The exploration of the uninhabited island is progressing smoothly, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, after being attacked by Irene, Ji Guoyuan, who led the team, exuded the aura of his body intentionally or unintentionally.

There are many giant creatures on this island, and the creatures that are taller than the white apes they have encountered before have also bumped into a few along the way.

Although the beasts do not have the domineering ability to see, hear, and see, these creatures have innate intuition that is many times stronger than that of humans. The breath released by Ji Guoyuan was like a higher-level beast, which made those past giant beasts choose to retreat.

From the coast to the foot of the volcano in the middle of the island, with the foot strength of the people of the country, it took nearly three days to walk.

In the past few days, the navy has eaten and slept in the open air, although it has the protection of Jiguo Yuanyi, but along the way, the spirit of the navy is also highly tense, and they dare not relax for a moment.

After walking out of the primeval forest, the navy breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

The temperature at the foot of the volcano began to drop suddenly, and the summit was covered with snow, and several rivers flowed down the ridge towards the forest, and the snow melted on this towering volcano and merged into the river, which was actually the source of fresh water on the island.

With the help of the navy, the military doctor took out the utensils and collected the preliminary investigation mission at the foot of a mountain, and the preliminary investigation mission of Ji Guoyuan and his group was over.

Let his subordinates rest at the foot of the mountain for a while, and Ji Kunichi plans to investigate the activity of this volcano on his own.

Flying from the foot of the volcano to the top of the mountain, it only took more than ten seconds to follow the national edge.

How can you tell the difference between an extinct volcano and an active volcano? The main thing to look at is whether the volcano is in the eruption cycle, or to see whether the volcano has erupted in modern times, which is a rather long observation process, and generally speaking, it takes a professional person to conduct geological exploration before reaching a conclusion.

It's just that when Ji Guoyuanichi's military boots stepped on the snow around the crater, he already had a judgment.

"Extinct volcanoes."

The climatic conditions at the top of the mountain were completely different from those at the foot of the mountain and the primeval forest, and when Ji Guoyuan stepped on the snow around the crater, there were already clouds and cold winds above his head, and Ji Guoyuan's clothes were blown and hunted.

A blizzard is about to fall.

Ji Guoyuan felt the solid ice under his feet, glanced at the green in the crater, and came to a conclusion in his heart.

I have to sigh, the power of nature is really magical!

Inside the volcano, there is a green area, and instead of forming a crater lake above the crater, this extinct volcano has formed a volcanic green space, the height of which is hundreds of meters lower than the location of the crater, on the mountainside of the volcanic channel.

And the area is not small, as far as the eye can see, I am afraid that there are thousands of square meters.

The green space is full of dwarf grass, and you can see the head at a glance.

Ji Guoyuan wore a gas mask, jumped lightly, and jumped directly from the back pass towards the volcanic green area.

Stamped his feet lightly, felt the solidity of his feet, raised his head, and Ji Guoyuanyi's eyes noticed that in the center of this green space, there was a strange small tree more than one meter high.

This peculiar little tree grows in the middle of the low lawn, which is quite eye-catching, and it has not been discovered before after the country edge stands in the crater, but after coming to this green space, it was suddenly discovered.

There was only one branch of the small tree, and it was twisted and twisted, and on the branch of the small tree, there was a heavy fruit hanging from it.

It was a huge golden fruit shaped like an ostrich egg, and on this fruit, it was covered with red moire.

Under the gloomy sky now, this touch of golden red on the green land is still so dazzling.

"Devil Fruits?"

Ji Guoyuanyi's figure quickly approached, looked at the low tree in front of him that was only up to his waist, slowly squatted down, and looked at this devil fruit.

He quickly searched for relevant memories in his mind, but in the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book he had seen, it didn't seem to record the Devil Fruit in front of him, and after thinking a little, Ji Guoyuan shook his head lightly, and stretched out his hand to pluck the Devil Fruit from the fruit tree.

"Da-"

With a soft thud, the fruit and the branch parted. The trunk of the tree, which was still "towering", quickly deflated at this moment, as if it had lost water, and soon became dry.

And when Yuan Yi took the fruit, he could clearly feel that the green of these dwarf grasses on the lawn was even more vibrant. Under this gloomy sky, there seems to be a little fluorescence.

“.”

Ji Guoyuan carefully observed the changes in the surrounding environment and was silent for a long time.

