Yep, another guessing game (if you hadn't already guessed by the title alone), but you start off knowing the first half. It's not my greatest, but the idea wouldn't leave me alone.

What caught my attention was the man's anatomy (though the heart-design on each nipple also caught my eye). At first I thought the head was just a mask, but then I saw that 'mask' change expression. The animal head was alive and real. I know there are Devil Fruit eaters who've eaten Zoan-type fruits (like me), but they don't usually have a form that's only an animal head with a normal human body.

Judging from the man's musculature (I am a doctor, after all), I can tell he's a runner. One that had plenty of practice running. I deduced this not only from the taut, well-formed, rippling muscles that glistened in the sunlight with a thin sheen of sweat that no doubt tastes that perfect degree of salty, moving with fluid grace that I can only emulate by using the Rumble Bal-…*ahem*. Not only from musculature, but from the way he's able to disappear so quickly from sight. Despite his unique appearance, I never see him twice in the same crowd. Just a few glimpses from faraway, but enough for me to make the above observations. I've seen him running about on Marine ships, in random crowds, and even caught sight of him in Foxy's crew once!

I would've mentioned this man to the rest of the crew, but there was always something else going on that was more important (like escaping from Marines, the Davy-Back Fight, etc.). Plus, I don't know how I should explain why I'm interested in this man. So what if he ate a Zoan-type fruit? Even I can't convince myself that that is why I'm interested. Is it because he may be an animal who ate the Human-Human Fruit? Or is it something else? I just can't get the man out of my mind.
