"I-I see, so essentially, that creature, or egg, is created from the combination of numerous different animals? I'm not missing anything, correct?" Asked Trenza lightly as she nodded her head while looking at the egg in the modern fridge, which was emitting icy frost as if it was the heart of a blizzard, before glancing at Sebas, who nodded.

"For a simplified version, yes." Replied Sebas softly with a nod as he looked at Trenza, who glanced back at the frozen egg, only for them to look to the right when they heard glass breaking suddenly.

"Did that scientist really think it was a smart idea to stitch its antlers with Gorilla arms?" Asked Diddy lightly as he glanced at a failed chimera experiment lying on the ground in a puddle of greenish liquid, which was a deer with muscular gorilla arms for antlers.

Reaching down, I picked up the corpse of what I assumed to be one of the scientist's chimera experiments and sniffed it, only to recoil in disgust as I swiftly threw it into the distance, smashing right through a few more test tubes housing failed chimera experiments that fell to the ground.

'Ugh, I don't know whether it's the green liquid or it's the chimera, but it smelled terrible.' Mused Diddy with a disgusted expression as he waved his hand in front of his nose before leaping out of the green puddle, landing near Trenza and Scar, who were both blankly looking at him.

"What? Why are you two looking at me?" Asked Diddy in slight annoyance as he folded his arms and eyed Trenza and Sebas, who both sighed to themselves while shaking their heads, causing him to frown before grunting.

"Hmph, whatever; anyways, Sebas, have you found anything interesting besides that so-called Chimera? It's interesting and all, but it doesn't seem like it will hatch any time soon, and any desire I had to eat it has vanished as well." Added Diddy with a scoff as he approached Sebas, passing Trenza, whom he hit in the face with his tail, causing her face to twitch as she nearly popped a vein.

"Sometimes I really just want to shove Sunaipu as far up your arse as possible and let off a few rounds." Muttered Trenza in annoyance as she unholstered Sunaipu and pointed it at Diddy's butt, only to click her tongue in annoyance while holstering her pistol once more, knowing it would amount to nothing.

"Anything interesting besides the Chimera? Hmm, no, not from what I can discern; the scientist had gone partially mad, so searching through his memories is harder than it would be for a sane person, but there doesn't seem to be anything remarkable or worthy of mention... Ahh, but something is interesting about this Chimera." Replied Sebas with a raised eyebrow and a thoughtful expression as he closed his eyes and rubbed his bearded chin, only to suddenly snap his eyes open with a faint smile while gesturing to the egg, grabbing both Trenza and Diddy's attention.

"We're listening." Said Trenza lightly as she neared the two, standing on the left of Sebas while Diddy stood on the right.

"The scientist wasn't originally from this island, as I'm sure you two have probably noticed, considering the lack of civilization. As for how he got here, I haven't yet found that within his unorganized mind, though I don't believe it is important right now. Roughly four decades after he arrived here, around the time he was creating the Chimera we're looking at right now; he had found bluish-white devil fruit hanging from a tree near the hatch to his lair..." Stated Sebas lightly as he paused to catch his breath before clearing his throat and continuing.

"...I have no idea what kind of devil fruit it is, but a year later, when he was close to finishing the Chimera, something went wrong, and just before he lost the egg, in a state of mad obsession, he started using anything he could find to help stabilize the egg, and that was the bluish-white devil fruit. Somehow, the Chimera, while still in the egg, ate the devil fruit, which instantly stabilized it, but it also began to release a freezing aura that caused anything it touched to freeze. It's been a few years since then, and ever since then, the freezing aura has only gotten more intense." Remarked Sebas softly as he, Diddy, and Trenza observed the egg in surprise.