In a few moments, a little snow fell from the sky, and the snowflakes fell on the green space, and suddenly disappeared.

After leaving the green space of the volcanic passage, Ji Kunichi's skin and muscles couldn't help but tighten.

The temperature at the top of the peak is already below zero, and in that green space, the temperature is pleasantly more than 20 degrees.

The temperature changes too quickly, and Yuan Yi is also a little unbearable.

"There are still Devil Fruits growing in such a place, which is worthy of being a secret treasure on this sea."

"The harvest is very large, so let's stop here for the investigation, and wait until the branch stabilizes, and then gradually develop this island."

Returning to the peak, Ji Guoyuan examined the surrounding environment, and then swept his body and quickly descended towards the foot of the mountain against the ground.

In the blink of an eye, Ji Guoyuanyi's figure disappeared into the crater that towered into the clouds.

"Da!"

The surging domineering spirit quickly converged as Ji Guoyuan fell back to the ground, and when his feet stepped on the ground at the foot of the mountain again, the navy members who were originally sitting on the ground to rest wanted to get up and salute one after another.

Yuan Yi waved his hand, and then beckoned to the military doctor:

"Doctor Beru, please give me a box, I'm going to put something."

Seeing Jiguo Yuanyi's gesture and listening to Jiguo Yuanyi's words, the navy noticed Jiguo Yuanyi's left hand at this time, holding a golden fruit, and the fiery red cloud pattern on it made everyone recognize the origin of this thing at a glance.

"Evil Devil Fruit?"

"General, did you find this thing on the volcano?"

Ferland looked at Jiguo Yuanyi in amazement, and said in disbelief. Although he hadn't gone up to the volcano to see it, just by looking at it he knew that that kind of place was definitely a Jedi where no grass grows.

When Ferland was in the Naval Academy, he learned about Devil Fruits, and although he had not seen them with his own eyes, in the unified textbooks of the Navy, Devil Fruits have the most basic characteristics of plants.

It was the first time he had heard of such a thing as a Devil Fruit growing in the Jedi.

And when Ferrand grew so big, it was the first time he had seen a Devil Fruit in kind.

Although the Sword of Dawn branch has a reserve of Devil Fruits, and it is also open to all navies, it is too difficult to obtain those two natural Devil Fruits.

"Well, I found it inside the volcano."

"There is no record on the Navy's Devil Fruit Illustrated Book, it is a Devil Fruit that has never been seen before."

Ji Guoyuan said casually, not caring about the Devil Fruit he got at this time. This kind of devil fruit with unknown effect is of no use to a strong person of his level.

At most, it will be added to the reward vault and let the subordinates compete for it.

It's just that the Sword of Dawn has been established for some time, and none of the two natural Devil Fruits he got earlier can be taken by the Navy.

Is it too difficult to get the Trials quest for the Devil Fruit?

Not necessarily, the natural Devil Fruit is a rather rare existence, and the trial task he assigned is the most basic entry requirement.

To be able to resist under Mihawk for a quarter of an hour, then the domineering and sword skills of this navy must have a considerable level of proficiency.

Only when such a guy gets the Devil Fruit of the natural system can he have a more long-term development.

Otherwise.

If you don't consolidate your own strength, you will get the Devil Fruit early, which will only restrict the development of that navy, become dependent on the fruit, and lose your core competitiveness.

Someone like Smoker who used a natural Devil Fruit like this.

Ji Guoyuan Yi can't allow such a guy to appear in his own troops!

"Hey, it's worthy of a general, you can find the Devil Fruit if you casually explore the terrain and landforms."

"You're really favored by God!"

The military doctor Beilu was a young man in his thirties, Wenwen was weak, and after hearing Jiguo Yuanyi's words, he took out a black bag from his backpack and handed it to Yuanyi.

Yuan Yi put the Devil Fruit in the bag and said with a smile, "How can you say such an exaggeration. ”

"It's just a coincidence."

"The volcano hasn't erupted in years, and the ice at the crater is already thick."

"And inside the volcano, solid ground has also been formed."

"At present, it seems that it should be an extinct volcano, and of course, the possibility of its eruption cannot be ruled out."

"But for us, let's stop the investigation first."

"Pack up, we are ready to leave, and when the collected minerals and plants are tested and the results are out, the branch is stable, and then we will develop this island."

"Today, let's spend the night here, and tomorrow morning, return to the warship."

