**Section 181**
Suddenly, Ryuzaki had a brilliant idea.
If... if stamina could maintain the gate, if Armament Haki could maintain the gate, why couldn't Sword Intent?
With this thought in mind, Ryuzaki tried it out.
Once, twice, three times...
he didn't know how long he tried, until his head buzzed and a wave of exhaustion washed over him.
"Success?"
Ryuzaki was overjoyed. He had actually used Sword Intent as an energy form to open and maintain a gate.
However, unlike stamina or Armament Haki, maintaining the gate with Sword Intent made Ryuzaki more prone to exhaustion. This wasn't physical exhaustion, but mental exhaustion.
Ryuzaki yawned, feeling genuinely tired, and then snuggled into Monet's arms, hugging the soft, fluffy ball (breast), and happily fell asleep.
At first, Monet didn't notice anything unusual, because Ryuzaki always liked to snuggle into her arms and rest against the ball.
But after a few days, Monet began to notice something was wrong!
Because Ryuzaki was sleeping too much. Sleeping at night was one thing, but sleeping during the day too?
"Hello, hello, Ryuzaki..." Monet shook Ryuzaki worriedly.
Six days had passed!
It was noon, and Ryuzaki had eaten a drowsy meal before falling asleep again!
Monet was very worried, truly worried.
It felt like a young woman who had just married her new husband, only to have him fall ill in bed!
"Hello, Ryuzaki, please don't let anything happen to you..." Monet was anxious, truly anxious.
*Purupurupuru, purupurupuru...*
Just then, the Den Den Mushi next to Ryuzaki rang!
**Chapter 126: Sleeping Upgrade (Part 2)**
Just then, the Den Den Mushi next to Ryuzaki rang!
Monet hesitated, wondering whether to answer it?
If she answered, it didn't feel right; what if she messed things up and ruined Ryuzaki's plans?
The Den Den Mushi rang for a while, then went silent, and after a while, it rang again...
Finally, the sound of the Den Den Mushi woke Ryuzaki up.
Ryuzaki answered the Den Den Mushi in a huff, "Who is it? Have you no manners? Don't people want to sleep?"
The person on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was stunned. Sleeping?
A surge of anger welled up inside him.
"Sword Immortal, have you been sleeping the whole time?"
"Of course I'm sleeping! I'm tired..."
"Wait, this is Sengoku, you dare hang up..."
*Kacha!*
He really hung up!
Sengoku was completely bewildered.
He had originally sent Sword Immortal to infiltrate Dressrosa to investigate, and they had secretly agreed that Ryuzaki would report back periodically.
Sengoku waited and waited, but there was no report from Sword Immortal.
Sengoku assumed something had happened to Sword Immortal and was very worried. After much hesitation, he finally contacted him.
But to his surprise, that damn thing was sleeping!
Sengoku was so angry he smashed his desk!
As for Monet, who was listening in from the sidelines in the room, she was completely bewildered. What... what was going on? Wasn't Sengoku the Fleet Admiral? Ryuzaki, is it really okay for you to talk to Sengoku like that?
Monet was conflicted. Ryuzaki's current condition seemed a bit off, but she didn't know what to do.
Telling the Navy wouldn't work either, since Ryuzaki had been doing a lot of things behind their backs. If Sengoku found out, he would definitely issue an arrest warrant for Ryuzaki!
So she waited and waited. Ryuzaki did nothing but eat and sleep every day.
As for going to the toilet and taking a bath, Monet had to help him.
Three months passed. One morning,
Ryuzaki stretched out his arms and legs. "Ah—I slept so well!"
"Ryuzaki, you're finally awake!"
Monet was very happy. She could sense that Ryuzaki's eyes were no longer drowsy and sleepy.
"Hmm? Monet." Ryuzaki chuckled, lifting Monet's chin. "My beautiful secretary, you must have been taking care of me all this time!"
"Yes, that's right." Monet nodded, blushing slightly.
"What a virtuous woman!"
Ryuzaki's praise made Monet blush even more!
"By the way, how long have I been asleep?"
"More than three months!"
"Eh? That long?" Ryuzaki scratched his head. "It's been so long, it's time to report to Sengoku. Just say the investigation failed!"
Thinking this, Ryuzaki contacted Sengoku via Den Den Mushi.
Monet tried to stop him, but it was too late!
***
**Section 182**
"Hey, Sengoku! It's me, Sword Immortal!"
"Hmm, Sword Immortal, how's your investigation going?"
"After more than three months of dedicated investigation, I've practically worked day and night, diligently and conscientiously, alas, unfortunately, I haven't been able to find anything!"
"Is that so?" Sengoku's icy voice came through: "I think you've been sleeping for more than three months!"
**Chapter 127: The Tragic Kyros**
Ryuzaki was completely dumbfounded. Holy crap, how did Sengoku know? This is utterly illogical.
"You bastard, you damn bastard..."
Sengoku's furious roar echoed from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, making Ryuzaki's ears practically calloused!
Helpless, Ryuzaki had no choice but to hang up temporarily.
At this moment, Monet recounted what had happened to Ryuzaki, and Ryuzaki suddenly realized that he had answered the Den Den Mushi in a daze, but unfortunately, he was too confused at the time to remember!
Damn it, this is so frustrating, what should I do...?
"Never mind!" Ryuzaki scratched his head and said with a grin, "There's always a way out. I'm so handsome, I'll definitely be fine."
Ryuzaki chuckled, then glanced at his level, and his smile widened even more. So happy, so happy!
His Swordsmanship Foundation had actually upgraded from **Lv 94** to **Lv 97**.
Ryuzaki was indescribably thrilled!
You know, improving in the later stages of swordsmanship is extremely difficult. Even leveling up once a year is considered fast!
