Pirates: Who is the real sun god?

"Rhine, do you have any opinion about Barrett?"

After a moment of silence, Sora's gaze turned to Rhine again.

"Marshal Kong, you think too highly of me. With Barrett's intelligence, if I could guess what he would do next, I wouldn't have almost died in Albana." Rhine smiled bitterly.

"Boss Kong, please stop targeting Sister-in-law Rhine. Now Zefa and Sister-in-law Rhine are both instructors for new recruits. What else do you have to worry about?"

Kong asked Rhine questions again and again, which immediately made Garp unhappy. He stared at Kong with dissatisfaction in his tiger eyes.

"Brother Kong, you know Rhine's personality. She is not the kind of person who thinks deeply. You should stop making things difficult for her." Zhan Guo echoed.

"Marshal Kong, those new recruits who have not yet arrived in the elite training camp are all here for Brother Zefa. Is it really okay for you to do this?" He said quietly.

Zefa and Rhine didn't say anything, but looked at the three of them with gratitude.

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense." A trace of embarrassment flashed across Kong's face, and then he took out two devil fruits and placed them on the table, smiling and said to Zefa and Rhine, "Zefar, Rhine, these are the two devil fruits I promised you."

"Thank you, Marshal Kong."

Zefa and Rhine saluted together.

Zhan Guo and He smiled at each other. This was one of the conditions they fought for Zefa's family.

"Boss Kong, what kind of fruit is this? Let me make it clear first, the trash ones won't do. Luke is my apprentice." Garp spoke while picking his nose.

The others also looked towards Sora.

"Zeff, don't listen to Garp. Here is an Animal-type - Dragon-Dragon Fruit - Ancient Species - Tyrannosaurus Rex form, and one is a Parahuman-type - Phantom Fruit."

Kong glared at Garp fiercely, then looked at Zephyr and Rhine with a smile on his face.

"Boss Kong, you are being too perfunctory! The ancient seed is okay, but what the hell is that phantom fruit? You have the nerve to take it out." Garp said dissatisfiedly.

Zefa's face looked a little gloomy. He also felt that what Garp said was right. The Illusion Fruit was indeed useless.

Zhan Guo and He also looked unhappy and glanced at Kong with a little dissatisfaction.

Kong looked embarrassed and a little aggrieved. He really wanted to say that being able to obtain an ancient seed was the result of his hard work. He was about to open his mouth to explain further.

Unexpectedly, Rhine said excitedly, "Marshal Kong, are you sure that devil fruit is the phantom fruit?"

Sora nodded blankly.

The others also looked at Rhine in confusion.

"Okay then, these are the two devil fruits." Seeing Kong nod, Rhine nodded excitedly.

"Sister Rhine, don't be anxious! Boss Kong can't handle this matter. I will go to the Holy Land to get it for you." Cap said anxiously. He thought Rhine was compromising.

"That's Sister Rhine. We'll find a way to get you a new one." He also agreed eagerly.

Sengoku and an embarrassed Sora nodded together.

Zefa looked at Rhine with some concern.

Seeing everyone's concerned eyes, Rhine was moved and explained with a smile on his face, "Everyone, don't underestimate this devil fruit. If Luke's physique was not too weak and he needed to use an animal-type devil fruit to strengthen his physique, I would have given this devil fruit to Luke."

"This devil fruit is not weak."

After saying that, Rhine winked playfully.

Everyone was stunned again. From Rhine's expression, it was obvious that Rhine was not hiding it, but really wanted this devil fruit.

"Sister Rhine, can you tell us about this devil fruit?" He asked curiously.

The others also became interested and turned to look at Rhine.

"There's no rule that says clones can't materialize and attack!" Rhine asked with a mysterious smile.

The people present were not fools. After hearing Rhine's words, they immediately realized that their thoughts had been limited by the previous user of the Illusion Fruit.

Then everyone gave Rhine a thumbs up. Rhine didn't say anything more. He took a bite of the devil fruit in front of everyone. His distorted expression made everyone present laugh in good faith.

Afterwards, after Kong made a phone call, the World Government's CP organization became busy and a plan to capture Barrett and King was quickly formed.

……

New World, Leah Island.

Boom boom——

In the center of Leyia Island, a volcano erupted. Countless huge fireballs rushed into the sky from the crater. Black smoke filled the entire sky. The area within a radius of several kilometers was covered with boiling, red-hot magma, which made a "gurgling" sound and released high temperatures unscrupulously.

