There Are No Mythical Zoans-or Everyone Is a Mythical Zoan!

Vinsmoke Gage would not refuse, much less dare to refuse the White Dragon's order.

However, he also had to treat Bonney's Azure Jade Scales and was too busy to personally teach Kid how to read and write.

Storm didn't care about this small problem.

Gage can't teach, then let's find someone else to teach.

The Germa Kingdom is one of the few "Science Kingdom" on the sea.

Gage is by no means the only scientist living within the Germa Kingdom —at least a scholar with a certain level of scientific knowledge.

For reasons unknown, Gage didn't send ordinary scholars, but instead dispatched the Vinsmoke Family's trump card, one of his "greatest masterpieces"—

Vinsmoke Reiju.

The Germa Kingdom, Vinsmoke Castle.

Storm led the way, Germa Kingdom's Castle as his own territory.

Princess Reiju of the Germa Kingdom's First Princess, who had been summoned by Gage, was half a step behind him. She cautiously led the way for this Shichibukai and gave him a general overview of the Germa Kingdom.

Robin, Kid, and Killer followed behind Storm and Reiju, with little interaction between them.

The archaeologist was admiring the unique structure of Vinsmoke Castle, while the two underachievers behind her looked grief-stricken and devastated.

As for Bear and Bonney, the father and daughter did not travel with them, but remained in the previous Secret Laboratory.

Bonney needs to undergo further in-depth examinations to prepare for the subsequent Stem Cell Cloning Plan.

Bear's role is to accompany and protect his daughter, and incidentally keep an eye on Gage to prevent unnecessary trouble.

Storm and his party walked around Vinsmoke Castle for a while.

"Lord White Dragon"

Reiju raised her hand and stretched it out into the passageway, pointing to a door not far away.

"That's the Germa Kingdom's Library, containing all the books and knowledge the Germa Kingdom has collected over the past few centuries."

"Yes, thank you for leading the way, Princess Reiju."

Storm responded and continued walking forward.

Reiju quickened her pace slightly and opened the library door for White Dragon.

Her father's order to her was to obey all of White Dragon's commands and serve this distinguished guest well!

Reiju remembers it very clearly.

In his father's eyes, members of the royal family are born to be served, not to serve others!

I don't know what the White Dragon did to my father that caused such a sudden change in his personality...

Reiju led Storm and his group into the Vinsmoke Family's library.

Looking at the densely packed books in the library and smelling the pervasive scent of ink, Kid felt a wave of dizziness.

He had initially thought the stench emanating from Vinsmoke Gage was nauseating enough.

But I never imagined that the "taste of knowledge" could be so nauseating!

"Boss..."

Kid put his arm around Killer's shoulder, supporting his swaying body.

Why should I study hard?

"May you prosper, prosper, prosper..."

Killer, standing nearby, couldn't help but burst into laughter, shamelessly mocking his brother.

"This was your own choice, Kid. Who told you to eat that [Magnet-Magnet Fruit]?"

"That's right, it's because you ate such a unique Devil Fruit."

Storm strongly agreed with Killer.

"So many people want this [Magnet-Magnet Fruit] but can't have it."

"But studying and stuff..."

Kid clutched his head in anguish.

"I recognize those words, but those words don't recognize me!"

"Isn't it enough if I just know my name and can read my bounty?"

For the vast majority of pirates...

That's certainly enough.

Even some future Pirate Emperor might misread his own bounty...

But.

"Your knowledge is completely insufficient when it comes to the [Magnet-Magnet Fruit]."

Storm wasn't going to tolerate Kid, so he gestured for Reiju to fetch some books about magnetism.

"Only by arming your mind with knowledge can you maximize the potential of your [Magnet-Magnet Fruit]."

"To be honest, every time I see you using the [Magnet-Magnet Fruit- Magnet-Magnet Fruit] like it's a 'garbage-collecting fruit,' I just want to snatch it from you!"

"Are you some kind of 'Zoan -type Human- Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Garbage Collector' Devil Fruit User?"

Upon hearing this, not only Kid, but even Robin, who was just about to find a book to read, couldn't help but cast a strange look at him.

"Captain, where on the high seas would you find such a strange Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit...?"

Robin offered her perspective from an archaeologist's point of view.

"Besides, Mr. Eustass ate Paramecia Devil Fruit, so how could it possibly turn into Zoan Devil Fruit? Let alone a legendary Mythical Zoan."

"Solvador Kana (That's hard to say)!"

Storm seemed to possess an innate updraft, giving a dismissive smile.

"As long as a person's will is strong enough, even Paramecia can become Mythical Zoan!"

"Maybe...

"There are actually no Mythical Zoan in the world, or rather -- everyone is Mythical Zoan."

"Captain, aren't you being a bit too... audacious?"

Robin chuckled, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and unleashed her [Flower-Flower Fruit] power.

The arms connected one after another, forming a long, narrow super-arm, which retrieved an ancient book from the bookshelf for Robin.

Reiju, who had just found some books on magnetism, originally intended to take them back with her.

When the princess of the Germa Kingdom saw this, she was almost startled.

'What a bizarre ability!'

"Captain, this is my ability."

Robin took the books in his hands and shook them for a moment.

"Could it be some Mythical Zoan?"

"That's fine too."

Storm nodded, even offering a suggestion.

What do you think of the name 'Zoan -type Human- Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Thousand-Armed Devil'?

"It doesn't sound good at all!"

Robin rolled her eyes at Storm, then ignored him and immersed herself in the world of books.

Kid and Killer, who were standing to the side, listened to the entire conversation between Storm and Robin, but both of them had utterly bewildered expressions on their faces.

