Chapter 317: In the Midst of Evolution
On Dragon Island, the hundred-meter-long Raptorex lay on the ground. From the black-cyan-gold body of the Raptorex, an aura capable of shaking space slowly spread outward. One scale after another grew across its skin, and a faint golden glint appeared beneath its eyelids.
Its massive claws turned dark gold, emitting a faint sharpness. The space around its claws had already begun to distort.
Meanwhile, its blood and bones were undergoing transformation. A trace of gold appeared in its blood. These faint golden strands of blood radiated a terrifying aura, while also giving it a hint of sacredness.
The other dinosaurs on Dragon Island were also changing. One after another, their bloodlines were evolving.
…
Jiang Qize could feel their transformations—their potential was rising little by little.
This increase was not in terms of strength, but in terms of potential.
He then opened the attribute panel for Giant Fang.
[Name]: Giant Fang Dragon
[Type]: Carnivorous Dinosaur (Bloodline Evolution in Progress)
[Abilities]: Transformation (can change into a humanoid form), Soul-Soul Fruit (can plunder souls and lifespan, freely manipulate souls), Pseudo-King Physique (cannot be broken by attacks below Admiral level; Admiral-level attacks reduced by 30%; fatal injuries recover within 10 minutes), Advanced Conqueror's Haki, Top-Tier Armament Haki · Ignore Defense, Advanced Observation Haki Peak · Future Sight.
[Strength]: Navy Headquarters Pseudo-King Level!
He had guessed correctly. Once the bloodline evolution was complete, Giant Fang would likely become a dinosaur possessing true dragon bloodline—a so-called sub-dragon.
Then he opened the summon interface.
After that, he spent 100 Beli to randomly summon a dinosaur.
[Name]: Wonder-Wing Dragon
[Type]: Small Pterosaur
[Abilities]: None
[Strength]: Ordinary
It was a small dinosaur with the head of a bird and the body of a bat, its body covered with long fur.
"As expected, only the dinosaurs that have already been summoned can undergo bloodline evolution. Luckily."
Jiang Qize narrowed his eyes slightly. Fortunately, he had summoned a bunch of dinosaurs in advance. Otherwise, this round of bloodline evolution would have left him at a loss.
…
In an unnamed sea of the New World.
"Caesar Pirates, submit to me and I'll spare your lives!"
Red the Aloof stood atop a massive and imposing pirate ship, looking toward the enormous Caesar Pirates fleet opposite him.
Caesar, wrapped in demonic aura, floated in the air, looking down at everything with crimson eyes that glimmered with light.
"Red the Aloof, remnants of the old era—you should disappear from this world!"
A powerful aura burst from Caesar. The sky and earth instantly dimmed, and a gigantic demonic shadow formed in the sky.
Terrifying demonic energy coiled around his body. A pair of enormous demonic wings spread out behind him, while two spiral golden-patterned horns grew from his head.
"Roar~"
A demonic roar shook the heavens and the earth.
Caesar, Zoan-type · Mythical Beast · Demon Form!
"Not a bad fruit."
Red the Aloof looked at Caesar, nodded, and then his body vanished from where he stood.
Boom!!
In the blink of an eye, the two clashed fists. A terrifying explosion erupted, accompanied by shockwaves sweeping outward. The sea within a thousand meters boiled, and even the sky was torn apart.
"A bunch of trash!" On the Red Demon pirate ship, Barrett glanced at the Caesar Pirates and sneered coldly. A powerful aura surged from him as he charged toward the Caesar Pirates.
"Arrogant!"
Among the Caesar Pirates, another pirate shrouded in black energy snorted coldly before vanishing from where he stood.
The two pirate crews collided, and the great battle began.
