OPI Chapter 215: Devil Fruits and Serums
🕑 Added 2024-08-01 16:54:36 +0000 UTCAfter distributing the devil fruits, the seven Giant God Warriors lined up and walked out of the Great Hall.
Saul and Dorry returned to their respective floors to continue their surveillance, while Surtur, Oimo and the others returned to their residences to familiarize themselves with their new abilities.
Once the giants left, Imu asked the four Ubuyashiki sisters to stand before him.
Although the four sisters did not quite understand the reason, they obediently walked and lined up, patiently waiting for Imu's words.
"As my assistants, your value is still not enough." Given the ages of the four girls, Imu softened her tone a little, though it still sounded somewhat curt.
But the four sisters were very calm after hearing that, as if they didn't care about Imu's comment at all.
Only the clenched fists under the sleeves of their kimonos slightly revealed their nervousness at the moment.
"Therefore, I will grant each of you a devil fruit. But first, you need to improve your physical condition." After saying this, Imu looked at Stussy.
Stussy nodded respectfully, then pulled a small black box from his shirt pocket.
The next moment, the small black box expanded rapidly and returned to its original size.
Stussy then opened the box. A cold air cleared away, revealing four syringes filled with red liquid.
"This is the perfect type 1 cell strengthening serum developed by Dean Fritz of the Biochemical Research Institute."
"It is based on the genes of the 'perfect creature' Muzan Kibutsuji and the genes of each of you as main materials, designed to drastically increase the number of cells in your bodies."
Stussy gave a brief introduction and smiled.
"This will raise your fitness and potential!"
The development of this serum is great evidence of the comprehensive development of the World Government.
Since Muzan Kibutsuji joined the Biochemical Research Institute and absorbed a large amount of knowledge in biotechnology, they have received unimaginable help in the field of Lineage Factors.
Muzan's blood, although no longer having the ability to turn others into demons since he transformed into a 'perfect creature', still has the terrifying ability to cause various effects on other organisms.
As for the strengthening serum, it cannot be mass-produced now, and can only be customized according to each person's genes, otherwise there will be a serious rejection phenomenon.
And although it does have an effect on the inhabitants of Starfish World, it is not very noticeable. It only slightly improves the health of the weakest individuals.
The Biochemical Research Institute is therefore working to turn it into a suitable vaccine for the babies of Starfish World.
If they succeed, the average physical fitness of the inhabitants of Starfish World will increase considerably in the future.
"Use it."
Imu floated the four vials of serum to the Ubuyashiki sisters.
The four little girls hesitated for a few seconds, but then, with a determined expression, they rolled up their sleeves and injected the serum into their arms, enduring the pain of the needles as the serum was slowly injected into their bodies.
Soon after, the Ubuyashiki sisters' bodies began to undergo changes. They felt hot, sweaty, breathed rapidly, and were overcome by intense hunger.
The hunger was so intense that their bodies trembled weakly, as if they were going to collapse at any moment.
Seeing this, Stussy took out four small white pills with a purple butterfly pattern from his inner pocket and personally handed them to each of the sisters.
"This is the 'Violet Butterfly Rescue Pill' developed by Doctor Kocho. It has the effect of replenishing vitality and provides high nutrition. Take it!"
The sisters did not hesitate to accept it and swallow it immediately.
Soon, a gentle purple light appeared on their bodies, and their pale faces quickly became healthier.
"As expected of Sister Shinobu." Hinaki touched her satisfied stomach and muttered softly.
"The increase in total cells will take a few days. During this time, try not to use your devil fruit abilities. When you feel that your bodies are full of energy, you can begin training."
Stussy gently warned the four little girls.
"Thank you, Miss Stussy!"
The sisters could feel her kindness from her and thanked her in unison.
"Then let's get started."
"Hinaki."
Imu called the first sister.
"Yes, Lord Imu." Hinaki answered softly.
Soon, a devil fruit flew towards her.
"Hinaki, this is the Brush-Brush Fruit. The basic ability is to turn drawn things into entities, including sentient creatures, food, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and other natural phenomena."
"Also, the more advanced the user's ability, the more powerful the things they draw will be. However, they will dissolve upon contact with water."
