The Bijo Bijo no Mi Fruit, looked incredibly mysterious. After playing with the Bijo Bijo no Mi Devil Fruit for a while, Ryuya directly ate it.
He didn't know if it was because it had no side effects, but the fruit had absolutely no taste.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
In the blink of an eye, a minute passed, and Ryuya didn't feel any strange changes in his body.
Could it be that it had no effect?
Just as this thought arose in Ryuya's mind,
A figure appeared before him.
The figure was the image of Ryuya beneath his cloak!
Seeing this, Ryuya knew that the Bijo Bijo no Mi had taken effect!
Ryuya examined the illusionary figure that looked exactly like him, reaching out to test it.
The illusion was very real, and it felt solid to the touch, possessing a portion of his strength.
This strength would become even stronger as he continued to develop it.
Ryuya covered his arm in Armament Haki and, without hesitation, shattered the illusion in front of him.
"It's got decent durability. As long as it's not a fatal injury, it shouldn't cause the illusion to dissipate."
Ryuya muttered to himself, then continued, "So, what about this!"
As Ryuya's words fell, over a hundred illusions appeared on the entire warship.
These illusions were all based on Ryuya's imagination!
They included Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido, Shanks, and others...
All of them were legendary figures on the sea.
If anyone else, or the Navy, saw this, they would be scared to death, thinking that there was some kind of terrifying conspiracy going on.
But Ryuya looked at the hundred illusionary figures in front of him, his brow furrowed slightly.
These illusionary figures were very faint, and each one looked very weak.
It must be because the power was distributed evenly!
Ryuya casually waved his hand, and these illusions dissipated into smoke.
On the warship, Ryuya continued to experiment with various abilities.
He discovered that the Bijo Bijo no Mi had a negligible effect on his own combat strength!
But its support role was terrifyingly strong!
It could also create illusions to disrupt opponents!
As the system had said, it was a top-tier Devil Fruit, although it excelled in support. But as the saying goes, there are no useless Devil Fruits, only useless users.
Ryuya felt that as he continued to develop it, he would definitely be able to develop even more powerful abilities in the future!
Ryuya's lips curved into a slight smile. In the following days, he continued to frantically develop the fruit's abilities and named his techniques.
Until the fixed Den Den Mushi on the warship rang.
"Brrr, brrr, brrr."
Following the sound, Ryuya went to the warship's cockpit.
After thinking for a moment, Ryuya answered the Den Den Mushi.
"All units, all units, the Marineford Promotion Ceremony has begun. Ensure the safety of the ceremony. Any warships outside that see pirates or suspicious figures, regardless of size, report them immediately."
"Repeat, repeat, Marineford..."
Ryuya hung up the Den Den Mushi. He heard the system's electronic voice echoing in his mind.
[Ding! Sign-in quest issued: Marineford Headquarters, Reward: Rokushiki peak! Time: 7 days!]
According to the warship's speed, they would arrive in less than seven days.
But he couldn't just sail there and sign in openly.
Since it was a Promotion Ceremony, there would definitely be many high-level combat forces present.
If he went there to sign in like this, he would definitely be targeted.
If he wasn't careful, he might even be left there!
That was not the outcome Ryuya wanted.
However, Ryuya thought of a pretty good plan.
So, in the following days, Ryuya didn't immediately head towards Marineford.
Instead, he started hunting pirates on the high seas, practicing his abilities along the way!
The pirates Ryuya targeted had a minimum bounty of over 100 million berries!
Even in these few days, a rumor of a mysterious bounty hunter had spread across the sea.
This rumor was about Ryuya.
"The Promotion Ceremony"
The Promotion Ceremony was a grand event for the Navy's reform and generational change!
Because Sengoku was promoted to Fleet Admiral, and Garp took over the position of Fleet Admiral, along with the vacancies for other Admirals, many potential Admirals began to challenge each other, creating many vacancies!
This was undoubtedly an opportunity to advance further!
Countless people began to prepare themselves, eager to participate in this grand event!
A small wooden ship sailed on the sea. Ryuya watched Marineford getting closer and closer, a slight smile playing on his lips.
The sun shone brightly, illuminating Ryuya's face, making him look gentle.
Yes, Ryuya had taken off his cloak, sailing towards Marineford openly.
"Ship ahead, please stop sailing!"
"Ship ahead, please stop sailing!"
Before they even reached Marineford, Ryuya's wooden ship was intercepted by Navy soldiers on patrol.
"Who are you? Why are you coming to Marineford?"
A Navy Captain asked Ryuya after the warship approached.
"I heard that the Navy is holding a Promotion Ceremony. I also want to participate and see what position my strength can get me."
Hearing Ryuya's words, the Navy Captain frowned. "The Promotion Ceremony is not open to the public! Besides, you think you're that strong? You want to see what position your strength can get you? I'd say you're a cannon fodder at best!"
Hearing the Captain's words, Ryuya didn't get angry. He simply picked up the sack behind him.
"So, what if I use this as an entry fee?"
The Navy Captain, at this moment, felt a little disgusted with Ryuya in front of him. "Do you think I'm someone who takes bribes? I would never... What is this!!!"
Before the Navy Captain could finish his sentence, he saw Ryuya take out a sack and pour out a bunch of heads.
"These are all pirates who were running rampant on the sea. Each pirate has a bounty of at least 100 million berries. Do you think I can use this as an entry fee?"
Ryuya's tone was very calm, but it created a huge wave in the Navy Captain's heart!
The Navy Captain subconsciously swallowed, looking at the heads. He recognized many familiar faces!
"Jack the Reaper, bounty of 170 million berries!"
"Fireworks Captain, bounty of 320 million berries!"
"This, this is! The 1 billion berry pirate!! The head of the Brute-Force Fruit user, Evry!!!"
The Navy Captain thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.
Otherwise, how could those pirates who were running wild on the sea appear before him!
The Navy Captain was now panicking. This wasn't cannon fodder!
If Ryuya was cannon fodder, then what was he?!
"Wa, wait a minute, I'll go and, and report to my superior."
The Navy Captain was already panicking. He was just a lowly Captain, and he had never seen such a scene before.
His speech was a little slurred because what was happening before him was too shocking!
