Chapter 328
Regarding the Animal Devil Fruit, the Mythical Beast Fruit is superior to the ordinary Animal Devil Fruit from the beginning. It is what it is. Dragon Fruit is Dragon Fruit. Even if it is preceded by the word "Fish Fruit", intelligent creatures will only turn into a dragon after eating it.
Kozuki Momonosuke turned into a pink dragon after eating the Devil Fruit, just like Kaido turned into a blue dragon after eating the Mythical Beast Fruit. However, today this boy turned into a fish, which surprised the audience. The Return to Nature potion made by Orochimaru could actually achieve this effect, turning a particularly awesome Mythical Beast Fruit into a particularly rubbish ordinary fruit.
The boy turned into a pink carp and kept flopping on the ground. Such a change made it difficult for him to adapt. He didn't want to become a useless fish. In addition to swimming in the sea, fish can also have what kind of combat power. Compared with the Dragon Fruit, it is simply a world of difference.
"It's the effect of that potion. I'm a dragon, not a fish. Change me back quickly."
Kozuki Momonosuke was really anxious. He was tricked by the bad adults again. He knew that Buggy the Clown would not come up with any good ideas. It's not so easy to change back to a dragon.
"The devil fruit you ate is most likely a replica made by Vegapunk based on Kaido's bloodline factor. If you want to avenge your father and defeat the treasure with a replica, you need to make more efforts."
Buggy the Clown pointed to the man-made thousand-meter waterway. This is a game facility he specially made for Kozuki Momonosuke. It is a training game called Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate. As for whether he will die in this game, it is not something an adult should care about.
If Kozuki Momonosuke did not pass Buggy the Clown's screening, the boy would not be worthy of standing next to him, let alone the Kozuki clan he was waiting for. They don't need a weak person or a trash.
The man can only use this violent means to force the growth of seedlings. He does not have more time to wait for Kozuki Momonosuke to grow up. He needs to compress this growth process. If he is not the material, then he will be wasted.
Because the next thousand years are coming. If you miss this critical node, all the preparations made by Buggy the Clown will be wasted. If you wait for the next thousand years, it will be too long. Even if you can live to that time node, the man's ambitions will be wiped out, and he will become a conservative person who does not want to make progress like other old monsters.
Through the other party's words, Kozuki Momonosuke roughly understood the content of his training. Buggy the Clown wanted the boy to become a fish swimming in the sea and climb up the infinitely steep waterway. But is there any reward for reaching the top? There is only a bare artificial rock wall above, and there seems to be no benefit in training this content.
"Are you kidding me, Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate? The steepness of the waterway is close to ninety degrees. What kind of fish can reach the top and swim up? It simply does not exist, okay?"
After the boy finished speaking, he removed the devil fruit ability from his body and returned from the beast state to the human state. Orochimaru's potion did not target this. Kozuki Momonosuke's fantasy beast fruit degenerated into an ordinary animal fruit. If he still maintains this mentality, he will stay in this state for the rest of his life.
Buggy will not give him the right to choose. In the territory of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a person of a fallen country has no right to negotiate. The clown laughed contemptuously: "Since you don't want to go down, I will send you a way, so that the fishy smell on your body will stay away from me, and return to the embrace of the mother ocean!"
The man made a finger-snapping motion with his right hand, and a powerful splitting ability swept accurately under the boy's feet. Before Kozuki Momonosuke could react, the ground under his feet instantly separated from the main island and fell down with people.
"Ah... Do you want to kill me!? There is a sea below"
Kozuki Momonosuke had no grip around him, so he could only scream and feel the rapid fall. Once the devil fruit ability user came into contact with the sea water, he would instantly become powerless and sink to the bottom of the sea.
In a hurry, the boy activated the power of the devil fruit in his body. When his body was about to approach the sea surface, he turned from a human into a pink carp. Seeing this scene, Buggy the Clown couldn't help but tease: "Be smarter than your father and know how to adapt. Turn into a fish to cross that chasm."
A pink fish desperately floated to the surface. Kozuki Momonosuke almost thought he was going to die, but the current crisis has not been resolved. Although the fish fruit gave the boy the ability to breathe and swim in the sea.
But the sea is still a jealous stepmother. Kozuki Momonosuke has to consume his physical strength exponentially to keep his fish body floating on the sea surface. He has the risk of sinking to the bottom if he swims a little, not to mention participating in the entertainment facilities of the carp leaping over the dragon gate. Buggy the Clown has come up withWhat comes is to make him risk his life and to let him practice with his life. If he fails, he will die.
Buggy, the clown, who is on the shore, bends down to pick up the stone under his feet and throws it at the pink fish in the sea. However, he deliberately grasps the aim. The stone falls into the sea and stirs up a wave, but does not hit Kozuki Momonosuke's body.
"This will be your training project from now on. If you can't complete it today, you can still do it tomorrow. If you can't complete it tomorrow, you can still do it the day after tomorrow. I will only give you half a year at most. Once you exceed my endurance limit, you will be a drowned fish forever."
After that, Buggy handed the stalking task in front of him to Douglas Barrett, the cadre beside him. He has other things to do and has no time to play with Kozuki Oden's son here. The permanent pointer in his hand still needs to be studied.
The other party left without looking back after saying a word. Kozuki Momonosuke kept calling the name of Buggy the Clown in the water, but no one responded to him. As the time spent in the sea gradually increased, the male sea's physical strength was consumed faster and faster. He needed to move now. Only by moving the fish body to consolidate his physical strength could he survive in the sea.
"If you don't move in the sea today, no one will come to rescue you when you sink to the bottom. You must take the first step to have a hope of defeating the goal set by the captain for you."
Barrett was not a gentle person either. He learned from Buggy the Clown, bent down to pick up a stone and threw it into the sea, hitting the ugly pink fish.
Two finger-sized stones broke through the wind and instantly hit Kozuki Momonosuke's fish body. The boy cried out in pain and fell into the sea. A trace of blood was left at the place where the pink fish disappeared. This time, at least dozens of fish scales were knocked off. Barrett really didn't hold back at all.
After recognizing the reality, the injured pink fish tried its best to float on the sea again, flapping its fins and swimming towards the steep cliff. However, this thousand-meter waterway is not so easy to cross.
The carp that can swim through the Dragon Gate are all the chosen ones of heaven. Most of the runners-up will only become food for higher animals. This is the cruelty of natural selection.