But Ryuzaki had leveled up three times in three months, it was practically like leveling up on a rocket!
I wonder if Hawkeye would be so jealous he'd want to kill Ryuzaki.
Damn it, he's working so hard to train, and you're just sleeping and leveling up.
It's so frustrating to compare yourself to others!
Now, Ryuzaki has passed the initial stage.
Sword Intent is indeed a higher level of energy, but unlike physical strength and Armament Haki, Sword Intent can only be acquired after reaching level 90 in swordsmanship.
Therefore, even if the energy level of Sword Intent is high, if the amount is too small, maintaining the Marker Gate is still quite difficult.
Right now, Ryuzaki can barely manage; at least, maintaining one Marker Gate with Sword Intent doesn't make him feel sleepy anymore!
Since the cultivation of Sword Intent has been entrusted to the Marker Gate, then…
"Monet, let's play together!"
"Eh?"
Monet nodded shyly. As an excellent secretary, she naturally wanted to satisfy her boss, perhaps by accompanying him in a romantic swim…
Although Ryuzaki doesn't often write in his diary, today he surprisingly did.
The entry read: "I had so much fun today, so much fun!"
He and Monet took a bath together, changed clothes, and even wore matching outfits!
Then, the two of them held hands and went shopping on a date!
"Ryuzaki, where do you want to go?"
"Let's go to the **Corrida Colosseum** first!"
"Do you want to participate in the competition too?"
"No, no, no, I'm just looking!"
Ryuzaki was right; he really was just looking to see if there were any new sword styles he could learn and increase his talent points.
In combat-related talents, not just any combat technique can unlock a particular talent.
Take sword styles, for example; there are countless types of sword techniques, but if you can't develop a specific style, you can't unlock new talents.
Ryuzaki and Monet entered the colosseum hand in hand and randomly found seats.
"Hmm?"
Ryuzaki looked at a seat three rows away from him, where a toy soldier sat. He recognized him immediately—it was **Kyros**!
Ryuzaki glanced at Kyros's talent and level.
This guy's not bad!
**Talent: Basic Physical Fitness (84)**
**Talent: Basic Strength (82)**
**Talent: Basic Physical Skills (81)**
**Chapter 127: The Tragic Kyros (Part 2)**
**Talent: Basic Physical Skills (81)**
**Talent: Basic Kendo (85)**
**Talent: One-Sword Style (84)**
**Talent: Destruction Style (81)** (Note: Possibly referring to his gladiator style).
...
"Destruction Style! I don't think I have that! This should be Kyros's own creation, right?"
Ryuzaki stroked his chin, a smile flashing across his lips.
"Monet!"
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Let me ask you a question, what should you do if someone suddenly breaks into the arena while the gladiators are competing?"
"Eh? This…" Monet was quite surprised, not understanding why Ryuzaki asked this.
But after thinking for a moment, she still said, "The competition should not be stopped, as for the person who breaks into the arena, they might be killed by the gladiators on the arena, no one should care."
***
**Section 183**
"Heh heh, I see."
"You... what are you going to do?"
"Hehehe..."
Ryuzaki chuckled mischievously, left his seat, and with a light leap, landed behind Kyros, grabbing him by the neck.
Before Kyros could react, Ryuzaki tossed him onto the arena...
Kyros was hit hard; his body parts almost flew off!
He was completely bewildered.
What... what happened? He was just sitting there watching the match, and someone threw him into the arena? Damn it, which bastard did this?
Ryuzaki clapped his hands, grinning, "Don't thank me, I do good deeds anonymously."
With another light leap, Ryuzaki returned to his seat.
"How about it, Monet, I'm pretty good, right! See my strong arms?"
Monet was speechless. Was it really necessary? A dignified Sword Immortal, bullying a toy soldier? At least bully someone of a higher caliber, like one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!
Ryuzaki was completely oblivious to his shameless and brazen behavior.
He sat there smugly, thinking, "Kyros, Kyros, let me admire your unique swordsmanship!"
Kyros, thrown onto the arena, didn't bother to find out who had thrown him there, because the gladiator in the match was already slashing at him with his sword.
"Hahahaha... You mere toy, die!"
"Wait, wait, I didn't mean to come in here."
"Not intentionally? Then you did it on purpose!"
"..."
A thousand curses ran through Kyros's mind; this godlike understanding made his heart sink.
In the past, Kyros could have sent this gladiator flying with a single blow.
But now, with only one leg and turned into a toy, his fighting power was naturally greatly reduced.
But precisely because of this, lacking strength, he had to rely more on experience and skill to win; he depended even more on his swordsmanship.
Kyros drew his rifle (or possibly "sword/weapon", raw says "rifle" but Kyros uses a sword. Might be a mistranslation of weapon type or toy prop) and engaged the gladiator in combat.
In the stands, Ryuzaki nodded approvingly, "This guy's swordsmanship is pretty good!"
Of course, Ryuzaki's praise was only in comparison to Kyros's swordsmanship compared to other ordinary swordsmen!
Although it sounded impressive—a thousand consecutive wins—the gladiators in this bullfighting arena, frankly, weren't very good!
Ryuzaki could easily find an ordinary Marine soldier who was far stronger than these gladiators.
But oh well, he'd just have to watch!
**Chapter 128: Escorting the Celestial Dragons**
If it weren't for unlocking a new talent, Ryuzaki wouldn't have watched these low-level fights!
Now, on the field, Kyros was facing an attack from two gladiators, desperately fighting back!
And because of this, he unleashed all the combat skills he possessed without reservation.
"I see, so that's how it is. It's a very unique style of swordsmanship."
Swordsmanship styles also have different levels.
The strong ones are only for Great Swordsmen.
The weak ones are for beginners to practice.
