"Ugh..." Her face alternated between shades of green and purple.
Eating a Devil Fruit for the first time, Iblis's pretty features contorted so much she looked like she wanted to cry.
"The taste is a bit disgusting, but you don't have to eat all of it..." Gently patting Iblis, who had just eaten a small piece of the Mythical Zoan: Nekomata Form fruit and was dry heaving, Ichiji couldn't help but chuckle.
"Your Highness, this is the vilest thing I've ever eaten." After a good while, Iblis finally recovered, leaning against the sofa, her beautiful face tinged with bitterness, clearly full of lingering horror at the Devil Fruit's taste.
"Get up and experience the changes..." Ichiji said with a faint smile, a hint of anticipation in his eyes. He wouldn't dare let Iblis get close to him while she was experimenting with her powers. If it truly was the ability spoken of in legends, he would at least need to use his Dark-Dark Fruit powers beforehand to be prepared.
The power of a Mythical Zoan would absolutely not be inferior to that of a Logia.
"I don't feel anything?" Iblis looked herself up and down, her beautiful eyes blinking lightly, somewhat puzzled and uncomprehending. Wasn't it said that eating a Zoan-type Devil Fruit would allow one to activate its powers and transform into the corresponding animal?
"Silly girl, it's not that fast. It still needs a little time!"
As if by a stroke of inspiration, like an instinct from ancient times, Iblis suddenly adopted a feral posture, pressing both hands to the ground, all fours gripping the floor. But in the next instant, her physique directly transformed.
"Meow——"
Gem-like, emerald-green, clear cat eyes, as if inlaid, exuded a somewhat baleful aura. A giant, two-meter-tall black cat with beautiful azure patterns on its body, a strange azure vertical marking on its forehead, and two azure-patterned tails swaying gently. The massive beast gave off an immense sense of pressure, causing one to involuntarily feel dread.
Swoosh!
A chill ran down his spine. Ichiji, who was just a short distance away, retreated explosively like a bolt of lightning!
A mass of black flames suddenly ignited, enveloping the giant cat, full of eeriness.
"Sshh..." The black flames touched the sofa he had been sitting on moments before, instantly engulfing it. The eerie flames didn't spread, nor did they burn fiercely. The entire sofa, as if aged, disintegrated into fine powder and dispersed.
Ichiji, several meters away, felt no heat whatsoever, but that bizarre scene still couldn't help but make his scalp tingle.
"It's either burning life force or burning souls. It can even destroy inanimate objects that have no life breath. Quite overbearing..."
Staring intently at the black flames continuously coiling around Iblis's giant cat form, although Ichiji was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be inwardly alarmed: "I wonder if Haki can resist this thing."
Swoosh...
The giant black cat suddenly shrank, gradually transforming back into the beautiful figure dressed in maid attire. Iblis's face was somewhat pale: "Your Highness, I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to." She had just lost control of those black flames and nearly injured her Highness!
"It's alright. You just ate the Devil Fruit; it's impossible for you to perfectly control its abilities so quickly." Waving his hand dismissively, Ichiji rubbed his chin with his right hand, sizing up Iblis, who seemed completely unchanged, and asked: "Those black flames, can you control them?"
"Yes, within a certain range, I can..." Clenching her pale fists, Iblis's face showed some excitement and agitation as she nodded. "But the specific abilities are still hidden."
After just transforming, she felt her power had increased by severalfold at least, and this clearly wasn't the limit.
"I remember that in the Whitebeard Pirates, the First Division Commander, 'Phoenix' Marco, in his human-beast form, can control the beastification of every part of his body according to his needs. I just don't know if such fine control is only possible after 'Awakening,' or if it can be done at will from the beginning..." Ichiji suddenly recalled that "Phoenix" Marco seemed to be able to transform just his hands into wings and could use his regenerative blue flames even in human form.
Perhaps Iblis could also use those eerie black flames in her human state. This might be one of the differences between Mythical Zoan abilities and ordinary Zoan abilities. Having never eaten a Mythical Zoan fruit, he didn't know if this was truly the case. The information was too scarce.
However, Iblis had only just eaten this Mythical Zoan: Nekomata Form fruit. To fully understand its specific abilities would still require some time.
...
At this moment.
To the due south, dozens of li away, above the sea of clouds, sat a densely forested island. Towering trees reached for the sky, large trees everywhere. This small island was known as the "Holy Land," God's Island, Jaya.
"Mythical Zoan? Nekomata Form?"
In the center of God's Island, Jaya, within a magnificent palace, a figure reclining on a throne, enjoying a massage from beautiful maids and eating an apple, suddenly raised an eyebrow in surprise.
This person was bare-chested, with long earlobes Fall to shoulders, giving one an inexplicably comical feeling at first glance. His head was wrapped in a white cloth, and behind him were four large drums with tomoe markings. His pants were very loose, and he was barefoot.
"Yahaha, truly surprising..." Signaling the maids to withdraw, Enel sat up straight, a playful look in his eyes, and sneered: "Not only illegally entering, but also searching for gold. Truly a bunch of fools who don't know death!"
"Crackle..." His entire body flickered with traces of electricity. He directly raised his right hand, which became dazzlingly bright: "The consequences of blaspheming a god are very severe. Let this god bring you a baptism!"
"God's Judgment!"
"Zap——" Pale white electricity flickered incessantly, making it hard for people to open their eyes. An incomparably brilliant bolt of lightning instantly shot towards the horizon, disappearing from sight...