A few hundred meters away from the lava, Barrett and Jhin stood together panting, looking at the lava not far away with their bodies in disarray.

"Boss, are you sure you can still bear it?"

Jhin looked at Barrett, whose whole body was burned red, his eyes full of worry. This was their bad luck. They had not had time to adapt to everything. Only one week after they arrived, the volcano suddenly erupted, leaving them no chance to prepare.

He was better off, as he had eaten the devil fruit several months earlier than Barrett. Although the temperature of his flame was not as high as that of magma, it was not much different. Moreover, his speed and observation Haki were stronger than Barrett's. He was not hit head-on, and except for being a little embarrassed, he was not injured at all.

But Barrett was not so lucky. Not only had he just eaten the Devil Fruit and had not had time to develop it, his luck was also extremely bad and he was hit by a blast of lava. If it weren't for his strong physique and the fire ability of the mythical beast, he would have been crippled if not dead. But now he was also seriously injured. Not only was his whole body burned, but there was also a hint of meat on his body. His long flowing golden hair turned directly into short hair, and only strips of cloth were left on his clothes. Several bones were broken where he was hit by the lava.

But now, he still wants to continue to experience the magma.

"Jin, don't worry about me. Now is the opportunity to hone your skills."

Barrett endured the pain of the burns and slowly approached the magma. He found that being burned by the magma not only increased his physical strength, but also increased the temperature of the flames.

Because just now, he was hit by magma, the temperature of the flames rose rapidly, and his resistance to the magma flames increased rapidly, which gave him the power to resist briefly and escape from the magma.

"Okay! Then I'll go get some meat."

Jin didn't try to persuade him anymore and just leaped up into the sky.

Because he knew Barrett's temper, instead of trying to persuade him here, he might as well go get some meat to replenish his energy.

“The training begins now.”

After Jhin left, Barrett did not use the Armament Haki. He just gritted his teeth and walked towards the edge of the magma step by step. The scorching temperature almost dried him out, but he also felt that the temperature he could control was rising step by step.

When he was one hundred meters away from the magma, Barrett had to stop, because even here, he found that the temperature was frighteningly high, far beyond his endurance.

Barrett could only give up moving forward and use his heart to sense the temperature at the moment in order to increase the temperature he could mobilize.

Time flies, and a few hours have passed. The bright moon comes with a sky full of stars, illuminating the earth with its silvery light.

Barrett slowly opened his eyes with a hint of surprise on his face. His guess was correct. If he wanted to increase the temperature of the fruit, he could only increase it faster by experiencing it himself. In just a few hours, the temperature of his own flame had increased a little.

"Sure enough, there are no shortcuts for the strong."

Looking at the crater a few hundred meters away, Barrett's eyes were determined. He planned to enter the volcano to practice after becoming familiar with the laws of volcanic eruptions.

After staying for a while, Barrett turned and left, and found Jhin at the edge of a small woods a few hundred meters away from him.

At this time, Jin was lighting a bonfire and roasting a piece of unknown animal meat. The meat was sizzling and oozing oil, and the aroma of meat filled the air.

Barrett, who was already starving, couldn't help swallowing his saliva and walked quickly towards Jhin.

"Boss, eat one piece first."

When Jhin saw Barrett coming, he smiled and cut off a piece of meat and handed it to Barrett.

Barrett took the barbecue without hesitation and started to eat it. He had consumed too much energy before and was seriously injured. He urgently needed meat to replenish his energy and recover from his injuries.

Seeing this, Jin smiled and cut off a piece of meat. While eating, he asked, "Boss, how do you feel about your training this time?"

"Not bad, it's a small improvement." Barrett smiled and said, "Jin, I've always wanted to ask you, what is the intensity of your race's flame? I saw you were quite relaxed just now."

"Boss, to be honest, I don't really know the answer to your question, but the magma during the day can indeed hurt me. Maybe it's because I ate the Suzaku Fruit." Jin explained while eating meat.

"Then can the innate flame of your race increase its temperature?" Barrett asked curiously.

"No, if our fire could be strengthened, my race wouldn't be living so miserably." Jhin shook his head with a look of sadness and bitterness on his face.

Barrett was stunned for a moment. What Jhin said was right. If Lunalia could really increase the temperature of the flame, then there would be no need for the Celestial Dragons. Why would they need to hide their identities and hide everywhere?

"It's okay. I will get it back with you in the future."

Barrett patted Jhin's shoulder and spoke softly to comfort him.

"Um--"

Jhin nodded heavily and ate the meat with tears in his eyes.
