Chapter 107 World's No. 1 Combat Power!
"Lucifer is not weak, and it's only natural that Jack is no match for him."
"It's just that Simon managed to find Lucifer as a backer, something Jack didn't expect."
"I can only say that Jack was out of luck!"
The only one daring to say these words at this time was Ember, the Flame Calamity.
Anyone else would have been reduced to ashes by Kaido's dragon breath.
"Laozi doesn't want to hear any more nonsense! Immediately send someone to find that brat!"
"Dare to steal Laozi's Devil Fruit and kill my subordinates? I will not spare him!"
"It's time for that arrogant kid to experience the world's number one combat power, so he can finally realize that what he did was nothing but a child's game!"
With a roar, Kaido, in his blue dragon form, soared into the sky and flew through the hole in the ceiling, disappearing into the clouds.
The green dragon raged in the black clouds, and endless lightning struck him, yet failed to pierce his dragon scales— it was as if they were merely tickling him.
This is Kaido, the strongest creature in the world.
His defensive power is unparalleled, and in decades of roaming the seas, only one person has left a scar on him.
His terrifying physical power, combined with the Green Dragon Fruit, gives Kaido an incredible defense and self-healing ability—his body could almost be called immortal.
After Kaido's command, all the Beasts Pirates' spies in the New World were dispatched to find Lucifer's whereabouts.
Only the blood of the one who angered the emperor of the New World could quell his fury!
Fanlin Carl, Lucifer, and their team entered a volcano, following the treasure map.
The heat here was intense, as though it could incinerate anyone who dared enter.
"This is it."
Simon came to a rock wall, glancing at the map before speaking.
"Weibull, take care of it."
"Yes, Captain Lucifer!"
Weibull stepped forward, swinging his naginata with great force.
With a loud bang, the volcanic rock wall was split open, revealing a large hole.
Smoke and dust billowed everywhere, but a faint golden light emerged from within.
As they entered the cave, they were greeted by an enormous treasure vault.
Gold coins piled up like hills, with gems, diamonds, palace treasures, ornate swords, crowns, and more.
The treasure was dazzling, almost innumerable.
"Hehehe, we've hit the jackpot! This time, we're really rolling in it!"
"There are so many treasures!" Guy couldn't hold back and turned into a ball of gas, rushing to the hill of gold coins and scattering them everywhere.
Jack the Ripper and Simon were stunned, gazing in awe at the treasure in front of them.
"So much..."
"Yeah, I never imagined this either," Simon said, still in disbelief.
But suddenly, Guy, Jack, and Simon noticed that Lucifer, Enel, Cavendish, and the others didn't react.
They stared at the treasure as if it were just a pile of stones.
Weibull didn't change his expression, as he wasn't very smart and had no concept of wealth—he was more focused on food.
The others were similarly indifferent, which made them wonder.
"Hey, Enel, aren't you surprised?" Jack asked.
Simon's gaze turned to Enel as well.
"What's so surprising? It's just a batch of treasures."
"There are far more treasures on my Sky Island, and this is nothing compared to that."
"That's right, we discovered the legendary Golden City!" Cavendish held up a rose and said triumphantly.
It was the discovery of the Golden City that first brought Cavendish fame, making him the darling of many fans around the world.
As Cavendish spoke, Jack and Simon immediately recalled hearing news of the Golden City a few months ago.
At that time, Jack had been a slave in Mariejois, and Simon didn't pay much attention to the news, so they didn't know that it was the Ghost Pirates who made the discovery.
Compared to the legendary Golden City, this treasure was really nothing.
"Money means nothing to our Nether Pirates. As long as Captain Lucifer is around, what need do we have for wealth?"
"You probably forgot that the captain's power can create creatures from the void."
"As long as the captain wishes, he can even create a mountain of gold with ease!"
Cavendish shook his head, looking at the amazed Guy, Jack, and Simon like they were country bumpkins who had never seen the world.
The three of them stood dumbfounded, as if thousands of muddy horses were galloping through their minds.
It was a little embarrassing to get so excited over a few gold coins.
They realized the true meaning of "the fool is me."
A bitter feeling rose in all three of them simultaneously.
It turns out our Nether Pirates are so rich that they have more money than they could ever use.
But they couldn't be happy about it now.
"Okay, let's get the Devil Fruit first."
Lucifer spoke flatly.
"Yes, Captain Lucifer!"
Changing the subject, Cavendish sent a few people to search for the Devil Fruit.
Soon, Guy found something buried beneath a hill of gold coins.
He cleared the gold coins away and found a golden throne, upon which sat a skeleton, holding a golden treasure chest in its bony hands.
Guy opened the chest, and inside was a Devil Fruit.
"Found it, Captain Lucifer!"
Guy rushed over with the treasure chest.
Lucifer took out the Devil Fruit, which was brown and black with strange spiral patterns all over it.
This wasn't a banana shape, unlike the usual Zoan fruits.
But according to the treasure map, this was an ancient species of Zoan, which made sense.
"Alright, now that we have the Devil Fruit, let's leave."
Lucifer put the fruit away and turned without hesitation.
Enel, Cavendish, Baby5, and Weibull quickly followed without a word.
But Guy, Jack, and Simon hesitated.
"Hey, what are you doing? Hurry up and catch up!" Cavendish turned back and called out.
"Aren't we going to stay and look at the treasure?" Guy asked, glancing around at the mountains of gold and jewels, feeling conflicted.
This treasure, worth more than 3 billion Baileys, was a fortune by anyone's standards. To just leave without even glancing at it?
Are you kidding me?
Is this how pirates act?
Jack and Simon shared the same feeling.
They had never seen so much treasure before and were reluctant to just walk away.
"Then what else do you want? Take the treasure with you?" Enel raised an eyebrow, looking at Guy as if he were dealing with an idiot.
"If you want to take it, go ahead. We don't have the time for that."
With that, he turned and left.
Guy, Jack, and Simon exchanged glances, not daring to stay longer, and quickly followed.
What could they say?
Their captain was just too rich.
The group returned to the Nether, which set sail immediately, leaving Fanlin Carl behind.
On the deck, the three of Guy, Jack, and Simon gazed at the receding treasure island, their hearts heavy with regret.
A treasure worth over 3 billion Baileys… it would be a lie to say they weren't distressed.
Today, they finally understood what it was like to have a captain who was too rich.
It was a bittersweet feeling!
"So what? It's just money. We have plenty of it."
Cavendish patted Guy and the others on the shoulder, shaking his head.
"That's right, what we need most is money, after all," Enel said, munching on an apple and chuckling.
"Alright, gather around."
Lucifer gave the order.
With a wave of his hand, three Devil Fruits appeared on the table.
"Simon, you provided the treasure map, and you were instrumental in finding two Devil Fruits. So, I'll give you the chance to choose."
"These three fruits: one is Jack's ancient mammoth fruit, one is an unknown ancient species recorded in the treasure map, and the other is my collection..."
"Pick one."
