The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 78 Is this some kind of socially awkward bear?

Throughout the journey, Gorm showed shame about the unexpected attack on the Hibernian.

After all, if Charlotte and her group hadn't been quite strong, this would have led to a huge accident.

It's easy to see that Gom has a good personality, but he's prone to making mistakes whenever someone mispronounces his name or can't remember it.

He always said his name earnestly and patiently, trying to make people remember him.

What a strange fellow, Charlotte thought with a slight smile, though he didn't think anything of it.

There are plenty of strange people out there.

Soon a wooden house came into view.

"Master Pande, I'm back."

"You're back." A deep voice echoed from inside the wooden house.

Just by listening to that voice, you get a sense of maturity and composure! This is definitely a swordsman who lives in seclusion.

"Squeak!"

The moment the door opened, a thick man with an ordinary knife hanging from his waist, covered in black and white fur, was revealed. He was tall and strong... and quite stout.

The moment they were fully revealed, both sides froze on the spot.

"Panda Man!"

"The fur-bearers!"

"Humans!"

Several voices rang out simultaneously, filling the air with an awkward atmosphere.

Charlotte slapped Beta on the back of the head.

"Boss, why did you hit me again?"

Beta said with a resentful look on his face.

"What panda people? These are clearly mink!"

Charlotte said to Beta that although the panda man in front of her did look a bit like the most insignificant extra panda man in One Piece, she had never heard of this species in the One Piece world.

Only the fur-bearing tribes should be included.

Do fur-bearing tribes have pandas? They do have polar bears, so having pandas wouldn't be a big problem, since they're both bears.

Charlotte racked her brains but really couldn't recall anything!

"Master Pander, this is a seaman I met," Gom said earnestly to the panda Pander.

Pande's panda eyes widened, and he seemed somewhat apprehensive as he said, "Good...good, very good, Gem." He could barely speak properly.

This bear must be socially awkward!

Charlotte thought to herself, but still asked the question aloud.

"Is Mr. Pender a furrier?"

Pandaren Pander looked at Charlotte with a hint of unease in his eyes and asked.

What are fur-bearing tribes?

"Pfft!"

Lina laughed out loud, while Beta looked resentful, as if to say, "Look at this, boss, they don't even know what the Mink Tribe is."

Charlotte completely ignored Beta's gaze. He felt like his CPU had completely burned out, and awkwardly touched his chin.

If not a Mink, then what is it? Could it really be a Panda?

Pandaman is incredibly mysterious in the world of One Piece; he's definitely the strongest supporting character.

It appears on almost every battlefield in the main storyline.

The others were mostly puzzled, having never heard of such a race as the Pandaren!

Charlotte pondered, somewhat uncertain.

It is possible, perhaps, that a special race called Pandaren truly exists.

The ocean is so vast that it's not unreasonable for it to harbor one or two special races!

Just like Bartholomew Bear's Bakania tribe, Jhin's Lunarians, and so on.

Aren't these all races that are little known? They're even on the verge of extinction.

So it seems like there shouldn't be any problem.

Pande seemed to sense everyone's confusion, and after hesitating, he finally spoke.

"I...I'm actually a panda who ate a Devil Fruit."

???

A series of questions and speculations arose in the minds of the group.

Can animals eat Devil Fruits? This is a question many people have.

Charlotte's mind went blank for a moment, and then her eyes lit up.

It's important to know that weapons that eat Zoan-type Devil Fruits can gain life and become different kinds of creatures.

Such bizarre and unbelievable things can happen.

Of course, Vegapunk probably hasn't figured out this technology yet.

Chopper was originally an ordinary reindeer. It was only after eating the Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit that he gained human-like intelligence and the ability to communicate with animals and humans.

Did the panda-man Pander in front of us also eat a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, the Human-Human Fruit?

As for whether it was the fruit that Chopper ate, Charlotte had no idea.

But seeing a group of people surrounding Pandaren Pander and constantly poking him, Pander's fur felt like it was being electrocuted.

Charlotte's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot. Of course, it's understandable, since everyone was relatively inexperienced before.

Such things are rare, so the chances of encountering them are extremely low.

Charlotte quickly spoke up to stop her.

"Alright, alright, you bunch of people are making a fuss over nothing."

He was genuinely afraid of these guys; they might do something outrageous.

The group finally stopped, and Pande visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Even Gom, who had been pushed aside, breathed a sigh of relief.

"They even have weapons that eat Zoan-type Devil Fruits? You'd all be staring wide-eyed at the sight of that!"

"What? Boss, I'm not well-educated, don't lie to me." Beta said with an incredulous look.

Have you even read a book? Charlotte doesn't even want to complain. You have to have someone read your training notes to you. The most outrageous thing is that you have to write your training notes, and you just dictate them and have someone else write them down for you.

Faced with Charlotte's gaze, Beta felt inexplicably guilty and let out an awkward, silly laugh.

Charlotte ignored Beta.

Instead, he looked at Pande.

It's important to know that, apart from the Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, which is a common Devil Fruit...

If animals want to communicate like humans, then only certain Zoan-type, Mythical Zoan-type fruits can achieve this.

Just like Ushimaru in the Wano Country arc, his true form is a Komainu (a mythical fox) that ate a Zoan-type Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, and Great Nyūdō form.

This inevitably led Charlotte to have some other thoughts, and of course, there is a high possibility that it will be the Devil Fruit that Chopper eats later.

Ultimately, Chopper might not even have been born yet.

With a question in mind, Charlotte asked.

"Pander, is the Devil Fruit you ate shaped like a mushroom?"

Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Pender thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook his head.

Charlotte was startled. Could it really be a mythical beast?

Soon, through the demonstration by Pandaman Pander and the comparison of abilities in the Devil Fruit encyclopedia, it became clear how they were doing.

Charlotte was certain of one thing.

That means Pandaren Pendor's Devil Fruit is indeed a Mythical Zoan type.

This is an extremely rare existence, and not only that, but its development potential is astonishing, enough to make it one of the world's top powerhouses.

Characters like Kaido, Sengoku, and Marco the Phoenix...

Charlotte could hardly believe that there was someone who had eaten a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit in such a remote corner.

The Devil Fruit eaten by Pandaren Pendor should be the Zoan type, Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Asura form.

At that moment, Pande felt a shiver run through his body as he faced Charlotte's somewhat eerie gaze.

I have a very ominous feeling.
