Chapter 359: Returning to Dragon Island
Tap!
The two of them landed on a patch of grass on the island. The ground was covered in thick layers of dead leaves, giving off a rotting smell.
"Roar, roar~"
Beastly roars echoed from all around, mixed with rustling and squeaking sounds, adding a strange liveliness to the cool, shaded forest.
Jiang Qize glanced around and smiled faintly.
Immediately after—
Buzz!
A surge of Conqueror's Haki burst out.
But it was only for an instant.
Tisi felt that the man before her had become even more captivating, her gaze growing slightly dazed.
Meanwhile, in the forest a hundred meters away, a two-meter-tall wild boar flashed a golden glint in its eyes before walking toward them.
"Wait a moment."
Jiang Qize said gently as he looked at her.
"Mm." She nodded softly.
After a minute, the wild boar slowly stepped out.
Tisi looked at it, then at him, and quickly understood.
"I'll handle it."
Jiang Qize said, and in the next instant, his body appeared in front of the boar.
His large hand pressed down.
Crackle~
A burst of electric current surged out.
The boar trembled a few times before collapsing lifelessly to the ground.
Slash!
A blade of light flashed across the boar's thick hind legs, severing both at the root as they flew into the air.
Whoosh, whoosh…
In an instant, the skin was stripped clean from both legs, leaving only the fresh red meat.
The scene wasn't particularly bloody.
Tisi watched with wide eyes, full of curiosity.
Naturally, she didn't find it cruel. Though she was a girl, she had killed chickens before, and a wild boar was simply food—there was nothing unusual about it.
Clang!
Another flash of blade light—
A massive tree ahead was instantly cut down, sliding to the ground.
Clang, clang!
Jiang Qize waved his hand again, and the huge tree was quickly shaped into two round wooden stools.
Then he used two branches to skewer the boar legs and returned to her side.
"Sit down. I'll roast some meat for you."
Jiang Qize lifted the boar legs in his hand and smiled.
"Mm." Tisi nodded sweetly.
The two sat down.
He then used his Magma Giant Fruit ability to ignite a fire and began roasting the meat.
At the center of the island, beneath a towering mountain peak,
there was a massive hollow cave, pitch black inside.
At the center of the cave stood an enormous, cold, pillar-shaped machine. At its top, faint lights flickered rhythmically.
"Are you full?"
Jiang Qize looked at her and asked.
He had already scanned the island with his Haki and found nothing besides wild beasts.
For some reason, he felt a slight unease.
"I'm full."
Tisi nodded.
"Then let's go."
Jiang Qize grabbed her hand, condensed the elemental bird once more, and the two of them stood on it as it shot into the sky.
Jiang Qize glanced back at the island, frowning slightly.…
Before long, they returned to Dragon Island.
"Captain…"
Seeing him return—with a girl beside him—Robin's eyes flickered with confusion and vigilance as she called out.
"How many islands does our Dragon Flame Pirate Crew control now?"
Jiang Qize asked calmly, holding Tisi's hand as he sat on the throne.
"Reporting to Captain: within the Dragon Flame Sea, including Dragon Island, we now control a total of thirty-four islands. Of these, twenty are small islands around three kilometers in size, ten are medium islands of about ten kilometers, and four are large islands measuring around twenty kilometers. The four large islands are positioned in the four directions surrounding Dragon Island."
Robin glanced at Tisi before reporting.
