Muzan Kibutsuji's Proposal!
Upon hearing Muzan Kibutsuji claim that he was human.
Both Kyojuro Rengoku and Sanemi Shinazugawa stood there, mouths agape, unsure how to respond.
However, as their bodies began to warm up, and especially as the punctured wounds began to itch unbearably, they disregarded their complicated feelings and quickly looked down to check their injuries.
"This is."
The two were shocked to see that the many bloody holes on their bodies were healing at an incredible speed, and their faces and lips, which had turned pale from excessive blood loss, were visibly regaining their rosy color.
This is Muzan Kibutsuji's current powerful ability.
Having already acquired sufficient biological and medical knowledge, he combined it with his cellular-level control and the X-ray vision ability of the Glint-Glint Fruit.
Not only has he become more efficient and clean in killing, but he also far surpasses most doctors and medical equipment in saving lives. Theoretically, even if someone loses their head in front of him, he can put it back in if he wants to.
There is a premise here as well.
That is, the 'patient' cannot resist or obstruct the control over his entire body.
For example, those who have mastered the Life Return technique can, to some extent, prevent Muzan Kibutsuji doing whatever he wants, or even committing atrocities, within their bodies.
As for how effective it will be, that depends on the level of expertise in Life Return.
Of course, the best way is to prevent Muzan Kibutsuji's biological tissue from invading his body, such as through Armament Haki or some kind of armor.
Therefore, his abilities aren't actually invincible; he's more like a 'first-meet kill' type.
"Given your injuries just now, I believe you wouldn't have survived long without me. So, I've saved you twice. Now, can we have a proper chat?"
Muzan Kibutsuji, dressed in a neat black suit, maintained a seemingly gentle smile.
Thank you very much.
In the end, it was the more mature Kyojuro Rengoku stood up and answered, "However, we can actually choose to abstain, and someone will naturally take us to the hospital ship then."
As he spoke, he raised his wrist and showed Muzan a wristband with a red button on it.
He meant that it's best to count the debt of saving a life as a favor once.
"But judging from his eyes, he doesn't seem like he'd forfeit."
Muzan Kibutsuji glanced at the expressionless Sanemi Shinazugawa and chuckled, "The Top 10, they must be very important to you, right?"
These words made the latter's eyes flicker.
"Uh--indeed." Kyojuro Rengoku shook his head helplessly and said, "Alright, what do you want to talk about? I also want to know why you saved us?"
"Hehehe, actually I already said that I hope we people from the same world can stick together."
Muzan Kibutsuji touched his collar and spoke up about a thought that had been lingering in his mind for some time, "I've already looked into it. The World Government opens a Star Gate connecting to other worlds every year."
"In other words, every year in the future, a group of people from Otherworld, like us, may come to the Sea Star, and over time, they will inevitably form groups and factions of all sizes."
"In that case, why don't we take advantage of our time and unite as soon as possible?"
At this moment, Sanemi Shinazugawa looked at him coldly and asked, "Since you're forming a group, there must be a center, that is, a leader. I don't think you're willing to serve 'Ubuyashiki' as your lord like we are!"
"Of course, the Ubuyashiki can only be considered my descendants. How can an ancestor serve his descendants as his master?"
Muzan Kibutsuji asked in return with a puzzled look.
"Moreover, whether it's in terms of strength or my position in the World Government, I am the most suitable person to be the leader. Can you find someone more suitable?"
Sanemi Shinazugawa was speechless, his face grim. Kyojuro Rengoku, standing beside him, remained silent for a moment before asking, "Even if we unite, what's the use?"
Sanemi Shinazugawa then asked, "What do you want us to do for you?"
"Since it's a collaboration, we should naturally help each other. The simplest way is to share information. We're in different departments, and this will benefit everyone."
Muzan Kibutsuji chuckled, first glancing at the few surveillance Den Den Mushi on the distant tree branches. After confirming that there were no outsiders within a few hundred meters, he uttered words that left the two speechless.
"Furthermore, I can bring your total cell count to the level of Sea Star Person, and make you exceptionally gifted Sea Star Person!"
"Wh-what?"
"How is this possible!"
Looking at their fascinating expressions, Muzan Kibutsuji pursed his lips and spoke softly without moving his lips much.
"I not only participated in the entire research and development of the 'Perfect Type I Cell Strengthening Serum,' but I even provided the core materials, which were Lineage Factor. As long as I collect your Lineage Factor, I can manufacture it at any time."
"Besides, I can also replicate the 'Nue' form of the Kabane Virus, but it's best not to use it until you've mastered 'Life Return,' unless you enjoy living with your necks choked."
Sanemi Shinazugawa finally came to his senses and hurriedly asked, "So you can increase the total number of our cells, and even increase every single 'Demon Slayer People'!"
"That's right, this is the benefit of you all acknowledging me as your leader, isn't it?"
Muzan Kibutsuji's lips curled up slightly, looking somewhat smug.
It must be said that Sanemi Shinazugawa was already tempted, but the thought that the other party was a 'Man-Eating Demon' and the 'Progenitor of Demons' made him feel conflicted and resistant.
Muzan Kibutsuji, possessing the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit, naturally saw through his thoughts.
"I'll say it again, I'm no longer a 'demon,' I'm a human, and moreover, the ancestor of the Ubuyashiki family. I've said my piece. You can go back and discuss this with the others."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to leave, when he heard Kyojuro Rengoku's voice behind him.
"If we refuse, what are your plans?"
"Not so great. In our world, there are still plenty of people. If you're not willing, someone else will be. But I can guarantee that their growth rate will be much faster than yours."
[Whoosh!]
As soon as he finished speaking, Muzan Kibutsuji vanished from the spot.
Only Sanemi Shinazugawa and Kyojuro Rengoku remained, standing there hesitant and lost in thought.
Because the monitoring Den Den Mushi cannot transmit sound, not a single word of their conversation could be heard, even by the viewers who were constantly watching.
At the same time.
On the East Blue battlefield, Giyu Tomioka and Muichiro Tokito, both former Water Hashira and Mist Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps, also encountered trouble.
The scenery on the beach at night is actually quite beautiful.
The moonlight shining on the waves created a shimmering visual effect, giving the impression that every Flower Capital of water was radiating silver light.
However, the tense standoff between the three people in the room created a very serious and oppressive atmosphere.
"I never expected that anyone would share the same thoughts as me."
It was about thirty meters away from the two of them.
Standing there was a young man with blond hair and blue eyes, holding a long sword with a black sheath, wearing a black suit, black leather boots, a white shirt and a black tie.
"My name is Morgan William. May I ask if there is any possibility of cooperation between us?"
His tone was kind and approachable, and his manner was polite and courteous.
Rather than being competitors vying for a spot in the top 100, they are more like those who have come to fight and compete.
He's more like a well-mannered aristocratic gentleman.
