Chapter 67 Imperial Procession
After returning to the Dragon Kingdom with Emru and a group of slaves.
Kaido handed over all the slaves to Yubel to deal with, while he himself took Emru directly into the palace.
Introduce Emlu to Charlotte Linlin and Selene in a concise manner.
Neither of the women objected to the little rabbit joining them.
Kaido is now the king of a country, so it's reasonable, legal, and normal for him to have a harem.
As long as they don't actually become stud pigs, bringing hundreds or thousands of women into their homes, or even just a few or a dozen women, is within their tolerance range.
After that, Kaido called Sunny to his side.
"How's the Electric-Electric Fruit going lately?"
"I can already use it proficiently."
"Have you ever thought about upgrading your Devil Fruit ability here?"
Sonny's breathing instantly became heavy.
"Captain Kaido, I... my current contribution is not enough."
"Hmm, hmm, hmm, you've been handling all the kingdom's affairs lately."
Kaido began to explain:
"The reason I gave you the Electric Fruit ahead of time last time was because you led the team to wipe out the old nobles."
"The reward for this achievement is your contribution to stabilizing the country during this period of chaos."
"So don't feel guilty, you deserve all of this."
Upon hearing this, Sonny took a deep breath, his eyes hardening.
"Although I still feel somewhat unworthy, since Captain Kaido has said so, I will respectfully accept his offer!"
"Uro ro ro..."
Kaido opened the system interface.
[This Month's Trial: Conquer a beautiful woman with a beauty score of 90 or higher (regardless of race) - Trial Completed]
[Trial Reward: The host may choose one of the following rewards!]
[Minerals, Food, Timber, Fresh Water, Seeds, Lifespan, Specialization Replacement, Backpack Space, Fruit Enhancement]
Before officially choosing which Devil Fruit to evolve into: Kaido asked Sunny:
There are two directions in the sublimation of fruit.
"First, enhance attribute abilities; second, enhance animal abilities."
"Last time, I directly chose the second type for Asie, and the ordinary fruit successfully evolved into an ancient type."
"This time I'm letting you choose for yourself. Which one do you choose?"
Sonny pondered for a moment.
"The discharge capacity is sufficient for me, and there is even a lot of room for future development."
"But in terms of physical fitness, I clearly feel that I have reached my limit."
"As we age, our lives will only gradually decline from their peak..."
Sunny looked up at Kaido with a serious expression and said, "Captain Kaido, I choose the second option! Enhance your animal abilities!"
"Uro ro ro..."
Kaido looked at Sunny with a hint of relief in his eyes.
He then asked Sonny, "If you were to choose the Zoology major, which animal would you like the most? No, I should say, which animal would you most like to be?"
Sonny's eyes widened. "This is also an option?"
"Hmm, Zoan-type Devil Fruits are limited by their species and can only evolve into stronger types. However, Paramecia and Logia-type Devil Fruits do not have this limitation, so they can be chosen freely."
Sonny pondered for a moment after hearing this.
He recalled his childhood dreams.
When he was a child, he loved watching the sea.
It's not just because of the beautiful scenery, but also because countless seabirds can fly freely over the sea.
Every time I watch that figure flying in from afar fly away again.
He longed to be like them, abandoning his family and career, flying freely in the sky, and pursuing the dream called freedom.
But life forced him to... he eventually became the new godfather of the Capone family.
Pulling his wandering thoughts back, Sunny solemnly declared, "Captain Kaido, I choose Seagull! I've wanted to be a seagull since I was little! Please grant me the power of a seagull!!"
"Ooh ooh ooh ooh, as you wish!"

[Substance selection complete! Substance selection complete! Devil fruit ability sublimation in progress!]
Nine-colored light enveloped Sonny's entire body.
Shortly after, the light faded, and the system's announcement sounded again.
【ding~】
[The enhancement is complete!]
[The original Paramecia-type Electric-Electric Fruit has been upgraded to a Zoan-type Bird-Bird Fruit, Rare Zoan type, Electric Petal form!]
Sunny tried to transform in front of Kaido.
Its entire body was gradually covered in feathers, its beak transformed into a sharp bird's beak, its arms became bird wings, and its legs became bird claws...
Although, Sonny can't fly yet.
But he did indeed transform into a giant petrel with a wingspan of over three meters.
