One Piece: Groudon the Beasts

Chapter 315 The Birth of the Mother Flame

Sabaody Archipelago, a lawless zone.

"Flame-Flame Fruit? Never heard of it."

"I remember a while ago, a Devil Fruit appeared at the auction house, but I don't know if it was the Flame-Flame Fruit."

"You can go to the auction house and ask."

Driven by the lure of tenfold or even hundredfold profits, unscrupulous merchants from various seas were willing to risk their lives to send large quantities of rare treasures to the Sabaody Archipelago, hoping to sell them for a high price.

Even the rarest Devil Fruits are frequently found in the black market of Sabaody Archipelago, but they are not as rare as the Mermaid.

Therefore, the news of the appearance of Devil Fruits did not attract much attention. After all, even among those unscrupulous merchants, very few had ever seen a Devil Fruit encyclopedia.

Manager Snake, along with several trusted men, investigated the black market. Despite failing to find the Devil Fruit's whereabouts due to the lure of money, they did find the seller.

Girl Ship Club in Chambord.

The seller was drunk, with women on either side of him.

"You're asking about that Devil Fruit?"

"Haha, this deal made me a fortune!"

"I never imagined that Devil Fruit could sell for 500 million Berries. Too bad I've almost spent all that money already... *burp*"

When the Devil Fruit was mentioned, the seller immediately became animated and boasted that this was the most profitable deal he had made in all these years.

He bought that fruit from a farmer in the West Sea for 500 million Berries, a hundredfold increase in value.

If you have money, you should spend it lavishly!
Snack called over a few more girls and skillfully poured them drinks.

"What does it look like?"

The seller staggered around for a while before finally remembering: "Hiccup~ It's a red fruit, it looks like it's about to catch fire."

Devil Fruits have strange and varied appearances and colors, making it difficult to determine their specific abilities based on their appearance alone.

It could be extremely powerful, or it could just be an ordinary ability. For a merchant who has no power to even kill a chicken, selling it is the best way to preserve his capital.

The news quickly reached Goode's ears.

"Red fruit."

Good stroked his chin.

There's a high probability it's the Flame-Flame Fruit!

More than a year has passed since the Marineford War, and the Flame-Flame Fruit could appear at any time. As for who will buy it, there's almost no need to investigate.

Doflamingo!
Doflamingo controls almost the entire black market in Sabaody Archipelago, engaging in not only human trafficking but also numerous other illegal transactions.

If a Devil Fruit appears, given that guy's personality, he definitely won't let it go, and no underground force in Sabaody Archipelago can compete with him.

"Sail!"

New world, Dressrosa.

"Fufu~ Fufufu~~"

Doflamingo held a red Devil Fruit, his laughter growing increasingly sinister.

"Logia-type - Flame-Flame Fruit!"

"Even the heavens are on my side!"

After Whitebeard and Ace died, the Donquixote Family secretly searched for the Flame-Flame Fruit, as well as the Dark-Dark Fruit and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Now, I have finally obtained one of them.

Although it cannot compare to the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, the Flame-Flame Fruit is definitely a top-tier ability. At this juncture when the Holy Land welcomes him back, this fruit will become his trump card.

He had already decided who he would give the fruit to.

Heart—Vergo!

However, this matter will have to wait until he returns to the Holy Land, where he will bestow the Flame-Flame Fruit upon Vergo as a Celestial Dragon, in order to intimidate the other Celestial Dragons.

He wanted to show those Celestial Dragons that even though he lived in the filthy lower realm, his wealth and power would not be inferior to theirs!
Trebol leaned forward, almost touching Doflamingo, his sticky snot just a hair's breadth away from Doflamingo.

"Hey~ hey~ Dover, what about Goode?"

"Don't worry about him."

Doflamingo leaned back uncomfortably, creating a slight distance between them.

There are too many people who want the Flame-Flame Fruit, and Goode is one of them. He once asked Goode to help him find it.

In the past, he might have actually given the Flame-Flame Fruit to Goode, in order to gain more leverage with the beasts.

But now he has a stronger backing.

The beasts are indeed powerful, and the Hoenn government is not to be underestimated either, but the Celestial Dragons are the rulers of the world!
As long as that national treasure exists, the struggles of mortals are meaningless; no one can withstand its power, not even the Four Emperors. "Fufufufu~~"

Ming laughed loudly, looking up at the sky.

The winds of a new era are blowing towards him!

On the other side, Egherd.

Inside the Mother Spark Laboratory.

Inside the enormous fusion furnace, a wisp of flame is burning.

"Finally, we succeeded!"

Vegapunk and his six clones stood excitedly before the fusion path. After decades of research, they had finally discovered infinite energy.

Mother Flame!
However, whether it really works still needs to be verified.

Vegapunk looked at his clone.

"Don't let the World Government know about this for now, understand?"

"clear."

The clones nodded.

They are all Vegapunks, the only difference being their personalities and roles, but they synchronize their brains every day and are very clear about the original's thoughts.

The Mother Flame possesses immense energy, making it extremely dangerous; it must never be revealed to the public until it is fully mastered.

After witnessing the birth of the Mother Spark, Vegapunk and his clones returned to their posts, with York, representing desire, returning to his room.

"We've finally succeeded in developing it!"

York's eyes gleamed greedily as he took out a Den Den Mushi to contact the Holy Land.

She had been waiting for this day for so long!
Once she has the Mother Flame, she can negotiate with the Five Elders and become the most honored Celestial Dragon in the world!

Not only that, she also wants to eliminate the original Vegapunk and all the others; she alone is enough for Vegapunk!

"Plop plop plop~~"

"Kacha!"

The Den Den Mushi connected quickly.

Upon learning of the successful development of the "Mother Flame," Satan's expression changed instantly. He immediately went to the Hall of Power and summoned the other five elders to meet with Im.

The castle hall, the empty throne.

Im, trailing her long skirt, sat on the throne, her sharp gaze looking down at the Five Elders below.

The series of failures had pushed her patience to its limit.

The five elders knelt down together.

"The Five Elders pay their respects to Lord Im!"

"."

Im gave him a cold look.

The five elders lowered their heads.

"As you wished, the Mother Flame has been successfully developed."

"I can't wait any longer."

Im spoke in a cold tone.

In the Kingdom of Lulucia, she suffered unimaginable humiliation, and now her most urgent task is to kill that man and destroy everything he owns.
