Chapter 117: Claire becomes a dragon.
And these are all the external changes after the fusion. As for other aspects, such as appearance, Reed did not use Hancock's appearance like Ipsilon. On the basis of retaining the original appearance, he fine-tuned the places that could be optimized, and that was all.

You have to know that elves are the epitome of beauty. Even if there is a difference in appearance between her and Hancock, who has been beautified by the sweet fruit, the difference is at most one or two points above 90, so a fine-tuning will be enough.

Although in Ipsilon's opinion, her biggest gain after replacing Hancock is making up for her greatly imperfect body shape, in fact, Ipsilon's real gain is reflected in the ability value panel.

After all, Boa Hancock is also a strong man who has mastered the three colors of domineering. After integrating the body of such a strong man, Ipsilon's ability value was instantly maximized. Coupled with the great achievements she has just accumulated, she has now become the second person among the women present to complete the upgrade after Victoria.

Reed was not surprised by this. After all, it was the same after Gamma fused with Katarina Depen. What really surprised Reed was the skills obtained after the fusion with Ipsilon.

It is indeed a charm, but it is not an active skill, but a passive skill.

There is nothing else besides this.

As expected, before your abilities are awakened and feedback is given to your body to change your genes, don't expect to gain more.

However, this passive charm skill is indeed very suitable for Ipsilon.

As the master of Beta and Ipsilon, Reed can add the ability of charm to himself at any time, and the term of walking hormone is unexpectedly achieved.

After using his charm ability for a while, Li De felt that the girls' eyes looking at him had become watery.

After canceling the blessing of the charm ability, Reed directly used the teleportation magic to bring everyone back to the island of Luskena.

"Sid, why are we back again?" Claire asked a little puzzled.

"The replacement card will make people who see Ipsilon mistake her for the woman we killed. But she is a very famous pirate in this world, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea under the World Government, Boa Hancock, who is known as the 'Empress'. So it will be a little troublesome to let Ipsilon appear in front of the public at the moment." When Reed said this, he pointed at Ipsilon's face.

The girls who heard this immediately understood that this was a discrepancy between perception and appearance.

There would be nothing wrong with returning to the real world. After all, no one knew who Boa Hancock was, so there would naturally be no possibility of any sense of incongruity.

But that's not the case in this world, because Boa Hancock is a celebrity, and many people have even seen the Pirate Queen's wanted poster. It's no big deal if someone just sees it, but if the person sees it and has had a wanted poster before, then the problem will be big if there's a comparison. If there's a sense of incongruity, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

That's why Li De brought the women back to Luskena Island. Li De planned to use it as a temporary base.

The reason they didn't choose this place before was because none of the girls had transformed magic power, and the animals on this island are quite ferocious, so they might not be able to survive on their own.

But now it’s different, with two Domineering Haki in charge, even if Beta and Ipsilon are not familiar with it, it is still the real Domineering Haki.

Although we can't sweep across the entire island, at least we can gain a foothold.

After letting Delta use his ability to level an area of ​​the ground on the periphery, Reed took out the mansion that belonged to Alfred that he had brought out from the world of the eight men.

Li De has kept this mansion and never gave it to anyone, just for use in the mission world.

As for the fact that there is no magic in the pirate world, that doesn’t matter.

Because Li De had already considered this problem, he asked Ita to make some slight modifications to the interior of the mansion, using a piece of dragon crystal obtained from the world of the eight men as a source of magic power.

This way, in a world without magic, it would be possible to maintain the magic power consumption of the engraved magic circles in the mansion.

After doing this, Li De disappeared in front of the women.

Before the girls could ask through the contract where Li De had gone, Li De's figure appeared again through the teleportation magic circle.

Compared to before he left, Li De now had a fruit with a special appearance in his hand.

Needless to say, everyone knows that Reed took some time to visit a room in Building R of Punk Hazard.

"BOSS, is this the devil fruit?" Delta looked at the fruit in Reed's hand curiously.

"It's not natural, it's man-made!" Li De said with a smile.

"Is this the artificial devil fruit?" Ipsilon knew about the existence of artificial devil fruits.

After all, there was information about artificial devil fruits in the information that Li De had collected before.

Although it is impossible to grow artificial devil fruits in the real world, the bloodline factor extraction technology involved in artificial devil fruits has brought Ita great benefits.

Currently, she is studying feasible methods to complete the sisters' incomplete bloodline. After all, samples of the source of the bloodline have been obtained in the Sanctuary before.

