"Interesting, this world can actually develop this kind of technology!"
Playing with the Devil Fruit in his hand, Wang Hao looked surprised.
He didn't know what a real Devil Fruit looked like, but this Artificial Devil Fruit that the Navy had taken back from Doflamingo was created by condensing the blood essence of a Golden-Furred Berserk Ape.
By consuming it, one can gain the ability to transform into Golden-Furred Berserk Ape, and even gain a significant boost to physical attributes in the early stages.
Most importantly, while the artificial Devil Fruit cultivated by Doflamingo is far less effective than the original Devil Fruit and has significant flaws, its side effects are also considerably fewer.
The most obvious manifestation is that it has a certain resistance to Seastone and seawater. Although it will still weaken itself, it will not completely lose its fighting power and be at the mercy of Devil Fruit User.
Just in time, he needed a powerful beast's bloodline to fuse with, and this Devil Fruit, nurtured with the essence of a Golden-Furred Berserk Ape's bloodline, came at the perfect moment.
Without hesitation, Wang Hao stuffed the fist-sized Devil Fruit into his mouth and swallowed it whole by controlling his throat and esophagus.
The taste of Devil Fruit is quite unpleasant, even the half-finished product that Doflamingo cultivated is the same, so he naturally didn't want to experience it.
After the Devil Fruit entered his stomach, the Golden-Furred Berserk Ape bloodline within it rapidly merged into Wang Hao Wang Hao's body, violently causing his body to mutate.
The power of his bloodline merged into his body, causing his muscles and bones to mutate, but Wang Hao forcefully suppressed it. Ultimately, the power of the bloodline within the Devil Fruit only turned Wang Hao's hair golden, and...
Wang Hao stared at the golden tail that stretched out in front of him, his expression quite interesting.
The bloodline power within the Devil Fruit contained immense vitality, so he guided this vitality to repair his nearly collapsed lungs. In doing so, he inadvertently grew a tail.
The Golden-Furred Berserk Ape is a ferocious ape-like creature that is extremely similar to the silverback Masira on Earth. Adult Golden-Furred Berserk Ape typically grow to be around ten meters tall. As its name suggests, they are covered in golden fur and have an extremely volatile temperament.
Its most famous characteristic is its ability to Mad Enhancement and go berserk, which can greatly increase its strength in a short period of time, hence the name Golden-Furred Berserk Ape.
"This Bloodline Divine Ability..."
Having fused with the bloodline power of the Golden-Furred Berserk Ape, Wang Hao naturally Awakening his Bloodline Power and Bloodline Divine Ability using a secret method inherited from the Jiuli Tribe. However, the Bloodline Divine Ability he Awakening...
He really didn't know how to even begin to complain!
With a thought, he activated his Awakening Bloodline Divine Ability, and his originally golden hair and eyebrows immediately emitted light, transforming into a dazzling golden color.
Aside from the change in visual effects, nothing else has changed. His strength, speed, and physical attributes remain completely unchanged.
In other words, the Bloodline Divine Ability he Awakening was completely useless except for showing off.
"Well, it's alright. He looks pretty cool this way. Except for lacking charisma, he's practically a Super Saiyan clone. Hmm, it's not like we can't create charisma. I'll figure out a way to deduce one later."
Looking at himself in the mirror from left to right, Wang Hao was very satisfied with this Bloodline Divine Ability.
After all, he could gradually improve his strength, but looking good was the most important thing.
Now, with this golden light effect added, his appearance has instantly improved dramatically.
After stretching his long golden tail, Wang Hao controlled it to coil around his waist like a belt.
This tail can also be a powerful weapon; if used properly, it can be a form of attack.
Anyway, he knows quite a few whip techniques, which he can use on this tail.
"It's time for a body makeover!"
Sensing that his lung injury had completely healed, Wang Hao decisively activated his domineering Haki, causing his body to tremble and change in waves.
Wang Hao's original three-meter-tall figure visibly shrunk, and in a short time, he was reduced to two and a half meters.
After extensive testing, he concluded that 2.5 meters is the optimal fighting stance, as it is well-balanced in all aspects, provides excellent benefits for cultivation, and is the most comfortable to maintain.
"Knock knock!"
"Teacher, everything is ready, we can set off!"
Not long after she transformed, Ain's voice rang out from outside the office door.
"Perfect timing, I'm ready too!"
Opening the office door, Wang Hao smiled, finally able to take over his subordinates.
"Teacher, did you consume that Devil Fruit?"
Wang Hao's new look startled Ain, who immediately said anxiously, "Teacher, how could you eat that Devil Fruit? The Devil Fruit cultivated by the Donquixote Pirates have fatal flaws. If you want Devil Fruit, I can go with you to find one, or even apply to Fleet Admiral Sengoku..."
Ain was almost in tears. The teacher's health was already poor, and now that he had swallowed Devil Fruit with such a fatal flaw, it was like adding insult to injury.
What would they do if something happened to the teacher?
"It's alright, this Devil Fruit is fine. Don't you think the teacher has become much more handsome?"
