Caesar nodded. "Rare types and Mythical Zoans are difficult to develop. After all, we lack research materials, and I can't create them out of thin air. In the early stages, we can only start by producing ordinary Zoans."
Ronglin was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this. He had been hoping for an entire army of Mythical Zoan users.
