Dr. Kureha and the Longevity Secret Recipe

After happily pocketing the Human-Human Fruit, Kozuki Houka curled his lips into a smile and instantly transformed into lightning, vanishing from the spot.

Elsewhere, Dr. Kureha, who had been quietly approaching that powerful presence, suddenly froze in place.

Her pupils trembled beneath her sunglasses.

She hurriedly put on a carefree act, raised her bottle and took several swigs, then continued staggering forward drunkenly, every bit the part of a drunk old woman.

"Stop pretending, Dr. Kureha!"

"The witch doctor of the Drum Kingdom."

Houka's voice slowly rang out as he watched the skinny old woman feigning drunkenness with interest.

"Do you want to know the secret to my eternal youth?"

Looking as though she were about to collapse from drink, Dr. Kureha turned to glance at the monster behind her and spoke drunkenly, her tongue caught between her teeth.

But the instant she saw Houka clearly, she froze on the spot!

Damn, this was the legendary Great Demon Lord, Kozuki Houka, who had fought multiple wars against the King of the World.

His bounty stood at a staggering 5.68 billion Beli, placing him second in the world.

That was only because the World Government had never updated Kozuki Houka's wanted poster.

If a higher bounty had been of any use, Imu and the Celestial Dragons would probably have long offered 100 billion Beli for Kozuki Houka's head.

But no matter how high the bounty was, there was no bounty hunter capable of taking down Kozuki Houka.

Aside from Imu, the King of the World himself, there was probably not a single person in this world who could defeat Kozuki Houka.

Even Rocks, Kozuki Houka's captain, was most likely no match for him.

In those massive wars against the World Government, Kozuki Houka had almost always served as the main force!