If we have to rate Kyros's *Destruction Style* swordsmanship, then we'll give him a weak plus!
A new talent is unlocked: **Destruction Style (6)**.
Total talent points reach **444**.
Ryuzaki put his arm around Monet's slender waist and continued watching the match with great pleasure.
Although the touch of his fingertips was intoxicating, Ryuzaki's mind was now focused on creating sword moves.
He was thinking about how to integrate the essence of the Lion Style into his own Immortal Sword Style.
Although he had previously thought of Dust Release (Jinton), he couldn't connect dust with decomposition.
Damn it, this is not scientific. Why can dust decompose?
The more Ryuzaki thought about it, the more wrong he felt. He felt that he had been misled and had misunderstood!
*Damn it, I really want to beat Kishimoto up. This ridiculous setting is even worse than mine.*
Enraged, Ryuzaki grabbed a chair from behind him and hurled it onto the arena without a word.
Three screams followed as the two gladiators and the toy soldier were smashed to the ground, lying motionless like dead dogs.
Well, Monet had witnessed Ryuzaki's utter capriciousness.
The spectators were completely bewildered. What the hell was going on?
First, a toy soldier flew into the arena, then a chair flew in, and of course, it hit the gladiators, instantly knocking them to the ground.
Seriously, were the gladiators made of tofu? So fragile!
Amidst the spectators' utter confusion, Ryuzaki grabbed Monet's hand and left!
In the following days, Ryuzaki returned to the colosseum to watch matches, but unfortunately, he didn't learn any new sword techniques.
Ryuzaki was extremely disappointed with the colosseum.
The gladiators there were just too weak!
He had hoped to observe the matches here, learn from others' swordsmanship, and perhaps even unlock more of his talents. Unfortunately, it was a real shame; the participants were all mediocre.
For goodness' sake, this was the New World, yet the level of sword fighting was utterly subpar.
Frustrated, Ryuzaki could only seek comfort in Monet's arms!
***
**Section 184**
Rub, rub, rub, take a bite when you're hungry...
Unfortunately, this shameless life was ultimately ruined by that bastard Sengoku!
Marine Headquarters.
In Sengoku's office.
Ryuzaki was summoned here and angrily berated by Sengoku.
However, Ryuzaki calmly made himself a cup of tea, sat on the sofa, and calmly said, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, don't be angry. Life is full of disappointments; you must learn to be calm!"
"Today, you absolutely must give me an explanation. Why were you sleeping all day while on a mission?"
"Ahem... Mr. Sengoku, actually, I have my reasons!"
"Reasons? What reasons?"
"Sigh—" Ryuzaki sighed deeply, "To steal intelligence, I went through a lot of trouble to finally hook up with a girl, who is an important subordinate of Doflamingo."
"And then?"
**Chapter 128: Escorting the Celestial Dragons (Part 2)**
"And then?"
Ryuzaki took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "Then, to please her, I used every trick in the book. We went from the bed to the floor, from the floor to the kitchen, from the kitchen to the bathroom..."
"Stop, no need for details, just tell me the result!"
"The result? The result is that I was completely drained!"
"I mean, intelligence."
"Oh, intelligence? You summoned me back so early, I didn't even have time to ask anything."
At this moment, Sengoku's face turned green with anger. He actually said he didn't have time to ask?
Three months, and you didn't even have time to ask? I bet you were lying on a woman's belly and had long forgotten about the mission!
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, look, I've sacrificed so much this time, shouldn't you reward me?"
"Reward my ass!"
"Eh? How can you do that? My body is almost completely drained, you should at least make me some ginseng soup or something to comfort me, shouldn't you?"
Sengoku angrily pointed at Ryuzaki: "Comfort you my ass!"
Ryuzaki just wanted to ask, *Sengoku, where's your manners? A Fleet Admiral of the Navy, and this is the quality you have?*
Sengoku slammed his hand on the table. "Damn it, this is my quality, so what!"
Okay, Sengoku's always like this, Ryuzaki rubbed his nose, not really knowing what to say.
"Hmph, given your messy and indecent behavior during the mission, you were originally going to be punished, but now I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself."
"Oh? What is it?"
"Escort a Celestial Dragon!"
"You can have a Marine Admiral escort them!"
"They have other things to do, so it's you!"
"But I've been lying on women too much, my legs are weak, I can't walk!"
"Stop making excuses, it's you!" Sengoku slammed his hand on the table: "If anything happens to the Celestial Dragon, you'll be the one to apologize!"
Sengoku had already said that much, so there was no choice, escort it or not!
The Celestial Dragon to be escorted... what a coincidence!
It turned out to be the family that appeared in the original work: **Saint Roswald** and his two children, **Saint Charlos** and **Saint Shalria**.
I don't know why this family went to the New World. Don't they know that's the territory of the Celestial Dragons? If they get caught by the Celestial Dragons (logic?), believe me, they'll beat you up with their dicks. The Celestial Dragons are really lewd!
Ryuzaki was unlucky enough to be assigned to the escort mission.
It was in a country in the New World. After Ryuzaki arrived, the warship escorting the Celestial Dragons finally set sail.
There were more than just Ryuzaki on this ship.
There were also two other Marine officers: **Mole** (Momonga) and **Momousagi** (Gion).
Ryuzaki's eyes lit up when he saw Momousagi.
Momousagi, seeing Ryuzaki, walked over unhurriedly, nudged Ryuzaki's arm after getting close.
"Hey, hey, it's you!"
"Yeah, that's me."
"It really is you!"
"Yes, it really is me."
"Hehehe, great, I knew it was you!"
The conversation between Momousagi and Ryuzaki left Momonga completely dumbfounded. Can't you guys talk normally? Are you babies? Can't even speak properly?
The conversation between Momousagi and Ryuzaki was something both of them knew.
