Chapter 172: Mythical Beast Species! Abnormal Abilities!
Mu Chong looked up at Baku, who was adapting to the changes in his body, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Among apes, Gigantopithecus is undoubtedly the most suitable for combat with humans. Originally a bipedal species, its three forms make it almost impossible to discern any unusual features in its appearance.
"Hehehehe! Captain! I feel my body is full of power right now. The changes brought about by this Devil Fruit are exactly what I wanted. Thank you, Captain!"
At this moment, Baku, who had fully adapted to the Devil Fruit's power, remained in his full beast form, with a massive body, about ten meters tall, and human speech emanating from his enormous mouth, happily gesturing and dancing.
"Hahahaha! Is that so? Then that's perfect, Baku! Come on, Baku! Use all your strength and take my punch!"
Sensing the excitement in Baku's tone, Mu Chong's eyes lit up. He too wanted to test the Devil Fruit and see how much power it could grant Baku, especially right after he'd just eaten it.
boom!
"Hmm? Okay! Come on, Captain!"
Baku paused upon hearing this, then moved his massive body, stomping heavily on the ground, creating two deep craters. His gaze then fixed intently on Mu Chong, clearly indicating he was prepared.
"Good heavens! This power! What a terrifying boost!"
Seeing this, Slad couldn't help but speak up.
"Hahaha! Come on!"
boom!
Mu Chong laughed loudly, then suddenly exerted force with his feet, his body leaping into the air and charging directly towards the giant ape that Baku had transformed into.
Ding!
Armament Haki instantly enveloped his right fist, and he shot forward, his right fist pointing straight ahead.
Roar! !
Baku immediately lowered his center of gravity, frantically mobilizing the power of his Devil Fruit. The power boost from the Zoan-type Devil Fruit was activated at this moment.
Ding!
The giant ape arm, originally black and red, turned pitch black under the enhancement of Armament Haki, and a heavy punch was thrown.
boom!
boom!
Two fists, one large and one small, collided in mid-air. The shockwave from the immense force instantly swept across the surroundings, shaking the cave, causing rocks to slide down, and magma to surge.
call!
Boom!Boom!Boom! ...
The next moment, Mu Chong's body was thrown back into the air, returning to its original position, while Baku's feet took several steps back before he regained his balance.
Baku felt the pain in his fist and stared in astonishment at Mu Chong, who was laughing loudly in front of him. He was utterly shocked; he had just used his full strength!
"Excellent! Baku! This Devil Fruit has really boosted your abilities. Congratulations! You've finally found a Devil Fruit that suits you perfectly! I hope it will help you resound across the seas on the Freedom in the future!"
Mu Chong looked at Baku with satisfaction. Before Baku ate the Devil Fruit, that punch would have definitely injured him, but now he only staggered back a few steps, which was quite impressive.
Amidst cheers and laughter, Baku reverted to his original form, except that his upper body clothes were now completely torn, revealing his muscular physique.
"Hey! Baku! Tell me quickly, what's the name of this Devil Fruit? Judging from your change just now, I have a feeling this fruit is something special!"
At this moment, Slad immediately stepped forward, stood next to Baku, looked him up and down, and said...
"Ok?"
Upon hearing Slad's question, Mu Chong's eyes lit up, and he perked up, equally curious.
"Um! The name of this fruit?"
Baku hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, then slowly closed his eyes, and opened them again a moment later.
"Zoan-type Monkey-Monkey Fruit, Mythical Zoan Type, Titan Ape Mode"
As Baku spoke, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he had sensed an incredible power.
"Huh? A Mythical Zoan? It's a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, even more precious than a Logia-type? Ah!! Captain! I regret it now! This fruit is too tempting!"
Upon hearing Baku's description, Slad was utterly stunned, his face displaying an exaggerated expression.
"whispering sound!"
Mu Chong rolled his eyes at him; it would be a waste for this guy not to be an actor. He ignored him and then asked Baku...
"Baku! Can you feel the power this fruit has given you? I remember that Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits usually come with other abilities. What's yours?"
"Hehehehe! You're right! Captain! You really do have some strange abilities!"
Mu Chong's question excited Baku again, and a smug look appeared on his face.
"What? What is it? Baku! Tell me quickly, what kind of ability is it?"
Slad quickly pressed for an answer.
"First, the power of the earth! As long as my feet don't leave the ground at the same time during battle, a continuous stream of power will restore my stamina! Moreover, my strength will also increase!"
"Secondly, gravity field! I can create a gravity field within a certain range to suppress the opponent's mobility!"
"The last one! In my full beast form, I'm not even afraid of lava! Hehehehehehe!"
The moment Baku finished speaking, the entire cave became eerily quiet; the only sound was the churning lava in the crater.
"Damn! You're a pervert!"
Slad left those words behind, turned and walked towards the pile of treasure beside him, skillfully using his Cloud-Cloud Fruit ability to create a white box, which he then filled with gold.
"Tsk tsk tsk! Invincible! Baku! This Devil Fruit is invincible! The endless stamina, the ability to influence gravity within a certain range, and the beast-like body that is immune to magma... I suddenly feel a little regretful."
As Mu Chong listened to Baku's description, his eyes went from disbelief to speechlessness. He was truly taken aback; this was a mythical beast species even rarer than the Logia type!
"Hey hey hey hey!"
Ignoring Baku's silly grin, Mu Chong silently walked towards the pile of treasure and began loading it.
"Captain! I'll help too!"
"Get away from me!!!"
Baku ran over to offer help, but Mu Chong and Slade turned around and shouted at the same time.
boom! boom! boom!
Roar!Roar!Roar!
But at that moment, the continuous gunfire and the roars of the gorilla came from the direction of the cave entrance into everyone's ears.
"Ok?"
Roar!
Mu Chong and his two companions immediately became alert, while the gorilla leader beside them got up and walked outside.
"Captain!" x2
"Heh, looks like we're not the only ones who've come here! Let's forget about the treasure for now! Since this gorilla helped us get such a powerful Devil Fruit, we have to lend a hand no matter what! Let's go! Let's go see who this guy is!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Mu Chong put down the piece of gold in his hand, moved his feet, and quickly ran towards the cave entrance.
Slad and Baku exchanged a glance and then rushed out after him.
At the cave entrance, chaos had broken out, with more than a dozen pirates brandishing spears and firing incessantly at the giant gorillas.
Because Mu Chong's Conqueror's Haki had stunned all the gorillas, only a few of the larger ones were awake, their minds still reeling.
"Captain Bamon! These gorillas look really strange. They're completely different from the ferocious beasts we encountered before; they're so weak!"
A pirate carrying a long sword stood beside Bamon, watching the battle unfold before him, and spoke.
"Hahahaha! This proves I came to the right place. I just happened to find these gorillas in a weakened state. After we take them down, all the treasure in the cave will be ours! Brothers, increase the firepower and kill all these big guys!"
Bamon rested his hands on the large axe in front of him, a smug look on his face, as if everything was under his control.
"That's right! Captain Bamon is the best..."
Roar!
Boom!Boom!Boom! ...
Rumble!
Just as the pirate with the sword was about to offer some compliments to Bamon, a deafening rumble suddenly echoed from inside the cave, followed by a terrifying roar that chilled the soul.
As the roar rang out, the previously dazed gorillas instantly perked up, charging forward with their eyes fixed on the hail of bullets.
boom!boom!
"what!!"
"Run! The gorilla has mutated!!!"
