"Excuse me, who was that just now?" Profik asked when the young man walked away.

"It's my incompetent son," Danno said. "He has no energy, and he goes crazy all day long, talking nonsense..." It can be seen that he is a little disappointed with this son.

Gao Shifu had a different view. He said: "I think he is a strong and good young man..."

"Alas, life in the village was already difficult," Dannuo sighed, "but this kid, all he wants to do all day long is go to the swamp and follow that guy's trail..."

"Isn't that great?" Morana asked doubtfully. She felt that the main problem facing this village was the predators in the swamp.

Dannuo shook his head helplessly and said: "You don't know the specific situation. The child keeps saying that the Lesotho short-headed giant salamander can grow in size and size, and is also controlled by someone... How is this possible? "

Profic took a sip of the hot porridge just served by the villagers and interrupted: "I'd really like to hear what he said. Old village chief, where has he gone? I called him over." Dannuo said The paragraph "can grow bigger and smaller" aroused Profik's vigilance. How is it possible for animals in nature to grow larger and smaller?

Although, there are many doubts about the matter. For example, users with devil fruit abilities can grow larger and smaller, but they cannot move freely in water. Apart from this, Profic has never heard of any creature that can grow or shrink at will. However, this statement itself deserves further investigation.

It didn't take long for the young man to come back. He sat next to his father, but his eyes clearly showed a trace of dissatisfaction.

"What do you want from me?"

"I'm not looking for you, it's the guests who are interested in what you say."

As soon as the father and son met, they seemed a little uncomfortable. However, there is no big problem.

"Hello, my name is Profik, and I come from the sea." Profik introduced himself briefly, and then asked about predators. "I want to ask, what do you think about things on the island?" the opinion of."

The young man blinked, as if a little unbelievable, but soon, his eyes revealed joy. In this village, no one wanted to believe what he said, but the group of outsiders in front of him were curious about his views. Although he was not sure about their attitude, it was enough to make him happy.

"My name is Danjuma. As you can see, I am the son of this stubborn old man," the young man introduced himself briefly, not forgetting to tease his father. Then he spoke angrily about the situation he faced. , "The situation on the island, as you can see, those beasts want to feed us."

Gao Shifu asked: "Why do you think so?"

"Before the huge Lesotho short-headed giant salamander appeared, the group of guys had always acted independently, and sometimes, they even killed each other. However, since that guy came out, these predators have actually united. In the past, they almost never attacked humans, but now they are attacking humans more and more often." Danjuma seemed a little nervous, and he tried hard to organize his words to appear more logical. He had also said these words to his father, the old village chief Dannuo, but the latter did not want to believe it.

"Originally, they only moved in the swamp to the west of the village. Now, not only do they sometimes come into the village, they even dig to try to expand the area of ​​the swamp." Danjuma continued, "It wants to Completely surround us with swamps and raise us as livestock!”

Morana had already treated her wounds at this time. She wrapped her burqa tightly, sewed the holes with black cloth, and walked over. She said: "I heard, 'Hearing one side brings darkness, and listening both sides brings light.' Mr. Danno, is your son telling the truth?"

"That's true," Danno said, but he also had his own opinions on these things, "But so what? Our ancestors have lived on the island for generations, and they are the same. They come to catch the children, so we should be careful Deal with it, they want to surround the village with water, and we can just fill it up. We are children of nature, and so are they. The principle of nature is nothing more than this..."

"No!" Danjuma retorted, "The Lesotho short-headed giant salamander is definitely not a creature that should exist in nature. Not only can it become bigger and smaller, but it will also take the people it catches to the sea. The behavior is definitely not what a normal animal should be like!”

Danjuma's words became more intense. He stood up directly and said in a speech-like tone to everyone present: "What's more, father, haven't you noticed yet? People who are taken away every month There are two children. In October last year, the twins of Uncle Zhang's family ran out to play while the adults were not paying attention and were captured. Since then, the village has been hardly harassed by those guys for a whole month. But Last September, we didn’t give those guys any chance. At the end of September, didn’t they rush into the village and drag away Brother Li’s daughter and Wang Laizi’s grandson?”

"It can be seen that they have plans to arrest people every month. As long as they catch a certain number of children, they will not continue to arrest people. The young people in the village said so. They also said that the reason why those guys wanted to They are digging swamps on all sides because they are afraid that we will run away and they want to raise us and become livestock specially provided for children!"

"How is that possible?!" Danno interrupted his son's "heretical theories" loudly, "What animal have you ever seen do these things?"

"Facts speak louder than words!" Danjuma did not give in.

Seeing that the father and son were about to quarrel over this, Profik interrupted Danjuma and asked: "Danjuma, you said that the Lesotho short-headed giant salamander can become bigger and smaller, and you also caught it Did you see it with your own eyes when someone took it to the sea? Any evidence?"

Unlike the old village chief who had never been to the sea in his life, Profik was a man of two generations and had much broader knowledge and vision. Naturally, he would not regard Danjuma's words as nonsense. At least, Devil Fruit users can do things like becoming bigger and smaller very well.

"I saw it with my own eyes!" Danjuma said categorically, "I am different from ordinary people. I am born to see further and have better health. I have long felt that the Lesotho short-headed giant salamander is different from ordinary creatures. . I can climb trees, can carry heavy loads, and am energetic, so I bring dry food and squat on the big tree on the edge of the swamp every day, trying to observe every move of that guy. One day, I discovered something was wrong, that giant salamander "I crawled ashore in the morning and to my surprise, its body had changed. Or rather, it had shrunk."

Star interrupted Danjuma and asked curiously: "We once encountered it when we were crossing the swamp. At that time, it seemed to be more than ten meters long. Is it larger or smaller? Woolen cloth?"

"It's a bigger one," Danjuma said decisively, "I saw that guy in three different ways. One is about eight or nine meters long, which I saw once in the grass, and the other is yours. It's about ten meters long, which is also its most commonly used form. There is another one that I've seen two or three times, and it looks a little strange - some parts are still normal, and some parts are It’s smaller…”

Profic listened carefully to Danjuma's words. According to Danjuma, the three different forms of the Lesotho short-headed giant salamander can exactly correspond to the three stages of transformation of the animal-type ability user.

Not only Profik, but also Morana and Gao Shifu also discovered this. The two exchanged glances.

However, at the same time, doubts also arose - how could an animal-type ability user, after all, be an ability user, move around in a swamp?

"I heard from the people in the village that you came from the west of the village," Danjuma said boldly after seeing the serious doubts of several people, "I must have seen that guy too, do you think it is an ordinary animal? ?”

Profik couldn't help but nod. Indeed, saying that the Lesotho short-headed giant salamander is an ordinary animal is somewhat unjustifiable. Although this Lesotho short-headed giant salamander should not be a Devil Fruit user, it was enough to arouse his interest.

"I heard that 'hearing is believing, seeing is believing', this thing is indeed a bit unusual," Molana interjected, "In my opinion, it is better to let Danjuma take us to see the Lesotho short The situation of the giant salamander. We have a big boat and can go to sea if necessary."
