the calm at night

Claude was seriously looking at his brothers who were currently looking at three fruits on the table that had a strange appearance that caught the attention of the two younger brothers.

"These are devil fruits" Claude said, calling the attention of his brothers, "Devil fruits are mystical fruits that are found everywhere around the world and grant the consumer a certain ability depending on the fruit that is eaten" Claude said earning the attention of his brothers.

"All devil fruits are classified into three types" Claude said to begin with which were the devil fruits, "Paramecia - The most common of the three types, paramecia type devil fruits grant their user superhuman physiques or rare, such as generating shock waves or marking targets. Other devil fruits alter the body in such a way that it defaults to rubber or swords, or alter the body of the surrounding people making them levitate or turn them into toys. Finally, there are fruits that grant the ability to produce and manipulate some types of substances such as wax or poison. Zoan – Users of Zoan-type Devil Fruits gain the ability to transform into an animal. The user can also transform into a human-animal hybrid form or a two-animal hybrid form. There are zoan type fruits not only based on common animals but also on prehistoric animals like dinosaurs and mythical animals. Logia – The rarest of the three types, Logia Devil Fruits grant their users the ability to transform into an element, be it solid elements like sand or ice, liquid elements like mud or magma, gaseous elements such as smoke or gas, energy such as electricity or the materialization of more abstract concepts such as darkness. This makes them intangible by making physical attacks pass through them or allowing them to absorb the attack completely. Users also gain an ability related to their element and the ability to disperse, control and rebuild their own body while conscious and in control of their powers" Claude said surprising his brothers who were watching wondering what kind of mysterious fruits they were being presented with. each one of them.

"The devil fruits have a big problem and that is that, with this new power, they acquire a weakness: the sea. The sea rejects the consumer of a devil fruit, making it defenseless when submerged" said Claude, taking the fruit from the middle of the table.

"These fruits were stolen from the royal family who requested them from the world government in exchange for a large sum of money, but I was able to steal the shipment that contained these three devil fruits" he said so that his brothers looked at him worried about what it implied that, "that's why we have to escape tonight while they still don't open the package until tomorrow at the royal announcement" Claude said to bite into the large fruit to the surprise of his brothers.

"This is the ticket that will allow us to leave this dump" Claude said to take a golden apple with yellow dots to hand it to his brother Sebastian, "that's why I will only entrust them to the people I trust the most" Claude said to what his brother nodded and took the fruit from his hands to bite it and ignore the bad taste of the fruit.

"Your Ren also eats the other fruit" his brother said while his little sister nodded and bit into the big green apple with black spots.

"Surely they want to use their powers, but I ask you to wait and go and organize all the things you can from your room that I will take care of taking you to where we will hide" I said so that my two brothers nodded and went to their room to take all their things.

"I'll wait for you guys outside" I said as I took a big bag with my things that I had previously prepared to go outside making sure no one was around.

Afterwards when my suspicions that there were people around were denied I concentrated for the first time trying to use the ability of my devil fruit which suddenly felt like my body was covered in hair and my structure started to change so that after I opened my eyes eyes see me in a nearby puddle can see my new appearance.

A large wolf about 4 meters tall with white fur that had piercing yellow eyes appeared before my sight which made me more aware of the extent of my mythological zoan devil fruit powers, but decided to ignore it once I saw it. go out to my brothers with two black bags.

"Come up quickly, it's me, Claude" I said as I lay down letting my brothers climb on me and hold onto my fur while I took the three black bags in my mouth.

After everything was settled I began to run on all fours trying to get used to my full zoan form, I began by going out to the main street that was empty at this moment to continue to go to the exit that led to the forest of beasts.

The forest of beasts is the most dangerous territory on the island, which is located in the northern part of the island, which is a prohibited area since all kinds of predators live there, which usually kill the majority of the brave who pass through, but there is a place known as the cave of lamentations, which is a great system of caves that would help me to leave my brothers in a safe place while I look for a safe way to get us out of this place.

On the way I could see many animals that began to avoid me by looking me directly in the eyes, so I continued directly into the forest where a large mountain in the middle was the opening to enter the cave system.

Using my claws to nail them to the mountain, I began to climb until I reached the opening that was only a little bigger than me, which made me reduce my size to three meters to be able to enter comfortably.

Once we entered I was able to leave the three black bags in a corner of the cave in a large space and my brothers in a comfortable place I made my body return to its original state.

"Well I have to talk about some things with you before going to sleep" I said looking at my brothers who nodded at the situation, "tomorrow I'll go to the place we know as the garden" he said to which Sebastian looked at me confused.

"It's not the place where children and poor people escape to an area of the island where they can live more peacefully," Sebastian said, remembering that one of his friends had escaped to that place a few years ago.

"Actually, that garden is a trap used by pirates to enslave people from the poor neighborhoods" I said to which my brothers now looked a bit surprised because most of their friends had gone to that place over the years , "it is in the southern part of the island where there is an abandoned mine that thanks to a deal between a pirate known as the captain massacre with a reward of 5 million berries and the royal family have been able to have the poorest people in the world country under his command to make them work in the mines in exchange for both parties earning a percentage of the money earned" I said as I sat down to be more comfortable.

"In that place they go through a process where they are mentally broken to make them more susceptible to orders" I said, stopping for a moment to take a breath, "that's why I'll go to the place tomorrow when they are at the royal ceremony to try to rescue the most people before the actual ceremony where they won't be so concentrated so we can bring them here and then hide here for a few months while the dust calms down before we escape from this place" I said while my brothers had a conflict in their thoughts due to my plan.

"That's why I'd like you to organize the things we have tomorrow and practice your powers a bit" I said, excited for tomorrow's adventure.
