Chapter 43 – Baratie 06.

[Chapter Size: 2119 Words.]

Third Person POV

Baratie, East Blue.

“Somewhere in the sea, East Blue.”

Luffy drew his saber from the holster on his waist, which looked like a scimitar for the first time since he bought it at the system store. He didn’t know anything about fencing until now, but he could learn a little from this fight. Yamato, knowing that her opponent was very powerful, took it seriously as well. Mihawk might not be as tough as Kaido, but she couldn’t see who would win in a deathmatch. Still, she knew that this man could really cut through that club, so he wasn’t an easy opponent.

“Let’s start…” Luffy announced, enveloping his body in an amethyst aura, while Yamato had a white aura.

——————————

Regarding the silence that enveloped the area, only a strong wind echoed as a man and a woman radiated vibrant colors, facing the iconic swordsman before them. He kept his sword raised, patiently awaiting the unique display that would unfold before his eyes, aware that it was a rare spectacle, even for him.

Luffy, wearing only dark pants and a boot, proudly displayed his pirate cloak with the Jolly Roger as his body was enveloped in intense purple flames. The flames, amidst an amethyst aura, gave him a wild elegance, highlighting his scarlet eyes that glowed with determination for the battle.

[Since Yamato wasn’t entirely clear in the description, I made an interpretation. If adjustments are needed, please let me know.]

Beside him, Yamato also radiated intensely. A frigid aura, tinged with white, completely enveloped her. These two auras turned the atmosphere into chaos, creating winds that swept through the entire environment. The scene left all spectators stunned, while Krieg’s pirates closest to them fled in terror, even though they were hungry and weakened.

“What is this?!” Usopp exclaimed in the group watching from the restaurant, his eyes widened at the spectacle of amethyst flames and icy aura.

“Hey, where does this come from?! How can they shine like this?” Reiju also asked, stunned, trying to understand the origin of that impressive power.

“They are Devil Fruit users…” Zeff answered for her, but his surprise was no less as his eyes remained fixed on the imminent battle about to unfold.

“Fruits that give people powers just by eating them, like in legends?!” Patty exclaimed beside him, perplexed by the revelation.

“Yes, although I don’t know what kind of Devil Fruits they have, this explains a lot about the man’s strength, who even killed Krieg while no one was looking.” Zeff said, his eyes still glued to the imminent fight.

“Do you know which fruits they ate, Kuina-Sama?” Shirahoshi asked, curious about the origin of Luffy and Yamato’s extraordinary powers.

“I don’t know… it has always been a mystery to all of us. We only know that Luffy can create powerful flames, and Yamato can freeze even the sea…” Kuina replied. Despite being one of Luffy’s closest associates, he never fully revealed his potential, limiting himself to fighting with Yamato and using some powers, nothing compared to the spectacle unfolding before them.

“Yamato told me once they each ate a kind of Mythical Zoan, although I don’t know what that means. It must be worth a lot of money!” Nami commented, causing a surprised expression on Zeff at the unusual revelation.

“Mythical Zoan? Are you really serious?!” He exclaimed, looking quite frightened, drawing the attention of the other spectators.

“What’s the big deal, old man? Does that mean something?” Reiju asked, finding his reaction strange.

“Listen, stinky brat, there are three types of Devil Fruits: Paramecia, Logia, and Zoan.” He began to explain, gaining even more attention from everyone, even though they continued to focus on the auras covering Luffy, Yamato, and the sound of the wind blowing around. And he continued to speak.

“Pay attention. Paramecia grants strange powers, ranging from creating an invisible barrier to slowing down a target with lightning. Each fruit imposes a power limit, but that doesn’t mean you can’t become powerful, even if the ability initially seems weak. It all depends on the user and their imagination as they develop the fruit’s ability.”

“The Logias are considered invincible, as they transform the user into an element. Not only does the user acquire the power of that element, but their body also becomes elemental, making them immune to physical damage,” he said, gaining astonishment from his audience.

“But, as much as the body is elemental, there are many countermeasures to fight them. Now, about the Zoans, there is the Zoan fruit category, which transforms the user into an animal… but it can vary into three more categories in this classification. Let me explain: there are the common ones, which transform into any existing animal; right after these, the Ancient Zoans, which have the ability to transform into even more powerful animals, usually ancient and extinct or nearly extinct species in this world. They grant much more power to the user than the common ones. However, there is a third category of Zoans that makes you transform into a legend: the Mythical Zoans!”

“Does that mean they are that powerful?” Reiju couldn’t help but let her cigarette fall from her mouth at this moment.

“If we take the power level classifications of Devil Fruits, I would put it in this order: Common Zoans, Paramecias, Ancient Zoans, Logias, and the most powerful and rare of all, naturally, the Mythical Zoans. They are so rare that I heard you can count on your fingers how many users of them exist and that we know of, as far as the world has shown…” Zeff said, looking closely at Luffy and Yamato.

“Now, here, in this sea, in front of my restaurant, after retiring as a pirate, two Mythical Zoans appeared in a single crew… I’m sure that would shock the world if it appeared in a newspaper the next day…” He said, gaining the astonished look of all listeners. He wasn’t the only one with this thought.

Meanwhile, Mihawk was attentively observing his opponents. His sharp eyes analyzed every detail of Luffy and Yamato’s extraordinary transformations, while his words echoed in the atmospheric chaos.

