Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

Although everyone was a little confused, both Luffy and Chopper ate the dumplings anyway.

"Wait a minute, Byakuya," Nami couldn't help but ask, "It's okay for Chopper, but why does Luffy also want to eat dango?"

"What do you mean, forget it!" Chopper's eyes widened: "Before I ate the devil fruit, I was a reindeer!!!"

After hearing what Chopper said, everyone belatedly realized that Chopper was also an animal.

So the question is, is the reindeer that ate the Animal-Type Human-Human Fruit now considered an animal or a human?

"Don't worry." Bai Ye raised his hand to reassure everyone: "Although I'm not absolutely sure, but believe me, there shouldn't be a problem."

As it turns out, Xiaoyu cannot tame the two through Tuanzi.

"Well, it seems that there should be no problem. Even Chopper, who is an animal, can't tame it. It seems that Xiaoyu's dumplings still have some limitations." Robin came to the conclusion.

Xiaoyu didn't think it was a big deal. She had no interest in taming a group of people who could transform into animals.

Luffy, on the other hand, had no idea that he was being treated as a guinea pig. He even said with some regret, "It tastes pretty good, but it's too little to eat."

"That's not the point at all!!!" Usopp complained, "You should change your habit of eating whatever you see!"

"Eh?" Luffy tilted his head with a puzzled look: "But Bai Ye asked me to eat this, so it must be fine."

"That's not the problem." Sanji took over the conversation: "This experiment is to test whether Xiaoyu's dumplings can work on animal-type devil fruit users. Since Bai Ye asked you to eat it, that means..."

"You idiot, your devil fruit is not the superhuman type you said before." Zoro rolled his eyes and looked at Luffy with contempt.

"Eh?!!"

Now it was Luffy's turn to be shocked. He turned his head and looked at Bai Ye: "Is that really the case?!!"

Why are you so surprised?

Bai Ye's eyes were almost rolled up to his head. It seems that you didn't remember the conversation with Nika before...

Thinking of this, Bai Ye glanced at Tenguyama Hiche who had been sitting in the corner of the room without saying a word since just now.

Feiche: ...

If you don't want me to hear it, just say it. Who are you looking at? This is obviously my home... Do you really think I'm interested in your affairs? !

Well, I am somewhat interested.

Although he thought so in his heart, Tenguyama Hichet still stood up because the Straw Hat Pirates took out food.

"Then I will take Xiaoyu to deliver the remaining food to the town."

"Okay, Master!" Xiaoyu also nodded in agreement, and got up and left excitedly: "Lion Head, come and help too."

"Okay, Master~"

...

When only the Straw Hat Pirates were left in the room, Bai Ye spoke again:

"The fruit Luffy ate was indeed not of the superhuman type, but of the animal type. As for how I know this..."

As he spoke, Bai Ye reached out and pulled out a talisman and slapped it on the floor: "Let it tell you in person."

As a magic circle lit up, everyone's eyes gradually widened.

A shadow slowly emerged from Luffy's body!!!

The phantom looked a little vague, like a flame, but everyone could still vaguely see that its shape was similar to that of a human, and its size was similar to Chopper, like a little child.

The shadow first looked down at himself, then raised his head and stretched out his hand as a gesture of greeting.

At the same time, a voice sounded in everyone's mind: "Hello everyone, it's our first meeting, please take care of me~"

It was the same child's voice, and it sounded very polite.

Of course, not everyone thinks this way.

"Devil!!!" Usopp's loud shout brought everyone back to their senses.

At this moment, he was trembling as he hid behind Jinbei's huge body, holding a cross that had escaped at some point and pointing it at the shadow.

This shout was not a big deal, but it instantly triggered a chain reaction.

Chopper, with a pale face, jumped behind Usopp, wanting him to give him a cross as well.

Meli grabbed Bai Ye's Taoist robe tightly, trying to reduce his presence.

Even Brooke said with his teeth chattering: "I am most afraid of ghosts. I am so scared that my heart is about to jump out... Although I am a skeleton and don't have a heart..."

Bai Ye's mouth twitched...

"Calm down, Usopp, you idiot!" He punched Usopp without any mercy.

"You too, Chopper. Brook usually calls out souls, right? What are you afraid of?!"

"Especially you, Merry! You were just a spirit before, okay? Why are you afraid of ghosts?!"

"Brooke too, you're shaking my bones so hard they're about to break!!!"

Bai Ye complained to the others and revealed the identity of the phantom: "It's just the consciousness of Luffy's devil fruit. What's so scary about it?"

"Oh, so it's the consciousness of the devil fruit..." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously: "Then..."

"That's even more terrifying!!!"

This time, even the relatively calm Jinbei, Sanji and others couldn't control their expressions, and looked in shock at the shadow that seemed to be communicating with Luffy.

"Well, it seems to be true."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Luffy also spoke: "Before, when I was with the elephant, I suddenly could talk to it. That's how the fifth gear was developed."

After listening to Luffy's words, Nami couldn't help but said: "Uh... Don't say such a shocking thing in such a calm way..."

"Devil fruits actually have consciousness." Robin said to himself, "There are similar speculations in the books about devil fruits in the O'Hara Library, but they only believe that devil fruits have consciousness such as instinct. I didn't expect to see a consciousness that can communicate normally today..."

At this moment, Robin seemed to have discovered some treasure. He took out a notebook and wrote furiously, muttering to himself, "Maybe this is the right way..."

Ignoring Robin's mumbling, Nami looked at Bai Ye with some fear: "Don't tell me that there is such a guy hidden in my body."

The thought of having another conscious being in her head gave Nami goosebumps...

In this way, when you take a shower, you won't...

This one word woke people up. After hearing what Nami said, the faces of everyone who had eaten the devil fruit changed.

Fortunately, a voice sounded in their minds: "Of course I can't have every devil fruit, I have a very powerful one!"
