Chapter 179: A Tough Hide

Suid Went Flying Into the wall! Even though he'd attempted to get back up, the sudden strategic move on the Navigator's part had totally pulled one over on the Pure Gold Agent Kirk Momentarily Celebrated his success with a small pump of his fist before running over to the Downed Dezzi whom tried to mask the pain that they felt by raising a hand. But as the Navigator Assisted the Doctor to their Feet a sudden rumble disturbed both of their concentration!

From the Rubble of the Nearby collapsed wall of the Court Yard Building, a Hand gripping a Clawed Rake. Suid was Back on his feet! Rubble falling from his body as the Tinest trail of blood trickled down his forehead. He was totally unfazed by the attack, and merely put the long pole of the Rake in mouth, and pulled a small hair tie from his vest pocket, and put his Curly hair into a small puffy ponytail.

"You 'wo are a bi' o'ugher 'han i 'hough" He spoke, gripping his Rake again "I gues i'll 'ave 'o really 'ry" Suddenly, Suids body began to change. It was slow at first, the Hair on his arms began to thicken staying in a short volume, his fingers grew thicker, and his torso and shoulders broadened to an even more barreled shape than Suid already had. Fur covered his entire body as his legs transformed next, Elongating and adding another joint to them, becoming Digitigrade. Finally, his Head shifted and morphed. His jaw elongating, his nose and mouth becoming one into a snout, ears pinched off into points, and massive tusks protruded from the sides of his lower Jaw.

By the end, Suid's once impressive seven-foot stature was now a Massive, nearly nine-foot figure. His power was increased by multiple folds! This was the Power of the Buta Buta no Mi, The Pig Pig Fruit Model: Wild Boar!

This was the Power of a Sect of Devil Fruits known as Zoans. This class of fruit allowed for users to Transform into creatures in the Animal Kingdom. They weren't as flashy as those of Paramecia, Or the Sheer Elemental Power of a Logia. But it was the best thing for straight powerup. The current form Suid was in was known as Half-Beast, or Hybrid. Granting him well over 4x his normal strength. Zoans also allowed the ability to transform fully into their animal.

"Tha's be' er..."Suid Spoke Cracking his neck

Kirk stood there with his jaw slack, looking up at the beast in horror. It took him a moment to stop catching flies. “What the hell is that thing!?” The Fishman quickly snapped his staff back together into one before bringing it up in front of himself, taking a small step in front of the doctor to try and protect them as well. “Don’t tell me that’s something a devil fruit can do!”

He muttered something about it being rather ugly before starting to recognize the tusks and ears. The Agent had… turned into a boar? Somehow? Did he have the same weaknesses as one too? The navigators mind was already riddling what he knew about the things… which was unfortunately very little.

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

“Hey, Dez. I don’t think we can overwhelm him just by doing lone attacks. You think if I can catch him by those tusks, you can get him with that electric stuff? You’ll have to go for the underbelly though, I think boar’s have really thick skin..” Kirk was murmuring low and close to the doctor, trying to keep his eyes on Suid.

“Or at least whatever he is now.. I don’t know how much that skin is gonna protect him.”

“You saw that?! Yeah- yeah I can do it, all you would need to do is keep him still for a little bit, but do you think you can even hold him? Not trying to be rude but he’s literally already thrown both of us around without much effort” Dezzi would murmur back to Kirk, they would fully stand up now, readjusting their mask making sure it was in place and properly secured

They were confident that if Kirk could stop the agent they could get underneath him quickly, but they worried about how Kirk intended to get hold of the tusks, was he just gonna bait the agent into rushing at him? That’s such a reckless idea!

“We are a couple of twigs to this guy, of course he could throw us around.” Kirk said bluntly, his brow furrowing with focus. “But luckily, I’m a little stronger than I look. I just something reaaallyyy heavy.”

He spun the staff around in his hands, getting ready to run. He had been looking all over this place for some debris or something he could use. His strength alone wouldn't manage to trap Suid down for long.

“So for now, let's tire him out.” Kirk grinned over his shoulder. God, he was about to be so reckless while fighting this freak… he spent too much time around Leroy. “You go left, I’ll head right. He will have to focus on one of us, but stay attentive in case he starts powering up something that'll get us both hurt.”

With that, Kirk shot along to the right like he had said, keeping at eye on the area around him. He need ammo of sorts, he couldn't get in too close just yet or he’d be snapped in half like a wishbone! But fortunately, he saw some good opportunities.

He skittered in just close enough to Suid, sliding to a stop among the rubble and placed the end of his staff into the ground, suddenly sweeping up the dust and sand all around them up into the Agent’s face to create a smokescreen. Then quickly, he ran around towards his back. Kirk picked up a heavier piece of debris, noting it wasn't the weight he needed for his plan, as he did and swiftly jumped up into the air, using the strength of his species to get him high enough.

He put his staff between his teeth so he could hold the rock within his hands. The navigator lifted it up above his head before suddenly slamming it down and breaking the piece over him before pushing himself off and away from the Agent by kicking off of his shoulders!
