Pirate: I am Wang Lufei

Chapter 814 Xia Li's Change

The mermaids have human upper bodies and fish tails in the lower bodies. They swim the fastest among all races and can communicate with ordinary fish.

After the age of 30, the fish tail of a female mermaid can transform into legs, while male mermaids cannot have the ability to transform. They are born alive, and if they intermarry with other races, their offspring will have some mermaid characteristics. In addition, they have strong swimming abilities, but not as good as orthodox mermaids.

Like humans, no matter how good a swimmer is, they cannot protect themselves against the pulling force of an ocean whirlpool. However, those with mermaid blood can easily cross an ocean whirlpool, ignoring the pulling force of the sea water.

According to common sense, Mrs. Charlie is completely unable to produce leg changes because her age does not meet the requirements.

Faced with this sudden incident, Mrs. Charlie had no idea what to do, especially after her legs were transformed and she was shown around inside and out.

She stared at the Vice Admiral in front of her with shame and anger, but in the end, she suppressed the embarrassment that was churning in her heart.

"I don't know what's going on. Could it be a problem with my diet?" Luffy was flying in the air, scratching his head and thinking about the unusual possibilities.

"Impossible. If it's about the nutritional sufficiency of food, then the royal mermaids would have discovered long ago that adequate nutrition can prevent premature leg growth."

Madam Shirley denied it.

"Could it be that there are some people born with special abilities who can grow legs early?" Luffy asked again.

Mrs. Shirley still shook her head.

As a highly respected prophet, she was extremely well-informed and had never heard of such a thing.

"Then there's only one possibility... IQ fan..."

Luffy said.

To save time, Luffy used a storm to blow IQ powder across the entire archipelago, curing Daft Gree's fever.

IQ powder itself is a drug that enhances brain power, while fever is a toxin caused by the suppression and damage of the brain.

On Sky Island, they all inhaled the relevant evolutionary spores, but the amount was too small, so normal humans would not be affected at all.

As a mermaid, Mrs. Charlie was already at the age of leg growth. As she inhaled IQ powder, her brain capacity increased, which in turn directly strengthened her ability to control it. It is also very likely.

After all, Luffy originally thought that mermaids and those winged humans were very similar.

According to this reasoning, the fishmen themselves are humans, and they are users of devil fruit-like abilities.

In this way, it is not surprising that someone is born with a physique that is ten times stronger than that of a human.

All animals have this kind of increase, and the increase is even more exaggerated. It is common for the increase to be a hundred times after adulthood.

"You mean, we are actually a race of devil fruit users, and the reason we are limited by age is because our bodies' evolutionary factors need to accumulate, so we can't switch forms freely?" Xia Li thought about the group of winged people.

Their wings were originally very limp, but with the inhalation of IQ, those wings seemed to be freed from their restrictions and expanded directly, able to carry people and fly freely in the air.

"It's just a guess, after all, the sample size is too small."

"The most important thing right now is how is your health?" Luffy looked at Mrs. Shirley's shark tail curiously.

It was also the first time for Mrs. Charlie to change her legs, and she looked at her waist with great curiosity.

There were obvious traces of human legs under the skin of the fish tail.

She tried swimming a few laps in the swimming pool, and her speed was a few points faster than before. The feeling of gaining weight was completely gone.

Then, thinking of human legs, the fish tail instantly turned into human legs, swinging freely in the sea.

Charlie looked at her own long legs with curiosity. Leg transformation is a crucial milestone for every mermaid. Generally, after this, mermaids would find their ideal partner and marry...

Mrs. Shirley looked at Luffy and sighed.

Lady Shirley does not reject humans. When she was on Fish-Man Island, she encouraged the little mermaid to observe humans for herself and then decide on their character.

In general, Luffy, as the human that Lady Shirley has observed the longest, is good in all aspects, but sometimes he is too unruly.

"My body is in good condition and has surpassed the past. I can switch between my fish tail and human legs freely, just like any other mermaid. If it was the IQ fan who caused me to master the ability to change legs early, would Princess Shirahoshi also be affected?"

Mrs. Shirley sat by the pool, her legs crossed over each other.

