Seeking the Fruit

Hearing this,

Noah's gaze froze, and his expression became a little strange.

He casually turned his head and exchanged odd looks with Momousagi, Shiya, and the others beside him.

A blue flying dragon capable of controlling lightning?

The sea was vast, and all sorts of wonders existed. Many remote, uninhabited islands still harbored ancient, mysterious races. For instance, Little Garden was home to all kinds of dinosaurs.

So encountering a flying dragon at sea was not all that unusual.

But this dragon could not only control lightning, its power was terrifying enough to instantly kill two Sea Kings...

Only the Rumble-Rumble Fruit could explain that.

Sometimes, fate really was strange... Noah looked at Severn, who was still reminiscing, and felt rather emotional.

He had originally thought that even if the Rumble-Rumble Fruit really was in Enel's hometown, he would have to spend a long time searching for it, with an even greater chance of returning empty-handed.

But who could have expected that, in Spring Queen City, thousands of miles away,

his investigation into a matter sparked by pitying a little beggar would unexpectedly pinpoint the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's exact whereabouts?

This counted as good deeds being rewarded, didn't it...

"After that flying dragon saved you, where did it go? Do you know?"

Noah asked again.

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit's owner was practically confirmed, but if that flying dragon had merely been passing through and had no fixed home, it would still be quite troublesome to find.

"Where did it go?"

Severn froze for a moment, then shook his head. "It didn't leave. It was still on that deserted island. The natives there said the dragon seemed to have flown in from somewhere else over a year ago. It helped them drive off invading pirates, and afterward they worshipped it as a god.