"What are you talking about? Mythical Zoan? Thousand-Armed Devil? And the Human-Human Fruit?"

Kid managed to glean a word from the conversation that he could roughly understand, and he scoffed.

"How could something like the [Human-Human Fruit] exist in the world?"

"If someone eats the [Human-Human Fruit], will they turn into a 'human-human'? Haha!"

Kid just chuckled twice.

A slender arm suddenly appeared in front of him, holding a book in its palm—a book rarely found in the outside world: <The Devil Fruit Encyclopedia>.

"This is the page, Mr. Kid."

Robin's voice rang out at the right moment; the owner of that arm was naturally her.

You can take a look.

Kid frowned and looked at the inside pages of the book.

The dense text made him a little dizzy, but at least he could understand the pictures.

The picture shows a mushroom-shaped fruit with a peculiar appearance, featuring a red umbrella and white stem.

Kid ate the Magnet-Magnet Fruit and thus gained some impression of the appearance of Devil Fruit.

He recognized the fruit in the picture at a glance as Devil Fruit.

"What is this? A 'mushroom fruit'?"

"..."

Robin remained silent.

Her actions did not seem to have the desired effect.

"Ha ha!"

Storm couldn't help but laugh. The old saying, "Naturalness always trumps cunning," is certainly true.

"Kid, I told you to read more! This Devil Fruit is the [Human-Human Fruit], a common Zoan-type Zoan you just mentioned!"

Kid was taken aback.

Killer, who was standing nearby, also burst out laughing at this moment.

"Fa fa fa fa... No way, bro?"

Kid's face instantly turned as red as his hair, making him look like a giant, upright, walking red stick figure.

Just then, Reiju walked over from the side carrying a stack of large books.

Understanding Magnetism, Magnetism and Metals, Magnetism and Current, Marine Magnetic Measurement, Life and Magnetic Fields...

Looking at the massive, brick-like books, Kid's pent-up anger vanished as if doused with cold water, instantly deflated.

"Thank you for your help, Princess Reiju."

Storm nodded to Reiju, then pointed at Kid.

"However, I'll need your help to make another trip..."

"I had a misconception about this guy's knowledge level. It seems a bit too difficult for him to learn advanced knowledge now. Let's bring some books to help him learn to read first."

Can children learn to read?

Even with Reiju's personality, her expression couldn't help but become a little strange.

She grew up in the Germa Kingdom and rarely encountered outsiders, and had virtually no dealings with "pirates".

Are all pirates such a strange bunch?

While thinking silently, Reiju quickly retrieved a children's primer.

The eldest princess originally wanted to follow her father's teachings and personally tutor Eustace Kid.

But Storm waved her off.

"Princess Reiju, we don't need you here for the time being. Could you please give us some space to ourselves?"

"Yes, Lord White Dragon."

Reiju didn't ask for a reason, she just nodded.

She waved goodbye to the remaining servants in the library and also turned off the Monitoring Den Den Mushi) in the library.

"Alright, now it's just a few of us left."

Storm's gaze swept past Robin and Kid, focusing on Killer, and he called out the other's name.

"Killer!"

"Yes, boss?"

Do you want to become Devil Fruit User?

"Devil Fruit User?"

Killer paused, then touched his helmet.

"I'm a swordsman, I have no interest in Devil Fruit."

This is indeed one reason.

However, Killer witnessed what his good friend Kid had just experienced and was unwilling to suffer the same fate as him.

Kid's level of knowledge is not high.

How high can Killer's skill level be?

The two boys are evenly matched.

Half a pound of broken copper versus eight ounces of scrap iron, both are equally rotten.

Read?

Read my ass!

"Don't refuse just yet. I have a Zoan - Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit here."

Storm raised his hand and reached out to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon beside him, who opened its mouth and spat out a Devil Fruit.

"This is [Dragon Dragon Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Tyrannosaurus Form]."

Robin stared in surprise at the Devil Fruit in Storm's hand.

"Captain, could this be the Devil Fruit power of the King of Lizards?"

"Yes, this Devil Fruit has been reborn."

Storm didn't explain much to Robin; he simply waved the [Tyrannosaurus Fruit] in his hand at Killer.

"Killer, do you want this Devil Fruit?"

Storm actually possesses five Devil Fruits.

However, apart from the [Tyrannosaurus Fruit], the other four are all Zoan, common type "Lizard Fruit".

Those Zoan -type Devil Fruit (common type).

For some, it can enhance their strength, but for others, it can be a burden.

Storm thought Killer had decent potential and didn't want him to eat any ordinary Zoan-type Zoan Devil Fruit.

The Ancient Zoan are barely acceptable.

Looking at all the Ancient Zoan, the [Tyrannosaurus Fruit] is among the strongest.

Storm gave it to Killer, which was not an insult to the future "Killing Warrior".

"Let's forget about it, Captain."

Killer shook his head, rejecting Storm once again.

"I still think being a swordsman suits me best; I don't want to eat Devil Fruit."

"Alright."

Storm doesn't mind Killer's final choice; everyone has their own preferences.

He couldn't bring himself to force the Tyrannosaurus Fruit onto Killer.

Everyone has their own ambitions.

Storm put the Tyrannosaurus Fruit back into the Blue-Eyes White Dragon's body, then casually picked up a book on Magnetism and Current from the table.

"You should start learning to read and write with Kid now!"

Killer was taken aback, and so was Kid.

You don't want to eat Devil Fruit, but you still have to study?

A smile doesn't disappear; it simply moves from one person's face to another.

Kid patted Killer on the shoulder.

"Hahaha... Brother, let's go together!"
