Chapter 38

Jack replied indifferently, "You should not thank me, but Imperial Son-in-Law Luo Xing; these Immortal Beans are the Imperial Son-in-Law's invention."

Billy faced the direction of Wano Country and kowtowed three times with loud thuds, tears streaming down his face.

At this moment, even if he were to die for Luo Xing, he would not hesitate for a second.

"Enough, leave here quickly, or Akainu will arrive soon."

While speaking, Jack ordered his men to hurry and load the treasures onto the ship.

Billy stood up, wiped away his tears, and thought silently in his heart:

"I, Billy, was once just a bottom-ranker in the Beasts Pirates' forces; it was the Imperial Son-in-Law, my lord, who fed me the first Devil Fruit cell, allowing me to become a True Commander."

"This time, the Immortal Beans invented by the Imperial Son-in-Law have saved my life once again."

"For such immense grace and virtue, I shall repay it with my life henceforth!"

Akainu arrived only hours later; the daylily buds had already gone cold.

Seeing the Navy corpses scattered everywhere, Akainu was filled with rage.

"Drought Jack, just pray you never meet me again, or I will make you taste the flavor of a magma bath!"

In his fury, Akainu wished he could attack Wano Country right now.

"Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, someone is still alive!"

Akainu hurriedly looked over; it was a Navy Branch Captain, barely clinging to life, with a military doctor performing emergency treatment beside him.

After a long while, that Branch Captain finally struggled to open his eyes.

Akainu asked urgently, "Do you know where Drought Jack and the others went?"

The captain shook his head and said weakly, "I... I don't know, but I have major intelligence... to report!"

"What?"

"The Beast Imperial Son-in-Law invented a drug called Immortal Beans that can regenerate severed limbs... Those pirates also said that no matter how severe the injury, eating one Immortal Bean allows for immediate and complete recovery."

"What?!"

Two "whats," one questioning, one shocked.

Even Akainu, who had seen much, could not help but be utterly shocked.

Regenerating severed limbs, healing any injury instantly in an instant—does such a drug exist in this world?

Akainu could not believe it, then suddenly realized that Drought Jack, whose lungs had been pierced by him before, must have recovered thanks to the Immortal Beans.

For no reason, a chill of goosebumps rose along Akainu's spine.

He was not afraid of fighting people; even if Kaido of the Beasts were here, he would dare to challenge the opponent, even make Kaido taste his power.

But.

Thinking of that mysterious Beast Imperial Son-in-Law, he felt a powerlessness he had never experienced before.

That person was extremely mysterious; no one in the outside world had ever seen his true face.

First, he invented Devil Fruit cells, greatly increasing the Beasts Pirates' combat power, making Dr. Vegapunk feel ashamed by comparison.

Now he has invented something called Immortal Beans, which can heal all injuries in the world!

Truly terrifying!

Akainu finally understood why the Wulaoxing Society personally ordered a bounty of one billion five hundred million Berries to be issued for the Beast Imperial Son-in-Law Luo Xing.

Because,

The threat level of that person's inventions to the World Government has already surpassed the Four Emperors!

41. The Impact of Immortal Beans on the World Order (Please vote for flowers and tickets)

Jack had become smarter, no longer acting like a stubborn fool; he deliberately chose the Navy base farthest from Akainu to launch an attack.

As a result, every time Akainu arrived, he could only see a ground covered in Navy corpses.

Akainu's teeth were nearly ground to dust, hating Jack to the bone.

Just as he was preparing to mobilize all Navy forces in the New World to form a siege around Jack, Jack slipped away and ran back to Wano Country.

Upon learning this, Akainu became even more angry and resentful, yet helpless.

He did not stay in the New World any longer and returned to Navy Headquarters without stopping.

He went straight to Fleet Admiral Sengoku's office.

"That Beast Imperial Son-in-Law Luo Xing invented a drug called Immortal Beans that can regenerate severed limbs and restore any injury instantly?"