She was still wearing the blue-purple hooded dress, and her hair no longer blocked her eyes, making her look much sunnier than before. She still only buttoned one button, revealing her collarbone and huge white mountain range. The dress met just right near her waist, and then continued to separate. Such a thin swimsuit could not block the spring scenery behind her, so her pair of white round thighs were exposed for everyone to admire.

She didn't seem so shy this time, so Luffy looked boldly, his gaze almost subconsciously falling into the dark abyss formed by her crossed legs.

"We don't know the extent of Shirahoshi's health. We only stayed on that island for a short time. Given Shirahoshi's age, even if there was an impact, it would be minor. Besides, this power of evolution is inherently positive and cannot possibly harm the body."

Even if those winged people really had wings, it would not have any side effects on the body. Luffy never used fever, which destroys the brain and suppresses the brain, from the beginning.

Therefore, both Kalu and Tyson are healthy.

Mrs. Shirley pulled out a pipe and said, "You've always wanted to touch my legs, haven't you? It just so happens that I've already seen a double-leg structure, so go ahead and touch it. In exchange, I'd like a transforming swimsuit. Also, the double-leg structure... it's best not to tell Princess Shirahoshi, to prevent any accidents..."

Mrs. Shirley said as she looked at the other fish in the pool.

"Princess Shirahoshi is the Sea King after all, so it's safer to let her grow up naturally."

The flying fish and sharks nodded immediately.

Luffy directly hugged Mrs. Shirley's thighs, curiously sensing her structure through the power of resonating water.

"The skin is cold white, and the feel is completely different from the shark skin before... It's better not to hide this kind of thing from Shirahoshi. The so-called concealment will definitely be discovered in the end." Luffy said with deep understanding.

"Besides, you don't want to have to be sneaky when wearing nice clothes, right?"

"..."

Charlie agreed when she heard it.

"Isn't it time for Madam Shirley to find a boyfriend? Can we use divination to predict this?" Luffy asked while lifting one of her legs.

Charlie immediately thought of that extremely unclean scene, "No, a fortune teller cannot predict his own situation."

"There are such rules? That's pretty good..."

"Why would you think that?" Mrs. Shirley asked curiously. "Think about it, if you predicted that someone would become your boyfriend and you would eventually marry him, wouldn't you treat him differently from the very first moment you saw him?" Luffy said matter-of-factly.

"That's a foul! You're already treating a man differently!"

"..." Mrs. Shirley suddenly didn't know whether she should tell Luffy that she had predicted what would happen in the dream.

"The physical examination is complete. Mrs. Shirley's body is no different from a normal human, just a larger version." Luffy said.

"Can you give me some of your blood? I want to do an experiment." Luffy asked.

This didn't bother Charlie. The blood of merpeople and humans was exactly the same, and there was no isolation. As long as the blood types matched, there was no problem in transfusing blood to each other.

"Then let's...get dressed..."

In front of the changing machine, Mrs. Charlie curiously flipped through the styles on it. A ray of light was cast on her, and the clothes on her body were immediately woven into a princess dress.

She lifted the hem of her skirt curiously, bowed slightly and performed a ritual she had seen somewhere before, "How...how?"

She hesitated and asked Luffy's opinion out of curiosity.

Luffy flew a little further away and looked at her whole body.

It looks very good, and the most important thing is that it is very big. Although it looks good, Luffy feels that Mrs. Shirley will eventually choose the kind of sweatshirt with a hood, and then wear a pair of trousers to cover herself tightly.

After getting Luffy's answer, Mrs. Shirley looked at the skirt on her body, turned around a few more times, and then adjusted the clothing style on the machine to a sweatshirt with a hood, and then matched it with a pair of trousers.

"This one is more comfortable." Mrs. Charlie pulled her hat and nodded with satisfaction.

"Isn't it inconvenient to wear pants when you transform into a fishtail?" Luffy asked.

Charlie thought about it and finally changed into a purple hooded cape with an orange dress underneath.

"This is fine. This is the style I wore when I was a child. As I grew up, I couldn't wear that dress anymore, so I had to transform the cape into clothes..."

