[Menmen Fruit·Fragments x6]

Different from the previous situation, this time it was Xiaozhao who was the first to break through, and then gave him feedback on how to use the [Menmen Fruit].

Most of them are completely different from the information provided by the cards, and even draw parallels, which greatly inspired Tata Tot.

after all.

For the same Devil Fruit, the effects of ability development may be very different for different people, not to mention different species.

To give a simple example, humans with door fruit abilities need to use their hands to "open the door".

But sea slugs do not have hands as an organ at all, and they are not subject to this restriction.

Even further, regarding the concept of "door", humans and sea slugs are very different. If it were not for the information instillation from Tata Tot, Xiao Slug's painting style might become very weird. indefinite.

In any case, after waking up, Xiaoju's mastery of the [Menmen Fruit] has reached a new and inexplicable level.

From the perspective of Tata Tot, by human standards, this level is generally called awakening.

And if you think about it seriously.

The reason for awakening may be due to the influence of Tata Tot's transformation, or it may be due to the strange dream they experienced together.

of course.

There is a simpler and cruder possibility.

The reason for awakening is simply...

The size is different.

……

The deep and vast strange space is filled with glistening green as usual.

But one thing is different from before.

At this moment, if someone is here, then just standing here, an unbearable strange feeling will constantly invade his heart.

If you can't hold back anymore and run around exploring...

And I was lucky enough to touch an invisible wall that was trembling, rhythmic, and slightly expanding and contracting...

And after that, moved far enough distance...

Then it won't be long before he realizes with shock that an indescribably huge life form exists right in front of him——

Inaccessible to the eye, out of reach.

A moving majestic [mountain] appears translucent, its outline disappearing into the deep background—it is obviously towering, but it is difficult to detect.

Wait until the next moment, and the strangeness will transform into a huge sense of presence.

Either they were crushed to the ground and unable to move, or they turned around and ran away in panic.

but.

If this person is not so normal and has a strong enough mind to muster up the courage to continue exploring and observing, there will be some strange details waiting for him to discover.

——Countless faint light spots inside, like stars all over the sky, flickering brightly and dimly like breathing.

Only when one looks closer and goes deep into it can one distinguish——

Hundreds of [doors] of different types, sizes, and shapes are spliced ​​together, powered by the powerful water pressure of the deep sea, to form exquisite filtration devices.

If you look carefully, you can see corals, algae, sponges and other food for nudibranchs.

Of course, it is inevitable that there will also be some fish, shrimp, shellfish and other sea creatures.

There are even some that can be called predators or even natural enemies of sea slugs in the naturally occurring biological chain...

But at this point, they all become insignificant impurities in the food crumbs.

Wrapped in the rapids, after opening and closing the doors, they disappeared into the translucent colloid cells in the form of mixed debris at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the end, it became an entire flowing [mountain], which seemed to be slow, but actually grew horribly and unswervingly.

The tributaries extend to distant places beyond sight, either leading to an individual or to various places.

Being immersed in the soft colloid, being carried and moved, a yellow [Squirrel] popped up with a pop.

……

a road.

A sea slug born through artificial intervention.

Not to mention a small one, even with the same size, the potential that the body can tap is far from being comparable to that of humans.

But, think another way.

Can directly absorb and utilize foreign substances;

Terrifying self-healing power at the level of decapitation and regeneration;

Molluscs, especially molluscs that have learned to return life, are already able to freely control their bodies even though they are only at the first level;

A person with abilities who ate the [Superman-type Gate Fruit].

Add these together and we get -

Unlimited ability to digest, absorb, and grow; a fluid-like amorphous body that is almost unaffected by weight factors; an indestructible and boundless [shell] for living;

Plus--

Before he retreated, he opened the door to the different space on hundreds of cut iron plates, and sank them to the seabed of the coral reefs near Xiangbo Land at intervals.

——Abundant to the point of almost endless food.

Next, in just a few days, one to two, two to four, four to eight...

Xiaolu demonstrated truly exponential growth.

On the first day, the little slug can still be regarded as the fat one among sea slugs, but on the second day it becomes a mutant that transcends biological categories.

By the time the third day passed and the fourth day came, it had to be classified into the category of small sea monsters.

