"Saitama... are you planning to feed this Devil Fruit to this caterpillar?" Garp finally lost his composure.
"Don't you know that one person cannot consume two Devil Fruits?"
"If they do, they will explode and die!"
"Moreover, you've already fed it an Animal-type Devil Fruit, which is a waste of resources. If you feed it this Devil Fruit as well, they'll think you're a lunatic!"
Faced with Garp's words, the Navy soldiers present nodded in silence.
"No, this caterpillar of mine can transform into a dragon by consuming Devil Fruits," Kai said, his dead fish eyes flickering.
"However, this is just the beginning. If it eats three to five more, it might truly transform into a dragon. I'll give you a demonstration then."
His seemingly insignificant words, at this moment, reverberated like a demonic melody, lingering in the heavens and earth.
Looking at Kai, with his dead fish eyes and apathetic expression. Everyone present had their facial muscles twitching.
They had to take several deep breaths to suppress the urge to kill.
In their eyes, this caterpillar was a hundred times different from the legendary dragon.
If they had to force a connection, it would be like comparing a distant ancestor to a neighbor's son.
Completely unrelated!
However, Kai paid no attention to their doubts.
He took out the Devil Fruit and, in full view of everyone, handed it to Caterpie.
Seeing Kai's stubborn persistence, the Navy soldiers' nerves were once again on edge.
Garp and Zephyr, wanting to speak but stopping themselves, finally closed their mouths and stared intently at Caterpie.
They were full of disbelief about a caterpillar transforming into a dragon.
But they were even more eager to witness a crazy experiment through Caterpie.
Would a worm that consumed two Devil Fruits truly suffer a backlash and explode to death?
With this thought, an inexplicable oppressive atmosphere seemed to fill the scene.
Watching Caterpie approach the Devil Fruit and take a bite.
Kai's eyebrows twitched, and the system's ethereal prompt flashed in his mind.
"Ding-dong! Congratulations to the host. Caterpie has successfully consumed an Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit, gaining 40,000 experience points, and is now Level 65..."
"Ancient Zoan?" Kai looked at the partially eaten fruit, appearing somewhat surprised.
Although he had already suspected that this fruit was far from ordinary.
However, 40,000 experience points, instantly leveling up by forty levels.
This was indeed a pleasant surprise for Kai.
If he could obtain another Devil Fruit of higher rarity, perhaps he could break through to Level 100 in one go.
And be able to transform into Rayquaza!
With this thought, even Kai couldn't help but chuckle.
However, this smile, combined with the dead fish eyes on his face.
In the eyes of outsiders, it was undoubtedly a foolish grin.
Feeding two Devil Fruits to a caterpillar.
Who would do such a thing unless they had nothing better to do?
"It... it's glowing! Is this really the prelude to transforming into a dragon?"
Someone exclaimed, startling the dazed crowd back to reality.
Watching the golden light emanating from Caterpie, instantly becoming as dazzling as a small sun.
Making it impossible to look directly at it.
Everyone's nerves were instantly tensed.
When the golden light dispersed, all eager eyes once again focused on Caterpie's location.
The sight that greeted them left them stunned.
"Kid Saitama, didn't you say it could transform into a dragon? Why did it just become a golden cocoon?" Garp was the first to lose his composure.
However, at this moment, what he was thinking about most was that this caterpillar, after consuming two Devil Fruits, had not exploded.
This completely overturned the experiments conducted by the World Government's science department in the past.
"Tsk, transforming into a dragon takes time. If it could become a dragon in one go, then its strength wouldn't be that impressive," Kai said, his dead fish eyes flickering.
"According to my estimation, if it eats another Mythical Zoan or Logia-type Devil Fruit, this caterpillar of mine will transform into a dragon!"
"Still eating?" Everyone present was stunned.
Looking at Kai, who was speaking earnestly, they wished they could slap themselves.
Feeding two Devil Fruits to a worm was already a crazy act.
Now, they wanted to give it a Mythical Zoan or a Logia.
It made them feel that humans were truly inferior to worms in this world.
However, it was precisely because of Kai's madness, and Caterpie transforming into a golden cocoon.
And not exploding after consuming two Devil Fruits.
This caused Zephyr to fall into silence.
If one factor was a coincidence.
Then with two consecutive factors, it was not as simple as they imagined.
Consuming two Devil Fruits, not only did it not explode.
It actually transformed into a different form.
If this Caterpie, as Kai claimed, could transform into a dragon after consuming another Logia-type and a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit.
Then it was indeed worth trying!
With this thought, Zephyr couldn't help but ask, "Garp, do we have any Mythical Zoan or Logia-type Devil Fruits in stock at Marine Headquarters?"
"Crazy!" Another one has gone mad!
Faced with Zephyr's words, the first thought that flashed through everyone's minds was this.
However, Garp, as the Hero of the Marines who had acted with impunity for so many years within Marine Headquarters.
He was not a mediocre person. Of course, he knew why Zephyr was suddenly asking this.
After a moment of contemplation, he shook his head and said, "Zephyr, I know you want to use Devil Fruits to entice Saitama to join Marine Headquarters."
"However, Logia and Mythical Zoans are rare treasures among Devil Fruits. Once discovered, they are quickly consumed. The most recent appearance of a Devil Fruit user in Marine Headquarters was when Laxus gave the Phoenix Fruit to Momousagi."
"That fruit has already become part of Momousagi's abilities."
"Moreover, a Logia or Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit could create a battle power equivalent to an Admiral. Even if Marine Headquarters truly possessed them, who would be so foolish as to waste them on a caterpillar?"
With that, Garp looked at Kai helplessly and said, "I think your plan won't work."
Faced with Garp's rare and coherent analysis, Zephyr also fell silent.
In the eyes of outsiders, feeding Devil Fruits to a worm was already foolish.
If Saitama was foolish, and Marine Headquarters followed suit, then they would be truly foolish!
Moreover, in their eyes, even if Caterpie truly transformed into a dragon, no matter how powerful it became, it couldn't compare to a strong human!
"Urgent report... Urgent report...!"
