OPI Chapter 220: Muzan’s Offer and the Path Forward
🕑 Added 2024-08-12 20:49:46 +0000 UTCMuzan's sudden appearance surprised even Imu. “However, this guy has decided to take matters into his own hands, which is quite interesting~”
“Dear, this Muzan Kibutsuji has lived for more than a thousand years? Is he extremely strong?” Historia asked confused.
“Remember, just because someone lives longer doesn’t mean they’re stronger. You’ll see a lot of immortal and eternal entities, so get used to seeing them from a normal perspective.”
Imu replied as he looked in Stussy's direction.
“As for Muzan Kibutsuji’s strength, I haven’t really worried much. Stussy, tell us about it.”
"Okay." Stussy nodded. "According to the latest report from the Biochemical Research Institute."
"After Muzan Kibutsuji became a 'perfect creature', he mastered all the basic moves of the Rokushiki in just three days and awakened his Kenbunshoku Haki and Busoshoku Haki at the same time, among which Busoshoku Haki is stronger."
"It is worth mentioning that Muzan Kibutsuji can release mental shock waves similar to Haoshoku Haki, and it also has super physical destructive power."
"After Chief Warden Columbus's inspection, it was found that it was not Haoshoku Haki that condensed will, spirit, etc., but a very pure mental power."
"And he did not have enough control over this mental shock wave to make selective attacks."
"Also, Muzan Kibutsuji has absorbed a blue heart of Kabane in the form of 'Nue' and a prisoner with a bounty of 230 million berries."
“So now he should also have the special abilities of the Nue, the comprehensive constitution of a human from the Starfish World and is a user of the Glare-Glare Fruit.”
"According to Chief Warden Columbus's evaluation, Muzan Kibutsuji may only be suppressed by himself and Magellan in Impel Down in terms of strength."
"And this is because his Busoshoku Haki has just been mastered and is still lacking in quality."
Now Imu finally took Muzan Kibutsuji seriously.
He really didn't expect someone like him to feel so comfortable in Impel Down, he was like a fish in water.
"What about the control over him?"
"Although the shadow has been returned to him, the 'Pet Ring' is still on Muzan Kibutsuji." Stussy reported softly.
Imu nodded.
Although with Muzan's character, even if his restrictions were lifted, he probably wouldn't rebel against the World Government as he is someone who prefers a quiet life. But it is better to be prepared.
If Muzan were to kill someone and then transform into that person, the current World Government would have no way to distinguish.
Then with his personality, he would probably choose to escape into the sea and find a place to live freely.
This is of course not allowed.
“By the way, notify the Biochemical Research Institute and Impel Down to add a restriction on the pet ring, prohibiting Muzan from touching the Eldians.” Imu gave the order firmly.
...
North Blue, Garsas Island.
"Who are you?"
"Are you also from another world? But your aura is not weak."
Without knowing why, in front of Muzan, the blue-haired young man became inexplicably nervous, feeling an instinctive threat that made his hair stand on end.
"Oh?" Muzan, seeing that Rengoku and Sanemi were still stunned, turned his gaze towards the blue-haired youth.
But that single glance made the blue-haired youth feel like his entire body had been completely examined, and he instinctively took two steps back.
“Yes, it would be best to kill you first and then talk to these ‘acquaintances’ of mine.”
"What did you say—?" The blue-haired youth barely had time to crack a cruel smile before a flash appeared in front of his eyes.
A thin black thorn had been shot out from Muzan's index finger, before piercing the blue-haired youth's forehead.
When the blue-haired youth fell to the ground with a hole of blood on his forehead, Muzan had already turned his gaze back to Rengoku and Sanemi.
“We are all from the same world. Why don’t we leave the past behind and unite in this World Government?” Muzan said calmly as he extended his fingers and fired two more thorns, before he pierced Rengoku and Sanemi's abdomen.
“What are you going to do?” Rengoku asked loudly.
“Don’t be afraid, I’m no longer a demon. Just like you, I’m human~~”
Hearing Muzan claiming to be a human. Rengoku and Sanemi both opened their mouths, not knowing how to answer.
However, as their bodies began to become warm, especially after the pierced wounds began to itch unbearably, they ignored their complicated feelings and hurriedly lowered their heads to check their injuries.
