555 Red Demon Virus

During the battle, Queen's massive body was exceptionally agile, suppressing CP0, who was fighting him.

Suddenly, a glint flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sneer. His fist, which he had thrown out, transformed into a three-finger mechanical claw.

Caught off guard, the CP0 player's body was directly grabbed by Queen's Haki -wrapped claws.

Struggling to resist.

His pupils shrank, his body stiffened, and out of sight of others, a steel needle extended from the center of Queen's Mechanical Claw, imbued with Haki, and pierced directly into the body of this CP0 member.

An unidentified red liquid was injected directly into his body through the needle.

"Ho ho ho! This is a super-strong dose of the Red Demon Virus. It will take effect immediately and spread throughout the body within ten seconds. This is the first time I've had such a powerful test subject. Let me see how effective it is!"

Queen laughed excitedly, a mad glint in his eyes behind his sunglasses, anticipating the CP0 in his hand. The immense power made it impossible for the CP0 to break free.

As a precaution, Queen also had a mechanical incision in his arm, through which a highly effective anesthetic was injected directly into the CP0's body.

The powerful anesthetic greatly reduced his resistance.

The situation here has attracted a lot of attention, and some people are already planning to rescue this CP0 member. Losing a high-level combatant would put them at a great disadvantage, and Queen doesn't seem to have lost much energy.

As Queen finished speaking, CP0's body changed, and a scorching aura spread through his body, quickly reaching his entire body.

This caused him great pain; he felt as if flames were burning inside his body, and his whole body was burning hot.

This CP0 member's body also changed; his skin turned bright red, and although he was still wearing a mask, his overall appearance had become like a red demon.

"This is the Red Demon Virus I've researched, my current masterpiece, the ultimate upgraded version of the Mummy Virus. It makes you unable to control your body's urge to fight, and your stamina and endurance will be consumed tenfold or even dozens of times faster."

"Your body will bleed continuously, and the rate of bleeding will increase as the battle intensifies. Eventually, you will bleed to death, exhausted, and become as withered as a mummy."

"It's a pity, though, that the Ice Demon is still in the experimental stage, otherwise you could try both." Queen's description was terrifying; the Red Mummy Virus Red Demon Virus, and its effects were even more powerful.

It utilizes Lineage Factor technology, giving the virus a life of its own, which can cause the host to lose control of its body and continuously fight and kill.

Another masterpiece that pleased him was the Ice Demon virus, but it was not yet finished.

"Go!" Queen shoved the CP0 member away with force, sending him flying far off.

The Red Demon Virus can be transmitted through physical contact, and no one knows its danger better than its creator. Fortunately, Queen uses Mechanical Claw, but Queen still disinfects it immediately.

"Are you alright?" The two marines caught the CP0 officer.

Suddenly, however, the CP0 member's two Shigan pierced through their bodies, catching them off guard and severely injuring them.

If this CP0 member hadn't changed his attack position at the last minute, these two Marines would have been killed instantly given his immense strength.

"What are you doing?" a navy officer shouted from a distance, his gaze fixed on CP0 with hostility.

"I'm sorry, I can't control my body. Please get away from me." CP0 said, enduring immense pain. His body moved stiffly, showing that he was struggling to control himself.

Upon hearing CP0's words, the two marines immediately moved away from him, not doubting what CP0 said.

"Oh no, what's going on?"

Their expressions turned pained, and the wounds on their bodies turned bright red, spreading rapidly throughout their bodies. The virus had begun to spread through the wounds.

Wherever they went, their bodies turned into red demons.

They didn't have the same strong will and physical control as CP0, and soon lost control of their bodies.

Armed with their weapons, the two marines, now transformed into red devils, approached their nearest comrade and began to fight.

"Please help me, I can't control my body!"

"I'm going to die!"

The battle ended quickly. A navy officer was killed, dying at the hands of his own comrade, a look of relief flashing in his eyes.

As he died, his body gradually returned to its original state. This virus can only survive in living organisms; once the host dies, they will also die.

"Kill me," the navy man pleaded, tears streaming down his face.

While enduring immense physical pain, he also had to watch helplessly as his companions died at his hands. The physical and psychological torment made him wish he could die immediately.

