The Alternatives of the Tianlong Family

"Ding, the paper fruit has reached the required level of advanced quality."

Upon hearing this, Is stood frozen in place for several seconds. He had a feeling that the system had tricked him, but he couldn't find any evidence.

"Well, at least we got the last bit done," Is complained.

Without much hesitation, he spoke again.

"Begin the next stage."

"Ding, advancing in progress."

"Ding! You have inherited a 50% increase in resilience."

"Ding! Inherited previously acquired attribute Burn!"

"Ding! Gained 100% immunity to Seastone-type items."

"Ding! You have obtained the [Awakening] of the Devil Fruit."

Earlier, Iskandar had wanted to complain about not gaining any attributes this time, but when he saw the last one, his eyes lit up.

"Awakening?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a brand new memory flooded into his mind. Yes, this memory was indeed related to awakening.

Is closed his eyes; he could clearly sense the objects around him, including living beings.

After opening his eyes, Is took a few steps forward and came to a tree that was neither too big nor too small.

He reached out and touched it, and in the next moment, the tree was transformed into countless pieces of paper that fluttered about.

"To turn everything around you into weapons to fight for yourself?"

Is muttered something, took another step forward, and the ground instantly turned into a thick stack of papers.

As flames erupted from his feet, the paper on the paper-like ground also burst into flames.

"It seems that another fruit can also be used in combination... not bad."

Muttering to himself, Is deactivated his Devil Fruit power. In this place, he dared not use it extensively, lest he accidentally make a mess of the surroundings.

Today, Is planned to come here. It has taken quite a bit of time to get things going.

Fortunately, it worked out in the end, otherwise he would have been depressed for a whole night.

Seeing Is walk in from the backyard, Rhodes Minian stepped forward and asked, "Master, has (Zhao Ma's) training ended for today?"

"Mm!" Is replied, wiping the sweat from his body.

"The food has gone cold, I'll go prepare some fresh food for you right away."

"No need, I'm fine with cold food."

Is felt there was no need to prepare new ones, after all, it didn't matter much to him.

"Then I'll go and give you a bath."

"you?"

"Do you dislike me?"

Rhodes Minian blinked at Is.

"up to you!"

After leaving a message, Is headed straight for the bathroom.

Here's the first update since the book went live. I'll be guaranteeing at least seven updates tomorrow. I hope you all will support me; after all, subscriptions determine the fate of this book. Thank you, dear readers!

Chapter 62

He hesitated for a few seconds as he approached the bathroom.

"Forget it, let's go soak in the hot springs instead," Is muttered, then changed direction.

Undoubtedly, after a busy day, a bath is the most comfortable thing to do. After changing into a bath towel, Is went straight down to the hot spring, leaned against the wall, and closed his eyes.

Several minutes later, faint footsteps could be heard behind Is.

As Is looked up, a barefoot woman came into view.

And she was none other than Rhodes Minian.

"I...I thought you were in the bathroom!!"

She muttered something under her breath and stepped into the hot spring with somewhat nervous steps.

Is remained silent, somewhat dazed, unsure of what to do, after all, this was her first time with Is.

The main problem was that she forgot to ask the maids what to do first and what to do next.

Is glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, saw through her thoughts, and then adjusted his body to face the wall: "Come and give me a massage."

"Yes...yes, Master."

As she spoke, she slowly walked over, squatted down, and began to massage Is.

Time flies, and several more days have passed.

Yi Si returned to his usual routine, training when it was time to train, enjoying himself when it was time to enjoy himself, and relaxing when it was time to relax.

However, he does spend some time these days training his Devil Fruit abilities.

Then most of the time was spent cultivating physical fitness.

As for the Rocks Pirates, they were extremely busy, either on their way to attack member states or in the midst of an attack.

One attack after another wasn't enough; they even launched attacks in separate squads.

However, the Navy intensified its efforts, and things calmed down yesterday. But whether Rocks gave up the idea or not, only he himself probably knows.

