I, Julian, Have Also Done It

After Julian finished his heart training, version 0.5, and successfully cultivated it, he opened his mouth and shouted: "I am Confident Bro, I am full of confidence, I am no longer socially anxious!"

Julian looked at the Devil Fruit he bought yesterday. It was a Paramecia-type Speed-Speed Fruit, which could increase movement speed and attack speed. It all depended on how well he could control it to increase his speed. The saying "speed is power" was definitely not wrong.

Moreover, this fruit would definitely be weakened against masters who possessed Observation Haki. Julian secretly thought: "This is a lower-tier fruit than the Moa Moa no Mi. It's a hundred times less powerful than Byrnndi World's hundredfold acceleration, and it can also increase size a hundredfold. The Speed-Speed Fruit might only offer a hundredfold acceleration at most." Julian didn't care and put it in the safe first.

There were two other Devil Fruits in the safe: one was a Zoan-type Ox-Ox Fruit, and the other was a Paramecia-type Steel-Steel Fruit. Now there was another powerful Speed-Speed Fruit. It was already the end of April this year. Roger might have already landed on Laugh Tale. Now, all that's left is to wait for the news and watch the show.

Julian secretly thought: "What's so great about being the Pirate King? Besides fame, what else is there? What does he even matter? It's just that Queen Lily, the ancestor of Vivi, played a trick on Im, the King of the Void."

The history from eight hundred years ago was left on Laugh Tale. Vivi was also of the D. clan. Nefertari D. was her surname. Julian was also curious about the historical records left on Laugh Tale. Julian secretly thought: "So, I still need to build my own power and assemble my own team. That's the most stable approach."

Julian secretly thought: "After this wave, the seas will be in chaos next year. By then, many deserted islands will have been developed, and Devil Fruits will be fewer. More Devil Fruit users will come out to cause trouble. If I don't get a couple more now, it might be harder to get Devil Fruits later."

Julian said: "Ordinary Devil Fruits have average abilities. I definitely have to go to Skypiea and Wano Country. Who should I give this Speed-Speed Fruit to?" Julian thought about it and decided to put it aside for now and deal with it later. The Ox-Ox Fruit, Wild Ox form, will be given to the intelligence team leader.

Julian thought again: "Should I give him the Speed-Speed Fruit or the Ox-Ox Fruit?" Julian fell into a dilemma. "Let's go with the Ox-Ox Fruit. Not only is Alice pregnant, but Beatrice is also pregnant. Only Marina hasn't shown any signs yet. If he gets pregnant, there will be three children. Then I'll have to prepare at least three powerful Devil Fruits. Children can't eat Kaido's Artificial Devil Fruit. If they eat it, they'll grow up with a face like Kaido's." Julian felt like he had been cuckolded without realizing it.

The Dragon Fruit can only be given to adults who have already formed their appearance. Their faces won't change after eating it. One Flame-Flame Fruit is in the East Blue, the Smooth-Smooth Fruit is in the East Blue, and the Wall-Wall Fruit is currently with Black Charcoal Semimaru. After he was killed by Kaido's club, it went to Loguetown, to Barto.

Julian had an idea. He would develop a spherical barrier like gravity mud. The Devil Fruit abilities of those killed Devil Fruit users would possess the nearest fruit. He would grab a bag of fruits and wait for those Devil Fruit souls to possess them.

Using a gravity mud barrier, he would enclose the dead Devil Fruit users. The Devil Fruit souls would seek out the nearest fruit to possess after the user's death. He would use Mud Space to trap the Devil Fruit souls, fill the Mud Space with fruits, and it was highly likely that the Devil Fruit souls would directly possess them.

Julian said: "Activate Swamp Space rotation, let the sealed airflow rotate within the circular mud space. Devil Fruit souls follow the airflow. Let the Mud Gravity Space's internal space rotate and change the airflow so that the Devil Fruit souls cannot escape the space. They will definitely possess the nearest pile of fruits."

