Julian also ran out of the castle, then activated the Fire Dragon Fruit and transformed into a humanoid fire dragon in Hybrid Form. A Flame Halo coiled around his back, while the upgraded Flame Cloud imitated the appearance of the White-Eyed Wolf Fruit. Julian thought to himself, Pressure +5.
Beneath the Flame Halo were two enormous crimson flame wings shaped like scythes. Julian said, "Looks +6." Then he leaped into the air, flapped his wings, and flew toward where his fleet was docked. He had no idea whether Herbert and the others had returned, but since he could fly, he was definitely much faster than sailing with the fleet.
After flying for more than ten minutes, Julian arrived at the dock where the ships were moored. He said, "This island really is huge—roughly 130,000 square kilometers. It also has a massive population, probably over a million people. And it's already very close to where the Four Seas meet. Another ten thousand nautical miles ahead is Reverse Mountain."
Julian realized that if his fleet sailed at full speed, they would reach Reverse Mountain in a little over ten days.
Julian did not intend to stay here and keep grinding levels. He was preparing to head for the Grand Line. Any islands or kingdoms along the route, he intended to pay them a proper visit. Along the way, he planned to either rob them or loot their homes.
Besides, Julian had already accumulated more than ten billion in wealth. He laughed. "Starting a company really was the right choice. Now the employees are starting to feed the company in return."
When Julian descended from the sky onto the ship, the security sailors on watch grabbed their weapons and ran toward him. Once they saw it was Julian, they all said, "Captain!"
