"Yes, the intruders have been dealt with, there are no casualties."
"What do you mean I have to take care of it myself? You are the person in charge of this ship!"
"Do you know how precious the time of a scientific researcher is? Ever since I boarded your ship, you have left me all the big and small things on the ship. Until now, I have not completed a single experimental project. The year-end of the scientific team
Check how you want me to live!"
"Come back quickly!"
Kurome was so angry that she hung up the phone.
"Miss Kurome, how to deal with these monsters?"
The researcher next to him held a navy-style fire gun and pointed at the demon lying on the ground.
"Fire guns had no effect on them. Others tried to use flamethrowers, but accidentally activated the fire prevention device. These monsters were also strange. They all fell to the ground motionless when they touched the sea water."
"Don't ask me, I don't know. I'm going to do an experiment now. If you are afraid, just hide in the cabin. The cabins of the Ice and Fire Man are made of special alloys, and these monsters cannot open them."
Kuromi left after saying that.
It didn't take long for Annan and Esdeath to return to the ship. As soon as they arrived on the deck, they heard the navy on duty talking about Kuromi.
"Hey, Kuromi gave up his job?" Annan was a little surprised.
"Actually, it's because Miss Culomi can't finish this year's experimental project." A member of the scientific force who knew about it said, "Miss Culomi used to be Dr. Vegapunk's assistant, but later Vegapunk completely transformed her into a clone.
After she perfected it and no longer needed an assistant, she joined the Naval Science Corps."
"The captains of the scientific force all have experimental targets, and Miss Kuromi is no exception. However, she is also in charge of logistics at the base of the headquarters, so she often fails to meet the targets."
"Now that she came to the Ice and Fire Man, she thought she could do research, but it turned out that she was responsible for managing logistics."
"If you can't finish the experimental project, you won't be able to finish it. If you're doing scientific research, it's normal for it to take ten days and a half," Annan said.
"Ah, it's not impossible to delay for a while in the past, but this time it's different." The team member looked embarrassed, "After all, it's the end of the year, and this experimental topic is related to the year-end bonus..."
"Okay, I understand." Annan said, "This is so important."
He looked at the pile of demons on the deck.
"How did you defeat these demons?"
"So they are called demons," the team member said. "The projectiles fired by the firecrackers have no effect on them, but as soon as they hit the sea water, these demons will all die."
"Sea water?" Annan was a little surprised.
"Yes, it's amazing to say that Devil Fruit users are afraid of sea water, and this devil is also afraid of sea water. There shouldn't be any connection between the two. For example, these demons are also caused by the abilities of people with abilities." The team member joked. "Ability person..."
Annan lowered his head and thought.
"Instead of attacking the town, we split up to attack the navy. The information Mendel gave us is completely wrong. These demons are not acting aimlessly."
"What kind of mythical devil is it? It's obviously a man-made disaster, but we have all been deceived." Esdeath said to Annan.
"If it's a man-made disaster, who could it be?" Annan touched his chin, "This person must be on the island. The two of us scanned the entire island with our telescope before. Except for the small town, there is no trace of human life anywhere else.
”
"The mastermind behind this is in this town."
"There are thousands of people in the town, and the other party is always in the dark. If we rely on ourselves, it will be too difficult to investigate."
