Chapter III: Freedom
In the near future, Vegapunk, the "world's No. 1 scientist", will discover the ability conversion conditions of the Devil Fruit, and finally let the "thing" also eat the Devil Fruit, and then obtain different abilities.
Note that it is "discovery" and not "invention".
The so-called "discovery" also means that it existed in the first place, but no one has systematically summarized it for the time being.
Because of this, in that distant and mysterious ancient time, a certain young man smeared the "sculpture" with the juice of the Devil Fruit, and finally made the sculpture "eat" the Devil Fruit.
Evan Lindsey has since become a sculpture with the ability of "Human Fruit, Phantom Beast Species, and Demon Form"!
β¦β¦
During that long time, it was indeed an interesting pastime to study one's own fruit abilities.
The development of Devil Fruits largely depends on the imagination of the person with the ability itself.
Many records have proved that the same fruit is eaten by different people, and the degree and direction of development will be completely different!
Demon.
These two words lingered in Lindsay's mind, and finally derived the appearance of the "Eight Demons" in his memory!
Dikui, Howling Wind, Zhongsu, Ximu, Bazaar, Bogang, Holy Lord, Mantra Blue.
They represent eight different supernatural abilities!
Earth, wind, thunder, sky, water, mountains, fire, moon.
The complexity of these capabilities is beyond imagination.
Ordinary people, even if they are extremely poor all their lives, cannot fully grasp them!
Luckily, Lindsay has a little more time than the average person.
The waves hit and Lindsay sank to the bottom of the sea.
It was extremely bored, and in that long time, it constantly imagined its own fruit ability, went through countless deductions, and finally extended a very large number of "theories".
However, as a stone, Lindsay could not practice.
Until todayβ
Lindsay is no longer submerged in the sea, and finally acquires a "human" body.
He had so many theories he wanted to try.
The first thing that bore the brunt of it was the "impulse" that surged up when he stepped on the earth for the first time.
Demonic form.
The Demon of the Earth - [Dikui]!
The brownish-red skin and body are also thickened a few times, and it looks more robust.
In particular, there are two pairs of dark green ghost horns on the head, which shows the characteristics of the "phantom beast species" to the fullest!
β¦β¦
"Phantom Beast ......"
Klockdahl looked at Lindsay at the moment, and his heart was slightly fluctuating.
There are so many anecdotes about this sea.
But even so, a "person" who jumped out of the ancient stone tablet is a little too bizarre.
But at the same time, Klockdahl is good at seizing opportunities.
The existence of "Evan Lindsay" is definitely a big news that can cause a sensation in this ocean.
Klockdahl must seize the opportunity and contact Lindsay first!
So, without hesitation, Crocodall abandoned his original escape route and moved with Lindsay instead.
"Let's go."
Crocodall, who is a person with the ability of the Sand Fruit, immediately elementalized his body and burrowed into the ground that was torn apart by Lindsay.
Lindsey also sank to the canvas again, opening the way in front of him, with Klockdahl close behind.
He carefully observed the way Lindsey used his abilities.
In the middle of the earth, Lindsay was like a swimming fish, and all the earth and stones were fragile in front of him.
With his thick red hands, he could easily tear apart the earth and stones in front of him and open up an underground passage.
ββ¦β¦β
Klockdahl was thinking.
Earth, rock, and gravel, to a certain extent, are similar.
If you use the Rustling Fruit ability with all your might, you will activate the "Erosion Reincarnation" to suck up the water in the surrounding land and turn them into gravel.
Then, Klockdahl can also "dig" a way into the ground.
But he's not good at that, so he won't do it.
β¦β¦
About a few minutes later.
I don't know how far Lindsay dug underground.
All Klockdahl knew was that the lights in the lab were no longer visible, and the entire underground passage was pitch black.
He could only elementalize his body, turning into a puddle of gravel, and followed Lindsay closely.
Crash!
Lindsay suddenly reached out and slammed upwards, separating the layer of soil above the two of them.
The sun from the outside world shone on the faces of the two.
The two of them came out of it one after another.
Klockdahl looked around and saw that the research institute on the island was already far away from the two of them.
He was about to speak, but turned his head to see Lindsay lying directly on his back on the grass next to him, breathing in the fresh air.
The current Punk Hazard has not yet experienced Caesar's poison gas experiments, as well as the battle between the two generals of Pheasant and Akainu, so the environment is excellent and the birds are singing and fragrant.
"Haha, that's a pleasure!"
Dikui's form faded, and Lindsay's body returned to perfect normality.
He lay on his back and laughed, "The feeling of freedom is amazing!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Klockdahl looked at this scene, and only felt that the other party was a little too free.
As a "sculpture", Lindsay's body is comparable to the pinnacle of the masters, and the lines of the muscles are pleasing to the eye.
But as a "living person", Lindsay he ......
No clothes on.
Lying naked on the ground, almost like a perfect work of art.
But after all, it happened suddenly, where to find clothes?
Crocodall didn't want to waste his fur coat, so he had to endure the weird feeling and let Lindsay go.
So what's next......
Woo ββ!!!
As he pondered, an alarm suddenly sounded throughout the Punk Hazard Island, and the red signal lights lit up on the laboratory.
"Tsk, Caesar, that scumbag, really dare to make a big deal out of it......"
Klockdahl's brow furrowed slightly.
Originally, I just wanted to grab Caesar's handle and further lay out the underground world, but due to the appearance of Evan Lindsay, everything began to go off the rails!
Who would have thought that the ancient stone tablet that Caesar fished out of the sea would turn into a "person"?!
As soon as Lindsay leaves, Caesar can directly erase his handle if he does some more tricks, and he can also threaten Klockdahl by the way!
"But it doesn't hurt."
"Hehehehehe......"
Klockdahl smiled gloomily.
It's just Caesar, of course, it's not as valuable as Evan Lindsay!
"Let's go!"
He waved his hand to Lindsay, who was not far away, and said:
"My ship is on the southwest coast, and I'll take you out to sea!"
"Okay!"
When Lindsay heard this, her eyes lit up.
He has been a stone for too long, and now he has the opportunity to go to that vast sea, which he naturally can't ask for!
The waist and abdomen were strained, a carp stiffened, and Lindsay jumped up from the ground.
Just as he was about to keep up with Klockdahl, but he didn't want to step out of the way, the ground suddenly began to tremble.
Klockdahl was stunned and asked Lin Circuit: "You did it?" β
"It's not."
Lindsay shook her head, her eyes turning in the direction from which the tremors were coming from.
Immediately, a deafening roar resounded in the ears of the two of them!
"Roar ββββ!!!"
Lindsey and Crocodall looked for prestige, and their eyes turned to the air, where they saw a huge figure spitting flames.
It was a huge red dragon, with exaggerated teeth and wings, and it was swooping down at high speed towards the two people on the ground with its teeth grinning!
"Woohoo!"
Caesar's laughter was heard, and a body made of gas appeared not far from the two of them.
He spotted the two of them escaping the lab and chased them after them.
At the same time, one of the many defense systems of Punk Hazard was activated!
"This is an artificial creature created by Vegapunk, a punk dragon!"
"Woohoo!"
"Don't be in such a hurry, sand crocodile."
Caesar smiled sinisterly: "Why don't you do me another favor and test the works of Vegapunk?" β