Furthermore, the petrel's originally dark gray feathers turned into bright blue feathers under the influence of its electric discharge, making it exceptionally beautiful.
Sonny looked himself up and down after the transformation, his face beaming with undisguised joy.
【ding~】
[Capone Sonny's loyalty has increased from 91 to 98!]
The system announcement echoed in Kaido's mind once again.
Upon hearing this, Kaido promptly opened Sunny's information panel.
I glanced at the loyalty rating.
As Sunny excitedly examined his transformed form, he began to check the detailed information about the Sunny Fruit through the attribute panel.
Rare beast species, he'd never heard of it before. He needed to investigate this thoroughly.
A short while later, Kaido sighed silently to himself.
To make a long story short.
To put it more simply, Sunny's current Devil Fruit ability is equivalent to someone eating two Devil Fruits at the same time.
One of them is the Paramecia-type Electric-Electric Fruit.
The other one is a Zoan-type Bird Fruit, Common Type, Petrel Form.
The combination of these two abilities in one person perfectly fulfills the requirements of being a Zoan-type being, in addition to being able to use elemental powers.
To those unaware of the truth, including Sonny himself, this situation would appear to be a Mythical Zoan.
However, according to the system's assessment, Sunny's current abilities are far from meeting the standards of a Mythical Zoan.
So they assigned him a new fruit type—Rare Beast!
After learning the truth, Kaido told Sunny directly.
After all, he is his subordinate. Letting him know the details of his abilities will prevent him from being overwhelmed by numerical superiority when they encounter a true mythical beast in the future, to the point of questioning his existence.
After hearing Kaido's explanation, Sunny smiled magnanimously.
"Although I'm not a true Mythical Zoan, I'm now a dual Devil Fruit user! What more could I ask for?"
After saying that, he ran home excitedly and kept showing off to his wife and son.
Of course, in front of them, he would still boast that he was a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit user.
And so, the next few days...
The "truth" that Sunny was actually given a "Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit" by Kaido gradually spread throughout the royal capital.
Furthermore, the fact that Asie was an Ancient Being was "accidentally" exposed.
The entire capital city was immediately thrown into turmoil by this incident.
Kaido did not offer any explanation, but continued to handle various matters in an orderly manner.
However, his silence only reinforced his image of generosity and magnanimity in the public's mind.
He was even willing to bestow Ancient Zoan and Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits upon his subordinates, even though Asie and Sunny were considered veterans.
So, even if these new members are demoted by one level, is there still a chance they'll be given a normal Devil Fruit?!
The moment this statement appeared, the Beasts Pirates and the newly recruited National Defense Force were thrown into an uproar.
They began to secretly compete, vying for leadership positions and hoping to become the next lucky one to be granted a Devil Fruit.
It was under such public opinion that the morale of the entire Dragon Kingdom rose by a few points.
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
The 1541 newly arrived slaves were handed over to Yubel by Kaido for arrangement.
They were gradually allocated land and houses.
They are actually quite lucky.
Because during the time of the Kingdom of Bessel, hundreds of thousands of people fled the country, and the original farmland has not yet been fully distributed.
Once all the existing fertile land has been allocated, the newly arrived slaves will only be allocated wasteland and will have to start cultivating it from scratch.
Nevertheless, many of these people still want to return to their hometowns.
So Kaido introduced a new policy.
All the slaves he bought from Wang Zhi could go home, but they had to work in the Dragon Kingdom for at least five years before they could gain the freedom to leave the Dragon Kingdom.
Those who refuse to comply with this policy and attempt to escape in advance will be classified as criminals, and their five-year labor service will be extended to ten years.
Furthermore, anyone who escapes a second time and is caught will be sentenced to death.
Thus, with the threat of death on one hand and the lure of a not-too-illusory pie on the other, the restless hearts of the slaves gradually calmed down.
After all, no matter what, in the Dragon Kingdom, they are still farmers.
Apart from being barred from leaving the country for five years and having to pay taxes normally, it's a huge improvement over the slavish life I was destined for before.
Two days later, the World Government's ships arrived.
They officially announced that the Dragon Kingdom had become a member state of the World Government.
Furthermore, with the efforts of major newspapers, the corresponding newspapers gradually began to spread the word around the world.
At that very moment, the system's announcement rang out in Kaido's mind once again.
