Chapter 75: The Second Phantom Beast In Hand
This trip, Kahn and his crew travelled for a whole season.
During this time, they first visited the New World, then returned from Fish-Man Island to the first half of the Grand Line, travelled from the first half of the Grand Line to West Blue and North Blue, and finally returned to the New World through the Calm Belt.
In one quarter, they traversed four sea areas.
During this period, Kahn first had Robin read Joy Boy's apology on Fish-Man Island, then killed Celestial Dragons in the Sabaody Archipelago, acquired the Love Fruit, and took Koala with him. Hancock and Kahn became the strongest twin stars of the Sea Circle Calendar 1503, with their combined bounties exceeding two billion berries.
Before returning to West Blue, they bid farewell to the three Boa sisters. Upon their return, the "Cross Family" would gain a powerful Haki nation with a perfect Haki system and a fighting nation as their main force.
After returning to West Blue, Kahn acquired necessities for the future development of the Cross Family.
In North Blue, Kahn received the good news that Monet and Sugar had not yet joined the Donquixote Family and exchanged contact information with Doflamingo, making it almost certain that he would get the Gol Gol Fruit.
This trip was a complete success for Kahn.
If not for Scarlett's impatience and the lack of time, Kahn would have wanted to go to East Blue's Sixis Island to find a Devil Fruit.
That Devil Fruit is the strongest kind of Logia.
Sixis Island is where Portgas D. Ace originally obtained the Mera-Mera Fruit and recruited his First crew member, Masked Deuce.
This island and the information that Ace learned about Armament Haki in one day are all from Ace's official novel.
Since Ace is a highly popular character, Kahn had read this novel in his previous life, so he had a very deep impression of Sixis Island.
As long as Kahn doesn't intervene, then the Mera-Mera Fruit will belong to Portgas D. Ace.
When Ace obtained the Mera-Mera Fruit, it was Sea Circle Calendar 1517.
Therefore, Kahn still has fourteen years, so he is not in a hurry to find the Mera-Mera Fruit immediately.
Of course, Kahn didn't go looking for it right away.
In addition to Scarlett's impatience, there are no incapacitated members suitable for the Mera-Mera Fruit in their family.
Koala has her sights set on the Millet Millet Fruit, and Kahn will let her eat it once the Cross Family base camp is completed.
Scarlett, on the other hand, has pre-ordered the Love Love Fruit, and Kahn will decide whether to give it to her based on her determination to become stronger.
The other two Zoan snake fruits are intended for the warriors of the Kuja tribe.
As for Sonia, Kahn planned to find a Devil Fruit for her after returning to the New World.
He planned to wait until the three Boa sisters came back before giving Sonia a big surprise.
The Devil Fruit Kahn prepared for Sonia is the same type as his own: a Mythical Zoan.
Its full name is the Bat-Bat Fruit, and its model is Vampire.
Yes, the Devil Fruit that Kahn prepared for Sonia was one of the four legends of the last era, the same one that Patrick Redfield, the "Red the Aloof," possessed.
As Charlotte Linlin said:
If she wasn't already a Soul-Soul Fruit user, she would never give Kaido the Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon.
The Devil Fruit is the most compatible with natural-born destroyers because it is the Mythical Zoan.
Similarly, the Devil Fruit, most suitable for enhanced humans, is also the Mythical Zoan.
And Sonia is an enhanced human.
As long as Sonia eats the Vampire Fruit, her physical fitness and potential will be fully maximized, and she will surely become one of the top cadres of the Cross Family, one of the Big Three.
Kahn also knows the location of the Zoan, Bat Bat Fruit, Phantom Beast, Model: Vampire.
Just like Ace's official novel, Kahn also played the game where the Red Earl appeared in his previous life.
The location of the phantom beast vampire form is in a place called Sleeping Ancient Town in the New World.
And this Devil Fruit is hidden in a place that only Robin can find, or by meticulously searching the entire island.
After returning to Dressrosa, Kahn immediately called the black market to buy information on Sleeping Ancient Town at a high price.
Where there are people, there is history; where there are people, there is trade; and where there is trade, there is intelligence.
And no one is better at gathering intelligence than the black market.
Because the black market thrives on spreading news in the dark world, posting rewards similar to bounty orders.
Villains such as pirates, bounty hunters, or killers around the world will not pass up any opportunity to make money.
In just half a month, one of the strongholds of the black market in the New World sent someone to Dressrosa and delivered a "courier" to Kahn.
This "express" was an Eternal Pose.
On the base of the Eternal Pose, there was a line of letters translating to "Sleeping Ancient Town."
Yes, the black market did not tell Kahn the location of Sleeping Ancient Town via Den Den Mushi but sent him an Eternal Pose instead.
Whether the person who completed the bounty gave this Eternal Pose to the black market, or the black market made the Eternal Pose with "materials" from Sleeping Ancient Town and then sent it to Kahn, it didn't matter.
This considerate method made Kahn's eight million berries well worth it.
After getting the Eternal Pose of Sleeping Ancient Town, Kahn took Robin, Koala, and the remaining members, one big and one small, and set off the same day.
With the help of telekinetic wind control, it only took two days for their ship to reach Sleeping Ancient Town.
It then took only half an hour.
With Robin's assistance, Kahn followed the guidance of the special text and found the fruit that had been stored for an unknown number of years.
Like the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, it had disappeared for several ages and became one of the legendary abilities.
It was the Zoan, Bat-Bat Fruit, Model: Vampire.
In this way, the "Cross Family" now had all its members capable.
Next comes the period of consolidation that every major force must go through!
