A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 87 Zoan-type Devil Fruits Make Their Grand Debut
"Miss Yamoto?!"

As the short-haired girl fell backward, everyone was shocked.

You should know that she is a supernatural expert who was able to confront that 'princess' from the fairy tale world head-on for a period of time.

She was unharmed by bullets: Yamoto's evasion was practically a passive skill.

Now he's been seriously injured by the opponent from a distance with a single strike?

Snapped,

Kaori Inoue raised her hand to support the girl, preventing her from falling directly to the ground.

"What kind of attack is this?"

It looks like some kind of 'curse out of thin air' ability, and the source of the curse is naturally over there.

boom!
Kaori Inoue raised her hand and fired a shot at the fierce-looking, burly man on the wooden platform.

The shot was still terribly off-target: it hit the woods next to them.

Click click click

As the tree struck by the bullet fell, countless grotesque human heads rolled out from its trunk!
? ?
This shot
Not to mention others, even the burly man on the wooden platform was stunned.

"I see!"

Witnessing all those severed heads, Miya Kana suddenly realized what was going on.

“We are in the punishment field of ‘Nose Town’.”

Knowing that others probably didn't understand, Miya Kana immediately explained:
“This place has been used by local daimyo and powerful figures to execute enemies since ancient times; there is even a record of two daimyo in this area requesting permission from the shogun to ‘exchange’ the peasants under their jurisdiction who caused trouble.”

In short, it was the execution ground.

The prisoners' bodies were not buried.
Over time, this place became a desolate forest.

This is one of Osaka's nine most ominous places: of course, in the days before supernatural powers, it was just a place for people to "go for a spring outing".

Now, with the return of supernatural forces, the world has become 'distorted'.

"Humph,"

Having his background exposed, the fierce-looking executioner's gaze fell on Miya Kana.

"Bring the prisoner here!"

With a shout, two servants immediately grabbed a figure in a kimono and carried him onto the wooden platform.

"Hey?!"

"Traitor to the nation, he should be executed!"

Before Miyako Kana could react, her opponent swiftly brought down the knife.

Pfft

A mouthful of blood gushed out.

Before she could do anything, Miyako Kana staggered backward, almost losing her balance on the spot.

The other party wasn't making baseless accusations. If Miya Kana secretly gave her blood to her friend, wouldn't that be 'betraying the interests of the island nation'?

"Stop him! Stop him!"

Seriously injured without warning
Miya Kana clutched her chest, relying solely on others:

With a single glance, the remaining supernatural beings all retreated.

What a joke! The other party is clearly an 'executioner'. He can harm people remotely just by reciting their crimes. Who can be honest about it?

Even Kaori Inoue hesitated.

To help her lawyer brother, she subtly 'trampled' on the law.

This is normal: if there are no special privileges, why should anyone work hard? They might as well just give up.

However, there were still some people present who dared to step forward:
"What executioner!"

The clay figure strode towards the wooden platform.
"If you represent justice, why don't you judge those murderous monsters?"

For Kazuma Sato, all he saw was his companions who came to stop the monster from harming people, two of whom were seriously injured as soon as they landed.

"Humph,"

The vicious executioner swept his gaze across the clay figurines rushing towards the wooden platform:
"Charge the execution ground, clang!"

"These are the charges you just listed, aren't they?"

"I disagree—"

boom! !

He raised his fist, as big as a clay pot, and slammed it onto the wooden table.

Clay dolls are, after all, Homies—no, 'possessed objects'—so their power naturally surpasses that of ordinary people.

With one punch, the wooden platform snapped with a crack, causing the 'executioner' to lose his footing.

Ok?
Is this even possible?
As long as you don't confess, you won't be beheaded.
Thinking about it carefully, it does have a touch of 'dark humor'.

In the Osaka night sky, the little boy 'Taisho', dressed in white and wearing a black hat, chuckled to himself.

The so-called "inauspicious place" is actually an illusion created by someone using the "Song-Song Fruit" and combined with the dream power of the "Kirin Fruit".

Essentially, it involves using the 'subconscious' to harm people: those in this area can be seen as trapped in a 'lucid dream'; if this ability is continuously developed and strengthened, it is not impossible to create a 'phantom' that covers the entire world.

Devil Fruit abilities are incredibly diverse.

In this respect, domineering is far inferior: domineering can only be used in battle.

Of course, even with the help of the spiritual power of a large number of people who are in a deep sleep, only nine locations can be manifested now.

"The samurai at the 'Kumara-ji' well of Hioka Shrine, the ghost of the 'buried rice' in Umeda, the ghostly figure in the Inunakiyama Tunnel, the fire at Sennichimae Department Store, and the hanging ruins in Shinsekai Ward."

"In addition, there's room 308 at the Kansai Hotel, the Nose Town Punishment Ground, the Beizuka Tuberculosis Hospital, and Ajari no Mori."

These are Osaka's 'Nine Most Happinessy Places'

In most areas, there have been numerous mysterious deaths or repeated suicides;

With the 'subconscious' influence of countless Osaka residents, the Devil Fruit ability manifests as terrifying supernatural scenes.

"So how you use your abilities is entirely up to you."

Shanks' daughter, Uta, is the 'Number One Diva' in the One Piece world;
Therefore, the spiritual space she created with the 'Song Fruit' is a very beautiful and dreamlike stage.