In addition, Isabella's blood sample can also be used as a reference.

"Yes, my dear sister, although this thing tastes a bit unpleasant, it cannot be wasted at all." Reed nodded and said to Claire.

"Sid, do you want to give me this artificial devil fruit?" Claire asked immediately.

"Well, eat it quickly!" Li De continued with an expectant look.

"Okay!" Claire nodded, picked up the artificial devil fruit and started eating.

Although Li De didn't know how bad the real devil fruit tasted, the taste of the artificial devil fruit was enough to challenge the limits of the taste buds.

After taking the first bite, Claire made a bitter face and changed from taking small bites to taking big bites. Then she stopped chewing and just took the best bite possible and swallowed it directly.

It took Claire nearly a minute to swallow the entire artificial fantasy beast species that Reed brought from Punk Hazard.

"Sid, this thing is so disgusting." After straggling her neck to swallow the last bit of residue, Claire couldn't help but say in a crying voice.

"Indeed, the taste of this thing is quite challenging to the limits of taste buds." Li De nodded with a smile. After all, he had experienced it personally before.

"I" Just as Claire was about to continue speaking, her voice suddenly stopped.

Because her body began to swell rapidly.

This change made Li De's eyes light up.

A few breaths later, a dragon about two hundred meters long with scales of extremely deep dark red appeared in everyone's sight.

My guess turned out to be correct.

Reed specially took the artificial fantasy beast species that he had eaten before from Punk Hazard, with the purpose of testing whether his idea was correct or not.

As for why he gave it to Claire instead of anyone else, it was not because Reed was partial to his younger sister, because among all the women, she was the only one who was a demon like he was before Reed changed his race.

After looking at the panel, Li De's mouth corners suddenly raised high.

Because Claire's race has now become a dragon, and her bloodline is the Shadow Flame Dragon.

Although it was different from Li De, it did replicate the blood fusion of Li De before.

"Sid, what's wrong with me? Why did I become like this?" When Reed was happy, Claire was quite panicked.

After all, he suddenly turned from a human into a dragon. Anyone would be very panicked before they figured out what was going on.

"My dear sister, don't panic. Wait for me to explain it to you and you will understand." Reed came directly to Claire and began to explain.

After hearing the explanation, Claire's panic was calmed down.

"In other words, now only Sid and I are dragons!" Compared to most of what Reed explained, Claire's focus made Reed a little speechless.

In fact, Claire was very sad when she found out that her brother had so many women besides that little bitch Alexia.

But now Claire is much happier, after all, she is the only one who is of the same clan as her brother, and her brother chose her among many women for this opportunity. Doesn't this prove in disguise that she, the sister, has always been the highest status in the eyes of her brother?

Feeling Claire's thoughts, Reed would definitely not pour cold water on her.

"Yes, only my sister and I are from the dragon clan." Li De nodded and confirmed.

"Sid." After saying that, Claire swam towards Reed unconsciously.

"Sister, try to change back into human form first." Reed stopped the emotional Claire. After all, he had no intention of coming to play in his true form at the moment.

"Oh, I see!" Claire couldn't help feeling a little disappointed when she heard that.

But when Claire saw the other girls looking at him with envy, he no longer felt disappointed.

In the next three days, Li De devoted himself to teaching the women whose magic power had already been transformed the techniques of using Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror Haki.

After the three girls had their initial introduction, Li De set out for the Sabaody Archipelago alone.

This time, Li De didn't plan to bring anyone with him. After all, if he really met someone with the right ability, for Li De, killing him would be just a matter of teleporting magic.

We brought them with us before because we had no base, but now that we have a base, the right thing to do is to keep them here and let them practice hard.

After spending a whole day, Li Decai finally arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, the last stop of the first half of the Grand Line, at nightfall.

He found a store that specialized in selling perpetual pointers. When Li De came out, he had two more perpetual pointers in his hands.

One pointed to Gaya Island, while the other pointed to the Seven Waters City.

Needless to say, Li De's target is definitely the sky island directly above Gaya Island. At this moment, Enel is still using the gold from the Land of Gold to build the Ark Motto, which he will use to travel to the Infinite Land.

During the last mission, Eneel had already run to the moon, so Li De chose the Snow-Snow Fruit and the Flame-Flame Fruit nearby.

But in this timeline, Enel is still there, so there is no reason for Li De to let him go.

Of course, Li De would not set off for Sky Island immediately.

His first stop was actually the Seven Waters City.

