Chapter 202: INIIDF-Chapter 199 Mythical Zoan
I am translating a new novel (Multiverse Conquest Starting from Dragon Ball). Read it and support me.
"This is a Devil Fruit!" The Snake Princess watched the three Devil Fruits that the old man had placed on the Island Cloud with great interest.
The three sisters from the Boa family crouched down and each touched one of the fruits.
"Elder sister, what kind of Devil Fruit is this?"
The two younger sisters curiously asked their elder sister.
Hancock replied, "How should I know?"
She looked at Giorno, who had the ability to take away other people's Devil Fruits, right?
Even if he didn't like the fruit after eating it, he could just take the powers back.
So it was safe to eat it without worrying!
Liam looked at the old man Haredas, who was stroking his moustache, and pondered, "I remember these are three Mythical Zoans..."
"Mythical Zoans?"
Liam was surprised; it seemed that these old men, who didn't care about the value of Devil Fruits, had some remarkable items in their collection.
The three sisters were puzzled; among them, Hancock only knew the three major classifications of Logia, Paramecia, and Zoan. She had never even heard of Mythical Zoans.
It was the first time Robin had heard of them as well.
Dragon spoke in a deep voice, "Zoan Devil Fruits, which are Mythical Zoans... are often unique creatures that only exist in myths and stories. For example, dragons, phoenixes, nine-tailed foxes, and even the Great Buddha..."
"Great Buddha?" The Snake Princess pondered, remembering some rumors she had never seen firsthand.
Hancock wondered aloud, "Great Buddha, I feel like I've seen that somewhere..."
She and her two younger sisters turned to the silent Kuma who followed them, looking at the cover of the book he always carried - an image of a saint with a halo behind his head.
"..." Kuma opened the Bible in his hand, turned to the chapter on Buddha, and showed them the illustration, "This is the Great Buddha.
Liam knew that in the pirate world, many different religious beliefs from his former life were completely mixed. Kuma's bible mentioned both "God" and "Buddha". So did Enel's Ark Maxim, which was accompanied by both a golden Buddha head and a nun in Christian garb.
"Aren't these just people?" The three sisters were confused. "Why are they animals, what Mythical Zoans?"
Robin reminded them, "Humans are also a type of animal..."
Liam added, "In the Zoan Fruit, there is the Human-Human Fruit. The Devil Fruit of the Great Buddha is probably a branch of the Mythical Zoans of the Human-Human Fruit, right?"
"Ah?!!"
The three sisters were stunned and could not believe their ears- humans are animals, too?
It was as if they could see monkey-like red fur growing wildly on each other's smooth, pale skin, full of ominous implications...
Robin pondered, "But why do mythical creatures exist inside Devil Fruits?"
She suddenly remembered something and exchanged a look with Liam.
From his expression, Robin understood that he was also thinking about Dr. Vegapunk's research materials, just like she was.
According to the doctor's research, different Devil Fruits are essentially segments of different factors, and these special factors, shaped by unknown technologies, are closely related to the basic genetic material of humans - the "Lineage Factor".
Based on the doctor's research on human lineage factors, he deciphered many "redundant" fragments of information.
Lightning, flames, radiation—these fragments of natural traces; fragments of various animals, and so on... The human Lineage Factor contains an enormous amount of content.
The various Devil Fruit Factors combine with the Lineage Factors, influencing and merging with each other to form the various Logia Devil Fruit Ability users, Zoan Devil Fruit Ability users, and even Paramecia...
Since the Devil Fruit factors are probably artificially created, could it be that these Mythical Zoans were created by adjusting the images of mythical beasts and creatures from stories in the factors?
Let's take the possible Mythical Zoan, the Divine Dragon Fruit, for example...
In mythological legends, it has a snake's body, a pig's head, deer antlers, cow ears, sheep whiskers, eagle claws, and fish scales... so it would only need to be adjusted according to such a "recipe" during production.
Finally, it could add the "superpowers" of being able to fly through the clouds, completing a "Zoan" that exists only in the imagination!
For other Mythical Zoans, if one were to explore, the "recipe" would surely be traceable as well...
Or rather, one could say...
"It is precisely because of the existence of Mythical Zoans that it proves- Devil Fruits are absolutely created by humans!"
Robin and Liam had similar thoughts in their minds at the same time.
...
"Found it, found it!"
A couple of old scientists ran over holding a large book.
"This is the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia."
Haredas opened the thick book in front of everyone.
"Let me see, these three fruits should be in..."
He flipped through the pages, using the index to find the section on Zoan, then narrowed it down to Mythical Zoans.
"Got it!"
Comparing the images, he quickly identified the exact names of the three Devil Fruits taken from the warehouse.
Hancock, Sandersonia, Marigold, Robin, Liam, and B.I.B. all huddled together and leaned over to look at the pictures of the three Devil Fruits in the book, which were indeed remarkably similar to the actual fruits on the Island Cloud.
Comparing the fruits in front of Hancock and the others:
''Zoan・Hebi Hebi No Mi (Snake-Snake Fruit)・Mythical Zoan・Ouroboros - Flying Serpent!''
"Flying?" The second sister, Sandersonia, brightened up.
''Zoan・Hebi Hebi No Mi (Snake-Snake Fruit)・Mythical Zoans・Jormungandr - Serpent of Strength!''
"Strength?" The youngest sister, Marigold, smiled happily.
And...
Hancock snorted in satisfaction and raised his head proudly: "I am very pleased."
''Special Zoan・Hebi Hebi No Mi (Snake-Snake Fruit)・Mythical Zoan・Medusa - Serpent of Domination!''
This was practically a custom-made Devil Fruit for them!
Liam couldn't help but exclaim after reading it: "Mythical Zoans, this is... truly fantastic!"
However, it seemed that no matter how fantastic it was, it couldn't compare to Sengoku's Great Buddha Fruit.
The Snake Princess smiled and said, "If you want to eat, go ahead. The Hebi Hebi No Mi (Snake-Snake Fruit) is quite suitable for our Kuja warriors."
"Mm!"
The two younger sisters of the Boa family nodded vigorously and reached for their favorite Devil Fruits.
Hancock grabbed the fruit of the Serpent of Domination, Medusa, right away.
"Ugh... are you really going to eat that?"
Just looking at it made Liam extremely uncomfortable.
He took out his green Den Den Mushi, which had been slumbering in his pocket, and suggested to the three sisters, "How about letting this little guy eat it? It can eat one while I take one out, and then send it directly into your bodies. Wouldn't that be better?"
"Boo-lu?" Little Green opened his eyes, looking a bit confused.
"..." Robin looked at Liam.
(Translator- I am not changing the names of these devil fruits because I think that they have eaten different fruits than in the original series as non of the sisters ate the mythical zoan fruits. If there is any change in the future then I will rectify it.)
