The sudden powerful aura left the four girls in shock, their jaws nearly dropping.
However, when they sensed that familiar feeling they hadn't felt in a while, excitent flooded over them!
"It's Ryuen! He's completed his rebirth!" Nami exclaid, her face flushed with excitent. As the closest person to Ryuen, she spoke with great certainty.
"He's finally co out; that's amazing!" Nojiko said, feeling relieved.
"So strong! Ryuen's presence is way more powerful than before!" Kuina felt the intensity and looked at him with admiration.
"Aweso, Ryuen!" Daisy cheered excitedly.
~~~~~~~
Half an hour earlier, on so nearby islands not far from the volcanic island, all the birds suddenly took flight as if summoned, heading toward the volcanic island.
They gathered above the island, chirping in unison as if welcoming their soon-to-be-born king!
In the volcano, the lava was nearly extinguished. Beneath the calm surface, an astonishing change was quietly occurring—Ryuen's body was completely enveloped in magma, forming a huge cocoon.
His energy had beco increasingly intense and fiery, as if it could lt the entire world.
At that mont, Ryuen was imrsed in a wonderful state.
He felt the power of fire within him growing stronger and resonating with the environnt around him.
He knew this was the critical mont for him to break through his limits. If he succeeded in overcoming this barrier, he would gain unprecedented strength and abilities.
Just then, the light surrounding Ryuen beca dazzling, making it hard to look at.
The cocoon ford by the magma slowly lted away under the scorching flas, turning to ash. Suddenly, a brilliant light burst through the darkness, and Ryuen soared into the sky, accompanied by a clear phoenix cry, rising into the clouds.
In that instant, his figure shone like the sun, illuminating the entire sky; it was as if two suns hung in the sky over the volcanic island!
Ryuen's eyes sparkled with determination and joy. Only he knew what he had been through over the past six months. After absorbing enough fire energy, he had endured the pain of rebirth every single day.
Fortunately, he had endured it all, experiencing and overcoming the trials of rebirth, and now he had finally been reborn!
Having just completed his rebirth and feeling spirited, he let out a phoenix cry, unleashing an overwhelming aura of the king of birds that spread in all directions.
The flock of birds surrounding him sensed this powerful energy and showed signs of submission.
In mid-air, Ryuen slowly transford from his full beast form to a hybrid form.
His lower body changed back to human shape, though traces of the phoenix remained on his head, and wings had grown on his back.
"This feeling is incredible!" Ryuen reveled in the power within him.
Looking around, he sensed the emotions of the birds as if he could command all of them!
"Co~~~" Ryuen called to a massive black eagle with a wingspan of over thirty ters.
The eagle let out an excited cry and flew eagerly to Ryuen's feet. Ryuen shifted back to human form and gently landed on the eagle's back.
"Let's go~" Ryuen whispered.
The giant eagle understood Ryuen's aning and happily flew off in the direction of the naless island with him.
Not only that, but all the birds circling the volcanic island followed closely behind.
A few minutes later, at the naless island.
"What... what's going on?" Daisy exclaid as she saw the massive flock of birds blocking out the sun, nearly losing her ability to speak.
"Why are there so many birds? So of them are as big as the Beast King!" Nojiko was confused about how such a huge flock had suddenly appeared.
"It's Ryuen!"
"Look! It's Ryuen! He's back!" Nami jumped up excitedly.
"It really is him..." Kuina stared in disbelief at the scene in the sky.
Under the watchful eyes of the girls, a giant black eagle slowly descended until it landed next to their camp.
"Ahem—, I've returned after my rebirth!" Ryuen said, clearing his throat as he felt the girls' eager and admiring gazes.
"Ryuen! I missed you so much!" Nami rushed over and hung on Ryuen.
"We all missed you, Ryuen!"
"Why have you grown so much..."
"Ahhh, I won't accept this! I'm still the biggest!"
The other three girls also rushed over, surrounding Ryuen and chattering non-stop, but Ryuen could tell that they were genuinely excited and happy!
"Hehe, it's been more than half a year since I last saw you, and you've all grown quite a bit, but I'm still the tallest!" Ryuen said happily.
After his rebirth, he had grown to 1.7 ters, taller than the girls by a head! They were all around 1.5 ters, with Daisy being the shortest at just under 1.5 ters.
"Hmph! We'll grow too!" Daisy said stubbornly.
"Exactly!"
"By the way, Ryuen, what's with the flock of birds in the sky? Why are they following you?" Kuina asked curiously.
"Um... this is my new ability. I can now summon and command all birds. Pretty cool, right?" Ryuen said proudly.
His Devil Fruit was the Bird-Bird Fruit, and all birds would submit to him and follow his commands!
"Cool! So that black eagle over there listens to you too?" Daisy asked excitedly.
"Yep, I plan to bring it back. It'll be one of our companions from now on!" Ryuen said honestly.
"That's great! So will it listen to us too?" Nami asked, getting off Ryuen, her eyes shining with excitent.
The other three girls looked eager as well. This was a flying beast king after all, even though Ryuen had taken them flying before.
But this felt different!
"Of course, Little Black!" Ryuen assured her, then waved for the black eagle to co over.
"Everyone else, head back!" Ryuen shouted to the sky.
Imdiately, the birds in the air obeyed Ryuen's command and flew back to their respective islands.
The black eagle hopped over to Ryuen with a funny gait and even wore a happy expression, showing it had so intelligence!
"Little Black, you need to listen to them from now on, okay?" Ryuen said, pointing at Nami and the other girls.
"Caw!" The black eagle nodded, indicating it understood!
"Great! Little Black, co here! I've got so sea king at for you!" Nami said excitedly as she pulled out several pieces of sea king at from her pocket dinsion and tossed them to the black eagle.
The eagle was thrilled; it had never tasted sea king at before!
After finishing the at, it lowered its head and gently nudged Nami.
"Giggle, giggle~" Nami laughed as it rubbed against her.
"So cute!"
"I want to pet it too!"
The girls happily stepped forward to stroke the black eagle, and the experience felt fresh and exciting.
