2 What's that akuma in mi?

I've never eaten anything worse than that before.

The taste was like a combination of melted rubber plus rotten fish and mud. I had to hold my mouth shut so I wouldn't spit it out at once.

It's never been so hard to swallow anything, and I'm pretty fresh with food.

*Gulp* But I had managed to swallow that damn fruit, I could already feel the power running through my veins with lights and electricity.

It's a lie

I felt nothing different except for my tongue which was numb because of that disgusting taste. No lights or hellish pains in my body, it was like I just ate something disgusting.

Strange, but acceptable.

Now comes something perfect for a gacha fan like me, the best part of swallowing an akuma in mi.

That's right, it's time to discover her power.

On the one hand it might be something fucked up and appealing like a Logia, on the other hand it might be a Zoan, and I don't like zoans. I'd rather control an element than become a half-human fused animal.

And they're too boring... I've never really been with the zoan characters of One Piece. Except the guy from the Phoenix and the Buddha, they were top.

Otherwise they were just big and strong, maybe fast but nothing really flashy. Unlike controlling an element that has a huge range of possibilities.

Hell, the Flamingo can control people, fly, patch up body parts, and various other things. All just controlling strings. Strings.

It's clear how Paramencias and Logias are superior to Zoans. Much better for sure.

Now out of my internal argument and back to the akuma no mi test. There was one question I didn't want to shut up.

What do I do to activate my power? Do I have to use Majutsu Index math calculations?

Nah, I'm in a time when most people barely know algebra, imagine chemistry and calculus. It's probably something like using your imagination and it'll work like magic and bullshit.

Anime stuff. But I'm in an anime now, so it makes sense, right?

Let's go with that, starting with the worst I imagine my body turning from a random giant animal, in this case it was a mammoth...

Nothing happens.

Giraffe, armadillo, macaw, monkey, gorilla, dinosaur, dragon...

...

Nothing happens. Not a Zoan? Okay, a little luck.

Try two. I use all the strength of my mind looking for something that shouldn't be there, an extra element waiting to be controlled.

In the end I just waste minutes holding my head with eyes closed looking like a lunatic about to have a fit.

I stop and look at my body, it looked normal and nothing very irregular. I pinch my skin to make sure it wasn't elastic or too hard, and it wasn't.

All right, that's not it.

I reach forward with my hand open and imagine things coming out of it. At first I imagine gas and well, nothing happens; then I imagine liquid and guess what?

Yeah, something different happened.

A slimy black liquid came out of my hand as if it were a hose, I was fascinated by such an event. I turned into a fucking human hose.

After a few seconds it had soaked the floor in black leaving the environment with a strong and characteristic smell.

The smell of paint.
