Chapter 18: New Ability

"Crackling..."

The bonfire burned brightly, and beside it were scattered barbecued meats exuding an alluring aroma.

On this island, the most indispensable thing is high-quality meat ingredients.

"Are we leaving?"

After patting her flat belly in satisfaction, Carina wiped the grease from the corners of her mouth.

Then she looked to the side, where Ren was looking into the distance in a daze. Subconsciously, she followed his gaze and saw that it was the mountain that Ren violently crashed through after going berserk...

There are still some messy traces of destruction on it.

"Ren, what's wrong with you?" Carina came to Ren's side and asked curiously: "Didn't you crash through that mountain? Is there any problem?"

"No wonder I always feel a little strange. It turns out that it's like this..."

Ren's eyes lit up while muttering something, and then he stood up suddenly.

"Is there any problem?" Carina was confused.

"Actually, I didn't really crash through it, but walked directly inside it..."

Ren pointed at the mountain and said directly: "No wonder, since yesterday, I always feel that I can do many things!"

"At first, I thought it was an illusion caused by swallowing the pair of gilded horns, which caused a surge in my own power, so I didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until now that I understood."

After saying this, he burst out laughing.

"Eh?"

Carina was stunned, then she rolled her eyes at Ren and said angrily: "It's like guessing a riddle; don't be too secretive!"

"If I guessed it correctly, it seems that I merged with the mountain and passed through it magically!"

Ren's eyes flashed, and his face was filled with smiles.

Although the mountain is huge, his body size after transforming into Beast Form is not small.

Not to mention that after swallowing the gilded horns, his size increased dramatically again, no less than those giants.

In addition, when he went crazy earlier, he ran with all his strength.

With such a huge impact, it stands to reason that even if he fails to collapse this huge mountain on the spot, it is impossible to cause only a small amount of damage.

Nine times out of ten, it was in that situation that he accidentally used the unknown ability of his Devil Fruit.

"It is said that Qilin is the king of beasts and the emperor of the earth... so it is not surprising that it can control the power of the earth!"

After saying this, Ren's eyes sparkled.

He came directly to a mountain over a hundred meters high.

"Roar——" With a low roar, his body changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, under Carina's shocked and disbelieving eyes.

He slowly passed through the mountain with each step.

"What?"

This scene leaves Carina stunned and a little surprised: "Disappeared?"

"Rumble..."

The next moment, the entire mountain, which was hundreds of meters high, was shaking violently.

It was as if an unimaginable earthquake had occurred, and Carina almost fell to the ground.

"That is..."

Looking at the sudden changes in front of her, she couldn't help but open her mouth wide in shock and was unable to close it for a while.

"Rumble..."

The ground rumbled and shook violently.

For a time, sand and dust were flying, and rocks were rolling everywhere.

It seemed as if the whole island was shaking.

Countless birds and beasts were frightened and fled in groups.

The towering mountains all over the island seem to come to life, and they are all moving at a speed visible to the naked eye...

"Rumble..." They all moved closer to the mountain that Ren had melted into before.

A moment later, in Carina's disbelieving gaze.

A giant Qilin statue composed of a large number of mountains covers the sky and the sun.

Its height is no less than a few hundred meters high and is several kilometers long.

The huge limbs are like pillars supporting the sky...

It was indescribably shocking.

"Carina, how are you?"

Suddenly, the huge Qilin statue that has exaggerated momentum let out a thunderous voice: "Are you scared?"

It seems to be really alive.

The bloody mouth with sharp teeth kept opening and closing there.

"Brush..." A pair of extremely exaggerated pupils appeared directly after it opened its eyes.

Being looked at by this huge beast, Carina felt that her soul had been hit by an unprecedented shock, and she was a little speechless.

"Gulu!!"

Looking up at the astonishingly large and towering Qilin statue.

Carina, whose eyes were straight, couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Can you do this kind of thing?" She couldn't help but ask weakly.

What kind of monster did she encounter?

It's like being able to do anything.

"Roar--"

Then, under Carina's gaze, it let out a thunderous roar.

A menacing Qilin, about several feet tall, with fiery red scales all over its body, rushed out from the exaggeratedly huge Qilin statue in front of her.

It stepped on the auspicious clouds and flew directly in front of Carina while transforming into a human form at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Is this my newly discovered ability? The entire island's landscape was changed in a moment..."

Ren looked up at the Qilin statue standing there motionless.

It was as if the scene just now was an illusion.

Carina was amazed: "It's really amazing!"

"This itself is one of the special abilities attached to my Devil Fruit, and I just did not discover it since I just became a Devil Fruit user for a short time..."

Ren shook his head and said with a smile: "However, although I can already control the earth, I am still not skilled enough!"

He pointed at the Qilin statue above that covered the sky and the sun: "It's barely controllable, and it's too bulky..."

It was indeed quite intimidating, but in fact, at present, it's only at Pica's level, who's one of the top three officers of the Donquixote Pirates and the devil fruit user of the Stone-Stone Fruit.

Although it's huge, it moves sluggishly and attacks too slowly.

Dealing with the current Straw Hat Pirates is a one-sided massacre for it.

But it poses no threat to those truly strong and can easily be restrained, making it only a waste of energy.

Not to mention, his current Armament Haki is far from enough.

It is simply impossible to overlay his Armament Haki directly on it.

Compared with the future Demon Heir, Douglas Bullet, who can directly rely on the ability of the Clank-Clank Fruit to directly create a golem that is an island size while also covering it with his own Armament Haki, he's a lot worse.

But Ren believes that this is only temporary.

In the future, he will definitely be able to be like the other party.

Covering the Qilin statue with his Armament Haki and even surpassing him.

Moreover, it made him extremely satisfied.

The earth can be controlled by the Qilin fruit, although it is not like in myths and legends that can continuously replenish his physical strength.

But if he uses it skillfully.

Except that it cannot directly control the island to fly.

It is almost equivalent to a combination of Float-Float Fruit, Stone-Stone Fruit, and Isle-Isle Fruit.

In particular, he can create a large amount of hot magma with the terrifying high temperature.

Magma is different from seawater; it is also a part of the earth.

Nature is controlled by him, who is the King of the Earth".

And as long as he perseveres and works hard, he can continue to develop his own Devil Fruit abilities.

Ren believes that with this buggy Devil Fruit, it shouldn't be a problem to control those small and medium-sized islands directly in the future.

Although it is impossible to make the island fly as exaggeratedly as Float-Float Fruit does.

But maybe he can really make the island move directly.

"In human form, I can barely control the earth, unlike when controlling fire..."

Ren clenched his fists tightly.

After carefully feeling his devil fruit ability, he shrugged his shoulder: "However, although the range is limited, if the target of manipulation is smaller, it can actually be more flexible!"

"Like this!"

As he spoke, he tapped his foot lightly.

"Rumble..."

On dozens of meters away, the messy ground suddenly began to surge violently.

It seemed to have turned directly into a real mudslide, spinning and rolling there.

In an instant, a huge whirlpool that can be seen with the naked eye has been formed on the ground.

The next moment.

"Boom boom..."

The earth constantly moves, like it has its own life, and it soared directly into the sky.

"Wuhuhu——" The strong wind swept across the area while sand and rocks flew everywhere.

In the blink of an eye, a huge twisted vine made of earth came to life.

"..."

Seeing Ren doing all this easily, Carina was completely numb.

For a long time, she could not maintain her grace while commenting loudly.

"Pervert!!"
