Jack was both pleasantly surprised and extremely happy! On one hand, it was a reward coming directly from Kaido-Big Brother. On the other hand, he genuinely loved the fire dragon standing before them.
As one of the Four Calamities of the Beasts Pirates, Jack was keenly aware of his own shortcomings. Although his ridiculously thick skin made him fearless in front of any opponent, the inconvenience of his slow movement sometimes frustrated him. In most pirate crews, this wouldn't be an issue, but in the Beasts Pirates, it was different. His superiors—Kaido-Big Brother and King—could both fly, and the newly joined Eneru was a Rumble-Rumble Fruit user who could also soar. Only Jack still had to rely honestly on a pirate ship to travel from Wano Country to other places. Now, with this fire dragon, everything changed! This meant Kaido-Big Brother might take him along more often when conducting important business in the future. Moreover, having such a cool fire dragon as a mount would certainly look impressive.
"Thank you, Big Brother," Jack said. "Don't worry, I will take good care of it."
"Mm," Kaido nodded. After some thought, he added, "Looking at it this way, Wano Country is indeed a bit small. Jack, your next task is to find a suitable Ancient Island in the waters near Wano Country to serve as a habitat for these 'Flyers.'"
"Yes, Big Brother!" Jack confirmed.
"Queen, try to create as many of these Flyers as possible," Kaido instructed. "Just one won't satisfy the Beasts Pirates."
Queen laughed happily. "Don't worry, Big Brother. With this mature experience, the next one will be produced much faster!!!"
"Hmm, then take us to the next achievement!" Kaido ordered.
This time, Queen led everyone to the back of Onigashima, where the turbulent waters surrounding Wano Country stretched out before them. Everyone stood at the edge of the coast, puzzled as to what riddle Queen was playing now.
Queen spoke proudly. "Big Brother, King, guess what I'm going to show you next?"
Everyone exchanged glances, but Kaido seemed to have figured it out. "You didn't actually create the Sea Beast Weapons I mentioned, did you?" When Kaido had spoken with Queen previously, he had mentioned certain biological weapons that appeared in the future plot, hoping to give Queen some viable inspiration. After all, those were concepts that were proven to exist in this world, making them much more reliable than the sudden ideas Kaido sometimes came up with.
"Hahahaha, as expected of Big Brother!" Queen cheered.
As soon as he finished speaking, Queen clapped his hands, and the calm water surface began to stir. A creature as huge as a mountain—a Sea King with a cow-like head and a fish tail—emerged before them. However, it was clear this Sea King had been heavily modified. Its belly, head, and eyes all had visible metal devices, giving it the appearance of a cyborg. On the Sea King's back, there was a box-like apparatus that resembled a backpack.
This sight astonished everyone once again. This further fueled Queen's vanity, and he happily began his introduction. "Big Brother, this is the Sea Beast Weapon I created: Sea Beast No. 1. I performed biological modifications on the body of this Sea King, turning it into a cyborg that completely obeys our commands. I also have to thank you, Big Brother, for bringing Wapol. His ability is truly amazing. The Munch-Munch Metal he created is incredible; it doesn't cause any rejection reactions with biological tissues and can even grow along with them! As for the box behind him, that's the cabin I designed, also made of Munch-Munch Metal. Even at a depth of 10,000 meters underwater, it won't deform at all. However, because the current production of Munch-Munch Metal is limited, I couldn't make the cabin too large. This one can accommodate a maximum of fifty people."
"That's enough, Queen, you've completely surprised me!" Kaido exclaimed. In the world of the Pirate King, these Sea Beast Weapons wouldn't be used for conventional naval combat, but for highly specialized missions. With this weapon, the Beasts Pirates could become even more elusive across the vast sea.
Kaido's praise deeply satisfied Queen. "No, no, no, I'm not the amazing one. It's you, Big Brother. If it weren't for the Pluton Design you gave me, I wouldn't have been able to achieve any of this. The technology inside that blueprint is truly incredible."
"Queen, it looks like you've picked up Caesar's bad habits; you've even learned how to flatter," Kaido teased.
"No!" Queen suddenly said with complete seriousness. "This isn't flattery, Big Brother. I'm serious. The more I study the technology contained in the Pluton Design, the more I realize my own insignificance. I can't imagine what kind of genius the person who designed the Pluton Design was. Perhaps not even Vegapunk can compare to that genius. This kind of technology simply doesn't seem like it should exist in this world."
Hearing Queen's sincere words, Kaido, King, and Eneru exchanged knowing looks. This confused Jack, who was standing by, until Kaido finally spoke. "Queen, you're right. That truly isn't something that should appear in our world."
"???"
Seeing the puzzled looks on Queen and Jack's faces, Kaido simply said, "Let Eneru explain it to you."
Only then did everyone turn their attention to the man they were still somewhat unfamiliar with. Eneru didn't hesitate to share everything he knew.
"I was born on a Sky Island called Birka. On that island, there is a legend called: Infinite Land," Eneru began.
"Infinite Land!?" Queen asked.
"That's right. The legend records that on a planet above us, there exists a world called Bilka. Unlike our world, it's a world not submerged by the sea. In that world, all the land is connected, so it's called Infinite Land." Everyone listened quietly as Eneru narrated his story. "But one day, a disaster suddenly befell that world. The specifics are unclear, but through the murals in the Birka temple, I roughly deduced that they seemed to have encountered an energy problem."
"Energy!?" Queen was sensitive to this topic. He immediately thought of the Pluton Design and looked at Kaido.
Kaido simply instructed, "Keep listening!"
"Yes. Because of the energy problem, the people living in Bilka chose to descend to our world. And according to the appearance of those extraterrestrial visitors depicted in the murals..." At this point, Eneru looked directly at King. "Their appearance and King's white-winged form are almost identical..."
"What!!!"
At this revelation, Queen and Jack were completely stunned. They both stared at King in disbelief.
"So that's it," Queen murmured suddenly. "So, the Lunarians, who are called gods in legends, are actually extraterrestrial visitors? Did they bring all these incredible technologies to our world? No wonder, no wonder..."
Queen's sudden, profound statement surprised everyone, especially King. "No wonder what?"
Queen thought for a moment, organized his words, and then looked up at Kaido and King, saying, "Actually, when I was creating the green blood, I already had a feeling: perhaps the Lunarian's Lineage Factor hides the secret of how people in our world become powerful..."