Li De went to the Seven Water City for two purposes. The first purpose was to find a suitable replacement for Delta.

And this person is none other than Khalifa!

To be honest, Delta people are not stupid, but the environment they grew up in has shaped their unique personality, which has caused great defects in their way of thinking, so that they find it difficult to understand or are unwilling to understand some slightly complicated things.

That's why Li Decai needs to find her a brain that can match the style of Shadow Courtyard.

There is no doubt that Khalifa, who usually deals with conspiracies and is good at lurking, came into Reed's sight.

And this can only be blamed on Kalifa's own bad luck. If the world where Reed was carrying out the mission this time was "Overlord", then the unlucky one would be Lana Tierre Shardun Lel Vansef, the so-called Golden Princess.

When it comes to finding a brain for Delta, Reed will not force himself to choose the best target.

Because there are so many smart female characters in the universe. Not to mention the distant ones, the "walking priestess" Yakushi Nono who belongs to the Root in the Naruto world is definitely better than Kalifa in this respect.

But Reed will not wait until he gets the mission to go to the Naruto world before taking Delta to fill the flaws in his way of thinking.

If it were a perfectionist or someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder, they might do the same, or even choose a better partner.

But in Li De's opinion, it is completely unnecessary, because Delta is positioned as a fighter. As long as he makes up for the defects in his thinking method and can stand on his own, it will be enough.

Besides, as an elite member of CP9, Kalifa is actually quite good, but her excellence is not as exaggerated as others.

After spending a day to arrive at the Seven Water City, Reed went to see Kalifa and stopped any further actions.

It wasn't a surprise, mainly because Kalifa was Li De's incidental target when he came to the Seven Water City.

Li De’s main target was not her, or rather, she was not worth Li De’s trip alone.

So what was Li De’s purpose?

After finding the bounty hunter family that made a living near the Seven Water City, Reed was attracted by Don Achino's devil fruit ability.

That’s right, the ability of the Heat-Hot Fruit that Don Achino possesses is exactly the ability that Reed is looking for himself.

As mentioned earlier, when Li De was in Iluber, he figured out the path he should take.

To sum up, this approach is to tap into the potential of your bloodline.

So how do we tap into the potential of our bloodline? The best way is to strengthen it according to its characteristics.

The first impression that the Great Sun Dragon bloodline gives people is not the dragon behind it, but the Great Sun in front.

When talking about Dainichi, what is the first thing that comes to mind?

Is the sun shining?
No, it's hot!
Because the sun itself is a big burning fireball.

Therefore, if you want to develop your bloodline, you will definitely find that the right route involves high temperatures.

Even a useless person can reach a high temperature of 10,000 degrees after gaining the ability, so what level will Li De reach?

And based on the original work, Reed estimated that Don Achino had basically not developed the ability of the Heat-Hot Fruit.

After all, with that body shape and his style of indulging in enjoyment, he doesn't look like someone who would spend time developing his abilities.

So Li De felt that this was a devil fruit that was greatly underestimated.

As for why among the two Hot-Hot Fruits, Reed did not choose the one in Charlotte Owen, but instead targeted the one in Don Achino's body, it was not because Don Achino was easier to kill than Charlotte Owen.

In fact, the ability of Charlotte Owen's Heat-Hot Fruit is heating, so Charlotte Owen has the title of Minister of Baking.

Even though Charlotte Owen can boil the sea in the anime, the temperature is actually not that high. After all, everyone knows that the boiling point of water is only 100℃.

This is very different from Don Achino who swam directly in the magma and used the magma to rinse his mouth.

Of course, Li De would not only look at the temperature. The most important thing is one for internal use and the other for external use.

However, Li De does not need the ability to heat the outside world. It would be more direct to use dragon breath than to use this ability.

Therefore, the ability to warm up internally is what he needs. After all, his ultimate goal is to tap the potential of his bloodline through his abilities.

In the original work, the Straw Hat Pirates encountered the Achino Family after they left Water Seven City and headed for the Devil's Triangle, but before they reached the Devil's Triangle.

In other words, the family’s base is located in the area between the Seven Water City and the Devil’s Triangle.

After finding a pointer full of records, Li De slowly flew into the sky, and then began a large-scale search in the direction of the record pointer.

After searching back and forth between the two locations several times, Li Decai finally found the Iceland group that appeared in the original book.

After finding the Iceland group, everything went smoothly. After all, the Achino family’s residence was too conspicuous. A tropical resort appearing in an iceberg would be hard to miss for anyone with enough eyes.
