I'm at the top of One Piece

She now has a head of slightly wavy black hair on top of her head.

It even made sounds, intermittent human language.

Instantly, Xiong Bao ran and frolicked excitedly in the snow, his clothes stretched taut.

Compared to Xiong Bao's carefree playfulness at this moment.

Moses had a different feeling; his body had become different, both similar and unfamiliar.

It felt like a foreign object was embedded in my body.

No, that's not right. It should be said that I myself was embedded in another foreign object.

breathe.

The breathing of the bear cub is vastly different in efficiency from its own.

With each breath.

As this state of fusion continued, Messer's mind calmed down, and a light screen panel was projected into his vision.

Moses looked at the panel in front of him, but no new abilities had appeared in the Gifts section.

But as expected.

After all, life history and experiences must be lived before they can be accumulated.

At this moment, the constantly changing scene in his field of vision also showed that Bear was still running around happily. However, Mercer also discovered that Bear was completely unaware of the light screen panel projected onto his retina.

Moses wasn't surprised either.

It's normal that you can't see it.

If I really see it.

"That only means that the Devil Fruit's rank is higher than my 'light sphere'."

But that's clearly not the case now.

I stopped thinking about anything else.

Moses' mind stirred, and he entered a state of oneness with nature, relying on his sense of connection with all things in the universe.

I sensed a peculiar frequency fluctuation, but it was different from the frequency fluctuation I emitted.

It's like having two different "consciousnesses" in one body, where one's own consciousness is the "secondary" one, while Xiong Bao's consciousness is the "primary" one.

"But the current situation is special after all."

"Our bodies can be said to have become one."

Mercer began to observe the frequency fluctuations, and in a state of harmony with nature, he began to align his own frequency fluctuations with those of Bear Cub.

As they fit in and merged, gradually, the frequency fluctuations represented by Mercer became consistent and identical with the frequency fluctuations of Bear Cub.

Since they are the same, they will start to interact.

They began to entangle themselves.

The next moment, Xiong Bao, who was running and frolicking in the snow forest, stopped with his left foot and suddenly lost control, and his whole "person" flipped over to the side.

His face was pressed against the snow.

What he didn't notice was that not only had he lost control of his left foot, but even his breathing had changed.

Mercer's eyes lit up. He had taken over the fusion body's breathing function. With each breath, he guided the energy throughout his body, and in the next moment, he regained control of his right leg, left hand, and right hand.

Moses stood up and rubbed his face.

The next moment, Xiong Bao started to speak, "Waaah, what's wrong with me?"

Did they not completely seize control? That's true, after all, one is not the subject.

At the same time, Messer also chuckled and said, "Nothing much, it's just that I took away control of the body. I've discovered that this is also a drawback of the Swallow-Swallow Fruit combined with a living being."

"Because objects have no consciousness, they can't take over your body after you combine them, but living beings can."

"And my situation is special. Generally speaking, if another creature tries to take your body, you can simply spit it out or imprison it in that 'dark stomach space,' and wait for it to be digested before transforming back out."

"Now, because of the state of oneness with nature achieved through breathing, our two fused bodies, under my further intervention, have entered a deeper level of fusion."

And since I'm stronger than you, I took control of this body.

"Oh, so that's how it is, you bastard!"

Xiong Bao spoke in human language, looking quite surprised. At the same time, Moses was equally surprised as he looked at his own hand.

Because Xiong Bao's consciousness has been suppressed, in the combined state, he is now in control.

An instinctive feeling arises.

Mercer began to walk, reaching out to hold onto a pine tree beside him. Suddenly, he opened his mouth wide, unusually wide, and bit down on the pine tree.

Click!

It turned its head and tore at the tree trunk with its mouth, biting off a large piece. It then puffed out its mouth and began to chew, swallowing it a few seconds later.

A taste experience unlike any I've ever had before came to mind.

"Hmm, how should I put it, it has such a refreshing taste, it feels like eating pine nuts."

As he spoke, his left hand began to change, transforming into a short sword.

