Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Mythical Zoan: Nine-Tailed Fox
The Next Day
When El returned to Totto Land, he was greeted with good news from Sally's report:
The Hell Trading Company had successfully acquired the Mythical Zoan: Nine-Tailed Fox Form Devil Fruit from the black market.
"A Mythical Zoan: Nine-Tailed Fox Form?"
"What kind of abilities does it have? Does it allow the user to transform into the legendary Nine-Tailed Fox?"
Inside Atlantis, Linlin, Lillian, and Gerd were all visibly shocked.
"According to the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, the Nine-Tailed Fox Form allows the user to completely transform into another person—including their clothes, height, and even voice."
El chuckled. He hadn't expected back-to-back strokes of luck—
First, they had acquired Pure Gold. Now, they had obtained such a powerful ability.
"This is the perfect ability for espionage."
Sally smirked. "It allows for flawless disguises."
"For an ordinary person, this Devil Fruit might not be all that remarkable aside from its transformation abilities…"
El tapped his fingers lightly against the sofa, narrowing his eyes as he spoke:
"But if the user is a Lunarian—or better yet, a Lunarian with Giant heritage—then it's an entirely different story."
A massive physique combined with Lunarian durability, enhanced further by genetic modifications to strengthen their exoskeleton…
And on top of that—
A natural ability to control fire, a Nine-Tailed Fox transformation, and the power to freely change appearances at will?
It would be a walking calamity.
"El, now that you mention it, that actually sounds pretty terrifying…"
Gerd's eyes lit up in realization. She gently rested her hand on her slightly swollen belly. Smiling with crescent-shaped eyes, she laughed:
"Then I'm reserving this fruit for Hela-chan."
As a Soul-Soul Fruit user, her Devil Fruit's unique properties allowed the fetus inside her to absorb nutrients more efficiently, leading to faster development. Since learning it would be a girl, El had already chosen a name—
Hela.
"That's perfectly fine with me," El smiled.
The others exchanged glances and nodded approvingly, showing no objections.
...
Time passed quickly. Aside from the core members of the Fallen Angel Pirates, no one knew about the acquisition of Pure Gold. Everything continued as usual. In the blink of an eye, several months had passed. Though Linlin and the others who became pregnant first had yet to give birth, Gerd, who possessed the Soul-Soul Fruit, had already given birth ahead of everyone else—to a baby girl.
"Waaah~ Waaaah~"
The delicate and chubby newborn fluttered through the air, her tiny wings flapping. Although she wasn't as exaggeratedly monstrous as her older siblings, Thor and Sif, she had undergone Lineage Factor modifications, making her an exceptional nonetheiress. She had inherited the Lunarian racial abilities, the giant-like physique of her Giant ancestry, and even a reinforced exoskeleton—allowing her to release powerful electrical currents.
"Tzzzzzt... Damn, these Lineage Factor modifications are insane!"
Even the heavily pregnant Tsuru, Sally, Helen, and Lillian were in awe. Seeing the results firsthand, their confidence in the Lineage Factor modifications only grew stronger. They also finally understood why El had insisted on sending the pregnant Nef, Stussy, and Thesis into the future. Even if someone trained their entire life, the advantages brought by Lineage Factor modifications… were an insurmountable gap. If all Lunarian children in the future could reach this level… then they would truly be an invincible godly race.
"Kurorororo~ It's probably not just the Lineage Factor modifications."
Dr. Kureha stood nearby, arms crossed, leaning against a tree. Having long grown used to these Kukulkan family "little monsters," she laughed and remarked:
"This little one must have some innate talents of her own—that would explain why her exoskeleton appeared so early."
"Normally, even with Lineage Factor modifications, the exoskeleton wouldn't manifest until age two or three."
"It's likely the combined influence of her Giant and Lunarian heritage."
"Really?"
Holding the newborn, Gerd, who had completely recovered thanks to her Soul-Soul Fruit ability, was shocked. But this was actually great news. She had already reserved the Dog-Dog Fruit, Mythical Zoan: Nine-Tailed Fox Form, for this child.
Linlin simply laughed, unconcerned. "Mamamama~ As long as she's strong, it's all good!" She gently rubbed her belly, looking forward to the birth of her three children.
"If Arcas is number 11, then this little sister is number 12!"
Sif tilted her head in thought. Her big eyes blinked, looking toward El with curiosity.
"Papa, what's my sister's name?"
"Her name is Hela. You have to take good care of her, alright?"
El ruffled her hair, smiling warmly. "Hehehe, 12-chan is definitely going to be a cute and gentle girl!"
Thor grinned. "Not like Sif, who's loud, short-tempered, and acts like a total tomboy!"
"Hmph…!"
Sif's expression darkened instantly. Her body erupted in flames, and she stomped toward him aggressively. "Thor, you bastard—do you wanna fight?!"
Even though they were twins, Sif and Thor had never gotten along. The two would bicker constantly, often escalating into full-on fights. It had gotten so bad that even Linlin, who was usually calm and indulgent, had lost her temper more than once.
By comparison, Hyde and Athena—their younger twin siblings—had a much better relationship. While they sometimes argued, it rarely escalated into fights.
"Bzzzzzt!"
Lightning crackled as Thor retaliated. "As if I'd be scared of you!—Oww!"
SMACK!
Before he could finish, El struck him on the head. With a stern expression, El scolded his eldest son:
"Thor—where are your manners? Is that any way to talk about your sister?"
"Starting this afternoon—your training is doubled for a week!"
"Uwaahh—! Noooo!"
Thor wailed dramatically. "Father, I was wrong! I won't do it again!"