Ryuzaki had been to Marine Headquarters several times, but unfortunately, Momousagi was stationed at a Marine base in the New World, not at Marine Headquarters, so Ryuzaki hadn't seen her.
**Chapter 129: The Picky Celestial Dragon**
Actually, Momousagi had already guessed that the Sword Immortal was Ryuzaki, but she had always kept it to herself.
Now that she had met him, Momousagi naturally wanted to confirm.
Since she had already confirmed it, Momousagi only needed to know it in her heart; on the surface, she had to pretend not to recognize him.
"Ahem, Vice Admiral Sword Immortal, let me introduce myself. My name is Gion, codename Momousagi."
"Okay, I'll also introduce myself. My name is Sword Immortal, and you know my real name."
"Hehehe..." Momousagi also gave Ryuzaki a look, meaning, "I know!"
This time, Vice Admiral Momonga was completely bewildered again; he was utterly confused!
***
**Section 185**
"Seriously, when are you two going to stop flirting? Aren't you going to escort the Celestial Dragons anymore?"
Seriously though, it's time to escort the Celestial Dragons!
Ryuzaki boarded the ship, and the warship finally began its voyage!
As for the Celestial Dragons, they stayed in the cabins; they didn't come out, and Ryuzaki was too lazy to greet them—out of sight, out of mind.
Ryuzaki was standing on the deck, talking to Momousagi.
"Hey, Vice Admiral Sword Immortal, what level have you reached in your swordsmanship?"
"In terms of pure swordsmanship, I'm about on par with Hawkeye."
Ryuzaki wasn't wrong. Hawkeye's Swordsmanship Foundation was Lv 97, and now, Ryuzaki's Swordsmanship Foundation had also reached Lv 97.
Not counting Haki and such, in terms of swordsmanship alone, they seemed roughly equal.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
"You're not bad either!"
"Oh, not at all, I'm just stronger because of my Devil Fruit powers!"
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
"You're actually being modest!"
"Don't make fun of me!" Momousagi reached out and secretly pinched Ryuzaki's waist.
"Ouch—"
"If you laugh at me again, I'll electrocute you!"
"Okay, I won't say anything! But Vice Admiral Momousagi, I want to tell you a secret."
"What secret?"
Ryuzaki leaned closer to Momousagi and whispered in her ear with a smile, "In the state of *Kami-e* (Paper Art), try to comprehend the Way of the Sword."
"Eh?"
Momousagi was stunned. Indeed, she had never heard of such a training method.
"Really?"
"You can try it!"
"Okay, I'll try it right now!"
Ryuzaki was speechless. You really are... trying it right there on the deck?
But whatever, might as well go all the way!
Ryuzaki sat down next to Momousagi.
As Momousagi entered a state of Zen, Ryuzaki also entered a state of Zen, and both of them entered it using *Kami-e*.
Momousagi's talent is exceptional, after all, she's a future candidate for Marine Admiral.
This girl is still very young, and her Swordsmanship Foundation is already level 89.
That's incredibly impressive; at this age, she's just a hair's breadth away from becoming a Great Swordsman.
Ryuzaki, following Koushirou's method, tried to stimulate Momousagi with his own Sword Intent, helping her to comprehend it.
Momousagi was already level 89, stuck at that level.
Stimulated by Ryuzaki's Sword Intent, Momousagi, in a meditative state, immediately experienced a certain enlightenment. Although this process was relatively slow, it was much faster than her own training!
If Momousagi were to slowly comprehend it on her own, it would take anywhere from several months to several years before she could reach the Great Swordsman level.
But just as Momousagi was comprehending swordsmanship, a loud "clang" rang out.
"Disgusting, so disgusting! How could there be something so disgusting..."
**Chapter 129: The Picky Celestial Dragon (Part 2)**
"Disgusting, utterly disgusting! How could there be such awful food..."
A chorus of curses echoed from inside the ship's cabin.
Momousagi's reverie was abruptly interrupted!
Both Momousagi and Ryuzaki were displeased.
Upon inquiring, they learned that a Celestial Dragon, **Saint Charlos**, had thrown a tantrum because he disliked the food on the warship. He was not only smashing things but had also assaulted the cook!
This warship was merely on a mission to escort Celestial Dragons and was under the Navy's jurisdiction.
The crew was almost entirely Navy personnel, including the cook.
Saint Charlos had not only assaulted the cook but also shot him, injuring him!
This immediately enraged everyone on the warship!
However, since the other party was a Celestial Dragon, they dared not speak out. Seeing the cook lying in a pool of blood, some soldiers wanted to take him away for treatment but hesitated.
Vice Admiral Momonga simply stayed out of the room to avoid trouble.
Just then, Ryuzaki entered the Celestial Dragons' dining room.
Ryuzaki glanced at the chef, who had been shot in the abdomen, and ordered the surrounding navy soldiers, "Take him away for treatment."
"Yes, Vice Admiral!"
The soldiers replied gratefully, having been waiting for their lord's orders.
Several navy soldiers who were close to the chef rushed forward and hurriedly carried him away.
Just then, the Celestial Dragon Saint Charlos raised his golden pistol and fired a shot at the navy soldiers carrying the chef.
*Clang—*
No one saw how Ryuzaki drew his sword.
They only saw the bullet deviate from its trajectory, and a sword remained suspended in mid-air.
***
**Section 186**
"...Do you want to die?"
*Bang—*
Another shot. Without a word, Saint Charlos fired at Ryuzaki.
Beneath Ryuzaki's mask was a cold sneer.
*You little brat, you dare shoot me? I'll sneer twice first.*
*Bang bang bang bang...*
Missing his first shot, Saint Charlos fired several more in quick succession until he ran out of bullets!
