Transaction, Dragon Blood Ritual

In the Golden Scales Space, Minos quietly looked at one golden light group after another.

Bronze Cloth of the Heavenly Dragon (Original Version, without God's Blood and Golden Blood): From the Saint Seiya world.

The Pirate World does not support Cosmo; the Bronze Cloth is purely defensive armor. Its strength is equivalent to a Great Grade Sword, while the Dragon Shield and Dragon Gauntlets are at the Supreme Grade Sword level.

"Defensive equipment? What's the point!"

Dragon Talisman (one of the Twelve Zodiac Talismans of the Holy Master): From the world of Jackie Chan Adventures.

The Pirate World has no magic power, so it can convert Haki and Stamina into explosive attacks. The attack ceiling is determined by the host's Haki and Stamina.

"Trash, not even as good as the Arms-Arms Fruit! It would be much better to switch to the Dog Talisman."

Dragon Vein (the tailbone of Emperor Xuanyuan): From the world of Feng Yun.

It can increase Luck. After the Dragon Vein shatters, it will cause one to go berserk.

"Next!"

Fire Dragon Slayer Mage (Magic Crystal Version): From the world of Fairy Tail.

The Pirate World has no magic power, so it can absorb flames and cast flame techniques.

"If you were a first-generation mage who could turn into a dragon, or even a second-generation magic crystal version, but if it was the Lightning Version, I would have taken it."

"But if you can only absorb flames... it's really like everyone is bullying Ace!"

Feeling that time was almost up, Minos quickly flipped through the remaining light orbs.

Dragon Blood Ritual (Fafnir's Blood): From Norse Mythology.

Transformed by the Pirate World, it can greatly increase physical defense capabilities and slightly increase physique. The defense can withstand a Small Firearm and will increase with the host's growth.

"Siegfried's Dragon Blood Ritual? Hmm!? There's actually no so-called defensive weakness!" Minos was slightly surprised. "But a defense level of a Small Firearm... it's actually only slightly stronger than using Iron Body."

"Forget it, I'll choose this one."

"If you really want to calculate it, eating the Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit is the most cost-effective. However, you can only eat one Devil Fruit, but you can exchange for more through trading."

As he thought this, Minos saw the Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit on one side of the scale disappear into a streamer, and the Dragon Blood Ritual light orb on the other side instantly rushed towards him.

"Ouch, it's so hot." Minos frowned. He felt as if his entire body was doused with boiling water. After the scalding hot water circulated around his skin, streams of fiery warmth drilled into his body. Almost instantly, he felt himself become much stronger.

Opening his eyes, Minos, who had awakened, clenched his fist. A faint Black Sheen enveloped his entire fist: "Not only did my physical fitness increase, but my Haki also broke through? It's not a total loss after all."

"Quick, quick, the intruder is over there!"

Confused shouts came. Minos turned his head and saw several Marines rushing over, raising their Spears and firing directly at Minos.

If it were before, Mino would have already taken out several people with Drawing Sword Slash before they could even fire. This time, however, he didn't dodge or evade. The bullets struck his body, only splashing a few sparks before clattering to the ground.

The Marines' firearms looked old-fashioned, but in reality, the weapons used by the New World Marines had power approaching that of modern rifles.

Being able to be immune to the damage from these rifles, Mino could now proclaim himself invulnerable to blades and spears.

Of course, compared to monsters like Charlotte Linlin and Kaido, who were like steel balloons with Immortal Bodies, unfazed even by barrages from Electromagnetic Cannons, he was still worlds apart.

However, considering that with his training and increasing physical fitness, his constitution and defense would further grow, if he truly reached the strength of an Emperor, his defense might not be much worse than theirs...

Shaking his head, Mino was still on the battlefield and didn't have the mental space for these messy thoughts. He gave Baby5 a look, and they continued their wall-breaking assault.

"This is as far as you go!"

With a loud roar, a massive figure appeared before Mino and Baby5, a large fatty with a sturdy build like a Wrestler.

His left face had a scar running from his eye to his mouth. He wore a Red Bellyband on his upper body, a huge Knot around his waist, and Shorts on his lower body. His right hand and left foot were wrapped in Bandages.

"I am Momotaro, the deputy captain of the Science Unit! You won't take a single step closer under my defense!"

"You're the deputy captain? Then where is your captain?" Mino was slightly stunned and asked. He remembered that when the story began ten years later, Momotaro was already the captain of the Science Unit.

"As the most Tight-lipped man in the world, I won't tell you! Our captain has already set sail with Old Man Kizaru to deal with pirates!" Momotaro immediately replied without a pause to Mino's question.

"Oh... so you're the final defense then?" Mino nodded in understanding. "Do you know where Dr. Vegapunk is?"

"Damn pirates, trying to trick me!" Momotaro reacted belatedly and immediately replied again. "I won't tell you! Dr. Vegapunk is already retreating to the Submarine in the inner harbor at the lowest level of the base."

"So that's how it is." Mino nodded. The Clairvoyance above his head had already truly locked onto Dr. Vegapunk. At first, he really couldn't definitively identify which one was Dr. Vegapunk.

"Baby5, use your full power to blast through the floor in that direction!" Without another word, Mino immediately instructed Baby5 to execute her Hole-digging Strategy.

"You bastard, you tricked me into revealing secret information again! Do you think I'm dead?" Momotaro, finally reacting again, was furious and brought his giant axe down.

Mino didn't believe his current invulnerable body could withstand Momotaro's axe. The Momotaro of ten years later had mastered the ability of Armament Haki projection, a solid elite Vice Admiral of the Marines. Even if the current Momotaro was a bit weaker, he was still a Commodore or Rear Admiral level figure.

Just looking at his muscular build and that giant axe, it was clear this guy was definitely a Power Type. If Mino foolishly tried to tank it head-on, even if he wasn't split in half by the axe, he'd guarantee spitting up three liters of blood.

His figure flashed. As a Speed Type, Mino didn't truly clash head-on with Momotaro but instead engaged him by relying on high speed.

Momotaro's Armament Haki cultivation was not bad, but in terms of agility, looking at his physique, it was clearly a weak point. Although his axe swung with great force, it couldn't touch Mino's figure at all.

If it were a few more years, and Momotaro learned Armament Haki projection, with Long-Range Strike from his Haki, it wouldn't matter much even if he was a bit slow. But unfortunately, the current Momotaro hadn't reached that level yet, so he was at a significant disadvantage.
