Third Devil Fruit

Gilgamesh focuses on his new EM Haki, becoming completely omniscient in 500km. With Observation Haki combined with his electromagnetic sense he can sense everything in great detail, almost like an out of body experience.

Relishing in the feeling, it's almost like picking up a book and automatically knowing all its contents without flipping a single page.

Sweat begins rolling down his face and back due to his mind becoming overloaded from the substantial stream of information.

Suddenly Gilgamesh opens his eyes in shock. Looking to the North West he can't believe what he saw. With his concentration broken his Haki disappears but he doesn't even care. "Incredible, it's my first time seeing one in the wild."

A slight smile forms on his face, glancing at Enkidu he makes a decision. "She should sleep for a while."

Rising to his feet he swipes his hand, causing the iron dome to float over and cover Enkidu. Taking a deep breath he turns into lightning and shoots North West.

After making a few jumps and passing dozens of tigers he finally lands on a large tree branch. Looking down he sees a tiger the size of a semi truck surrounded by over twenty smaller tigers. The tigers are all laying in a circular formation around a small dying tree. On one of the withered branches hangs a single fruit

Gilgamesh immediately recognizes the fruit as a Devil Fruit. Looking at the completely white fruit with black swirls he decides to gamble. "With all these tigers here, it must be the tiger Zoan fruit."

Looking at the fruit for a moment Gilgamesh is unsure if his guess is correct, if he's wrong it means death. His body begins to spark before it fades into static and reforms next to the fruit. Because Gilgamesh has no intention to attack them the tiger's instincts don't alert them to his presence.

Reaching out he pulls the fruit from the tree and falls to the ground. When his feet make contact with the ground every tiger in the area looks at Gilgamesh bewildered for a second, wondering where this creature came from.

"Please be a Zoan." Ignoring their gazes Gilgamesh bites into the fruit. His face instantly turns bitter before turning completely stunned when the fruits information pours into his head. Petrified, the remainder of the fruit falls to the ground.

Finally realizing what's going the largest tiger rises to its feet.

"RAAAAAAAGHAAA!!!" Roaring to the sky the big cat's eyes turn completely red.

Hearing the roar, every tiger in the forest rushes towards the location and the tigers near him attack.

Gilgamesh's mouth hangs open as he slowly closes his eyes. "Neko Neko no Mi Model: White Tiger."

As the words leave his mouth his body transforms into a hulking white tiger the size of an elephant. Visible gusts of wind begin circling his paws and the tip of his tail. Pressing down on the ground the powerful muscles in his body constrict and blade-like claws stab into the ground, penetrating the red earth.

His instincts are heightened to the maximum and his Haki activates unknowingly, spreading out 100m in every direction and giving him a 360° view of his surroundings.

Lifting his right claw he swipes forward, sending out four massive blades of wind shredding and howling towards the tigers in front of him. At the same time, he jumps backward with his body spinning in the air to face the tigers behind him.

The tigers in front try to dodge the oncoming blades but the area is too wide and they are easily sliced.

Facing over ten tigers Gilgamesh rises to his back legs and his monstrous front paws begin mowing the car-sized tigers to the ground. A single slap of his paw shreds their hide with his wind infused claws, allow him to cut them apart like paper.

Turning his head he looks at the remaining large tiger. "Raaaahaaaaa!" Releasing a roar Gilgamesh begins charging forward like a tank, leaving a trail of wind in his wake.

"Raaaaaaah!" Charging forward the large tiger pounces forward.

Not to be outdone Gilgamesh leaps into the air as well, but once his paws come down he continues to run in the air to build speed.

Swiping his left paw forward an armor of wind surrounds his paw and forms large blades. Swatting the large tiger from the air Gilgamesh jumps on its back and bites into its spine with his razor-sharp teeth. Shaking his head from side to side he drives his teeth in deeper as blood fills his mouth.

