Chapter 163: Heading to the Mokomo Dukedom
With the sudden appearance of wings behind Lotte.
Everyone present was momentarily stunned into silence.
After all, Lotte had already displayed his terrifying Great Swordsman-level swordsmanship in Wano.
And his ability to accelerate healing of injuries.
But now he had even sprouted wings—this was simply too comprehensive!
Though they had heard of.
Devil Fruits that granted wings on the back, those were extremely rare Zoan types. How exactly had Lotte achieved this?!
This question floated through everyone's minds.
Even Toki had her mouth wide open.
After learning Lotte's identity, she had researched quite a bit of information.
Logically, his Devil Fruit ability should be one that created and controlled plants. So why was he showing such a variety of changes now?
Only Olvia beneath her mask was merely slightly surprised.
After all, she had already obtained one of the Imperial Arms ten years ago.
The astonishing transformation ability of Gaia Foundation still filled Olvia with admiration even now.
Though it carried the risk of being detected by Observation Haki when not fully mastered.
And it also required considerable practice.
But once perfectly mastered and combined with the enhancement of three types of Haki, Olvia was confident she could crush an elite Vice Admiral in direct combat.
And not just that.
In assassination situations.
Olvia's strength would increase even more dramatically.
She estimated that even against candidate Admirals, if she struck unexpectedly, her success rate would be extremely high.
Of course, all of this required sufficient intelligence.
So Olvia wasn't surprised that Lotte possessed something similar to Gaia Foundation.
After all, this was her man—having such abilities was only normal!
Recalling the recent events.
A blush appeared on Olvia's cheeks.
"Ahem, no need to dwell on the details. Anyway, I'll just fly you all up there. No need to worry."
Lotte cleared his throat and spoke.
With a flap of the wings on his back, he easily grabbed the fast boat and flew straight toward the top of the massive elephant.
As time passed.
Lotte, flapping the Ten Thousand Miles Flight wings, carried everyone closer to the island.
While flying with the group in tow.
Lotte also glanced at his system panel.
[Name: Lotte]

[Special Note: Finally remembered me!]
Lotte glanced at the special note.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, feeling a bit helpless.
After all, he hadn't forgotten to check the panel on purpose lately.
He'd just been busy and overlooked it. He never expected that when he finally opened it, his evaluation would be worlds apart from last time.
The current Lotte could now face off against the overlords of the sea head-on.
The mastery of Hashirama Cells had gradually recovered—this was also good news for Lotte, meaning he was finally shaking off the lingering effects Imu had left behind.
Next, he just needed steady improvement.
Find the right moment to evolve his Three Tomoe Sharingan into the Mangekyō Sharingan.
That way, he might find a method to confront Imu directly!
Thinking of this, Lotte let out a relieved breath in his heart.
This period had also been a rare rest for him—otherwise, he would have already caused major incidents across the entire New World.
Just wait, Imu!
Once I find a way to crush you head-on!
I'll storm straight into Mary Geoise and drag you out for a beating!
Lotte's heart became even more resolute.
Looking around.
Lush green forests came into view.
After setting the fast boat down, Lotte glanced at Inuarashi and Nekomamushi nearby and spoke calmly.
"Lead the way."
"If my senses are correct, there should be a Poneglyph on this island."
Nekomamushi and Inuarashi naturally didn't dare delay.
After all, they had personally witnessed Lotte's abilities earlier.
Moreover, their lord Kozuki Oden was here too.
There was no need to worry about trouble.
Just as Nekomamushi and Inuarashi were leading the group forward.
Before they could reach the Mokomo Dukedom.
A long-haired lion Mink youth suddenly jumped out.
His face full of wariness as he stared at Nekomamushi, Inuarashi, and the group behind them.
"Who are these people?!"
"Nekomamushi and Inuarashi—you two actually left Zou without permission and brought strangers back to the island? Do you know the consequences of doing this?!"
"Have you betrayed the Mink Tribe?!"
The lion Mink youth spoke in a deep voice.
He clenched his fists tightly, staring warily at the group, but excitement flickered in his eyes, as if he might pounce at any second.
Nekomamushi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.
"Sicilian, what you're saying doesn't make sense. The ones I brought back are the prince of Wano's Kozuki clan."
"They've been allies with our Mink Tribe for generations!"
"If you don't believe me, go ask the Duke later—you'll understand!"
Lotte slightly raised an eyebrow.
He recognized this lion.
Sicilian.
The lion Mink who always charged forward with full enthusiasm in everything he did.
Later, he became the captain of the Daytime Whitebeard's strongest guard unit, the Musketeers—one of Duke Inuarashi's three musketeers.
Quite an interesting guy.
