Vongola Primo in One Piece - Chapter 393
North Blue, Geraldi Island
The entire island was engulfed in magma now. The central volcano continued to spew its wrath, and the cries of those clinging to their lives echoed even within the city.
Amidst the magma, Zakuro was casually taking a bath while whistling. He then took a shivering Den Den Mushi.
Den Den Mushi had its own consciousness, and in such an environment, it was undoubtedly terrified, fearing that one wrong move from Zakuro could sink it into the magma. As a small and defenseless Den Den Mushi, it couldn’t bathe in magma like Zakuro.
It was a pity that Admiral Akainu was killed at the hands of Ugetsu Asari during the recent battle. Otherwise, it would have been quite interesting to see Akainu’s reaction when he saw Zakuro bathe in magma.
“Lord Byakuran, I’ve taken care of those who defied us. I may have overdone it a little. In a short while, Geraldi Island might cease to exist. However, I did acquire some interesting information…”
“Not long ago, those bastards found a Devil Fruit, but it was quickly taken away by the World Government. Based on the description, I’m almost certain that the Devil Fruit was Akainu’s Magma-Magma Fruit. It seems that the World Government intends to use this Devil Fruit to nurture a new Admiral-level combatant.”
Magma-Magma Fruit, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that was exceptionally powerful and destructive. After Akainu’s death, the Devil Fruit was back in circulation.
Although nurturing an Admiral-level combatant wasn’t an easy task, simply consuming this Devil Fruit would at least make someone a Vice Admiral-level combatant. The sheer power of the Magma-Magma Fruit made it a formidable asset.
This was partly the reason the World Government didn’t kill powerful Devil Fruit users immediately, especially those who possessed dangerous abilities. Instead, they would capture them and imprison them in the Sixth Level of Impel Down, delaying their deaths and preventing their Devil Fruits from circulating once again.
Devil Fruits like Shiki’s Float-Float Fruit and Byrnndi World’s More-More Fruit fell into this category.
“Although Magma-Magma Fruit seemed appealing, it’s not essential for us. You can even kill that Devil Fruit’s former user easily. So there’s no need to worry.”
Byakuran responded as he nonchalantly enjoyed some marshmallow. “However, I have a task for you. There’s a small fellow in the North Blue who’s worth our attention. Bluebellf has already headed there, but capturing him is no easy task. I need you to assist and ensure that you capture him alive.”
Upon hearing this, Zakuro emerged from the magma and flew using his Dying Will Flame. “A guy that’s worth Lord Byakuran’s attention? I’ll follow Bluebell’s Vivre Card to get there. I’m curious to see what kind of person would make Lord Byakuran deploy two of the Real Six Funeral Wreaths.”
For some reason, Zakuro’s tone carried a hint of jealousy. Could he have some special feelings for Byakuran? Regardless, when Byakuran gave an order, he would carry it out with everything he had, and that was a fact that wouldn’t change.
Byakuran chuckled and said, “Yes, I believe in you. That guy is quite intriguing, and you’ll find out why when you meet him. His name is Trafalgar Law, and in a way, he’s a doctor. By the way, Daisy will be here soon!’
Daisy had been unlocked when Zakuro destroyed Geraldi Island earlier. Now, among the Real Six Funeral Wreaths, only Kikyo was missing. Ghost, on the other hand, was a unique case. It wasn’t clear whether the system would unlock it or if Byakuran had to find Ghost himself after unlocking his ability to connect into himself in parallel universes.
However, the family was now considerably powerful, even though they had yet to face any challengers. After all, they were in the North Blue, where the pirates were pretty weak.
As for the lguy mentioned by Byakuran, Trafalgar Law, he was indeed an intriguing individual. As Op-Op Fruit user, Law had caught the attention of several major forces, including Doflamingo and the World Government. His Devil Fruit allowed its user to perform Perennial Youth Operation, which allowed them to grant eternal life to someone else by sacrificing their own life.
Byakuran, however, had no personal interest in immortality. He simply found the young man interesting, and if he could be of assistance in dealing with Doflamingo, it wouldn’t hurt to provide him with a little support. For now, Millefiore Family was cooperating with the World Government, and they didn’t wish to confront Doflamingo. Nevertheless, Law and Doflamingo held a personal vendetta, and pirates’ vendettas were beyond the reach of the World Government. In addition, the Five Elders would be relieved if Doflamingo was eliminated, ensuring that the Celestial Dragons’ secret remained a secret.
“Daisy? He’s quite slow, considering it’s been several years. Kikyo is the only one remains, huh? If we manage to eliminate all our enemies before he arrives, I wonder how he’ll feel. Will he see himself as useless? Hahaha!”
After a hearty laugh, Zakuro followed Bluebell’s Vivre Card to reach his destination. That girl couldn’t distinguish between mission and playtime sometimes If the person that Byakuran mentioned ran off his mouth, Bluebell might beat him up even though Byakuran already warned Zakuro to bring the target alive, so he should get there as fast as possible to avoid any accident.
