22. The Blue Flames with a temperature of 600℃.

│3rd Person POV│

[Grand Line, New World, Moby Dick, on the way to G5 Marine Base…]

Hearing this, Jozu, Vista, and the other Division Commanders were also stunned.

They were still in awe of Ron unlocking the Beast form, so they didn't pay attention to the temperature of his flames.

But now that Marco mentioned it, they could tell that the temperature of Ron's Blue Flames was much higher than it should be.

Although the Phoenix Fruit was a top-level Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit, its main power was focused on its healing aspect.

With a maximum temperature of 200℃ of the Blue Flames, how strong its offensive power could be?

But now?

The temperature of the Blue Flames of the Phoenix Fruit that Ron copied suddenly increased several times, greatly improving its shortcomings of insufficient attack power.

When they thought of this, Vista and others also looked puzzled.

"How did this happen?"

"If Blue Flames could be improved, why Marco couldn't do it, but Ron can?"

"…"

"It's my Mera-mera Fruit!"

At this time, Ace on the side came back to his senses and said thoughtfully, "Ron just told me that he wanted to use the power of my Flare-Flare Fruit to increase the temperature of Blue Flames."

"Because of this, I injected the flames of Flare-Flare Fruit into him. It didn't go well at the beginning. My flames were too violent for Ron to assimilate and the situation was about to go terribly wrong.

"I was about to throw Ron into the sea to extinguish the flames before fishing him out.

"Unexpectedly, he not only unlocked the Beast form but also completed his original goal of increasing the temperature of Blue Flames."

"What!? That's absurd!"

Hearing this, Marco was dumbfounded, glanced at Ron in disbelief, and then looked at Ace with piercing eyes.

After all, Ron's successful case was happening right in front of him, does that mean that he could also use the power of Flare-Flare Fruit to improve his own strength?

Marco's breathing quickened slightly when he thought of this.

He was the second strongest person on the crew, and there was no doubt that he could hold on to his own against other Yonko Commanders and even face the Marine Admirals without suffering a significant loss.

But Marco still had a weak point, and that was his Devil Fruit's insufficient attack power.

He lacked the capability to truly harm his opponents to the point of rendering them unable to fight.

Although he was skilled in using Color of Observation and Color of Armament, they were only at the Intermediate level.

Marco was more dependent on the various abilities of his Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

However, even though The Phoenix Fruit had good abilities in all aspects, its destructive power was lacking.

But if Blue Flames' temperature could be increased by such a significant margin, the benefits would be extremely huge.

"Woo-hooo~!"

At this time, Ron's joyful shout sounded in the air.

It could be seen that the flames from all over his body converged at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he exited the Beast Form in just a few seconds.

His figure landed on the deck from the sky and said with excitement, "Success!"

"With the Beast Form unlocked, all my attributes will increase by five times while using it. Blue Flames' temperature has even increased by three times after absorbing the Flare-Flare Fruit's power.

"While 600℃ cannot be compared with the maximum temperature of 800℃ of Flare-Flare Fruit, at least my Blue Flames destructive power and scope has greatly improved."

At this moment, the joy on Ron's face could not be suppressed.

He was already itching to take the next step right away.

Since the power of the Flare-Flare Fruit can be assimilated to increase the temperature of the Blue Flame when unlocking the Beast Form, will he be able to increase it again when doing something similar while unlocking the Human-Beast Form in the future?

Thinking of this, Ron decided that Flare-Flare Fruit was no longer enough, he wanted to try to assimilate the temperature of Heat-Heat Fruit and Hot-Hot Fruit

If their temperatures could be assimilated, the destructive power of his own Blue Flame would reach such a terrifying level that he even shuddered to think about it.

By then, the Fruit Phoenix would be an all-round Devil Fruit that could attack, defend, assist, and heal.

Excellent in all aspects, it would truly become the top-tier Mythical Zoan-Type Devil Fruit.

"Ron! Ron!"

At this time, Marco hurriedly walked forward and asked, "How is it? How much has the temperature of your flame increased?

"Can Blue Flames really absorb Flare-Flare Fruit's flames to raise its maximum temperature?"

As soon as these words came out, Thatch, Vista, and others also looked directly at Ron with eager expressions.

They also all know that if such a thing was true, it would be a huge improvement for Marco, and this would result in the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates being greatly enhanced.

After all, Marco was the second strongest combatant of the Whitebeard Pirates.

If he could increase the temperature of his Blue Flames, then Marco's strength would undoubtedly become even more formidable.

"It is true!"

Nodding, Ron replied in the affirmative.

He glanced at Marco, who was looking at him with intense hunger in his eyes and said, "But I don't know if Commander Marco can accomplish it.

"The power of the Flare-Flare Fruit itself suppressed that of the power of Blue Flames in the beginning. It was the process of unlocking the Beast Form of the Phoenix Fruit that changed everything.

"When I was transforming into Beast Form, the increase in regenerative power of the phoenix prevented the power of Flare-Flare Fruit from burning me.

"This provided the opportunity for my Blue Flames to begin absorbing the flames of the Flare-Flare Fruit.

"This caused the temperature of the blue flames to triple when I completely transformed into the Beast Form, reaching 600℃.

"Since you have already unlocked the Beast Form and the Human-Beast Form and could use them at will, I don't know if your Blue Flames could absorb Flare-Flare Fruit's power during the transformation!"

Hearing this, Marco frowned.

According to Ron's story, this matter was not simple, and the dangers involved are not insignificant.

"Marco, let's try this after this current matter is over."

At this time, Thatch stepped forward and advised.

"Yeah! You should try it later!"

"We will soon reach the G5 base. If you are injured now, the consequences could be disastrous.

...

Vista, Jozu, and others also spoke one after another.

Marco, who was deeply thinking at the moment, desperately wanted to try to increase the temperature of Blue Flames.

However, the chances of success were not a hundred percent.

"I understand."

Nodding, Marco calmed down and said, "I will not take risks at this time. I'll try it with Ace's help when we get back to base camp."

Having said this, Marco seemed to have thought of something and looked at Ron with piercing eyes, "Ron, release your blue flame and let me see it.

"The Blue Flames at 600℃, I really want to see it!"

"Alright!"

Agreeing without any hesitation, Ron extended his right hand.

In an instant, dark blue flames appeared above his right hand.

This was the Blue Flames after the upgrade.

Different from before, the flame at this moment was a much darker shade of blue.

"So strong! It's not as good as Ace's Flare-Flare Fruit's power, but he is a Logia user. The temperature of your Blue Flames has increased so much, it's really enviable."

For a moment, Marco's eyes were eager. Full of desire and yearning to have these Blue Flames in his possession.

Woooooo—

Suddenly, there was a buzzing sound.

Following the sound, it could be seen that a huge pirate ship appeared in the sea not far away, and it was heading towards Moby Dick at an extremely fast speed, and it seemed that it was heading straight for a collision.