“Two Mythical Zoans, I never expected that, even in the New World. What are the chances of witnessing something like this? It’s like asking to put Sengoku to fight Kaido… or a war between Whitebeard’s crew and the Beast Pirates. Something that would only happen in an event that would shake the world…” Mihawk said, narrowing his eyes, his impassive expression contrasting with the turmoil around him.

“Now I’m seeing newly arrived pirates with such power under the same flag… first that fascinating swordsman, Roronoa Zoro, who, despite being weak, has spirit and could become a challenge in the future if he doesn’t die. Now I’m seeing these two users with powers that only those at the top of the world possess.” Mihawk muttered fascinated, letting his emotion show. In a moment of pure admiration, he couldn’t contain the shout that escaped his lips.

“MY NAME IS DRACULA MIHAWK, TELL ME YOUR NAMES!” He shouted to his opponents, as a recognition as he did with Zoro until a moment ago.

“My name is Monkey D. Luffy.” Luffy said calmly, but his voice was heard thanks to his powers altering the sound.

“YAMATO!” Shouted the woman shrouded in the white aura.

The auras persisted for a few more precious seconds, announcing the start of the metamorphoses that would unfold in the bodies of Luffy and Yamato.

Luffy’s transformation was something magnificent to witness. His skin gained a purple hue, muscles slightly expanded, and peculiar scales emerged, forming a unique armor. These scales adorned his hands and waist, giving him an imposing appearance. On his head, two horns appeared, curving backward, while amethyst flames danced around his figure. Surprisingly, this time, no wings or an extension of his hair emerged, but the metamorphosis was so impressive that it left his adversary before him with eyes wide open, absorbing every detail of this extraordinary transformation.

The woman, surrounded by an icy aura, underwent an equally surprising metamorphosis. Her skin turned into white fur, simulating a layer of freshly fallen snow. Pointed ears emerged while horns grew, taking on longer tips on her forehead. She acquired the form of a humanoid wolf, replacing her feet with animalistic paws. Her hair grew even more, and a white, icy line drew a half-circle on her back.

Both auras, with their contrasting elements of amethyst fire and ice, created a magnificent vortex, highlighting the grandeur of the transformations occurring in their beings. The spectacle was hypnotic, capturing the attention of all spectators as they witnessed this demonstration of extraordinary power.

“Incredible, two Mythical Zoans! This is truly surprising, especially for newcomers in such a weak sea…” Mihawk pronounced these words even more excitedly; he really never expected this. He still wondered when he could see something like this in the New World, but ended up witnessing it in a simple amusement of hunting a weak pirate to this sea.

The auras suddenly disappeared, revealing the two transformed individuals, who in everyone’s opinion were no longer human, which also left them quite frightened.

A resplendent layer, emanating elemental power, covered various parts of their bodies, plunging the area into a silence charged with tension.

“Is that… is that Luffy-Sama?!” exclaimed Shirahoshi, her eyes widening in pure disbelief.

“My God, can they transform into this? Are these the most powerful Devil Fruits?” Usopp asked, surprise stamped on his face, unable to contain the question bubbling in his mind.

The silence was abruptly interrupted by the distinctive sound of an “Ouch!” uttered by some spectator, expressing their own perplexity at the unexpected transformation. The murmur of surprise and astonished whispers swept through the environment, creating an atmosphere of amazement and anticipation as everyone processed what they had just witnessed, while spectators tried to understand Luffy and Yamato’s stunning transformations.

“Is this… is it real?” Nami asked, her eyes showing perplexity.

“I knew they were powerful, but this is something else!” Kuina exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with a mix of respect and fascination.

“I didn’t expect this even in my wildest dreams…” Usopp commented, still processing what his eyes witnessed.

Reiju, who was closer to the front line, couldn’t hide her surprise. “These powers… are almost unbelievable.”

As the reactions unfolded, Mihawk, the silent observer, finally spoke: “Impressive… these youngsters have more than just strength. They have the potential to change the tides of this era.”

Yamato, in her humanoid wolf form, let out a soft growl, demonstrating her readiness for the approaching battle. The wind, now laden with the energy of the two Mythical Zoans, echoed through the surroundings, intensifying the already charged atmosphere.

“Old man, you don’t seem to be joking. I feel my instincts screaming not to get closer to them more than to that swordsman!” Reiju exclaimed beside him.

“Don’t be fooled, brat. They are powerful, no doubt, but unlike the wild aura they emit, Mihawk is much more controlled, so you have the impression that the two are stronger. But don’t forget they are in front of the world’s strongest swordsman… Even that kid who stole you knows he can’t win this fight. He said it himself before starting his transformation…” Zeff said calmly.

“Who said he stole me?!” Reiju shouted angrily as Zeff still insisted on something she didn’t agree with.

“They are going to start!” Kuina shouted, and all eyes turned back to the fight, which was about to begin.

————————————

Author’s note:

* I had Patty treat Devil Fruit users as legends, something that I personally find hard to swallow since Devil Fruits should be common knowledge in this world. Who doesn’t think about gaining powers by eating a horrible fruit? Besides, newspapers are always notifying about powerful users with their fruits! But since in the anime it is treated like this in the first episodes, I’ll put some people who believe that Devil Fruits are just legends in East Blue.

* Zeff’s explanation may not be so accurate about Devil Fruits, but I wanted the character to gain personality with his own thoughts, not a copy and paste from some wiki.

* The chapter didn’t move forward, I know, but I had to report how people would react to the transformations of phase 2, something that would yield many expressions and questions. But I’ll try to publish another one today.
