Sailing: I Open Treasure Chests in the Pirate World

Chapter 47 This fruit is destined for me!

Ian first checked his own ability panel.

He discovered that his [Clay Fruit] ability, which had previously been upgraded to six stars, had now turned gray.

"The Devil Fruit power was transferred, so the original Devil Fruit ability became unusable... That's to be expected!"

Ian could no longer feel the power of the Clay-Clay Fruit that he had become completely accustomed to, and for a while he found it difficult to adapt.

He then looked at the Clay Fruit he had created.

【Name: Clay Fruit】

Star Rating: None

[Description: Paramecia-type Devil Fruit]

[Effect: Omitted]

The information about the Clay Fruit displayed on the System Treasure Chest.

It is exactly the same as the Clay Fruit that Ian saw back then.

This is a genuine Clay Fruit!

If someone else were to eat this Clay Fruit at this moment.

Then the opponent will also directly gain the power of the Clay-Clay Fruit!

"Preliminary preparations are complete!"

Ian first set the Clay Fruit aside.

Then he looked at the Chameleon Fruit user who had been forcibly brought over.

Even now, the other person has not yet woken up.

However, he no longer needs to wake up.

Ian raised his right hand, instinctively wanting to unleash the power of the Clay-Clay Fruit.

He suddenly realized that his Clay-Clay Fruit ability had just been transferred away...

Ian shook his head, stepped forward, and grabbed the Chameleon Fruit user by the throat with one hand.

Click!

A clear cracking sound rang out.

The Chameleon Fruit user instantly loses their life.

Ian immediately aimed the Ring of Control at the corpse's heart, attempting to transfer the "demonic power."

This process occurs extremely quickly.

When Ian removes the Ring of Magic Control.

He has gained a brand new ability.

【Devil Fruit - Chameleon Fruit: ☆】

"The experimental results are exactly the same as previously anticipated!"

Ian looked at the new Devil Fruit ability and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

"I noticed before that some of the functions of the [Ring of Magic Control] are similar to the [Dark Fruit]."

"However, the Dark-Dark Fruit can forcibly steal the Devil Fruit abilities of its users."

"However, the description of the [Ring of Magic Control] states that it only targets [Devil Fruits]..."

"Now it seems that the [Ring of Magic Control] can also forcibly steal the abilities of ability users!"

Ian has no intention of personally trying out the Chameleon Fruit's abilities.

He was channeling the demonic power within the Ring of Demon Control.

Just like when I guided the power of the Clay-Clay Fruit.

Ian transferred the "devil power" of the Chameleon Fruit back into the remaining fruit.

Under Ian's watchful gaze.

The fruit looked as if someone had suddenly painted it with paint, and its skin was covered in bright and dazzling colors.

Tiny bumps grow from the surface of the fruit, densely packed, like the skin of a chameleon.

Zoan-type Chameleon Fruit!

Ian held the Devil Fruit and looked at the [System Treasure Chest].

The information presented in the 【System Treasure Chest】 is the same.

【Name: Chameleon Fruit】

Star Rating: None

[Description: Zoan-type Devil Fruit]

[Effect: The user can transform into a chameleon, possessing the ability to transform in multiple stages]

[Comment: Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Ochumelov Form!]

"A genuine Chameleon Fruit!"

Ian weighed the Zoan-type Devil Fruit in his hand, and a huge weight was lifted from his heart.

The "Devil Fruit Rebirth Experiment" proceeded smoothly.

This means that the overall value of Infinite Hell is even higher than Ian had previously anticipated!

Based on Ian's previous experience.

The number of ability users imprisoned in the city is not large.

In the first five floors, there were basically no Devil Fruit users among the prisoners.

Ian didn't know if these ability-wielding prisoners were imprisoned in the Infinite Hell or used for some other purpose...

For example, it could become the experimental raw material for Vegapunk's artificial Devil Fruits...

But one thing Ian is certain of.

There must be many Devil Fruit users imprisoned in the Infinite Hell!

Some of the prisoners possessed incredibly powerful Devil Fruit abilities.

In legends, the Mythical Zoan type Devil Fruit is even rarer than the Logia type.

There's one in Infinite Hell too!

[Zoan Type, Inu Inu Fruit, Mythical Zoan Type, Nine-Tailed Fox Form]!

Ian sealed the "demon power" from the Clay Fruit back into the Ring of Magic Control.

His Clay-Clay Fruit ability was then restored to its original awakened state.

"Mythical Zoan type [Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit], its ability is 'Transformation'..."

The image of Katrina Deppon flashed through Ian's mind.

"This fruit is destined for me!"

……

the next morning.

The arrival of a group of prison guards broke the deathly silence of the frigid hell.

"I...Ian."

Hannibal, stuttering slightly from the cold wind, shakily took out the key and opened the cell door.

"Your confinement period is over!"

“McGellan asked me to take you to see him.”

In the cell.

Ian looked at Hannibal, who spoke in a rambling and incoherent manner, and shook his head helplessly.

Even if this guy wants to cultivate a strong image of a "tough guy boss" in front of his subordinates.

But you've only been in this frigid hell for a short time, and you've already frozen into this dog-like state...

That's not convincing at all!

Hannibal.

"what?"

"Did you offend the director too?"

"No, no!"

Hannibal was somewhat bewildered by Ian's sudden question.

"Why do you ask that?"

"Because looking at you now, I can't tell whether you are being punished or I am being punished."

Ian walked over to Hannibal and released a lump of clay.

"Would you like me to put a coat on you? I can't guarantee it will keep you warm, but at least it will protect you from the wind."

Hannibal instinctively wanted to nod in agreement with Ian's suggestion.

However, when he caught a glimpse of the prison guards accompanying him out of the corner of his eye, he ultimately refused "firmly".

Chapter 48 The Chameleon Man Was Killed? And His Body Was Disposaled?

"No, no need!"

Hannibal raised his right hand shakily, trying to make a bodybuilding gesture to show off his muscles.

"I'm very strong—Achoo!"

Ian shook his head and then strode out of the cell first.

Hannibal quickly called for the other jailers to follow suit.

The group had just stepped outside.

The icy winds of extreme cold swept over me.

Hannibal shuddered.

To force himself to shift his focus, he changed the subject on his own.

“Ian, the days you were sent to the freezing hell have not been so peaceful in the scorching hell above.”

A scorching hell?

Ian frowned almost imperceptibly.

In order to make up for the energy deficit caused by the increase in [Physicality] points in the past few days, he "borrowed" a lot of food from the food warehouse.

Could it be that someone discovered it?

Judging from Hannibal's tone, it seemed that what the other person wanted to talk about had nothing to do with him...

"What happened?"

Ian continued the conversation along Hannibal's lines, but deliberately changed the subject.

"Could it be that that bastard Shiryu has stirred up some big trouble again?"

"Shiryu...this matter might indeed be related to Shiryu!"

Hannibal moved closer to Ian in a mysterious manner, actually intending to use the latter's body to shield him from the wind.

"Actually, a prisoner has gone missing from the Scorching Hell! And he's even a Devil Fruit user!"

The person you're talking about... could they be a Chameleon Fruit user?