Julian secretly thought: "If I can develop this successfully, I can even rob Devil Fruit users in the future." Julian immediately began to develop the gravity mud barrier. Julian also activated his Earth-Earth Fruit ability on the deck.

Instantly, a hundred-meter circular gravity mud barrier was formed. Julian's red mud wall covered and sealed the entire space. Then, using the Devouring ability of Swamp Mud, Julian quickly developed it. Julian secretly thought: "I am indeed a genius with extraordinary talent."

Thus, Julian activated his Earth-Earth Fruit ability. Clumps of mud gathered into a sphere. A two-hundred-meter circular mud space was developed. Julian walked into the mud swamp space and controlled the mud walls inside to rotate. A tornado-like airflow immediately formed in the mud space. Julian secretly thought: "This way, the Devil Fruit souls won't be able to escape."

Julian immediately controlled the gravity mud space to become swamp mud. The mud on the ground frantically absorbed things underground. If a person walked on it, they would instantly sink more than twenty meters underground.

Julian also controlled the gravity of this gravity mud space to be five times that of the outside. There was also constantly bouncing mud under Julian's feet. Julian made these mud walls continue to thicken, more than twenty meters thick. The mud at the very top was still rotating.

Julian secretly thought: "This mud space can also accelerate cultivation. The gravity here is five times higher than outside. If enemies are pulled in, they will consume five times more stamina. Then, before the fight even begins, the opponent will be weakened by half." Julian also continued to develop his absorption ability inside.

Julian continued to strengthen the mud space rotation and further enlarged the semicircular sphere. It grew to three hundred meters, then four hundred, then five hundred meters. Julian was frantically developing the Mud Gravity Space.

Julian felt it was very promising, so he worked day and night developing the Swamp Mud. Three days later, Julian finally emerged from the Swamp Space. Julian had not slept for three days and three nights. Julian had also developed a new skill with Swamp Mud: Devour and Decompose. It could instantly drag people into the swirling mud vortex, completely engulfing the opponent, and then instantly decompose ordinary people into mud.

That evening, Julian took a bath and spent some time with Alice. Then he went to the room of the female doctor, Danylis, to discuss life. Danylis was proficient in all the arts, and Julian was very fond of this girl. Danylis's dream was to become part of Julian's family, and Julian also felt a strong connection with Danylis. The two hit it off immediately.

Meanwhile, Vice Admiral Kizaru, holding four hundred million Belly, was in a hurry, flying in his light-speed mode, preparing to return to Marine Headquarters, Mary Fando. Kizaru said: "There's so much money on me, four hundred million. How can I spend it all? I can't spend it all. I thought about what would happen if the Fleet Admiral knew I took pirate money." Kizaru secretly thought: "How would he know? This is ten years' worth of salary. I'll keep it safe for now, and I can enjoy life when I retire." He smirked.

Kizaru secretly thought: "Next time, I'll wait until Flame Dragon Julian's bounty is higher before I catch him." He then thought that if he caught him, Marine Headquarters would deduct half of the reward. If it was all deducted, it would become merit points, which were needed for promotion. Kizaru thought for a moment and said: "With four million Belly a month, why would I risk my life?" Vacation time always passed quickly. He looked at the four large chests again.

Meanwhile, Gion was still working at the hotel, cleaning and paying off her debts. Gion complained in her heart: "It's been more than ten days today. How can I go undercover in the Flame Dragon Pirates? How can I obtain information about the Flame Dragon Pirates? Sigh, is my first mission going to fail?" Then she started mopping the floor and cleaning again.

Gion said: "Why is the undercover mission so difficult? My hands have become rough." Then Gion cheered herself up: "I am going to be the first female Admiral in the Marines. I will definitely capture the Flame Dragon Pirates. For justice!"

