However, during dinner, Luna quickly drained the watermelon juice in her hand, then immediately spoke to Sana.
"Sana, since you have become a crew member of our Pink Hat Pirates, according to my rules, are you ready to accept a power boost like a rocket launch?"
Sana, who had been happily chatting and enjoying the food with The Girls, paused for a moment, then immediately stood up, excited and joyful, and replied.
"I am ready."
"Good."
Luna wasted no time. She immediately took out the White Tiger Fruit and briefly explained its abilities.
It granted the ability to control hurricanes, extremely strong close-combat attack power, the ability to transform into a White Tiger and a White Tiger Human, and a significant enhancement of physical fitness and attributes.
The Girls were stunned, especially the five crewmates native to the Pirate World. Good heavens, it was another top-tier legendary Devil Fruit.
"Thank you, Captain." Having already heard the experiences of The Girls, Sana did not hesitate. After expressing her sincere gratitude, she immediately took it.
She bit into it immediately, but soon, Sana's originally grateful expression instantly became as ugly as if she had eaten that thing.
"Ugh, ugh, ugh—the Devil Fruit really tastes awful." Sana had only heard rumors before, but now she believed it because she had tasted it herself. She suppressed the urge to vomit and swallowed it down, knowing that only by eating the flesh could she gain the ability.
But quickly, the changes caused by eating the Devil Fruit began to occur.
Centered around Sana, The Girls were surprised to find a faint breeze emanating from her body, which then grew larger and larger until Sana was suddenly enveloped in an azure tornado.
The strong airflow almost blew the food off the dining table. Fortunately, Sana reacted quickly. Startled out of her daze, she controlled the hurricane from spreading outwards, thus avoiding the tragedy of wasted food.
Seeing this, Luna thought to herself that sure enough, even though they were both Mythical Zoan types, the changes brought about by eating a Devil Fruit were still different; the transformation caused by wind was much less dramatic than that caused by fire.
Even though the Phoenix and the White Tiger were nearly equal, they were no worse than the Angel and the Fairy. These four legendary Devil Fruits were all Mythical Zoan types, each having its own advantages and disadvantages, with no distinction of good or bad, or strong or weak. It all depended on how the consumer used and developed them.
But suddenly, the transformation on Sana's body progressed further.
An astonishing change occurred on her body. Unconsciously, Sana adopted a posture of roaring toward the sky. With a tiger roar directed skyward, her entire body changed under the blowing and surrounding hurricane, eventually transforming completely into a majestic and handsome White Tiger, though it was clearly a female tiger.
Under the dark night sky, especially since Water Seven had just been cleansed by the Aqua Laguna, the roar of the tiger nearly woke up all the residents. It was only due to a glance from Luna that Deya immediately set up a soundproof spatial barrier. Otherwise, Sana's action would have constituted severe disturbance of the peace.
They certainly wouldn't do something so unethical.
At this moment, the White Tiger that Sana had transformed into was truly beautiful and handsome sitting before the dining table, with pristine white fur and black stripes. Its eyes were golden, appearing dazzling and awe-inspiring.
Its strong limbs and paws, beautiful posture, sharp claws and fangs, and a tail that looked very flexible and powerful left no doubt about its close-combat capabilities. The tiger, as a creature, could be said to be the most perfect fighting beast nurtured by nature.
But suddenly, another change occurred on Sana's body, and all The Girls knew she was about to transform into her Human-Beast Form.
Events unfolded exactly as they had anticipated; the White Tiger began to change again.
After the azure tornado enveloped the White Tiger, the White Tiger slowly changed shape and size, returning to Sana's original human appearance, but with some differences.
Her arms and hands transformed into tiger limbs and paws, her eyes turned golden, and a tail sprouted behind her. The fangs in Sana's mouth became sharper, more pointed, and longer, a few whiskers appeared on both sides of her cheeks, and a pair of tiger ears grew on her head. Her feet also transformed into tiger feet.
The overall color scheme remained predominantly white with black stripes—this was definitely a White Tiger Girl.
Sana was filled with excitement and thrill as she examined herself. I've become stronger, I've really become stronger! She could even transform into a giant White Tiger and possess the ability to control wind and super strong close-combat skills.
Thinking of this, Sana's gratitude toward Luna grew even stronger, comparable to a majestic mountain piercing the clouds and standing firm.
Luna and The Girls were also very happy to see this. Sana had become stronger, possessing immense power, specifically the power of the White Tiger, one of the four legendary divine beasts.
Even as a Devil Fruit User, she was naturally still afraid of seawater and Sea Stone.
But Luna still had to give her the remaining items. For instance, while Sana was still transforming, Luna had already used two Awakening Cards on her. Sana actually now possessed the power of Observation Haki and Armament Haki, but she was too excited to notice that she had gained the awakening of these two types of Haki.
"Sana, these are your weapons." After Luna finished speaking, she immediately took out two weapons that looked highly technological.
Their colors were mainly azure and blue, with a slight touch of white, and they clearly seemed related to the wind element.
One was a large steel gauntlet that could be worn over the forearm; the fist part was slightly larger than an average person's head. The other appeared to be a lion head cannon that could also be worn over the forearm.
