Chapter 273: A Call from Dorry
Dorry and the others were men of action. If there wasn't something important, they would never call just to chat. So there had to be a reason.
"Dihihihi… Captain really is sharp. We found an ancient deserted island. There's a black dragon on it, along with a large number of dinosaur creatures."
Dorry laughed.
That made Jiang Qize's eyes light up.
With the cheat ability he possessed, what he needed most were dragon-related creatures. He wondered what this black dragon was like. If it could activate another function, that would be perfect.
"Where are you?"
he asked immediately.
"We… don't know exactly. A storm swept us here."
Dorry replied helplessly.
"Then I'll send someone to find you."
Jiang Qize felt a bit helpless as well. It seemed he would have to wait a while before seeing this so-called black dragon.
"Mm."
They hung up.
"Wind God."
Jiang Qize moved his lips slightly, his voice carried upward thousands of meters by Observation Haki to the Quetzalcoatlus soaring above.
"Yes, sir."
"Find the Giant Warrior Pirates in the New World. Once you locate them, come back and inform me."
he instructed.
"Yes."
Wind God responded, and then the line went silent.
With Wind God's speed, he could locate the Giant Warrior Pirates within a month—perhaps even less.
And in that time, it would be enough for Jiang Qize to reach the Big Mom Pirates and defeat Charlotte Linlin.
As for defeating her, he felt no pressure at all. She might be overwhelmingly powerful to others, but to him now, he could suppress Charlotte Linlin by himself.
However, what he needed was the Soul-Soul Fruit. That was the real reason he was targeting her.
The Soul-Soul Fruit was simply too overpowered. It could manipulate souls. That meant in the future, even death wouldn't truly matter. As long as he transferred his soul into another body, he could possess it.
It was similar to Orochimaru's technique—constantly switching bodies to achieve immortality.
If he only knew where the Op-Op Fruit was, he would seize that as well.
...
West Blue, Sicilian Kingdom.
"Set sail!"
On several massive pirate ships, Capone Bege stood at the bow, shouting at the sea with high spirits.
Each ship flew a flag similar to that of the Dragon Flame Pirates. Theirs bore a silver dragon instead of a golden one—a rank lower.
On every ship stood dozens of mafia members armed with guns and blades. Dressed in suits, they hardly looked like pirates at all.
At last, he could sail the seas.
In this life, he had set out earlier than before. He was only twenty-one now. In the original timeline, he had gone to sea at forty and still became a Supernova.
And in this life, both his strength and influence far surpassed what they once were.
...
Five days later.
Totland Sea.
"Captain, we've entered Big Mom's territory—the Totland Kingdom."
Inside the cabin, Jiang Qize had been cultivating his Haki when a voice came from outside.
"Got it."
Jiang Qize opened his eyes. A flash of golden light passed through them as the Haki surrounding him withdrew.
"Finally here."
He narrowed his eyes.
Then he picked up a fluffy white coat from beside him and draped it over his bare upper body before stepping out.
Click.
As he emerged from the cabin, he saw island after island rising from the sea ahead.
Each island was strangely shaped—some resembled cakes, some glass bottles, others peanuts—every conceivable form. The sight was both peculiar and beautiful.