"What are you looking at!" Ryuzaki ordered the surrounding soldiers, "Hurry up and carry the wounded away!"
"Yes, Vice Admiral Sword Immortal!"
The soldiers quickly responded and carried the wounded away.
As for Ryuzaki, he walked up to Saint Charlos with a strange smile.
Ryuzaki bowed slightly: "I'm sorry to have startled you, Saint Charlos. If you don't like the food on this ship, I'll go find you some delicious food."
Saint Charlos was about to lash out, but was stopped by his father, **Saint Roswald**!
"Enough, Charlos! Don't be rude to Vice Admiral Sword Immortal!"
"Hmph!" Charlos, snot running down his face, put away his golden pistol.
"Well then, farewell, Saint Charlos, Saint Roswald, and the beautiful **Saint Shalria**!"
"Thank you for your trouble, Vice Admiral Sword Immortal!"
Ryuzaki politely withdrew, but when he returned to the deck, Momousagi grabbed him.
"Hey, you're really going to find delicious food for the Celestial Dragons?"
"Of course, I can't go back on my word in front of the great Celestial Dragons, can I?"
"But... but... this is the sea, where are we going to find a restaurant? And the Celestial Dragons have very high standards, good chefs are even harder to find."
"It's alright, I'll be right back."
"Hey, wait, I'll go with you."
"Go with you?"
"Yes, go with you, anyway, Vice Admiral Momonga is here, it won't be a problem."
"Uh..."
**Chapter 130: The Delicious Food is Truly Fragrant**
Ryuzaki wanted to refuse.
Seeing how insistent Momousagi was, clinging tightly to his arm, he had no choice but to agree!
"Alright, then come with me!"
Ryuzaki led Momousagi into his private room.
"Why are we going into your room?"
"Hehe..."
Ryuzaki chuckled, saying nothing, but simply opened the Private Door and took out a set of clothes for her.
"Change your clothes!"
"This... this... you want me to change here?"
"Don't worry, I'll turn around, I won't see."
"I won't!"
"Then you can't come with me."
"You... Hmph, fine, I'll change!"
Momousagi took the clothes, glancing shyly at Ryuzaki who had turned away, and then added, "You can't watch me change!"
"Don't worry, I won't see."
Only then did Momousagi carefully begin to change her clothes.
Ryuzaki had given her a women's casual outfit, with jeans. Fortunately, Ryuzaki had prepared many sets of clothes and placed them inside the Private Door; the jeans fit Momousagi's long legs perfectly.
As for her top, it was a white women's blouse with pink lace trim.
After changing her clothes, Momousagi turned around and found that Ryuzaki had also changed his clothes, and his head covering had been replaced with a cat-face mask.
"Here, this is the mask, put it on."
"Eh? I have to wear a mask?"
"That's right, because next, we're going to do something very important."
It's just finding food for the Celestial Dragons!
Calling it a very important matter, Momousagi shook her head speechlessly.
"Hey, that ability of yours that seemed to open a storage space, was that also the power of the Door-Door Fruit?" Momousagi asked while putting on the mask.
"That's right, let's go, Gion!"
Ryuzaki smiled and took Momousagi's hand, set up a temporary Marker Door against a wall, and then opened the Marker Door, leading to the Sabaody Archipelago.
Momousagi knew about Ryuzaki's Door-Door Fruit ability, but seeing that Ryuzaki had used the Door-Door Fruit ability to this extent, she couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise.
"Wow, Ryuzaki, you're amazing!"
"Don't call me by my name!"
"Hehe, I know, I'll call you little brother!"
"Come with me!"
Ryuzaki, with Momousagi by his side, the two of them stealthily traversed the Sabaody Archipelago.
***
**Section 187**
Momousagi was completely convinced; the Door-Door Fruit's power was simply too amazing! Not using it for thievery would be a waste.
However, Momousagi was curious about Ryuzaki, wondering what he was up to all this mysteriously. Ryuzaki's next series of actions completely baffled Momousagi!
"Wait, weren't we supposed to be finding delicious food for the Celestial Dragons? What are you doing running into their chicken coop? Hey, hey, what are you doing, filling a bag with chicken droppings?"
Momousagi was dumbfounded, utterly dumbfounded. Not only did he fill a bag with chicken droppings, but he also filled it with cow dung.
But what followed was even more astonishing.
Ryuzaki took these things to the most famous restaurant in the Sabaody Archipelago, found the most famous chef, and without a word, slammed a large box containing 100 million Berries onto the table.
**Chapter 130: The Delicious Food is Truly Fragrant (Part 2)**
Ryuzaki took these things to the most famous restaurant in the Sabaody Archipelago, found the most famous chef, and without saying a word, slammed a huge box containing 100 million Berries onto the table.
"I need you to turn these things into delicious food!"
Not only was Momousagi stunned, but the chef was stunned too!
*Damn it, no matter how famous I am, I could never turn poop into food!*
But... the chef glanced at the huge box of 100 million Berries and couldn't take his eyes off it. That's 100 million Berries!
My God, how many dishes would I have to cook, how many meatballs would I have to make, how many steaks would I have to make, how many dumplings would I have to wrap to earn that much money?
The chef gritted his teeth, "Damn it, I'll do it!"
It's just poop! With some seasoning to mask the taste, and some other ingredients to cover it up, that's it! A chef as skilled as me can turn poop into a delicious dish!
For that 100 million Berries, the chef went all out. He tried many times, using all his culinary skills, employing everything he had learned in his life.
Half an hour later, a huge pot of fragrant stew was ready!
The chef had specially prepared the food in a thermos!
Ryuzaki readily gave the chef 100 million Berries as promised.
Momousagi, who witnessed the whole process, was completely stunned. She seemed to have a premonition that something bad was about to happen!