As more tigers arrive they see the view of the white tiger shredding the back of their former king.

"Raaaah!" Throwing his head back Gilgamesh unleashes a powerful roar to the sky. His white tiger body flashes with electricity before disappearing from view.

Over 10km away Gilgamesh's human body reforms next to a tree. "Are you kidding me?! Are you kidding me?!? White Tiger Mythical Zohan?" His body shakes as he looks towards the sky, his mouth fool of blood.

Taking deep breaths he tries to calm down as he thinks about the battle before. The moment he transformed he lost all control and acted completely on his instincts. "What was that? Some sort of wind manipulation? Wind armor?!? How did I do any of that?!?"

Rubbing his temple he tries to think how he felt in battle but all he could think of was to fight and win at that moment, and his body moved on its own.

"Great" Shaking his head his body begins to crackle and he moves back towards camp.

Seeing that Enkidu is still asleep Gilgamesh is about to start training when he suddenly notices itchiness coming from his back. Taking off the bandages he feels that his wound is already starting to heal. "Is this another power of my Zoan?"

Shaking his head he focuses for a few seconds before his body once again transforms into a hulking white tiger. "What a weird feeling." Taking a few slow steps forward he becomes used to walking on four legs.

Feeling all the different muscles than the normal human body he slowly learns to use them one by one. After figuring out how to swing his tail Gilgamesh begins running around.

Lifting up his right paw he tightens the muscles in his leg and causes four huge claws to extend. Placing his paw back on the ground he begins to concentrate. After a few minutes, gusts of wind begin circling around his paws and tail.

Swiping forward four blades of wind rip forward and shreds through the trees in their path. Lifting up his paw to swipe again lightning begins to crackle and mix with the wind but suddenly the wind ignites and transforms into plasma before dispersing in the surrounding air.

"Needs practice I guess." His body begins to shrink and he returns to his human form.

"Transforming is a multiplier of my base strength, the stronger I get the stronger the fruit will become." Concentrating he tries to transform into his hybrid form. After a few seconds, he begins to transform.

Black stripes cover his body like tattoos and his turquoise hair turns white. Fine white fur covers his back, arms, and legs. Soon his legs transform to those of a tiger and his fingers turn into sharp tiger claws. The top half of his face take on a tiger's appearance while his mouth and chin remain the same.

Looking at his razor-sharp claws Gilgamesh can't help but smile. Facing a tree his cat-like legs bend down slightly before he shoots forward like an arrow.

"Shigan!" Stabbing forward, his index claw pierces the tree like poking mud. Pulling out his finger he begins stabbing forward multiple times and fills the tree with holes.

"How do I even train now?" Canceling the transformation he returns to normal.

Sitting on the ground he begins to think. "For my Logia I need to practice shaping my lighting attacks, shooting in a straight line is a complete waste. For my Zoan I need to make my transformations like second nature and practice moving around and fighting in that body. My Paramecia ability isn't used for combat and doesn't need work. My mutant ability needs more control over all forms of EM fields and not just metal. My Haki needs to be usable at all times and not just while concentrating."

After counting out all the things he needs to do on his fingers his head begins to spin. "One step at a time." Rising to his feet he begins training his Zoan transformations.

A few hours later Enkidu finally wakes up from her rest. Looking at Gilgamesh covered in sweat she circles towards his back and looks at his wound. Seeing the pink flesh she becomes confused. "How are you ok so fast?"

"It's a long story, but we are going to change the way we train. In the morning when we get up we will train strength and flexibility till exhaustion. Then we will perform non devil fruit combat training like we have been doing the past few weeks. Then we will practice individual devil fruit control till night time, and finally while eating we will continue education then go to bed."

As he explains the training plan he can see Enkidu's head spinning while nodding mechanically.

"No point burning daylight, let's start today."

"Wait wait I'm starving!" Enkidu hurriedly waves her hands.

Gilgamesh nods "After eating then."