At this moment, Julian first transformed into his Flame Dragon Human Beast form and flew towards the location of the kingdom's palace on the island. Upon arriving at his destination, Julian activated his Earth Elementalization and traveled through the ground like Tu Xingsun, heading towards the kingdom's treasury. The King was still doting on his queen.

Julian continued to move forward. He didn't have any special hobbies. Julian activated his earth perception and sensed that the weight above him was not right. He poked his head out to take a look. The floor tiles were also pushed out by Julian to form a human head shape.

Julian said: "It's indeed you, the King's treasury." Julian emerged from the crack in the floor and saw piles of Belly and gold. Julian surveyed the kingdom's treasury, which was over five hundred square meters, about the size of a small supermarket.

Julian wrapped all the Belly and gold with mud and stored it in his body. Then he searched everywhere for hidden rooms. Julian found a safe. Julian secretly thought: "These are all prepared for me." Julian activated his Earth Elementalization on his finger and placed his finger into the keyhole of the safe.

Julian turned his finger, and the safe opened. Inside were three treasure chests, each the size of a Devil Fruit. Julian smiled: "The objective has been achieved." He opened the three treasure chests. There were three Devil Fruits: one was a colorful apple, one was a black apple, and the third was a bluish-pineapple-shaped fruit. Julian immediately stored them in his body's mud space.

Julian continued to check if there were any other hidden rooms. Julian moved very quietly, searching everywhere. A patrol of guards passed by the treasury. Julian immediately turned into a pile of small mud. After the patrol guards left, Julian resumed his human form and sensed his surroundings with his mud.

Julian secretly thought: "It seems there really is a hidden room." He walked to a black brick and opened the stone. Inside was a small room. Julian destroyed all the bricks and entered the secret room, finding a room full of gold. Julian said: "It would have been better if there were two more fruits. Oh well, I'll take it." Another large mass of mud wrapped all the gold. Julian controlled them all to enter his body.

Julian continued to search for other treasures. It seemed there was nothing else. Kingdom logs, kingdom documents, and books like these didn't interest Julian. In ten minutes, Julian had emptied the King's treasury. The ground was completely clean. Julian said: "The Earth-Earth Fruit is indeed the most insidious Devil Fruit."

Julian then prepared to go to the territories of other noble earls. Casinos also had Devil Fruits, and they must have them in their homes. There might also be many good things. The dukes and earls of this country seemed to have very large fiefdoms.

Julian first went to the largest ducal fiefdom. Julian continued to travel underground, emerged from the King's palace, and then activated his Flame Giant Dragon form to fly. After flying for more than ten minutes, he passed a high mountain. The area below was entirely the Duke's fiefdom, almost one-fifth of the country. These areas were all fiefdoms, similar to other countries.

The King enfeoffed those dukes and earls, and then those dukes and earls paid a portion of taxes to the King. Then, within their territories, they were like kings themselves. Moreover, those nobles had their own cities and their own taxes, of which they paid a portion to the King.

Julian first scouted the castles of several nobles and then began to visit them one by one, starting with the Duke. The Duke's treasury was on the second floor. Julian activated his flight mode and flew to the second floor. The guards downstairs could not see Julian, and they were all guarding the entrance. Julian explored the Grand Duke's treasury. The Belly from the King's treasury was about 1.2 billion, and the gold was worth 500 million. This Duke probably had about 500 million Belly, as well as a Fine Grade Sword. Julian continued to pack. There was also a lot of gold, worth at least 200 million. Julian found two more fruits: one was white melon-like, and the other was a blue dragon fruit. Julian couldn't distinguish what kind of Devil Fruits these were.

He said: "It seems I need to get the Devil Fruit encyclopedia again." Julian then visited all the earls' castles. Besides Belly, there were also gold coins and gold. Julian packed them all up. After Julian left, the guards in those castles did not discover that Julian had been there. Julian really liked this feeling. I stole everything from you, and you couldn't even find out. It was so satisfying. When Julian reached the slums, he took out a large wad of Belly, about five million, and threw 20,000 Belly to each household.
