"..." Hiko had only just managed to calm his emotions when they rippled slightly again. After all, he had killed someone without even using much force. It made him seem like he had poor control over his strength.
But upon seeing this heaven-defying fruit appear, Hiko did not hesitate for even half a second. He held out his hand, and the suction from his palm immediately drew the Devil Fruit over. Just like that, his first Devil Fruit fell into his hands.
"Looks like good luck is inseparably linked to being handsome." Hiko muttered to himself. He found a bag, put the Devil Fruit inside, and hung it from his waist.
At this point, every Pirate on the ship was under his control. Hiko was still hesitating over whether to kill them or spare them.
"Hmm?" Just then, Hiko sensed a ship approaching from that direction. There were many people aboard with vigorous vitality and formidable auras. One of them seemed extremely low-key, but the restrained aura he exuded was incredibly powerful.
Hiko considered it for a moment. He happened to be lacking a means of transportation right now. He should not have killed that Sea King so quickly earlier. How nice would it have been to turn it into a Summoned Beast? Traveling would have been much more convenient, and he would not be stranded foolishly in the middle of the ocean with nowhere to go.
Should he hitch a ride once that ship arrived?
No sooner had the thought occurred to him than he acted on it. Hiko was a man of action. He first adjusted his body. The Chakra within him remained exceedingly abundant. His body had been nourished and strengthened by a God-tier potion, so even after crossing worlds, he remained in an outrageously powerful state.
