Chapter 427 Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon Form
While the girls trapped in the other dimension were diligently exploring the island, a magical beast quietly appeared on the island where they were. Afterwards, it found the girls at the fastest speed.
Looking at this void skull before them, the corners of the girls' eyes twitched uncontrollably.
If Natsuki hadn't already notified them that the magical beast created by Hakuto was this void skull, these girls would probably have been scared to death.
"Can't that Hakuto create some cute magical beasts? Why did he have to create this void skull? Who is he trying to scare?"
Asuna complained speechlessly. Honami, however, said with a smile, "I guess Hakuto was in a hurry to create this magical beast, so he didn't think too much about the shape or anything."
As the skull swallowed everyone in one gulp, the next moment, everyone appeared in Hakuto's home.
Seeing these people return, Hakuto breathed a sigh of relief.
"Seeing you all return safely puts my mind at ease."
Seeing these girls return, Hakuto finally felt completely relieved. However, Hakuto glanced sideways at Rindo. He would definitely teach this chief culprit a good lesson later.
Organizing a group bonding trip that nearly resulted in the entire group being wiped out—Hakuto wished he could pry open their heads to see what was inside them.
Although Hakuto knew that this was just bad luck and not really Rindo's fault, at this moment, she had to take the blame. After all, it was Rindo who proposed the trip.
"Um, we found this on that island. So for its sake, please forgive me."
Rindo handed the Devil Fruit to Hakuto in a fawning manner. Seeing the Devil Fruit, Hakuto was a bit surprised, but then his brow furrowed.
The void skull appeared again, swallowing Hakuto. Then he appeared on the island where the girls had been earlier. The moment he saw this island, Hakuto immediately knew its name: Little Garden. The prehistoric island from One Piece where the two giants fought.
Then Hakuto returned again. "The island you were on before should be Little Garden, the prehistoric island from the One Piece World. But I didn't see the two giants. So it's very likely not the period when Monkey D. Luffy set sail. It might even be before the two giants arrived on that island."
"We don't care about that. Can you forgive this matter for the sake of this Devil Fruit?"
Rindo said to Hakuto, a bit timidly. Although she knew Hakuto wouldn't actually punish her, she also knew that this time, she was going to take the blame.
"We all agreed to this matter. If anyone is to blame, it shouldn't be just Rindo."
Then the girls started talking over each other. Hakuto just rolled his eyes. "I didn't say I was going to do anything. Why are you all so nervous?"
Then Hakuto took the Devil Fruit from Rindo's hand. "I wonder what kind of fruit this Devil Fruit is."
Hakuto examined the Devil Fruit. The fruit was overall cyan in color, but he couldn't tell what kind of Devil Fruit it was. The main reason was that there was no illustrated guide to Devil Fruits in the One Piece World.
"How about I create a magical beast and have it eat this fruit?"
"Decide for yourself. But if it's a powerful Devil Fruit, wouldn't it be a bit of a waste to let a magical beast eat it?"
If it were a powerful Devil Fruit, that would be too wasteful.
"You're overthinking it. I can just regenerate the Devil Fruit later. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter. Going to Little Garden, even if the Devil Fruit regenerates there, it wouldn't be hard to find another one."
That made sense. The group nodded instinctively.
"We want to come too."
The group was also curious about what kind of Devil Fruit this was and immediately said they wanted to come along.
Hakuto had no objection to this. With him around, he wasn't worried about anything happening to these girls.
The void skull swallowed Hakuto and the others again, and then they appeared in Little Garden.
Next, Hakuto created a magical beast and had it eat this Devil Fruit.
The result made Hakuto and the others widen their eyes.
Wow. It was actually the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon Form.
The Devil Fruit possessed by one of the Four Emperors, Kaido.
This was truly amazing!
Hakuto couldn't help but exclaim. But then he looked at this newly regenerated Devil Fruit and fell into silence.
"Does anyone want to eat it?"
The group was quite interested in this Devil Fruit, but then they all shook their heads one after another.
"I have an idea."
Natsuki, who had come along for the fun, said with a smile.
"Go on."
"Give it to Bai Yuekui. Let her research it, and preferably create artificial Devil Fruits and find a way to eliminate the weaknesses of Devil Fruits."
"That's worth a try."
Hakuto's heart stirred. If Devil Fruits had no weaknesses, their value would naturally multiply.
Hakuto looked at Rindo.
"What do you think?"
This Devil Fruit was found by Rindo, so Hakuto naturally needed to ask for her opinion.
"I have no objection. Just give me one later if possible."
"After the weaknesses are removed, we'll give you one. So it's decided. This Devil Fruit will be handed over to Boss Bai for research. After the research yields results, we'll arrange one for you."
"Then I have no objection."
Rindo shook her head, indicating she had no further objections.
"Alright, then let's go back."
Hakuto brought the group back to the real world. Then he sent each of them back to their own places before finding Bai Yuekui and handing over the Azure Dragon Fruit to her.
After that, Hakuto locked himself away to continue increasing his spiritual power reserves. Being a three-second man was not acceptable.
Moreover, the more spiritual power Hakuto had, the more powerful the magical beasts he could create.
