One Piece : I Became a Monster Just by Eating

The images in this memory fragment left Kaguya utterly shocked.

Because the start of the vision was the scene of Kaguya inside the spatial tunnel, where he was in a state of unconsciousness.

However, Kaguya could now clearly see the entire process of his transmigration.

In the void outside the spatial tunnel, two massive figures could be vaguely seen fighting. One dragon-shaped figure was struck by a bolt of black lightning and let out a heaven-shaking roar.

In that split second, a drop of golden blood splashed from the dragon-shaped creature’s wound, happened to drill into the spatial tunnel, and came to this world along with Kaguya.

However, the timing of that golden blood’s appearance in this world was different from Kaguya’s; it had appeared several thousand years earlier.

At that time, this island could not be called an island, but was instead a continent.

The energy radiated by the golden blood attracted powerful nearby creatures to fight over it.

As time passed, the struggle grew more intense, and creatures from even further away joined in.

These creatures were all massive in size and possessed terrifying strength.

They all wanted to obtain this drop of blood, and so a war broke out.

The entire continent fell apart amidst the slaughter of countless giant beasts, eventually leaving only this isolated island.

Over the long years, that drop of golden blood gradually fused with a portion of this world’s rules, eventually becoming this Devil Fruit.

After turning into a Devil Fruit, that energy fluctuation became restrained instead, no longer attracting the attention of those powerful creatures.

It quietly sank underground, sleeping in this graveyard piled high with the skeletons of countless giant beasts, waiting for its destined master.

As for why Kaguya came here, part of it was destiny, and part of it was the active intervention of this Devil Fruit.

During the process of transmigrating to this world, that drop of golden blood had recorded Kaguya’s aura.

Therefore, once Kaguya approached within a certain distance, it would actively attract Kaguya to come forward.

When Kaguya finished absorbing the memories and woke up, he found that he had already appeared in Nojiko’s arms.

“You’re awake!”

“Yeah, how long was I out?”

“Less than a minute…”

“That’s good.”

Kaguya sat up and rubbed his brow.

“Hmm? Where’s the Devil Fruit?”

Kaguya discovered that the Devil Fruit he had just been holding in his hand was actually gone.

“I just saw that the moment you grabbed that Devil Fruit, it turned into a streak of golden light and bored into your body… perhaps it wasn’t a Devil Fruit at all.”

Hearing this, Kaguya began to carefully sense the changes within his body.

He could feel an ancient and powerful force flowing through his blood.

The next second, under Nojiko’s shocked gaze, a pair of dragon horns grew from Kaguya, and his limbs were covered in fine, reddish-gold dragon scales.

His pupils became vertical slits, and his distinct black and white eyes were gradually replaced by a reddish-gold light.

Kaguya reached out a claw and lightly tapped in front of Nojiko; the time around Nojiko’s body was frozen.

But Nojiko wasn’t frozen for long; after a few seconds, the time around Nojiko returned to normal.

And Nojiko had not noticed anything unusual from beginning to end.

“Is it that my strength is still insufficient, or is the power of that drop of blood limited?”

Kaguya found that although he could manipulate time, the range was limited and the duration was extremely short.

He looked down at his arm covered in dragon scales; he could feel the power in his body still rapidly growing with the help of the golden blood.

“It seems I need time to adapt to this power…”

Kaguya muttered to himself.

“Kaguya, was that a Devil Fruit just now?”

Nojiko asked curiously, looking at the greatly transformed Kaguya.

Kaguya thought for a moment, then nodded.

“It is a Devil Fruit.

Zoan Type, Mythical Zoan, God of Time: Torch Dragon Form.”

Hearing this, she gasped, an unbelievable light flashing in her eyes.

“Mythical Zoan… and it controls time…”

“Now is not the time for shock. Fly out and call Nami over to take this blood away.

This is all the Blood Essence of those ancient creatures; it has a strong enhancing effect on the constitution.

I will stay here to maintain the Force Field Barrier and prevent the seawater overhead from falling down.”

Hearing this, Nojiko immediately flew back in the direction she came from.

Kaguya then went to the center of the blood pool, released the power of the Torch Dragon, and used the surrounding stone pillars to maintain the special force field of this island.

Before long, Nojiko returned with Nami.

Nami didn’t waste any words and immediately used a Barrier Ball to pack up all the Blood Essence in the blood pool.

Subsequently, the three of them quickly rushed out of the underground cave.

Upon coming out, Kaguya transformed into the Torch Dragon and flew towards the Dragon Ten Thousand Miles with the two women.

Because the enhancement of the Torch Dragon’s power was gone, the force field began to weaken, and the seawater overhead started dripping down.

After returning to the Dragon Ten Thousand Miles and confirming everyone was there, Nami immediately wrapped the entire ship in a Barrier.

At the very moment the Barrier closed, the entire island suddenly shook violently.

The seawater that was originally suspended in mid-air crashed down, smashing into the ground like the sky collapsing.

The massive impact force kicked up towering waves, pushing even the Dragon Ten Thousand Miles hundreds of meters away.

“Moo~”

Poor Moomoo was also washed away by this wave.

Seeing Moomoo’s pitiful state, Nami also put a Barrier over it.

When the Dragon Ten Thousand Miles floated back to the sea surface, the eerie weather on the sea had long since disappeared.

“Finally out!”

Dezaya breathed a long sigh of relief, slumping down on the deck.

“Master~

What did you find in the underground cave?

I saw you turned into a dragon just now, did you eat a Devil Fruit?”

Honey Queen leaned close to Kaguya, who had already returned to human form, and asked curiously with wide eyes.

Vivi and the others also looked at Kaguya with faces full of curiosity.

Compared to Nojiko and the others who had explored the island, Kaya and Makino, who were left on the ship, were even more curious.

“Yeah, I did find a Devil Fruit; it’s a Mythical Zoan, very strong.”

Kaguya felt the surging power in his body, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly.

“Kaguya, how do we use this blood?”

Nami pointed to the huge Barrier Ball floating beside her and asked.

“This Blood Essence contains very strong energy. Kaya and the others have relatively weak constitutions and need to soak in it after it’s diluted. You, Nojiko, and Honey Queen should be able to soak in it directly.”

“What is this blood?”

Hearing that they were to use this blood to bathe, Makino wrinkled her nose in slight resistance.

Kaguya gently held her hand and explained.

“This is the Blood Essence of ancient giant beasts. After being refined by a special power, it no longer has any fishy smell.

On the contrary, they will emit a faint fragrance.

We won’t leave for now; we’ll set off after you’ve finished absorbing it.”

“What! Then Alaba…”

Hearing that they were staying here, Vivi immediately became anxious.

Kaguya patted her shoulder reassuringly.

“Don’t worry, Crocodile won’t usurp the kingdom just yet.

Moreover, absorbing this blood won’t take many days.

Once your strength has improved, we can solve Alabasta’s troubles more securely.”
