A few hours later.
The Celestial Dragons who had fled to the Outer Seas had all been captured and brought back by Fang Huo, Shiki, and the others.
Meanwhile, the Celestial Dragons on Red Soil Island had also been subdued.
Ganzi and Maron had killed some Celestial Dragons but still failed to awaken Conqueror's Haki, prompting Rocks to directly stop them.
These precious Celestial Dragons were still useful to him; he absolutely couldn't let these two fellows continue wasting them.
Apart from using these Celestial Dragons to threaten the World Government and demand ransom... they could also be given to members of the Davy Clan to test if they could awaken Conqueror's Haki.
In the end, even Bolo Gram still failed to awaken Conqueror's Haki, which Newgate found extremely regrettable.
However, for this war to allow Silver Axe Fierce, Barbel, and Kiel Bastard to awaken Conqueror's Haki was already an immense surprise.
Furthermore, Whitebeard Newgate had even mastered Conqueror's Haki Infusion, which immensely satisfied Rocks.
A total of over sixty Celestial Dragons became Rocks's captives.
If Rocks hadn't considered these Celestial Dragons still useful, and if Ida hadn't been constantly stopping Loki... these Celestial Dragons might have all been wiped out.
The strings of Celestial Dragon corpse balloons floating in the sky utterly terrified the surviving Celestial Dragons, breaking their spirits to the point they didn't even dare to open their mouths to curse.
Fang Huo properly helped Redfield clean up the corpses on the island, harvesting a significant amount of blood power.
Charlotte Linlin also harvested a considerable amount of soul power from these Celestial Dragons and some Cipher Pol agents and Marines.
Redfield had already discussed the price for transporting Red Soil Island with Golden Lion Shiki.
Next came the most grand 'loot distribution' assembly!
Fang Huo brought out the six Devil Fruits that were prizes from the Celestial Dragons, along with treasure and Berries worth three hundred billion Berries.
One chest of treasure and Berries worth 10 billion Berries—there were a full thirty chests here.
And this was just the treasure designated as prizes.
Not to mention the personal wealth Ganzi and the Roger Pirates had plundered from various Celestial Dragons.
They had even found treasure worth hundreds of billions on the Celestial Dragons' warships.
"We're rich! We're rich!!"
Ganzi's eyes turned red, his nostrils flaring as he panted heavily. Gazing at the mountain of treasure and Berries, he completely forgot his sadness over failing to awaken Conqueror's Haki.
"This time, Captain Rocks, Newgate, and I killed one of the Gorosei and one of the Gods Knights."
"Shiki, Linlin, and Kisaburo also forced another Gods Knight to his death."
"So, these six Devil Fruits will be divided among the six of us. Any objections?"
Even before confirming what abilities these Devil Fruits possessed, Fang Huo had already decided on the allocation of the six fruits.
"I have no objections."
How would slackers like Ganzi and Maron dare to object? They were perfectly content just getting a share of the money.
They were more interested in knowing how many billions of Berries they would get, rather than a Devil Fruit.
"I don't care. I'm already a Devil Fruit user, and I've gotten what I needed most."
What Silver Axe Fierce most wanted was Conqueror's Haki, and now that he had successfully awakened it, he wasn't as concerned about Devil Fruits or treasure.
"We have no objections."
Barbel, Kiel Bastard, Sanbel, and other fans of Fang Huo unconditionally obeyed his arrangements.
As for Redfield and Bolo Gram, one a solitary figure and the other a slacker, they had even less to say.
As for the Giant Race and the Roger Pirates, they were temporarily ignored.
"wahaha! Since there are no objections! Let's take a good look at what these Devil Fruit abilities are."
Rocks was also somewhat interested, hoping to see if any good fruits would be revealed.
As Fang Huo opened the Devil Fruit treasure chests one by one, everyone began comparing them with the devil fruit encyclopedia.
"I found it. This is the Paramecia Type Arrow-Arrow Fruit."
