Chapter 842 "The Blessings of Overtime Workers"
Caesar Lane's artificial fruit is very special. Its raw material is a special substance called SAD, which is mixed with the blood of different animals, resulting in an unknown type of SMILE, and no one knows what kind of ability you can get after eating it.
To be precise, most people, including the maker Caesar, don’t know whether eating this fruit can gain abilities. The original MADS didn’t have any requirements for character, and they could join if they had abilities.
Quin still has people in charge, and he has to consider the consequences when doing experiments, but Caesar is different. He doesn't have any bottom limit, and he doesn't care what the consequences will be if he eats it. Anyway, he is not eating himself.
Arceus couldn't determine the species, but he could guarantee that it wouldn't turn into some weird-looking creature after eating it.
"Shaina, find two random people over here, there is something new to try."
"Are there any special requirements?"
"Weaker ones, the ones that seem to have no relationship with the benefactor."
"Yes, I understand, just a moment."
This requirement is not difficult. Today’s Four Emperors have their own large fleets. In addition to elite cadres, there are also many miscellaneous soldiers who fill up the number.
This is also bought with real money, so it can't be wasted casually.
At the same time, outside Ghost Island, two pirates stood guard by the door boredly.
Ghost Island has already popularized the Rotom electronic gate, and the ordinary sentries are all completed by Rotom, but the post of gatekeeper has not been cancelled.
Pirates are not suitable for idle time. There are very few pirates like Mandelfish who live an honest life. In order to let these pirates have something to do, many positions are double-posted by Pokémon and Pirates.
"Ah, Master Kaido is out again, guess which guy is going to be unlucky this time?"
"Who knows, I guess it's the trash navy, but what about the changing of the guard? How long has it been?"
"Understand, those guys had a banquet yesterday and got too drunk, so we agreed to stand a little longer."
"It's been a while, it's almost a day, and I have to let these two guys make up for it tomorrow."
They are pirates after all, unlike the members of the Knights in the monastery, who stand on guard like stakes, and things happen from time to time.
"You two, come in with me."
"Yes, Lady Shaina!"
The two looked at each other. Although they didn't know why, they were always right. Metal doors opened one after another, and the two came to a floor that they had no authority to set foot on at ordinary times.
"Master Holy Beast, people brought it."
After bringing the two of them into the room, Shaina stepped aside to make room.
"Lord Arceus?! Do you have anything to do with us?"
"Yeah, what can we do?"
Although they stay on Ghost Island, they don’t have many chances to get along with captains like this, let alone being called here specially.
"A chance, these are two special devil fruits."
A total of 20 samples were sent by Doflamingo. In the eyes of Arceus, only two samples could be completed, so the success rate of 1/10 was obtained.
"It's unknown what their abilities are, but it must be some kind of animal. Now we need to see the effect after eating it. Are you two willing to try?"
Looking at the two strange-looking apples floating in front of them, neither of them hesitated. After grabbing the fruit, they bit it without hesitation.
This seems to be an experiment, but it is also an opportunity. Arceus has found them. If he refuses now because of timidity, although nothing serious will happen, it will be impossible to meet this opportunity again.
When they took the road of pirates, they knew what they might encounter in the future. No matter how strange the power was, they were willing to give it a try.
The only advantage of the devil fruit made by Caesar may be that it is not so unpalatable. According to the original timeline, Orochi distributed the defective fruits to the villagers of Leak Detection Village. If these fruits still have that unpalatable taste , they will not eat it.
The two fruits disappeared quickly, and no strange organs grew on the two of them, nor did they become weird people who could only laugh.
They just ate the fruit, they haven't mastered that power yet.
"Lord Arceus, now"
"It won't take long to become familiar with the power and then transform."
The two began to feel the power in their bodies. They had never eaten pork, and they had to see pigs run. There are so many animal-type ability users in Hundred Beasts, and they had heard a little about the transformation of their forms.
After a few minutes, their bodies began to swell. One of them became dark, the clothes on his back were torn, and rows of black and white thorns grew out. With this fruit, he gained the ability of a porcupine.
The other person grew black feathers all over his body, and his arms became wings, which seemed to be the ability of a crow.
Except for Alabasta’s Falcon Bell and the fruit transformed by Arceus, other bird fruits will turn their arms into wings, and Caesar’s creation also follows this principle.
Then they switched to the animal form again, possessing the standard three-stage transformation of the animal system.
"Porcupine and crow, it's okay, it's okay, you can do whatever you need to do."
After confirming that there was no problem with the fruit, the two returned to their posts. They didn't understand why they had gained the ability of fruit when they stood on the post for others.
"Can you still get this kind of benefit if you take over the shift?"
"I don't know. It seems that we should work more overtime in the future. Brother Mandelfish may be right. Hard work will always pay off."
The two of them were discussing where to go for a drink to celebrate at night, and not far away, the two of them also walked over with arms tied.
"Harper, Rory, is there anything happy for you two?"
The two of them went out for paddling and fishing, and they came to take over after playing in Baiwu. They thought they would be nagged, but the two of them were so happy that they didn't know what they were talking about.
"What's the matter with your clothes? Why are the back and cuffs still blown?"
"Hahahaha, you two idiots, you don't know what you missed."
Talking about the two transforming again, Harper fiddled with his wings, and Rory studied the thorns on his back to see what effect they could play.
"Those who can??"
"No, weren't you still ordinary people last night?"
"Yes, but during the time you fished, we got a brand new ability.
Not long ago, Lord Arceus and Kaido seemed to have gotten something good again. If you come to shifts on time, wouldn't this ability be yours? "
