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

Chapter 42 Artificial Azure Dragon Fruit and Artificial Fire Dragon

Several prisoners, barely clinging to life in the laboratory, were already desperately awaiting their deaths.

He was killed by falling debris from the building caused by the violent impact, a truly unjust and tragic death.

"I'm taking the artificial Azure Dragon Fruit!"

Luo Ji entered the research institute. Ignoring the poisoned prisoners, he began searching for the storage room next to the prison cells.

If even a piece of trash like Momonosuke can find something, how deep can he hide it?

After searching for most of the day, Luo Ji finally found the artificial Devil Fruit that was protected by an ordinary glass dome.

The glass that Momonosuke could break with tools, Luo Ji smashed with a single punch.

"The power of the dragon is truly fascinating, even if it's a flawed pink one."

Luo Ji looked at the artificial Azure Dragon Fruit, a hint of longing appearing in his eyes.

But he still held back, as an artificial Devil Fruit ability seemed insufficient to reach the awakening stage.

It will also subject Luo Ji to the curse of the sea.

It's not worth it!

It was a rare and extraordinary cheat code that allowed him to transmigrate, granting him three sets of rule-based abilities that were free from curses and flaws.

Why would he needlessly find a fatal flaw for himself?

Who knows, maybe one of the dragons he draws in the future will even reach the level of an emperor.

You should know that Luo Ji is not afraid of even the Sea Stone now.

In the future, he will be able to carry the Seastone and fight against those ability users.

Are you scared?

He can forcibly drag his ability-wielding enemies into the sea.

He will be the strongest naval warrior in the future.

"Hehe, Rebecca's pink hair suits the pink dragon perfectly, the dragon knight's wish is just around the corner."

Luo Ji suddenly curled his lips into a strange laugh. Yamato's white hair paired with a white wolf, Rebecca's pink hair paired with a pink dragon...

These are his left and right guardian beasts.

Luo Ji wandered around the laboratory for a bit, and seeing that there was nothing to gain, he left without bothering with the poisoned prisoners.

"Let's see how much poison gas it can hold."

Looking at the dense purple poisonous fog around him, Luo Ji summoned a new giant scroll and, like fishing, filled the scroll with poisonous gas.

"It's just another tactic, but it's useless against those powerful individuals."

After acquiring several poison gas scrolls, Luo Ji lost his motivation and decided to leave immediately.

With just one dragon roar, Luo Ji looked into the distance.

"The Lizard Dragon of Punk Hazard?"

Luo Ji thought for a moment, then rode the flying crane over there.

This artificial dragon, created by Vegapunk, contains a portion of the Lunar race's genetic bloodline and can adapt to any environment.

The fact that we can survive in this toxic fog is due to our racial talent.

Later, Akainu Sakazuki and Aokiji Kuzan fought a ten-day, ten-night battle on Punk Hazard, turning the island into Ice and Fire Island.

This lizard dragon was still able to adapt to that extremely cold and scorching environment and continue to survive.

However, this lizard dragon has some intellectual problems and is completely untrainable.

It was once sent to Mary Geoise to be used by the Celestial Dragons, and was given a name by them.

However, because he was too stupid and unable to control himself, posing a great risk of harming the Celestial Dragons, he was eventually sent back to Punk Hazard.

"Whether it's smart or not, as long as it can be controlled by Xiaoyu's dumpling, that's fine."

Luo Ji smiled. This lizard dragon was a fire dragon that could breathe fire, and it should have no problem dealing with some pirates worth a hundred or two hundred million.

After all, even Teabeard, with a bounty of 8000 million Berries, was frightened by this fire dragon and was chased away.

Despite Zoro's ability to kill this fire dragon, this dragon, which possesses some Lunar genes, has quite strong defense and can withstand most gun and cannon attacks.

Without considerable strength, it would be impossible to kill this artificial fire dragon created by Vegapunk at great expense.

"Ow~"

The fire dragon lay listlessly in the poisonous fog, occasionally letting out a roar.

Within its limited wisdom, let it follow Vegapunk's orders and protect the island.

Without someone to feed it, it has to go out to sea to find food every day.

Life is harder than before.

"Xiaoyu, put on your protective suit and get a dumpling ready to welcome your new pet."

Luo Ji used the power of the Scroll Fruit to send a message to Xiao Yu in the Scroll World.

A new pet?

Xiaoyu's eyes lit up, and the other crew members also began to look forward to it, wondering what kind of monster it was.

Will he be a Mythical Zoan type ability user like Komachiyo and Ushimaru?

Xiaoyu quickly changed into her protective suit, prepared a few dumplings, and called out to Luo Ji, who was already ready.

As Luo Ji opened a small part of the scroll world, Xiao Yu was summoned by him.

"Is it a dragon?"

When Xiaoyu saw the enormous red dragon, her eyes were filled with surprise and delight.

Could this be the dragon that the great swordsman Shimotsuki Ryuma slew back then?

"Get the dumplings ready."

Luo Ji had just drawn his sword, but after thinking about it, he felt there was no need to fight this stupid dragon.

He released a large mass of sea monster meat, stuffed the dumplings Xiaoyu had prepared on top of it, and threw it down to the stupid dragon.

The fire dragon, who was in a daze, saw the giant meat falling from the sky and seemed to recall the comfortable days when it was fed to it.

It sniffed it, then bit it and swallowed it whole.

Before long, as a strange glint flashed in the fire dragon's eyes, Xiaoyu shouted out her command.

"Stand up!"

With a loud boom, the giant dragon, which was seventy or eighty meters long, stood up.

"Fly!"

With another command from Xiaoyu, the fire dragon vigorously flapped its wings. Its hollow carbon bones, with a hardness almost like diamonds, allowed it to fly nimbly even in strong air currents.

"It really flew?"

Looking at the dull-witted fat dragon, Luo Ji thought it was too fat to fly.

And then it just flew up out of nowhere, it was so amazing.

This fire dragon's saliva is flammable, almost like oil, and it has unique organs that generate flammable gases for breathing fire.

"Let's go! Let's ride dragons!"

Luo Ji, carrying Xiao Yu, jumped onto the fire dragon. Its tough skin was not only fire-resistant but also extremely hard.

"Fly out!"

Under Xiaoyu's excited command, the silly dragon carried out the order seriously and flew into the sky.

As they burst out of Punk Hazard's purple poisonous fog, they saw the ocean outside once again.

"Xiaoyu, make it breathe fire!"

"Alright! Dragon, breathe fire!"

Under Luo Ji's instructions, Xiao Yu began to relay the orders, since only she, as the ability user and master, could forcibly command these beasts.

"Roar!"

A huge pillar of fire shot out, looking quite magnificent.

"It's big, but the temperature isn't quite right."

"However, I might as well take this free fire-breathing lizard!"

Luo Ji sensed the fire dragon's attack power; it was indeed a bit weak, but it was enough.

"Xiaoyu, from now on, it's not allowed to stick its tongue out. It looks too stupid!"

Luo Ji continued speaking, while Xiao Yu continued to relay the instructions.

"Alright, let everyone come out and ride the fire dragon!"

Luo Ji smiled with satisfaction. This stupid dragon was quite effective at showing off and impressing others.

After all, dragons have almost disappeared from this world and only exist in legends.

At least many pirates and civilians have never seen a flying dragon.