When Ryuzaki returned to the warship with the thermos and Momousagi, Momousagi knew that what she had foreseen was about to happen!
The two changed their clothes again.
Momousagi hesitated, wanting to dissuade Ryuzaki from doing that, but... for some reason, she also wanted to see the Celestial Dragons eat shit.
In the end, Momousagi chose to remain silent and followed Ryuzaki into the Celestial Dragons' room.
"Great Saint Charlos, I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting!"
"Damn it, why did it take you so long?"
"Oh, that's a long story. Why don't you eat while I tell you?"
Ryuzaki walked forward with a smile, elegantly placed the thermos on the table, and lifted the lid. Instantly, a fragrant aroma filled the air.
"This... what kind of food is this? It smells so good!"
"Great Saint Charlos, this delicacy is called **Shi Zhen Xiang** (True Fragrance)!" (Note: Sounds like "Eating Really Fragrant" or literally "It smells really good").
When Ryuzaki said this, Momousagi was already laughing her head off!
She really wanted to lie on the ground and burst into laughter, but she held it in!
Charlos, smelling the aroma, didn't care about anything else. With the servants' help, he filled a bowl, quickly took a sip, and chewed on the delicious meatballs.
"Delicious, so delicious, so incredibly delicious!"
"If you like it, have some more."
"You still haven't told me where you got this."
"Oh, that's a long story..."
"Actually, I got it from the **Big Mom Pirates**. As you know, Whole Cake Island is famous for its food. I specifically fought with the Big Mom Pirates to get this delicacy."
Big Mom?
Hearing Ryuzaki's explanation, Charlos secretly regretted it. He had wanted to capture the chef who made this delicious dish and make him his personal chef, but unfortunately, the chef was Big Mom's.
Even if the Celestial Dragons were stupid, they knew that Big Mom was not someone to mess with.
Charlos sniffled for a while, then filled a large bowl and wolfed it down!
This guy could really eat; he finished a whole pot of *Shi Zhen Xiang*!
Seeing Charlos eating so heartily, Ryuzaki was genuinely happy for him.
After finishing the delicious food, Charlos insisted on thanking Ryuzaki.
This made Ryuzaki feel embarrassed, and he kept declining, saying, "Serving the Celestial Dragons is an honor for me, why should I ask for thanks? This won't do!"
But Saint Charlos was angry. "Damn it, I thank you, and you refuse? What does this mean? Don't you respect me, Saint Charlos? Don't you even give me face?"
**Chapter 131: One More Time**
Okay, Ryuzaki had no choice but to accept Saint Charlos's thanks—500 million Berries in cash.
Of course, the thanks weren't for nothing.
Saint Charlos hoped to taste this delicious treat called *Shi Zhen Xiang* again.
Ryuzaki was conflicted!
He could only explain, "Great Saint Charlos, *Shi Zhen Xiang* is a special delicacy of the Big Mom Pirates. I went there before, and to get this delicacy, I actually suffered internal injuries!"
The Celestial Dragons are generally very capricious; in their eyes, there's nothing money can't solve, only a lack of money.
Well, although he didn't have enough money for the time being, Saint Charlos possessed a Devil Fruit.
"Here, it's yours!"
Saint Charlos generously gave a Devil Fruit to Ryuzaki.
***
**Section 188**
His father was quite anxious, scolding Charlos for being a spendthrift.
But Charlos didn't care at all!
What kind of Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit is this? I don't care! Devil Fruits are so disgusting, I won't eat them, I won't eat them! Others want to eat *Shi Zhen Xiang*…
This scene left Momousagi dumbfounded.
What kind of operation is this?
This Saint Charlos, not only ate *Shi Zhen Xiang* (literal poop), but also, in order to eat it again, not only generously gave Ryuzaki 500 million Berries, but also gave him a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit?
Momousagi glanced at Ryuzaki, thinking, "Little brother, you really know how to play! The person I admire most in this life is you!"
This Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit was the **Zoan-type, Mythical Zoan-type: Spirit Fox Fruit** (Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Kyubi no Kitsune / Nine-Tailed Fox?). (Note: Text says "Spirit Fox" or "Nine-Tailed Fox". Let's stick to **Spirit Fox** as per text).
Ryuzaki smiled and carefully put away the Spirit Fox Fruit, then patted his chest and declared, "Great Saint Charlos, rest assured, I'll risk my life to get you this delicious food, *Shi Zhen Xiang*!"
Then Ryuzaki went off to get food for Charlos again!
Half an hour later, Ryuzaki returned with a large pot of *Shi Zhen Xiang*.
Charlos ate with great relish, even tightly guarding the thermos, hogging the *Shi Zhen Xiang* and refusing to share with anyone.
What could Ryuzaki say? Serving the Celestial Dragons, isn't that hard work?
Standing on the deck, Ryuzaki gazed at the distant sea.
Beside him, Momousagi sighed.
"Little brother, why are you so sword-wielding (so wicked/cheap)?"
"Because I'm a Sword Immortal!"
That's right, that's it. I entered the path of the sword; those who disagree, I'll slay them with my sword!
Now, Ryuzaki was quietly thinking. He had two important Devil Fruits: the **Ancient Zoan-type: Dinosaur Fruit (Thunder Dragon Mode)** (Brachiosaurus) and the **Mythical Zoan-type: Spirit Fox Fruit**.
The Dinosaur Fruit was actually meant for **Kaku**.
As for the Fox Fruit he currently had, should he give it to **Kalifa**?
If so, would he really turn **CP9** into a zoo?
That… that was quite interesting.
Ryuzaki had originally planned to give them the Devil Fruits later.
But now he thought it best to give them sooner rather than later; if they ate other ordinary Devil Fruits, it would be terrible!
"Hmm, I should contact them as soon as possible!"
