However, Vegapunk, who had been directly involved in weapons research, had realized their terror early on. He grew increasingly worried that once Totto Land's military strength increased further, war would break out again. If he had not been so reluctant to abandon the Human Gigantification project, which interested him greatly and for which it was difficult to find another sucker willing to invest, the world's greatest scientist might already have fled Totto Land.
It should be noted that although the cause of Charlotte Linlin's Food Addiction had greatly disappointed Mousse, Vegapunk still strongly advocated further research based on the drug that enlarged children's bodies. After all, aside from PYROBROIN, it was the only known method capable of significantly increasing a living creature's size.
Although its side effects were extremely severe, as the saying went, "Talking toxicity without considering dosage is just playing dirty." As long as the dosage remained safe, even poison was not necessarily unusable. Naturally, a smaller dose would reduce the effect, but if increasing one's size fivefold or tenfold counted as gigantification, then did doubling it not count as gigantification?
As long as it had some effect, it would make Charlotte Linlin somewhat happy. Besides, with an unprecedented scientific genius like Vegapunk around, and with Charlotte Mousse himself constantly narrowing the gap between them, who could say that drug could not be improved?
For example, by enhancing its effects or reducing its side effects?
While working to improve the Giant Medicine, Mousse also began research along another route: finding a way to enrich the PYROBROIN in seawater.
This should have been an almost impossible task. Not only was PYROBROIN highly soluble in water, but it also displayed a peculiar "azeotropic" phenomenon. When water evaporated or boiled, PYROBROIN would vaporize along with the steam in a manner similar
