One Piece: From the Rocks Era to King of the World

Chapter 278: Fruit of Cause and Effect
"Damn it! This damn storm has blocked our view. We have no idea what's going on inside!"

"What a pity! I was originally thinking of waiting for the Roger Pirates and the Hiku Pirates to be defeated and then take advantage of the situation. Now it seems there is no chance!"

During the battle between the Hiku Pirates and the Roger Pirates, there were spies from many other forces observing outside Storm.

They wanted to know the specific battle situation, but they did not dare to go into the storm.

With this level of natural disaster, even a fleet of the Navy's Demon Slayer Order would be in danger of death if it rushed in. These spies with little combat power dared not risk their lives to go in.

Helplessly, they could only wait outside and wait for the outcome of the battle.

Just like the previous battle between the Infinity Pirates and the Navy, the attention of almost all forces in the world was focused on the Sea of ​​Edelweir.

But Li Yuan's attention was diverted to one thing, or to be more precise, a person, or a devil fruit!
"Xia Qi, have you really found the Sky Islander named Urugi?"

Li Yuan asked with a hint of surprise in his tone. After all, he had already asked Xia Qi to pay attention to this matter when Xia Qi's ability could cover the Sky Island.

There are not only islands like Bika and Golden Town in the sky, there are many other sky islands scattered in the sky and white sea.

So looking for other sky islands and then finding a man named Urki is a huge task.

In the original work, Urouge is one of the 11 supernovas who appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago with Luffy. He has a bounty of 1 million berries. He is the captain of the Broken Monk Pirate Group, one of the Worst Generation, with the title of "Strange Monk". He was born in Sky Island and the crew members called him "Sengzheng".

Of course, these are not the point. The point is the devil fruit he possesses, called the Parahuman Cause and Effect Fruit, which can control the power of cause and effect.

That is cause and effect. Li Yuan once heard a saying: time is supreme, space is respected, fate is not determined, cause and effect are king!
In the original work, this devil fruit did not show very powerful abilities, but Li Yuan believed that this devil fruit was absolutely powerful, it was just that the person who ate this devil fruit was unable to bring out the power of the devil fruit.

Li Yuan naturally wanted to obtain such a powerful devil fruit, so he asked Xia Qi to look for this man named Urouge while searching for other sky islands.

In the original work, Urouge was 45 years old when he appeared. According to his age, Urouge is only 20 years old now. Based on the development level of the devil fruit when he appeared, it is very likely that he had not eaten the devil fruit at the age of 20.

And this devil fruit is most likely the one that Urouge found on Sky Island.

"Well, we've found him, but we don't know if he's the one you're looking for."

Xia Qi nodded.

Although she didn't know why Li Yuan was looking for this person, every time Li Yuan asked her to investigate something, it was beneficial to their Wuji Pirates, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Li Yuan held Xia Qi's hand and walked into a large mirror next to them.

Since Xia Qi has found the other party, it means that Xia Qi's mirror world has been connected to the sky island where the other party is.

Under the leadership of Xia Qi, Li Yuan and his companions quickly arrived at the sky island where Urouge was through the mirror world.

When Li Yuan saw the flag of the Wuji Pirates flying at the highest point of Sky Island, he knew that this place had been occupied by the Wuji Pirates.

"Captain, Madam Captain, this sky island has been completely occupied, and the residents have not shown much resistance to our rule!"

After seeing Li Yuan and Xia Qi appear on this sky island, Captain Aimi immediately came over to report the situation of the sky island to Li Yuan.

"Aimi, it's you. Did you occupy this sky island?"

Li Yuan looked at Aimi in front of him in surprise.

After all, he seldom saw this guy Aimi. He picked him up because he saw the Steel Fruit he ate, and then threw him into the weapons foundry factory in Wano Country. He didn't pay much attention to him later.

Unexpectedly, after all these years, Aimi has gradually grown up.

"Yes Captain!"

Emily said excitedly.

"Not bad, not bad. Keep working hard and strive to be promoted to the cadre level. Your Iron Fruit ability is still quite good. In the development of the Iron Fruit, you should have integrated the forging process into your own steel forging. This forging method can make your body stronger and harder."

"Then you should work towards strengthening your own attack. For example, when attacking, you should instantly enter the forging state, that is, the steel quenching stage. This will make his body extremely hot. For example, at the moment of attack, you should imitate the state of steel bursting, making your fist more powerful. For example."

After seeing Aimi's progress, Li Yuan couldn't help but start to instill in him some ideas on the development direction of the Iron Fruit.