Ryuzaki contacted Buck to inquire about Kalifa and the others' location.
Coincidentally, Kalifa and the others had just finished their mission and were currently resting in Loguetown.
**Chapter 131: One More Time (Part 2)**
Coincidentally, Kalifa and the others had just finished their mission and were currently resting in Loguetown.
Perfect timing! Ryuzaki has a Marker Door in Loguetown, so he can come and go quickly.
After getting the detailed address, Ryuzaki told Momousagi and left for a while.
In a very inconspicuous bar in Loguetown, a burly man who looked like a bull—that was **Blueno**—was dressed as a bartender, wiping glasses behind the counter.
In front of the bar, Kalifa and the others were having a party after finishing a mission.
At this moment, someone entered the bar. When this person came in, Blueno, who was wiping glasses, was the first to be stunned, because his gaze was directed at the door, and he naturally recognized who it was.
"Ryuzaki...?"
"Yo, long time no see!"
"Hey, Ryuzaki, come and sit down with me."
Ryuzaki didn't stand on ceremony, walked over, and plopped down on the bar.
"Hey, Ryuzaki, can I ask you something?" Kalifa tossed her hair, looking charming.
"Ask away!"
"That Sword Immortal, could it be you?"
"Oh? Why?"
"You're so lecherous, so shameless, and yet you have such a talent for swordsmanship..." Kalifa rambled on and on.
Ryuzaki poured himself a glass of juice, smiling and nodding: "That's right, your guess was correct, but my identity is classified information!"
"Wow, that's impressive! My swordsmanship is probably far superior to yours!"
"Daddy, I'd better zip up my fly!" (Fukurou's quirk).
"Well, the reason I came to see you this time is that I got two Devil Fruits."
Upon hearing about Devil Fruits, **Jabra** quickly came over and said, "Hey, hey, I heard that there are devils hidden inside Devil Fruits, so you mustn't eat them."
"Daddy—" **Fukurou** unzipped his fly: "Jabra is afraid that if someone eats a Devil Fruit, their strength will surpass his!"
"Eek, eh? Jealousy is bad for a man's dignity!"
Ryuzaki smiled, ignoring him, and took out the two Devil Fruits.
"One of these two is a Mythical Zoan-type Spirit Fox Fruit. I'm keeping this one for Kalifa; none of you should try to take it."
"As for the second one, it's an Ancient Zoan-type Dinosaur Fruit, Thunder Dragon Mode. Whoever has the strongest power gets it. Oh, and by the way, those who have already eaten a Devil Fruit can't participate!"
Mythical Zoan? Ancient Zoan?
At this moment, Jabra knelt on the ground and cried!
"Damn it... Jabra ate a Devil Fruit prematurely to increase his strength. It's a regular Zoan-type Devil Fruit, the **Dog-Dog Fruit, Wolf Model** (Inu Inu no Mi, Model: Wolf), and it happened three days ago!"
"Eek... Jabra, if you're a man and you're feeling regretful, just kill yourself!"
***
**Section 189**
Jabra's eyes welled with tears. Besides **Rob Lucci**, he was probably the second strongest, after all, he was much older than Kaku.
If it were a contest of power, he would definitely have won that Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit.
What a pity!
Fukurou tested everyone's power, and indeed, Jabra was currently quite strong.
However, because they had already eaten the Devil Fruit, the Ancient Zoan Dinosaur Fruit, Thunder Dragon form, ended up in **Kaku**'s hands (head).
Watching Kaku and Kalifa both eat their Devil Fruits, and then Kaku transform into a long-necked thunder dragon, while Kalifa became a snow-white fox, Ryuzaki was quite satisfied. Before leaving, he left Lucci a Den Den Mushi, saying, "If you ever have any trouble, contact me!"
**Chapter 132: A Sudden Enlightenment at the Brink of Death**
Ryuzaki waved goodbye to CP9.
Lucci swirled his glass: "That guy's gotten even stronger!"
"His current strength is probably at the level of a Vice Admiral, right?"
"Even so, he can't become famous under his real name!"
"Hmph, fame? That kind of thing, once you have the strength, you'll have it someday."
"So, is it time to meet our new commander?"
"New commander?"
"Chapapa... he's a guy named **Spandam**, his power level is only a 9 (Doriki)."
"What? How could someone like that be our commander?"
"Chapapa... supposedly inherited his father **Spandine**'s position!"
"Ugh, damn it, why don't I have such a good father?"
"Chapapa, Jabra wants to be Spandam's son..."
"Shut up, zip up your pants!"
Ignoring the CP9's antics, Ryuzaki returned to the warship.
However, less than five minutes after returning, an adjutant shouted loudly.
"Oh no! There's a pirate ship ahead! It's **Jack the Drought** from Kaido's Pirates!"
Jack?
Ryuzaki hadn't noticed, but released his Observation Haki to investigate. Sure enough, a rather large pirate ship was heading straight for them.
However, Jack's ship showed no intention of avoiding them, adopting a "Come on, let's fight! I'm tough as nails, I'm not afraid of you!" attitude.
Ryuzaki was quite annoyed. *Speaking of which, my title of Sword Immortal is now famous throughout the world! After all, I'm the man who cut off Shanks' arm and killed Shiki. Jack, Jack, is it really okay for you to disregard me like this?*
"Little brother, should we attack directly?" Momousagi asked from the side.
"Huh? How can this be? Starting a fight without warning? What's going on? This is so impolite! Hold on, hold on, let me politely greet them first."
Ryuzaki cleared his throat, grabbed the megaphone, and shouted, "Jack, did your mother sleep well last night?"
This sudden question petrified everyone on the ship.
What happened to your politeness?
Vice Admiral Sword Immortal, is this your politeness?
Then, a barrage of cannonballs rained down from Jack's ship.
