Dr. STONE (Dr.STONE)

TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE PERSEUS 'S DEPARTURE

Huh? So what's the deal here?

Why do you have a tray full of soggy wheat?

Looks sprouted to me.

That's 10 billion percent fine.

We'll take this and then dry it out in the oven.

I thought you'd just soaked the stuff!

What are you even trying to do?

We've gotta knead it, and get rid of the hulls.

Then I get to beat the heck out of it!

Huh.

Mix it in hot water and filter.

You get wheat juice.

AKA "wort."

-Whoa! -Whoa!

Toss in some Humulus lupulus,

they're hops that grow wild in Japan, and boil.

And then, we just let our yeast buddies

do their thing.

We'll leave it to ferment on its own and become alcohol.

The yeast will even carbonate the stuff for us.

Hmm.

Nothing like a good beer!

Hits the spot!

Back in ancient Egypt.

Beer was so valuable,

they used to pay their pyramid builders with it.

It's perfect after a hard day's work.

You're not wrong!

That's good stuff!

Wait, hold on.

Are you not gonna have any?

I think I'll pass for now.

It‘s fine. I'm not the only one.

We gotta have some sober folks to make sure

the ship doesn't sink or something.

But luckily, not everyone is a fan

of drinking, anyway.

I'm not really old enough to be drinking alcohol.

Yeah, guess you are a little young.

Don't let it get you down.

But when it's time to have fun on my ship,

you've gotta promise me that you'll have fun with us.

No exceptions allowed, you hear?

Francois!

Yes, sir.

So I shall mix some special, non-alcoholic cocktails.

It would be a blow to the entire crew's morale

if we were to let those who don't imbibe feel left out.

Can you really do all that?

On this tiny shipboard bar?

Expect nothing less from Francois!

Let us know if you need anything.

Whatever you want, the science team's on it!

You're as kind and generous as always.

And since you're offering so magnanimously...

Gum syrup, eh?

We're making it from wheat.

Once you wash the wheat flour,

the gunk that collects down there at the bottom is starch.

The secret ingredient is sulfuric acid.

How nice. Our old friend, Sulfurina!

You're gonna put that in a drink?

That stuff is super poisonous, Senku!

It'll melt your teeth if you drink it straight.

Which is why we boil the crap out of it!

Oh, yeah.

Of course, you wouldn't use that

without some sort of scientific trick handy to neutralize it.

Gotta learn the value of patience, Gen.

Dump in some toxic witherite.

-That's poison, too! -That's poison, too!

It's probably just the name

that sounds scary, right?

I mean there's no way Senku'd be putting

straight up poison in our drinks.

Nah, it's straight up poison.

- But why? - But why?

Would you scaredy-cats just shut up already?

We've been making sugar

and stuff with this for a while now.

Mix it up, check the pH, filter it, and it's harmless.

That's how science works.

Of course, if you don't know what you're doing, you'll die.

After that's done, you've got gum syrup.

Ah!

So sweet!

Warming up a bottle of milk, huh?

Doesn't seem like it's gotten much hotter than bath water.

Yeah, that's kinda the whole point.

Whoa! Dude, you made yogurt!

Take some filtered yogurt, add gum syrup,

a little bit of lemon and, voila!

LACTIC DRINK ACQUIRED!!

I hope you enjoy this.

Ah! Wow!

I've never had anything like it before in my life!

It's super sweet, a little bit sour,

and a 100% yummy!

I added some apple juice

to this lactic drink.

Apple, huh? Good idea.

I love the little cucumber on the rim.

It looks like an even tinier,

cuter version of your helmet, Suika!

It's not just a decorative garnish.

Once you're about halfway finished,

drop it into the glass and give that a try.

The flavor changed

and now it tastes like a watermelon!

It's really yummy and refreshing!

That's cool.

How'd it go from apple to watermelon?

Well, it's from mixing gourd family plants with fruit juice.

Your pure smile, like radiant sunshine,

interacts with your helmet,

showcasing your effervescent charm.

A cocktail especially for Suika,

the 2Side Sunshine.

Francois looks like a bartender in a movie,

the way they're throwing the drinks around.

I would bet that there's some scientific reason

it makes the drinks mix better!

Would you, now?

It's nothing of the sort.

-Are you serious? -Are you serious?

It's simply for flair.

It treats the guest's eyes in addition to their palates

for a more complete experience.

Wow, talk about mastering the art of hospitality.

Hm.

This cocktail is for Tsukasa.

GRENADINE (POMEGRANATE) SYRUP-20ML TONIC WATER-30ML

Watch, as the red of the pomegranate

under the scientific glow of the black light

changes like the gentle flame

smoldering inside Tsukasa's heart.

It turned blue?

It's glowing.

So pretty.

Very good.

Thank you.

And now, for Gen, an innocent look

hides a mature and spicy kick.

Now that's what I call a spicy cola!

And for you, Kohaku.

SPICY CINDERELLA

Huh. Humanity really is something.

We have the imagination and knowledge

to create amazing things from natural ingredients.

Yeah, but you do realize that everything

in our world is natural.

And this one is a cocktail

crafted for the one and only Senku.

THREE-LAYER TEA LATTE

Whipped matcha, milk, and hojicha tea syrup.

The layers represent science and the way that

it constantly builds upon itself.

Since I'm gonna drink it all together,

can't I just stir it up?

I thought you might suggest that.

I believe the layers of flavor will blend together elegantly.

The scientific achievements working in concert

to become a mildly sweet latte.

Come on, Matsukaze, have a drink with us.

We wanna hear all those cool stories about your past,

'bout your master.

Tell this guy how awesome I was back then.

His master from back then?

Not you.

My master, he had a powerful spirit

up till the very end.

Huh?

Then, it happened, without any kind of warning.

They rained down suddenly.

Perhaps someone's voice commanded them,

or perhaps they were responding to our curses.

I cannot say.

But it didn't take long for people to understand

how these terrible weapons worked.

Should these fall into the wrong hands,

chaos will run rampant.

Find them all and destroy them immediately!

Master!

Matsukaze.

There's no saving me now.

Please, Master.

You shouldn't say such things.

Listen.

I've been thinking.

Why did the heavens curse us

with this evil petrification weapon?

At first, I thought it was divine punishment.

But it's strange.

If the ultimate goal was to turn everyone to stone,

it would have only taken one device to make it so.

Makes no sense,

had they been designed for us?

Why are they so easy to use?

Were they intended to be treated as weapons
