Chapter 1597: The Intimidation of a Junior Researcher's Status!
Beneath the night sky, under the Milky Way and the bright moon.
In the luxurious manor garden, scarlet roses bloomed, vibrant and alluring.
However, the continuous sonic howls, rumbling, and roars in the air, along with the pervasive stench of blood, severely disrupted the tranquility that should have been here.
Mid-air.
Cain's entire body emitted a mysterious blood-red light, his wide bloody bat wings spread behind him, and his eyes glowed red with rage.
He transformed into streaks of scarlet flowing light, flying at high speed, constantly tearing apart the blood dragons that attempted to block him.
He launched wave after wave of powerful attacks against Sasori and the 'Human Puppet' Ketsuryu Chinoike he controlled.
This made Sasori feel unprecedented pressure!
He gradually realized that he had underestimated Cain's strength.
Of course.
The current Cain was not the Cain of the past.
As the President of the Beast God World holding a World Conference seat.
He was fully qualified to apply to the World Government for the exchange of various resources.
In these past few days, besides the cultivation secret method for Observation Haki, Cain also exchanged for a 'Perfect Type-3 Cell Enhancement Serum'.
Type-3!
It could grant people the physique of a genius-level Sea Star people.
Currently, only a small number of high-ranking officials and special personnel were qualified to exchange for this high-grade resource.
The World Government happened to include World Conference Representatives among them.
But it was also stipulated that they could only apply for exchange during the World Conference.
Meaning they got a chance every four years!
Cain didn't hesitate at all and directly exchanged for it, then injected it into his body.
Actually, in his heart, he knew it would be best to give it to Hank.
But ultimately, he couldn't be so selfless.
However, he did exchange for a 'Perfect Type-II Cell Strengthening Serum' and gave it to Hank.
As repayment for the favor of the other party sharing the 'Armament Haki Cultivation Method' with him.
Yes.
What Cain told Sasori before, that he exchanged for Armament Haki from the World Government, was actually a lie.
Because subconsciously, he didn't really want to admit it.
It felt awkward. Even though Cain considered Hank his only friend.
He always felt wary and vaguely resistant towards him.
Getting back to the 'Perfect Type-3 Cell Enhancement Serum'.
After nearly a year of diligent training.
Cain had already unlocked some of the potential it brought and transformed it into tangible physical ability.
This made him now no less than a normal Sea Star adult male.
The total amount of Armament Haki naturally increased accordingly.
It also drove the strength of the Pseudo-Divine Soldier within his body to become even stronger.
It could be said that while Hank was getting stronger, Cain was also improving his strength.
On Sasori's side, unfortunately, long ago, with Chiyo's help, he had already been injected with the 'Perfect Type-I Cell Reinforcement Serum'.
At that time, this serum had just been developed.
So, it couldn't be said that Chiyo did anything wrong.
She just gave her grandson the best gift available at that time.
But it also made it impossible for Sasori to inject the better 'Type-II', or even 'Type-III', or even the 'Type-IV' that might appear in the future.
This meant that Sasori was destined to have at most the physique of an ordinary Sea Star human body, making it difficult to achieve much in martial arts and Haki.
Fortunately, this was not something difficult for him to accept.
His current physical fitness level was already more than enough.
Putting everything else aside, once Sasori reached adulthood, his Chakra Amount, hand speed, reaction, physical ability, and other aspects would be sufficient to control two 'Human Puppets' for combat for a long time.
However, facing Cain's offensive at the moment, he was clearly starting to struggle.
Sweat had begun to seep from Sasori's forehead.
A Human Puppet was, after all, just a Human Puppet.
If it were Ketsuryu Chinoike when he was alive, the battle situation might have been much better.
Moreover, his Chakra Amount was somewhat unable to match Cain's Haki and stamina.
【Bang————】
At this moment, the blood light that Cain had transformed into extinguished all the blood dragons formed by converging blood flow.
He then closed in on the 'Human Puppet' Ketsuryu Chinoike, swung a blood claw, and struck it down, destroying a large area of blooming rose flowerbeds.
Immediately, his scarlet gaze turned towards Sasori, who was heavily panting.
"Kid, I don't want to kill you!"
"Last warning, give me back my daughter!"
"Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen next..."
Cain gritted his teeth.
Because he hadn't seen Millielia's figure for a long time, his mood became increasingly anxious and uneasy.
He began to consider whether to enter the Beast King Form he had only recently mastered, using greater strength to completely suppress Sasori and the 'Human Puppet' Ketsuryu Chinoike who was once again blocking in front of him.
However, this Beast King Form would cause a strong animalistic nature to invade one's will, making it very easy to lose all rationality.
Fortunately, the strength of Haki could barely suppress this negative spiritual influence.
But it was truly difficult, so difficult that he could only with difficulty recover his human form, and his personality would still become abnormally irritable.
Of course, Cain also knew that this was because his Haki level was insufficient.
Otherwise, he should be able to maintain rationality in the Beast King Form.
As for the higher realm of Beast God Form.
He planned to find time to visit the Ninja World Turtle Island in this world.
Since Hank could succeed, there was no reason why he should fail.
He admitted that Hank was the most excellent warrior in this world, but he also believed that his aptitude was only second to the other party!
Sasori felt the aura on Cain still rising at this moment, knowing that the other party definitely hadn't used his full strength yet.
But he wasn't flustered at all, a cold smile appeared on his face, and he immediately pointed out what Cain was wary of.
"Hmph, I am a Junior Researcher at the Biochemical Research Institute. If you dare to kill me, your fate won't be much better. Even if you're not sentenced to death penalty, you can forget about ever getting out of Impel Down in this life!"
Indeed, as soon as these words were spoken.
Cain's expression turned grim, and a look of hesitation appeared in his eyes.
He knew that what Sasori said was the truth.
If this stinky kid didn't have this identity, killing him would be simple enough, at most offending some people in the Ninja World.
But the other party was a Junior Researcher.
Don't look down on 'Junior', but he belonged to the official personnel with a formal position in the World Government.
If he dared to harm, or even kill Sasori, it wouldn't be long before the Military Police from the Ministry of Police Affairs, or the people from Cipher Pol No. 8, would come knocking.
The former would be fine, there would be a chance to take a trip to Enies Lobby and enjoy the treatment of 'free room and board for life' on a certain floor of Impel Down.
If it were the latter, it would be miserable. The trial process would be skipped, and it would be a direct 'assassination' on the spot!
If he dared to resist, or even truly evaded the assassination and wanted to use the power of the Beast God World to resist.
Then the matter would be even bigger.
Just wait for the Star Realm Army to descend again!
So, for Sasori, the identity of Junior Researcher was his greatest reliance.
For a time.
The scene fell into a stalemate.
But Cain, being clever, immediately thought of a method.
His gaze swept towards the direction where Miata was located.
Sasori's expression changed drastically upon sensing this.
"Hehehe, I certainly don't dare to make a move against you, but that girl shouldn't have any official status, right?"
Cain asked with a smile.
Indeed.
Although Miata had always lived in Impel Down, strictly speaking, she was truly just a 'civilian'.
Even if he killed her, the only people Cain would offend would be Dr. Daye and Clarice.
Miata wasn't even very familiar with the other former Claymore Warriors.
After all, she had been under house arrest and training in the headquarters of the Claymore Organization before.
Oh, there was also Teacher Goryugan Xiupu. That would indeed be quite serious.
"Father... Father, don't be like this. I'm back..."
Suddenly.
Millielia's voice sounded in the area.
This caused both Cain and Sasori, who were in a standoff, to change expression simultaneously.
Only, the former was filled with surprise, while the latter was filled with terror...
