Energy Details:
Creatures in the world of One Piece are tens to hundreds of times larger than creatures on Earth. The reason I've set is that they possess an additional form of energy compared to Earth's creatures, which I've designated as Evolution Energy.
In the world of One Piece, some powerful individuals have physical capabilities and strength tens to hundreds of times greater than humans on Earth, though their body size doesn't change drastically (Giants being an exception). Therefore, I've set that they possess an additional form of energy compared to Earth humans, which I've designated as Reinforcement Energy.
However, there are also creatures that aren't large but are extremely strong, such as the Kung Fu Sea Cow, Fighting Fish, and the gorillas on Hawkeye's island. These possess Reinforcement Energy.
Conversely, there are beings whose body size far exceeds that of Earth humans, like Giants. These possess Evolution Energy with a bit of Reinforcement Energy added.
The Function of Energy:
Evolution Energy: Provides growth and evolution, allowing for the transcendence of physical limitations.
When the protagonist consumes it, they can extract biological characteristics, growing partial organs. This is relative to body size; the larger the protagonist's body, the more energy is required to grow partial organs.
Evolution Energy prioritizes growth, then evolution. To grow specific body parts, one needs creatures possessing powerful Evolution Energy that contain those parts.
Reinforcement Energy: Provides physical reinforcement. After consumption, body strength increases.
The amount of Reinforcement Energy differentiates the power contained within the body and physical strength. This is not limited to humans but also applies to special creatures.
So, let's make a classification:
Humans (excluding Giants): Reinforcement Energy.
Giant Creatures: Possess Evolution Energy.
Special Creatures: Reinforcement Energy.
Giants: Possess a large amount of Evolution Energy and an indeterminate amount of Reinforcement Energy.
Fish-Men: Ordinary Fish-Men possess a large amount of Reinforcement Energy and a small amount of Evolution Energy.
Giant Fish-Men: Possess a large amount of Evolution Energy and a large amount of Reinforcement Energy.

Many readers have raised questions, so I'll address them.
Q: Can eating a human allow one to grow hands and feet?
A: Ordinary humans cannot break through physical limitations and lack Evolution Energy.
Q: Why didn't the protagonist evolve shrimp claws when they ate shrimp at the beginning?
A: Those shrimp were ordinary sea shrimp, only ten to thirty centimeters long, the kind found on Earth. They did not break through physical limitations and lacked Evolution Energy.
Q: If I eat a Giant, can I grow hands and feet?
A:
In principle, yes. But their most significant features are other parts, such as their spine, warm-blooded viviparity, and lungs.
However, a thirty-meter Giant weighs around two hundred tons. For the protagonist to consume it, their own weight would need to be at least around ten thousand tons. (The amount consumed is one-fiftieth of the body weight, and as body weight increases, the proportion of consumed mass relative to body weight decreases. So, if the protagonist consumes two hundred tons, their weight would be over ten thousand tons, possibly up to twenty thousand tons.)
At that point, would the Giant's Evolution Energy, carrying the energy for evolved limbs, be enough to allow a ten-thousand-ton protagonist to evolve limbs?
They would likely only grow a little.
How many Giants would it take to evolve complete limbs after evolving other body parts? Just for the limbs, it would require around a hundred.
And how small would the evolved limbs be relative to the protagonist's body size?
So, growing hands and feet by eating Giants is difficult to achieve and impractical.
Q: What is the Evolution Energy of Fish-Men?
A:
For ordinary Fish-Men (non-giant), their Evolution Energy allows them to break through the physical limitations of human genes, reaching three to four meters in height. It also contains their biological characteristics.
However, the breakthrough in physical limitations is too small; ordinary Fish-Men can only grow to three or four meters, hence their Evolution Energy is limited.
Furthermore, they have too many characteristics, possessing both fish and human traits, which the protagonist lacks. And with limited Evolution Energy and multiple directions for evolution, the Evolution Energy for each individual trait is almost negligible.
Therefore, no matter how many ordinary Fish-Men the protagonist eats, they cannot grow organs.
Unless they eat Giant Fish-Men, they can grow body parts, prioritizing the spine and lungs.

Some people commented that this chapter was filler. I don't understand how their brains work. This isn't the main story; it's specifically to explain comments and respond to reviews in the comment section. How is that filler?
Are you brain-dead?
