Chapter 135: Chapter 136: The Secrets of the Washuu Clan!
Jotaro half-squatted down, grabbed Arima by the collar in one hand, slightly lifting him up. His gaze was like a torch, intensely staring at the other.
"The secrets of the Washuu family? Why do you know about it?"
Those involved are confused; bystanders see clearly.
The Washuu family has controlled the CCG for over a hundred years, and outsiders find it hard to detect anything unusual.
Jotaro, as an outsider, was able to dig out the abnormalities in the Washuu clan in a short time.
If he had been born into this twisted world, he might have gotten used to it.
It was precisely because of this that there was no shortage of smart people in the CCG, yet they were all kept in the dark.
The Washuu clan, as the controllers of the CCG, sent large numbers of talented individuals into the CCG every year.
Investigators trained by the Garden were not ordinary people, each of them basically operated on the front lines of exterminating ghouls.
Having made such great contributions to humanity, how could ordinary people ever suspect them?
But Kishou Arima realized this point.
If it wasn't because he was exceptionally intelligent, then it meant, he was originally from the Washuu clan.
"Could it be that you yourself are a member of the Washuu family?"
Before Arima could reply, a cute girl with short pink hair from the Zero Squad shouted angrily, "Beast! Let go of your hand!"
Jotaro's act of grabbing Arima by the collar was seen as disrespectful.
As a fanatical admirer of Arima, Ihei Hairu could not tolerate it. Her fair hand holding the Quinque was already trembling slightly.
Seeing that Jotaro ignored her, she gritted her teeth. Her graceful body moved and vanished from her original spot.
Her momentum clearly showed she wanted to cut off Jotaro's head.
"Stop!"
Arima's cold eyes flashed as he shouted to stop her.
Even if Hairu was unhappy with Jotaro, she wouldn't disobey Arima's order. Her delicate body in midair paused, intending to stop.
But Star Platinum's fist had already smashed into her face.
"ORA!"
That fair and soft face turned hideous instantly.
Hairu's body flipped repeatedly, slammed into the wall of the sewer, rolled her eyes, and directly passed out.
"Speak, quickly!"
Jotaro didn't even glance at her, forcing Arima again.
He had no time to waste here!
Hairu was Arima's acquaintance, but after she lost consciousness, not only did Arima show no blame, instead, a look of admiration appeared in his eyes.
Only such powerful strength could achieve his ambition.
And Jotaro, before hurting someone, showed no hesitation in his eyes, just the same coldness as always.
This meant he had already made the resolution to bear any consequences.
Such a person would never be confused.
Arima smiled bitterly in his heart. Unlike himself, Jotaro was more suited to take the throne and lead humans and ghouls toward peaceful coexistence.
To Jotaro's questioning, he replied in a deep voice, "That's right, I am a member of the Washuu family."
Jotaro carefully observed Arima and said flatly, "According to what I know, the Washuu family should be ghouls. Why are you human?"
To those who didn't understand, this kind of news was utterly shocking.
Irimi Kaya's expression changed instantly.
'The ones in control of the CCG are ghouls?'
She couldn't believe that the ones who had been suppressing ghouls all along were actually ghouls themselves.
Arima answered, "The Washuu clan originated from the Middle East and are ghouls with extremely pure ghoul bloodlines."
"Due to prolonged mutual ghoul consumption, members of the Washuu family are born as Kakuja."
Jotaro understood that the Kakuja form of ghouls was very powerful. Ghouls with that form were generally SS-class and above.
"To be born as a Kakuja is already an extremely superior bloodline, but they were still not satisfied."
Hearing this, Jotaro frowned. 'Could there be a form even stronger than Kakuja?'
He recalled Shinobu's research. According to her analysis, Rc cells had immense potential. Besides fast regeneration, they could also be shaped by the user's will.
With that kind of ability, creating an even stronger form was not impossible.
However, that wasn't what Arima meant. He continued, "The Washuu clan discovered that humans and ghouls could have offspring, and those offspring were far superior to their parents in abilities."
Jotaro wasn't surprised. He had long known that the human body also contained Rc cells. The possibility that ghouls and humans were the same species was very high.
It's just that the idea of humans and ghouls producing offspring, he had never considered it.
Hearing it for the first time felt a bit novel. But thinking about it carefully, it wasn't that strange. After all, humans and ghouls had no reproductive isolation, and both were intelligent beings rich in emotion. Under the drive of love, their union was much more plausible than, say, humans and lizards.
Under Arima's explanation, Jotaro understood.
"So, you are a child of a human and a ghoul."
Arima slightly nodded. "The offspring of humans and ghouls include half-humans like me, who have extremely short lifespans, and also half-ghouls."
"Half-ghouls have no bodily flaws, but the chances of their birth are extremely low. Most are still half-humans like me."
"The appearance of half-humans led the Washuu clan to divide into two branches, the main family are pure-blooded ghouls, while the branch family is made up of half-humans like us."
Irimi Kaya was already stunned. "There are many people like you?"
Just one Kishou Arima made them ghouls tremble. If there were more of him, where would they even have a way to survive?
Arima said solemnly, "That's why the Washuu clan is very strong. To cultivate someone like me again, it doesn't take them much time."
"In fact, such people already exist now."
"The Washuu clan's subordinate organization, V, is composed of half-humans. Their leader, Kichimura Washuu, is even stronger than me."
He grabbed Jotaro's hand, pleading sincerely, "It's not easy to fight against them. You must have great power."
"Kujo, you have that ability. So I hope you can take the throne and lead the ghouls..."
"Wait a second." Jotaro immediately interrupted him, frowning.
"Yare yare daze, I don't understand what you mean, and I have no interest at all in any throne. But dealing with the Washuu clan, I'm very willing to do it."
His face was cold as frost. "Because they seriously piss me off!"
Arima reminded him, "The Washuu clan isn't so easy to deal with. Their influence has already penetrated every industry of daily life."
"You alone are far from enough. Even if all members of the Washuu clan were killed, the conflict between ghouls and humans still couldn't be resolved."
"They need someone who can unite both sides, someone who can become the catalyst for unity!"