"Mrs. Shirley was very young when she was little?"

"Mermaids are born very small, but they grow very fast. I was a normal height until I was four years old, but Princess Shirahoshi was only very small on the first day of her birth, and then she doubled in size every day..."

After putting on the new clothes, Charlie's mood became visibly happier.

"I want to try flying shoes and experience the feeling of flying..." Shirley wanted to try human shoes again and asked Luffy for permission.

"Don't be so shy, just set it up here." Luffy pressed the button and created flying shoes that fit Mrs. Shirley's size.

She was immediately carried into the air by the strong airflow.

Flying shoes are not suitable for ordinary people because the power is transmitted from the feet to the whole body. If you are not strong enough, the power will cause fractures.

But Mrs. Charlie had a very strong body, so she simply ignored the burden on her body and quickly got the hang of it, freely swinging her huge and graceful body in the air.

A cheerful smile also appeared on his face.

"Thank you, and... I'm sorry for throwing you out when I was nervous." Mrs. Shirley flew around and returned to the ground and said to Luffy.

"No, that's a normal reaction." Luffy said as he took Mrs. Shirley to the laboratory to collect blood to check whether the evolution was as expected.

With her feet on the ground, Mrs. Charlie glanced at the sun in the distance, and a sense of fulfillment surged into her heart.

"Thank you... Also, as for what you said about treating that man differently because of premonitions, even if that's the case, it's not a big deal. When choosing a partner, you always have to examine each other. If you foresaw the outcome, the examination process was fine, and the other person is a reliable man, then there's nothing wrong with accepting him."

Lady Shirley summarized her prophecy and said to Luffy.

Because of the prophecy, her attitude towards Luffy was not actually very good. On the contrary, she was prejudiced against him. He had received so many favors on the ship, but she could not see them because of her prejudice.

It really does not qualify him as a prophet.

From now on, forget about that undignified prophecy.

"But Charlie's predictions always lead to misfortune, right?"

"It's not particularly bad."

Charlie closed her eyes, took a deep breath and said.

Even if it was predicted that Shirahoshi's birth would cause the Sea Kings to arrive from afar to invade Fishman Island, the end result would be that they would accidentally break through the island gate.

Even when we saw the Great Pirate Era, Whitebeard came to plant the flag and maintain order.

"is it?"

Mrs. Shirley was in a good mood and seemed to have a different understanding of the predictive power of clairvoyance.

Monet heard the vibration outside and curiously went out of the laboratory to check, and then he saw a female giant with legs and wearing a skirt.

"Is this... a two-legged mermaid?" It was the first time Monet saw a two-legged mermaid.

"After testing the green blood component in her blood, we have made a new discovery... The fishmen may be a group of people with special abilities who cannot control their transformation at will..." Luffy pointed to Mrs. Shirley behind him.

"If this is true, it would be a great discovery..." Monet nodded and went back to get the equipment.

If you look at the merfolk from the perspective of someone with special abilities, their previous messy forms were actually human-beast forms. Only female mermaids could barely control the transformation switch, and they had to wait until they were thirty years old to master it.

"If we are users with special abilities... then Luffy, your descendants will also..." Mrs. Shirley asked Luffy curiously.

"That's right. My abilities are hereditary. However, which elemental ability is most prominent depends on compatibility. Just like your offspring each have their own unique styles, it's all a matter of compatibility."

Luffy calculated his genetic abilities. Fire, light, electricity, and invisibility are 100% inherited. As for wind, water, and physical strength, they are non-inherited items. They are purely powers acquired through martial arts training. Conqueror's Haki can only be acquired at birth. If you are born with it, you have it. If you don't, you don't. It's the same as the probability of your offspring being a genius.

Mrs. Charlie suddenly grunted. If that was the case, how strong would the offspring born from their union be?
Monet collected Mrs. Charlie's blood and tested the special ingredients in it. He soon got the results. Although it was impossible to make it into superhuman green blood, the blood did contain the power of evolution through will.

Dashigi and Peacock also flew over. They were just inspecting Mount Olympus when they saw a five-meter-tall giant walking on the mountain. They immediately rushed over.
