The Sabre Pirates were anchored to an island shortly after their battle with Vice admiral Kuzan and his marines. The island was a part of the Briss kingdom.
It has been a week since the bounties arrived. Ragnar was holding a book in his hands and a chest in his other. He was currently sitting inside his personal quarters.
The chest is the same chest that the mayor of the village in Hashi island, Kaoshi gave him a couple of weeks ago. The book in his hand was a devil fruit encyclopaedia, the books that are known to be as rare as devil fruits themselves. Ragnar managed to snatch one off of the black market yesterday, he has gotten a chance to know what fruit Kaoshi gave him.
After flipping the pages of the thick book for half an hour, Ragnar started to wonder who documented all of these fruits and why there were so many fruits, Aren't they supposed to be rare?
But soon enough, Ragnar found an identical looking fruit with the same colour and pattern. As he started reading the name of the fruit.
*Neko Neko No Mi: Model Byakko.*
Ragnar felt like he had hit a jack pot, he knew what the Byakko was. A Byakko was a beast of prosperity, a white tiger that is able to manipulate wind and the archenemies of the dragons.
With a few second to contemplate and rethink his choice of eating the fruit, he took a deep breath and took a Small bite of the fruit. As long as even a small bite has been taken, the powers of the devil fruits will transfer to the user.
*Cough*Cough*Weeze*cough*Cough*
The fruit tasted like a spicy apple stuffed with mustard, Who even likes mustard? Not Ragnar. The fruit tasted absolutely horrendous.
He went out to outside the deck to check out his new power, after all his creature was a mythical white tiger.
"Guys, please don't come close to me, I am testing something." Ragnar said to the nearby pirates onced he reached the top. The pirates obeyed him and backed off.
"I ate a mythical zoan devil fruit todayz I hope you guys don't mind." Ragnar said to his vice captains that were standing with the crowd.
"No problem, It's your choice, we don't mind." Kashi said as Ragnar nodded with a smile.
"Okay here it goes, Full tiger form." Ragnar said as his body started getting bigger, his body grew white fur, his hands and legs changed to paws, his nails transformed into claws, two large canines grew out of his mouth and he took the form of a mythical white tiger.
Ragnar lifted up his paws as soon as he got the feeling of his body again, this felt amazing. Strange but amazing. He felt like a wild beast with immense strength and speed. He could feel the size of his body compared to his crew members surrounding him. He was just as tall as a large tree out in the distance, which was already pretty big when compared to a normal human. He dwarves these guys to say the least.
"So? How do I look?" Ragnar asked in a deep voice, The members of his crews looked at him with their mouths hanging. He was just around 4 meters in height, which was pretty big. Whiteberd himself was said to be around 6 to 7 meters and he was gigantic. But Ragnar's tiger's size wasn't joke either, it was bigger than almost 99% of all pirates and marines in This state.
The encyclopedia stated that this fruit has the same power as Uo Uo no mi: Model Seriyu which the fruit Owned by Kaido currently.
"You look... Majestic..." Kazuma replied out of words, the tiger completely dwarfed them and was as big as one of the crew's smaller ships.
Ragnar grinned in the Tiger form, showing the shiny white teeth of his full majestic white tiger. Ragnar tried to switch the zoan mode to hybrid but his mastery over the fruit is still too low to attempt that so he just transformed into his base form.
The Gigantic tiger got smaller and smaller till it reformed back into Ragnar at his base state. After the first use of his fruit, Ragnar collapsed from exhaustion. and for his body to fully adapt to his new fruit.
