Capítulo 104: Can the theory of evolution transcend dimensions?
"Caveman?"
Devil Fruits come in various types, and theoretically, there exists a Regular, Mythical, and Ancient version of every type of Zoan-type Devil Fruit.
Human Human Fruit is also part of the Zoan-type Devil Fruits category, but does the Ancient version of this fruit make an ordinary person even sturdy?
"Yes, if the picture book is correct, this is the Caveman Fruit. Eating it will allow a person to transform into a prehistoric human."
Queen was also feeling puzzled about this. The basic ability of a Zoan-type Fruit is three-stage transformation, with most of the Zoan-type Fruits' strongest being the Human-Beast form, which allows a person to possess the strength of a beast while retaining their agility in human form.
However, the Human-Beast form of Caveman Fruit seems to only have a muscle expansion effect.
"Which period's prehistoric human is it?"
The term 'prehistoric human' encompasses a wide range. If theory of evolution is also universally applicable and reasonable in this world, then the more primitive one is, the more similar to a monkey they are, while the more modern they are, the more they resemble humans.
Moreover, in this world, there are not only humans but also many other sub-human races such as the Long-Leg Tribe, Long-Arm Tribe, Three-Eye Tribe, Snake-Neck Tribe, Fish-Man Tribe, Minks, Giants, Dwarves, etc. It is still a matter of investigation whether these people had a common ancestor in ancient times.
If they do, then the potential of this fruit may be even greater.
"From the description in the picture book, it should be referring to the modern version of prehistoric man. It seems to be a very strong barbarian, but there are no further details recorded."
Of course, such a thick picture book does not only contain names and appearances but also provides a general description of abilities. Although Caveman Fruit is only briefly mentioned, the image shown is already quite similar to modern humans.
"I'm sorry, Lord Arceus, this is not my area of expertise. Even with more detailed information, I still wouldn't know. Perhaps we should find someone to try it?"
"Forget it, let's just put it away. After all, it is still an Ancient Zoan Fruit, we shouldn't waste it."
If nothing else works out, it can be fed to a Millennial Dragon. Although they have undergone modifications, their modification method is different which allows them to eat Devil Fruits, and the Human-Human Fruit can still provide practical benefits to non-humanoids.
However, it would be interesting to see what would happen if an ordinary person ate the most regular Human-Human Fruit.
"Yes, I understand."
"How are the new fruit seedlings I gave you doing?"
"They are growing well, Lord Arceus. The seeds you cultivated are truly remarkable. The fast-growing crops have already borne fruit, and their taste is excellent, unlike any I have tasted before."
"Keep up the good work and many good things will come to you. However, there is still some issue you need to pay attention to. You know what I mean."
"Please rest assured that I have been paying close attention to that issue. The island residents and my fellow pirates currently have a favorable impression of me."
He was aware that Arceus stressed the importance of not disregarding his subordinates. So, after putting a significant amount of effort into correcting his behavior, he had finally addressed this issue, and his direct subordinates were now treated well.
This includes but is not limited to serving them a fruit platter made with some of the special fruits freshly produced in the laboratory.
This is for the sake of the future, otherwise Queen could easily become an unstable factor within the Beasts Pirates.
At this moment, a strange sound reached Arceus' ears.
"Did you hear that?"
"It seems like something is releasing electricity? Is someone causing trouble here? The generator isn't broken, is it? Please wait here, let me go take a look outside."
Saying that, Queen left Arceus' room, or rather, villa. If Kaido had not intended to settle on this island permanently, the house would have been turned into a palace.
Recently, things had been going smoothly for Queen in all aspects, and he had also made a new breakthrough in Haki. Moreover, it had also been some time since he had suffered any surprise attacks. However, as soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw a white light rushing towards him.
It didn't look very big, but the sound of electricity being released was coming from it. Soon after, he was kicked in the face.
Years of living had almost formed a conditioned reflex, so he immediately used Haki to intercept the attack. Afterward, he reached out with both hands and grabbed onto the unknown object.
"Who are you? Mink brat?"
"Well done, Queen. Don't let her go!"
Shayna and Zeraora rushed over from the side. Not long ago, Shayna was arranging a new house for them and everything seemed to be going well. But then a gust of wind disperse the clouds in the sky, and that's when things started to go wrong.
Setsuna looked up at the sky and then her tail and hair started to grow rapidly, turning her entire body pure white and soon after, she entered this uncontrollable state.
At first, she started attacking the living beings around her crazily, but then she seemed to have realized that she couldn't beat Shayna and Zeraora, so she started running here and there.
Shayna and Zeraora didn't know what was happening, so they chased after her without daring to attack until Queen caught her.
Hearing Shayna describe the situation, Queen looked up at the full moon overhead and found all the answers he needed.
"You're still young. This is Mink's 'true' form, Sulong. But it seems this little one hasn't been trained, so she's lost control."
"Sulong?"
"Yes. Minks awaken their dormant wild nature whenever they see the moon during the full moon. If they can control it, their strength will increase significantly, but if they can't, they'll attack any living creature around them indiscriminately until the moon disappears or they exhaust themselves to death."
In terms of knowledge, Shayna and King were indeed not as knowledgeable as Queen since their life experiences were completely different.
However, Setsuna seemed not interested in Queen's explanation. A powerful electric current erupted out from her body, but nothing happened.
Zeraora directly took over Setsuna, absorbing all the released electricity.
"Right, isn't he also a Mink? Let Minks handle their own affairs, okay?"
"He's different. He's created by Lord Sacred Beast."
"Shall I give her a sedative? But it may not be effective in this state."
Queen didn't ask any further, as he suspected that Arceus had his own plans. He only wants to understand the uniqueness of Zeraora. However, while they were pondering how to handle the situation, a bell sound rang out from behind them.
Heal Bell. This sound calmed down the berserk Setsuna.
This uncontrollable state was undoubtedly an abnormal state, so Heal Bell could naturally restore her calmness.
"Take her back to rest and hang thicker window curtains. Zeraora, you come with me."
Zeraora indeed cannot transform into Sulong, but the manifestation of Sulong is its color turning white, and its strength increasing. The length of its fur can also vary from person to person. Therefore, Arceus plans to give Zeraora a skin function.