Today, Is's schedule was a bit special because the number of excavations was about to be refreshed. With 10 minutes left, he kept staring at his attribute panel.

When the countdown reached zero, Is didn't hesitate at all and immediately began the process.

"Activate location services!"

"Ding, it's already activated."

As usual, after the system finished speaking, a virtual map location panel popped up in front of Is.

Is carefully examined the area. The distance was similar to the last time, but the only difference was...

Last time, the location was in the first half of the Grand Line, but this time it is in the New World, the second half of the Grand Line.

When the news of the upcoming trip reached Tornado's ears, she was overjoyed, practically jumping for joy as she immediately started packing.

Meanwhile, Is was responsible for contacting the World Government to have them prepare ships and be ready to go at any time.

····

"What? That kid Isaiah is going on another trip? And not only that, but he's going to the latter half of the Grand Line, the New World???"

Upon learning that Is was going on a trip, the bald old man, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately stood up and confirmed with the old man who was answering the Den Den Mushi.

“That’s the correct report!” the old man replied.

"Seriously, can't that kid Is just quiet for a while? He's always causing us trouble." The old man with the knife sighed after saying that.

"The New World, the second half of the Grand Line, is countless times more dangerous than the first half. There are countless vicious pirates there. It's too dangerous for Is to go there..." another old man added.

"Yes, but there's nothing we can do if he wants to go. All we can do for him is arrange for more skilled naval personnel to escort him. We can't let it be like last time."

The bald old man recalled the terrifying experience he had with Is, realizing that his chosen successor had almost been lost.

"Hey, stop talking. Ever since we started talking to that kid Is, he's been making us jump around all the time. Can't he just stay put in Mary Geoise?"

"If he were honest, things would probably be a different story, and it's questionable whether we would even be interested in him. On the contrary, he's fine the way he is now."

"You guys, stop nagging and hurry up and arrange someone for him."

About half an hour later.

Navy Headquarters.

"No, Fleet Admiral, I have a mission to take. Find someone else. There are many, many better than me in the Navy. Besides, isn't the mission to protect those trash—oh, no, the sacred Celestial Dragons—usually only Navy Admirals are qualified to do?" Garp said with a dry laugh.

"call."

The Fleet Admiral sighed, then explained, "Those pirates in the New World have kept us incredibly busy lately. All the Admirals are out on missions, and among the Vice Admirals at Marine Headquarters, only you and I can truly trust them. I'm sorry to trouble you, Garp!!!"

The Fleet Admiral has a good relationship with Garp, Kong, and Sengoku; otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a gentle conversation. Instead, he would have given orders directly, without caring whether Garp agreed or not.

"I do have an urgent mission at hand, Marshal," Garp said with a wry smile.

"These are minor issues. I'll assign someone else to handle them. Besides, the Celestial Dragons escorting us this time are different from those who only know how to eat, drink, and have fun. That guy is a key figure being groomed by the Five Elders, so his character is naturally excellent."

Garp was slightly taken aback by the words of the Fleet Admiral.

"Is the Celestial Dragon traveling with Bernard Is?"

"Yes, that's him."

"Okay, I'll make the trip."

Upon learning that Is was the one escorting them, Garp immediately nodded in agreement.

The Fleet Admiral was stunned. He had prepared a whole bunch of things to say when he called Garp over, but before he could even use them, Garp had already nodded.

Please customize the content. This is the second update since the book went live. Tomorrow, I'll probably guarantee at least seven updates. I hope everyone will support me; after all, subscriptions determine the fate of this book. Thank you, dear readers.

Chapter 63

"You...aren't you going to say anything?" The Fleet Admiral stared directly at Garp.

"what?"

Garp stared blankly at the Fleet Admiral, asking in bewilderment, "Is there anything else I should say?"

"Do not."

The admiral immediately shook his head, then smiled and said, "No need to say anything, Garp. I wish you a safe voyage in advance."

Garp smiled and waved, then turned and walked away, leaving behind a sentence.

"Let's go! It's not good to keep others waiting too long."
