Chapter 58: Rocks' Reward! Mythical Zoan! Kaido is Stunned! (3)
"This is the Zoan Type, Mythical Zoan, Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon."
Rocks didn't waste any words; he opened the box and displayed it in front of everyone.
As the Overlord of the Sea, Rocks had naturally seen the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia long ago.
Rocks also knew that this was a Mythical Zoan, a type even rarer than the Logia class.
Rono had achieved a heavenly merit, so this fruit, which Rocks had treasured for a long time, could finally be given away.
"It's actually a Mythical Zoan!"
"Model: Azure Dragon! If developed well, wouldn't it be stronger than a top-tier Logia?"
"That's right, Captain Rocks is truly generous!"
The crew members revealed envious expressions.
Mythical Zoan fruits were existences rarer than Logia types.
The Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon was a top-tier existence even among Mythical Zoans!
Eating such a powerful fruit and training hard would, at the very least, allow one to become a powerhouse at the Division Commander level!
The upper limit could even rival Admiral-level Division Commanders like Whitebeard and Golden Lion!
Vice Captain Rono's strength was already terrifying enough.
If he added this Azure Dragon fruit on top of that!
My god!
The crew members didn't dare to imagine it!
"It's truly enviable! Captain Rocks actually brought out such a treasure to reward someone."
"Indeed, the Zoan Type, Mythical Zoan, Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon is an extremely rare top-tier fruit!"
"If developed well, his strength will reach a higher level!"
Even the three Division Commanders—Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and John—stared with wide eyes upon seeing the fruit.
These three currently did not have Devil Fruit powers; their main fighting style was cultivating Haki.
Because of this, they had been unable to break through the barrier to become Admiral-level powerhouses.
If they could obtain a top-tier Mythical Zoan fruit...
With the foundation these three Division Commanders possessed, they would instantly leap to become Admiral-level powerhouses!
"Vice Captain Rono, I am willing to pay 1.5 billion Berries. How about selling this fruit to me?"
Captain John spoke up directly in front of everyone.
To curry favor with Rono, John specifically added the honorific title of Vice Captain.
After all, John's strength had been stagnant for several years, and he couldn't cross that threshold to Admiral level.
He was too desperate for a good Devil Fruit.
"Hmph, John, you are too stingy."
"You want to get a top-tier Mythical Zoan rarer than a Logia for just 1.5 billion? Keep dreaming!"
"I offer 2.5 billion! Vice Captain Rono, sell it to me!"
Silver Axe snorted coldly, mocked John, and raised the price to 2.5 billion!
"2.5 billion Berries!"
The onlookers were excited; the captains were starting to fight over it.
2.5 billion was already an astronomical price!
After all, an ordinary Devil Fruit only cost 100 million Berries on the black market!
However, it looked like the final transaction price would be far more than 2.5 billion!
Sure enough!
"3 billion, I offer 3 billion! Give it to me, Vice Captain Rono!"
Wang Zhi also joined the competition!
Charlotte Linlin did not join in, as she was already an ability user.
Golden Lion and Whitebeard watched the bidding with great interest, enjoying the gossip.
After all, they were already ability users, and their own fruit abilities were not bad either.
"3 billion Berries, Captain Wang Zhi is really rich!"
The onlookers sighed with emotion; these Division Commanders were richer than the next.
It was no wonder everyone wanted to be a Division Commander.
"4 billion! I offer 4 billion!"
John steeled his heart, gritted his teeth, and raised the price to 4 billion!
After all, last time he had won a bet against Golden Lion, Wang Zhi, and Silver Axe.
Each of them had given him 1 billion.
He had made a total of 3 billion Berries that time.
"4 billion Berries!"
The pirates present felt like their eyes were about to pop out!
4 billion Berries, what a huge sum of money!
How many years would they have to work to reach 4 billion?
Everyone cast envious glances at Rono!
Now, as long as Vice Captain Rono nodded, 4 billion Berries would be his.
"4 billion Berries? Not selling!"
Under everyone's gaze, Rono spoke calmly.
It was as if 4 billion Berries was just a trivial amount of pocket change!
Everyone was shocked!
Refusing to sell even for 4 billion Berries; as expected of Vice Captain Rono, he really held his ground.
"You won't even sell for 4 billion Berries? Vice Captain Rono, could it be you want to sell it for 5 billion Berries?"
"You should know, the most expensive fruit, the Op-Op Fruit, is only 5 billion Berries!"
"No matter how powerful a Mythical Zoan is, it can't compare to the Op-Op Fruit!"
John stared wide-eyed, thinking Rono wanted to raise the price further, so he tried to persuade him.
In terms of combat power enhancement, the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon was definitely more powerful than the Op-Op Fruit.
But the Op-Op Fruit had a special ability.
It could perform a special surgery on a person to grant them eternal youth!
Even three Azure Dragon fruits added together couldn't compare to that kind of rarity!
And such a fruit only sold for 5 billion Berries!
4 billion Berries was already an astronomical price; did Rono want to sell it like it was the Op-Op Fruit?
"Hehe, who said I wanted to sell it?"
"Even if you offered 10 billion Berries, I wouldn't sell it!"
Rono spoke indifferently, having already decided on the use of this fruit in his heart.
"You won't sell even for 10 billion? Could it be you want to eat it yourself?"
"I remember, didn't you eat the Flame-Flame Fruit?"
John, Wang Zhi, and Silver Axe were all stunned and asked curiously.
Everyone knew that a person could only eat one Devil Fruit at most.
Eating two would cause one to explode and die.
In the eyes of outsiders, the fact that Rono could unleash the terrifying power of the Flame Emperor meant he had indeed eaten the Flame-Flame Fruit.
But only Rono knew that this was absorbing the power of nature, not the same as eating a fruit.
In fact, Rono could eat a fruit.
However, Rono was not interested in the Fish-Fish Fruit.
At the very least, it would take a Mythical Zoan of the ancient fierce beast level to pique Rono's interest.
For example, a Mythical Zoan like the Golden-Winged Great Peng, Taotie, Bai Ze, or Qilin.
Something that could summon wind and rain and dominate the elements.
"Kaido, come here!"
Just then, Rono suddenly called Kaido over.
"Lord Rono, are you calling me?"
Kaido was also a bit confused, not knowing why Lord Rono would suddenly call him at this time.
However, Kaido still eagerly ran over to Rono.
"I remember you haven't eaten a fruit yet, right?"
Kaido nodded; he was currently relying purely on Taijutsu and Haki to fight.
"Well, do you want this fruit?"
Rono raised the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon and shook it a bit.
Kaido didn't speak because he didn't know what to say.
Did he want it?
Of course, he wanted it! This was a top-tier Mythical Zoan!
And it was the Azure Dragon form!
If he could eat it, combined with his already terrifying physical talent, it would be like adding wings to a tiger!
But someone had already bid 4 billion Berries!
Kaido didn't think Vice Captain Rono valued him enough to give him this fruit.
Seeing this, a smile appeared at the corner of Rono's mouth.
"This fruit is yours!"
Then, with a wave of his hand, he casually tossed the fruit to Kaido.
Seeing this, Kaido was completely dumbfounded!
This... such a precious fruit? Is Lord Rono really giving it to me?
How could this be?
This is a Mythical Zoan fruit worth 4 billion Berries!
It wasn't just Kaido!
Even Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, John, and Charlotte Linlin were dumbfounded!
Rocks, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion were also stunned!
Everyone present was frozen!
Eh?!!
Such a precious Mythical Zoan fruit! Vice Captain Rono is giving it away for free?!
