Alien Yota?

"Yota, it was you!"

"How did you do it? That’s incredible!"

"Aren’t you a Munch-Munch Fruit user? How did you become an Azure Dragon Fruit user?"

"Yota, I heard you beat Kaido up. Is that true?"

When the Whitebeard Pirates saw Yota, their surprise was accompanied by countless questions, and they immediately began bombarding him with them.

Yota had not expected a bunch of middle-aged men in their forties and fifties to be such gossips. The questions left him utterly bewildered. Fortunately, Whitebeard noticed his awkwardness and gave a light clap. A powerful vibration skillfully knocked the crew members crowding around him away.

Yota smoothed his hair slightly and looked at the crew members staring at him with curious eyes, pondering how to make up a story.

After all, telling them that he could travel back and forth between the Naruto World and One Piece would probably sound even more unbelievable. Yota did not want to expose his origins, either.

As for revealing the effects of the Munch-Munch Fruit, that was even less possible. He still had plenty of powerful bodies left to analyze, and Yota did not want those people becoming wary of him.

On the other hand, he was not too concerned about Blackbeard now. Even if he exposed the Dark-Dark Fruit, what could Blackbeard possibly do to him as he was now?

"Well, this is actually my special Racial Talent." Yota’s mind raced wildly.

"You should all know that I possess a peculiar power called Chakra, right? But that power would not fully manifest until I reached adulthood, so everything you saw before could only be considered my Juvenile Form. Only now that I’m an adult can I be considered my true Complete Form."

"It’s precisely because I reached adulthood and my strength increased dramatically that I was able to defeat Kaido so easily!"

"As for why I can transform into an Azure Dragon, it’s because our race can possess the powers of multiple Devil Fruits!"

The moment he finished speaking, the Whitebeard Pirates looked at one another.

"Chakra truly is an amazing power, but why have we never heard of it before? Besides, I’ve never heard of anyone being able to eat two Devil Fruits."

Blackbeard Teach asked, his face full of curiosity.

"That’s enough, Teach. Those are Yota’s private secrets." Whitebeard spoke up. "Forget where Yota’s power came from. Shouldn’t we be throwing a feast now?"

"Yeah! A feast!"

"Let’s welcome the hero who defeated Kaido!"

The moment they heard the word feast, the Whitebeard Pirates immediately forgot everything else and burst into cheers.

Still grinning foolishly, Blackbeard lowered his head slightly, a strange glint flashing through his eyes.

Late at night, the Whitebeard Pirates had all drunk themselves into a stupor. Yota, who had insisted on drinking only low-alcohol fruit wine, remained perfectly sober.

Walking across the deck in the sea breeze, Yota suddenly spotted Blackbeard standing at the bow, keeping watch.

That guy’s physique means he doesn’t even need sleep… Yota was initially surprised, but then remembered.

In fact, after his physical modification, Yota should possess the same ability by now. He had simply never tried it.

After all, never sleeping sounded cool, but it definitely would not be very comfortable in reality.

When Blackbeard Teach saw Yota, he immediately greeted him with a smile, an appropriately troubled expression appearing on his face.

"Yota, with that kind of physique… how many Devil Fruits can you eat? Are there others of your race?"

Yota looked at Blackbeard, wondering whether this guy had actually believed his story and thought they belonged to the same race.

Come to think of it, where did Blackbeard’s strange physique really come from? One Piece did not seem to explain it, either. And Blackbeard had not initially been all that confident that he could eat three Devil Fruits. He had been gambling on it to some extent.

In truth, Yota had already figured out the rest of his story. Since Blackbeard wanted to ask, Yota did not mind using his mouth to spread it around.

"My race can eat three Devil Fruits in total. As for others of my kind, there should be some, but I don’t know whether any exist on this planet."

"On this planet?" Blackbeard asked in surprise.

"That’s right. I’m actually not from this planet. According to my Inherited Memory, I ended up on this planet because an Emergency Space-Time Transfer malfunctioned."

Yota answered with a grin.

Blackbeard’s mouth fell open. He had never expected such an answer. A Space Alien? That was far too unexpected!

"I was sent to this planet when I was very young. Fortunately, every member of our race has an Electronic Chip installed in our brains, which was how I found out about my origins."

"What’s wrong, Teach? You look a little strange. Are you too shocked?"

"Ah… it is indeed rather shocking." Teach forced a smile. "A spacefaring race and all that… it’s really beyond anything I expected!"

At the same time, Teach thought about his own Deformed Body. Could he also be an Alien? But he had neither a Brain Chip nor Chakra.

And awakening at eighteen and gaining a massive boost in power… Keep dreaming. Anything’s possible in a dream!

Could it be that I’m the descendant of an Alien from who knew how many generations ago, and this was Atavism?

Leaving aside Teach, whose mind had been thrown into chaos and whose imagination was running wild after Yota’s words, Yota left the deck and headed to the Captain’s room.

When he pushed open the door, Yota saw Whitebeard drinking inside.

The Old Man had just finished several barrels of alcohol at the feast, and now that he was back, he was drinking again. Yota even wondered whether these old pirates had alcohol flowing through their veins instead of blood.

"Gurararara, the little Alien is here." Whitebeard set down his bowl and laughed loudly at Yota.

Yota rolled his eyes. Whitebeard Pops was still the same as ever, always using Observation Haki to pry into secrets.

"Still, I really didn’t expect you to have such origins, brat… Are Space Aliens all as strong as you once they reach adulthood?"

Hearing Whitebeard’s question, Yota thought about it. Comparing his own strength to the Ōtsutsuki clan, who planted trees across the universe, he concluded that he was not really that powerful among Space Aliens. At most, he was above average.

So Yota answered honestly, "Not too far off. Their combat power should be a little stronger than the Four Emperors, but their combat experience is much worse. In a real fight, it would be hard to say who would win."

Whitebeard did not know Yota was talking about the Aliens of the Naruto World. Hearing Yota’s words, he could not help sighing. "Who would have thought that our strength is only the beginning in the universe? If I’d learned this a few decades earlier, I would have gone to see the universe no matter what."
