Chapter 457 Changing Fate Against Heaven

...

"Clap clap clap!"

"Good good!"

Ger said, clapping.

Pedro, who received the captain's affirmation, also smiled happily.

"Keep going. Most people can develop to the awakened state in two years. Try your best and challenge yourself. Try to develop your fruit to the awakened state next year!"

Gel clenched his right fist, hit his chest twice, then pointed at Pedro and said.

"I'm counting on you, Pedro!"

"captain!"

Although Pedro didn't understand what this action meant, he still inexplicably felt the power of being trusted!

"Captain! I will definitely do it! I will not let you down!"

Little Pedro, who had no idea what fruit awakening was, nodded and agreed on impulse when Captain Gill spoke about it so casually.

Pedro naively thought that if he doubled his efforts and accomplished in one year what others could do in two years, it shouldn't be difficult, right?

Gel thought to himself:

First, cultivate a strong physique, powerful domineering and physical skills.

Then the Thunder Armor Mode was developed, with all the attributes of strength, defense, speed, etc. improved! It was like going into second gear!

Adding the animal-type beastman form, all attributes are raised to another level! That is level three!

Then turn on the Moon Lion form, and all attributes will be greatly improved by one level! It is the fourth level!

If there is an animal awakening form! All attributes will be raised by one level again, this is definitely the fifth level!

Wow, wow! If I can really achieve Thunder Armor Mode + Moon Lion Form + Animal Awakening in the future, I feel like I can fight anyone! There is a chance to kick out the finale!

I have to ask Kurokas to help develop a drug similar to the Rumble Ball, so that the Minks don't have to wait for the full moon to appreciate the moon before they can activate the Moon Lion state. The passive skills will become active, and the practicality will be greatly improved!

"Hehehe! Interesting! Let's go all out!!"

Gel gave a somewhat creepy smile.

"Here! Pokmous, this is for you!"

The wealthy Captain Gel searched his treasure house with his mind, then took out a khaki-colored devil fruit in the shape of a cat's head with two particularly prominent canine teeth and handed it to the little lion.

It is the animal type that has also completed its mission. The ancient species of the Cat-Cat Fruit. The saber-toothed tiger form!

For Gel, whether a person's talent is worth cultivating is secondary. The most important thing is to look at his character. Reliable character is more important than anything else. The Minks are very loyal and righteous, and Pedro, Jepo and Pokumus are outstanding representatives among them.

So even though the three of them are still young, Captain Geller still feels that they are trustworthy.

"Captain, what about this?"

Pokumus looked at the devil fruit that was forced into his hand at a loss.

"Oh, this is the Animal-type Cat-Cat Fruit. It's an ancient saber-toothed tiger."

Geer downplayed it.

"What? Such a precious thing!"

When Pokumus heard that it was a precious ancient devil fruit, his hands trembled a little.

"Devil fruits are meant to be used by humans. Although they are only distantly related to lions, as the saying goes, relatives are still relatives. There is some blood relationship between them, so you can just use them."

"No compromise! Not at all! Thank you, Captain Gill!"

Pokmous, who was just impressed by Pedro's handsome transformation, expressed his gratitude with excitement.

"Eat, why are you still standing there?"

Ger gestured.

"Okay Captain! Thank you so much!"

...

"Ah, ugh! It tastes so bad!"

"Hoohoho!"

After Pokumus ate the devil fruit, he let out a lion's roar and transformed into a beastman more than two meters tall.

"Wahahaha! Captain! Pedro! Jepo, look at how handsome I am!"

The younger and less stable Pokmous screamed with joy.

Gel stroked his chin and looked carefully at Pokmus in front of him. He felt that this image looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"Ok?"

Isn't this the Leomon from a cartoon I watched when I was a kid? It just has two giant canine teeth like a saber-toothed tiger, making it look even more majestic.

"Not bad!"

Gel once again smiled with satisfaction at his masterpiece.

Jie Bo looked up at the two tall and mighty orc forms, and he couldn't hide the envy in his eyes.

"Jebo, wait a moment. Let me, the captain, find something suitable for you to eat."

Captain Gill certainly had no reason to forget about him alone.

"Ah, I...I don't need that, Captain."

Jie Bo spoke hesitantly, with a hint of hesitation on his face.

"It's alright, it's just an Animal-type Devil Fruit. I still have some in stock Captain."

As Gel said this, he sat on the ground and continued to search.

"Hmm? Which one is more suitable?"

In his left hand, Gel holds a giraffe form of the Bull-Bull Fruit, in his right hand, a gray wolf form of the Dog-Dog Fruit, and two Snake-Snake Fruits on his thighs, but his face has a sad expression.

Gel's brain was working rapidly, and he finally put down the giraffe fruit on his left hand and said.

"I haven't read many books, but this bear and dog should be somewhat related, right? Here, Jie Bo, this is for you. This is the Gray Wolf form of the Dog-Dog Fruit!"

"Captain, I'm sorry! I decided not to eat the devil fruit after all."

Jie Bo said with determination.

"Oh? Why? Don't you like this one?"

It was indeed a bit far-fetched to say that wolves and bears had a relationship, so Captain Gel was not angry when he was rejected. He stood up, patted his butt and said.

"It's okay. Captain, I'll give it to you next time I get a bear devil fruit."

"No, Captain Gill, it's not that I don't like this devil fruit. I just think that since Pedro and Pokumus are both powerful people now, it's better for me not to eat the devil fruit. If one of them accidentally falls into the sea during a fight, there has to be someone to pull them out. That's what I think, hehe!"

After saying this, Jie Bo scratched his head and laughed foolishly.

The three of them were stunned when they heard this.

"Jebo, you kid!"

Gel stretched out his right hand as if to strike.

"I'm sorry, Captain! If I really can't help it, I'll just eat it. Please don't be angry!"

Not daring to dodge, Jie Bo could only close his eyes to escape.

"Snapped!"

Ger patted his broad shoulder and laughed.

"Good job, Jerbo!"

"Ah~?"

Jie Bo was stunned for a moment and then laughed.

"Hehehe, Captain, I hope you're not mad at me!"

"Jebo! Damn it! You tricked me!"

"That's right! You bastard! Why are you suddenly saying such sentimental things! Damn it! Haruqiu~Haruqiu!"

Pedro and Pokmuse, who had exited their orc forms, uttered harsh words while tears welled up in their eyes as they excitedly hugged Jiebo and rubbed against each other in a friendly manner.

Geer silently lit a cigarette and stood aside, watching the scene in front of him quietly.

"What good little ghosts they are! Why must their lives be shorter than each other just to pave the way for us? Each of them died more miserably than the other."

Ger sighed to himself.

"The key is that the people he saved at the cost of his own life don't seem to have much gratitude, and they didn't even look back!"

Therefore, if you are not strong enough, don’t get too close to people with the aura of the protagonist, unless you become a crew member who can share the undead buff, otherwise no matter whether you are a relative or a good friend, you will be sacrificed in minutes.

"Hehehe!"

The stronger your strength, the harder your fate! I don't know if I can defy fate, but since you call me Captain, let me help you change your fate!

Gel squinted his eyes, smiled, and slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke.
