The Captain of the Guards spoke, "We are Count Nikon's hotel guards. Do you know how powerful our Count Nikon is?" The twenty guards beside him chimed in, "You're facing our Logan, Captain of the Guards. Do you know him?" Julian spoke, "Now I know. You guys are too awesome. I'm so scared."

Logan, Captain of the Guards, continued, "Kid, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business. This woman ate without paying at our Count Nikon's hotel. Our Count Nikon hates people who eat without paying the most. You don't want to offend our Count, do you?"

Julian turned back to look at the fleeing girl and asked, "How much is it?" The girl hid behind Julian, looking impatiently at the Captain of the Guards. She said, "I'll pay you back for eating your food later. Besides, I did more than ten days of work for you with just that little bit of food, which is enough to pay off the debt. You still want to shoot me?"

Julian said, "How much is it? I'll pay for her." The Captain of the Guards asked an exorbitant price, "Fifty million Belly. If you don't have fifty million Belly, we'll send her to be a slave." Julian unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, causing all the surrounding guards to feel weak in their bodies and collapse on the ground. Only the Captain of the Guards was slightly stronger, but he too felt weak all over, sweating profusely, and looking at Julian in terror.

Julian spoke again, "You dare to bark in front of me? Do you all want to die?" Julian unleashed his Conqueror's Haki at maximum power again, and then the Captain of the Guards also fainted. Julian said, "Fifty million is more than stealing from my home. Why don't you become a pirate instead of a guard?"

Julian then said, "Little girl, you can let go now. Don't hug me so tightly." Gion nodded awkwardly and said, "Sorry, I was scared by you and almost fainted." Gion then let go of Julian's waist and slowly stood up. Gion said, "Thank you for your help. I was chased by these people so badly!"

Then she looked at Julian pitifully. Julian replied, "You should go home quickly! I have to go. Goodbye." Gion immediately said, "I finally caught up to you. How can I go home?" Julian looked bewildered, with a look of utter confusion, and asked, "What do you mean by catching up to me? Kid, this isn't funny."

Gion replied, "I just want to join your Flame Dragon Pirates." Julian was unfazed. After all, there were always a lot of people wanting to join the Flame Dragon Pirates wherever they went. Julian then asked, "Do you have any skills? Do you have any special talents?"

Gion thought for a moment and said, "I'm an excellent cook. I'm good at cooking." Julian laughed, "Then you can continue to be a chef. Food and lodging are provided, and you'll get ten thousand Belly a month. What do you think?" Gion smiled, "Really? Can I join your Flame Dragon Pirates?" Julian asked, "What's your name?" Gion replied, "My name is Xiaoya." Julian observed Gion carefully.

Julian secretly thought, "I've never heard of a beauty named Xiaoya among pirates. I really haven't heard of her." Julian muttered, "But there are thousands of pirate islands, and beauties make up more than half of them. I'll just recruit another super beautiful worker."

Looking at Xiaoya's appearance and figure, Julian secretly thought, "She looks about the same as Alice, each with her own merits. Her legs are too long!" Julian was very happy, as he had gained several Devil Fruits. Xiaoya was also secretly pleased, thinking to herself, "I didn't expect to get on board so easily. Half of the plan is successful." Xiaoya then looked at the tall and handsome Julian in front of her.

Xiaoya secretly thought, "What an imposing Great Pirate! And his aura is astonishing." She then thought, "It's a shame someone like him isn't in the Navy." After thinking about her classmates in the Navy, Kake, Chaton, and Ugly Monster, who wanted to propose to her, she scoffed, "Dream on." Xiaoya secretly thought, "There are hardly any notable figures in the Navy's elite training camp." Then the two began to converse.

Gion spoke first, "Captain, are we going to the Grand Line?" Julian said, "Yes! Why not? We definitely have to see the beautiful scenery of various regions in this world."

Gion continued to ask, "Captain, do you want to challenge any Legendary Great Pirates?" Julian thought for a moment and continued, "Of course. My dream is to become the strongest person in this world and defeat all enemies."

Xiaoya secretly thought, "Another one who wants to be like Whitebeard. When will the sea ever be peaceful?" However, her eyes still showed the expression of a fangirl. Julian found Xiaoya's fangirl look amusing, but it was all an act by Xiaoya. Julian prepared to put on a show and said, "I want to change the rotten atmosphere in this world. Look at those Celestial Dragons, they are all like vampires. Look at those kingdoms, they are disgustingly corrupt. Our pirate crew is a righteous pirate crew. My brothers are all from common people. I want to lead my brothers to create a bright future and a peaceful era." After speaking, Julian even believed it himself, and he even released his Conqueror's Haki a bit.

In reality, what Julian wanted most was to close the doors on Sky Island and be a king, acquire resources, and lead his brothers to their deaths. That was not Julian's style. Of course, with a fangirl present, Julian felt he had to put on a show. Xiaoya secretly thought, "This person's ideas are terrifying. He wants to change the world? How bold! And he has Conqueror's Haki too. The sea will be chaotic again. An ambitious Great Pirate!"

However, Xiaoya cooperated with the act and said, "Captain, you are truly the greatest person." Julian, acting like a boss, said, "With my Xiaoya's help, it's like having a hundred thousand elite Navy chefs. How can our great cause not succeed?" Xiaoya's lips curved slightly, and she said, "I will help the Captain make delicious food, so that the Captain can be in a good mood every day."

