Did Monet's Yuki-Yuki fruit turn her into a harpy?

Question

Did Monet's Yuki Yuki fruit turn her into a harpy or was she part of Caesar's experiments that turned her into a harpy?

I looked it up and according to the wikia Law did indeed turn her into a Harpy, but the panel they are basing this on just says that "Monet transformed", so that's not really enough evidence to say Law was the one transforming here. Nothing more about this has been said in the series though. — Peter Raeves, Sep 20 '15 at 14:58
In SBS vol 77. Oda reveals that Monet is the big sister of Suger and shes officially human, her harpy-like appearence is all artificially. The Cause however I'm unaware of. — Chen Orihara, Sep 20 '15 at 14:59

It was Law who turned her into a harpy. The Yuki Yuki no Mi had nothing to do with it. Much like the pirates who lost the use of their legs became centaurs, it was Law who turned Monet into a harpy; the only difference is that the change happened willingly in Monet's case; the reasons weren't explained as far as I can remember, but it was most likely to make her stronger.

Check this out:

I know this has been pointed out before in the flashback that Monet had normal human limbs, but I still like to think that there is a harpy race out there.

Perhaps harpies have a similar aging system to mermaids.

*She could be switching between human and harpy form like Kokoro does. We've learned that mermaids over the age of 30 can do that. That could possibly also correlate to harpies. After all, we don't know Monet's age. *First you start as a normal human, then when you reach a certain age you grow wings and a tail. But you can change back and forth freely from human to harpy limbs. *To me, Monet's wings seem too similar to Lafitte's wings for it to be a coincidence, so Lafitte might be a Harpy too. I also don't know how sure I am since there might be some sort of angel devil fruit that Laffitte could have ate to explain his wings.

But when I checked I found something. Monet's picture in volume cover, her legs look normal. While when you look at her other pics, her legs are in form of limbs of a harpy/bird.I have provided the pic below.

So ,I think Monet is able to transform her normal limbs to Harpy limbs whenever she wants. Similar to that of mermaids.

Another thing to note, the tips of her wings match her hair color which would not really make sense if those wings were not hers to start with. Yeah it looks more like genetic relation between wings & hairs, both being green.

Furthermore, the word "Happy" on her t-shirt could be a play on words with harpy, too much like Oda.

Just, speculating that she might belong to a Harpy race .:D
