Truly a Monster!

Since Paper Art couldn't be learned in a short time, he would just take it slow.

Because he faced no pressure to survive, Zhu Mang kept a very relaxed mindset.

It was hilarious; he wasn't some web novel protagonist starting off with a tragic, deep-seated grudge.

The only person he had a grudge against was Frieza.

Setting aside the question of whether he could win or not.

Frieza had sent him from that dangerous Dragon Ball world to this "paradise" of One Piece with a single Planet-Destroying Energy Ball, turning him from a mere grunt into an "invincible One-Punch Man."

Could this... really be considered an enemy?

Oh, you mean the blood feud of those Saiyans on Planet Vegeta?

Sorry, he was a transmigrator from Earth.

What the hell did it have to do with him if the Saiyans were all wiped out?

Therefore, he had plenty of time to slowly explore this technique.

If he couldn't learn it in a day, he would take ten.

If he couldn't learn it in ten days, he would take a year.

He refused to believe that he couldn't master a "low-level skill"!

With that thought, Zhu Mang yawned, turned around, and headed back to his room to get some sleep.

"Young people shouldn't stay up late."

"I'm done for today, time to sleep."

This was the supreme directive, and it had to be followed.

After Zhu Mang left, several figures approached from a distance.

Sengoku, Tsuru, and Aokiji stood on the training ground that had been ravaged by Zhu Mang, staring at the mess in silence.

"Finger Pistol, Tempest Kick... it seems he has already mastered the Six Powers!" Tsuru's tone was slightly heavy.

Sengoku nodded slightly. "From the time we handed the Six Powers over to him until now, it has been less than three hours, and he even took a trip to the cafeteria and ate a hundred-person portion of food..."

"So, he learned the Six Powers and mastered them to an advanced level in only about an hour?" Aokiji was dumbfounded.

In the past, he had always thought of himself as a genius.

He joined the Navy at 19, and when he entered the Elite Training Camp, his performance was far ahead of everyone else; apart from Sakazuki and Borsalino, no one could compare to him.

Later, he was promoted to Admiral at 30, becoming one of the few powerhouses on the sea.

However, even so, learning the Navy Six Powers in just one hour still felt incredibly surreal to him.

Was this something a human could do?

At this moment, he felt like a joke!

What is a true genius?

This was a real genius!

"Most of the Navy Six Powers are requirements for physical fitness; the techniques themselves aren't actually that difficult. And as for his physical condition, I believe you all have experienced it yourselves—it truly wouldn't be that hard for him," Tsuru, whose insight was sharp, revealed the truth of the matter.

"That may be so, but it's still hard to accept," Aokiji said, his voice tinged with bitterness; he had taken a heavy blow.

"Enough, Kuzan," Sengoku barked. "You're old enough, stop acting like a child!"

He didn't want one of his three Admirals to suddenly lose their conviction at a time like this.

One had to know that in a world where power and mindset were linked to a certain extent, a person's state of mind could sometimes truly determine their strength.

"Ara ara~" Aokiji shut his mouth, though his mindset did adjust back somewhat.

He wasn't truly in despair; he just found it hard to accept for a moment.

But he was someone who had been an Admiral for 17 years, after all; naturally, he wouldn't wallow in self-pity over such a small matter.

"Compared to that, what I care about more is, where exactly did he come from?" Sengoku said in a deep voice.

After finishing their conversation with Zhu Mang, they had urgently mobilized the intelligence agencies the Navy had scattered nearby, investigating everything about Zhu Mang and Doflamingo on Sabaody Archipelago, hoping to follow the trail to find Zhu Mang's origins.

However, all leads still ended at Sabaody Archipelago.

No matter how they investigated, they could only find that he appeared together with Doflamingo.

As for going further back, they only knew that Doflamingo was indeed alone when he left Dressrosa.

But where he went afterward, no one knew.

Because he used his own String-String Fruit ability to travel, it was too covert.

Moreover, time was of the essence, and they couldn't investigate that much.

Consequently, Sengoku and the others could only have them continue the investigation while secretly speculating.

"He has a monkey tail, but there is no such thing as a Monkey-Tail Tribe in this world, so perhaps it is because he ate some kind of Devil Fruit?"

"Could he be a monkey-mink from the Mink Tribe, just with regressed fur?" Aokiji proposed a viewpoint.

"The Mink Tribe lives on the back of the giant elephant Zou, wandering constantly, making it very difficult to locate them. I will send people to investigate, but I don't hold much hope," Tsuru said.

"If it is a Devil Fruit... do you have any leads on what fruit he might have eaten?" Sengoku frowned and asked.

"Having a monkey tail, being able to fly through the air, and firing laser-like attacks... there are indeed records of some similar mythical creatures," Tsuru said.

Subsequently, the three of them had a few naval orderlies clean up the area before heading to Tsuru's Grand Staff Officer office.

Tsuru picked up a few sheets of paper from the desk, clearly having anticipated certain possibilities in advance.

There were four sheets of paper in total, each recording a mythical creature that matched the situation.

[Ape God: Usually regarded as a messenger or avatar of the mountain god, possessing the ability to ride clouds and mist, and has a certain connection to the Sun God.]

[Tengu: A hybrid of "monkey and bird," legend says it possesses supernatural powers of flight, wind control, and the use of illusions.]

[Ape Demon: Monkey face, demon body, capable of teleportation, and can also climb into the sky.]

[Ape Fox: A fox monster capable of flight, sometimes transforming into a monkey shape to deceive humans.]

Sengoku and Aokiji looked at these intelligence reports in silence.

Tsuru picked up another sheet: "A similar Mythical Zoan fruit did indeed appear on the sea in the past, the [Bird-Bird Fruit, Model: Nue]. The Nue is a legendary bird of ill omen with a monkey head, raccoon dog body, tiger claws, and snake tail. It can also fly and is regarded as the embodiment of disaster. In some places, the Nue and the Tengu are even conflated."

"Furthermore, this Devil Fruit disappeared from the sea hundreds of years ago."

"Tsuru, are you suggesting that he might have eaten this Devil Fruit?" Sengoku asked.

"It's hard to say, and besides, a single Mythical Zoan fruit alone wouldn't be enough to make someone that powerful, would it?" Tsuru looked at Sengoku and said.

Sengoku nodded.

He himself was the user of the [Human-Human Fruit, Model: Buddha], so he knew the strength of Mythical Zoan fruits better than anyone.

He considered his own Devil Fruit to be quite strong, but it was nowhere near that monstrous level.

In fact, it was far inferior.

"Therefore, his strength likely stems from three dimensions."

"A Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit that has been developed to the point of awakening!"

"An outstanding, or even terrifying, racial talent!"

"His own terrifying talent for cultivation!"

Sengoku's voice echoed in the office, plunging the three people inside into a long silence.

"...What a monster!"