Xiaoya secretly thought, "This pirate is indeed going to stir up the sea. I need to report to Marine Headquarters as soon as possible." Julian looked at Xiaoya's fangirl expression and burst into laughter. He said, "No need to walk. Come here, I'll carry you." With that, he activated his Fire Dragon Beastman Form, turned off the flames on his body, picked up Xiaoya with one hand, and flew through the sky. In a few minutes, they arrived at the ship.

Julian then called over the Head of Logistics, Pablo, and said to him, "This is the girl I just rescued, her name is Xiaoya. Arrange something for her. She's a cook. Get her some clothes and such." Julian personally took Xiaoya to the staff dormitory on the second floor and let her settle in. Finally, he gave her a smile like an older brother and left.

Why didn't Julian recognize Gion? When Gion appeared in the anime, her hair was always tied up. Now she has a three-seven split fringe and her hair is down, like Qiu Ya's hairstyle. Who could recognize her in the dark? Of course, if Julian had recognized her, he would have been even more excited. Moreover, the young Gion had not yet developed the cunning of Momousagi. Julian was very happy to have gained another fangirl.

Most importantly, there were five Devil Fruits. He had made a huge profit. Counting his Belly, he had twenty-eight billion. Adding the previous thirty billion, it was close to sixty billion. His gold coins were also close to over a billion. Julian was very happy now. With the gold and gold coins on the ship, over a billion, and jewelry of various kinds, he now had wealth of over eighty billion. How long would it take to spend it all? He had bought everything he needed on the island. Julian said, "I need to get to Reverse Mountain quickly and then head to the Grand Line, to Sky Island, beat up Gan Fall, and take down the God of Sky Island."

"Let Enel forge the Sky Chord, and then we can travel freely everywhere, rob Devil Fruits, and recruit workers." Julian put away his Belly and gold and returned to his room.

Julian took out the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and began to cross-reference the five Devil Fruits. For the first fruit, Julian held the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia and began to search. It was a Paramecia Devil Fruit, the Storage-Storage Fruit, or a spatial Devil Fruit. It could turn his body into a storage space, and he could also make this space larger or smaller, similar to the Castle-Castle Fruit. It was indeed a fitting Paramecia Devil Fruit, with all sorts of abilities.

For the second fruit, Julian discovered it was a Paramecia Devil Fruit, the Flip-Flip Fruit. This fruit could rotate the ground, and it could also rotate other objects. If awakened, it could turn the world upside down. It could also rotate the opponent's body, make the sea surface rotate, and flip islands. Julian judged it to be a perfect Devil Fruit.

The third was the blue Fire Dragon Fruit Form. Julian searched the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia for a long time but couldn't find it. It seemed to be a Zoan Devil Fruit, possibly a powerful Mythical Zoan. This fruit also had a lightning-like symbol. He didn't know what it was. Or it could be a Paramecia Devil Fruit, the Electric-Electric Fruit. The Rumble-Rumble Fruit was on Birka, so it was clearly not that. Then it was likely a Zoan Devil Fruit with lightning power. Julian said, "This is going to be great!"

Julian immediately stayed by the safe. The fourth was the Logia Rain-Rain Fruit. This one was shaped like a green cantaloupe, but it controlled the rain that fell from the sky, not seawater from the ocean. It also allowed the user to transform into water vapor and fly. It was an incredibly powerful ability.

The fifth was the Zoan Bird-Bird Fruit, common type, White Dove Form. Julian now had eight Devil Fruits. The first was the Paramecia Steel-Steel Fruit, a Calamity-level Devil Fruit. The user could transform their entire body into a Steel Giant and control steel. Julian didn't plan to give this one to his subordinates. It was such an incredibly powerful Devil Fruit that Julian was reluctant to part with it.

The second Devil Fruit was the Ox-Ox Fruit, common type, Wild Ox Form. Julian said, "These are ordinary Devil Fruits. Hand them out and don't take up my memory space. Carnivorous animals are much stronger than herbivores."

The third Devil Fruit was the Paramecia Speed-Speed Fruit. Julian said, "This is a super Devil Fruit, one tier below Calamity-level. Hand it out." The fourth Devil Fruit was the Paramecia Flip-Flip Fruit, which he didn't plan to give away. It could rotate the land and was incredibly powerful. It could even rotate the sea. If awakened, it could cause earth-shattering changes, making it a Devil Fruit close to Calamity-level. He decided to keep it for now.

The fifth Devil Fruit, the Paramecia Storage-Storage Fruit, was to be handed out. He wanted his crew members to swallow people or store damage. The sixth, the Logia Rain-Rain Fruit, would not be given away. It could transform into water vapor and control torrential rain from the sky. It was a Calamity-level Devil Fruit, and this one could also fly.

The seventh, a suspected Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit that could generate electricity, would not be given away. It wasn't a great killer weapon. If it was a Mythical Zoan, it would be a true god-tier Devil Fruit, one tier above Calamity-level. Julian said, "If I gave this Devil Fruit away, I'd have to be out of my mind."

The eighth Devil Fruit was the Bird-Bird Fruit, common type, Pigeon Form. Julian said, "Hand it out. Let them choose some outstanding Squadron Captains to give the Devil Fruits to. Let these new Devil Fruit users become Dark Dragon Guards. Then we'll have the lineup of the Eight Division Captains and Twelve Dark Dragon Guards. We'll also select a Dragon General to lead the Twelve Dark Dragon Guards. We'll name the first Dragon Guard Dragon One, and the second Dragon Guard Dragon Two. It will be very impressive when they go out. Normally, they'll act as dark guards, gathering information and intelligence." Julian also said with a smile, "In the future, these Dragon Generals and Dragon Guards will be the eyes and brains of our Flame Dragon Pirates."