"This is wonderful." Queen laughed. Without the restrictions of CP0, the Red Demon Virus serum extended from his Mechanical Claw. He quickly approached and grabbed the Marines one by one, injected them with the virus, and then threw them into the Marine camp in the distance, letting them kill each other.

"Don't touch them, or you'll get infected." After a few incidents, the Navy figured out how the Red Devil Potion was triggered.

But they had no solution. The only solution was to release them. These were Sakazuki's soldiers, who decisively killed their comrades who had turned into red demons to prevent them from killing each other.

The process was extremely painful, forcing them to kill their own companions and instilling fear in those watching the live stream. It was a virus, contagious, and its effects were terrifying; even the powerful CP0 couldn't resist it and could only try to control their own bodies.

If they don't kill them, they will suffer even greater pain.

This CP0 member has become a blood-soaked figure, with blood constantly flowing from his body. As the blood is lost, his body is gradually collapsing.

He was trying to control his body, which he couldn't control.

Did you think that was the end of it?

Soon, a large number of spherical weapons were launched from the Steel Fortress like cannonballs.

Landing far behind the navy, a navy officer saw this and sliced a sphere in two with his sword. Red smoke then drifted from the two halves of the sphere and touched his body, making it impossible for him to dodge.

"No!" In a short time, the navy officer felt something was wrong with his body, and a look of terror flashed in his eyes. He realized what was about to happen to him.

"Run! Get away from those shells!" a sailor shouted, but it was too late.

A large number of spherical weapons rained down from the sky, exploding upon impact with the ground, filling the air with red smoke, and many naval personnel came into contact with the red smoke.

Soon, he felt extremely hot and painful all over. As the virus spread, his body quickly turned into a red, devilish shape.

This is Red Demon Smoke bomb, essentially an application of the Red Demon Virus.

The spreading red smoke was filled with the Red Demon Virus. Due to the characteristics of the Red Demon Virus, it would die very quickly if it were not inside a human body, in about five seconds.

The visible red smoke continued to dissipate into the air, but that was enough in the densely populated battlefield.

Utilizing Lineage Factor technology, the Red Demon Virus is alive, or rather, possesses a survival instinct, an instinctive craving for life. Therefore, the smoke moves rapidly, and its fast spread makes it impossible for many marines to avoid.

These marines lacked the physique and willpower of CP0 and were quickly controlled by the Red Demon Virus, unable to control their bodies and fight their comrades.

Furthermore, the virus can be transmitted through contact, and the number of navy personnel turning into "red devils" is actually increasing.

Chaos reigned, the war continued, and the Navy's rear was thrown into disarray. Driven mad by the Red Demon Virus created by Queen, the Navy was suddenly attacked from both sides, and many Navy personnel were killed in a short period of time.

Meanwhile, near the Steel Fortress, snipers from the Beasts Pirates were firing bullets filled with the Red Demon Virus, hitting the Marines who were still fighting.

Bullets and smoke are essentially no different; they are just used in different ways. Smoke has a wider range, while bullets are more targeted.

The only difference is the concentration. The stronger the person, the slower the Red Demon Virus takes effect. A high-concentration liquid can accelerate the spread and action of the virus in the body, which is why it can be used against powerful enemies.

Just like that CP0, Queen injected him with a liquid containing the Red Demon Virus, which took effect in a short time. This shows that there are very few people on the sea who can resist Queen's Red Devil potion.

This is an extremely dangerous biological weapon; I never imagined that Queen would develop such a terrifying thing.

"Hohohoho! This is my perfect masterpiece." Looking at the chaotic navy, Queen laughed loudly, took out a machine gun, and fired a large number of bullets containing the Red Demon Virus, sweeping towards the navy in the distance.

To avoid being caught in the crossfire, the members of the Beasts Pirates had already retreated.

After all, the Red Demon Virus cannot distinguish between friend and foe; if one person is infected and it is not dealt with quickly, many others will suffer.

The Beasts Pirates, atop the Steel Fortress, not only used viral weapons but also picked up various military weapons, sweeping across the distance.

