Chapter 157

The first to bear the brunt were Vinsmoke Judge's three sons.

Moreover, thanks to Luo Xing's technological means, he stood far above Judge and far above Vegapunk as well.

This meant that Luo Xing's modification project could not be reversed by anyone on this Grand Line.

Judge's three sons, including all of Germa's cloned soldiers, would from now on remain loyal only to Luo Xing alone.

The modification project proceeded very smoothly.

Luo Xing first completed the modifications of Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji, then, with the three's assistance, modified the remaining clones.

Each time a clone was finished being modified, that clone would join the team helping with the modifications, so the speed of modification grew faster and faster.

In the end, it took only most of a day's effort to finish modifying Germa's tens of thousands of cloned soldiers.

At the same time, Luo Xing also fed them Devil Fruit cells.

"Pay respects to the Young Master!"

Led by Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji, the tens of thousands of Germa soldiers, whose morale had surged greatly, knelt before Luo Xing in unison.

A satisfied expression appeared on Luo Xing's face.

With this, Beasts Pirates' troop strength could be said to have doubled.

Moreover, the troop strength could continue to increase without end.

Because the cloning devices here could produce new clones every day.

Luo Xing had naturally modified these cloning devices as well, ensuring that the clones produced would, from the moment of their birth, have loyalty directed only toward Luo Xing.

Luo Xing let the tireless cloned soldiers continue their training while he, accompanied by the three brothers, went to attend the Dayan Society that evening.

The banquet was held in Judge's former vast palace.

As soon as Luo Xing entered, Judge, who was kneeling to one side, immediately turned bloodshot-eyed, rushed toward Luo Xing like a madman, and roared:

"You bastard, what have you done to my cloned soldiers!"

"You old deadbeat, get lost and don't come near the Young Master!"

Three feet kicked Judge away without any mercy.

And the ones who struck were none other than Judge's three sons, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji!

This scene was so ironic it made one feel both sorrowful and ridiculous.

Luo Xing did not kill Judge; he even stepped forward and personally helped Judge, who had been kicked away by his three sons, to his feet.

Patting the other's shoulder, he comforted him, saying:

"The strong devour the weak is the law of this world, and also the principle you have always believed in."

"Whether in science or in strength, you are far inferior to me. From now on, just follow me, your big brother."

The last person to whom Luo Xing had spoken such words was Enel.

After a series of beatings during his time in the Rabbit Mine Prison, Enel had already completely come to terms with reality.

He was no longer the god of the Sky Island, but merely a lucky one who had eaten a Natural-type Devil Fruit, a frog at the bottom of a well.

According to the report from the prison warden, Enel had already been willing to submit to Luo Xing and was willing to be Luo Xing's underling.

Luo Xing felt gratified and planned, after returning to Wano Country, to go meet Enel.

Oh, and by the way, meet that Trafalgar Law as well.

Putting these matters aside for now, Judge, who had just been helped up by Luo Xing, was already in tears.

For the first time in his life, he was extremely regretful: why had he removed all emotions from his sons, resulting in raising three things worse than beasts who actually turned against him, their father!

"Beasts! You three beasts!"

With bloodshot eyes, Judge cursed Ichiji, Yonji, and the others.

Yonji clenched his fists and sneered indifferently:

"Father, if we three are beasts, then you are an old beast!"

Upon hearing this, Judge's eyes nearly burst from their sockets; suddenly, a mouthful of blood surged in his throat, he spat it out, collapsed to the ground, and actually fainted from rage.

This time, Luo Xing did not help Judge up again; instead, he frowned and said to Yonji:

"Judge is still your father after all; how can you speak like that? Hurry and lift him up, take him to a room to rest."

Yonji immediately respectfully replied, "Yes, Young Master!"

Having been re-modified, Luo Xing was their only master.

The three Yonji brothers then dragged the unconscious Judge away.

Reiju's eyes revealed an endless sorrow.

This is all the karma you yourself created, Father!

She did not pity Judge, nor did she hate Luo Xing.

She only felt desolation and boredom.

Germa was still the Germa of before; only the master had changed.

"Germa indeed hasn't changed much, but you can return to being your true self."

A voice suddenly sounded by her ear.

Reiju was startled and quickly raised her eyes to look.

It was Luo Xing, who had just passed by her side, but that man did not look at her; he simply walked straight toward the main seat, the throne that originally belonged to Judge.

A hint of confusion flashed through Reiju's beautiful eyes.

She could be certain that the words just heard by her ear were spoken by that man to her, and that only she should have heard them.

Why would this mysterious and terrifying man say such things to her?

Was he concerned about her?

Reiju found it somewhat hard to believe.

She had already regarded Luo Xing as an ambitious schemer like Germa, willing to use any means to achieve his ends.

Reiju suddenly remembered again that this man had modified Yonji and the other two, but had not modified her.

It must be known that although Reiju retained a certain degree of emotion, she could still be further modified.

With that man's unrivaled scientific methods, turning her into a compliant, emotionless tool would absolutely pose no problem at all.

Upon careful reflection, that man indeed treated her with some extra distinction.

Even though up to now he had spoken only one sentence to her.

Reiju could not figure out the reason behind this.

Of course she could not figure it out; the only reason Luo Xing treated her differently was because he was taken with her astonishingly long legs...

After the banquet concluded.

The sky had grown dark.

Everyone planned to rest for one night in Germa and return to the Whole Cake Island tomorrow.

By that time, Kaido and Big Mom's battle game should also have ended.

Reiju still stayed in her original boudoir.

The people of the Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates seemed to have all ignored her; no one paid her any mind.

Reiju returned to her room with a complex mood.

She lay on the large bed.

What her future life would be like left her utterly bewildered.

Unknowingly, she fell asleep.

When she woke again, looking at the wall clock, it was actually just past midnight.

She would probably suffer from insomnia again during the second half of the night.

Huh, why is there a shadow on that wall clock?

Not good, there is someone else in the room!

Reiju, after all, was an elite warrior trained since childhood; her muscles instantly tensed throughout her body.

She rolled off the bed, and while rolling, drew her weapon, pointing it toward the source of that shadow.

A figure sat calmly before the table, even leisurely drinking tea.

That teacup was none other than the one Reiju herself usually liked to use the most!

Reiju did not notice this detail; instead, her beautiful eyes suddenly contracted, and she cried out in shock:

"It's you?!"
