Pirates: Steel Chain Fingers

"Mythical species?"

Victor frowned: "I've never heard of such a class division in the animal department Devil Fruit."

"This is the detailed classification of the special types of animals 800 years ago, and they should all be consolidated into 'Phantom Beasts' now." Robin shook his head, handed the coconut juice to Victor and said, "Speaking of it, Even if the 'mythical species' are still classified now, the number of existing species is very small, right?"

Victor took the cup and took a sip of coconut juice, then thought for a while and said:

"If we really want to divide it in this way, the animal-like human fruit phantom beast species 'Great Buddha Form' of Admiral [Buddha Warring States] can be regarded as a mythical species. The first team captain of the Whitebeard Pirates 'Phoenix' Marko's Animals are birds, birds, fruits, phantom beasts, and the "phoenix form" is barely considered."

"In any case, this is just the division of fruit types of the predecessors, and it is not completely applicable to the current era. The title 'mythical species' is just a random word." Robin continued the topic just now and said:

"It is recorded on the stele that three extremely powerful animal-type mythical devil fruit ability users appeared in that era 800 years ago. The three of them refused to give in to each other and had frequent disputes. Manipulating the weather, melting the earth, and setting off tsunamis... these three This ability user showed all sorts of unimaginable, natural disaster-like abilities. The common people on the sea are miserable, but no one can stop them three or three."

"[Xizes], [Behemoth], [Leviathan]... that's what people call these three capable users."

"Xize? It sounds familiar..." Victor recalled it for a while, and then suddenly realized: "Mr. Haoxue said it? [Snake King] Li Quaid's surname is 'Xize', the chairperson of [Sepiond Kingdom] The royal family."

Robin nodded: "That's true, plus the rumored [Snake King]'s ability, there are quite a lot of similarities."

"I'm a little interested." Victor simply crossed his legs and put on a gesture of listening carefully: "Let's talk about it in detail, Robin."

Robin sorted out his thoughts, and then said:

"It is recorded in this historical text-[Ling in June, thunderclouds descend suddenly, the earth disintegrates, lava erupts, and the sea roars. The three pillar gods fight each other without sleep. Xiz dominates the sky, calls the wind and rain, and thunder Behemoth dominates the land, triggering volcanoes, and everything dries up. Leviathan summons tsunamis, frost covers the ground, and deep whirlpools. The people wailed and offered sacrifices to plead for mercy. 】”

After listening, Victor tilted his head: "Didn't you say which sea area it is? Or which island?"

Robin read the historical text again and shook his head: "No, there is no information about [Sea Territory] or [Island] in the whole text. The description in the main text is the one just now, and there are some side notes about the three abilities description of the author."

"Oh? Tell me."

"The grammar is not the same as our language, so I will simply translate it. The side note roughly talks about the ability overview of Xiz, Behemoth and Leviathan. Xiz has the ability to fly, call the wind and rain, control thunder, cast Illusions and other abilities. Behemoth has the ability to induce lava, control fire, and reshape the earth. Leviathan can cause tsunamis, lower the temperature of surrounding water, and swim in the sea. It is strange that not all capable people are Is the sea cursed?"

"Either the records are wrong, or this [Leviathan] has some way to isolate the curse of the sea, and travels in the sea in an alternative way."

Victor took another sip of coconut water,

Then handed the quilt to Robin: "The sea is the natural enemy of all capable people. This is an irreversible law that can never be violated."

As the chief intelligence officer of 'Coral', Robin has a deep study of the opponent he is about to face: "This description of Xiz's ability has many similarities with the rumors about the [Snake King]. The coming of the King of Snakes is always accompanied by violent storms, lightning and thunder. Once or twice is fine, but it has happened so many times, it seems that the King of Snakes has not deliberately concealed his abilities."

While the two were chatting, the old patriarch of the tribe walked over tremblingly on crutches: "Master Victor, you are not going to the banquet...is this? This lady can interpret the meaning of this 'Rock of God'." Text?"

The old patriarch happened to see the scene where Robin stroked the historical text and translated it for Victor, and was shocked.

Victor and Robin looked at each other, and then smiled gently: "Chief Xia Xiaku, this is our little secret, please keep it a secret."

The old patriarch shook his head: "If you can really understand this kind of writing... wait a minute! I have something to show you!"

After that, the old man walked quickly to his house with a cane. After a while, he came over with a small slate, handed it to Robin and said excitedly: "Look, is this the same kind of writing?"

Robin took a look at the slate, and was surprised to find that the entire surface of the slate was densely written with unique characters from historical texts.

The more she looked, the more surprised she became, and finally her face turned pale with shock: "This... this is..."

"What's wrong, Robin?" Victor asked suspiciously.

Robin turned to look at Victor, with a pale face: "The content on it... is the notes recorded by a scholar named 'Watano' who specialized in devil fruits 800 years ago. I don't know who wrote the notes on this block. On the slate."

She calmed down, and then said: "It contains the research content of the scholar Watano. He believes that the animal-type devil fruit has its own consciousness. The higher the level of the rare animal type, the clearer its consciousness. Once it reaches a certain level At the same level, the devil fruit will start to bite the spiritual will of the eater and inevitably cause irreversible changes in the habit of the eater. Among these devil fruits, the most dangerous are the "natural disaster species" in the natural system and the "natural disaster species" in the animal system. 'Mythical species'."

"These two classifications have completely disappeared today, but they were divided in great detail 800 years ago. It is described in the article that both the natural disaster species and the mythical species will cause subtle changes to the personality of the eater, especially the latter, which has extremely Strong bewitching ability. In that era, there was a time when one's own strength was not enough but accidentally swallowed the devil fruit of the mythical animal species, and the result was to permanently become a [monster] that lost humanity and only had instinct. It also specifically mentioned Xiz in the "Three Pillars of God", its body is a huge green feather flying snake, and there have been 3 rare cases of devil fruit rampage just on it. And the most terrifying is Xiz Possessing the power of [Rebirth], after the death of the capable person, it will re-condense into a complete devil fruit in place."

"After the earth-shattering battle of the Three Pillars Gods, all three of them perished together. Among them, the devil fruit formed by the recondensation of Xiz has disappeared. It must be the 'national treasure' guarded by the royal family of Xiz later, right?"

Victor frowned when he heard this: "In this way, it can explain why the Royal Shiz didn't use this [National Treasure] even when the country was destroyed. Its characteristics, so the descendants were ordered not to touch this treasure and sealed it with special means. Over time, the specific information about the national treasure was completely annihilated in the long flow of time. I think it was a coincidence that the King of Snakes came... No, No! He can eat this fruit, nine out of ten are also the choice of [fruit] himself."

Robin felt that his three views began to collapse: "You mean, the [self-awareness of the mythical devil fruit] mentioned in the article? Is what this scholar said true?"

"Hehe, feeding Devil Fruits to non-living bodies must be restricted to animals?" Victor sneered for a while: "It seems that the world government has already figured out this fact—only animals can give non-living bodies [consciousness]. Carnivorous animals Devil fruit users will be more bloodthirsty and brutal, while herbivorous animal devil fruit users will have longer physical strength, which is also the change of the animal system for the eater. From this point of view, this scholar is not wrong."

But at this time, what Victor thought of was the [Rambo Pill] created by Tony Tony Chopper, the ship doctor in the protagonist Luffy's team in the comics. Rambo Maru will become a "running monster" in the future, and the manga clearly states that this is the result of the devil's fruit getting out of control.

At that time, was it Chopper's own instinct that controlled Chopper's actions?

Or the consciousness of a devil fruit?
