Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

"It's been so long since I've seen humans!"

With a deafening laugh, several giant trees on the right were ripped open, and the giant [Blue Demon] Dongli, dressed in warrior's armor, wearing a helmet, holding a round shield in his left hand, and with a long beard like Guan Yu, strode towards Hai.

Wow!

Looking up at the giant whose fingers were twice the size of her own, Vivi covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed in amazement, "Wow! It's so big! This is the first time I've ever seen such a tall giant!"

"Hahahaha! I am the strongest warrior of Elbaf, the Blue Oni, Dorry!"

Bending down to look at the two little ones, [Blue Oni] Dongli laughed loudly, "Let me invite you to my home! It's been so long since I've seen talking humans..."

"Sure! If you don't mind..."

Upon hearing this, Hai responded with a smile, then pulled Vivi and Karu up and leaped onto the broad shoulders of [Blue Demon] Dongli.

"What a naturally outgoing kid, hahaha..."

Completely unperturbed, the "Blue Oni" Tori drew his massive longsword and grabbed it with his left hand.

The dead plesiosaur turned and walked directly toward its dwelling not far away.

dong dong dong!dong dong dong!

"..."

Karoo, the land duck, trembled like a quail, clinging to the giant's shoulder, too afraid to move.

Weiwei, sitting on its back, also tried to remain calm, her face full of conflict, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it...

In this regard.

Hai didn't pay much attention to it, but instead multitasked with the giant Dongli, chatting and laughing while silently using his talent absorption.

The opportunity has been presented to us; it would be a waste not to seize it.

[Talent Acquisition: Hegemony (Golden)]

[Note: By absorbing the golden talent 'Overlord,' a unique bloodline inheritance skill of the giant race, one can unleash powerful shockwaves while wielding a weapon. The stronger the overlord aura, the greater the power. With the 'Dual Concentration' talent, the effect can be 'doubled' or more at the critical point of maximum power...]

··· ·Requesting 0 flowers ········

Huh?

How could they actually acquire the [Hegemony]?

Isn't this a technique that only the strongest among the giants can use?

Upon seeing the talent that he had acquired the skill type, a hint of surprise flashed in Hai Chongtong's eyes.

In the original work, it seems that apart from Dorry and the other giant leader, only Charlotte Sixty, one of the Four Emperors, that fat old lady, could use a similar move, right?

He never expected to acquire even this kind of talent; he originally thought he would get some kind of giant physique or something similar...

'It's a golden-colored talent, after all; let's fuse with it first...'

A thought came to mind.

The talent transforms into a warm current that permeates all muscle fibers, undergoing the deepest level of transformation and strengthening.

 …  

A sharp, stinging pain arose, causing Hai to tense up abruptly. However, under the effect of "Dual Concentration," he remained calm and continued his cheerful conversation with Dongli, while his other will suppressed all the excruciating pain.

The way countless muscle fibers were torn apart one by one and then intertwined and combined in a specific structure seemed to be transforming the body into that of a giant.

Beneath the loose, jet-black robe, his muscles constantly expanded and contracted, and even his height and build were changing in minute increments of centimeters.

Finally, when the warm currents dissipated.

His height was fixed at 195 centimeters, and his physique under his robes showed obvious muscle lines, exuding a powerful sense of explosiveness.

has it ended?

The excruciating pain subsided, and Hai breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he slowly clenched his right hand, and a feeling of power that seemed capable of destroying everything welled up inside him.

Of course, this might just be an illusion caused by muscle enhancement.

But Hai could clearly sense that if he were to use [Flying Slash] now, it would far surpass his previous level.

And it's far beyond that.

This time, the talent I acquired was truly a huge gain!

I originally thought that even if [Hegemony] was good, it was just a skill-based talent.

However, the physical enhancement that it brought along was a completely unexpected bonus.

Thinking of this, Hai couldn't help but recall the "Red Oni" Brogy he had met before, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.

'Since Dorry has such great talent, Brogy shouldn't be too far behind, right?'

'By the way! After this enhancement, your physique star rating should have increased quite a bit, right?' Nine.

Chapter 142 A Century of Slaughter!

A thought came to my mind.

Hai Chongtong slightly narrowed his eyes, bringing up the [Attribute Panel].

……

"I'm not surprised that my [Constitution] increased by one star..."

"But how come my [Swordsmanship] has also increased by half a star?"

His face showed surprise, while Hai remained silent.

However, upon reflection, with the Sword Demon's 79x swordsmanship amplification talent, absorbing and consuming the techniques of the Overlord is not a difficult task.

At least now, the concept of simplifying complexity in the 【Hegemony】 technique that he had been holding in his mind has been thoroughly analyzed by the 【Sword Demon】.

Naturally, this also means that he absorbed it completely and digested it thoroughly.

He could even incorporate the techniques of the Hegemony into the Sword Drawing Technique if he so desired.

"The [unsealing progress] is too slow. I haven't paid attention for a while, and it's only reached 38%..."

Hai stroked his chin, looking thoughtful.

Now that our physical constitution has been strengthened, we need to hurry up with the further development of our Devil Fruit abilities.

After all, the development and use of powerful abilities are directly linked to the consumption of physical strength...

Thump!

Hahahaha!

"We've arrived! Hai..."

After chatting all the way, [Blue Demon] Dongli stopped with a cheerful expression, pointed to the huge cave ahead and said, "This is my home, what do you think? Pretty good, right! Hahahaha..."

"You guys come down and rest for a bit. I'll take care of this little guy and make you our local specialty, Elbaf roasted meat!"

Having said that, the giant Dongli, who had placed Hai and Weiwei on a giant rock resembling a chair, eagerly and skillfully set up a fire, briefly processed the plesiosaur, and started roasting it.

Not long after.

Once the meat is cooked through, Dongli sprinkles on a special gray seasoning.
