However, after waiting for three to five minutes, he didn't feel anything wrong. His body didn't seem to have changed in any way.
"What's going on?" he couldn't help but ask in his heart.
"'Shadow Fiend' is a relatively special form, and can only be active at night."
The Fantasy Gene said, "Currently, the host is already in a forced transformation period, which will last for seven days. During this time, you cannot use other transformation forms."
"Why didn't you say so earlier..."
Vladimir opened his mouth, feeling a bit helpless.
He couldn't use the Sea Dragon transformation, and the Shadow Fiend transformation could only be used at night.
In other words, he would be just an ordinary person during the day for the next week.
Fortunately, this was Amazon Lily Island, so there wouldn't be any danger.
"It seems I can only spend the forced transformation period here before considering leaving."
Since he had come to the One Piece world, he certainly wanted to go around, provided it was safe.
Thinking of this, he slowly opened his eyes, only to see six eyes staring at him.
Vladimir faced the attention of the three sisters calmly and continued to gnaw on the unpalatable fruit in his hand.
In just a few moments, the entire Devil Fruit had been eaten clean, leaving only the peel on the ground.
"The taste is really not good..."
Hearing Vladimir's sigh, the three sisters looked at each other.
Marigold said in surprise, "Sister, it seems he really isn't an ability user. He's completely fine."
On the other side, Sandersonia frowned and asked, "How do you feel now? Have you become an ability user?"
"I said, I'm a 'god.' Devil Fruits are useless to me. Even if I eat them, I won't become a non-swimmer, and I won't explode and die."
Vladimir chuckled, "Do you believe it now, Empress?"
Seeing this, Boa Hancock looked at him with a headache, and then with a tired expression, pursed her lips and said softly, "I'm tired. Marigold, you send the 'Guardian Deity' away..."
"Yes."
Immediately, Vladimir, under the respectful escort of the third sister, left the Empress's boudoir.
As soon as the two of them left, Sandersonia couldn't help but ask, "Sister, is he really a Guardian Deity? It's already certain that he's not an ability user."
The Empress waved her hand, and with the other hand, she rubbed her temples, feeling both confused and helpless.
She didn't believe in the Guardian Deity legend, but since things had come to this, she could only temporarily recognize Vladimir's identity.
Having a sea dragon protecting Amazon Lily Island could bring good results for national security.
Thinking of this, she spoke softly, "Treat him well, just think of it as raising another 'Bacura'!"
Bacura, a large, ferocious black panther, was used by the Maiden Kingdom to execute criminals.
...
At the same time, on the other side.
Vladimir followed Marigold back to his residence.
While leading the way, Marigold couldn't help but look back at Vladimir a few times.
"Are you really a Guardian Deity? I often heard this legend when I was a child. I always thought it was just a legend."
"Whether I am or not doesn't depend on me, but on you." Vladimir smiled slightly, making a somewhat philosophical statement, "If you think I am, then I am! 'God,' that's probably what it's all about."
Similar to the feeling of returning a favor, the truth was not very important.
He had just scammed the Empress out of a Devil Fruit, so he felt a little embarrassed.
After a pause, he added, "I... this dragon has a name and surname. You can just call me 'Vladimir,' or 'Vlad' is fine."
"Vlad," Marigold chewed for a moment, nodding, "A strange name. Are all god's names like this? Okay, I'll tell Sister."
While speaking, the two arrived at the residence.
"Vlad-sama, if there is anything, you can order the maids."
Leaving a sentence, Marigold turned and left.
Finally achieving his goal, Vladimir couldn't help but relax a little.
He sat down at the table, poured himself a cup of tea, and slowly sipped it.
Since he had come, he would take it easy.
The One Piece world was so big, and he wanted to see it all. He couldn't just huddle in Amazon Lily Island forever.
Moreover, he had to collect Mysterious Power, which was Devil Fruits. Staying on Maiden Island all the time was safe, but the Empress wouldn't be foolish enough to give him a second fruit.
"Before that, I have to figure out what exactly 'Shadow Fiend' is..."
Time flew by, and it was soon night.
When the sun set from the horizon, Vladimir, who had been staying in the room, immediately noticed the changes in his body.
At first, a wisp of black smoke overflowed from his chest. Soon, his limbs and bones began to etherealize.
In just a few breaths, Vladimir's human body disappeared, replaced by a mass of black, shadowy figure formed by black smoke.
"Is this the Shadow Fiend?" Vladimir said to himself in surprise.
He could feel that he was etherealized, without a physical body, and his whole person was erratic, as if immune to all physical contact.
"A peculiar form. What abilities does this transformation have?"
Gently closing his eyes, Vladimir released his mind and felt everything.
In the darkness, there were countless shining starlight spots, densely packed and countless.
Some of the starlight spots were bright, some were dim, some seemed to be extinguished at any time, and some were as dazzling as lights.
Filled with curiosity, Vladimir approached a very bright starlight spot.
When he got closer, a strange suction force suddenly appeared. The next moment, the world spun!
When the dizziness disappeared, Vladimir opened his eyes, and what he saw was not his residence in the Maiden Kingdom, but an office.
In the office, only one person was sitting.
Vladimir was behind this person, or rather, in the shadow of this person.
"Justice?" The next moment, Vladimir's expression was strange. He could see the coat on the person sitting, "It's the Navy? I actually came to a place like this in an instant..."