"Fire! Let's have some fun!"
Ryuzaki stood on high ground, waved his hand, and roared enthusiastically, "Men, start firing! Let's all have a blast!"
The marines were stunned. This Vice Admiral Sword Immortal... why... why does he seem so unreliable?
The two ships were still far apart, and both the pirate ship and the warship began exchanging cannon fire.
This was left to Vice Admiral Momonga to command!
Ryuzaki calmly made himself a cup of coffee, enjoying the explosions in the sky.
Those booming flames were a salute to the Celestial Dragons!
But speaking of which…
he'd heard that Jack the Drought had a bounty of one billion Berries, nine hundred million of which was for his ivory.
Ryuzaki thought for a moment and understood. So that's why it was so valuable—it was mammoth ivory. *I'm so damn clever, I can figure this out so easily.*
The cannon battle was nearing its end, and both ships began to approach.
Ryuzaki stood at the bow, arms crossed, head held high, looking incredibly imposing.
**Chapter 132: A Sudden Realization at the Moment of Life and Death (Part 2)**
Ryuzaki stood at the bow, arms crossed, head held high, looking incredibly imposing.
His presence gave the marines boundless confidence.
That's right, with the Vice Admiral Sword Immortal, what were mere pirates to fear?
A sea breeze blew, and the two famous swords hanging at his waist—*Kogarashi* and *Oto*—were clearly visible.
Many people recognized these two swords.
They were originally the swords of Golden Lion Shiki, and now they had fallen into Ryuzaki's hands. They were the spoils of Ryuzaki's slaying of Golden Lion Shiki, a symbol of glory.
***
**Section 190**
The ship drew closer once more!
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
Both sides roared, sleeves rolled up, ready for a fierce battle.
Come on, what are you afraid of!
The navy wouldn't back down.
And the crew members under Jack's command naturally wouldn't back down either. After all, their boss had thrown away his brains; intelligence... to hell with intelligence! They just had to fight!
On Jack's ship, a young woman, dressed very provocatively, without even a bra, just two Santa hats covering her ample bosom!
This woman, full of youthful vigor, charged forward without a word, her astonishing leap propelling her straight towards the warship, her target Ryuzaki.
The marines all looked towards Ryuzaki, anticipating the Sword Immortal Vice Admiral's magnificent swordsmanship. To witness it in this lifetime would be enough to die without regret!
However, Ryuzaki didn't move, he didn't move at all...
His face was filled with distress. He had drunk too much juice at CP9 earlier, and damn it, he needed to pee now.
In the blink of an eye, the vigorous young woman was only three meters away from him.
Amidst the expectant gazes of everyone, Ryuzaki flicked his sleeve.
At that moment, he understood!
A sudden realization at the brink of death allowed him to grasp the essence of the Six Styles!
With swift movement, Ryuzaki pulled out his manhood and shouted, "**Six Styles Derivative: Great Spray, Drink—**"
Just like that, the concentrated essence of the juice was expelled, his bladder feeling incredibly relieved!
Heh heh, so comfortable!
As for the vigorous young woman, she was covered in the liquid, her whole body soaking wet.
This scene stunned everyone!
My God, is this the Sword Immortal Vice Admiral we all know and love?
This is so... so... shameless!
Vice Admiral Sword Immortal, you... you... what are we supposed to say to you?
Ryuzaki was already used to the shock of those around him!
*Hehehehe... mortals always make a fuss over small things.*
Now, he was looking at his newly unlocked talent with great satisfaction: **Six Styles Derivative - Great Spray (8)**.
Unexpectedly, the epiphany at the critical moment led to the unexpected understanding of a new move.
"I really am an awesome man, incredibly awesome!"
With the new eight talent points, the total talent points are now **452**!
"Momousagi..."
"Don't talk to me, I don't know you!"
Momousagi's face turned red. It was too embarrassing. This little brother was really embarrassing!
Momousagi simply teleported into the air, holding back her anger, and threw lightning balls at the pirate ship with a "crackling" sound.
Even though Zoan-type Devil Fruit users have amazing regenerative abilities, they are still just ordinary Zoan-type users. Faced with Momousagi's furious lightning ball, these guys collapsed on the ship, convulsing.
After Momousagi's attack, Jack was left with only himself on his ship!
Jack transformed into a Mammoth, like a wall, and rammed into the warship.
**Chapter 133: Sinking the Seabed**
But Ryuzaki wasn't scared.
I'm a Sword Immortal, why would I be afraid of you?
Take this! Hey... A huge Sword Aura, sweeping with overwhelming momentum, slashed head-on.
Jack didn't dodge or flinch.
As expected of Jack the Drought, relying on his powerful defense and regenerative abilities, and with Armament Haki enhancing him, what was there to be afraid of? He charged forward and charged!
A huge explosion rang out, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and bones were exposed.
Most importantly, the tusks were cut off!
One move, just one move!
With that single strike, the Sword Immortal reduced Jack's bounty from one billion to one hundred million.
Ryuzaki picked up the enormous tusks, beaming with satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad, these tusks are worth nine hundred million, a steal!"
"Huh?"
Ryuzaki glanced at the blood-soaked Jack. Holy crap, even though this guy was injured so badly, his flesh was healing rapidly? That's incredible!
Then, to Ryuzaki's astonishment, Jack stood up again!
His massive body, his tuskless Mammoth form, roared and charged straight at Ryuzaki.
*Clang—*
That was the sound of Ryuzaki blocking Jack's attack with both swords.
Jack's Armament Haki was no joke.
Ryuzaki was forced back.
"My Dual Wielding style is still too weak, let's use One-Sword Style to deal with him!"
Ryuzaki held one sword against Jack, and with the other, aimed a Sword Aura at Jack's eye, thrusting forward.