"This cylindrical one is the Paramecia Type Cannon-Cannon Fruit!"
"That feather-shaped Devil Fruit seems to be the Bird-Bird Fruit, Ancient Zoan Type, Archaeopteryx Model."
"Is that one the Ancient Zoan Type Titan Ape Model?"
"This is actually the Mythical Zoan Type Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit! Fang Huo, I want this one!!"
One Cadre after another found the corresponding Devil Fruit, and Stussy even screamed out loud.
Because that Mythical Zoan Type Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit was one of the Devil Fruits Fang Huo had recommended to her.
"Is this the Age-Age Fruit?"
Fang Huo picked up a star-shaped yellow Devil Fruit, and his eyes instantly lit up.
This was a Paramecia Devil Fruit that could transform into the Sun God Nika form.
Fang Huo, who knew this as the Age-Age Fruit, was unaware of this Devil Fruit's true name.
"It's just an ability that can make people older or younger, and it's not even permanent."
Rocks wasn't very interested in this Age-Age Fruit ability; he knew that an excessive amount of Haki could easily break such Paramecia abilities.
After learning about the abilities of the six Devil Fruits, Rocks lost interest in all of them.
Even that Mythical Zoan Nine-Tailed Fox Model.
Since Stussy wanted this Devil Fruit anyway, he couldn't be bothered to fight over it.
The other Cadres who were already Devil Fruit users also stopped paying attention to these fruits.
However, a trace of envy appeared in the eyes of Maron and Bolo Gram.
"Fang Huo, I want fifty Celestial Dragons! As for the remaining Devil Fruits you've picked, put them into the Rocks Pirates' Reward Pool!"
Rocks had no interest in Devil Fruits but was very interested in the Celestial Dragon captives.
He was determined to take a batch of Celestial Dragons back to God Valley for his clansmen to experiment on.
"I have no objection!"
"Linlin, Kisaburo, and I will take the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit, the Age-Age Fruit, and the Arrow-Arrow Fruit!"
"I assume Shiki and Newgate have no objections?"
Fang Huo asked these two King Executives.
"It doesn't matter to me. They'll just be sold for money or given to subordinates anyway."
Golden Lion Shiki shrugged. He was already a Devil Fruit user, so he didn't place that much importance on Devil Fruits.
It was a good chance to do Fang Huo a favor.
He still wanted to ask Fang Huo where else in the world ancient robots existed.
He wanted to secure a life-saving contingency plan for himself as well.
"I have no objection!"
"I want that Ancient Zoan Archaeopteryx Fruit."
Hearing that Fang Huo hadn't chosen this flying-type Devil Fruit, Newgate secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He directly picked up this Devil Fruit and handed it to Bolo Gram.
"Here! Although it's not a Mythical Zoan, it's a flying-type, Ancient Zoan, which perfectly meets your requirements."
Newgate grinned. Since Gram hadn't awakened Conqueror's Haki this time, he would comfort his good friend with an Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit.
"Thanks..."
Bolo Gram gave Newgate a grateful look and didn't refuse.
Good brother. He would remember this kindness.
Maron looked at Gram with a bit of envy. He wished he had someone looking out for him too!
"Then I'll take this Ancient Zoan Titan Ape Fruit."
Looking at the last two Devil Fruits, Golden Lion Shiki directly chose the Ancient Zoan fruit with the higher cost-effectiveness.
Coincidentally, among his Flying Squad, there was an Cadre named Scaredo who looked like an ape and was perfectly suited for this Titan Ape Model.
And so, only the Paramecia Type Cannon-Cannon Fruit was left for Rocks. Following Rocks's instructions, it went into the Rocks Pirates' reward treasury.
Maron looked at that Paramecia Type Cannon-Cannon Fruit and felt it was perfectly suited for him, a Mafia boss who loved playing with guns and cannons.
He considered whether to exchange for this Devil Fruit.
After all, in the Rocks Pirates now, almost everyone was a Devil Fruit user, so no one would compete with him for it.