On the fifth day, it quickly rose to prominence, turning from the little brother among the sea beasts into the big brother. On the sixth day, it looked more like a cub of the Neptune type.

On the seventh day, the cub grows into a giant.

By the eighth day, the largest super giant sea king that Tata Tot had ever seen in the Windless Zone could not compare with it.

And now it's the tenth day.

Tata Tot looked at everything in front of him.

With its current size...

To be honest, if sea slugs cannot rely on photosynthesis to provide energy, the sun, the granary that can reassure Tata Tot, will serve as a guarantee.

Just maintaining basic physiological needs is enough to join the ranks of [Neptune], [Pluto], and [King of Heaven], and is regarded by people in this world as an ancient weapon that destroys the world in legend.

……

During these ten days or so.

Verified some things and gained some gains,

Among them, there are both planned gains and unexpected insights.

The original purpose may be somewhat utilitarian;

However, there is another life existing in his body... Even for Tata Tot, this [fusion] is a wonderful experience.

In his heart, he regards Xiaoshou as a life, not a prop.

What is foreseeable is that as the little slug gradually grows into a human, the separation between the two is inevitable.

As Xiaoshou's consciousness becomes increasingly independent, the conflict of sharing a body will emerge.

What's more, from another perspective.

Tata Tot has been keenly aware of——

The beautiful period of enlightenment, the stage of believing whatever is said has passed, in order to avoid falling into the position of parents of adolescent children.

It is also necessary to give the slugs more space.

Today is a turning point——

Xiaoju took the initiative to ask for a serious and serious conversation.

Tata Tot takes this very seriously.

……

"~~~"

It is similar to the cry of a whale, but more distant and ethereal. The sound of nature resounds in the vast and boundless space.

"How could I lie to you, little slug."

With both claws inserted into the waist that seemed to exist and yet did not exist, Tata Tot felt confident.

Since he couldn't raise his head too high, he simply lay down on the ground and looked at the [cliff] that stretched over and seemed to be about to topple over.

"Of course you are a Neptune. If you are not a Neptune, who else would dare to be! Little Slug, you have to be confident!"

No kidding, seriously.

Neptune species include fish, but not only fish. Non-mammalian species such as highly venomous sea snakes, giant sea frogs, ancient sea turtles (as big as islands), etc., can all be considered Neptune species.

This is a concept clearly defined by scholars in the Tree of Omniscientity, a collection of books on marine biology.

"~~~"

To Tata Tot's delight, Xiaoshou's thinking was clear and logical.

"Well...it's true that the ugly duckling is actually a swan...but don't you think that success achieved through hard work is even more joyful?"

"~~~"

It has also learned to rake the ground.

"How could you grow up for me?"

Tata Tot is very sincere.

"You're doing it for yourself!"

"~~~"

"It's not..."

There is some misunderstanding. What's more important is that Tata Tote can't stand acting like a spoiled brat.

"Tell me……"

"~~~"

The heavenly chirping was intermittent.

"Tired of coral?"

"Want something delicious?"

"Paradise's secret vegetarian fresh buns?"

"Want a big meal? No...all you can eat?!"

"..."

Tata Tot was silent for a while and said tactfully.

"Actually...this thing...just tastes something new. If you eat too much, it won't actually taste that good..."

"~~~"

Xiaoshou didn't believe it.

"How could I lie to you! I have never lied to you!"

"~~~"

Xiaoju questioned.

"Those were all white lies before, you have to believe me..."

"~~~"

Xiaoshou was angry.

Accompanied by Qingyue's high-pitched cry, the raised [big waves] covered the sky, and the entire space trembled faintly as far as the eye could see.

"..."

Tata Tot suddenly relented.

It's just a small request, it makes the kid greedy.

and--

To change the way of thinking, there is no need to do it yourself.

The filtering device should be made more sophisticated so that it can be classified into different categories. If we find a few active submarine volcanoes to open the doors and use the water pressure skillfully... it is not possible to upgrade to a fully automatic cooking system...

Of course, the vegetarian buns made this way have no soul.

"Okay, I'll go back and find a way."

As soon as he changed his mind, Tata Tot immediately changed his mind.

"But as agreed, Xiaoxiao, this is not compensation, this is a reward for you."

Correct concepts still need to be established, and children must not be spoiled.
