Chapter 272: The Mink Tribe
"Here we go!"
Jiang Qize said solemnly.
In the next instant, he placed the two targets into the synthesis interface and pressed synthesize.
Buzz!
In an instant, Zunesha beneath Zou disappeared, and the entire island was left suspended in midair.
But the very next second—
"Moo—"
The newly synthesized dinosaur instantly transformed into Zunesha's form. Its massive back steadily caught Zou, with only the slightest tremor passing through.
Information about the dinosaur appeared in Jiang Qize's eyes.
[Name]: Titanosaurus
[Type]: Herbivorous Dinosaur
[Ability]: Transformation (can transform into the Zou Giant Elephant)
[Strength]: Marine Headquarters Captain (Pseudo-Admiral)!
"So… in Titanosaurus form, it hasn't obtained Zunesha's full strength?"
Jiang Qize frowned thoughtfully.
Only in Zunesha form did it possess pseudo-admiral-level power?
"Still, not a bad result. The Titanosaurus probably won't need to revert to its original form much anyway."
He shook his head.
"Outsider, leave Zou!"
"Get off, outsider!"
"Get out! Get out!"
The Minks charged toward him, roaring in anger.
The Mink Tribe bore no inherent hostility toward humans, but they could not tolerate Zou being harmed. After all, they had lived upon Zunesha's back for generations.
So they moved to drive Jiang Qize away.
Jiang Qize looked at them coldly, and a surge of Conqueror's Haki burst forth from his body.
Buzz!!
The wave of Conqueror's Haki swept over them, and time itself seemed to freeze.
One by one, the Minks halted. A flash of gold passed through their eyes before they rolled back and fainted.
Thud, thud, thud…
They collapsed to the ground.
Even the two leaders of the Mink Tribe managed to endure only three seconds before falling unconscious.
"The Mink Tribe can use electricity in combat. That makes them somewhat useful. I won't kill you—for now."
Jiang Qize said calmly as he looked at them.
Then he turned to the Zunesha beneath his feet (which he would continue calling Zunesha).
"Have the Mink Tribe capture special creatures and dinosaurs from remote islands and place them on your back. I'll come periodically."
"Yes, Master!" Zunesha replied.
"Good."
Having said that, he had no further interest in visiting the Mokomo Dukedom.
However, he still spent two hundred million to give Zunesha a mid-level enhancement, increasing its strength further and allowing it to master Observation Haki and Armament Haki. After all, that was crucial for improving its defensive power.
Soon after, he returned to the Dragon Flame.
"Set course for the Big Mom Pirates' main base."
Jiang Qize landed on the deck and spoke calmly.
"Yes, Captain!"
Camon responded.
After steering the Dragon Flame in a new direction, he glanced at the captain curiously.
"Captain, that big guy—is he our ally now?"
"He's a senior."
Jiang Qize looked at him and said teasingly.
"Uh… alright."
Camon understood. "Senior" was the title they used for the captain's summoned beings. That meant they had gained another senior.
Still, he felt delighted. The more seniors they had, the stronger the Dragon Flame Pirates would become.
He returned to the lookout tower. Most of the time, he kept watch there, though he could also train while stationed above.
Gurulu, gurulu—
At that moment, Jiang Qize's Den Den Mushi rang.
He answered it.
The snail transformed into a familiar face.
"Dihihihi… Captain, I hear you've come to the New World!"
The voice of Blue Ogre Dorry came through.
"Mm. Got some good news for me?"
Jiang Qize's lips curved into a smile.
