Pirates: Knowledge is power

Drum no longer hesitated, passed over countless corpses, and entered the cave directly.

After entering the cave, Drum felt that he no longer needed the thing in his hand.

In the dark cave, there is an extremely conspicuous golden mountain.

Jinshan exudes golden light and is extremely conspicuous in the cave.

There are all kinds of things inside, including all kinds of shiny gold coins or gold products, all kinds of dazzling rare gems, and gorgeous armor that cannot be said to be from the era.

Of course there are also strange things like animal skulls or human skulls mixed in there.

The golden light not only illuminated the cave, but also illuminated the remains of the demonic dragon in front.

Drum took back the fire fold and looked at the giant remains that fell in front of the Jinshan Mountain.

The remains of a giant dragon nearly 100 meters tall, with black scales and triangles, look like the legendary dark dragon.

Pressing his hand on the black dragon's scales, the strange touch convinced Drum that this dragon was not simple.

The flesh and blood inside the demon dragon has rotted, but its dragon scales, dragon bones, and dragon skin are all well preserved.

The hard material is an excellent choice for making various weapons.

Noticing that there was a figure on the demon dragon's neck, Delam jumped up and lightly stepped on the demon dragon's scales with his toes.

The careful movements proved that Dram attached great importance to the dragon's corpse.

The corpse of the demon dragon is a good research material. If it is destroyed, Drum will feel very distressed.

Gradually getting closer, Drum also saw the true face of that figure.

That's a human skeleton!

Wearing silver armor full of battle scars, a broken black cloak, and holding a long sword with a gold blade and black handle in his hand.

The long sword is not the single-edged katana commonly used in the pirate world, but the long sword with symmetrical edges on both sides.

The silver withered hair still remained on his skull, and his already corrupted body held the sword in his hand tightly and refused to let go.

The golden sword blade inserted into the demon dragon's neck. It must have been this sword that took away the demon dragon's life!

Drum stepped forward and looked at the remains of this senior.

Only then did he discover that this senior not only had scars from fighting the dragon.

There are many scars left by swords on the armor, and there are still several arrows left on his back!

Then the soldiers who fell outside should not be his reinforcements, but his enemies!

There is a dragon in front and an enemy behind. This senior can still destroy all enemies and kill the demon dragon even when he is attacked from the front and back.

This shows how superb this senior's attainments in swordsmanship are.

Drum actually doesn't have much fear of his seniors, but for a strong man, he will give him some respect.

He clasped his hands together, bowed slightly to the skeleton, and then reached out to try to grab the long sword with a gold blade and a black handle.

The long sword has not become rusty after hundreds of years, and the sword body still exudes brilliant light. From its appearance, it is enough to tell that this sword is not simple.

But as soon as his hand came into contact with the opponent's bones, the bones of his hand instantly turned into powder, followed by the skull and sternum...

In the end, even the hair disappeared in the air, as if it had never appeared in this world.

Only a broken armor and scabbard were left on the dragon scales, proving traces of his existence.

Drum was stunned for two seconds, sighed, and pulled out the sword from the dragon's scales.

Taking the sword in his hand and looking at it, Dram's eyes also showed a hint of joy.

The blade of the long sword is golden yellow, but the sword body does not contain gold.

It seems to be forged by very advanced fusion technology. At least for now, no one in this world should be able to forge such a sword again.

The long sword has the narrowest blade, and the blade gradually becomes wider from the blade, but the widest point is no more than the width of an apple.

The hilt of the sword is black, and part of it is attached to the sword in the shape of a rapier. The scabbard and hilt are made of the same material, which is also an unknown metal.

The material is slightly inferior to the sword itself, but it is still a rare material.

The blade was extremely sharp, and his fingers were cut when they came into contact with the blade.

A drop of blood fell on the sword and slid to the ground along the blade.

Drum screamed in pain, holding up the sword and looking at it. This was probably a sword that was not weaker than the Supreme Sharp Sword.

When holding the hilt of the sword, Drum felt the writing engraved on it.

He turned the sword over and found the place.

"Aurora, a good name."

He picked up the scabbard, reunited the two parts that had been separated for nearly a hundred years, and hung the sword on his waist.

After harvesting a good sword, Drum felt that the trip was worth it.

But he didn't forget the real goal of this trip. He glanced around and saw that the surrounding area was empty, with no grass at all, let alone Devil Fruit.

The only places that could hide things around were the bones of the Triceratops Demonic Dragon and the golden mountain behind him.

Looking at the golden mountain dozens of meters high in front of him, Drum felt like he was suffering from laziness.

When will we find so much!

…………

An unknown amount of time passed, and Drum stood there panting.

And he had already opened up the entire golden mountain, and a fruit tree that had long since dried up appeared in front of him.

Buried under various gold coins for too long, this fruit tree has long lost its vitality.

And it seems that it has been buried for too long, the tree body is infected with gold, and the bark is shining with golden light.

There is a devil fruit hanging on the hardened branches of the fruit tree!

The Devil Fruit is black and red in color, with a dragon fruit-like appearance and many spiral patterns on it.

Drum stepped forward and picked off the devil fruit. He seemed to feel something in his heart and took a bite.

As soon as the Devil Fruit entered his mouth, he woke up.

Immediately throw away the devil fruit and step aside.

"Bah, bah, bah~ It tastes so bad!"

Drum scraped his tongue with his teeth, eager to scrape off a layer of the tongue's surface.

The smell was worse than shit and made Drum's scalp numb.

He had never tasted something so disgusting, and he didn't want to try it a second time.

After eating the Devil Fruit, Drum's body began to swell, and in addition to his original two ghost horns, three dragon horns grew again on his head, and his teeth became sharp.

Fine black scales began to grow all over his body, and his hands and feet began to change, turning into ferocious dragon claws.

A pair of dragon wings stretched out through the clothes on his back. With a wingspan of nearly twenty meters, he could stir up a gust of wind with a single wave.

A dragon tail grew out of Dram's back, and the thick, scaly tail hit the ground with a dull sound.

Soon, Dram turned into a giant black dragon nearly ten meters long, with five horns on its head, black scales all over its body, and scarlet dragon eyes.

After turning into a dragon, Delam roared angrily, and the roaring dragon roar accompanied by red air waves shook the entire cave and caused gravel to fall.

Even the mountain king waiting in the canyon outside was shocked by the dragon's roar.

After roaring, Dram transformed into a half-dragon form.

As long as it is an animal-type Devil Fruit, then among the three forms, the strongest one must be the human-animal form, which can bring out all the abilities of the esper.
