Chapter 480 The Song of Pirates and the Big Whale
The tough blue-brown skin reflects a moist luster.
The symbolic black afro is still retained, but a dorsal fin like a flying black flag grows from the top of the head to the back spine and tailbone.
In addition to still retaining the human trunk and limbs, Brooke at this moment is more like a swordfish that has become a sperm——
Forehead.
It should be said that it looks like the swordfish murloc among the murlocs in the murloc island.
Generally speaking, after taking the animal type Devil Fruit, the esper does have three different stages of transformation - human form, beast form, and human-animal form.
The changes in between also require ability users to continuously develop their own fruits in depth.
However, the swordfish fruit consumed by Brooke's resurrection experiment seemed to directly fix Brooke's torso into a "human-animal form."
While the fruit reaches the stomach in one step, the ability is also achieved in one step.
Adrian dispersed the power of death.
Brooke's body lost its support and fell from mid-air to the platform. The powerful beating of his heart could be clearly heard in the secret room.
The newly minted Afro-headed swordfish panted heavily to relieve the severe pain from the previous experiment.
A ray of mysterious light flashed in Adrian's eyes, and the [rational analysis] that could analyze the power of demons was used. He continued to analyze Brooke's situation at the moment, and at the same time he asked.
"How do you feel now?"
Brooke raised his arm with difficulty, looked at the bluish-brown skin on his palm, and the long sword-like nose that was somewhat blocking his sight, and said in a very complicated manner.
"I feel like I really turned into a swordfish..."
"Strictly speaking, you are now a swordfish fruit user, and you are not much different from a real swordfish."
Adrian reminded him calmly.
"Users with animal fruit abilities have the ability to transform. Your current state is somewhat similar to a human-animal form, but the human characteristics are not obvious. Try to see if you can transform."
Brooke nodded in agreement, then closed his eyes, trying to feel the power of the animal-type Devil Fruit, which was completely different from the Underworld Fruit.
After a long while, the swordfish raised its head and shook its head.
"No, there is no way I can achieve the 'transformation' you mentioned."
Adrian nodded, "It may take you some time to recover and become familiar with the power of the animal devil fruit."
In fact, Brooke at this moment is also a very good research material.
Although he lost the Underworld Fruit, as the only "Odd Man of the Sea" who came back from the dead and had his soul resurrected, Brooke's soul is indeed worthy of study.
At the same time, Brook's current physical condition is almost the same as the swordfish fish-man Adrian saw on Fish-Man Island.
Is the Fish Fruit related to the swordfish fishmen on Fishman Island?
If anything.
So, is the animal-type Devil Fruit, the symbol behind the Fish Fruit, related to the various strange animal races in the sea?
Adrian wanted to explore this secret, but the experimental materials were too scarce.
'Perhaps we need some help from others...'
‘Those scientists who have conducted in-depth research on [Bloodline Factor] and [Animal Devil Fruit]...’
‘The former [MADS]! ’
……
Three days later.
Brooke has completely recovered from the previous resurrection experiment, and both his body and soul have returned to normal.
However, he still had no way to transform and could only carry out daily activities in this fish-man posture.
Adrian didn't have a good solution.
He tried to extract Brook's soul body, but his soul was still a standard human appearance, but his body became a fish-man.
After [rational analysis] analyzing the ability of the swordfish fruit, Adrian felt that the power of this animal-type devil fruit seemed to have fallen into a state of "silence", which was very inert and almost impossible to flow.
This is probably the real reason why Brooke cannot use his ability to transform.
In any case, Brooke has now been successfully "resurrected". Although there is a slight physical problem, it is basically harmless.
After Adrian sorted out what he had gained during this period, he took Brooke directly with him on the "Flying Dutchman" and left the Devil's Triangle.
After sailing out of this sea area full of fog and resentful spirits, the group transferred to the Abyss and continued to sail towards the upside down mountain at the starting point of the paradise.
……
After a period of sailing.
The Abyss successfully crossed most of the paradise and arrived at Upside Down Mountain.
After Rumi used his ability to put away the ship, Adrian took Brooke with him and flew directly to the Twin Gorges.
After not seeing each other for several years, Kurokas's outfit has not changed much. He is still wearing a fancy short-sleeved shirt and his hairstyle looks like a blooming flower.
"Mr. Koulokas, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are still healthy!"
Adrian put Brooke down and took the lead in saying hello to Kurokas.
"The greatest swordsman in the world..."
The look in Kurokas's eyes was indescribable. After responding to Adrian's greeting, he looked directly at the green-skinned fish man and frowned slightly.
"This is...why do you feel familiar?"
"Yo ho ho ho! Mr. Kurokas, I haven't seen him for more than thirty years."
Brooke took off the black top hat on his afro and nodded slightly.
Kurokas's pupils shrank instantly and he looked at Brooke in disbelief.
"That familiar laugh and afro! You are... Brook, the musician of the Rumba Pirates!"
The old man's memory is obviously quite good.
Brook pretended to be relaxed and said, "Yes, Mr. Kurokas, I followed the agreement and came back. I don't know..."
Kurokas roared directly, and the sound seemed to be able to penetrate the land of the Twin Gorges and the turbulent sea water.
"Rabb! Rab! Brooke is back!"
Adrian stood aside with a smile on his face.
Watching the reunion between Kurokas, Brooke, and Rab, watching the afro crying and laughing, watching the island whale singing happily, and watching the ship doctor secretly wiping his tears ……
Adrian's heart was also filled with satisfaction.
Making up for the huge shortcomings in the original plot is also what he is willing to do.
At the same time, a notification sound of task completion came from the task panel.
[Resurrection of the soul body Brooke, allowing him to regain a body, and meet the island whale Rab again in the Twin Gorges, completing the oath made decades ago. Achieve mission completion condition 4】
[You have completed the A-level hidden mission [Promise]! 】
【You gain 1 billion experience points】
[You have received [Unknown Mysterious Reward] X1, do you want to claim it now? 】
Adrian glanced at Brooke and Rab who were still crying over there, and decided not to receive the reward for the time being.
The members of the Destiny Straw Hat Pirates have more than just dreams to fulfill!
At this moment, Brooke's melodious singing suddenly sounded, drifting along the sea breeze in the direction of the Grand Line, but it was the popular pirate song.
"...Bring Binx's wine,
Delivered to you,
Day after day,
In the dusk of dreams,
Never see the figure waving goodbye again.
Why are you frowning?
The moonlight will still be bright tomorrow night..."
Thank you very much to "Fiatsi" and "This Life Is Like You" for the 100 starting coins/book coins reward!
...Updated later than expected.
It was after five o'clock in the morning, and it was after five o'clock in the afternoon after sleeping...