Stussy continued to describe the powers of the Devil Fruit.
"Its previous user was Kurozumi Kanjuro, who is considered the best among all recorded ability users. The things he draws will not dissolve even if they come into contact with water. They will only be destroyed after being attacked multiple times."
Hinaki said hesitantly: "Although I have learned some ink painting from my mother, I can't say I am that good."
Stussy smiled slightly.
"Don't worry. Under Lord Imu's instructions, we have brought the best painters available to be your teachers."
"Okay. Thank you, Lord Imu!" Hinaki bowed and then took the devil fruit, bit off a piece and swallowed it with difficulty.
"Nichika, Kuina, Kanata."
Imu directly called out the names of the other three sisters to save time.
"Yes, Lord Imu!"
Three Devil Fruits flew towards the sisters and Stussy began to explain again.
"Nichika, yours is the Book-Book Fruit. Kuina, yours is the Mirror-Mirror Fruit. Kanata, yours is the Memo-Memo Fruit."
"The basic abilities of these devil fruits are..."
...
It's been almost a month and Imu is still on Paradis Island. According to the requirements of the 'Planetary Dominance' function, he must remain in a world for three years in order to fully control it.
However, he has recently noticed that Enma's Sword is ineffective.
That is to say, he cannot enter the underworld of Starfish World nor the underworld of this world.
Imu suspects that this has to do with the fact that he has not yet sent any souls from this world to the King of Death.
If the King of Death conquered the underworld of the Titan World, the functionality of the Enma sword should be activated.
To confirm this, Imu went to the Demon Slayer World a few days ago and there he tried to use the Enma sword again.
Sure enough, he managed to enter the underworld of the Demon Slayer World.
That underworld had a somewhat cold atmosphere. But its most prominent feature was the red butterflies and Red Spider Lily flowers that could be seen everywhere.
According to his observation, red butterflies seem to be beings of spiritual particles that contain negative emotions.
Imu tried to absorb one and found that although it has a certain nourishing effect on the soul, it also affects the mind, that is, it causes a kind of spiritual pollution.
However, he also saw some blue butterflies. These butterflies did not have any negative emotions, but he saw many familiar skeletons dressed in black using an insect net to collect these blue butterflies.
Through simple mental communication, Imu discovered that these blue butterflies were the souls of the people of the Demon Slayer World after they died. They also made it clear to him that these blue butterflies were necessary for the King of Death, so he better not touch them.
This greatly annoyed Imu, but there was nothing he could do, the King of Death was an existence he could not confront.
Finally, when Imu was about to leave the underworld of the Demon Slayer World, the purple soul flames in the skeleton's eyes increased in intensity, and the Death King's harsh voice echoed in his ear.
“Ruler of the Human World, send the souls of the third world as soon as possible.”
Obviously, the other party had learned of the war between the World Government and the Titan World through the souls who died in the Starfish World.
This led Imu to decide not to use the Enma sword anymore for the time being and wait for the fourth Dimensional Gate to open to consider his situation. In any case, he did not want to give him the underworld of the Titan World.
...
Starfish World, Headquarters of the Armed Forces.
In the 500-square-meter hall, all the officers of the armed forces had been summoned for a meeting.
In the front row sat Navy Admiral Garp; Admiral Kuzan; Army General Sakazuki; Honorary General Edward Newgate; Air Force General Borsalino; General Kaido; and Honorary General Charlotte Linlin.
Behind them were Army General Reserve Douglas Bullet and Army General Reserve Crocodile.
Yes, in the second row there were only the two of them.
In the third row were Marco, King and others.
On stage were Kong, Zephyr, Tsuru, the Sengoku and Raymond.
Kong coughed twice and then got straight to the point.
“We have summoned you to announce three important matters.”
“First, Marshal Raymond will no longer serve as Marshal of the Air Force. Minister Zephyr of the Military and Political Department will serve as Marshal of the Air Force.”
Those present turned their gaze towards the calm Zephyr, but no one raised any objections. After all, Zephyr's strength and experience were not in doubt.
Only Borsalino pouted his lips in frustration. He could already imagine the numerous sermons and reprimands that would come.
