I quit the Straw Hats at the beginning and joined the Beasts Group

"Oh, hahaha, you really are a complete monster. You can jump around so fast..."

Kaido, carrying his mace, looked at Ryan in front of him and asked with a smile, "But, are you sure you don't want to leave with us?"

"I have some things to deal with in the first half of the Grand Line... I'll ask for leave first, Boss Kaido!"

Ryan smiled and said, "I don't think you're afraid that I'll run away, are you?"

"If you really wanted to run away, you wouldn't have agreed to join so readily!"

Jin on the side spoke lightly.

From the time Kaido appeared on the Ice and Fire Island and extended an invitation to Ryan to now.

If the other party is unwilling, there are plenty of opportunities to escape.

"Oh, just don't make me wait too long..."

Beasts? Kaido frowned.

He certainly didn't suspect Ryan of wanting to slip away.

Because if the other party is unwilling to join the Beasts Pirates.

He could have slipped away during the chaos on Ice and Fire Island when he was fighting with Aokiji, Garp and the others.

Although he was a little unhappy, he didn't mean to force Ryan to leave with him and others and go to the new world immediately.

"By the way, Ryan..."

Jinn 2.0, standing nearby, suddenly remembered something and said directly to Ryan, "In about two and a half months, our Beasts Pirates' annual Fire Festival will be held. As the new star, you must make an appearance and you can't be absent!"

"No problem, I will meet up with you before then..."

Ryan smiled and nodded.

Looking at the beasts? Kaido and King.

He suddenly remembered something and called out to the two people who were about to activate their fruit power to transform and leave: "By the way, as a member of the Beasts Pirates, I will first contribute some information..."

"Ok?"

Beasts? Kaido raised his eyebrows.

Jhin also looked at Ryan with some curiosity.

"Boss Kaido, if you're not in a hurry to leave the first half of the Grand Line, you can go find a guy called 'Blackbeard'..."

"If we can catch him, the rewards will be huge!"

.......

Chapter 9: Water City, CP and the Straw Hat Crew [Update ]

"Crash..."

Over the rough sea.

A red figure, with blazing flaming wings on its back, was flying there.

Following the instructions of the permanent record pointer, head towards the Water City.

Looking back at the distant sea, Ryan showed a playful look: "Hey, Blackbeard, you're on your own!"

Just half an hour ago.

Although Ryan did not reveal the secret that Blackbeard's body structure was "alien" and that he was able to become a user of multiple devil fruits.

But after knowing how special Marshall D. Teach's natural Dark-Dark Fruit ability is, and that it can even take away the fruit abilities of others.

Hundreds of beasts? Kaido immediately transformed into a blue dragon excitedly.

He called Yanzai Jin, who was also a little shocked, and rushed directly into the distance.

I went to look for someone excitedly.

Over the years, the Beasts Pirates have destroyed countless challengers and killed countless people with special abilities.

Even cadres like the "Flying Six" and the "Three Disasters" were replaced several times in the fierce war and fighting.

However, they were almost unable to recover 03's devil fruit abilities from the enemies and the cadres of the Beasts Pirates who were seriously injured, dying, and could not be saved at all.

I can only watch these devil fruits being randomly reborn in some corner of the world after the death of their ability users. It would be a lie to say that I don't feel regretful.

Otherwise, Kaido would not have wanted to form a legion of animal-type ability users.

He was willing to trade with Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, for an artificial devil fruit that had significant side effects and a very high failure rate? SMILE.

After hearing Ryan say that Blackbeard's ability is likely to allow him to take away other people's devil fruits.

Hundreds of beasts? How could Kaido sit still?

Although compared to the huge population base, Devil Fruit users are relatively rare.

But in waters like the New World and even around the world, there are many people with Devil Fruit abilities.

As long as they catch this guy called "Blackbeard" and threaten him, they will be able to control the power to take away other people's fruit abilities in disguise.

They can directly hunt those powerful people.

Especially some special fruit abilities, their value is enormous.

For Ryan, who originally wanted to "borrow a shell and lay eggs" in the Beasts Pirates, slowly eroding this huge force bit by bit, and in disguised form swallowing up the Beasts Pirates.

The stronger the Beasts Pirates become.

