One Piece: Obtaining the Black Dragon King Fruit at the Start

Chapter 13 Minos? The Black Dragon King?

Minos reflected on Acnologia's life, from a kind doctor to a dragon. It truly proved the saying that the boy who slays the dragon eventually becomes the dragon himself.

Minos, whose consciousness emerged from the system panel, saw that he was still in the sea. After cleaning himself up, he returned to the ship.

At the same time, Minos communicates with the system, causing it to put on the black cloak.

Ding! The black cloak is now on.

After the system finished speaking, Minos quickly checked his own condition.

Standing three meters tall, dressed in a black suit and a black cape of justice, he looks every bit the handsome young man.

But that's not the key point. The key point is his outfit. This is a completely different kind of naval admiral!

Minos thought that if he joined the Navy, he might be able to get the title of "Admiral of Darkness," hehehe!

Keke, get back to business.

Minos then took out a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit from his system inventory and stared blankly at the strange fruit in his hand.

The system noticed that Minos hadn't eaten and couldn't help but ask a question!

Ding! What's wrong, host? Why aren't you eating?

"Uh," Minos chuckled awkwardly after hearing the system's question. "That system... I was just thinking that if I ate this Devil Fruit, my strength might break through to the King level, which makes me a little hesitant."

bite,….

The system was speechless at Minos's words; it hadn't expected Minos to be such a sentimental person.

*Ding* Host, you're overthinking it. I forgot to remind you. This Dragon King Devil Fruit is too powerful, so this system has sealed it into three stages (juvenile, mature, and peak). Therefore, don't worry, host, you won't break through to the King level after eating it.

Ah!

The system's words snapped Minos out of his reverie, followed by Minos's flustered cries.

"No way! Lord Commander, maxed-out power is actually pretty good, there's no need to seal it!"

Minos was startled by the system's words: "Master, I was just making a comment, you didn't have to take it seriously, did you?"

Ding! This system has been sealed and cannot be changed.

Clearly, the system directly rejected the obnoxious Minos.

"Damn it." Minos couldn't help but curse under his breath after seeing the system's rejection.

Minos was now truly on the verge of tears. He had only made a casual remark, but the system immediately dealt him a major blow.

Is life really full of ups and downs?

Now that things had come to this, Minos couldn't change anything. He then asked the system if this Dragon King Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit had any drawbacks.

*Ding!* This Devil Fruit is a complete copy of Acnologia's, so there are no drawbacks. Even if there are, they will be fully adapted to, making the user even stronger. (Of course, note that the host might have a slight urge to slay dragons when encountering them, but don't panic; this drawback will disappear in the future.)

Seeing Minos's frustration at this point, it seems that gaining great power also comes with side effects.

Minos knew why Acnologia wanted to slay dragons after consuming the Dragon King Demon: it was because Acnologia hated dragons intensely.

Oh well, never mind. Minos figured this side effect wasn't really a side effect, so he just let it go.

Then, Minos remembered the weakness of Devil Fruits in the One Piece world: they are vulnerable to seawater and Seastone. He then asked the system again, "Master System, is the Dragon King Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit vulnerable to seawater and Seastone?"

Ding, no. Actually, the power used by this Dragon King Fruit is magic from the fairy world, so it has nothing to do with the One Piece world.

Hearing the system's affirmative words, Minos completely relaxed.

Qianghu, take off...

Although the Dragon King Devil Fruit has three stages, Minos is not worried at all, as there are still three years left before the main storyline begins.

With the aid of the Killing System over three years, he could become even stronger. His Dragon King Devil Fruit might even reach maturity.

With the system at his disposal and the Dragon King's Devil Fruit assisting him, he will be invincible.

Thinking of this, Minos immediately put the Dragon King Devil Fruit into his mouth and began to refine it.

There's a saying in the world of One Piece that Devil Fruits are incredibly unpalatable. I've heard they're like that thing?

Minos didn't feel anything special when he ate it; instead, he felt a surge of energy entering his body.

This puzzled Minos. In the pirate world, people who ate Devil Fruits all taste bad, but he didn't notice it!

While Minos was still wondering, his body quietly underwent a huge change.

Minos, noticing the changes in his body, leaped from the ship into the sky. Enveloped in black, evil energy, his hands quickly transformed into powerful dragon claws, his legs into dragon legs, his body into a gigantic dragon, with enormous black dragon wings growing from his sides, a huge dragon tail growing from his buttocks, and finally his head into a black, ferocious dragon mouth with bloodshot eyes.

And so Minos transformed into a black, hundred-meter-long dragon, exactly like Acnologia.

Minos, now a black dragon, soared through the air with exhilarating abandon. He roared with wild laughter, "So this is what flying feels like! And this power I have now is truly mighty!"

After Minos ate the Dragon King Devil Fruit, his strength, or rather, his dragon strength, underwent a tremendous change, leaping directly from the level of a quasi-admiral to the level of an admiral.

Not only that, his physique has undergone an astonishing transformation. Without advanced Armament Haki, nothing can harm him in the slightest.

Minotaur is currently so strong that his physique is no weaker than Kaido's in the pirate world. Moreover, he is only in his juvenile stage (just transformed into a dragon) and already possesses such a powerful physique. If he were to reach maturity or peak, then truly no one in the pirate world would be able to kill him.

As Minos soared through the air, he failed to notice a reporter in the town of Rogue who was secretly taking pictures with his camera.

The person being photographed was Minos, and the reporter excitedly exclaimed, "This is big news! Thanks to the president, I was able to photograph such a colossal creature. I'm sure I'll get a promotion because of this!"

This man was an employee of "News King Morgans." His name was Yamashita Maya. He had worked at the newspaper for many years but remained unknown. This left him very frustrated and unsure of what to do.

News King Morgans knew about Yamashita Maya (the bird), and also knew that he was his long-time employee who had always worked diligently, but Yamashita Maya's filming content was really not good (that is, it was not fresh and the public did not like to watch it).

Morgans couldn't bear to see Yamashita Masaya go to waste like this, so he sent him to the East China Sea to try and find some good material.