Wang Hao smiled and comforted him, while also narcissistically tossing his short, golden hair.
It has to be said that the Golden-Furred Berserk Ape's fur is incredibly stiff. Its original hair was the soft, flowing type, but now its stiffness has increased dramatically, transforming it into a style reminiscent of a Saiyan from Dragon Ball.
That's why he immediately thought of Super Saiyan.
"..."
Ain was completely speechless. Was this the time to be talking about this?
But the teacher has definitely become much more handsome!
"Set off!"
Wang Hao strode forward, carrying a small bag.
His body shape has changed drastically, and his old clothes no longer fit, so there's no need to take them. In the end, all he had left was this small bag.
" Zephyr?"
The Sengoku people who came to see their best friend off were all stunned by Wang Hao's new look. Garp even went up to Wang Hao and looked him over from left to right, really unable to understand how his best friend, who was perfectly fine yesterday, had changed so much in just one day that he almost couldn't recognize him.
"Your belt is so trendy! Did Ain buy it for you?"
Finally, Garp's gaze shifted to the tail wrapped around Wang Hao's waist, and he even lifted it up and tugged at it.
He knew that his best friend had been taken care of by Ain for the past few years, and that Ain had also helped him buy some of his daily necessities.
"Smack!"
Wang Hao, his face dark, lashed out at Garp's hand with his long tail, leaving a red welt.
"It can still move!"
Ignoring the red mark on the back of his hand, Garp grabbed at the long tail again in surprise.
"Smack!"
Wang Hao's face darkened further. He activated his Armament Haki, and his golden tail instantly turned black, then Inazuma whipped Garp's entire body away.
"You ate the Devil Fruit created by Doflamingo?"
Sengoku realized the problem: the only thing that could cause Wang Hao's body to change so drastically and grow a tail was a Devil Fruit, specifically a knock-off Devil Fruit with a fatal flaw that Doflamingo had cultivated.
Normally, when Zoan Devil Fruit is not activated, the user's body will not change; only when the power is activated will the user undergo transformations to varying degrees.
Only the Devil Fruit that Doflamingo copied could allow the user to maintain some bestial characteristics, or even permanently transform the user into a ferocious beast.
Their Marine Headquarters did indeed confiscate several of Doflamingo's Devil Fruit, but due to a fatal flaw, no one has used them; they've simply been placed in the Science Department for research.
Wang Hao's Devil Fruit definitely came from the Science Department, but he didn't understand why his friend would choose such a knock- Devil Fruit with so many side effects.
Could it be...?
Sengoku subconsciously glanced at Kizaru beside him, and the others followed suit, their expressions all showing hostility.
" Kizaru, spar with Lao Fu tomorrow!"
With a dark expression, Sengoku directly challenged Kizaru to a duel.
The opponent was Admiral, and to a certain extent represented the will of the World Government in the navy. Even as the Fleet Admiral, he could not punish the opponent without cause, so he could only teach this guy a lesson through this challenge.
"We haven't really crossed paths since graduation, I'll come find you the Acquired!"
Aokiji spoke lazily with a cold, long face, but his eyes revealed an undisguised chill, clearly indicating that he was truly angry.
" The Acquired!"
Akainu blankly stated a time, clearly wanting to teach Kizaru a lesson as well.
He was truly enraged. His own teacher didn't have much time left, so what was wrong with wanting a Devil Fruit?
Even if you don't give me a Phantasmal Species, how about a mid-to-high-grade complete set?
Even if you've always been at odds with Professor Zephyr, at least give me the lowest grade, inferior one. What's the point of giving me this knock-off version with fatal flaws?
Do you really think we have no temper?!
"No, I didn't do that..."
Kizaru was completely dumbfounded. Good heavens, although he had always disliked this cheap teacher, he could never have gone to this extent.
He'd have to be out of his mind to do something that would incur public wrath.
This is also Kizaru has been busy allocating supplies for Wang Hao since yesterday and hasn't returned to the Science Department, so he didn't know what Sentomaru was doing. Otherwise, he would definitely have beaten that confidant up immediately and then personally selected a powerful Devil Fruit to send to Wang Hao.
So he's doomed!
"Smack!"
Before Kizaru could explain, a hand covered in Armament Haki slammed heavily onto Kizaru shoulder. Garp's dark, aged face appeared before Kizaru, and he said in a sinister tone, " Kizaru, you've been quite the troublemaker these past few years! I'll loosen up your bones for you in a bit!"
His best friend hadn't left yet, so he couldn't start a fight right now. However, he used his Armament Haki to lock onto Kizaru, preventing him from escaping in a flash.
Sengoku and the others also used their Observation Haki to lock onto Kizaru; this guy definitely needs to be taught a lesson.
"It has little to do with Kizaru, but his Taijutsu are indeed too poor. It's for his own good that you guys train with him!"
Wang Hao offered this seemingly well-intentioned reminder.
When Kizaru heard the first sentence, he almost burst into tears. He even felt guilty for the harsh words he had said to his teacher in the past. But when he heard the following words, he was completely petrified and felt a strong sense of malice from the whole world.
