Luke looked at the ball, almost reduced to ashes by the flames, then at Chairman Netero, who was already pressing his palms together into a combat stance.
He couldn't help but shake his head. "So in the end, we still can't avoid this confrontation?"
"But..."
A faint smile flashed in Luke's eyes.
"Hand-to-hand combat is the least technical way to fight."
"Especially when going head-on against an Enhancer type."
"I think, aside from Enhancer-type Nen users who are willing, there really aren't many others who could accept this."
Luke flipped his hand and once again took something out.
It looked very much like a flashlight.
Meanwhile, half of the airship was already engulfed in flames.
The whole airship was swaying, on the verge of tipping and plummeting downward at any moment.
Although most people aboard were quite capable, this was still a crash.
There were also ordinary workers on board, cleaning staff, cooks, and so on.
If anything really happened, they would be the innocent victims…
...
"Put out the areas with severe fire first, then quickly find the source and get it under control!"
At this moment, Mr. Beans was drenched in sweat, with even a faint roasted bean smell coming off him.
Yet he still fully displayed the grace and capability of the Hunter Association's secretary.
He guided the black-suited staff, calmly and systematically organizing and directing everything.
"There are fire extinguishers on the airship, and with the manpower and our abilities, putting out the flames quickly isn't difficult."
"But the out-of-control fire sources..."
A trace of worry flashed in Mr. Beans' eyes.
Any fire that erupts uncontrollably like this means those machines have suffered severe damage.
To control these fire sources, the machines must be fully restored to their original state.
Or at the very least, they need to be stabilized.
But…
"The damage to these machines is truly far too severe."
Mr. Beans received a rather disheartening response from the experienced mechanic on the airship.
According to them, these machines were basically scrapped.
Even the ones still barely functioning were almost at the breaking point.
Machines like these honestly weren't worth repairing.
In the end, the senior mechanic even advised Mr. Beans to quickly prepare parachutes.
With the machinery already scrapped and fires spreading, it was only a matter of time before the airship would be forced to land.
The airship did indeed have parachutes, plenty of them.
Enough that everyone on board could have one.
Not to mention, there were many other safety measures on the ship to prevent accidents.
But even with good safety precautions, there was no guarantee that there would be no accidents.
A safe and stable landing would be the best outcome.
"It would be great if there were a Nen user here who could perform repairs."
Mr. Beans sighed. "Next time we go out, we definitely need to bring one."
Aside from the miraculous power of Nen ability, there was basically no way to restore these machines.
He frowned helplessly, thinking about how to minimize losses and danger.
But then…
Buzz!
A strange orange-red beam shot past him.
It landed directly on a machine that was almost reduced to ashes by the fire, and was declared completely to be scrapped.
In an instant, Mr. Bean's vision blurred.
Then, in just a blink… a brand-new, perfectly intact machine appeared before his eyes.
Mr. Beans: "...?"
He rubbed his eyes vigorously and forced them open wide.
The scene before him was exactly the same as what he thought he had hallucinated!
"I wasn't mistaken! I wasn't seeing things!"
Realizing this, his pupils shrank: "This machine... Really got repaired?!"
That machine had clearly been declared scrap, and now it was as good as new?!
Mr. Beans stared in a daze.
Of course, he hadn't missed the orange-red beam just now.
Before the beam hit, the machines were undeniably ruined.
But after the beam passed over them, they became like this!
There was absolutely no way it was unrelated!
"I think... That beam came from over there..."
He instinctively turned around and saw Luke holding a handheld lantern-like device.
It looked like a big megaphone, and its lens was shaped like a barrel, the whole thing glowing orange-red.
Luke's hand was pressing a green button, and the barrel lens emitted streams of orange-red light.
Casually shining them around the airship, and everything the light hit was damaged and scrapped areas!
In front of Mr. Beans' bulging eyes, the machines that were nearly destroyed were restored in an instant when bathed in that orange-red light!
"How is this possible..."
His small hands trembled, confused about where to place themselves.
Such a miraculous, incomprehensible sight was unfolding directly before him.
He couldn't understand it and was overwhelmingly shocked.
You know, even a Nen user with restoration Nen ability couldn't restore things so easily.
Yet Luke merely shone a light on them, and everything returned to before… the contrast was simply too shocking.
Even someone as well-informed as Mr. Beans was seeing such a scene for the first time.
"Pretty amazing, right?"
Luke seemed to notice his stupefied gaze.
He looked over and shook the device in his hand.
"Want to try this Restoring Beam yourself?"
Mr. Beans instinctively shook his head, but he did remember the name Luke mentioned.
"Restoring... Beam?"
His eyes fell onto the tube-shaped megaphone device in Luke's hand.
Invention: Restoring Beam
Origin: Doraemon World — Future Tech Company
Function: The recovery light it emits can restore broken objects to their original state, a must-have for families with kids. But do not use it recklessly, or it may revert manufactured items back into their raw materials.
Note: It cannot revive humans from death; it violates the laws of nature and will bring punishment.
This invention first appeared when Nobita broke the classroom's vase, and Suneo used it to threaten him.
Doraemon couldn't bear to watch any longer and brought Nobita back to the classroom, where he used the Restoring Beam to repair the vase.
Now, aboard the nearly scrapped airship, Luke had taken out this invention.
Just by the name alone, its effect was clear at a glance.
Buzzz!
Wherever the orange-red ray shone, everything was repaired completely, restored to its original form!
Not only did all the machinery and equipment resume proper function, but even the glass previously shattered by Chairman Netero's attack, and all the surrounding ceiling, floor, and walls damaged by explosions, all of it was fully repaired under the recovery light of the Restoring Beam!
