Chapter 11 - Chapter 11: Ginny

After hearing the woman say her name, Benimaru suddenly remembered who Ginny is, as he was the mother of Jewelry Bonney, she was kidnapped by a Celestial Dragon and forcibly became his wife, where he became pregnant with Bonney, he also remembered that she would die immediately after reaching the Sorbey Island, she was also pregnant at this time as she was already released from slavery.

'Let's see, if I do this right, I can make the sapphire scales be Ginny's strength instead of weakness, possibly making her control it and use it similar to the devil fruit of Jozu from Whitebeard Pirates,' Benimaru thought, as he was watching Ginny eat.

"So, who are you?" Ginny asked Benimaru while eating, as she noticed the stares of Benimaru, she also got curious.

"My name is Shinmon D. Benimaru," Benimaru introduced himself with his full name.

Ginny, who heard Benimaru's name, suddenly stopped eating. She just looked at Benimaru, she was staring at Benimaru's face as if she were trying to find something. The stare was noticed by Law, Wolf, and Benimaru, as they were confused by what was happening.

"You poor child, I bet it's still haunting you, isn't it?" Ginny suddenly said, with a tone that offered condolences.

"What are you talking about?" Law then asked, with Wolf also curious, but Benimaru just did not say anything, he was ready for the truth to come out, it's not even something that he was trying to hide.

"Ohhh, he didn't say anything? Then it's not my place to say anything," Ginny, who suddenly realized Benimaru did not say anything towards the two, did not continue.

"Say anything about what?" Law asked, wanting to know what was going on, while Wolf just stayed silent,

"I'm a son of between a Slave and a Celestial, not just any Celestial, I'm a son of one of the 5 elders, the 5 highest ranking members of Celestial Dragons," Benimaru suddenly said, this revelation shocked surprised both Law and Wolf as they know that Benimaru should be a previous slave as he did not want to talk about his past, but only thought that he became slave due to his unnatural strength at a young age.

"Is that why you did not want to talk about your past?" Law said sympathetically as Benimaru is not the only one that have sad past.

"No, that's not the worst part. I was involved in an experiment that modified myself, I'm a pure human, but the man that should technically be my father rewrote my DNA to have traits from a certain tribe that have incredible strength, but when he saw that I'm not exhibiting any traits, he thought of me as a failure so he infected me with a sickness and tossed me in the ocean thinking that i would die, like Ginny, but as you know i survived," Benimaru then told his full story, as this was the first time he ever said it out loud, despite not caring, as soon as he finished, an invincible weight suddenly got lifted out of him, making him breath a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, Law and Wolf just stayed silent, with Law and Wolf not knowing what to say, Ginny, on the other hand, did not offer anything to say.

"Speaking of, how did you know me? I don't remember someone being with the lab with me," Benimaru then asked, curious how Ginny knew him, all of his memories reminded him that he was alone.

"I was infected from the serum experiment that was tested on you; it was the one that gave me the disease," Ginny explained, as she continued eating, Benimaru then asked Wolf and Law to procure more food for Ginny as her immune system is overcharged and needed extra energy that she can have to at least fight off against the Sapphire Scale Disease, when Ginny heard that she is getting more food, she became excited as as she kept cheering as if nothing was wrong.

"You're unusually jolly for someone suffering from a deadly disease," Law said as he noticed that Ginny was happy, unlike his mood when he was sick.

"I don't even know what is happening, but I was not experiencing any pain in my body, and that's put me in a good mood," Ginny said, as she explained why she is jolly.

"Ohhh, after I amplified your immune system, I also amplified your pituitary gland and hypothalamus to release more endorphins to relieve your pain, that's also why you're in such a good mood," Benimaru then answered, as he was the one responsible for the sudden shift in Ginny's mood.

Benimaru then left Ginny in the care of Law and Wolf, as he wanted to study the Sapphire Scales further, possibly to recreate them as functional armor rather than just a disease. To accelerate his work, Benimaru amplified his brain function by 10,000 times.

The moment his cognitive enhancement took effect, Benimaru began working. He started by analyzing the genetic material from a blood sample he had obtained from Ginny. Using molecular genetic testing, chromosomal analysis, and genome sequencing, he examined the abnormalities in her body.

From what he discovered, the Sapphire Scales were deeply embedded in Ginny's genetic structure. It appeared that what Saturn had done was integrate the scales into her entire genome, making them an intrinsic part of her biology.

With this new understanding, Benimaru knew exactly which direction to take. He decided to build a machine with functionality similar to CRISPR. The goal was to identify and target the specific DNA sequences in Ginny's body that had been damaged by the Sapphire Scales virus.

The machine would generate a guide RNA tailored to the damaged sequence, which would then pair with a Cas9 enzyme, acting as molecular scissors, to cut the DNA at the target site. This precision tool would allow Benimaru to remove or correct the harmful genetic material.

Knowing that Ginny had originally been given only a few months to live, Benimaru had already extended her life by enhancing her immune system. Thanks to his intervention, she now had at least five more years, so long as she maintained a diet rich in nutrients to support her enhanced immunity.

Wasting no time, Benimaru gathered several pieces of lab equipment with functions similar to what he needed. He modified them to suit his task, and within just three hours, the machine was complete.

With the device operational, Benimaru proceeded with his plan. He generated multiple possible combinations of genetic code, using Ginny's healthy genes as a reference. Once the most viable sequence was selected, he enhanced the purity of the synthetic DNA to boost protein synthesis efficiency.

Finally, he placed the completed gene solution into a vial, creating multiple copies in preparation for the treatment.