"This is..."
The two were shocked to see that the extra blood holes on their bodies were healing at an incredible speed, and at the same time, their faces and lips, which had turned pale due to excessive blood loss, were visibly recovering their rosy color.
This is Muzan Kibutsuji's current powerful ability.
He already has enough biological and medical knowledge, combined with his own cell-level control and the perspective ability of the Glare-Glare Fruit.
Not only has it become more efficient at killing, but it also surpasses most doctors and medical equipment in the ability to save lives.
“With the injuries you two just had, if it weren’t for me, I believe you wouldn’t live long, so I’ve saved you twice, can we have a good chat now?” Muzan maintained a very gentle smile.
"Thank you very much." Finally, it was Rengoku who stood up and answered: "But we can actually choose to give up, and someone will naturally take us to the medical ship when the time comes."
As he said that, he raised his wrist and showed Muzan the wristband with a red button on it.
“But, looking at your expressions, it doesn’t seem like you’re thinking of giving up, right?”
Muzan glanced at the expressionless Sanemi and smiled. "The top ten, is it important to you?"
This made the latter's eyes flicker.
"Uh--indeed." Rengoku shook his head helplessly and said: "Okay, what do you want to talk about? I also want to know why you saved us?"
"Hehe, actually I have just said that I hope that those of us who come from the same world can stick together."
Muzan touched his collar and said the idea that he had hidden in his heart for some time: "I have learned that the World Government opens a dimensional gate connecting to other worlds every year."
“That is to say, every year a group of people from other worlds like us could arrive, and over time, groups and factions of all kinds will inevitably form.”
"In that case, why don't we take advantage of time and unite as soon as possible?"
At this time, Sanemi looked at him coldly and asked: “If we are to unite, there must be a leader, and I don’t think you are willing to follow Kagaya Ubuyashiki-sama as a leader.”
“Of course, Kagaya and the others are just my descendants. How could the ancestor submit to his descendants?”
Muzan responded with a puzzled expression.
“Also, both in terms of strength and position in the World Government, I am the most suitable to be the leader. Can you find someone more suitable?”
Sanemi was speechless, and Rengoku, after a brief silence, asked: "Even if we unite, what's the use?"
Sanemi also asked: "What do you want us to do for you?"
"Since it's a union, of course we have to help each other. The simplest thing is to exchange information. We are in different departments, which is helpful to everyone."
Muzan smiled, and made sure there was no one around, before saying: “Furthermore, I can make the total amount of your cells reach the level of the inhabitants of the Starfish World and make you of exceptional talent!”
"What... what?"
"How is this possible!"
Muzan, seeing their surprised expressions, smiled lightly and said in a low voice: "Not only did I participate in the development of the 'Perfect Type 1 Cell Strengthening Serum', but even the core material is the bloodline factor provided by me. As long as I collect your bloodline factors, I can make it at any time."
“Also, I can also copy the Kabane virus into its Nue form, but it would be best not to use it until you master the Seimei Kikkan. Unless you like living with your neck tight.”
Sanemi asked hurriedly: "That is to say, you can strengthen the total amount of our cells, and even strengthen every 'Demon Slayer'!"
“Exactly. That’s the benefit of being considered your leader. What do you think?”
Muzan raised an eyebrow with a small smile of satisfaction.
It couldn't be denied that Sanemi was already tempted, but remembering that the other party was the Demon King, he felt entangled and resistant.
With the ability of the Glare-Glare Fruit, Muzan quickly noticed what he was thinking.
“I repeat, I am no longer a demon, I am human, and furthermore, I am the ancestor of the Ubuyashiki family. I am done talking. You can discuss it with the others when you return.”
With that, he turned around, preparing to leave. At that moment, Rengoku's voice sounded from behind him.
"Excuse me, if we refuse, what will you do?"
“It won’t be much. In our world, there are many people. If you don’t want to, there will be those who will. But I can guarantee that their progress will be faster than yours~~”
[Swoosh!]
The next moment Muzan disappeared from the place.
Only Sanemi and Rengoku remained, undecided and in deep thought.
Because the monitoring Den-Den Mushi cannot transmit sound, the conversation between them, even the audience who are always paying attention here, did not hear a single word.
