The most terrifying thing about Titans was that nothing except the Thunder Stone could kill them.
They had none of the vital points or weaknesses ordinary creatures possessed. They did not even have a single organ that gave orders; every cell could function as an independent being.
Even cutting them to pieces and grinding them into pulp merely changed the form their lives took.
Given enough food, they could regenerate and multiply without end, never vanishing.
Loa did not know whether Titans truly were the source of all life in the world of One Piece. He only knew that the Bibi family had made a colossal mistake!
They must have destroyed the enormous creature in the diagram with a Lightning Crystal—no, with what should now be called a Thunder Stone.
But they had boldly kept a piece of Titan tissue to study, hoping to trace the origins of life.
Their goal was worthy of respect.
Their methods and the results were sickening.
They had unleashed countless experimental Blood Marrow Worms into the sea to seek out test subjects, and now their actions had left not one living person on Ian Island.
"So what's inside this box?"
Shanks had told his story in exchange for information. Now it was Loa's turn. Shanks picked up the box, looked it over, then held it to his ear and shook it.
Clink!
A key made of ice landed on the ice table before him. He looked up at Loa's strange expression, baffled.
Loa's mouth twitched. "Open it and see."
For some reason, Shanks suddenly had a bad feeling.
He snatched up the key and unlocked the Seastone Lock on the box.
Click!
When Shanks saw what was inside, his stomach dropped.
It was the Source of Life and a Thunder Stone!
