The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

The moment Grandine remembered her human identity, her death was doomed. Perhaps this was her fate.

This monster mother, covered with blood-white hair and feathers, turned back into a human being at the moment she was about to die. It turned out that Grandine had always been a human being, but with the passage of time, she had forgotten her original appearance.

The mother aged rapidly in front of the girl, as if hundreds of years had passed in her body in an instant. This horrific change was irreversible.

A smile of relief appeared on Grandine's wrinkled face. She could finally embrace death. Her only concern about the present life was how her adopted daughter Wendy would move on on her own.

"Wendy, don't be sad. I have been waiting for this moment of death for a long time. You must remember what I am going to tell you next."

In her last moments, Grandine briefly recounted what had happened to her. It was all because of eating a fruit by mistake. Later, the woman learned from a sage that the devil fruit she had taken was none other than the Animal-type Bird-Bird Fruit, a mythical beast-type Celestial Dragon form.

Dragon-type fruits are extremely rare in this world. This Sky Dragon Fruit gives Grandine many special abilities, including telepathy, magic resistance, sky-related attribute damage, etc.

There is a more important point. If the user always maintains the beast state, he will have almost endless life. The price is that the memory will be worn away little by little with the passage of time, until he completely forgets everything about his previous life.

Grandine was not her original name. Time had passed so long ago that she had forgotten how many years she had lived and many of her past events. She gradually became a wild beast with only the instincts of hunting and sleeping left. Fortunately, the appearance of Wendy brought her relief.

The sage I met before mentioned that once the user of the Dragon Fruit dies, this devil fruit will grow near the user of the previous life, and will not appear randomly and chaotically somewhere on the sea like other devil fruits.

There once was a family that continuously inherited the Heavenly Dragon Fruit, which created a glorious Dragon Empire. Most of the powerful people had dragon-type fruits, but as the time is too long, it was about a thousand years ago, and there is no written content left. How much of the legends and poems that have been passed down can still restore its original appearance?

Grandine forgot everything but the sage. She told these words to her adopted daughter Wendy in order to give the girl a choice of whether to take the devil fruit based on her free will. The adoptive mother did not want her daughter to follow her old path, as it would be too painful for a person to live too long.

After Grandine died of old age, just as she said, a strange fruit with cloud patterns suddenly appeared in the position of her mother's heart. The girl has not yet decided whether to take this devil fruit.

As a kind-hearted man, Musgard Saint did not snatch his sister's mythical beast-type devil fruit. Instead, he hoped that Wendy would take it herself so that she would have the ability to protect herself.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak, it all comes down to who has the bigger fist. If you don't have a strong enough level, like Tianlong, who is protected, once something happens to the guards, you will be a pig to be slaughtered. The big pirates will not care about your identity and will kill you without blinking an eye.

If the identity of a celestial dragon was really that useful, Musgarud Saint would not have experienced a shipwreck and drifted to this island to meet his sister. He could only do his best to protect his relatives and friends within the scope of his ability.

Wendy still hadn't thought through her half-brother's advice. After burying Grandine with her own hands, she just wanted to keep the devil fruit by her side. This relic of her mother would be gone after she ate it, but keeping it would remind her of her and remind her of the good times they had lived together.

The girl experienced great joy and great sorrow in one day. The great joy was that she found her relatives in this world, and the great sorrow was that the mother who raised her passed away quietly in front of her.

The girl spent the next few days crying. This world was too cruel for her. Before Wendy saw the outside world, she lost the most important umbrella of protection. A feeling of helplessness and confusion surrounded her.

Musgarud Saint suddenly had a younger sister, and as a brother he was naturally very happy. He wanted to bring Wendy and Saint Marijoa to live together, as their living conditions would be quite superior under the protection of the Celestial Dragons.

It's still easier than Wendy's life on this uninhabited island. Opening treasure chests is purely a gamble of luck, and she can rarely get any useful supplies in a month.

Wendy's main meal usually consists of sea kings caught from the sea by her mother, Grandine, which are then roasted over a fire with a little salt. The variety of food is extremely limited.

Even an ordinary person would feel distressed when seeing such living conditions, not to mention that Musgarud Saint was a relatively kind-hearted celestial dragon, and he would never let his savior and sister live a hard life again.

However, having just experienced the death of her adoptive mother, Wendy does not want to leave the place where she has lived since she was a child. Everything here is so familiar, and the outside world is too unfamiliar. The girl has not yet decided whether to take this step.

Musgarud Saint could only respect his sister's wishes. Since she didn't want to leave, he stayed with the girl for a while longer. He called the navy's supply ships nearby and occasionally delivered supplies to this uninhabited island. The two lived together for more than a month.

However, a major event is about to happen in the holy land of Marijoa, and Saint Musgarud needs to return urgently. The member states are about to go to the holy land to participate in the world conference held every few years.

The man is more worried about his friends on Fish-man Island, and is afraid that his benefactor's sons will be bullied. He can only rely on his identity as a Celestial Dragon to stop other Celestial Dragons from committing crimes. It is impossible to hope that CP0 can maintain order, and this group of loyal lackeys will only join the persecution army.

After explaining the situation to his sister before parting, Musgarud Saint gave Wendy a piece of his life card. As long as his sister kept it, she could use the life card to find him no matter where she was. With this guidance, the brother and sister would not be separated for too long.

Wendy was alone on the island, and her brother was very worried, so he had to ask the navy for help and ask them to send some female sailors to take care of his sister's life while he was away.

This matter is not that difficult to handle. Musgarud Saint has some friendship with General Haihu, and sending a few menial soldiers to look after his sister is just a simple matter of issuing orders.

The sister watched her brother leave on the boat with reluctance. Saint Musgarud said he would be back in a month, but she didn't expect that three months had passed and she still hadn't seen him.
