Seraphim Experimental Subject Acquired

Chapter 37: Seraphim Experimental Subject Acquired

The vast sea clouds pressed down upon the ocean, covering the sky.

In truth, Roy's objective had already been achieved.

From the very beginning, Roy's confrontation with Queen was merely a means to legitimately obtain a Seraphim experimental subject.

Now, with the transport ship carrying the experimental subject partially destroyed by Queen, and the plague virus rampant on the sea's surface, the personnel on the warships and transport ships could only expect seven or eight survivors at most, according to Roy's plan.

Under these circumstances, Roy had more than enough justification to quietly abscond with a Seraphim experimental subject.

After all, the Navy's warship and transport ship had been attacked by Queen, one of the Beasts Pirates' Three Calamities. Therefore, some losses were bound to be within a reasonable scope.

Even if the World Government were to become furious later due to the partial failure of the mission, Roy was confident he could protect his own life with the authority he wielded and the backing he had.

Now that his objective was achieved, Roy naturally wouldn't allow Queen to continue destroying the transport ships.

As the sea clouds in the sky suddenly plummeted downwards with immense force, the overwhelming pressure felt as if the sky itself was falling.

"Nani!"

"How is this possible? How could such a large-scale attack be achieved?"

The scene before him widened Queen's eyes. He had not anticipated Roy pulling off such a move.

His previous probing attacks had already allowed Queen to grasp some of the properties of the clouds in the sky. These clouds, seemingly harmless to ordinary people, were a veritable nemesis to Devil Fruit users.

In Queen's eyes at that moment, what was falling from the sky was not mere clouds. It was an entire ocean!

"Kid, you got me this time. Damn it, I'll get my revenge."

"Brachiosaurus Missile."

With unconcealed resentment in his eyes, he fired another powerful missile towards the transport ship below.

He glanced up at the even faster descending cloud layer. By now, more than half of the pirates on the ship Queen had brought had already died. Ironically, most of these fallen subordinates had succumbed to Queen's plague virus, with only a fraction dying from the poisonous rain Roy had unleashed.

"Jet Wings."

Queen, whose body had been heavily modified, transformed into his strongest human-dragon form. In his view, the pirate ship below no longer held any value. As a pair of gliding membranes extended from Queen's back and his tail morphed into a propulsion device, the sea clouds in the sky, rapidly approaching the sea surface, forced him to flee. After all, no matter how monstrous his body modifications were, as a Devil Fruit user, he couldn't directly overcome the sea and the clouds containing Seastone particles. His instincts screamed that staying any longer might lead to his downfall.

The obese Queen began to retreat towards the outer waters of the battlefield in a rather comical manner.

Roy, standing tall in the sky, waved his hand, and a spear forged from iron clouds and sea clouds shot rapidly towards the direction Queen was fleeing.

Simultaneously, the missile Queen had fired before his escape, just as it was about to hit the transport ship, was intercepted by a massive shield made of iron clouds that materialized in front of it.

BOOM!

Just as Cole thought he and everyone else were doomed, the violent explosion made his increasingly hazy head clear up.

"Is that Lord Roy?"

Within his blurry vision, Roy's figure materialized on the deck.

"Oh, not bad. You're still alive. Your physical condition seems decent. If you survive, your life from now on belongs to me."

With a hint of surprise, Roy looked at the overweight official struggling against death on the deck. Wearing a gas mask, Roy directly tossed a CP9-exclusive life-saving serum towards Cole's neck. This serum was designed to burn a person's vitality to achieve a temporary healing effect.

After glancing at the potion he'd administered, Cole, who was convulsing violently and unconscious, caught his eye.

He then turned his head to look at the other World Government members and Marines fighting for their lives.

Roy still had a few potions left in his hand, but it was clear he had no intention of using the remaining ones on these people.

As for whether these people lived or died, Roy felt it would be up to luck.

The reason he had used a potion to save Cole's life was twofold.

First, Cole was the man second only to him in rank within this transport fleet.

Second, Roy needed someone with a certain status and position to share some of the responsibility for this pirate attack.

Clearly, Cole was the best candidate at the moment.

At the same time, Roy also hoped to bring Cole under his wing, thereby inserting a spy into the World Government's transport department.

He scanned the entire transport ship using the Echo Map.

After Roy confirmed the presence of the hidden Den Den Mushi within the ship's hold.

The explosion Roy had deliberately controlled moments ago had now blown a huge gap in the ship's hold.

At this moment, gray-white mist had already enveloped the entire transport ship and warship.

"Thread Cloud."

A type of durable, transparent cloud created through special techniques on Sky Island, it directly bound one of the six iron chests in the hold and pulled it towards the sea where the gap had been blasted open.

Splash!

As the heavy object fell into the water.

He manipulated the Thread Cloud to bind it again, then sent it into the sky via Island Cloud.

Roy breathed a sigh of relief internally, while the mist covering the sea surface began to rise back towards the sky.

"As expected of one of the Three Calamities from a Yonko pirate crew! You got lucky this time, fatty. Next time, I'll definitely drown you with Sea Cloud."

Sensing through the mist, Queen had already escaped this area.

In this battle, neither side had gone all out.

Roy still had many abilities he hadn't used, and Queen was the same.

In this clash, only their subordinates were injured.

The big shots on both sides had merely expended a bit of energy.

As the dense fog and clouds dispersed.

When several warships flying the World Government flag appeared on the distant sea.

"Damn it, a real man should cut himself a few times."

Thanks to the cleansing of the mist earlier, the plague virus on the ship had now dissipated.

Drawing his sword, he made a few slashes on his shoulder and other non-fatal areas.

Splat!

Blood splattered on the deck.

After glancing at his reflection in the mirror and checking his complexion.

Roy unhesitatingly dialed the Den Den Mushi to contact Spandam.
