Popov saw the Devil Fruit take shape before his eyes.
One of the many apples in a bowl near him had changed in appearance becoming purple with swirl patterns covering it.
Two pointed leaves were poking out from the top like tiny decorations.
Being X used their godly powers to direct one of several Devil Fruit abilities that had yet to manifest in the world toward the apple.
It was similar to directing a soul into a body but much simpler.
Popov picked up the apple admiring it for some time. "So it is..."
He was shocked that the entity calling themselves god could grant him such a thing like it was nothing to them.
There was no hesitation in his next actions as he took the apple setting it on a plate in front of him.
He picked up the knife and fork and he began to cut into it before placing it in his mouth. "Urk.."
The taste was quite unpleasant but he kept pushing it down him.
A surge of unknown power spread through his body all of a sudden and his body seemed strange.
It was almost foreign as if his body was what he had known before. "This power..."
As if understanding how he should do it guided by some unspeakable force, he started to transform his body.
His skin became tougher, thicker, and rougher while it changed in color too becoming more pink.
The shape of a couple of his body parts changed allowing him to change his hands and feet into different shapes.
His face changed its shape as a large snout grew out and the position of his ears changed to higher up on his head as they changed shape too.
A twisted short tail came out from behind him as he took on the appearance of a half man and half pig.
He began to change once again as his body underwent a more drastic change.
He had become the complete appearance and shape of a pig but his clothing remained on his body and some small features remained like his short red hair and blue eyes.
The nesting doll spoke again. "It is god's will for you to receive such gifts. Use them to make the others respect you. My followers are out there and can assist you further."
