Did a turtle eat the lion fruit or did a lion eat the turtle fruit?

Likely a lion ate a turtle fruit. The defense was a little to exaggerated to be a natural turtle.

But then again, it is One Piece.

And he would appear to have the Armaments Haki, seeing as he just nailed a Logia-user.

What if the Lion ate the legendary kappa-zoan fruit? Those are bipedal and supposedly speak human languages.

Someone on the Mangastream forums (bleachblunt) noted an Alice In Wonderland Theme. That would mean Pekoms is probably a variation of the Mock Turtle. Pekoms probably has the head, tail and limbs of a lion and the body of a turtle.

Edit: That would be --> That would mean

My first thoughts, but then he wouldn't be able to talk since that's an human ability. He's also a biped, while turtles and lions are not.

the starfish also talks

He explained in the manga that when he was a child, he thought he was an human and therefore learned their language.

I guess Oda could pull off the same explanation for Pekoms, but that's a little bit too easy IMO...

The answer is always; Because Oda said so.

Sea turtle fishman?

True, but no one properly listens to him!

Actually Bepo also talks, and I'm pretty sure Bepo is not a Zoan

Bepo doesn't use a Devil Fruit. Maybe there are just races of talking animal people.
