Chapter 249

"If you can endure the side effects, I'll let you continue commanding Germa and conquer the North Sea; if you can't, go down and apologize to the wife you doomed to death."

213. The war to conquer the North Sea has begun! Global conscription and total military mobilization!

Since Rejiu has become Luo Xing's woman, Gatz is effectively his half-father-in-law.

Yet Luo Xing would not treat Gatz with any special courtesy because of this.

He truly had no objection to returning command of Germa to Gatz, since the man could never again possess the ability to betray him.

But the condition was that Gatz must possess sufficient strength and value.

If the man cannot even endure the side effects of a Ghost-grade Monster Cell, what right does he have to discuss anything else?

A strangely shaped purple flesh mass was tossed by Luo Xing before Gatz.

Gatz did not hesitate a moment—he swallowed the Monster Cell.

The next instant.

He screamed in agony.

As a technologist accustomed to fighting in battle suits, Gatz's base strength was not particularly strong.

Including the Ichi brothers, most of their power stemmed from their battle suits.

Gatz's screams lasted over ten minutes, revealing just how excruciating it was for him to endure a Ghost-grade Monster Cell.

Fortunately,

His hunger for ambition, his desire to rule the North Sea, allowed him to endure at last.

At this moment, Gatz's aura surged dramatically, and his stature doubled in height.

Feeling the unprecedented torrent of power within him, Gatz was overjoyed, trembling with excitement.

He knelt and bowed:

"Your servant thanks Lord Luo Xing for this gift!"

With his strength greatly enhanced, Gatz could now sense even more acutely Luo Xing's unfathomable depth.

He no longer harbored even a trace of resentment.

To serve this man, to stand beneath the increasingly terrifying Beast Pirates—

In a certain sense, it was a tremendous blessing for both Gatz and Germa.

Luo Xing nodded slightly and said:

"Since you endured it, the Germa Clone Army remains under your command. You must seize the entire North Sea as soon as possible—especially expel the Marines and World Government forces from it!"

Gatz accepted the order in ecstatic delight.

Luo Xing then appointed Rejiu as military strategist, granting her equal status to Gatz.

Then,

He went to inspect the newly created Clone Army.

After Luo Xing's modifications, the clone production apparatus had greatly increased its efficiency.

Hundreds or even thousands of clones could now be produced daily, and their physiques were significantly stronger than before.

During this period,

The number of newly born clones reached over forty thousand.

Combined with Germa's original soldiers, the Clone Army's total strength now reached a full eighty thousand!

Luo Xing fed every one of these eighty thousand soldiers Monster Cells, making each of them as powerful as a beast.

Gazing at the eighty thousand soldiers radiating overwhelming might, Gatz was utterly overwhelmed with excitement.

With such a terrifying army, conquering the entire North Sea was entirely feasible!

Overcome with ecstatic joy, Gatz immediately petitioned Luo Xing to launch an attack first on the strongest nations in the North Sea.

Luo Xing agreed.

Conquering the strong before the weak was the best strategy for any conqueror.

For once the powerful nations were defeated, the weaker ones would be filled with fear and surrender easily.

Ambitious Gatz immediately launched the war.

In an instant, the North Sea was engulfed in thick smoke of war.

Rejiu's beautiful eyes showed a hint of sorrow:

"War kills so many people—is such ambition truly worth it?"

Luo Xing wrapped his arms around Rejiu's slender waist and comforted her:

"It's not just for ambition—it's to save the common people who have been oppressed by the Celestial Dragons for eight hundred years."

"Most nations in this world are members of the World Government, and each year they must offer Heavenly Gold to the Celestial Dragons."

"The royal families produce nothing, yet enjoy all the benefits. Where does their Heavenly Gold come from? Only from plundering the people."

"I am only killing these bloodsucking parasites. As for ordinary civilians, as long as they submit, I will not harm them in the slightest."

"Moreover, I will distribute the Wa Country's Super Seeds and Multi-Skill Cybertronians to them, completely solving the problem of food production."

Rejiu's body trembled.

Her gaze toward Luo Xing filled with admiration and affection.

But immediately, she spoke with a hint of jealousy:

"You do all this because of your Yamato wife's dream of feeding the whole world, don't you?"

Though this was true, Luo Xing certainly would not admit it now.

Luo Xing wrapped both arms around Rejiu, hoisting her astonishingly long, beautiful legs onto his shoulders:

"I do it so you can eat your fill."

Rejiu blushed crimson and forgot her jealousy.

Outside the world.

Wars between nations are raging in full swing.

Inside the room.

The war between Luo Xing and Reiju has also lasted for a very, very long time...

The Germa Kingdom suddenly launched a full-scale invasion war in the North Blue.

Such a major event naturally reached the ears of the World Government immediately.

Holy Land Mary Geoise.

The Five Elders, representing power, flew into a rage and roared:

"What does Vinsmoke Judge think he's doing, launching a war so silently! He even killed our people; he is utterly audacious!"

"Doesn't he fear the World Government's punishment?!"

The Germa Kingdom is actually a member of the Fudejia Alliance.

But now that war has broken out, the Five Elders immediately removed its status as a member.

The CP member reporting this matter said in fear and trembling:

"According to reports from spies in the North Blue, the figure of the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing was allegedly seen among the Germa Kingdom's fleet."

"And the Germa clone soldiers have all become like monsters; they must have eaten the Monster Cells invented by the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing."

Upon hearing this, the fury in the Five Elders' chests almost burst through the sky.

It's the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing again, that man again!!

Destroying Impel Down, occupying Sabaody, and now controlling Germa, attempting to rule the entire North Blue!

That bastard truly intends to conquer the whole world, doesn't he?!

While the Five Elders were angry, they were also fearful.

They feared my lord Imu's Lei Ting wrath, and they also feared the dire state of the current situation.

The sword-wielding elder barely calmed himself and asked the Grand Marshal of the Navy, Army, and Air Force, Kuzan, who was also in the palace:

"Kuzan, has the new Fleet Admiral candidate from the Marines been decided?"

Kuzan frowned tightly, worried about the current world situation.

He shook his head and sighed:

"Not yet. Admiral Akainu and Admiral Aokiji are unwilling to yield to each other; both are determined to secure the position of Fleet Admiral."

"They plan to hold a fair duel, and the winner will become the Fleet Admiral."

The sword-wielding elder said:
