APJ CHAPTER 90 BURNT TO ASHES

The people of MADS had gathered together to study the same thing, such as Lineage Factor.

In this regard, Queen, Judge and Vegapunk each have their own research direction, but they all revolve around Lineage Factor.

Apart from that, each of them also has their own research focus, and Queen’s expertise lies not only in human body modification but also in the application of viruses as weapons.

He refers to his research findings as “Plague Bullets”, and depending on the type of virus, the Plague Bullets come in different models, and this model is called “Human Vegetable”.

After injecting poison into the berry, he carries them around and releases it through the skill Natural Gift. Compared to bullets or artillery shells, the energy attack of Natural Gift is more difficult to evade.

“Human Vegetable” is the most successful combination he has attempted. People affected by his Natural Gift will gradually lose control of their bodies while remaining conscious. If an antidote is not administered, they will eventually fall into a coma after a period of time.

And after a certain amount of time, they will become real Human Vegetable, as evidenced by his experiment results on the defeated rogue pirates.

Moreover, this release method has another advantage: by using a different fruit as a medium, he can quickly produce an antidote.

The attack of Natural Gift quickly spread throughout the entire ship, causing those inside the cabin to sense that something was off and hastily retrieve their gas masks.

In their usual dealings, they frequently employ wide-ranging anesthetic gasses. Since the organs of deceased individuals aren’t as valuable as those of the living, they typically choose to capture people to obtain higher-quality organs.

If they kill their targets, they must quickly remove what they need before leaving. Releasing an anesthetic gas before commencing combat is their typical modus operandi.

However, Natural Gift is not a gas, but a special kind of energy. Even though the gas mask filtered the air, their bodies still came into contact with Natural Gift, and after only a minute, their bodies began to stiffen, and one by one they fell to the floor of the cabin.

Meanwhile, Queen was counting down the time on the deck, and after more than three minutes, he finally headed towards the direction of the cabin. However, a dark figure was suddenly dropped in front of him.

“Hey, what are you doing?”

“He was able to escape from getting caught in your attack. I can see that your Armament Haki is quite strong, but your Observation Haki is lacking.” The dark figure was dropped by Shayna. It was a member of the Organ Dealing Assassination Group. He had hidden on the watchtower when he realized the situation was not favorable.

Queen’s Natural Gift was aimed at the cabin below, so he overlooked that corner. Natural Gift was not a gas and would not float up for no reason.

But despite managing to hide from Queen, he was unable to hide from Shayna.

“You make it sound easy.”

At this moment, Queen’s Armament Haki was stronger than his Observation Haki, which was related to his training method. Whether it was Armament Haki or Observation Haki, the best way to train was to break through in battle.

Other than that, the only option was to take a beating. However, taking a beating while employing Armament Haki and taking a hit while utilizing Observation Haki are different.

Training Armament Haki involves improving one’s defense rather than evasion, while with Observation Haki, the goal is to anticipate the opponent’s attacks in order to dodge them.

However, some of Queen’s sparring partners were too powerful, which made it difficult for him to dodge their attacks. Over time, in order to avoid turning into a ball, he had no choice but to focus more on training his Armament Haki. This ultimately led to this result.

“But why did you come?”

“Lord Sacred Beast was afraid you might mess up, so he sent me to take a look. When it’s over, let’s go back.”

“Wait, don’t be in a hurry. There should be a lot of loot on this ship. It would be a shame if we don’t take anything.”

Saying that, Queen planned to go and scavenge for loot, but he came back up soon after.

“Um, there’s something you should take a look at.”

“I’m not interested in these things. Stop wasting time.”

“No, it’s hard to explain this thing. You should come down and see for yourself.”

Under Queen’s repeated insistence, Shayna followed him down into the cabin of the ship. The environment inside was noticeably better and well-maintained, with clear evidence of thorough cleaning and a distinct scent of disinfectant in the air.

Several large cultivation vessels were placed in the cabin, and objects resembling organs were soaking in an unidentified liquid. This was the warehouse of the Organ Dealing Assassination Group, where their merchandise was stored.

Below that were the even bloodier slaughterhouse and prison, but Queen showed no intention of continuing down and instead pointed to the wall ahead, where a pair of black wing-shaped specimen was hanging.

“.”

“This is the thing. If I’m not mistaken, this thing should be-” Queen didn’t finish his sentence and took two steps back. He was one of the top three people who knew Shayna the best.

Regarding the extent of Shayna’s anger, Queen wasn’t bragging when he said that he understood it better than even Arceus. Currently, Shayna was visibly on the brink of a rage, but she was forcing herself to hold it in.

“Find the survivors and detoxify them. I have some things I need to ask.”

Black wing specimens were not common. Shayna didn’t know who the owner of those wings was, but she could tell they were from her race. Queen recognized them because he knew the true race of Shayna and King.

He had also helped them with their wounds, so he knew some characteristics of the Lunarians, which helped him recognize the wings.

Lunarian’s wings were a part of their body, so the appearance of wings here meant that there was a blood debt to be paid.

Queen didn’t want to describe what happened next. He realized that women were much more terrifying when they went crazy compared to men. He referred to King as torture-loving pe*vert, but compared to what he just witnessed with Shayna, King’s own interrogation tactics seemed relatively tame.

There was nothing particularly valuable about the wings. They had obtained them several decades ago and only kept them on the ship as decorations. There was another pair of wings like this in their New World’s base, which was sourced from the World Government’s auction.

Although they were the Organ Dealing Assassination Group, they had their own dealings with the World Government.

The source of these wings was the remains of some Lunarian people who had died, which were then utilized and sold by some officials of the World Government.

Finally, Shayna used the Lunarian’s flame to incinerate the pair of wings. Lunarians’ funeral customs involved cremation, and only their own flames could completely burn their remains.

In order to hunt the Millennial Dragon, there were no other people on this ship except for the members of the Organ Dealing Assassination Group and the ship only contained some goods because they could encounter potential customers at any time. So, it made things easier for Shayan for what she did next.

Scorching flames condensed in her mouth and bursting flames spewed out – burning everything to ashes. The entire ship, including the members of the Organ Dealing Assassination Group on board, was incinerated in the raging fire.
