"Don't... give him the medicine for now."
After a pause, Akainu made the decision. "Isn't Vegapunk already researching how to mitigate the drug's effects? We still have time."
Like the Lightning Stimulation Instrument, the Omni Gene Fluid required its user to have a certain foundation before it could be used. Otherwise, it was simply a tool for killing people.
But unlike the Lightning Stimulation Instrument, which at least had an on-off switch, once the former was injected, Ron's Self-healing Cells were so overbearing that they simply could not be stopped.
Akainu's decision was not excessive.
Aokiji's body truly could not withstand any more strain.
Everyone nodded, and the matter was temporarily set aside. As Akainu had said, they still had time.
Then Ron pulled out a stack of documents and spoke under Akainu's astonished gaze.
"Additionally, after relentless effort, we have successfully cracked the coded message Admiral Aokiji left behind."
"Oh? Really?!"
Akainu shot to his feet, delight written across his face.
To decipher the numerical puzzle, the Science Unit, Assassination Unit, and several other departments had worked together. After jointly investigating it, they determined that the numbers Aokiji had left behind—"3, 6, 7"—truly had no logical interpretation.
