Chapter 116: Wash-Wash Fruit
A shocking scene unfolds in a factory with seven conveyor belts. Men and women work on removing the protective membranes from the hearts of Kabane's corpses. Around him, army soldiers are carefully monitoring the situation.
This was originally a factory used by Iwato Station to repair steam guns and small steam boilers, but now it has become a processing factory for Kabane's heart membranes.
It can also be regarded as an experimental project of the World Government.
After Crocodile and his elite army cleared Iwato Station of the Kabane, they accumulated a large number of corpses around this factory. Then they hired local survivors to work on it.
It is important to mention that the army did not force anyone. They just showed a notice to everyone.
The notice said that by removing a membrane, one would earn a thousand berries, which could be used to buy more bread, milk, canned meat, and medicine to treat minor injuries.
