"Elephant-Elephant Fruit!"
"Mammoth Form?!"
Wang Haoyu unconsciously repeated Yuuto Kagami's words, still wearing a face of surprise—though now with a trace of confusion, as if he didn't quite grasp the significance of the Mammoth Fruit's power.
Elephant-Elephant Fruit? So after eating it, you turn into… an elephant?
Wait—did Yuuto just say mammoth? Like, the prehistoric Ice Age mammoth?!
Pretty sure he did. "Ancient Zoan-type" refers to animals from ancient or extinct eras.
Whoa… I remember reading that mammoths were huge, and insanely heavy. Back in the dinosaur era, only the T-Rex could really overpower them, right?
Sounds impressive, but it depends on the comparison. If we're talking about the Ice-Ice Fruit or the String-String Fruit, which can literally change climates or slice anything… the mammoth seems kinda mid.
Yeah, transformation is cool and all, but is it really that strong?
I don't think it's that simple. Didn't Yuuto already say the strength of a Devil Fruit depends on how well it's developed? The Mammoth Fruit probably has a lot of potential.
Yuuto Kagami began calmly:
"Earlier, when I explained the Ice-Ice Fruit and the String-String Fruit, I briefly touched on the Zoan-type Devil Fruits."
"But just now, I noticed some of you in the chat still think Zoan-type Fruits are just about turning into animals… That's a misunderstanding."
"So let me explain in more detail."
The barrage of bullet comments came to an abrupt halt.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for Yuuto Kagami's breakdown—especially Wang Haoyu, who was about to become a Devil Fruit user himself.
"The so-called Zoan-type Devil Fruits…"
"…allow the user to transform into specific animals."
"But once transformed, you don't just take on the appearance of the animal—you gain its primal strength, enhanced physical abilities, and sometimes even special traits unique to that species."
"Every Zoan-type user can shift between three forms: Human Form, Human-Beast Form, and Full Beast Form."
Human form? Human-beast? Beast form?
Dang, that's a lot more involved than I thought!
Human-Beast form… wait, is that what I think it is?
Lmao, you didn't say it, but we all know exactly what you meant.
This is totally different from Logia or Paramecia types!
Yuuto Kagami went on:
"Human Form is your normal state—your current human appearance."
"Human-Beast Form is a hybrid: you retain most of your human shape, but parts of your body transform into that of the animal—like claws from a leopard, wings from a bird, fangs and tails from a dinosaur…"
"And Full Beast Form means you transform completely into the animal itself—while still retaining your human intelligence."
"Because of this multi-form flexibility and the physical enhancements Zoan types provide, they're considered the strongest in hand-to-hand combat and close-quarters fighting."
"More importantly—"
"After a Zoan Awakening, the user's strength isn't just enhanced—they break past the limits of the original species."
"They also gain monstrous recovery and stamina, becoming the kind of monster that can stand back up no matter how many times you knock them down."
This thorough explanation got the audience buzzing.
Some viewers began to change their minds about Zoan fruits—though a few still held their reservations.
Okay, after that, I'm honestly interested in Zoan-type Fruits.
Yeah, if you eat the Mammoth Fruit, you get that beastly strength instantly—that's way more useful than fiddling with string powers.
So Human-Beast Form is like... half-human, half-mammoth?
Ugh… does that mean you grow a massive trunk in hybrid form? I dunno if I can handle that image.
Even without elemental powers, raw strength is awesome! I love slugfests with fists flying!
You mean in games, right? In real life you'd get folded in a second.
Did you not hear? Yuuto said awakened Zoan users can recover like monsters. Who cares how many times they get hit—they'll get back up anyway!
I still think Logia users are stronger though.
Then Yuuto Kagami turned to Wang Haoyu.
"Wang Haoyu, the Mammoth Fruit you've obtained—its power is far beyond what you can imagine."
"It grants you immense strength, a towering physique, insane durability, and even enhanced regeneration."
"In hybrid or full form, you'll be able to crush buildings and crack open the ground without effort."
"And once you awaken, your strength will skyrocket even further—to the point where you could even drag an entire small island!"
WHAT?! Mammoth Awakening lets you drag an ISLAND??
Hold on, a whole damn island?? That's insane!!
Well, "small" is subjective… We don't know how big Yuuto means.
Still, an island's an island. Even a small one isn't something you just move around like a shopping cart.
Yuuto Kagami added:
"Of course, whether or not you eat this Mammoth Fruit is entirely up to you."
"If you're not fond of turning into a mammoth yourself, there's another option—"
"You can have a weapon eat the Devil Fruit instead. For example, a long sword or broadsaber. If the weapon 'consumes' the fruit, it gains the Mammoth's powers—and you'll be able to wield them through the weapon itself."
With that, Yuuto Kagami shrugged.
His science lesson was done. Now it was up to Wang Haoyu to decide.
But the livestream chat… was in utter disbelief.
???
Wait, WHAT did Yuuto just say?
A weapon eats the fruit? HOW?!
Dude, swords don't even have mouths!
This has to be a joke. You can feed Devil Fruits to lifeless objects?!
Wang Haoyu, after his initial surprise, also looked hesitant.
He was, after all, a young man.
And like many viewers in the chat, he had his own vanity. The idea of transforming into a possibly ugly giant mammoth wasn't exactly appealing.
But then—
His eyes glanced back at the screen, scanning the livestream chat.
Though the messages were moving fast, he could still make out one or two comments expressing envy.
And in that moment—
Wang Haoyu suddenly made up his mind.
So what if I look ugly after transforming?
If I can become strong—truly strong—that's all that matters!
How many people would kill for this chance?
Taking a deep breath, he looked up and declared:
"Yuuto, I've decided!"
