In the final Ancient Species Beast Girl culture dish, an irregular polyhedral ice crystal fruit, glowing with a translucent icy blue hue, continuously floated and sank while dissolving.
The fruit's skin was smooth as a mirror, reflecting the laboratory's cold light. One could even see what appeared to be tiny snowflakes slowly drifting and crystallizing inside.
The dissolution had been ongoing for a long time, and now only a small fragment of the fruit remained, about to disappear completely.
This Ancient Zoan-type Devil Fruit was exceptionally unique, comparable in some aspects even to Mythical Zoan Beast Girls.
Therefore, Brian held high expectations for it.
Ancient Zoan (Special Type)·Human-Human Fruit, Ice Spirit Form—this was the fruit's information.
Normally, an overpowered Devil Fruit like the Ice Spirit Fruit should be classified at the Mythical Zoan level.
After all, this fruit corresponded to the spirit of ice and snow, innately capable of controlling frost and freezing vast areas in an instant.
Unfortunately, according to the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, the Ice Spirit Fruit was not the pinnacle of ice-based abilities.
Above it stood the lofty "Ice Queen" Fruit, which belonged to the Mythical Zoan tier.
Thus, the Ice Spirit Form was considered a special type among Ancient Zoans—not a Mythical Zoan, yet not inferior to one.

Finally, under the watchful eyes of Brian and the other Beast Girls, the last remnant of the Devil Fruit completely dissolved, transforming into a stream of energy that infused into the clone.
As the energy flowed in, no dazzling light erupted from the clone.
Instead, like a stone dropped into still water, it created ripples of icy blue within the culture dish.
The temperature in the culture fluid plummeted, and a thin layer of ice rapidly formed on the surface of the nutrient solution. The clone became enveloped in an increasingly thick layer of shimmering ice crystals.
The laboratory's temperature noticeably dropped, with tiny ice crystals even condensing in the air and drifting down slowly.
A pure yet frigid energy field spread, invigorating everyone present.
Ella raised an eyebrow slightly, showing a hint of interest in the extreme cold energy while also feeling some aversion—she preferred warm environments.
Feixue similarly felt discomfort; her Dragon Attribute leaned toward warmth, making her instinctively reject this chill.
In contrast, Mia and Aola were invigorated, their conditions improving.
As Snake Attribute Beast Girls, they naturally favored cold environments, being snakes after all.
Tuan Rong shook her head, disliking the cold sensation; she was feeling a bit hungry.
Griffin fluttered her wings once, and the icy aura vanished instantly, her gaze remaining calmly fixed on the scene.
Meanwhile, the other Common Type Beast Girls uniformly coated themselves in Armament Haki to resist the cold impact.
"Mmm, so cold, so cold. Mr. Brian, I'm really cold."
Otohime, who had fainted earlier under Ella's pressure, was truly having a rough day today.
First, the overwhelming pressure made her pass out, which was bad enough.
This wave of frost impact was truly a dual assault on both body and spirit.
Seeing that the other Beast Girls weren't in good condition, Otohime thought for a moment, then flicked her tail and snuggled into Brian's embrace.
"Ah~"
"So warm, so comfortable~"
Indeed, she felt distinct warmth in Brian's arms, instantly becoming cozy and making Otohime somewhat languid.
Pat pat~
Brian stroked her head while maintaining his body's high-temperature operation, blocking the invasion of the cold air.
The temperature continued to drop, and the Culture Dish had transformed into a massive, irregular chunk of ice, shimmering with a hazy ice-blue glow inside.
Sizzle~
Sizzle~
It neither cracked nor melted.
The thick ice layer was silently dissolving and vaporizing from within, as if smoothed by an invisible hand, leaving no trace of moisture behind.
The ice-blue halo converged inward, eventually completely merging into the petite figure within.
A figure landed lightly on the cold ground, making almost no sound.
At first glance, this newborn Beast Girl gave the impression of a "fairy carved from ice and snow."
Her height was remarkably petite, only about 1.4 meters, with a slender build that seemed as if a gust of wind could blow her away.
Her skin was pale to the point of near-transparency, like freshly fallen snow or fine porcelain, faintly revealing light blue veins beneath.
Her hair was silver-white, as if moonlight shining on snow, cut shoulder-length with natural ice-blue gradient tips, appearing fluffy and soft.
Atop this Beast Girl's head grew delicate, crystalline Ice Horns formed from sparkling ice crystals.
Her eyes were very large, with pupils the color of pure glacial ice-blue, clear and pristine in gaze.
Carrying a hint of newborn-like curiosity and innocence, yet subtly concealing a trace of the coolness inherent to ice and snow, she observed her surroundings.
The attire naturally formed by energy on the Ice Sprite Girl's body resembled icicles and frost flowers condensing on branches during a winter morning.
It consisted of a slightly thin, ice-silk woven short skirt and shoulder accessories, primarily in white and ice-blue colors.
The simple, form-fitting clothing perfectly showcased her figure—and this was also the most striking feature.
A loli's height, yet possessing half a mature woman's physique.
Half-developed assets prevented her from having the "wealth" matching her height—a flat chest!
Truly a loli's heart in a mature woman's body, the Ice Sprite Girl tragically lacked wealth.
The Ice Sprite Girl looked at Brian, her face revealing an innocent and joyful smile.
"Ice Sprite Beast Girl, greeting my master."
Her voice was ethereal and crisp, like icicles chiming together, yet carrying a timid softness that complemented her icy appearance.
Brian gazed at this petite, pure ice spirit, clearly sensing the pure and active extreme cold power within her.
Though this power wasn't as domineering and destructive as Ella's had been, it was more agile, precise, and full of various possibilities.
More importantly, he could perceive that deep within this ice sprite's bloodline seemed to lie a more distant, more majestic, glacier-throne-like cold imprint.
That might be the path to a higher level—the "Ice Queen," an unattainable tier belonging to the Mythical Zoan.
"Ice Sprite Girl, welcome. I name you Coco."
Brian spoke gently as he plucked a dumpling from his face and offered it to her.
Coco blinked her large ice-blue eyes, looking at the dumpling, then at Brian. A sweet smile appeared on her face as she extended her small, frost-tinged hands and carefully accepted the dumpling.
"Thank you, Master, for giving me this name. Coco likes it very much."
She placed the dumpling into her mouth with a gentle motion.
The moment the connection was established, Brian felt a clear, cold current surge throughout his body.
It was as if the impurities within him had been purified slightly. His spirit became exceptionally clear, and his resistance to low temperatures as well as his perception of water elements had significantly improved.
In the Star Chart within his mind, the star representing Coco lit up. Its radiance resembled the starlight of the polar regions—chilly yet pure.
