I only want to be a Shichibukai when I have Bengyu

"Is this...an orangutan?"

Elus walked up to the old pirate and had his limbs broken. Even an animal-type Devil Fruit couldn't heal himself in such a short time. The old pirate completely lost his mobility, except for You can't do much more than yelling and scolding to get some advantages.

Disliked that this old guy was too noisy, Eleus let go of the shock of some spiritual pressure, which shocked the old pirate's soul and mind. He immediately scared the old pirate and shut his mouth, and his eyes gradually adjusted to the room. The light inside, and then finally saw Elus's appearance clearly.

In just a moment, the already depressed and disappointed mood fell into hell.

It's actually the Black Prince...

As an experienced pirate, how could he not recognize Elus, who had appeared in newspapers many times.

The deep despair turned into a big hand that tightly squeezed his heart, making him almost breathless. The little hope that was used to comfort himself failed to deceive him completely, and fell into the hands of the Black Prince. In your hands, there is no chance of escape.

Death is their only fate.

This is a well-known thing among pirates in the new world today. The fifth overlord of the new world is not a pirate, and he is also full of malice towards pirates. If he falls into the hands of several other pirate emperors, he will have a narrow escape, but if he is accidentally killed If the Black Prince is captured, he will definitely die.

Or, in the hands of the Black Prince, even thinking about a happy death would be a luxury.

Even the pain of broken limbs was endured. He did not dare to cry loudly and could only whimper quietly, for fear of offending Elus and inciting more cruel punishment.

There was no more noisy noise in his ears, and Eleusz calmed down and carefully checked the old pirate's condition.

He has black hair, arms that are longer than his legs and feet, and a ring of powerful muscles. Judging from the appearance, he looks like an orangutan, but... why has he always maintained this human-animal form? His limbs were broken, his body was severely injured, and he still maintained his human-animal form. Logically speaking, his physical strength would definitely not be able to withstand it.

Using abilities will consume physical strength. This is the same no matter what type of devil fruit it is. Animal-type ability users have tenacious vitality and long-lasting endurance, but this does not mean that everyone is a perpetual motion machine. Once the ability is activated, it will It will consume physical strength, this is an unchanging truth.

"Why don't you return to human form?" Elus lightly kicked the old pirate.

"It hurts..."

Even a light kick was a heartbreaking pain for the old pirate who had broken his bones. He hissed a few breaths of cold air and let out an instinctive cry, but just as he raised his head Inadvertently looking at Eleus's green eyes, he caught a glimpse of the undisguised coldness and ruthlessness.

The old pirate suddenly felt cold in his heart.

The intuition and experience developed during more than thirty years of wandering on the sea told him that he must not disobey the notorious black prince in front of him.

"Change...can't it come back? Hiss?"

The old pirate himself was stunned.

After living in the New World for so many years, he has never eaten pork and has always seen pigs running away. He also knows that people with animal abilities can change back and forth between different human and animal postures. It doesn't matter even if they are injured, but as long as If you are still alive and have the strength, you will definitely be able to do this.

However, the old pirate found that he had no ability to change at all.

If it weren't for the obvious changes of animals on his body, he would have doubted whether someone had fed him shit before. Such a strange situation made the old pirate a little confused, but it didn't cause any more fear. , anyway, he is unlucky enough now.

"There is no way to change...Caesar, your artificial devil fruit is a bit..."

Eleus shook his head.

Sure enough, even if the environment has changed, Caesar's research and development capabilities have not changed much. The artificial Devil Fruit he developed is still the same defective product as he remembered. Firstly, it cannot stably allow the user to gain abilities, and secondly, it is an artificial devil. The fruitfulness brought by the fruit is incomplete and incomplete.

In his memory, among the legion of ability users established by the beasts, all the artificial devil fruit ability users looked strange and weird. They had lion heads and elephant heads on their chests, hippos growing out of their buttocks, and their palms turned into antelopes. horn······

There is no comparison with the orthodox animal-type ability users. It can be seen from the fact that the real high-level officials of the Beast Pirates, such as Big Kanban and Fei Liubao, do not have any artificial devil fruit ability users. If artificial devil fruits are only maintained as they are now At this level, the ability users created can only be said to strengthen the combat power of the middle and high-level people.

This is still somewhat different from the result Eleus wanted.

He was not prepared to let his subordinates who were loyal to him eat this kind of artificial devil fruit that was purely based on luck. If he was lucky, he would get incomplete abilities, but if he was unlucky, he would be left with sad emotions... Anyway, He is not a pirate, and the beasts may not care about the lives of the losers, but Elus does not want to be a cold-blooded ruler.

This is the impact of different identities.

Pirates are lawless and are not bound by laws and morals. The price is to be beaten by everyone and constantly targeted by the navy. As the crown prince of a country, Elus has more choices and can be wanton. A reckless tyrant can also become a wise king who loves his people like his sons... Different choices will bring different results.

Although Elus has gained the reputation of being a vicious black prince.

But this notoriety has basically spread to countries outside the Kingdom of Exmundo. Elus's reputation in the country is quite good. With the hard work of several generations of the Soccachio family, they rely on a near-monopoly in the coffee trade. The country has become rich and powerful, and all citizens have benefited greatly from it, and the maritime network.

Eleus also doesn’t want to ruin this good reputation.

Naturally, he can't be called a good person at heart, but he never wants to become trash like the Celestial Dragons.

"What went wrong? This shouldn't be happening! Blood factor, blood factor... or SAD..." Caesar fell into deep distress. He had always been trying to surpass Bei. Garpunk keeps working hard towards his goal, but the freak Vegapunk claims to have wisdom that exceeds 500 years of human beings. That is to say, Caesar, a dead-head, doesn't know what giving up means.

