"What age is it?"

- Just this sentence made the cold sweat on Klockdahl and Caesar's heads even more.

They are the kind of people who have seen a lot of things, but they have never seen anything like it!

And then, a scene that made the two feel even more weird appeared.

The sculpture, which called itself "Evan Lindsay", actually began to move its body.

Starting with the fingers, then the joints of the whole body, all began to tremble slightly, while tearing cracks in the surface of the stone.

Click-la-la-la-la......

Fragments of rubble fell one by one, revealing a human-colored body.

At the same time, an indescribable aura instantly permeated the entire laboratory!

Klockdahl and Caesar were stunned at the same time, because they both recognized the truth of that breath—

Overlord color domineering!

In the cracks of this sculpture, there is a domineering overlord color!

This stone can also be king?!

The next moment-

Swish!

The sculpture jumped up, broke free from the shackles of the stone behind it, and landed steadily in an "unreserved" appearance.

The stones were scattered all around, and the chaotic and mottled overlord-colored domineering spirit gradually dissipated.

As for the "sculpture", his posture is like the most perfect mannequin, and there is not the slightest flaw.

“……”

The sculpture carved into the text of history turned out to be ...... Lived?!

Incomprehensible!

And more importantly, what kind of monster is this creation from "antiquity"?!

Klockdahl raised his hands for battle, and Caesar was ready to flee.

In the next second, the self-proclaimed "Evan Lindsay" sculpture shifted and began to act.

Mix your left foot with your right foot.

Poof!

He fell heavily to the ground.

Klocodahl: "? ”

Caesar: "? ”

The two of them looked at each other suspiciously, and looked at Evan Lindsay.

Is this man a child, why can't he even walk?

"Wait a minute."

Lindsay spoke, then slowly stood up, mimicking the movements of the two people in front of her, readjusting her steps.

It only took a few breaths for Lindsay to fully gain a foothold, and then looked at the two of them frankly.

He couldn't hide the joy in his heart, raised his hands high, bent his elbows, and said excitedly sideways:

"Okay, I will!"

Klocodahl: "? ”

Caesar: "? ”

How does it feel...... A little off?

It was a sculpture before the "blank 100 years", from the hands of ancient people, and it was even filled with the domineering color of the overlord!

But why did his words and actions seem so "normal" when the sculpture came to life?

The two looked at "Evan Lindsay".

"Evan Lindsay" was also looking at the two people in front of him.

Well, recognize.

【Sand Crocodile】Crocodall, as well as Caesar Courant.

He knew about what year it was......

……

Lindsay, full name: Evan Lindsay.

Traverser.

After a period of observation, he confirmed that he had come to the world of One Piece.

But now there are two tricky issues.

One, is that the year he crossed a little early.

The first year of the Haiyuan calendar.

The time when the calendar was just introduced.

The other is that he crossed into a "stone".

Located on an unknown mountain, overlooking the island, the village, and the sea.

Fortunately, because it is a stone, Lindsay's perception of "time" is very vague, and it is exposed to the wind and sun, year after year.

Many, many years have passed.

Suddenly, one day, Lindsay found that someone had dug her out of the mountain.

What are they going to do?

I don't know, so Lindsey observes everything dimly.

The sea calendar is 550 years old.

In those chaotic times, the countries of the sea were fighting endlessly!

As a hard "boulder", Lindsay's memory is slightly blurred, but she has also experienced many things.

It vaguely remembers—

It was used by the nobles of the kingdom as the foundation for the construction of the palace;

It was also used as a weapon to smash city walls;

A warrior died on it, and blood flowed;

There are also refugees devastated by the cold wind, hiding beside it, shivering;

There are warriors who use it as a signpost and cry out to the people;

There are rogues who use it to bury treasure and hide greed;

And also......

to, 620 years of the sea calendar.

Another group took Lindsay.

They call themselves the Kwanggetsu clan and come from Wano Country, hoping to record the true history.

So, along with the other boulders, Lindsay was forged and beaten, and finally became many indestructible stone tablets!

If everything is in order, then Lindsay's body should also be engraved with the text of history.

History is always interesting, though.

Lindsay couldn't remember the details.

But in short, there was a certain young man who asked the Guangyue clan for a stone tablet to use to do another thing.

Lindsey was taken somewhere by the youth, and then carved into a humanoid sculpture by the youth on one side.

Somewhere, there was a group of people, facing Lindsay, praying earnestly.

They crushed a Devil Fruit into juice and smeared it on Lindsay, seeking a response.

I don't know how long they prayed, but Lindsay had a faint feeling.

But at this moment, a huge roar rang out, and a monstrous wave hit, drowning everything around it, and nothing was there.

Lindsay sank to the bottom of the sea.

