Somewhere in the calm belt of the Grand Line.
Nami and Kuina, with the Pluton warship completely covered in flame clouds, had already arrived near the volcanic island where Ryuen was, guided by the Life Card.
But they didn't get close to the volcanic island.
When they first arrived, their keen intuition told them that this place was unusual.
And sure enough.
After careful observation, they were shocked to find that an abnormally strong and incredibly hot wave of heat radiated from the volcanic island as its center, like a surging tide, spreading wildly in all directions from time to time!
At this moment, even though they were dozens of kilometers away from the volcanic island, the scorching sensation that seemed to burn the skin was still clearly felt, making them feel afraid.
Since they hadn't seen Ryuen, Kuina hadn't lowered the Pluton warship.
Now the Pluton warship was still suspended high in the sky, wrapped in flame clouds.
Nami and Kuina looked at each other.
"Ryuen's fire has become even more powerful. After he finishes absorbing the Mother Flame, I really can't imagine who can withstand his fire anymore." Nami's pretty face still had a look of shock.
"I didn't expect the Mother Flame that Vegapunk researched to be so powerful!
Judging from the power Ryuen is emitting now, it's even stronger than when he absorbed the energy of the entire volcano in the East Blue!
It deserves to be a powerful energy source that can drive ancient weapons!" Kuina said in a deep voice, looking in the direction of the volcano.
"I don't know when he will finish absorbing it. We can't take this Pluton warship back up there. Although we don't know if there are any other spy groups in the sky island, we still need to avoid revealing that Pluton is in our hands." Nami said, troubled.
Just then, a fiery red hawk with a wingspan of nearly half a meter flew from the volcanic island towards Nami and Kuina.
Nami and Kuina looked at each other understandingly.
Then, they saw the red hawk start to peck words on the tree trunk next to them, and they immediately looked at the words the red hawk pecked out.
"Three days?"
"What does it mean? Does it mean that Ryuen needs three more days to absorb all the energy of the Mother Flame?" Kuina asked, puzzled.
On the tree trunk, the red hawk only pecked out the words "three days" and then flew back towards the volcanic island.
It didn't seem afraid of that heat!
"That should be it. This red hawk should have been sent by Ryuen. It seems that Ryuen needs three more days. Kuina, can you hold on for three days? Should we put down the Pluton?" Nami was now sure that Ryuen needed three more days.
But at this moment, Kuina was still carrying the huge and heavy Pluton warship in the sky with flame clouds. For Kuina, maintaining a large number of flame clouds also required a lot of energy.
"It's not a big problem. Simply maintaining the current flame clouds won't cost me much energy, so let's just wait for Ryuen to come out here." Kuina now looked calm.
It could be seen that even if she had to keep the flame clouds covering the Pluton in the sky, she didn't feel much strained.
Nami nodded.
Then the two began to move away from the volcanic island again, until they found an island and could no longer feel the scorching sensation from the volcanic island from time to time, before stopping to set up camp.

At this time, on the volcanic island.
Before they knew it, Ryuen had turned into his full beast form, a huge fire phoenix coiled around the volcano, covering the entire crater.
Each breath of Ryuen's brought a rise to the flames on his body, and each time the flames on his body rose, a wave of heat would spill out in all directions.
At this time, the Mother Flame was located under Ryuen, seemingly fused with Ryuen's fire phoenix body.
The energy of the entire volcano also poured up from the seabed, continuously, and automatically drilled into Ryuen's fire phoenix body.
Ryuen focused on absorbing the remaining Mother Flame energy.
Around the volcano, there was also a group of flame birds greedily absorbing the flame energy released by Ryuen.
At this moment, Ryuen felt very comfortable. In his full beast form, his body had become elementalized. He could feel that the flame energy in the Mother Flame had completely merged with his original flame energy.
Thanks to the continuous supply of flame energy from this giant volcano, his speed of absorbing the Mother Flame accelerated a lot.
Now his flames had slowly changed from fiery red to platinum, and the temperature of this flame was even more terrifying.
If Ryuen hadn't been controlling the flames, the entire volcanic island might have turned into hot lava due to the terrifying temperature of Ryuen's flames!
He was now very sure that just a beam of his current flame the size of an ordinary person could trigger a nuclear explosion with the power of 20 million tons of TNT!
Now he could be sure that he could really make nuclear bombs by hand in the future.
And it would be a 'nuclear explosion' that didn't contain radiation!
And his flame could definitely be used as the starting energy of the ancient weapon Uranus.
When Nami and Kuina had just arrived in this sea area, the birds in this sea area had already told Ryuen.
He didn't expect that these two women would go to Wano Kuni and take out Pluton, and bring it to him.
Although he was very curious about how they took Pluton out of Wano Kuni, he was now at a critical moment of absorbing the Mother Flame.
So he could only tell the flame bird to go out with the information to sense the two women.
He was now suddenly looking forward to it. If the starting energy used by the Pluton warship was the same as Uranus, then their Dream Exploration Group would really be able to completely master one ancient weapon in the future!
He was very much looking forward to this!
Bombing Mary Geoise, or using ancient weapons. At that time, he believed that Imu would definitely like the surprise he had prepared for her.
Thinking of this, he accelerated the speed of absorbing the Mother Flame again.
————
Time passed, and two more days passed by in a hurry.
The camera slowly turned and finally focused on the vast South Sea.
Here, there was a kingdom called Sorbet, and this kingdom belonged to Kuma's territory.
On this seemingly ordinary day, Kuma received a special notice from the Dream Exploration Group.
The Dream Exploration Group told Kuma that he could now take Bonney to Egghead Island.
It should be known that Bonney was not an ordinary person. She was the person with the highest authority among all the Pacifistas.
In the coming fierce conflict, especially when Mary Geoise became the battlefield, the role she played would be crucial.
Bonney and Kuma were both grateful to the Dream Exploration Group, especially Kuma. When he learned that the Revolutionary Army was also involved in this operation, he was even happier.
So the father and daughter immediately flew excitedly towards Egghead Island.
