Chapter 04: Page 4

"No, this is the best way to show your worth. My first captain's order is to fight her again, one on one this time."

He wanted to see where this ability was manifested. He was also a spectator in the battle just now, and fighting with the same opponent would allow him to better perceive changes.

"Ah?"

Quinn was confused by Kaido's request. At this moment, he had an illusion that he might have boarded the wrong ship.

He is in a complicated mood now, as he is not of the Lunalia bloodline and does not worship Arceus.

I don’t have Kaido’s big heart. I just feel excited when I see a person with special abilities appearing out of nowhere. The appearance of this ability is too magical.

It was so magical that it broke the common sense he had acquired in recent years.

The next few minutes could be said to be the darkest minutes in Quinn's life.

After obtaining the ability of Flame Chicken, Sha Yinna has become a completely different person. Her physical fitness has greatly improved, especially the strength of her legs has increased many times.

Flammulina's leg strength allows it to easily jump to a height of thirty stories. When this power is converted into a kick, even an animal-type ability user cannot withstand it, not to mention that the temperature of the flames attached to it is countless times higher than before.

After a few rounds, Quinn just lay down on the ground and simply chose to admit defeat.

Arceus on the side was full of disgust towards Kaido. The several-meter-tall burly man showed such a weird look that he felt goosebumps all over his body.

"Is this the ability you were talking about?"

"That's right. If you find the slate for me, I can grant similar abilities to the person you choose. By the way, the more slates I have, the stronger my abilities will be, and I can create stronger abilities."

As for whether there will be traitors, the ability was given by him, so he naturally has a way to take it back. It is completely impossible to use his ability against him.

"No problem. Where are those slabs? I can't wait any longer. Let's go find them now!"

"Tsk, if I knew where those stone tablets were, would I still need to make this deal with you? I just need more people to find out the information. I can sense the existence of the stone tablets within a certain distance.

By the way, do you have a devil fruit? I also want to try something else to see if I can transform ordinary animal-type abilities into mythical beast-type abilities, so that the abilities can be preserved for a long time, and you can slowly find the right person. "

He did not say that direct transformation was too laborious, but gave another reason. As for the reason why it was an animal-type fruit, it was because the animal-type fruit had its own particularity. Not only could it give abilities to inanimate objects, but it also had its own unique will.

If you want to transform other types of fruits, it would probably be more difficult than directly giving human beings abilities.

"No, that kind of thing is still very rare, but I have an idea to create a legion of animal-type ability users, so I can just slowly look for it."

As they were talking, a round black and purple fruit rolled to their feet.

Chapter 8: Experimenting with Fossilized Pterosaurs

It was an indescribable variety, some of which looked like dragon fruit and seemed to be covered with bat-wing-like branches and leaves. It stopped at Arceus' feet.

"This thing... is the devil fruit, right?"

The strange patterns made Arceus confused. This was the first time he had truly seen such a thing. Logically speaking, this was a devil fruit, but the way it appeared was incomprehensible to him.

Known as the secret treasure of the sea, it is estimated that according to future prices, its market value is at least over 100 million Baileys. Even in today's Baileys, it is an astronomical figure. If the ability of this fruit is known, it will only be more expensive based on its ability.

Kaido was still talking about something rare the previous second, and the next second one rolled over. The scene was so magical that he was a little unsure.

Next to the two of them, Quinn was looking at the fruit rolling over with a confused look on his face. He was a little unhappy after being completely crushed by Sha Yinna, but he had nothing to say, so he took out his anger on things on the roadside.

There happened to be a box of apples next to him. When he stepped on it, the ordinary wooden box could not hold on, and one of the apples that rolled out was this one.

Kaido bent down and picked up the fruit. He felt that he was still drunk. The way this fruit appeared was indeed a bit magical, but it didn’t matter. As for the devil fruit, there was no reason to refuse it once he picked it up.

As for why it wasn't Arceus who picked it up, he didn't even have hands now and couldn't use telekinesis, so he refused to pick it up with his mouth. According to his estimation, he would be able to solve this problem once he had a few more stone slabs.

If that doesn't work, he'll have to look for the human fruit along the way.

"Hehe, I'm really lucky. What I said came true. But I don't know what kind it is."

"I've seen the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia at the research institute, and this pattern... should be the Dragon Dragon Fruit - Ancient Species - Pteranodon Form."

Quinn recalled, then took out a rubbing from somewhere and compared it. Devil fruits will not have the same ability. Only when the previous generation of ability users dies will an identical fruit appear randomly in a corner of the world.

Many of the abilities that have appeared in the past have been recorded in the atlas. The things that MADS researched at the time also included devil fruits. The members of MADS come from all over the world, and there are many knowledgeable people. Naturally, there is such an atlas in the company. This is a rubbing drawn by Quinn.

"It's an ancient species, and it's the type that can fly. It's quite rare. Mmhahahaha, I kicked out a devil fruit. Okay, it's me."

No one knows exactly how many Devil Fruits there are, but the animal-type category does have the most subcategories. The mythical beast species that are said to be rarer than the natural-type species and the ancient species that are rare in the world are all hard-to-see types.