It means that your future power will be stronger.

Moreover, what if it was the Beasts? Kaido really caught this guy Blackbeard.

At that time, he will be able to use the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to seize the fruit abilities he needs.

Better finish those layouts.

……

"Is that the Water City?"

Until dusk.

A fiery red figure streaked across the sky.

Ryan's figure landed on an inconspicuous high ground.

Looking at this stunning water city before my eyes, I couldn't help but sigh: "The sea is truly amazing..."

"The Golden Merry?"

Looking into the distance.

A pirate ship was parked there, weathered and full of traces of repairs.

Ryan's eyes were a little complicated.

Even he couldn't save the Merry.

Because, from the moment this ship officially entered the Grand Route with them, its fate was already determined.

Will burn yourself in the shortest time.

Accompany the Straw Hat Pirates and experience one exciting and short adventure after another.

It was a long and dangerous journey.

It can be said that the Golden Merry has long been overwhelmed.

If we don't decisively change ships in the Water City, an island with a developed shipbuilding industry and well-known far and wide.

The final outcome of the Straw Hat Pirates was that at some unknown time, all the members were buried in the sea along with the Merry.

"Have a safe journey, Merry!"

With a quiet sigh, Ryan withdrew his gaze.

He looked towards the Water City, his eyes becoming fiery: "Franky's House?"

He naturally knew that the design drawings of the ancient weapon, Pluto, were hidden in the body of Carter Fram, the disciple of the fish-man shipbuilder Tom, who was now a cyborg known as Franky.

This is also one of the reasons why he came to the Water City.

But it's not just to pry into the Straw Hat Pirates' corner, he is also planning to recruit Robin, the archaeologist of the Straw Hat Pirates.

"Pluto's blueprints...can't miss them!"

How could Ryan not be interested in the legendary ancient weapon Pluto, which could easily destroy an island with a single shot?

The World Government has a profound foundation, and the mysterious "national treasure" of the Celestial Dragons is suspected to be Uranus, the king of the three ancient weapons.

In the original trajectory.

The World Government once used a new energy source developed by Vegapunk - the Mother Flame (Mother Fire) to activate it.

The power is not only capable of destroying an island in an instant, but also completely wiping out the target island's foundation from the ocean.

On the original sea surface, a bottomless abyss waterfall was left.

The impact has even spread to the entire world.

It's really chilling.

The threat is simply too great.

At the very least, Ryan didn't think that he could withstand the head-on attack of that thing at the moment.

Even Kaido, the strongest creature on land, sea and air, would most likely not be able to stop it.

Even if one could survive that devastating attack, he would be seriously injured if not killed.

We must have the power to deal with and even balance that thing.

Although Ryan has always advocated strength, persisted in training himself, and firmly believed that he could become the "strongest in the world" in the future, he does not like to rely too much on the power of technology.

But he would not be foolish enough to reject it.

For ancient weapons.

His idea is -

He can do without this thing, but he can't live without it.

Not having a sword in your hand is not the same as having a sword but not using it.

soon--

Ryan's figure kept moving across the rooftops of the buildings.

There was a grand parade on the island, with many people wearing masks and riding on water vehicles.

I know that my current identity can easily attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.

He turned and entered a store.

Bought a ghost face mask and a loose robe!

"Hmm, Robin and Chopper's aura..."

Looking towards a hidden corner, 240 Ryan raised an eyebrow: "Those two guys with strong auras who are constantly approaching them, are they CP9 agents?"

Those CP9 agents.

Obviously, he is not only proficient in the six styles.

Moreover, they have already mastered both the Armament Haki and Observation Haki.

Especially the two stronger auras, it can be said that they are not much worse than the current Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and others, and are even slightly stronger.

Although humans are different from beasts.

Such a general perception cannot confirm the target's true specific combat power.

But Ryan could still tell the general strength with the help of his observation Haki.

"That most powerful aura..." Ryan muttered to himself as he gazed into the distance of the Water City. "That must be Rob Lucci, the CP9 member known as the greatest genius in CP9's eight hundred years, right?"

in his perception.

Rob Lucci even under normal circumstances.

I'm afraid he can be compared with an ordinary vice admiral of the Marine Headquarters.
