Vlad was in a daze, staring blankly at the strange fruit. The golden color had already disappeared after it was plucked.
Vlad sat on the beach, next to a bonfire, as well as a bone left behind by a giant bear. The fruit was placed in front of Vlad.
Vlad looked straight at the fruit, feeling very conflicted.
Without a doubt, this was a devil fruit. This could be seen from the spiral patterns all over it. Vlad had been trying to see if he could find a devil fruit, but he had not expected that he would actually find it.
"Sure enough, I am the chosen one!" At that time, Vlad thought so.
Logically speaking, it should be a very happy thing to be able to find a devil fruit. A devil fruit could greatly enhance the strength of the user. There was no doubt about it. However, if not for the fact that it was useless like the quietly fruit, the usual devil fruit could greatly strengthen the user.
As the saying goes, there is no strongest fruit only the strongest person, but the strongest person gets the strongest fruit. Vlad already has the devil fruit he likes. Otherwise, after working in the Big Mom pirates for so many years, he would agree to get a devil fruit, but Vlad was not tempted.
Because he was looking forward to the appearance of another fruit. It was three years later. It was the year when Luffy went out to sea. He didn't care about the ordinary devil fruit, Vlad. He wanted to be stronger.
But now, Vlad was shaken. This fruit did not look ordinary.
Although the devil fruit did not have a fixed shape, from the shape of this banana, the probability of it being a Zoan type was very high.
Vlad was not interested in the ordinary Zoan type. Although he was a physical body type person, obtaining an Zoan type fruit could greatly strengthen his physical ability. After awakening, the powerful recovery ability and endless physical strength were definitely the nightmare of all the powerhouses in the sea.
However, Vlad was unwilling. If it was just an ordinary Zoan, how could he compete with those monsters in the future? The devil fruit had a weakness. Whether it was seawater or sea stones, they all restrained the ability user. If there was no powerful fruit, Vlad would rather be a man with pure physical skills.
However, this fruit was different now. The flame that was wrapped around the top was not an illusion. It was a phenomenon that existed in reality. After plucking this fruit, the strange temperature in the hot area disappeared.
All of this showed that this fruit was not ordinary.
"Mythical Zoan Fruit?" Vlad muttered to himself.
Yes, Vlad is very confident. This fruit is definitely not an ordinary Zoan fruit. It is very likely to be Mythical Zoan Fruit.
The devil fruit of the mythical beast species is a secret treasure that is even rarer than the strongest natural devil fruit. In the whole world of One Piece, the fruit of the mythical beast species has not appeared many times. There are only two in total.
One is from the Whitebeard pirates, the captain of the 1st Division, the immortal bird Marco, and gave him an almost immortal recovery ability. During the war, Marco relied on this fruit to block the light of Kizaru. He was unscathed, which was terrifying.
The owner of the other one was the current Admiral of the Navy, one of the legends of the sea, Sengoku the Buddha, the Human-Human Fruit Buddha Type, the ability to release a terrifying shock wave, suppressing Blackbeard, who had already stolen the ability of Whitebeard, and his whole group, it could not be said that he was not powerful.
Now, in front of Vlad, it was very likely that it was the devil fruit of the third Mythical beast, this kind of temptation was not small.
Vlad was very conflicted, on one hand, the ideal devil fruit that had not appeared yet and did not know the result, on the other hand, it was the devil fruit that was very likely to be a powerful mythical beast species in front of him,
He did not know how to choose for a moment.
"Hey, why is my luck so good?"
Vlad suddenly felt a little tired of his good luck. If he did not have such good luck, he would not be so torn.
Whether to eat or not was a problem.
"Heck, here goes nothing!"
Vlad picked up the devil fruit on the ground and smiled. "This kind of opportunity is probably something that others dream of. I am still hesitating here. It is really a little too disgraceful."
"Since the heavens have sent this fruit to me, then it must be for me to eat!"
"I can not disappoint the heavens!"
Vlad stood up and raised the fiery red devil fruit. He smiled and said, "I'm going to eat!"
"Ugh..."
Vlad forced himself to take a few bites and threw the rest of the fruit aside with a pale face. He knelt on the ground and retched.
As expected of something that Luffy regarded as unpalatable. Was there anything in the world that was worse than this thing? There was no more, perhaps there was no more?
It was like a nightmare. Vlad did not even have the courage to recall. It was too terrifying. Fortunately, he only needed to take a bite. Otherwise, based on this smell, the number of people in the sea would be less than half.
After a long time, the nightmarish smell finally dissipated. Vlad was lying on the beach, gasping for breath. He was not as tired as he was now after a big battle with Snack. Really.
"Eh? I'm feeling it!"
Vlad felt the changes in himself. He sat up and raised his right hand. Fiery red scales grew out from the back of his hand, looking very tough.
"Well!"
"It seems to be like this?"
Vlad said to himself. He found that there was a strange power in his body. He could naturally control this power. Needless to say, this was naturally the power of the devil fruit.
With a thought, a strange change suddenly appeared.
Vlad's entire right hand and elbow joints were covered in fiery red scales. His palm was the same. His fingers became extremely thick, and there were even extremely sharp and hard curved fingernails growing out of them.
"Oh!"
Vlad looked at his arm carefully. "So handsome!"
"Mm, my strength has actually increased by so much?"
Vlad was a little surprised. His right arm had received a tremendous boost in strength after using the Beast Transformation ability. It had probably already reached twice as much as before. What kind of terrifying data was this?
"The Zoan type is indeed the best choice for body techniques experts." Vlad could not help but think of this.
"Chi!"
Flames, golden flames suddenly ignited. On Vlad's right hand, which was covered in scales, a fierce flame ignited.
"Wahaha! This is too interesting!" said Vlad with a smile.
Vlad gently threw out a punch. There was no additional domineering aura, nor was there much strength. He only tried his best to mobilize the power of the flame.
A huge pillar of fire roared out, and in the blink of an eye, it had already hit the surface of the sea.
"Boom!"
All of a sudden, a thousand layers of waves were stirred up, and a huge concave was created on the surface of the sea. A huge amount of water was instantly evaporated, and the water vapor immediately enveloped the entire sea, making it look like a vast expanse of white.
"Wahahaha!"
Vlad laughed, "I've struck it rich! Zoan Type, Mythical Beast Type, Fire Dragon Fruit!"
