It was a white world.
She did not know where she was, nor did she seem to have any consciousness of her own, but felt herself immersed in an opalescent halo, unaware of the passage of time.
As if a moment had passed, and as if a long time had passed, the milky halo that enveloped her suddenly flourished for an instant and then began to spread out in all directions.
As she lay curled up, she sat up slowly, rubbed her eyes, and found herself sitting in the middle of a huge flower with white clouds beneath its petals.
In a daze.
She heard a voice, and it was holy.
"From today on, your name is Pudding."
"My name is … Pudding …"
She felt that the name' Pudding 'was strangely sweet as if it had been her birthright.
And at this moment, she saw a figure in the front, deep in the white cloud and that figure instantly occupied all her memory.
…
The Secret base.
Inside The Laboratory.
Laffitte looked at Pudding who was still in a coma, his eyes twitched slightly, and he said to Law: "You mean, that's all that's left of her memory?!"
"Yes."
Law nodded.
Laffitte rubbed his eyebrows, feeling a slight headache coming in and said, "It's too much of a mess. If you do that, there's a good chance you'll turn her into an idiot!"
"Is it?"
Ross came out of the next room, touched his chin, and said, "Did I make a rash decision?"
Laffitte thought it was Law who made the proposal, but it was Ross who made the decision. His expression suddenly became a little stiff, and he reached out and said, "There is still a possibility that everything will be ok. After all, it is the Devil Fruit power, not the loss of all memory. "
When it comes to the mind, Laffitte is certainly an expert among experts. He can actually hypnotize a person into forgetting something.
But he wasn't able to hypnotize Pudding because of her dual personality.
"Ok."
Ross nodded, said: "If something goes wrong, just put Pudding out of the coma, the Memo Memo no Mi's abilities may fail."
There are not many Devil Fruit abilities in this world. Most Devil Fruit abilities will fail when the ability user is unconscious, such as Hobi Hobi no Mi of Sugar.
The Perpetual Youth Devil Fruit ability of the Ope Ope no Mi can be regarded as one of the exceptions. Neither the Perpetual Youth Surgery nor the removal of the heart will be invalid due to Law's coma or death.
But.
In Ross's opinion, the Memo Memo no Mi capability will not fade away just because its user is unconscious as Pudding is now in a coma.
While Ross was communicating with Laffitte and others, Pudding's eyelashes twitched slightly and she slowly opened her eyes and woke up.
"What is this place..."
She looked around blankly. When she saw Ross, there was a flash of light in her eyes, but then there was a hint of hesitation and confusion.
She is already feeling as if something is wrong.
"What's up with her?"
Ross and others have long noticed Pudding's wakefulness, and seeing Pudding's blankness, Ross asks Laffitte.
Laffitte stepped in front of Pudding and stared at her twice, thoughtfully: "It should be that the memory changes were too much, which makes her feel that her memories are false and unreal but she can't remember more stuff, so I'm lost. "
As he spoke, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If it's like this, it's easy …"
Ross looked at Laffitte. "It doesn't look too bad."
Laffitte smiled while spinning his red wooden cane and said: "It can be said that this is one of the best situations, and her dual personality must have been washed away."
As he spoke, he rotated the red wooden cane in front of Pudding and soon put Pudding into a state of complete obsession.
…
Three days later.
Under Laffitte's multiple hypnotic piles of washing, the new Pudding is finally released and because the Memo Memo no Mi has washed away all of her memories and her dual personalities, her current transformation is more perfect than all previous deep hypnosis done by Laffitte.
With a normal thinking process and absolute obedience to Ross, no matter what instructions Ross issues, she will not hesitate to complete it.
Moreover.
Law also used Ope Ope no Mi's ability to remove her third eyebrow allowing her to look exactly like a normal human, without having to cover her forehead with her hair again.
After two days of the trial period, Ross was satisfied with Pudding and made her another special member after Sugar.
…
Secret base.
Inside the Laboratory.
Katakuri's cage was opened, and Katakuri in Seastone shackles was lying unconscious on the cold ground.
Pudding tried several times to extract Katakuri's memory, but even if Katakuri was knocked out by Ross, she still couldn't extract Katakuri's memory.
"Can't draw?"
Ross looked at Katakuri, who was unconscious, with a thoughtful look.
He didn't worry about what Pudding thought when she saw her pictures in Katakuri's memory. Now, Pudding is not only washed by the Memo Memo no Mi's ability, but also by Laffitte's most perfect deep hypnosis so far and there is almost no possibility of her betraying them.
But.
For someone who is able to use Future Prediction and have the top-level of Observation Haki, Katakuri's mental strength is undoubtedly top of the sea.
"What if we weaken Katakuri's vitality to the utmost limit?"
Ross turned to look at Law and asked.
Law shook his head and said, "In that case, he may collapse directly."
Ross asked: "Will he die directly?"
"Yes."
Law nodded.
Katakuri is now in a state of imprisonment and they can make him unconscious and they can naturally suppress his vitality to the limit so that he does not have the slightest resistance.
But if they forcibly use the Memo Memo no Mi's ability to extract his memory, there is a great possibility that it will cause a direct psychological breakdown. In that case, Katakuri's body will die directly!
"…"
Hearing Law's words, Ross fell into deep thoughts.
Soul exchange can only be done between living people and has no effect on dead people.
Gekko Moria's shadow fruit is capable of acting upon the dead, but the zombies created by that ability have too many side effects, such as being restrained by salt, etc., and their battle force will be limited and they wouldn't be able to use their Devil Fruit ability.
"What about your mind exchange technique?"
Ross thought for a moment and asked Law.
Law glanced at Katakuri who was unconscious and said, "I can use my abilities on him while he is in this state, but no one can bear Katakuri's power right now."
Katakuri is Head of the Four Sweet Commanders.
To fully exert Katakuri's power, the soul that is exchanged inside Katakuri has to be very strong, almost as strong as Katakuri.
If only 70% to 80% of the strength is required to be exerted, then the requirements can be reduced, but it also needs to be second only to the strength of the soul of the Four Sweet Commanders. The only qualified people are Laffitte and Law, and they obviously will not use Katakuri's body.
"Wait."
Ross thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "Let's hold the mind exchange technique until we find the Soru Soru no Mi, we may be able to solve this problem then."
