more bewildered.

How did this guy know about his abilities?!

But he didn't dare to resist. He quickly got up, walked to the weapons, opened his mouth wide—to the size of his body—and swallowed the weapons, along with the trailer box, whole in one gulp.

"Oh! What an interesting ability!"

Yamato's eyes lit up instantly.

If she had that ability, wouldn't she be able to eat as much as she wanted?

"Wapol Weapon Shop!"

With a strange cry from Wapol, a large number of weapons emerged from his body, instantly transforming him into a bizarre, hedgehog-like shape.

"He absorbs what he eats?"

Drake guessed.

"More than."

Ian shook his head. "Wapol, separate all the metal parts and non-metal parts, assemble them separately, and then spit them out."

Wapol obediently did as instructed, "Wapol Factory!"

The next moment, he opened his mouth wide and spat out a huge metal block, as well as another cube made of various miscellaneous materials.

"Oh?"

Luo's eyes lit up instantly; he understood something.

"This guy is Paramecia Gluttony Devil Fruit User."

Ian said, "He can combine and disassemble everything he swallows at will; one person is a super manufacturing plant."

The innate assembly line sacred body belongs to this category.

"That's interesting."

Jack was a little surprised.

"If we could combine all kinds of substances at will,"

As expected of a scholar, Luo quickly grasped the key point. "Doesn't that mean he can easily create all sorts of strange materials?"

Ian nodded slightly.

Those materials science gurus from my past life would absolutely love this ability.

"That's really something,"

Luo's eyes lit up, "Amazing!"

He seemed to be looking at a factory, not a person.

Wapol was sweating profusely watching this.

"That's not all,"

Ian smiled and turned to Babanuki. "Babanuki, would you mind doing an experiment for me?"

"Certainly!"

Babanuki declared righteously, "Your will is my mission!"

"Then, let's go and drag up a ferocious beast."

Ian said.

Immediately, a huge Masira appeared on the deck, its size far exceeding that of the two giants!

Ian pointed at the Masira and said to Wapol, "Eat it."

"Eh!!"

Wapol's astonished eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "No way! This is too big!"

How could he possibly swallow a beast tens of meters long?

His mouth can't be expanded indefinitely!

"Then why don't you just get bigger too?"

Ian had a bunch of strange things brought over—unused boxes, spare timber, and the like—and Wapol swallowed them all.

So, in just a few minutes, Wapol also transformed into a giant tens of meters tall.

He simply didn't have the strength to support his enormous body, and he collapsed to the ground, panting.

"Alright, we can begin now."

Ian said, "Swallow both the Masira and Babanuki."

Are you going to swallow yourself too?

Babanuki couldn't help but swallow.

That's a little scary.

However, since this is Lord Ian's order!

Then of course we should just do it!

His eyes hardened, and he said with a look of unwavering resolve, "Come on!"

Wapol grabbed Babanuki and shoved him into his mouth.

Then he swayed and walked up to the Masira, opened his mouth as wide as it could, and swallowed the Masira whole.

"No way?"

Black Maria murmured to herself.

"Is it even possible to do something like this?"

Luo was also speechless.

The others have basically figured out what Ian is up to.

That's why it's so amazing.

"Put them together!"

Ian said, "With Babanuki's will as the guiding principle."

Wapol burped and patted his stomach.

"Wapol Factory!"

After a long while, he finally opened his mouth and spat out again.

The enormous Masira was vomited up once again.

However, the appearance of Masira has changed dramatically.

For example, its face became Babanuki's.

"Oh oh!!"

The Masira lowered its head, looked at its fists, clenched them, and let out a joyful cry.

"How are you feeling, Babanuki?"

Ian asked.

"Fantastic! Fantastic, Lord Ian!"

The Masira uttered Babanuki's voice, "This body is completely under my control!"

In an instant, the friends' eyes lit up.

That seems to be quite an impressive ability.

After this minor incident, the Golden Flying Dragon continued its journey towards Alabasta.

Along the way, a flurry of newspapers brought Ian some news.

Or rather, it brought a message to the world.

The Golden Lion is back!

Upon his return, he attacked Marineford, causing immense damage to Marine Headquarters.

The name of the Flying Lion resounded throughout the world once again.

Meanwhile, the Flying Lion had already arrived in Wano Country.

"Hehehehe! Kaido! How long has it been?"