Among these fruits, those with the ability to fly are even rarer. Not all strong people can fly. Even if there are special skills like Six Styles - Moon Step, only a few people can fly.

The world is mostly covered by the ocean, and mastering the ability to fly almost means having an advantage in the field. On the sea, destroying the opponent's ship is enough to make many people with special abilities anxious.

Therefore, in naval battles, the main goal of some people with special abilities is to protect their own ships.

Just now Arceus said he needed a devil fruit, and then the devil fruit came. Kaido looked at Arceus beside him.

"Now that you have the fruit, what do you want to do?"

"Of course it's a transformation. It's an ancient species of Pteranodon, right? It's a good opportunity to try out my idea."

This time, what appeared was no longer a single stone slab, but two stone slabs. There was no power of attributes used, but simply the power of creation contained in the stone slabs.

Sha Yinna's Blaziken was the result of his evolution after he made a choice and controlled his own power. Now he wanted to try what would happen if he simply induced mutagenesis without guiding it and applying attributes.

He even sensed a special will in this fruit, but faced with Arceus's pressure, he quickly chose to surrender. In Kaido's vision, the devil fruit in his hand really changed, and a grayish-white color covered the original fruit.

[This method saves a lot of effort. Indeterminate mutation is indeed less labor-intensive than stable mutation. However, the type of mutation seems to be determined by the type of fruit itself. The parameters are not enough, and there are still many things to try. ]

Thinking of this, he said to Kaido: "It succeeded, but I still have some attempts to make, and one fruit is not enough. Abel, you eat this fruit."

Shayna already has abilities, and Quinn and Kaido are already ability users. The original characteristics of the devil fruit he modified still exist, and he can only eat one. After eating it, he will become powerless when encountering sea water and completely become a landlubber.

However, for the Lunalia people who can fly, whether they can swim or not is not important.

"Do you want to eat it? This thing tastes terrible. You will never forget the taste. It tastes worse than feces."

Quinn whispered in Jin's ear, saying that after Jin ate the fruit, he would be able to beat him. He could only gain the upper hand verbally at this time, but Sha Yinna did not satisfy him.

"Really? So you've eaten that, right?"

"Ah, what are you talking about? Didn't you see that I am a person with special abilities?"

"No, I mean, have you eaten shit before, so you know this thing tastes worse than shit?"

"...Legend! This is a legend on the sea! Don't you know anything? You bastard!" Quinn didn't know who said this or how the comparison was made, but the rumors about devil fruits have always been like this.

He couldn't let Sha Yinna put the blame on him.

"Mr. Kaido is also a user of abilities, how come he has never said such a thing? You have indeed tried it before."

"....." Impotent rage, this word can perfectly describe Kui's current state. He can neither argue nor fight. Because of his experience in the research institute, Sha Yinna has hatred towards everyone in the research institute.

This kind of thing cannot be offset by a beating. Arceus couldn't judge whether Sha Yinna was naturally sharp-tongued or was specifically targeting Quinn.

However, the behavior of the two did not affect Jin's actions. He took the fruit and ate it without hesitation, and ate the whole thing cleanly.

"You are such a ruthless person. Just one bite of this thing is enough. Only the first person to take a bite will gain the ability. The rest will be nothing but trash."

Instead of paying any attention to Quinn, his body shape changed drastically. His skin turned grayish white and he turned into a giant pterosaur. Although it was still a pterosaur, Quinn was sure that it was not a Pteranodon. The sharp teeth in its mouth and the stone-like texture of its skin were different from those of a Pteranodon.

And the ability at this time is called fossil pterosaur.

Chapter 9: Unlucky Quinn

"That doesn't look like a Pteranodon."

As a scientist, Quinn's technical level is still online. Human body modification and viruses are his main research areas, and when it comes to this aspect, biology is an indispensable part.

Not to mention pterosaur fossils, living pterosaurs can be found on some ancient islands.

The Pteranodon did not have a thick tail, and the width of its lower and upper jaws was much greater than that of the pterosaur's mouth.

"It's just that this pair of wings is a bit of a waste. You Lunaria people can fly, right? That little girl's flame temperature has increased a lot. What about you?"

Quinn seemed to have regained his vitality, or rather, he didn't really want to fight to the death just now. He didn't know how much had been transformed in his body, and with the recovery ability of the ancient species, he has almost recovered now.

Those who do research have a lot of strange exploratory spirit, but when he said it, he suddenly felt a little regretful. At this time, they were all complete animal forms. The size of the fossil pterosaur had expanded a bit and it was flying in the air.

When Quinn questioned his ability, Jin's eyes revealed a very dangerous look, and there was even a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Hey, you guys are not..."

Quinn swallowed his saliva, and the next moment, he flapped his wings, and four huge rocks as big as houses appeared out of thin air in the sky, burying Quinn directly underneath.

But this weight was still acceptable to Quinn. After a struggle, Quinn crawled out again covered in dust, but he seemed to have suffered a little more today.

"Aren't you a pterosaur? Why would a pterosaur use the power of stone? Please be reasonable when transforming a mythical beast!"

"Are you an idiot? The mythical beasts are called mythical beasts because of their unreasonable abilities."