Ji Guoyuan tied the Devil Fruit around his waist, and like the navy, he sat down cross-legged to rest.

Hearing about Jiguo's arrangement, the navy began to set up tents and collect wood to make a fire and boil water. The navy was already well prepared for this trip, and there were many animals and beasts on the island, so there was no need to worry about food at all.

After eating and drinking, the navy began to store fresh water, make jerky, and soon filled their bags.

The sun is rising.

Mihawk, who stayed on the warship, got up early as usual, and the navy on the warship was taken out by Ji Guoyuan, and he enjoyed the happiness of being alone.

After a brief wash, Mihawk went to the galley of the warship, took a piece of beef from the cold storage, took some ingredients, and cooked his own breakfast.

As a person who has requirements for the quality of life, Mihawk will never allow his food to be confused to deal with the past!

"Zizizi-"

Early in the morning, there was a soft sound of frying meat in the kitchen, and the faint aroma of meat wafted out far away.

Not long after, Mihawk appeared on the deck with a roll of newspaper under his arm and a tray in his hands. In the middle of the tray lay a few slices of bread, a plate of meat that had been cut into small pieces, and half a glass of red wine.

Mihawk sat down on the bench next to the railing, looked out at the early morning sea, slowly grabbed his goblet, and took a sip of wine to "appetize".

The morning sea breeze was a little cool, and Mihawk wore a thin shirt and leaned against the railing, enjoying his breakfast while reading the newspaper.

Recently, the four seas have obviously calmed down a lot.

The newspapers published them were all "little things".

It's nothing more than a sea thief who has appeared somewhere, and what he has done, and the bounty has reached tens of millions; Or maybe a small country was attacked by pirates and suffered heavy losses, and then under the heavy blow of the navy, a certain pirate group was wiped out.

For Mihawk, reading the newspaper is nothing more than knowing what is going on in the world.

Maybe in the eyes of others, the kind of sea pirate with a bounty of tens of millions, more than 100 million is already a big deal.

But in Mihawk's eyes, it couldn't be smaller.

Tens of millions of pirates don't even have the qualifications to enter his eyes. From the establishment of the Sword of Dawn to the present, the pirates that have been defeated are also the top ones who look at the entire sea!

With the ascension of the Sengoku period, the world situation became relatively stable.

And in the New World, the most famous Whitebeard, Charlotte Lingling, began to be called the Emperor of the Sea by the pirates. However, this name is still only circulating on a small scale, because many pirates have scoffed at it.

Emperor of the Sea?

Which sea emperor's chassis is inside, there are enemies?!

The Sword of Dawn, which succeeded the first national edge, is an existence that everyone has to scare about in the new world.

"Huh?"

Just as Mihawk was enjoying the rare silence of the morning, a figure suddenly flew onto the deck.

Mihawk muttered softly, slowly raised his head, and saw a bare-chested, barefoot wild man appear in front of him, looking at the plate beside Mihawk, his eyes lit up.

The wild man who appeared on the deck of the USS Dawn at this time was none other than Irene. God knows how long it has been since he has eaten meat with a taste, every day is fruit and pure meat, and no matter how much he eats, he will get tired.

Erin hesitated for several days, and it was only today that she finally made up her mind to eat meat that tasted different. I want to go to sea with Jiguoyuan to see the outside world.

"That."

"Can I taste that?"

"I won't eat you for nothing, I'll exchange with you."

Erin spoke, jumped and quickly disappeared on the deck, and before long, Erin jumped onto the deck, and above his head, there was a rock plate, on which was full of meat and unknown fruits and vegetables.

Mihawk knocked on Erlang's leg, picked up the fork in his hand, inserted a piece of meat from his plate and put it in his mouth, chewing while looking at the inexplicable young man who appeared in front of him at this time, his eyes showing a little surprise.

Erin is only a little over ten years old, and she can actually jump on a warship dozens of meters high during the operation, such physical strength is quite amazing.

At this time, the rock pan and things he was dragging on his head also had hundreds of catties.

This can be called a sentence of talent.

Erin looked at the silent Mihawk, the excitement on her face dimmed slightly, put down the rock plate in her hand, and said to herself, "Isn't it enough?" ”

Seeing Erin's lost appearance, Mihawk slowly put down his fork, put his wrong hand on his knee, looked at Erin, and suddenly said:

"What's your name?"
