"As a Prehistoric island, it really brought me surprises." Hearing this, Mio raised a smile at the corner of his mouth, when he got up.
"Hey, Dorry, Brogy, I have something to do so I'll leave first." Mio yelled at the two giants.
Hearing that, Dorry and Brogy lowered their heads and looked at Mio, they couldn't help showing a look of dismay.
After all, they were pirates who hadn't met anyone for a long time. They still wanted to chat with Mio for a while.
But they also knew that there was something Mio had to do.
Dorry gulped a bowl of wine and grinned, "We don't know your name yet."
"Ah, my name is Kurokawa Mio." Mio immediately said.
"Kurokawa Mio? Strange name." Brogy murmured, then continued.
"I'll remember you, I believe we have a chance to meet again in the future."
"Perhaps." Mio nodded, who knows about such things.
After taking a sip, Mio left directly.
Erica led the way, and the group of people shuttled forward in the forest again.
This time the destination seemed a bit far, and it took a full half an hour to reach the destination.
But even so, Mio was still full of expectations.
After all, at the destination this time, there would be a Devil Fruit.
Yes, it is a Devil Fruit.
Although it was expected, he was also pleasantly surprised.
After all, Little Garden is a huge island. It is not surprising that there is a Devil Fruit here.
In many cases, Devil Fruit is rare because it is difficult to find.
An island is so big, not every place will be carefully explored, and maybe you walked through a place today, but tomorrow when you go there, this place may have a Devil Fruit, this kind of thing is not rare.
As for the Devil Fruit that appeared on this island, it should be a Zoan, and it may be an ancient species in Zoan.
In anticipation, the group moved forward again. It took almost an hour to shuttle through the forest again before reaching the destination.
A lush place in the forest.
At this time, many ants gathered here. With the arrival of Erica, these ants came to Erica's side one after another.
They began to connect to form a route on the ground, leading Mio to a lush place.
Pulling aside the grass, Mio suddenly saw a Devil Fruit appearing in front of his eyes.
The Devil Fruit was full of dark blue spiral patterns. On the surface, this Devil Fruit was very beautiful.
People who don't know may think that this Devil Fruit is very poisonous.
After all, brightly colored fruits in the wild are generally not edible.
"This color and shape is not one of the Devil Fruits recorded on the scrapbook. It looks like it is another devil fruit of unknown ability." Mio murmured, a little regretful.
If he doesn't know what the ability is, it's hard to decide it's usefulness.
After all, if it is a bad one, he can use it to exchange for the lottery. But what if it is an Eudemons?
Although the probability is very low, there is always a chance. If it is true, then it would be a big loss.
"But I can try it." Mio murmured and beckoned, "Warwick, get the little guy here."
Hearing Mio's words, Robin's little face showed a look of doubt, but then Warwick slammed out and rushed into a lush grass.
He clenched his fist and blasted out, with a bang.
A raptor, which had been hidden in the grass and was about to sneak attack, had been spotted without it's knowledge.
Warwick punched it on the ground and it was stunned in an instant.
Afterwards, Warwick put it in front of Mio. It's head was firmly pressed in the mud.
No matter how hard it struggled, it couldn't resist.
"Open it's mouth." Mio picked up the Devil Fruit and looked at it for a while, then said.
"Okay, master." Warwick nodded, and roughly opened the Raptor's mouth with his two paws.
Mio grinned and stuffed Devil Fruit directly into the Raptor's mouth.
After eating the Devil Fruit, the velociraptor began struggling fiercely.
It seemed that something was about to change, but before the change could show up...
With a 'puchi', blood bloomed.
Mio slashed out, cutting off the Raptor's head.
On the panel, a prompt emerged.
[Congratulations on your inclusion of Velociraptor (South Blue Butterfly Gene)!]
"Butterfly? Insect species?" Looking at the prompt on the panel, he was taken aback.
Butterfly genes, what is the use of this ability? Collecting pollen?
Mio patted his head, his face suddenly became helpless. It sounded like this devil fruit didn't provide any major increase in combat power.
If he knew that, he might as well have exchanged it for a lottery.
At the same time, when Mio felt that he wasted a chance to draw a lottery, a warship had arrived on the coast of Little Garden.
On the deck of the warship, a Marine soldier looked at Mio's ship with a telescope.
After careful identification, he took it back.
He then came to a tall figure and reported respectfully, "Reporting to Momousagi Commodore, it has been confirmed that this pirate ship is the target we are looking for."
"So, they should have entered Little Garden, right?"
"If they had no accident, yes."
"Very well, then stay here, wait for them to come, and then we'll capture them in one fell swoop."
"Yes!"
...
Mio didn't know anything about this.
At this time, Mio had left that place, and was wandering in the forest with Erica and the others while hunting down some ferocious beasts.
But in the meantime, Mio scratched his head, frowning. "South Blue Butterfly, this name is so familiar. I seem to have heard it somewhere, where did I hear it?"
While walking, Mio thought.
Suddenly, Mio stopped and muttered, "I remember. Isn't this South Blue butterfly the legendary beast back on earth? It's just that I remember this beast as being rubbish."
Before arriving in the One Piece world, Mio was very interested in some myths and legends, so he had learned a little bit.
The South Blue butterfly, he remembered, was indeed a sacred beast, but there was a sentence in the description of this sacred beast: The seaman caught it, and after removing its wings and bones, it still weighed 50 kilograms, it is extremely delicious.
Thinking of this, the corners of Mio's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but say something, "Are you teasing me?"
This fruit, to be precise, should be regarded as the South Blue butterfly form of the Insect type Zoan Fruit.
But when he thought of the introduction about this South Blue butterfly, Mio felt... it was a good food.
