Hearing this, Charles excitedly slapped him on the shoulder. "Excellent! I'm just glad you're alive. The Narwhal can't do without its first mate."
The moment Charles finished speaking, the crew swarmed forward. With Bandage alive again, the atmosphere aboard the Narwhal instantly became relaxed and cheerful.
Through a round of curious experiments, the crew quickly determined the extent of Bandage's special ability. Although no one knew why, the previous statue relic seemed useful only for self-preservation. In Bandage's case, however, it manifested as an extraordinary ability to manipulate plants.
In addition to the plants growing from his own body, he could also control other flora. However, this control came at a price, as Linda discovered with her potted plant. If a plant was altered too drastically, it would rapidly wither once Bandage released control, as if its potential had been completely exhausted.
