"Teach, my brother, don't lose heart!"
"What's the big deal about eating the wrong Devil Fruit?"
"You ate a Mythical Zoan Fruit. It's no worse than a Logia!"
Seeing the lifeless expression on Teach's face, the brothers could only offer words of comfort.
And they weren't wrong:
Among Logia users, the only famous ones were the Navy's three Admirals. The rest were basically nobodies.
Meanwhile, Mythical Zoan users, which were even rarer than Logia users, were practically all prominent figures on the seas.

More importantly, the moment Teach saw the "sincere" smile on Garen's face, he knew that Garen had tricked