Looking at the sharp knife he had crafted some time ago, which had been eaten by Xiong Bao, he saw it reappear before his eyes.

Moses smiled.

The short sword returned to his left hand.

"Mercy, so this is what it feels like when you breathe. It's amazing, so comfortable."

Speaking haltingly, Xiong Bao, from another "perspective" in his combined state, experienced the subtle changes that occurred inside his body with each breath.

"Then why don't you take this opportunity to remember it properly? It's a rare chance. While we're in this fused state, take a good look at our breathing."

"Okay, good."

"It's a bear," Xiong Bao said with his mouth.

Moses found it quite amusing that he could speak two different languages ​​as he continued his search for the crows in the snowy forest.

Feeling his stamina rapidly depleting, Mercer raised an eyebrow. "Is merging with living beings this physically demanding?"

"Hmm, compared to turning your body into a weapon, it's much more tiring."

Hearing Xiong Bao's words, Mercer understood, then suddenly froze, "Xiong Bao, why do I feel like you're talking more and more familiarly?"

With a blank expression, Xiong Bao was confused: "Eek, I don't know. I only know that after merging with you, I can naturally speak human language. Now, I don't know why, but I'm even more proficient at it."

Upon hearing this, Moses...

Don't think about it.

As the two "people" have become deeply integrated, and given that Xiong Bao has been with Kureha since childhood, the subtle influence has made Xiong Bao more fluent in the language.

"Alright, just spit me out, so you don't collapse from exhaustion and I have to take you back."

"Ok."

Mercer cleared his mind and stopped controlling his body. The next moment, Xiong Bao took control of his body. Then, Mercer felt a darkness before his eyes, and in a dizzying spin, he found himself in a dark place.

But only a few seconds later,

Then she felt something grab her body, followed by a feeling of weightlessness. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and Mercer's head popped out of Bear Cub's mouth. Bear Cub pulled her body with its right paw and dragged her away.

As soon as he landed, Moses looked around his body and found no sticky or wet sensation.

The experience was good.

Watching Xiong Bao turn back into his original bear form.

Messer stepped forward and pinched his cheek. "How does it feel?"

Xiong Bao blinked, mouth agape: "Ah~ Ee~ Ooh~ Okay~ Aww~"

He then scratched his head, looking unhappy, muttering "waaaaa" under his breath, his cheeks puffed out, and he plopped down on the ground.

Mercer chuckled and ruffled Xiong Bao's hair. "The Swallow Fruit should be able to change its skeletal structure through self-devouring. Why don't you give it a try?"

You shouldn't have forgotten how we felt when we were together, right?

Try it yourself and see if you can speak normally after changing the structure of your larynx. After all, your vocal cords are quite diverse.

Xiong Bao suddenly raised its head with a look of surprise. It immediately opened its lower half of its mouth wide and started to gnaw upwards. After gnawing on the nose, it gnawed on the head, and after gnawing on the head, it gnawed on the butt. After a few more bites, only a white fur ball remained on the spot.

Listening to the chewing sounds coming from inside the fur ball, Mercer watched with great interest, unsure if he could succeed.

That would be best.

It's okay if it doesn't work out.

There's always a way in the future.

For some reason, Xiong Bao's autophagy lasted exceptionally long this time, with chewing sounds echoing throughout.

What Moses didn't know was...

now,

In the pom-pom,

As Xiong Bao gnawed at himself, he thought about the changes in his body when they merged, the humanoid body he had after merging with Mercer, the body he had after Mercer took control of it and adjusted his breathing, and the feeling of talking to Mercer.

Driven by his inner desires, he used his abilities to adjust his bones and internal structure.

Click, click!

Seeing the grinding sound of bones coming from inside the fluffy ball in front of him, Mercer frowned. "I wonder what's going on."

However, Moses wasn't too worried.

Time ticked by, and Mercer, seeing that he still hadn't finished, was exasperated.

Walking around the fur ball.

He looked around at the trees.

There are quite a few different kinds of trees here.
