Starting from pirates and conquering all worlds

snort----

When the Kabane virus invaded the body, Hawthorne's body swelled under the stimulation. He entered the human-animal form of the animal system and transformed into a huge kangaroo man at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Not to mention, with his transformation, the spread of the Kabane virus on his chest has been greatly slowed down. The most obvious thing is that the affected skin is not so dark and purple, but only a little red.

The increase in muscle strength can withstand higher temperatures, and naturally it will no longer be easily scorched by high-temperature blood vessels, but the key is whether he can preserve his consciousness!

Dr. Fritz watched Hawthorne's physical changes while thinking and explaining.

Not long after, a ball of blue light also appeared on the chest of the kangaroo man. However, it may be due to muscle strength issues that it failed to burn through the epidermis, so it did not form the transparent film of ordinary kabar, and the brightness was naturally a bit dim.

But when the light from the left carotid artery passed through his eyes and invaded the brain, the man stood there stunned, and the blue light in his pupils lasted only three seconds before returning to black.

Success?!

Seeing this scene, Dr. Fritz, Director Addison and others outside the cell all looked happy.

Are you still conscious? Say something and listen.

In the cell, the scientific researcher walked up to Hawthorn cautiously and asked casually, but the latter just raised his head blankly and looked at the surrounding environment in confusion.

呲呲呲呲~~

ah?

Seeing the kangaroo man making strange noises towards him, the researcher looked at him confused and asked again: Can you tell me, what is your name?

呲呲呲呲~~

It was still the same, still making inexplicable noises in a daze, and now the smiles on the faces of everyone outside the cell froze.

This is the sound of kangaroos. They live in my hometown, so they are very familiar. Suddenly, Steve Gus, who was sitting next to him, said.

“It turned out to be like this”

Dr. Fritz touched his chin, which he had just shaved in the morning, and said in a deep voice: I didn't expect that legend to be true.

What legend? Senior Director Addison asked curiously.

It is said that the animal type among devil fruits is the most special type because it contains another consciousness and soul. Now it seems to be true.

You mean that Hawthorne's personal consciousness was invaded by the Kabane virus, causing the kangaroo consciousness in the body to awaken and replace the former as the dominant consciousness of the body?

Yes, this is the only explanation.

Dr. Fritz glanced at him approvingly and said: I just don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing, but judging from the current performance, the kangaroo's dominant consciousness appears to be very docile, but the glowing heart is It also proves that its body is also strengthened by the virus.”

After speaking, he turned to the scientific researchers in the cell and ordered: Ron, come out first and let them untie Hawthorne.

Yes, Dean!

As Team Leader Ron quickly walked out of the cell, the two men in black looked at each other, took out the keys and unlocked the sea-floor stone handcuffs and leg cuffs as instructed, but the explosive collars around their necks were still left on.

呲呲呲~~

Hawthorn, who had transformed into a kangaroo man, showed a humane smile when he saw them letting go of him, and waved his hands towards them in a gesture of thanks.

As expected, okay, let's find a place to keep it. Make sure it doesn't lack food and water. Check its health in a few days and then return it to Impel Down.

Dr. Fritz lost interest in Hawthorne.

yes!

Soon, a man in black in the cell left with the obedient kangaroo man. Everyone's eyes were focused on Gus, who acted very indifferently.

After seeing two examples in a row, he had relaxed and probably had a clear understanding of the virus.

bring it on.

Go ahead.

Dr. Fritz nodded to Team Leader Ron, who once again carried the box and walked in in front of Gus. The process was the same as before, pushing the virus into Gus' chest without any hesitation.

snort!

Gus groaned, because he felt the pain in his chest that was like being burned by fire, but fortunately he could endure it by gritting his teeth.

A pair of vicious eyes stared at the lines of light connected to his heart, and then quickly ignited them!

It's hot, it's hot, it's very painful!

No wonder the first prisoner in front let out such a miserable scream. The level of pain was indeed a bit beyond ordinary people's imagination. There was a large amount of cold sweat on his head and back.

Finally, the heart was completely changed, and the skin on the chest was burned into a transparent steel membrane. The severe pain disappeared like running water, and I only felt warm all over my body, and at the same time, a strong sense of strength spread throughout every muscle.

Concentrate, your life or death will be determined next, try to prevent the blood from the left carotid artery from invading the brain! Dr. Fritz reminded in a louder voice, calling Gus's attention back in time.

good!

Gus's eyes suddenly froze, and he lowered his head and stared closely at the blue-light blood vessel spreading up, while at the same time immersing his consciousness deeply into his body.

He began to try to control the left carotid artery and the high-temperature blood in it, and found that the process was not difficult.

Although the arteries and blood vessels have become as strong as the heart membrane, and although the blood is as hot and shiny as boiling water, the blood vessels are still blood vessels, the blood is still blood, and it is still controlled by the return of life!

Success?!

From the perspective of Dr. Fritz and others outside the cell, as soon as he said his reminder, the glowing left carotid artery on Gus's body stopped at the collarbone very honestly and remained motionless.

This left his eyes and brain unaffected at all, but at the same time, a large amount of sticky black threads were secreted from his body, and then quickly condensed into armor with a metallic luster on his naked upper body.

This is a biological exoskeleton!

I think it should be okay, please help me loosen it. Gus raised his head and showed a bright smile of joy. He survived!

The only one among the three test subjects who survived!

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Dr. Fritz was overjoyed when he heard this. He hugged Senior Director Addison beside him and shouted: Our Kabane warriors succeeded!

Yes, yes, I didn't expect it to be possible. Now we have made a great achievement, that is.

Senior Director Addison looked at Steve Guess who slowly stood up after taking off his handcuffs, shackles and explosive collar, and sighed: You must master the return of life in order to adapt to the Kabane virus. This condition is a bit high.

No, that's not right!

Dr. Fritz let him go, with an excited smile still on his face, and said: The first test subject proved that as long as the domineering force is strong enough, the negative emotions in the Kabane virus can be suppressed.

And Gus proved that just cutting off the left carotid artery can prevent the virus from invading the brain. This can also be done physically, such as using something like a bandage!

At this time, Steve Gus, who was led out by Team Leader Ron and another man in black, walked out shirtless.

The bright blue light on the chest and the spiderweb-like glowing blood vessels spreading around were so beautiful in Dr. Fritz's eyes.

Doctor, there is actually another problem, and that is the severe pain. Most people can't bear that kind of pain. Once you lose consciousness, it will be useless even if you regain your life! Gus said in a deep voice.

really.

Dr. Fritz nodded in approval. Although he had not experienced it, he could imagine how painful it would be to have fire or lava flowing in the body.

Also, it made me awaken my Haki. This feeling of being able to sense the breath and emotions of the people around me should be the Haki of seeing and hearing, right?
