Logia Type Made You Lose Your Mind

Chapter 38: The Logia Type Made You Lose Your Mind

"Shi rororo, little kitty, this great me is not what I used to be. Do you want to try? See how this great me proves my abilities!"

"You"

Caesar's current expression was extremely annoying, coupled with his provocative look and words, Kate immediately granted his request and kicked towards Caesar's chin.

This sort of thing had happened before, but back then it was Caesar, Queen, and Judge together, maintaining a relatively safe distance. Walking into Kate's direct attack range like this had never happened before.

However, the facts proved that Caesar had reason to be smug. Kate did not kick Caesar away as expected. The moment she kicked him, Caesar's body dissolved into a cloud of purple smoke, causing Kate to kick empty air.

"Shi rororo, I told you, I'm different now. You should call your tin can partner to come along too!"

"Logia Type? I thought you suddenly changed your ways, so you got this thing."

Seeing Caesar's body turn into gas, Oran immediately realized the reason for Caesar's change in attitude. It seemed that during the time MADS was docked, he had found a Logia Type Devil Fruit.

Compared to Paramecia and regular Zoan types, Logia Type Devil Fruits were much rarer. Of course, Mythical Zoans were said to be even rarer than Logia Types, but in some aspects, the number of revealed Mythical Zoans was almost more than regular Zoans.

Compared to Paramecia and Zoan types, Logia Type Devil Fruits provided the biggest initial boost. This was all because of their passive ability – Elementalization.

With this ability, Logia Type Ability Users could be immune to most attacks. In areas where Armament Haki was not widespread, very few enemies could attack them.

"That's right, Logia Type · Gas-Gas Fruit. This is simply a fruit tailor-made for me. Siderial, if you're scared, give me fifty percent of the extra research funds, and I'll spare you some face, shi rororo."

Caesar knew a little about the situation on the ship. At least he was sure that there were no Seastone research projects on the ship currently, so Oran shouldn't be able to produce Seastone weapons.

"Just one fruit, and you act as if you're invincible. Let's see how I deal with you today, meow!"

Caesar didn't know that after Oran obtained the Haki training notes from Bakin, he had already started teaching Kate. Although it hadn't been a long time, she had already made initial progress.

As a Mink Tribe member, Kate naturally had the blood of a battle race flowing through her. She could still touch the physical body of a Logia Type user, but she hadn't expected Caesar to have eaten a Logia Type fruit before, which was why she hadn't used Haki.

If this Logia Type fruit were eaten by someone whose physical combat skills were on par with Kate's, the fruit's boost would turn the tide of the battle. However, Caesar's foundation was too poor.

Logia Type never meant invincible. One wrong step could lead to becoming the disgrace of the Logia Type.

"Kate, come back. You can rest today. The test subject delivered himself, didn't he?"

"Meow?"

Before Kate could act, Oran stopped her and then looked at Frankenstein behind him.

"Give our new member a chance to try. The Logia Type shouldn't be able to kill her. This way, we can know the approximate limit of Frankenstein. Fran, are you ready to fight?"

"Yeah!"

Frankenstein nodded vigorously, ready to face her "coming-of-age ceremony." She picked up her war hammer and prepared to strike. She was now eager to demonstrate her abilities.

"Don't rush. This is not the place for a fight. Caesar, I won't argue with you whether eating a fruit counts as part of the research results. But you'd better not forget what you'll have to bear if you fail."

According to MADS tradition, these competitions were about research results. However, there was a lot of room for maneuver. For example, Kate using the Hextech Heart would also be considered within the rules.

If someone became stronger on their own, it was acceptable to participate in combat using weapons they invented. Caesar had always had a lot of complaints about this rule because it was disadvantageous to him.

However, after eating the fruit, Caesar immediately became a staunch supporter of the rule.

"Shi rororo, Siderial, the loser this time will be you."

Soon, on the weapon testing ground on the deck of the MADS ship, Caesar was ready with a pile of miscellaneous equipment. And in the crowd watching the spectacle, Oran also saw Vegapunk.

"Punk? Why are you here? Aren't you uninterested in this sort of thing?"

"Didn't you notice? Your previous experiment completely wrecked the ship's wiring. They're still repairing it, and now it's only running on backup power for basic functions. It's impossible to conduct any other experiments. What kind of experiment did you do? How could there be such a chain reaction?"

Accidentally blowing something up was common for them. To avoid interfering with each other, their private laboratories used separate circuits. Oran wrecking the wiring of the entire ship was a first.

"Fusion of a Devil Fruit with the energy core. The energy released during fusion was a bit too much. I'll be careful next time."

"You succeeded? Congratulations, that's another incredible achievement. In that case, besides the Logia Type, we all have results. Oran, I have a new idea. Although they are classified differently and their abilities are diverse, Devil Fruits must have something in common. Previously, through blood comparison, I found that the blood composition of Ability Users contains an extra unknown component. As long as we decipher this secret, we will be one step closer to cracking the secret of Devil Fruits."

Vegapunk took out a notebook, which recorded his latest research, the prototype of Lineage Factor.

"Wait a moment. I'll come to your place to get it later. The current focus is on the situation below."

Oran didn't immediately take Vegapunk's research notes. Instead, he focused his attention on Frankenstein.

"Don't you have confidence in her?"

"I never lack confidence. It's just that I created her, so I naturally have to be responsible for her. Although she's a machine, she has her own aspirations. She longs for attention, so she should be acknowledged. This is a part of her growth. As a mechanical life form, she has her own emotions."

As an artificial human, Frankenstein's field of vision was wider than that of ordinary people.

Although she only turned her head slightly, she had actually been watching Oran. Oran noticed this, so he didn't get distracted by looking at the research materials at this moment.

Frankenstein herself didn't know how to express these emotions. Being newly born, she was easily satisfied. Even just being looked at could bring her joy.

And action was her response. However, this response meant that some people were going to be in big trouble.