He slept in a daze, until the water around him receded, and he finally regained consciousness.

Lindsay heard someone talking.

"Wow, this is a wonderful discovery!"

“……”

"Who is he?"

“……”

"Who are you?"

“……”

At this point, Lindsay finally came to her senses!

He was unwilling to give up this rare opportunity, desperately trying to grasp that "feeling", and finally let the rocks on his body loosen and break free.

After more than 1,500 years of living in stone, Lindsay forgot how to stand.

Like a child, he imitated the movements of the two people in front of him, and finally stood firm.

There is a light in the eye.

After calculating the time, he should have been a "stone" for 1,500 years.

Although most of this period was in a state of confusion, when the status quo of "freedom" was in front of her, Lindsay was extremely yearning.

Fifteen hundred years later, the age of the pirates!

Lindsey was eager to see a time she was so familiar with, but never really seen!

……

Lindsey was excited.

On a whim, he began to move his body to enjoy the touch of his skin passing through the air.

This scene fell in the eyes of Klockdahl, but it was really a little difficult to evaluate.

A frank man with no clothes on, a "living sculpture" with an almost perfect figure, actually started stretching gymnastics?!

The huge confusion made Klockdahl's brain a little dizzy for a while.

But he quickly adjusted, wanting to learn more through Caesar.

"Hey, Caesar?"

“……”

"Caesar!"

Seeing that no one responded, Klockdahl immediately turned his head, but where was the shadow of Caesar?

Looking sideways, I saw that Caesar had escaped from the laboratory at some point, and at the same time pressed the button to seal the entire laboratory.

Whew!

The ventilation ducts hummed, and lilac gas wafted in, beginning to permeate the surroundings.

"Wow, I didn't expect to gain so much today, so let me study it!"

"I'm going to anesthetize you first, and then I'm going to study it slowly."

"[Sand Crocodile], just take the charge of stealing the text of history and be imprisoned in the city for me! Woohoo Woo ......"

“……”

"Hehe, it's really a scumbag."

Seeing the anesthetic gas slowly coming in, Klockdahl realized that the lab could not stay any longer.

He didn't plan to make a big deal out of it, and as a natural Devil Fruit ability, a mere laboratory couldn't trap him.

Can......

Caesar had a hand in his hand, and it was not in his character to leave like this.

Do you want to study that "Evan Lindsay"? Then I'll take him away!

Such a strange "person" must be involved in a lot of secrets, maybe it has something to do with ancient weapons.

"Hehehehehe......"

Klockdahl smirked and turned his head again, only to find that Lindsay had disappeared too!

"Isn't it?!"

He looked up at the vents in the ceiling, but there were only finger-sized gaps that ordinary humans would never be able to pass through.

This was also the original route of Klocodahl's infiltration.

Klockdahl was stunned: "He's already in the ventilation duct?" ”

"No, no, I can't squeeze in."

Lindsay's voice came, and it turned out to be at the feet of Crocodall.

The latter looked down and found that the floor of the laboratory had been torn open.

Lindsay's body was submerged in it, leaving only a head, but it looked leisurely, as if she was swimming in the dirt.

Klockdahl suddenly realized, "You are...... Devil Fruit Abilities? ”

Lindsay nodded, "Yes." ”

Wanting more information, Klockdahl asked, "What fruit?" ”

"Devil Fruit."

Klockdahl frowned slightly, "I know it's a devil fruit, I ask you what kind of fruit it is?" ”

Lindsey blinked, slightly innocent, and said, "Yes, Devil Fruit." ”

The corners of Klockdahl's eyes twitched, and he was about to reprimand angrily, but suddenly he thought of something, and he couldn't help but freeze in place.

"Demonic ...... Fruit? ”

"Hmm."

Lindsey smiled and nodded, lying on her back in the dirt, like a tourist on the beach.

"Devil Fruit."

"—Human Fruit, Phantom Beast Species, Demon Form."

Lindsay blinked.

Klockdahl noticed that Lindsay's pupils had changed at this moment.

Six short lines are arranged in two columns, replacing the originally round pupils, which looks very strange.

Lindsay, with strange pupils, continued to explain:

"The man who carved me smeared the juice of the Devil Fruit all over my body, and the juice slowly went deep and allowed me to possess the power of the Devil Fruit."

"Over the years, I've come up with a lot of usages, but after all, I don't have enough practice, so I'm not very proficient."

At this point, Lindsay's body changed.

His limbs began to grow thicker, his skin turned crimson, and even two dark green horns appeared on his head.

Such a alien appearance is indeed in line with the performance of the animal phantom beast species!

Lindsay's voice was low and hoarse, and she grinned:

"The ability I'm using now is called 'Dikui'."

"Also known as the Demon of the Earth."
