Chapter 456 Give it a try

...

"Hello! It's Captain Gur. I've already told you that the printing press won't be completed until tomorrow. You just left and you're rushing this matter. Genius scientists are also human beings. It's impossible for them to complete this work in such a short time. Please respect my work and schedule."

Den Den Mushi pouted and said in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, stop complaining. I'm not looking for you about the money printing machine, Vegapunk."

"Really? Captain, why didn't you tell me that earlier? What's the matter?"

Vegapunk asked awkwardly.

"Hey, I was bored and suddenly thought of something interesting. Since it involves devil fruits and bloodline factors, I want to confirm some questions with you first."

Ger said with a smile.

"Oh? What's the interesting story? Captain Gill, please tell me quickly!"

Vegapunk suddenly became interested and his attitude changed 180 degrees.

"I think so, if... (You are the fireworks on the sea)"

"... "

Gel briefly told Vegapunk about his idea and then asked.

"Vegapunk, from your professional perspective, what do you think?"

"Ok?"

After hearing Gel's question, Den Den Mushi fell into a brief silence.

After thinking for a long time, Den Den Mushi opened his eyes again and said excitedly.

"It's a very interesting idea, Captain Gul! Even I am a little interested in it! But now there is not enough experimental data to support it, so I can't jump to conclusions. But I think your guess is very reasonable. From the perspective of bloodline factors, if the fur-bearing people, who already have some animal bloodline factors, eat the animal-type devil fruit corresponding to or similar to their race, there may really be different changes!"

"Okay, thank you for your off-field assistance, I'll hang up now!"

"Hey, Captain, where are you? I want to..."

"Crack!"

Gel hung up the phone mercilessly, then turned to look at the three little ones who were quickly digesting the conversation between him and Vegapunk, and asked with an expectant smile.

"It's just as you heard. So, what do you think, Pedro? Do you want to give it a try?"

Although few Minks have eaten devil fruits, there are some. In the original work, Pokumus ate an animal-type turtle-turtle fruit of an unknown variety, which could transform it into a turtle shell as hard as diamond, and when the body is retracted in the shell, it has extremely high defense.

Well, although it is useless in Gul's opinion, it at least proves that the Minks can eat devil fruits, so letting Pedro eat the Leopard Fruit will at worst have no special effect and there will be no side effects.

"Can you really give me some, Captain?"

Pedro licked his lips and asked expectantly.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or because of Captain Gill’s beautiful idea, but Pedro just feels that the temptation of the devil fruit in front of him is increasing rapidly!

"So polite? It seems that you don't really want to eat this devil fruit. Then forget it. I won't force you."

As Gel said this, he pretended to put away the devil fruit in his hand.

"No need to force me! No need to force me! Captain Gill! I want to eat! I really want to eat!"

Little Pedro hurriedly grabbed Ger's hand and begged.

"Hey, that's right. If you want it, just tell me. I told you guys not to be too polite to the captain. Here, I give it to you."

Ger smiled with satisfaction.

After saying that, he stuffed the devil fruit in his hand into Pedro's hand.

"Thank you Captain!"

Pedro looked at the leopard-print fruit in his hand excitedly, and the desire in his heart became stronger at this moment.

"Stop talking nonsense and eat quickly. This captain is still waiting to see the effect!"

Ger urged impatiently.

"Yes!"

Pedro carefully brought the devil fruit to his mouth and sniffed it out of habit.

"By the way! Remember to take a little more bite and then swallow it in one gulp."

"Uh…Okay Captain!"

"Come on!"

Pedro obediently took a big bite and instantly put on a mask of pain. His face turned pale and blue, and he swallowed the fruit in his mouth while suppressing his nausea!

"Puff, puff, puff!! This smell! Ah! It's so disgusting! Ugh!"

Pedro said, sticking out his tongue.

What happened? My analysis turned out to be pure fantasy? It seems... there is no special change.

Gel supported his chin and waited quietly for 3 minutes. Seeing that Pedro still showed no signs of explosive evolution, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"Huh? You seem to have grown taller, Pedro!"

Jie Bo was surprised.

He walked forward uncertainly and gestured twice with his head, and found that Pedro, who was originally half a head shorter than him, had now become the same height as him.

Pedro was also stunned. After looking at Jie Bo straight in the eye, he realized that his height, which was originally 1.5 meters at the age of ten, had actually increased by about ten centimeters in an instant.

Haha! It turns out it did work, at least he grew taller!

Gel smiled helplessly and gave himself a consolation prize.

"Hey! Looks like he's gotten a little stronger!"

Pokmus said as he pinched the biceps on Pedro's arm.

"Oh?! Could it be? Is it starting to work? How is it? How is it? Pedro! Do you feel anything different? Like bloodline awakening or something like that?"

Gel asked anxiously.

"Do you feel different? I don't think so, Captain."

It seems that the captain might be a little disappointed with this result, Pedro said awkwardly.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't have it. Maybe it will slowly show up in the future. Let time take care of everything. Try the fruit ability first."

"Okay Captain!"

Pedro slowly stretched out his right hand and looked at it, then his eyes focused, the claws on his hands and the hair on his back began to grow longer, and his body also grew rapidly!

1.8 meters! 2 meters! 2.5 meters!

"Hoohoho!"

Pedro transformed into an orc, and his height eventually grew to about 3 meters before stopping.

Gel looked carefully at the orc in front of him, who had yellow hair and black spots, was tall and mighty, had muscular body, and had claws and fangs that glowed coldly.

Overall, it looks similar to Rob Lucci's appearance after he transforms into an orc, except that his head is completely like a leopard's head and has no human facial features.

If I hadn’t witnessed the whole thing, it would be hard to believe that the oppressive monster in front of me was actually a 10-year-old kid!

Ger nodded in praise.

"Not bad, not bad! It seems that this fruit is indeed very suitable for you! How does Pedro feel now?!"

"Power! Captain! I feel full of power!"

“Hmph!!”

Pedro swung his claws hard at the air in front of him!

"Swipe!"

The flying slash formed by the three claw marks instantly split the tree ten meters away neatly into four sections! And it went towards the next tree with the same power!

Although it is still unclear whether it is the similar bloodline factor that played a role, judging from this performance, let alone a 10-year-old child, even an adult with stronger physical fitness than Pedro would not be able to exert such strong strength just after eating this fruit.
