Chapter 197: Devil Fruit Ability in Other World!
"One strike, one street, huh? That's interesting."
Marshal Raymond, who was also nearly three meters tall, lowered his head and glanced at Dr. Shouei, saying, "So you are indeed a genius, but your body is too frail. In a few days, I'll have someone bring over a batch of Sea Kings' meat."
"Sea Kings?"
Dr. Shouei had no idea what this was, but he could sense that the Army Marshal's gaze and tone no longer held the previous disdain, which significantly improved his mood.
"Thank you."
"Mm."
Marshal Raymond nodded. With that, the slight unpleasantness between them was put behind them. This was also the former's way of letting Dr. Shouei understand that only truly capable people would earn his recognition and respect.
"Oh, right, what did you mean earlier when you said there was hope for mass production?"
Before Director Fritz could answer his question, Minister Tsuru, who was standing nearby, smiled and said, "This should be my Mission, right?"
"Yes!"
Director Fritz nodded heavily, then looked at Minister Tsuru with anticipation and said, "According to our observations and experiments, we've found that the Kabaneri Virus causes the most negative Mental State in the Infected, with the primary emotion being Fear, and secondary emotions being the Desire for Blood and Brutality."
"So I thought if there was a way to suppress or eliminate this negative Spirit Control over the Brain, perhaps these Kabane could regain their Self-awareness and become true Kabane Warrior."
Minister Tsuru pursed her lips and chuckled softly.
"So you thought of my Wash-Wash Fruit Ability. It is indeed a very feasible idea. What are we waiting for? Let's start now. I'm actually quite curious if my Ability works on these Creature from Other World."
"Okay, okay, we'll start with the ordinary Red Heart Kabane!"
Director Fritz excitedly began instructing Group Leader Ron and others to quickly prepare. Meanwhile, Dr. Shouei was completely confused, thinking to himself, "What is the Wash-Wash Fruit Ability?"
Forgive Director Fritz, who was already nearing seventy. He had actually forgotten to give Dr. Shouei a copy of the basic Common Sense Data about Planet Sea!
Or rather, it seemed everyone had forgotten about this.
This resulted in people like Mima Amatori and Yotsugawa Ayame, although they roughly understood the concept of the World Government, still knowing nothing about the Situation on the Sea Star Mainland.
Why was this?
Perhaps they wanted them to learn slowly on their own.
Group Leader Ron's side was very efficient. They quickly locked an ordinary Kabane in an empty Prison Cell, then carefully placed a Clothes Rack inside.
However, they did not restrain the Kabane's Operation, allowing it to move freely inside.
But no one offered any Opinion on this, because no one felt that this thing could pose any threat to her.
Seeing this.
Under everyone's gaze, Minister Tsuru smiled and walked into the Prison Cell. As soon as the Kabane saw this fresh Meat over two meters tall, it immediately became excited, its ferocious face filled with a Desire for Blood.
"Hoh eh hou!"
Facing such a terrifying pounce from the Living Dead, the heroic and spirited Woman simply used her slender, fair Palm to gently stroke the former's face, seemingly slow but actually fast.
[Swish]
The next moment, as the Wash-Wash Fruit Ability was activated, Dr. Shouei, standing outside the Prison Cell, watched in astonishment as the Kabane's Body instantly became as thin as Paper, and then was casually hung by Tsuru on the Line of the Clothes Rack.
He even saw faint points of light shimmering on the Kabane's Body, and a faint Fragrance wafted towards him.
However, there was no Soap or Detergent in Hinamoto at the moment, so it was difficult for him to describe exactly what kind of Fragrance it was.
"It... it's actually smiling!!"
Dr. Shouei walked forward and tightly gripped the cold Iron Bar, staring at the Kabane's Expression.
"How is it, Minister Tsuru?" Director Fritz also asked with a nervous Expression. Marshal Raymond and Sakazuki, on the other hand, were calm.
"We'll know once it dries and is taken down."
As she spoke, Tsuru grabbed the Kabane, which had turned into 'Clothing', and shook it vigorously in front of her. With a crisp 'snap'.
The Kabane's Body instantly recovered, and it plopped down onto the cold ground, staring blankly at its Palm.
After a moment, under everyone's gaze, it slowly raised its head, looked at Tsuru's beautiful face, and asked, "Where is this place?"
"Wow!"
"It worked!!"
Group Leader Ron and several senior Researcher from the Biochemical Research Institute cheered. Director Fritz also had a look of relief, while Dr. Shouei remained in a petrified state.
"Ah ah ah, hungry, so hungry, Hoh eh————"
But before they could be happy for a few seconds, the seemingly recovered Kabane stared at Minister Tsuru's neck with a hungry, ferocious Expression, and then pounced like a Wild Beast, baring its fangs and claws.
[Thud]
A dull heavy sound rang out, and the Kabane was instantly sent flying back, smashing into the wall at the other end of the Prison Cell.
Tsuru slowly lowered her raised right foot, then walked out of the Prison Cell and softly said to Director Fritz.
"It seems its Desire for Blood wasn't Wash Away. But this isn't surprising. My Ability only Wash Away the 'evil' on a person's Heart, but the Creature instinct for Food cannot be affected."
The latter Reaction quickly and immediately shouted to Group Leader Ron, "Bring the Blood over quickly!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Soon, a white box containing a Blood Bag was brought over. They took out the Blood Bag, poured it into a Small Basin, placed it inside the Prison Cell, and quickly came out.
"Blood———hungry————"
The next moment, the Kabane, smelling the blood, slammed the nearby wall and fell out of the Dent. It crawled frantically to the basin with a crazed look and gulped down the blood.
Tsuru wasn't surprised to see that the Kabane she had kicked was still able to move. She hadn't used much Force anyway. After all, if she kicked it to death, she'd have to find another Kabane to Wash, which would be too troublesome.
"It seems its Autonomy has indeed recovered, but it's being affected by the Kabaneri Virus within its Body due to extreme hunger..."
Dr. Fritz roughly understood the Situation when he saw it could still speak human language. Now, they just had to wait for it to drink its fill.
Just like that, the People outside the Prison Cell quietly watched as the Kabane drank all the Blood in the Small Basin. However, the bloodstains covering its mouth and the drops of blood dripping down its chin onto its chest and the ground looked terrifying.
Fortunately, none of them were Ordinary People, so this kind of scene was nothing worth mentioning.
"Are you done drinking? If you're done, answer the questions. Do you still remember your Name?" Director Fritz couldn't help but ask.
"This... my Name is Oiwa Kurasuke. Excuse me, where is this? And... I... I'm not dead?" The Young People, who looked to be in his twenties, looked around with a confused Expression.
"You became a Kabane, but now we have restored your Consciousness. You are now a half-human, half-Kabane Kabaneri, hahahaha!"
After speaking, Director Fritz could no longer contain the joy in his Heart and burst into laughter. After laughing, he ignored the other party and turned to look at Tsuru.
"Through the experiment, it has been proven that your Ability can indeed help Kabane regain Consciousness. However, we also know that with your Identity and Status, it's impossible for you to waste Time on these ordinary Kabane."
"So, could we please ask you to go see 'Blue Heart'? If you can also restore its Consciousness, then in the future, we will only ask you to perform 'Wash Heart' on Kabane in the Nue form."
