I'm Human!

Even Imu was somewhat surprised by Muzan Kibutsuji's sudden appearance, finding it too dramatic.

When the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps encountered an insurmountable enemy, they were saved by the Progenitor of Demons.

Whether it's Kyojuro Rengoku and Sanemi Shinazugawa, the two people directly involved, or the former Demon Slayer Corps members watching, they must all be thinking, "A herd of alpacas is stampeding through my mind!"

"But this guy actually volunteered to do it; this is really getting interesting!"

Imu thought to himself, and his mood inexplicably improved. He especially enjoyed seeing these 'original characters' undergo various changes in the Sea Star World.

"Husband, this Muzan Kibutsuji has actually lived for over a thousand years? And he's some kind of 'perfect being,' is he exceptionally strong?"

At this moment, Historia, Empress was sitting next to him, asked in confusion.

Even Mikasa, who was standing behind her as a guard, was looking at Muzan Kibutsuji in the scene with curiosity.

"Remember, it's not about living longer to become stronger. You'll see many long-lived, even immortal beings in the future, so get used to looking at them with normal eyes as soon as possible."

Imu glanced sideways and calmly offered guidance, while Historia listened respectfully.

"As for Muzan Kibutsuji's strength, I haven't really paid much attention to it. Stussy, you tell me."

"OK."

Stussy nodded, then quickly recalled various information about Muzan in his mind before softly explaining, "According to the latest report from the Biochemical Research Institute..."

"After Muzan Kibutsuji became a 'perfect being,' he mastered all the basic techniques of the 'Rokushiki' in just three days, and at the same time Awakening Observation Haki and Armament Haki, with Armament Haki being stronger."

"It's worth mentioning that Muzan Kibutsuji can unleash a mental Shockwave similar to Conqueror's Haki, and it also possesses extremely strong physical destructive power."

"After examination by Warden Columbus, it was discovered that it was not a manifestation of Conqueror's Haki's Haki such as willpower or spirit, but rather a very pure Divine Power."

"Furthermore, he lacks sufficient control over this mental Shockwave to selectively attack it."

After hearing this, Imu was not surprised at all.

Although theoretically, it is quite normal for Muzan Kibutsuji, as the former 'Progenitor of Demons' and now the 'perfect being,' to Awakening Conqueror's Haki.

However, his overly cautious and timid personality, as well as the lingering fear of Yoriichi Tsugikuni deep in his heart, severely hindered and affected the emergence of Conqueror's Haki.

With Muzan's current strength and abilities, he has absolutely no need to fear an opponent of Yoriichi Tsugikuni's caliber.

Psychological trauma, though invisible, is a real problem.

"If we find an opportunity to let Muzan Kibutsuji defeat Yoriichi Tsugikuni, it might be possible to restore his original spirit and confidence."

Imu pondered this matter in his heart, while Stussy brought up another matter.

"Furthermore, Muzan Kibutsuji has already absorbed a Blue Light Heart from Kabane Nue form and a prisoner with a bounty of 230 million Beli."

"So he should still possess the special abilities of 'Nue,' the combined physique of a powerful Sea Star Person, and also be Paramecia Devil Fruit User staring at someone staring at someone."

"According to Warden Columbus's assessment, currently only I and Magellan can suppress Muzan Kibutsuji in Impel Down on a strength level."

"This is also because his Armament Haki is still in its early stages and he lacks some depth in terms of technique."

Now Imu finally took Muzan Kibutsuji.

I never expected this guy to be so comfortable in Impel Down; he's like a fish in water.

Blue Spider Lily, the Blue Light Heart of the 'Nue', and prisoners with bounties of hundreds of millions—these are all considered high-level resources by World Government today!

"And what about control over him?"

"Although the shadow has been returned to him, the 'Pet Ring' is still on Muzan Kibutsuji's body," Stussy reported softly.

Imu nodded.

Given Muzan Kibutsuji's personality, even if the 'Ring' restrictions Dispel, he probably wouldn't rebel against the World Government; he's someone who really enjoys a peaceful life.

But as the saying goes, people's hearts can change.

Furthermore, his ability to mimic is incredibly powerful, far surpassing even the Paramecia Clone-Clone Fruit.

Honestly.

If Muzan Kibutsuji someone and then transformed into that person's appearance, the current World Government would have no way of telling the difference.

Given his personality, he'd most likely choose to escape into the sea and find somewhere to live a carefree life.

This is certainly not allowed.

"By the way, have the Biochemical Research Institute and Impel Down take note: have them add a rule to the 'Pet Ring' that forbids Muzan Kibutsuji touching the Eldians in the 'Giant World'!"

Imu suddenly remembered something and gave the order in a stern tone.

This aroused the suspicion of Empress Historia and Mikasa, but he did not explain it to them, only thinking about it to himself.

"Once Muzan absorbs the Eldians Lineage Factor, Ymir in the 'Coordinate' space could potentially control him!"

Think about it.

What would happen if Muzan Kibutsuji still possessed the power of the Nine Titans? Or what would happen if Ymir learned about the genetic makeup of the 'Perfect Being'?

Either way, the chances of something going wrong are too high, so this must be avoided!

On the other side.

Galsas Island served as the preliminary round venue for the North Blue regional competition.

Who are you?

"Are you also from Otherworld? But your aura isn't weak."

For some reason, Bard Reddy felt inexplicably nervous when facing Muzan Kibutsuji; a subconscious sense of crisis sent chills down his spine.

The other person was clearly a short guy, not even 1.8 meters tall!

"Oh?"

Seeing that Kyojuro Rengoku and Sanemi Shinazugawa still looked dumbfounded Muzan Kibutsuji glanced over at them.

But that one glance made Bard Reddy feel as if he had been seen through from head to toe, and he subconsciously took two steps back.

"That's right, let's kill you first and then talk to these 'acquaintances'."

What did you say?

Bard Reddy was about to sneer when his vision blurred, and then Ichika huge Sound Explosion exploded in his ears before his vision went completely black. He only had time to marvel at the incredible thing.

"So fast!"

Within his Observation Haki sensory world, he could clearly see a thin, long, black fleshy spike shooting out from the opponent's right index finger.

But its speed was just too fast, and my body didn't have time to react at all.

Wrong.

He did use Armament Haki, but he only had time to Hardening a black patch on the attacked brow. However, such a hasty defense was as vulnerable as tofu against that supersonic flesh spike.

A Paramecia Thorn Devil Fruit User died from another person's thorns.

But as Bard Reddy collapsed to the ground with a bloody hole between his eyebrows, Muzan Kibutsuji's gaze had already shifted back to Kyojuro Rengoku and Sanemi Shinazugawa.

It was like casually swatting a mosquito.

"We all come from the same world, so why don't we put aside our past and stick together for mutual support within this World Government?"

As he spoke calmly, he extended his fingers and once again shot out two thin, fleshy spikes.

Although the latter was extremely vigilant and even tried to dodge and resist, it was too severely injured to do so and could only watch helplessly as the needles pierced its abdomen.

"What are you up to!"

Kyojuro Rengoku questioned loudly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a 'ghost' anymore. I'm a human, just like you~~"