But this cannot conceal her true goal: to kill most of the people in that world. Using radio den Den Mushi, she plans to spread her song across the world and the Grand Line, pulling everyone into her mental space: the worldwide 'Infinite Tsukuyomi'.

If she succeeds, everyone will be able to live a 'wonderful' life in her spiritual world.

In other words, it means instantly killing the vast majority of people in the world.

The merfolk were overjoyed: The land was theirs!
"These are some of the rare Devil Fruits capable of destroying the world." Using them to create 'dangerous lands' for the people of this world to level up is a complete waste of their potential.

"So,"

"I also started my own experiments."

On the other side, the classical woman 'Noblewoman', composed of ink, vanished without a trace in a flash.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Who should be chosen as experimental material?

The 'noblewoman' who transforms into a shadow and swiftly moves through the city selects her test subjects from all directions.

The experiment she is about to conduct is to grant, enhance, develop, and explore the potential for 'awakening' Zoan-type Devil Fruits.

That's right,

It's the Zoan series.

Logically speaking, Zoan-type Devil Fruits are the closest to 'monsters'.

However, until now, no one has ever bestowed a 'Zoan-type Devil Fruit' because:

"Too weak in the early stages!"

Ordinary Zoan-type demons,
Its impact on combat effectiveness can only be described as 'useless'.

Transform into some kind of animal, or maintain a hybrid animal-human 'human-animal form', and then—

Gone.

Among the three major types of Devil Fruits,

Ordinary Zoan-type Pokémon are truly 'even dogs wouldn't eat them'!
Because there are as many as five 'Dog-Dog Fruits' in their normal forms alone! Dachshund form, Jackal form, Wolf form, Dalmatian form, and Hound form. For most dogs, eating these fruits really makes no difference.

Just like that famous 'Human Fruit - Commoner Form'.

Aside from becoming a landlubber, you'll just need to increase your intelligence.

"These early-stage, low-quality fruits are too embarrassing to show to anyone."

As the shadows moved through the skyscrapers, they also pondered who should be chosen to become the first user of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

Animal-type characters are simply too weak in the early game.

In modern society, someone with the ability to be knocked down by guns and cannons would be nothing more than a source of experimental material for the government.

As physical skills and Haki improve in the later stages, the physical enhancement characteristics of Zoan-type users will gradually become apparent: simply put, the stronger the user is, the stronger the Zoan-type user becomes.

Aside from mythical beasts, those are tanky creatures with various 'paramecia' or even 'logic' abilities, supposedly even rarer than logic ones—in reality, they're not exactly everywhere in the New World, but they're certainly not rare either.

So--

"Tennoji Zoo, let's go here."

The shadows, transformed into two dimensions and moving at high speed on the building, 'stand up' and recombine to form a classical ink-colored beauty.

Tennoji Zoo

A large urban zoo located in Chausuyama-cho, Tennoji Ward, Osaka City.

The park covers an area of ​​11 hectares and is home to 930 animals, including African savanna animals, Asian wild animals and rare species. It uses an 'ecological display' approach to recreate the habitat environment and features themed exhibition areas such as African tropical savanna and Asian tropical rainforest, as well as a nocturnal animal pavilion.

Since Zoan-type Devil Fruits are too weak in the early stages,
Then find a 'strong' consumer to get through the early stages.

"Gululu~~"

"Roar!"

Inside the zoo, there were uneasy sounds from all kinds of birds and beasts. The voices of the two-legged creatures that kept them were coming from outside the zoo: even if they couldn't understand human speech, the fear, panic, and despair contained in the sounds still made these animals feel that something was wrong.

If they could think, they would surely ask:

Is there anything in this world that can terrify two-legged creatures?
The answer is:
Other two-legged creatures.

"Yes,"

Standing in front of an iron cage, the woman in black stopped in her tracks.

"Roar~~"

A huge creature lay in the cage, with a large, round head, a short snout, and most striking of all, a ring of brown mane that extended all the way to its shoulders and chest.

Without a doubt, this is a male lion!
King of the Grasslands.

"I've decided on you."

These metal fences, of course, could not stop the beauty in black.
Easily passing through the fence, and amidst the wary lion that rose and retreated repeatedly, he gently stroked its massive head.

?

In a flash,

The power of another being surged into its body.

Strength, speed, physique. Not only that, even their IQ suddenly increased significantly.

After all, many animals in the One Piece world, aside from not being able to speak, are actually quite intelligent: there's even a baboon called the 'Human Imitation Man' that can use guns and cannons.

"Roar?!"

The enormous lion sat up, a clear look of confusion on its face.

At the same time, its body began to stretch, its muscles expanded, black stripes appeared on its fur, and two huge canine teeth extended out. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a giant beast three meters long!

With its golden mane, it's the epitome of power, wildness, and savagery.

"Let's go cause a ruckus!"

The woman in black stood before the giant beast and casually waved her hand.

Cat-Cat Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Saber-toothed Tiger Form

Ordinary Zoan-types are really not up to par, so let's try using 'Ancient Species' first: hopefully they won't be easily wiped out by the army.

"Roar~?!"

The lion, or more accurately, the giant beast whose gaze suddenly rose higher, flashed before my eyes; the strange two-legged creature from before vanished, leaving only the now slender cage, from which it tentatively extended its claws.

Gaa gaa gaa

After a metallic twisting sound, the enormous 'liger beast' burst out of its cage and roared to the sky!

"Roar----!!"

The beast has been unleashed.