Vegapunk gave up the experiment of artificial Devil Fruit, which allowed Caesar to see an opportunity to surpass Vegapunk. As long as he can mass-produce Devil Fruit, it will be equivalent to surpassing Vegapunk, at least in the world. This is what he sees for himself.

Unfortunately, the results were not optimistic.

This result was a big blow to Caesar, who was so confident and almost arrogant.

"The bloodline factor data is absolutely correct. Is there an error in the dose of SAD? Or is there a loophole in the transformation process..." Caesar muttered and completely immersed himself in his own world. Fran left in disgust. He took a few steps away, unwilling to get close to the crazy-looking Caesar.

Eleus also ignored Caesar.

Although Elus was disappointed with this level of failure, he was still mentally prepared to a certain extent. Strictly speaking, this cannot be said to be fruitless. Even if it looks a bit ugly, there is no change from a genuine animal-type ability user. ability, but the increase in strength is genuine, and the vitality and resilience are beyond the scope of ordinary humans.

"Artificial Devil Fruit, a disabled esper?"

Elus squatted down, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the old pirate's gorilla-like long arm, silently stimulating Bengyu's power, and bits of blue light flew out from the palm of his hand. The pirate's long arms slowly blended in.

"ah--!!!"

The old pirate let out a heartbreaking cry of pain.

There was an endless echo in this empty and airtight room. The two unlucky guys who could only laugh were frightened. They walked a few steps away holding the heavy shackles on their hands and feet, with smiling (fearful) eyes. Looking at the old pirate lying on the ground, the two of them shrank, tears of despair streaming down their faces, but they were still smiling.

"Eh! It's so scary."

Fran scratched her arm.

The old pirate's shouting didn't move her at all, but the two unlucky guys who were laughing and crying made her panic.

"Caesar, look at what you have done and created such a horrible thing. If you don't change your mind next time, even if His Highness doesn't beat you up, I won't let you go." As she said this, the maid showed her sexual desire. He waved his fist, and his fist, which looked as beautiful as white jade, was covered with a golden-red flame.

"...Miss Fran, don't worry, I promise to solve the existing defects." Caesar, who was awakened from his meditation by the old pirate's howl, laughed dryly and looked at Fran. The delicate and beautiful fist swallowed.

He was afraid of Elus, who could compete with Big Mom, but he still looked arrogant when facing others, until he was taught a lesson by Fran and Casper one after another, which made this short-term memory The guy has deeply understood what it means to compromise.

The Black Prince is not only powerful himself, but all of his subordinates are as tyrannical as monsters. Two merciless beatings made Caesar fully realize his situation. He can put on airs in front of the researchers under him, but in the face of When other people are around, it's best to be an honest person.

"I hope you won't lie to me."

Fran retracted her fist and turned her gaze back to Eleus, and Caesar also looked over.

The old pirate's howl was still as loud as ever.

However, Elus did not let go, but continued to activate Bengyu's power, because the old pirate's body was changing. Thick black hair not only covered a pair of long arms, but also appeared all over his body. The thick black hair and the old face turned into that of an ape, especially the pair of white eyebrows on the face that looked particularly eye-catching.

The change didn't last long. In just over a minute, the old pirate changed from the half-finished gorilla to the complete white-browed ape. Just as he was completely transformed, the old pirate's howling also quickly became low. Come down.

The pain of broken bones in his hands and feet was still there, but the phantom pain that felt like cramps and skin peeling just now made the old pirate more bearable. He tried his best to ignore the pain and focus on his changes, even if Lying on the ground did not prevent him from raising his head as much as possible to see his body, and his neck was not broken.

"This is...why has it changed again?"

The old pirate looked at his current appearance.

Even though he couldn't see the white eyebrows on his face, he could tell that his arms were completely different from before. Although they were still covered with thick black hair and were longer than his knees, they were thinner. Now his arms were The arms have become much thinner, and they no longer have the sense of strength that the muscles had before. There is an extra tail behind the buttocks, which is very uncomfortable under the body.

In addition, there is the body, and the feeling of the body is also very different from before. His hands and feet cannot move freely, but he can feel that his muscles have become active. He can completely imagine that if the bones of his hands and feet had not been broken, he would probably be Will be as flexible as an ape.

correct,

Not only that, the mysterious intuition coming from his mind made him move, so the thick black hair on his body disappeared, and the arms that were longer than the knees shortened and returned to their original appearance. The uncomfortable feeling in my lower tail also disappeared.

He returned to his human form.

This is--

A real devil fruit.

"Monkey Fruit·White-browed Gibbon Form..."

Caesar recognized the old pirate's appearance and murmured.

He stared at this scene in disbelief. If he hadn't seen this change with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed this...such unscientific thing. "This doesn't make sense. ? Impossible... How is this possible... Your Highness, you, you..."

Caesar's tongue was tied in shock.

This kind of thing has broken his understanding, "Is it a Devil Fruit? This is the ability of the Devil Fruit... But, I have never heard of it! There is no record of this kind of fruit in the Devil Fruit Illustrated Book? "

He desperately squeezed his brain power, looking for a reasonable excuse.

However, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find a reason that could justify it. Artificial Devil Fruits only appeared in recent years. Logically speaking, it is impossible for artificial Devil Fruits to turn into real devils. The technology or ability of the fruit is right.

Really unable to find an explanation that could explain the situation, he had no choice but to turn his attention to Elus.

Elus was also looking at the old pirate, using the power of Bengyu to evolve the artificial Devil Fruit into a real Devil Fruit. This experiment was successful, but then one question after another emerged in his mind.

"From an orangutan to a monkey...interesting!"
