Chapter 235: A Huge Sum of Money
"Father, how about we go meet this Dragon Flame Pirate Crew? See what makes them so special."
Marco half-squinted his eyes and spoke softly.
As the first division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, he was naturally very confident in his own strength. On these seas, aside from pirates on the same level as his father, there was no one he had ever truly feared.
Whitebeard's gaze swept over all his sons below. Seeing the eager anticipation on each of their faces, he didn't want to disappoint them.
"Gurarararara… then let's go take a look."
Whitebeard laughed.
Although he trusted the World Government and Marine assessment, he was equally confident in his own strength—confident that he could protect his sons, because he was… Whitebeard!
After that, the Moby Dick set sail toward Fish-Man Island.
...
During the period that followed, the Dragon Flame Pirates remained at the Sabaody Archipelago to rest and recuperate.
Aboard the Dragon Flame.
Jiang Qize opened his status interface.

"Soon…"
He narrowed his eyes.
His strength was close to reaching the peak of the admiral tier—only one step away.
Next, he opened Gene Cultivation.
"Since I've got plenty of money right now, I'll just mess around and try making a dinosaur."
Jiang Qize's eyes lit up as one hundred million Beli were deducted.
For the main dinosaur template, he chose the Fragile Double-Chambered Dragon, which was even larger in size than the Seismosaurus. It was also a massive sauropod dinosaur, with a body length of fifty to over sixty meters and a weight exceeding two hundred tons.
Yes—measured in tons, over two hundred tons.
He chose this as the template for no other reason than to see whether it could withstand more genes without collapsing.
Next, he dragged genes from the gene bank in one by one—regardless of whether they were similar types or not, he dragged them all in directly.
[Gene chain has reached its limit!]
A prompt suddenly appeared.
He had added two hundred types of genes, some of which were from the same categories.
"That's about enough."
The corners of Jiang Qize's mouth lifted slightly.
He then selected Cultivate.
Buzz buzz…
"Moo—!"
A painful roar came from the Fragile Double-Chambered Dragon, a wail originating from the depths of its genes.
"One hour, huh… then I'll wait."
Jiang Qize closed his eyes and rested.
By the time he opened them again, an hour had already passed.
Inside the gene cultivation chamber, a 3D holographic image of a monstrous dragon slowly rotated.
At this moment, the dinosaur no longer bore any resemblance to a Fragile Double-Chambered Dragon.
First were its limbs. They had become longer and far more robust, with sharp, coldly gleaming bone spikes growing from the joints. Its feet had turned into clawed talons, long hooked claws gripping the ground.
As for its body, layers of turtle-shell-like armored plates had appeared, wrapping around its entire form. From the gaps between these plates, sharp spikes protruded, and it had also grown a pair of not-very-large wings.
The originally long neck had shortened, now draped with a layer of steel-needle-like bristles. Its elongated head was extremely ferocious—resembling a crocodile—with a row of razor-sharp fangs, and three massive horns growing from its head.
It had nine eyes, all of them compound eyes, each containing countless tiny pupils.
Information about this new monster dragon appeared before him.
