Phoenix Reborn In One Piece

Nami didn't expect Ryuen to take action.

"But Ryuen, can you really beat that big black bear?" Nami pouted, worriedly looking at Ryuen.

"Nami, don't worry, I'm very strong. This time, I'll show you the power of my devil fruit!" Ryuen said mysteriously.

"Alright, but... be careful. If you can't beat it, run back quickly, and I'll take you into my space!" Little Nami took a deep breath and said seriously.

"Yeah, I know. But don't worry, I can take down the black bear in one move!" Hearing Nami agree, Ryuen strode towards the black bear!

Nami watched Ryuen walk towards the big black bear, a trace of worry on her face.

She quickly opened a door nearby, ready to take Ryuen away at any moment!

Ryuen walked step by step towards the big black bear, and his body gradually ignited with blazing flames!

Little Nami saw this and her mouth opened in surprise!

Because she saw that Ryuen's footsteps were on fire! No, the ground he stepped on was turning into lava!

It was the first time she saw Ryuen's flames being so powerful, melting the ground and rocks!

"Wow! Ryuen is amazing!"

Little Nami's eyes sparkled with admiration, her bright eyes seemed to be glowing.

At this moment, with a muffled "boom," Ryuen instantly transformed into his full beast form!

The huge black bear also noticed Ryuen approaching. It let out a thunderous roar, trying to scare him off.

However, Ryuen was not affected at all.

With a whoosh, he shot up into the sky like a rocket, his fiery eyes passionately staring at the black bear below.

As Ryuen ascended, the space around him distorted due to the intense heat from his flames.

At this moment, Ryuen was already thinking about what delicious dish Bellemere could make from this big guy when they got back to Cocoyasi Village!

Feeling Ryuen's obvious challenge, the black bear was furious.

But because it was too heavy, no matter how hard it jumped, it couldn't reach the high-flying Ryuen.

In his full beast form, Ryuen's abilities were somewhat similar to Marco's Phoenix Fruit powers, both having an elemental effect.

However, there were clear differences between them.

The Phoenix Fruit's flames had strong healing powers, while Ryuen's Phoenix Fire Fruit's flames represented endless destruction!

The black bear now sensed great danger from Ryuen.

It suddenly wanted to run away; this transforming guy was too powerful!

Just as the black bear was thinking this, Ryuen flapped his wings, and a scorching flame instantly surrounded the black bear!

The terrifying heat made the black bear's eyes fill with fear.

It tried to rush out, but every time it got close to the flames, the intense heat scared it back.

"Flame Emperor Strike!" Ryuen roared as he charged at the black bear.

His small flaming paw pressed down on the black bear's forehead.

With a "squelch," his paw pierced the bear's forehead, and the black bear let out a miserable howl.

Two seconds later, the black bear fell to the ground with a thud, dead as can be!

Ryuen returned to his human form, retracted the surrounding flames, and gave little Nami a proud smile.

"Cool!!"

"Ryuen, you really took down such a big black bear with one move..." Little Nami's mouth was wide open, big enough to fit a large orange!

She then closed the door she had just opened and walked over to Ryuen.

"No big deal~ I told you I'm very strong!" Ryuen felt very pleased with Nami's praise.

Nami looked at the two giant beasts on the ground, feeling very happy. Ryuen had just said that Beast King meat would taste even better!

"Ryuen, quickly deal with the Beast King. I want to move them all into the other space!" Little Nami said eagerly.

She was already imagining how shocked Bellemere and the others would be when they saw so much meat tonight.

"Okay, Nami, step back a bit. I'll handle it. I'll skin the tiger and bear to make some cool cloaks!" Ryuen drew his knife and started working on the two big beasts.

Hearing that Ryuen wanted to make cloaks from the Beast King's skins, Nami suddenly wanted to make some clothes from them too.

She looked at the tiger and decided that when they got back, she would ask Bellemere to make her some clothes from the tiger skin!

Then she would be a little tiger, roar!

The two giant beasts were so big that it took Ryuen a long time to cut them into pieces of meat and bone.

By the time Ryuen and Nami moved all the meat into the other space, it was already afternoon.

"Nami, we need to go back. If we return too late, Bellemere and the others will be very worried." Ryuen said softly.

"Okay!"

"Then let's go back!" Nami was very satisfied with this trip out to sea.

She not only ate the legendary Devil Fruit but also got some rare books about the weather and lots of beast king meat.

This trip was really great!

Ryuen then transformed into his full beast form. After putting away all his flames, little Nami skillfully climbed onto Ryuen's back again.

"Nami, are you seated well?"

"Yes, Ryuen, I'm ready. Let's go home!"

"Alright!"

Ryuen flapped his wings, and with a few whooshes, he flew up to the clouds with Nami.

After Nami figured out the direction, Ryuen quickly flew towards Cocoyasi Village.

"Nami, next time, let's visit Loguetown! I have something to take care of there."

"Loguetown? The place where the Pirate King was executed?"

"Yes, that's the place!"

"Sure, but I need to prepare. It might take about a month."

"A month? Okay, that's fine. Thanks, navigator!"

"No problem, no problem. After all, I'm your navigator, hehehe~"

Hearing that Nami would be ready to go to Loguetown in a month, Ryuen felt relieved.

His purpose for going to Loguetown was to learn Marine Rokushiki, especially the powerful movement technique Soru, which Ryuen really wanted.

When the fish-man Arlong comes, he could use Soru's speed to take him down before he escapes into the sea!

Arlong was the third strongest in the Fish-Man Pirates, only below Fisher Tiger and the future Shichibukai Jinbe.

That's why Ryuen took Arlong so seriously; he didn't want to be caught off guard.

Two hours later, Ryuen landed on the beach behind Cocoyasi Village. By then, the sun was almost setting.

"Ryuen, do you think Bellemere will find out we went out to sea?" Nami asked, shrinking her head.

"Nami, we have to be honest with Bellemere, or we can't explain the beast king meat.

But don't worry too much. We're both Devil Fruit users now. I believe Bellemere will understand." Ryuen held Nami's little hand to comfort her.

Hearing Ryuen's words, Nami's nervousness eased a lot. Mainly, Bellemere's angry look was too scary.
