After spending a little time in the inner world and giving some instructions, August left.
The current inner world was still too small, twenty people were already quite a crowd. As for them, with not much to do every day, life was rather dull. Therefore, in addition to some food, August left some books and electronic devices to help them pass the time.
Upon returning, August found several people in the living room. Among them, Sona was sitting there continuously spitting something into the trash can.
Seeing that one devil fruit was missing from the table, August suddenly understood. Sona had eaten one of the devil fruits and was now feeling nauseous from the taste.
This was no big deal. Kame Kame no Mi and Hebi Hebi no Mi were still there, only Ushi Ushi no Mi was missing.
"August, what kind of fruit is this? Why does it taste so bad? I've never eaten anything so awful before."
As Sona spoke, she thought of the taste from earlier and vomited again.
However, even though it was uncomfortable, the devil fruit would be absorbed once it entered the mouth. No matter how much she vomited, she couldn't get it out.
"That thing isn't a fruit, it's a special kind of fruit."
"A special kind of fruit?"
"The Devil Fruit."
"Devil Fruit?"
Sona suddenly looked at August with confusion. A fruit created by devils? Meanwhile, Tsubaki, who was beside her, also looked at August in confusion. However, when she looked at the two remaining devil fruits on the table, a hint of relief flashed in her eyes. Fortunately, she didn't eat it, otherwise, she could understand Sona's current state.
August also noticed that, besides Sona and Tsubaki, there was another person nearby. With golden curly hair and dressed in a gown, she looked like a delicate princess. The noble aura on her made a good first impression.
"The Devil Fruit is the secret treasure of the sea, the incarnation of the sea devil. Eating it will grant different abilities."
"The incarnation of the sea devil? The secret treasure of the sea? Different abilities?"
Sona was full of question marks. However, just as she was about to ask about the 'abilities,' she suddenly felt some strange changes happening in her body.
As a devil, although her body wasn't extremely resilient, as a high-class devil, her physical qualities were still quite high. However, in just a few breaths, her strength and physical qualities increased geometrically. Not only that, the biggest pain in her body also began to change.
The originally B-cup 'weapons' were rapidly growing at a visible speed.
In the blink of an eye, they surpassed Tsubaki, becoming comparable to Rias.
This scene stunned the two women on the side, especially the younger one, the just budding Ravel, who was truly shocked.
"Ah! What on earth is happening?"
Sona was also taken aback by the sudden change in her body, panic evident on her face. After all, such a drastic change in her body would make anyone worry.
However, her reaction made Ravel and Tsubaki look at her with resentment. What do you mean by this?
The once ordinary Sona suddenly became outstanding. The change was too great, and now, August became the target of everyone's arrows.
"Don't look at me like that. The fruit Sona ate was the Zoan-type Devil Fruit, Model Cow, transforming into the form of a cow."
"Model Cow..."
"Cow form."
Tsubaki and Ravel, one after the other, spoke and locked their gaze firmly on Sona's breast.
Because, as everyone knows, cows are known for producing milk, and now Sona...
Thud~
Bang~
Two violent bumps directly landed on the heads of the two women. Their gazes were too revealing.
Sona, who already had thin skin, immediately became both angry and embarrassed. However, when she looked at August, her eyes were also filled with dissatisfaction.
Why did you casually put something like this around, and so conspicuously?
"It's you who ate my devil fruit. I haven't said anything yet, and now you're planning to blame me?"
"I..."
Sona was suddenly silenced. Indeed, she had stolen and eaten it herself. When it came down to it, she couldn't blame August.
"Well, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. Zoan-type devil fruits, after consumption, transform the consumer into the corresponding animal. You are a devil, and now you have gained the power of a cow, which is a good thing."
"A milk cow~"
Sona murmured. If it were something else, it would be fine, but this was a cow.
"No, don't look at me like that. Zoan-type devil fruits can significantly enhance physical qualities, overall improving stamina, recovery, and more."
"I am a devil, using magic, not a warrior."
How is he supposed to deal with this? August was also quite speechless. But, what can you do when a mage eats a Zoan-type devil fruit?
"Devil fruits have infinite possibilities. Through your own development, you might even develop a magical cow form."
"But it's still a cow~"
Can't get past this, huh? August was quite troubled.
Meanwhile, Tsubaki and Ravel, their gazes fell on the two devil fruits on the table.
Sona's 'improvement' was too obvious, causing them to naturally have similar thoughts.
"Don't look at those two. One is Model Turtle, and the other is Model Python. If you like them, you can go ahead and eat."
Hearing that they were model Turtle and Python, both Tsubaki and Ravel rejected them with displeased expressions.
In comparison, these two devil fruits were indeed better than model Cow. But the 'enhancement' of model Cow was too significant, stirring the interest of any woman.
"There's one more thing, Sona. Devil fruits have a huge drawback."
"Drawback?"
"Yes, devil fruits are the secret treasures of the sea. However, those who eat devil fruits are cursed by the sea, once you touch seawater, you will lose all your strength."
"What? Can't touch seawater?"
Sona was suddenly shocked, this weakness was too significant. Devils already feared the power of light and holiness, and now, she had added a fear of seawater.
Seawater, unlike magical energy, was an infinite resource in the ocean. If someone seized upon this weakness, she would be in big trouble.
"Is there a way to solve it?"
"I don't know about this either. I just obtained these devil fruits recently and haven't researched the specifics."
"How is that possible?"
Sona immediately slumped on the sofa. While other things could be discussed, this weakness was too fatal.