Affected by the Red Demon Virus, their bodies are suffering immense pain, their reaction speed is greatly slowed down, and they can't even use Observation Haki or Armament Haki. They simply can't control their bodies.

Without Armament Haki, many marines couldn't even stop ordinary bullets, and many of their lives ended that way.

The moment the Beasts Pirates unleashed their Red Demon Virus weapon, the previously evenly matched battle situation shifted dramatically.

The Navy is besieged on all sides, and the Red Demon Virus is contagious, making it impossible for some Navy personnel to kill their own comrades. Another reason is that there are many members who have turned into Red Devils, and the Beasts Pirates have not stopped launching Red Demon Smoke bombs.

They haven't even died many times at the hands of the Beasts Pirates, and now they're going to die at the hands of their own people.

Moreover, the navy that has turned into red devils can basically be declared dead, and the navy currently has no ability to deal with it, and such numbers are rapidly increasing.

Panic spread through the naval ranks.

At this moment, a seven-colored light spread outwards, as if a mysterious power was sweeping over each of the marines, cleansing everything.

The panic was instantly washed away and dispelled.

At the same time, the navy personnel who had lost control of their bodies stopped moving. Under the gaze of countless people, their red demon-like forms slowly returned to normal, and the pain in their bodies vanished instantly.

Tears of emotion streamed down his face, as if he had been reborn.

A wave of weakness followed, and he staggered, unable to stand steadily. The Red Demon Virus had a tremendous impact on his body and depleted his physical strength, especially the loss of blood, which required a considerable amount of time to recover.

"Don't panic!" Staff Officer He stepped forward like a savior and said calmly.

The one who just made a move was Tsuru. The power of the Wash-Wash Fruit can even cleanse the mind, and it is naturally effective against viruses as well. Having obtained the Wash-Wash Fruit for decades, Tsuru has developed its mastery of the Wash-Wash Fruit to a terrifying degree.

The terrifying Red Demon Virus was directly wiped out by Crane's abilities.

Queen's face darkened; his work had been erased just like that. "Keep going! Don't stop!"

Although the Red Demon Virus has been resolved, its effects will not disappear. Many marines have died as a result, and those who were infected with the Red Demon Virus have suffered a significant loss of strength, with many having lost their combat capability.

Moreover, using such a wide range of abilities would be extremely taxing on the body, and how many times could Crane use it? Besides, Crane is already sixty-four years old.

He doesn't have Garp's powerful physique to maintain peak condition for a long time. Now, Tsuru's physique and stamina have both declined significantly.

Meanwhile, Tsuru had already given the order to retreat. Just as Queen had thought, Tsuru knew that she couldn't possibly use such a wide-range Devil Fruit ability a few more times with her own strength.

The war cannot continue until the Beasts Pirates' biological weapons are dealt with.

The CP0 member has survived by sheer luck, but he has lost at least half of his fighting strength. The loss of blood and the damage to his body cannot be recovered in a short time simply by eating some food.

Continuing the fight will only increase their losses.

As a staff officer, she represented rationality and also had the task of supervising the battle. She needed to consider the overall casualties and results of the navy, so she decisively issued the order to retreat.

This battle will not last long, but it will not be short either. Today is only the first battle, and there is nothing wrong with retreating.

Seeing this, Sakazuki, as the commander, glared at Jin, turned and left. As the Marine Chief of Staff, Tsuru's orders were one level higher than his on the battlefield. Sakazuki wasn't ignorant of the bigger picture; he had naturally noticed the effects of the Beasts Pirates' bio-virus.

The other Marine General disengaged from the battle, providing cover for the retreat of the rest of the navy. A torrent of scorching lava formed a river, blocking the path of the many Beasts Pirates members and preventing them from continuing their pursuit.

Soon, the Navy had mostly withdrawn, except for Kaido and Garp, who were still fighting, or rather, warming up.

In this first battle, the Beasts Pirates clearly had the upper hand. What subsequently made them famous worldwide was the Red Demon Virus created by Queen, an absolutely dangerous biological weapon.

If it weren't for Staff Officer Tsuru, the navy wouldn't have been able to retreat so easily and would have suffered a crushing defeat.