Upon hearing Akainu's report, Sengoku stood up, losing his composure.

Akainu nodded solemnly, "Correct; this was witnessed firsthand by a Branch Captain."

Sengoku was shocked and speechless.

After a long while, he came to his senses and said bitterly:

"I thought Devil Fruit cells were shocking enough; I never expected that guy to invent such an overpowered drug!"

"Sigh! Why couldn't he be in our Navy camp, but instead be Kaido of the Beasts' son-in-law?"

The illustrious Strategist Sengoku actually said such words, clearly because Luo Xing's inventions were giving him an extreme headache.

So much so that Sengoku had the absurd thought that it would be better if Luo Xing were in the Navy camp.

Garp was also present; hearing this, he chuckled mockingly:

"Sengoku, who told you not to have a beautiful daughter? But it doesn't matter; we have many great beauties in the Navy, like Momoiro and Hinata; let them use the beauty trap to snatch that Luo Xing over; it's not impossible!"

Sengoku blew his whiskers and glared, cursing:

"Garp, shut your mouth! You have caused no small trouble for me! The number one enemy of the World Government, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, is your son!"

Garp laughed even louder, munching on senbei while grinning:

"I only have one old life; I cannot bear such a grave crime!"

Facing the rascal Karp, Sengoku had not a shred of recourse other than anger.

Fortunately, Karp was not someone unaware of propriety; he soon straightened his expression and solemnly said:

"If those Senzu Beans truly possess the effect Sakazuki described, they will likely cause a massive impact on the structure of The Present World!"

Sengoku frowned tightly, clearly agreeing with Karp's words.

Just imagine what role Senzu Beans, capable of instantly healing injuries, would play in war?

If one side possesses Senzu Beans, they fear no injury, can fight recklessly, and cannot be defeated no matter how they are attacked.

The other side, lacking Senzu Beans, would be constantly worn down; even if their troop numbers exceed the enemy's, defeat would be a matter of time.

And even more terrifying is the impact on battles between top-tier powerhouses!

As everyone knows, the strength of top-tier powerhouses is mostly evenly matched; for instance, the three Admirals would need at least several days and nights to determine a victor.

The final outcome would most likely be mutual devastation, with even the victor achieving only a pyrrhic victory.

But with Senzu Beans, it is different; when two top-tier powerhouses are both exhausted, one taking a Senzu Bean immediately becomes vigorous again—what is there to fight about then?

To give another example,

suppose Kaido of the Beasts brings hundreds of Senzu Beans to attack the Marine Headquarters.

Then even if Sengoku, Karp, and the three Admirals all join forces, they might not be able to do anything to him.

Because as long as Kaido is not instantly killed in one blow, Kaido eats a Senzu Bean and instantly returns to his peak.

Such a battle would exhaust the Marine side to death!

Sengoku and Karp had thought of this point.

But even having thought of it, there was no good solution; Sengoku sighed and said:

"This matter can only be left to Dr. Vegapunk to study, to see if he can invent something to counter the Senzu Beans."

The miraculous effects of the Senzu Beans quickly spread throughout the entire sea, sparking interest and even greed among many powerhouses.

On the Moby Dick.

Bai Huzi was not particularly interested in the Senzu Beans; upon hearing the news, he merely snorted coldly:

"That kid Kaido has truly found a good son-in-law."

But Ma Erke's eyes immediately sparkled, and he urgently said:

"Father, those Senzu Beans can cure all injuries; your body has a chance of salvation!"

The aged Bai Huzi's body grew worse day by day; his strength, reaction ability, and other aspects had declined significantly compared to his youth.

Part of the reason was the hidden injuries he had suffered in the past, and the other part was the recoil inflicted upon himself by the Gura Gura no Mi.

Regarding Father's body, Ma Erke, as the ship's doctor, had always watched it with his eyes and worried in his heart.

Now that there was finally a possibility of a medicine to cure Father's body, how could Ma Erke not be overjoyed?