As for whether Aimeile can listen and whether she can develop this ability after listening, it can only be decided by Aimeile herself.

"Thank you for your guidance, Captain!"

After hearing Li Yuan's words, Aimi said excitedly that the development direction mentioned by the captain was indeed feasible in theory. Once he could develop it, his strength would become even stronger!
"Okay, you can experiment and develop it slowly later. Take me to see that Ulki first."

Li Yuan waved his hand and said, "Captain, follow me. Although we found Wuerqi, we didn't do anything to him. We just monitored him and prevented him from leaving this empty island."

After saying that, Aimi led Li Yuan and the others to where the residents of Sky Island lived.

"That's the island master. Who are the two people beside him? The island master seems to respect them very much!"

Li Yuan, Xia Qi and Aimi were walking on the streets of Sky Island, attracting many onlookers from Sky Island.

The Sky Islanders here are all pure Sky Island residents, with small white wings on their backs after molting, and the clothes they wear are similar to monk's robes.

Li Yuan didn't care about the people watching, but asked Aimi to speed up and come to where Ulki lived.

Ulqui's family of three all live here. When Aimele and his friends arrived here, Ulqui's family immediately came out to greet them.

"Master Island Master, what can I do for you?"

Urouge was tall, but he felt a little uneasy at this moment. After all, he had seen with his own eyes that the island master in front of him beat up the most powerful warrior of Sky Island with just one punch!
"Have you ever seen this fruit with strange patterns?"

Li Yuan took out the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, opened the page about the Parahuman Devil Fruit, the Fruit of Cause and Effect, and handed it to Urouge to read.

"A devil fruit with strange patterns? Sorry, I've never seen one!"

After Urouge carefully looked at the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, he thought about it and finally shook his head.

"Since Urouge hasn't seen it, then this devil fruit may still be on Sky Island."

Li Yuan's Observation Haki clearly knew that Urouge was not lying, and then he asked someone to bring a piece of seastone to prove that Urouge had never eaten the devil fruit.

"Your name is Urouge, right? I see you have great talent. Are you interested in joining our Infinity Pirates? Becoming one of us?"

Then Li Yuan looked at Ulki and asked.

In the original work, Urouge became a supernova of the same level as Luffy. I think he should have good talent and be worthy of Li Yuan's attention.

"I, I do!"

Although Ulki didn't know Li Yuan's identity, seeing that the island owner next to him was so respectful to Li Yuan, Ulki was not stupid, so he naturally agreed excitedly.

"Emile, since Urouge is from this sky island, you should take care of him and make him stronger and grow up as soon as possible."

Li Yuan looked at Aimi next to him and said.

"Don't worry, Captain. Leave it to me. I will make sure he grows up in the shortest possible time!"

Emily patted his chest and assured.

At the same time, the eyes looking at Urouge became different. Anyone who could be noticed by the captain and personally invited to become a crew member would not be bad.

Nowadays, all those who can become cadres in the Infinite Pirates are invited on board by the captain himself. Even he himself was selected by the captain himself, so he knows that as long as Urouge seizes this opportunity, he may become a cadre of the Infinite Pirates in the future!

"Also, you send everyone to search for devil fruits on this sky island, and ask the residents of the sky island to help find them, and give them generous rewards. I think they should be happy to help."

Li Yuan said.

He also didn't know whether the fruit of cause and effect was on this sky island now. He could only say that it was possible that it was on this sky island. All he had to do next was to send someone to look for it.

"Yes, Captain, I'll send someone to look for him now."

After Aimi finished speaking, he took Urouge to gather his men and prepared to conduct a full-scale sweep to search for any place on the Sky Island.

"Master Island Master, who was that gentleman just now?"

After being away from Li Yuan, Ulki couldn't help but ask about Li Yuan's identity.

"That sir is the captain of our Wuji Pirates. Captain can be understood as the master, and Wuji Pirates can be understood as an organization that rules hundreds or thousands of islands like this Sky Island."

"The captain is the most powerful man in the world and the master of our Wuji Pirates. Below the Sky Island is the Qinghai Sea, where there are many islands."

"From now on, when you see the captain, just call him captain. And the one next to the captain is the captain's wife."

"In our Wuji Pirates, there are positions such as squad leader, captain, ordinary cadres and core cadres."

Seeing Urouge asking, Emil gave him some common sense about the Infinite Pirates as they walked. After all, they might all be cadres of the Infinite Pirates in the future, so it was always a good idea to build good relationships in advance.
