In the world, there are many delicious things. Due to the differences in human taste, the definition of delicious varies for everyone, and there can even be two extreme opinions about some foods, such as fish mint and coriander.
Some people love it and can’t do without it, while others find even its smell unbearable.
However, Devil Fruits are different. Although they don’t smell bad, they are something even a fool would find unappetizing.
Devil Fruits are extremely unpalatable; this is a view that everyone shares in common. But, among all known Devil Fruit users, only Yamato was an exception.
Arceus went to great lengths to specially modify Okuchi no Makami for her, making her not understand what the so-called unpalatableness is all about.
“Cough, cough, cough, this tastes so awful.”
After swallowing the last bite of the fruit, Ulti experienced a strong nausea, but even after retching, nothing came out. The fruit was merely its outward manifestation; once the first bite was swallowed, the body rapidly absorbed the power of the fruit.
“Pay-tan, are you okay?”
“I’m okay, but sis, why would you eat this? It tastes awful.”
“Wait a little longer; the changes should happen soon.”
For most Devil Fruit users, once they eat the fruit, they will know its ability. Brook’s Revive-Revive Fruit is probably an exception, as its ability requires dying once to trigger, and no one dares to try it casually.
Zoan-types are different. Even a child can quickly master the basic three-stage transformations by eating it. However, these fruits are now classified as Mythical Zoan, and mastering their “mythical” power requires a considerable amount of time.
Ulti sensed her power and there was a wriggling sensation under her skirt, and soon a green tail broke through her clothes and slapped onto the ground.
Green scales wrapped around her body, and her hands turned into elongated dragon claws with crimson claws at the tips. In her Human-Beast form, the difference between her and the Pachycephalosaurus Devil Fruit user from the original timeline wasn’t significant.
However, at the junction of her upper and lower jaws, two battle axes formed at thirty-degree incline, the proud battle teeth of Haxorus, which had outstanding destructive power. They could easily cut through even solid steel pillars.
The location where the teeth extended happened to be the outer edge of her mask. Her mask was unique, not a head or ear-worn type but more like an adhesive mask.
But this ability was not the only one; Queen had already proven one thing with his drug: the body structure of a Zoan-type User can be changed. So, the abilities of this Haxorus were somewhat special.
A mysterious will made Ulti bring her arms close to her face. Then, the teeth, like assembled parts, detached and adhered to the outer scales of her arms, forming two pairs of external axe blades.
“Axe-Hand” Morgan- Fake Axe King!
Ulti- Real Axe King!
Whether using her head or her hands, she could unleash the power of these battle teeth.
Although it looked a bit unscientific, considering that Triceratops can use the rotating bone disk like helicopter’s rotor wings, and Queen’s Brachiosaurus transformation, Ulti’s changes didn’t seem strange.
While Ulti underwent the transformation, Page One’s body began to expand.
Black-purple fine scales covered his entire body. If you didn’t look closely, you couldn’t tell these were scales; when combined, they looked like sharkskin.
Seemingly smooth, but they can actually cause severe abrasions to enemies.
Because his devil fruit’s model was different, his Garchomp was much larger than Ulti’s, especially since his transformation was into a Beast Form.
So, since birth, his height surpassed Ulti’s for the first time, and it was almost three times hers. However, Onigashima’s buildings were large enough, so these weren’t really problems.
“Wow, Pay-tan, you’ve gotten so big! Amazing.”
Looking at the big Page One, Ulti felt no fear whatsoever. Instead, she climbed onto his back. If it weren’t for her own scales, she might have had a layer of skin rubbed off. Currently, Page One couldn’t control these things very well.
“Sis? What are you doing?”
“Nothing, I used to carry you all the time, but now that you’ve grown up, you can carry me on your back.”
In short, the older sister loved her younger brother, perhaps not much, but it was quite peculiar.
At this moment, Ulti, clinging to Page One’s back fins, swayed back and forth, causing Page One to fall to the ground since he hadn’t adapted to his new body yet.
The sound startled the siblings, but even after waiting for a while, it seemed no one noticed it.
“Phew, these people sleep like dead. Pay-tan, how are you? Why did you suddenly fall? Are you okay?”
“Sis, can you get off me first before asking about it?”
In Page One’s limited memories, most of them were of Ulti, and they are both good and bad.
For example, almost choking him while feeding him water, or almost smothering him with a blanket. However, when there was real danger, she always stood in front of him, making Page One’s feelings for Ulti, this older of his, quite complex.
When there was danger, he could rely on her, but when there was no danger, she became his biggest threat, like now.
The two of them played around for almost half the night before finally falling asleep. However, just as dawn broke, they were awakened by the sound of an explosion, accompanied by Yamato’s reluctant and resigned curses. Kaido had begun his impromptu inspection again.
Even Ulti and Page One were not spared, directly engulfed by the spreading flame clouds.
Although, due to his relationship with their father, he intentionally ensured that the siblings obtained suitable Devil Fruits, it also meant that their hellish times had begun ahead of schedule.
“Run! You must become worthy of those two fruits. Powerful abilities shouldn’t be wasted just because your bodies aren’t strong enough. Keep running!”
Subjected to the passive training, Ulti increasingly felt that she had been deceived by Kaido.
Time quickly reached February of Year 1506. During this period, many events had occurred on the seas. For instance, Red-Haired Shanks arrived in the East Blue, extending an invitation to a man named Yasopp to join his pirate crew.
In the Drum Kingdom’s forest, a group of deer gave birth to a new generation of fawns. In Goa Kingdom, Ace and Sabo met for the first time and became friends, while Ulti was scolded by Shayna several times.
She didn’t heed Yamato’s advice, so her refusal to admit defeat led to quite a few hardships. However, in this regard, she had gained enough experience and lessons. At least when facing Arceus, she understood the importance of etiquette and respect.
She didn’t want to be spanked in front of her brother again; Shayna really doesn’t hold back when serious.
To be able to make a tsundere acknowledge defeat verbally is already a very severe punishment.
