Chapter 85 Can we freeload a meal?
"I'm the one who discovered this Devil Fruit!"
Olga stood with her hands on her hips, her cute little face full of pride.
At the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little expectant.
Legend has it that Devil Fruits will appear on their own before those who desire them.
Although this Devil Fruit has been trapped underground for who knows how many years.
But Olga still felt...
Since I was the first to discover it, this Devil Fruit must want me to become its master!
"Kaido-chan! Quick, help me figure out what kind of power this Devil Fruit has!"
"If it has good abilities, I'll choose that one!!"
Urged on by the little girl, Kaido stepped forward and picked the fruit from the withered bonsai tree.
This little tree looks like a blueberry bush, so the fruit looks like a giant blueberry.
While recalling the impression of the fruit in his mind, Kaido used the system's identification function to examine it.
[Zoan Type, Cat-Cat Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Fear Cat Form!]
[After consumption, you will gain the ability and power to transform into a fearsome cat!]
"Oh~~ This Devil Fruit... seems to be an Ancient Zoan, the Fear Cat form!"
Dr. Clover suddenly peeked out from the side and carefully examined the Devil Fruit in Kaido's hand.
"I remember the Fear Cat Fruit in the encyclopedia looks pretty much like it."
"Ancient Zoan, an extremely rare Devil Fruit!" Dr. Clover couldn't help but tease, "Little girl, you're in luck!"
However, Olga wasn't very happy; instead, her expectant expression quickly turned into disdain.
"What? It's just an Ancient Species? I thought it was some powerful Paramecia or Mythical Zoan."
"Never mind, let anyone eat this fruit, I don't want it."
Olga's attitude surprised everyone present.
"Good heavens, you don't even bother with ancient species, just how picky is your little sister!"
"If I were given this fruit, I would eat it right now without hesitation!!"
"Ancient species are already very powerful. If you want them to be even stronger, then your request might be a bit difficult to fulfill, little sister!"
The archaeologists sighed in despair.
This is an ancient species!
Do you even know the value of Ancient Zoan Devil Fruits?!
"Uro ro ro..."
Kaido smiled calmly and silently put away the Fear-Cat Fruit.
Aside from Olga herself, probably only he knew that what Olga had just said was actually a lie to deceive these archaeologists.
After all, it's not appropriate for outsiders to know that Kaido can upgrade his Devil Fruit.
As for the Ancient Zoan, given Kaido's current system's ability to evolve, it will directly become a Mythical Zoan with just one more level up.
Therefore, Olga was actually quite satisfied after learning that the fruit was an ancient species.
However, there's no need for archaeologists to know these secrets.
"Where did you find this fruit?" Kaido asked, deliberately changing the subject.
Olga turned and pointed, "Right over there!!"
Kaido strode over.
It was discovered that a layer of the entire wall had been deliberately scraped off.
Below this scraped wall, potted plants were placed at intervals.
Of course, these potted plants have now completely turned into dead wood.
"Uro ro ro ro..."
Kaido looked at the scraped wall and couldn't help but laugh, "Could this have originally been a huge mural?"
An elderly female archaeologist with white hair approached to examine the site and nodded in deep agreement.
"Probably!"
Then her beautiful brows furrowed.
"To destroy such precious historical and cultural relics with such violence, those villains who attacked the underground city are simply too barbaric!!"
Kaido chuckled twice. It seems the archaeologists haven't realized yet that the World Government was actually the one who destroyed this country!
………………
after that.
Archaeologists conducted a preliminary exploration of various important locations throughout the ancient city.
Their main finds were precious historical artifacts, and they also stumbled upon a relatively well-preserved treasure vault.
Kaido opened the door to the treasure vault, and miraculously, most of the gold and silver treasures inside were still intact.
"Hmm, hmm, we didn't loot it properly! No, it's more like the people attacking this city simply didn't have time to loot it!"
When the Navy raids an island, except for islands where the Celestial Dragons hold hunting games, they usually launch a Buster Call.
The Buster Call will completely destroy everything on the island's surface and will strictly adhere to the operation's timeline, ignoring the evacuation of friendly personnel from the island.
Once the pre-arranged time arrives, the shelling begins.
Given this premise, the navy, having successfully killed the king and other key personnel, would certainly prioritize evacuation.
As for treasure, you might have the life to seize it, but not the life to enjoy it.
Moreover, while the Buster Call is terrifying, it can at most plow the surface of an island. To completely sink an entire island into the sea is no easy task.
This is why Kaido was able to bring the archaeologists to this underground city and successfully obtain these undiscovered treasures.
After gathering all the unplundered treasures with a cloud of flames, Kaido returned to the room where the Poneglyphs were stored and gathered them up with the same cloud of flames.
"Hmm, Dr. Clover, it should be very valuable to you, right? Would you like me to take it back with you?"
"Is that alright, Kaido? You've really gone to a lot of trouble!"
Dr. Clover patted Kaido on the shoulder, his old face full of satisfaction that the young man knew how to behave.
……
Back on Earth, it was already midnight.
The archaeologists, their stomachs growling with hunger, continued to follow Kaido back to where the ship had docked.
Kaido thoughtfully placed the Poneglyphs on the archaeologists' ship before bidding them farewell:
"Urr err err, Dr. Clover, I'm going back to the pirate crew now."
The archaeologists expressed their gratitude for Kaido's actions, and then the two sides formally parted ways.
Goodbye, Kaido!
"I hope we can continue our adventures together next time we meet!!"
And so, Kaido, along with Machima, Olga, the green lizard, and a large amount of treasure engulfed by the flames, returned to the already established Beast Camp.
“┗|艹皿艹|┛嗷！！”
Not long after returning to camp, the pirates erupted in deafening cheers.
It turns out that Kaido plans to use a portion of the treasure he has acquired as a reward.
This decisive move ignited the pirates' passion.
The banquet, which had already ended hastily because Kaido was absent, began again.
Kaido, Olga, and the others joined in, drinking from large bowls and eating large chunks of meat.
Tonight, after exploring the underground ancient city, I'm really starving.
That is, while Kaido and his crew were enjoying their dinner (midnight snack).
The archaeologists who had previously said goodbye suddenly came knocking on the door again.
"What brings you here again?" Kaido swallowed the food in his mouth and asked.
The archaeologists were somewhat hesitant to talk about it.
Therefore, in the end, it was Dr. Clover, this seasoned veteran, who took the initiative to speak:
"Excuse me, Kaido."
"Our crew members on the ship are just as busy as we are, and haven't had time to prepare dinner."
"So, can we mooch a meal from you today?"
Kaido was taken aback for a moment, then nodded happily.
"sure!!"
