One Piece: At the start, defeat Momonosuke and take Yamato to sea.

Chapter 237 Please enter my Ten Thousand Soul Banner (Scroll World) 1 Gathering

After it expands and comes into contact with the sea surface, it is surprisingly not affected by the seawater?

Is it because Brook's bones are so light that they can float and run on the sea?

It inflates into a 'balloon' so it can float on the sea.

This is the most reasonable logical self-consistency that Luo Ji could come up with.

However, that's just how unreasonable Devil Fruit abilities are.

As long as there is no direct contact with seawater, or the contact area is small, Devil Fruit users are unaffected.

Looking at the somewhat simple-minded San Juan Wolf, Luo Ji had no idea what heinous crimes this guy had committed to be imprisoned in Impel Down by the World Government.

"What were you arrested for?"

Luo Ji asked San Juan Wolf.

"I was just looking for food and accidentally destroyed some human towns."

San Juan Wolf scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said that besides sleeping, he liked to eat.

Moreover, he likes to swell up and land on islands everywhere in search of food and to sleep.

Once he swells up, not only do the smaller humans fear him, but he can also easily cross oceans and jump around effortlessly.

He enjoyed the feeling of being so huge, so he got used to the massive 180-meter-tall warship, which was ten times the size of his own body.

While foraging for food, he inadvertently trampled and destroyed many buildings, and may have also collapsed some buildings while sleeping, which led to him being driven away by many humans.

However, after landing in a prosperous kingdom, he was besieged and defeated by many powerful naval warriors and imprisoned here.

Later he heard that the island kingdom was actually the ancestral home of a Celestial Dragon family.

He has committed unforgivable acts of vandalism and has been sentenced to life imprisonment, meaning he will be held in Impel Down for life.

"You can come out! But try not to appear in the form of that giant warship again!"

"We'll use this expansion ability during the battle."

"Also, work hard to develop this ability in the future. Ten or twenty times is not the limit of this ability. I hope you can develop it to more than fifty times and become a kilometer-tall giant!"

Luo Ji looked at San Juan Wolf, this 'young' foolish giant who was over ninety years old.

This age is indeed considered young among giants, equivalent to a human in their twenties or thirties.

"Okay! Thank you, Captain! I will definitely be obedient!"

Upon hearing that Luo Ji was going to take him in and release him, San Juan Wolf barked excitedly.

He hadn't had a full meal in many years.

This is torture for a foodie.

Giants are considered adults around sixty years old. When San Juan Wolf was captured, he had only been an adult for a few years and had just enjoyed a few years of carefree 'brutal' adventures.

Seeing that even the simple-minded giant San Juan Wolf had been recruited by Luo Ji, the prisoners shouted wildly, waiting for Luo Ji's 'favor'.

As the massive seastone handcuffs were unlocked by Luo Ji, San Juan Wolf instinctively wanted to expand his body and become the largest giant in the world.

But remembering Luo Ji's warning, he had no choice but to reluctantly suppress the thought and continue to maintain the normal body of a giant.

"Captain, I'm hungry~"

San Juan Wolf looked at Luo Ji with longing, like a begging husky.

"I think you shouldn't be called San Juan Wolf, you should be called San Juan Husky!"

Luo Ji looked at the giant and summoned a large food storage scroll to feed the husky a hearty meal.

Fortunately, his real body is that of a normal giant; otherwise, Luo Ji really wouldn't be able to afford to support a 180-meter-tall super giant.

"San Juan Husky? Does that name sound nice? I can change it..."

Upon seeing the mountain of food several meters high, San Juan Wolf's eyes lit up as he devoured it, not forgetting to respond to his new captain, Luo Ji.

A mere name is nothing compared to food and freedom!

"..."

"Forget it! It's already simple-minded, I can't give it this stupid name, or it'll become even dumber!"

"A wolf it is!"

Luo Ji watched the frenzied San Juan Wolf devour his food and took a deep breath.

If the wolf's true form were 180 meters tall, he wouldn't bother taming such a huge target; it wouldn't be of much use, and he wouldn't bother raising it.

This giant form is still acceptable.

"Captain Luo Ji! I am also an ability user, and I possess the ability of a Mythical Zoan Nine-Tailed Fox!"

Seeing the wolf subdued by Luo Ji, Katrin Demi couldn't help but show off her abilities.

That's it!

Luo Ji even took a liking to the wolf's Paramecia-type expansion ability.

Her Mythical Zoan Nine-Tailed Fox ability completely overwhelms the Sake-Sake Fruit ability of the Great Barrel and the Inflate-Inflate Fruit ability of the Wolf.

"You're actually a Mythical Zoan-type ability user?"

Luo Ji's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected that even this Xuan Yue Hunter had already obtained Devil Fruit abilities before joining the Blackbeard Pirates.

This is exactly what Luo Ji wanted!

He was too lazy to search for the Nine-Tailed Fox's abilities.

Blackbeard Teach's Devil Fruit hunting seems to have only helped crew members like Shiryu of the Rain, Van Augur, Burgess, and the Demon Horse Strongman, who hunted down various Devil Fruit abilities.

"Yes! Captain, let me out!"

Katrin Delme grinned, her eyes filled with certainty.

But Luo Ji looked expectantly at the tyrannical king Abaro Pizarro, who had not yet spoken.

This caused Katrin Delme's expression to change, her hands clenched tightly, and a hint of unease flashed in her eyes.

Do you have Devil Fruit powers?

Luo Ji stared at the tyrannical king, waiting for his answer.

If even the Paramecia-type Island-Island Fruit power is in the Evil King's possession, then Luo Ji will be even richer this time.

The Island-Island Fruit ability is also a pretty good Paramecia-type ability.

One of the Paramecia-type green-blooded beings qualified to become a Seraph.

The Island-Island Fruit's power allows the user to merge with everything on the island and sense what's happening on it.

This has a wider range of fusion than Pica's Paramecia-type Stone-Stone Fruit ability from the Donquixote Family, and can be considered a superior version of the Stone-Stone Fruit ability.

"Meow haha! I didn't expect you to find me after all! It seems that some of my legends still circulate on the high seas."

The tyrannical king laughed arrogantly, looking at Luo Ji with haughty eyes.

"I am the King of Islands, a Paramecia-type Island-Island Fruit user!"

"Let me out now, and I can make you the strongest overlord of this sea."

"Of course, if you can give me the captain's position, I am fully capable of leading you to greater heights!"

Avalo Pizarro laughed heartily, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, several of which were chipped or broken.

"Haha! Perfect!!"

"Please enter my Ten Thousand Souls Banner—no, I should say, my scroll world! I will lead you away safely!!"

Luo Ji grinned wildly, summoned a world scroll, and erected it at the entrance to the Infinite Hell, like the entrance to the hell world. Then he began to violently open the doors of all the cells.

However, Luo Ji showed no intention of removing the sea stone handcuffs and shackles from these prisoners.

This situation, completely different from that of the Red Earl, Barrett, and the Wolf, made the Evil King, the Crescent Moon Hunter, the Big Barrel... and other villainous prisoners feel a sense of unease.

Why doesn't Luo Ji remove their Sea Stone handcuffs and shackles?

Are they not qualified to join the Luo Ji World Group?

Are there other tests for joining the group?