Quinn didn't say anything. Looking at the huge rock that appeared out of thin air, he fell into deep self-doubt. A few minutes ago, these two people were not people with special abilities.

Although the ancient species is not as powerful as the fantasy beast species, it is also a rare animal type, and the increase is not small. But after a while, he saw these two people become fantasy beast species.

Who would complain about having more abilities? Since you're a landlubber anyway, the stronger the abilities, the better.

Sometimes people like to huddle together for warmth. Quinn naturally looked at Kaido, whom he thought was not a user with special abilities. Then, he learned that Kaido was also a mythical beast.

Kaido didn't mention it, but the source of both him and Shayna's abilities ultimately comes from Arceus, and Shayna has always addressed Arceus as the Holy Beast.

Quinn knew very well what was in that research institute. The only things sent over with the two Lunarians were the strange egg and the two stone slabs.

He didn't believe that a... uh... alpaca or horse could jump out of the stone, and he couldn't tell what species Arceus was, but he was afraid that this was the one that hatched from the egg.

While Quinn was looking at Arceus, Arceus was also looking at Quinn. They had tried to give abilities to the powerless and had also tried the indefinite mutations of the devil fruit. If they wanted to try other transformations, they would need to find a few more devil fruits.

At this time, he still wanted to try out the results of transforming the ability users. There were already ready-made ability users here, so forget about Kaido. Arceus was sure that the stronger the original body, the greater the consumption, so transforming Kaido would be too laborious.

Quinn isn't much worse than the powerless Sha Yinna, so it's not a bad idea to use him as a test subject.

However, Quinn is not like Jin and Sha Yinna. They established a relationship because of racial reasons. Although Arceus is not sure about the direction of the transformation at this time, he can be sure that it will be beneficial and harmless. Strengthening Sha Yinna and Jin is for the purpose of better finding the stone slab.

It also allows Kaido to see the possible benefits he can obtain. There is no problem in strengthening Quinn, but he feels that this fat man should have more value.

For example, if this guy is from that research institute, then he should know some traces of the stone slabs.

The stone slabs were released from Arceus' body and floated in front of Kaido and Quinn respectively.

"There are still sixteen such stone tablets. They are the power that originally belonged to me." Arceus in some games does not have ordinary stone tablets, because Arceus without stone tablets is ordinary.

But when he became Arceus, the normal system also became part of his power, and each stone tablet represented immunity to a certain attribute attack.

In reality, there is no restriction of carrying only one stone slab. When he retrieves all the stone slabs, regardless of whether his attacks can be effective, he can also be invincible.

"Kaido, let me emphasize again, these are what I need. Bring them to me, or give me information about their location. I will use the power of the mythical beasts as a reward. This is the agreement between us. Any questions?"

"Hehe, no problem. Then our alliance is established! Now is the time to hold a party!"

The party chapter of pirate culture: banquets are held when forming alliances, when there is good news, or even when there is nothing to do. Even Rocks' pirate group has this influence.

Almost every pirate wants to hold a party, but this deserted town doesn't seem suitable for a party at all.

It turns out that Kaido was not in a mindless state and knew that this place was not suitable for holding a banquet.

Of course, the most important thing is that he likes to hold banquets and doesn't like to organize them himself. He only has a few people under him now, so there is nothing he can do.

"We'll talk about the banquet next time, but we should still have a sworn brotherhood drink or something."

When one pirate group decides to join another pirate group, both parties will drink the "adoptive son wine". However, when two people of similar strength choose to form an alliance, they will also take similar actions to express their sincerity. Although it is just a face-saving project, this tradition has been preserved.

Several containers, two large and three small, were found in the rice cake and red bean soup shop where Quinn had just been. Kaido also announced the establishment of his own pirate group - the Beasts Pirates at this time.

Arceus did not join the Hundred Beasts, but he planned to search for the stone tablets in the name of the Hundred Beasts in the future to avoid unnecessary trouble. He did not want to step into the spotlight before obtaining most of the power of the stone tablets.

Now only these few people know that he was hatched from that mysterious giant egg. If this news spreads to the World Government, it may cause a lot of trouble.

It is worth mentioning that Shayna helped Arceus hold up the wine bowl.

The core of the Beasts Pirates was established again, and Kaido looked at Arceus's stone tablet, as if recalling something. Arceus did not disturb Kaido, but turned to look at Queen.

Chapter 10 That's my beloved senior, I have to pay extra

"You were also a member of that research institute in the past. You should know where those stone tablets came from, right?"

"Yes, one of them was sent here with these two guys, and the other was sent here by the World Government after Vegapunk reached a cooperation with the government. I don't know the details, but it should have been obtained from the Lunaria tribe."

The information matched perfectly. The Fireball Slate was originally lent to the chief of the Lunalia tribe. It was not surprising that it fell into the hands of the government after he was defeated.

The ordinary clearance stone tablet was always carried by Sha Yinna.

“Does the government have any other slates?”

"How could I know about this? I didn't even know there were so many of them before. But from what those people said, they seemed to think there were more than two of these slates, and that another one should be in the hands of the World Government."
