Dr. Stone: New World Part 2

There it is.

With my eagle-eyed vision, I see Medusa's true face.

Senku, you were spot on yet again.

It isn't a curse or a demonic device without rules.

Though the Medusa of legend used magic... this is science.

It's up to you, Amaryllis.

Tell Senku and the others.

Tell them all the secrets the infiltration team uncovered.

If we're retaliating with science, we can't lose.

All that's left to do is wait

and trust in the power of science.

You're right. It'll turn out okay, I know it.

Ah! Yuzuriha!

Hi, Taiju!

No, we should just shake hands!

Gotta be respectful, even when greeting close friends!

Ugh. Did you revert

to a hover-handing middle schooler just now?

Hm.

Chrome's hands are this size, right?

It's crazy how good she is at this.

Her super memory is something else.

Add in her handicraft skills,

and you've got one hell of a puzzle-solver.

So bad!

So that's how it feels to have your body petrified!

Stoked I finally got the chance to try it!

Kaseki had a very similar reaction.

Chrome and I are cut from the same crafty cloth!

We are the builder duo round here, so it only makes sense!

And speaking of,

I'm gonna need you to hop on this project with me,

now that you're up and at 'em, Chrome!

No way!

Drone-building team's ten billion percent ready

to get to work.

Which means, very soon, our 3-D warfare commences.

Of course... we're gonna want a 3-D specialist for this!

Am I wrong?

Ah. So we need some intel on the new enemy, don't we?

Way to get right to the point.

As expected of our sonar man.

We've got it covered.

Kohaku and her team are currently in the enemy--

Hang on.

In the water. Someone's swimming straight for us.

Amaryllis!

It's awful. Simply awful!

Kohaku and Ginro were petrified!

I almost can't believe it!

Soyuz is somehow related to the master?

Well, we can't take Ginro's speculation as concrete fact.

Yeah.

We'll save our theories about Soyuz's family tree for later.

I've got a more pertinent question.

How do these guys operate and what are they packin'?

We may only have bits of information,

but with our combined intellects,

we'll fill in the gaps.

Right. Leave it to me!

Oh, I've for sure got this!

Great. We'll start with organizing our info.

Ah! The kingdom of science is back together,

and it feels so good!

This is awesome!

It's that team of five Kohaku mentioned before,

but what'd she say?

They're like, our brainy generals!

A meeting of the kingdom of science's top brass!

You and the spy team should be very proud.

You put in some excellent work

and it's about to pay off big time,

'cause you just leaked a major secret to us.

Huh?

They've got a petrification weapon, yes, but only one.

We can deal with that.

Ha. Some critical intel.

That's a game-changer, right there.

My, oh, my!

Considering Ibara's psychology, it makes sense.

Though we can't say for certain, it's a decent theory.

Hey, back it up! What am I missing here?

Sounds obvious to you, but if it's obvious, why am I so lost?

Somebody explain it!

My report really told you that much? But how?

If Senku says he figured it out, he has!

Taiju's accepted that with a smile.

Don't get it? Then listen up!

This is another puzzle we're carefully solving,

but using intel instead of rocks.

As you know, puzzle-solving goes quicker with more hands.

Or, in this case, with more minds.

One especially handy mind is Chrome's.

His instincts are on point,

and he can see things from different angles.

Don't go makin' me sound all smug about it like you.

But sure! Count me in!

First off,

their master doesn't have a petrification weapon.

And if he did, he used it on himself.

So wouldn't that mean Ibara has one

since he's the real head honcho?

Most likely.

Ibara is very cautious. He must have an extra!

May I interject?

See, he's the type to have insurance out the wazoo.

It's fairly safe to assume

if a second petrification weapon did exist,

he would be the one to have it.

For, in the event of an emergency,

surely Ibara would want to have his own weapon ready to go,

but he relied on his righthand lady.

Yes. That's amazing.

You deduced so much from such a small clue.

Uh-huh. Now we know there's only one.

Nice!

At first, it was a little complicated,

but I finally got it at the end!

The thrower's at risk of being petrified as well.

Wary old Ibara watches from a safe distance

while Kirisame does the dirty work.

What? That selfish geezer is just rotten to the core!

Question.

This could tell us another very important thing,

if you confirm it.

Try to remember.

When Kirisame threw her weapon at them,

you said that she chucked it

high above the master's chambers right?

How high?

Extremely.

I see.

When she threw it, she aimed high enough

to avoid catching the master in the blast.

Yeah.

That's a stupidly helpful piece of info to add to the heap.

Poor Kirisame.

She doesn't know the master she serves is made of stone.

Hmm.

Not sure how you worked that out, but congratulations.

You're right.

Moz!

Even my ears didn't hear him sneak up!

Taiju!

You can take a hit, I'll give you that much.

However...

Me repeatedly beating you up will only buy you some time.

Unless you have another plan in mind. Well?

Taiju did just buy us some time.

Precious seconds I can use to save us.

I need to get my head in gear and think, think, think!

As somebody who desires the strength of others,

I can tell even if we all attack this guy at once,

it won't change a thing.

Well, it's curtains for us.

If there's a way out of this, I'm not seeing it.

Hopefully at least one person

will manage to get out alive!

I'm so sorry. He must've followed me.

I led him straight to us!

I've been a scavenger ever since I was a little kid,

so I know better than anyone

what a pain in the ass it is to look for stuff in the dark.

It's annoying as crap!

Killing Amaryllis would've been way easier,

but he went through all the trouble

of tailing her to this cave.

Which means he knew.

This scumbag knew full well

that Amaryllis was one of the trespassers!

Thank you for that illiant-bray deduction,

Captain Obvious.

Of course he knew.

Kohaku outed herself, so naturally,

everyone who associated with her would also be--

Wait. That means--!

Ginro's cover was blown right along with Kohaku's!

That's quite a significant detail,

yet he hid it from his big bossman.

Ibara led an intruder to a private space,

high atop the palace.

And Moz just sat there watching.

Meaning... Moz doesn't care if Ibara dies!

In fact, he might wanna kill him!

More pieces of this knowledge battle just clicked.

I was curious about our enemy's state of affairs,

and now I'm starting to see the picture in its entirety.

We have a good shot at tearing them down then, yes?

But who among us will...?

Uh...

Oh. Right. Me.

Hey...

Since you're here,

why not spare me an itty-bitty moment of your time.

I have an offer that might interest you.

What say you to teaming up with the kingdom of science?
