Chapter 64 Similar Fruits, the Strongest Creature!
The New World - Wano Country.
……
"It's finally done, Jhin!"
"Even with your physique, you were injured like this. That guy named Shou really went all out against you!"
Quinn's fat hands held tweezers as he unwrapped the thick bandages from Ash's body, section by section.
There were still some burn marks on the exposed skin, like colorful patterns.
Jin stood up and stretched, then turned and said coldly, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"He did it to help me; otherwise, how could I have escaped the combined attack of the Admirals and the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"
"Hehehe, all our years of friendship can't compare to your first meeting with him~ You get angry after just one sentence~"
Quinn walked to the worktable, grabbed a bottle of medicine, and tossed it to Jhin: "It's for treating burn scars. Just apply it for a month or two and it'll be fine."
Upon hearing this, Jin, who had just taken the medicine bottle, put it down.
"No need, and..."
Jin frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "I can sense an unknown power within these wounds. Perhaps Shou wants to use this to teach me the mysteries of fire!"
……
……
Quinn shook his head helplessly. Since returning from Jhin, he had heard similar comments more than once.
What do you mean by "Hunter did this for my own good"? "Although he didn't say it directly, his every move was teaching me how to use fire"? "As expected of the true lineage of the Lunaria race, mysterious and powerful!"
Quinn was intrigued by what he heard and wanted to capture that guy named Hunt and study him carefully.
If Jhin's body is this strong, what about the Lunaria race, who are even more pure than Jhin?
……
"The boss is back. He told you to go see him if you recover, he has something he wants to ask you."
"I see."

After changing into his black armor, King arrived at Kaido's palace on Onigashima and saw Kaido reeking of alcohol.
Kaido leaned back on his throne, holding a large wine jug with the character "天" (heaven) printed on it in one hand and covering his belly button with the other, shouting loudly.
Jin remained with his head bowed, his silver-white hair falling down, his wings neatly folded behind him, standing quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, until Kaido's snot bubble burst, this peerless ferocious beast slowly opened its eyes.
……
"Hiccup... Okay, Jhin."
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Kaido."
After scrutinizing King for a moment to make sure his left and right hands were fully recovered, Kaido asked in a low voice, "Was the journey interesting? How was that guy?"
Jin looked up, pondered for a moment, and said, "I'm sorry, I couldn't bring him back. He was somewhat resistant to me... perhaps he felt I wasn't worthy of being his kin."
Kaido sat up a little straighter on the throne, the drunkenness in his eyes fading, and a dangerous smile curled at the corner of his mouth:
"What an arrogant guy, but he's got some skill to get out of that situation."
"I didn't call you here because of him..."
"Uchiha... such a unique surname, an existence that's like a nemesis to your clan, you really haven't heard of it before?"
Jin shook his head helplessly: "I've been in the research institute since I can remember. I didn't even know I was a Lunarian if the researchers hadn't told me."
He paused, then added, "What's certain is that he truly deserves to be called the 'enemy of God'!"
"An unbelievable rate of growth, and those scarlet eyes that seemed to see through everything."
"What's even more terrifying is... this guy possesses the same Conqueror's Haki as Kaido did in his youth!!"
……
"I know all that. The newspapers would report on how many times he peed a day when he was a child."
Kaido picked up the sake jug and took a big gulp, the glistening sake droplets splashing everywhere.
"What interests me is his ability!"
"The Ancient Zoan Inu Inu no Mi (Dog-Dog Fruit), don't you think it looks a lot like a certain Devil Fruit?!"
After pondering for a while, Jin remembered the taboo on Ghost Island...
"You mean...Young Master Yamato?"
……
"Yeah... that kid's Devil Fruit ability is so similar to the Mythical Zoan type, Ookuchi Shinjin, which Yamato ate!"
"I want to know, did that kid develop an ancient species to that extent, or is it another mythical beast species?"
"Jin, you've seen it with your own eyes, tell me your judgment."
As is well known, Kaido has a certain obsession with Zoan-type Devil Fruit users, and one of his dreams is to form a pirate crew composed entirely of Zoan-type users.
……
"I looked it up in the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, and it's an unrecorded fruit. There has never been a previous user of it."
"Quinn and I are both Ancient Zoan, but I think his Devil Fruit ability surpasses ours by a significant margin in terms of explosive power, recovery, and even defense."
"Furthermore, it possesses ice-attribute abilities such as freezing attacks and blocking large-scale naval artillery shells..."
"To be honest, I've seen Yamato use his abilities, and in terms of Devil Fruit power, I think Allen Uchiha's is stronger!"
"I'm just not sure if it's because of the fruit's power or because of his special racial advantages."
……
"Racial advantage..." Kaido grinned. "Even if he's a descendant of some ancient race, can his bloodline compare to Yamato's, the child of a demon?"
"These two are so similar, sharing Devil Fruit abilities, age, bloodline, and even the awakening of Conqueror's Haki..."
"I really want to see them fight to the death!"
"That must be... really fun!! Hoora hoora hoora la la la la!!!"
Kaido's eyes gleamed, and his wild laughter shook the surrounding walls.
……
……
"Excuse my bluntness, but the current young master Yamato is no match for that navy officer."
A hint of seriousness appeared in Jin's eyes as he said, "I believe he will grow into a very formidable enemy, if possible..."
"I hope you can get rid of him as soon as possible!"
……
The laughter in the palace stopped abruptly.
Kaido leaned forward, his crimson eyes fixed on King, the terrifying pressure emanating from him like a surging tide.
"What are you worried about, my failure, Jhin!"
Just as Jin was about to succumb to this aura and wanted to kneel down, the oppressive feeling quietly faded away.
Kaido leaned back in his chair, tilted his head back, and drank the wine in the jug in one gulp.
thump--
As the gourd fell to the ground, Kaido's face began to contort, gradually transforming into a dragon.
"Roger is dead, Whitebeard is old! Linlin is playing house, and it's just me!"
"I'm tired of striking when the opponent is weak!"
"Jin! Trust me completely!"
"Follow me, and on the road to becoming king, we will be invincible!!"
Roar! ! !
The enormous body of the Azure Dragon roamed the palace, and the next moment it burst out of the main hall, igniting the night sky over Ghost Island.
"The New Year's Fire Festival Night has begun!!"
"Let's party, my little ones!!!"
Azure Dragon's maniacal laughter echoed through the night sky, countless lights shone below, and the crowd shouted in response.
……
……
Jin stood there for a while, then suddenly smiled with relief.
Worrying that Mr. Kaido can't handle the enemy... is utterly ridiculous!
Of all living beings, Mr. Kaido is the strongest!!
