one piece: gene extraction and fusion system

"Who?"

Hearing the voice, the pirates quickly stood up and turned to look at the newcomer.

When they saw Mio standing there alone, they were momentarily stunned.

But one of the pirates soon sneered. "Boy, what do you want?"

"Ah, nothing much." Mio scratched his head, spread his hands, and shrugged. "I just want to ask, is there anyone among you with an ability?"

"Why do you want to know that?" another pirate asked warily, his expression changing.

A harmless smile appeared on Mio's face. "I just thought if there are any ability users, I might follow them. It could help me survive here."

The pirates looked at each other before one of them suddenly laughed. "Hahaha! Kid, I'm a Devil Fruit user—Animal-type, Sparrowhawk Fruit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the pirate's arms stretched, and his form began to change. His body transformed into a humanoid eagle, wings spread wide, exuding a fierce and oppressive aura.

Mio narrowed his eyes, watching with a glint of excitement. "Animal-type... Not bad at all. A sparrowhawk, huh?"

"What are you mumbling about?" the transformed pirate growled, unable to catch Mio's words clearly.
