Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Upon hearing Luffy and Nami say this, Merry immediately stopped crying and smiled again, becoming happy once more.

"So, what's in this box?" Usopp asked curiously as he leaned closer.

"I...I've seen it before."

Merry carefully opened the box.

It was lined with soft velvet, and in the center of the velvet lay a strangely shaped fruit.

The surface is covered with spiral patterns, and even more surprisingly, its color presents a flowing, dreamlike iridescent luster.

It's a Devil Fruit.

"This is a Devil Fruit?!"

Everyone exclaimed in unison.

Another Devil Fruit!

This was definitely a pleasant surprise.

I encountered a Devil Fruit before when I was on Skypiea, and now I've encountered another one.

What I said before seems to be true; it looks like the Straw Hat crew is all going to become Devil Fruit users.

"Who wants to eat?" Merry asked.

Looking at Merry's still somewhat apprehensive face, Luffy smiled and said, "Since you found it, of course you should eat it. Just like Vivi before, she was the one who discovered the Wind-Wind Fruit."

"Me, me?"

Merry pointed to herself, looking somewhat bewildered.

She looked around and realized that everyone's eyes were already on her.

This can be considered a tacit understanding.

If someone who isn't a Devil Fruit user finds a Devil Fruit, of course they'll eat it themselves.

Vivi crouched down and examined the fruit carefully. She had seen the Devil Fruit encyclopedia when she was in the national treasury, so she recognized this fruit.

Vivi breathed a sigh of relief.

It's so embarrassing that I had seen the Devil Fruit encyclopedia before, but I didn't have any impression of Luffy's fruit or the Wind-Wind Fruit at first.

If she were to encounter another Devil Fruit that wasn't listed in the catalog, she would wonder if she had read a fake Devil Fruit encyclopedia.

"If I remember correctly, this fruit should be a Zoan-type Devil Fruit."

"Zoan type?"

Chopper tilted his head.

Chopper himself ate a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, so he was even more curious.

“Yes, it’s a Zoan-type Devil Fruit.” Vivi’s tone was tinged with surprise. “And it’s an extremely rare Mythical Zoan type!”

"Mythical Zoan?"

Luffy remembered what Nika had said.

His Gum-Gum Fruit is actually a Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nikka form.

However, the other members were unaware of this.

Luffy knew that there was such a category as Zoan-type Devil Fruits, but he didn't know much about it, and his crewmates knew even less.

Chopper asked curiously, "What is a Mythical Zoan? Is it the same as my Human-Human Fruit?"

Vivi explained, "Zoan-type Devil Fruits are mainly divided into Common Type, Ancient Type, and Mythical Type."

Common Zoan types are living animals, Ancient Zoan types are animals from ancient times, while Mythical Zoan types are creatures or beings from myths or legends. They not only possess the physical enhancement and shape-changing abilities unique to Zoan types, but often also have special, even miraculous, abilities.

"It's an even rarer species than the Logia type!"

Everyone was stunned, their eyes once again focusing on the seven-colored fruit, filled with astonishment.

Even rarer than the Natural type?

Merry listened to Vivi's explanation, looked at everyone, and finally his gaze fell on Luffy's encouraging smile.

She took a deep breath, as if making up her mind: "Then I'll eat it?"

Luffy nodded: "Of course! Whoever finds it keeps it!"

Merry reached out her small hand, picked up the seven-colored fruit that was slightly larger than her palm, closed her eyes, and carefully took a small bite as if she were facing some kind of torture.

She had heard that Devil Fruits were hard to eat.

But I didn't expect it to taste so bad!

Well!

Instantly, Merry's entire face scrunched up as the indescribable smell, like a mixture of spoiled garbage, assaulted her very soul.

She instinctively felt like vomiting.

"Don't vomit!"

Luffy reacted quickly, covering Merry's mouth with his hand and admonishing her with his experience, "Spitting it out the first time won't have any effect, swallow it!"

With tears welling up in her eyes, Merry forced herself to swallow the small piece of fruit, enduring the nauseating taste.

Then, with a cry of distress, she threw herself into Luffy's arms and buried her face in them.

"Just eat it and you'll feel better."

Luffy patted Merry on the back to comfort him.

He recalled how he had swallowed an entire Devil Fruit in one gulp; he was truly a warrior.

After eating it, he fasted for a day and recovered.

Chapter 277 Famous Sword Series

“Weiwei,”

Nami couldn't wait to ask, "What kind of Devil Fruit is this?"

Vivi smiled and gestured for Meli to speak.

Merry lifted her head from Luffy's arms, looking utterly aggrieved.

Tears still clung to her little face, but her eyes lit up as she accepted the news of the Devil Fruit.

She was originally just clinging to Luffy's leg, but suddenly she jumped and hung on Luffy's neck like a koala.

"Luffy, I have a new form!"

Merry said excitedly.

"A new form?"

Luffy curiously hugged her tightly.

Merry closed her eyes, seemingly sensing the power within her body.

The next moment, to everyone's surprise, Merry in Luffy's arms suddenly became heavier and her height began to change.

A seven-colored halo swirled around her, as if she were shimmering with a glassy brilliance.

In the blink of an eye, the cute little girl disappeared, and in her place stood a graceful young woman!

She looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a cold and alluring face, fair and translucent skin as if carved from glass and jade, and long, jet-black hair that seemed to shimmer with light. She exuded a cool and noble aura.

"Is that Merry?!"

Usopp's eyes widened.

Chopper's mouth dropped open: "Wow, so beautiful!"

When Merry, in her girl form, opened her eyes, her pupils shone like seven-colored gemstones.

She seemed a little unaccustomed to this form, and her voice changed to a clear and melodious girlish voice: "This is a Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit Mythical Zoan, Glass Form."

The crowd erupted in uproar.

Mythical Zoan!

It really is a Mythical Zoan!

However, after her initial shock, Nami frowned slightly as she looked at the curvaceous young woman, Merry, clinging tightly to Luffy.

"Merry, get off Luffy first."

The girl, Merry, blinked her beautiful eyes. Instead of getting down, she hugged him even tighter, a sly yet innocent smile on her face: "I'm out of energy. I just transformed, and it took a lot of energy."

As she spoke, she almost completely collapsed into Luffy's arms.

Nami's forehead veins bulged as she stepped forward, trying to pull Merry off: "If you're too weak, quickly transform back or I'll help you!"

"No~ Luffy feels more comfortable." Merry clung tightly to Luffy's neck, refusing to let go.

Nami laughed in exasperation.

Didn't you say you had no energy?

No matter how hard I pull, I can't budge it; it's like a cow.

Luffy didn't feel anything, but he did notice that Merry had gotten a lot heavier. He laughed and said, "I told you Zoan-types are the most interesting."

"Tsk, that's great, we have another Devil Fruit user on our ship. We're almost all Devil Fruit users now," Zoro couldn't help but say.

"Super! Even Little Merry has become so feminine, but she looks really good in this form."

After a while, Merry finally got off Luffy and showed everyone her abilities.

Because she is a ship spirit, and her true form is a ship, the power of the Devil Fruit not only affects her human form but also manifests on the ship!

She focused her mind and saw that the edges, railings, and even parts of the deck of the Sunny and the Going Merry next to it were beginning to be covered with a layer of crystal-clear, shimmering, iridescent glass.

This layer of glass looks beautiful, yet it exudes an aura of indestructibility.
