The sudden news left Roy briefly stunned, followed by uncontrollable ecstasy.
The Seraphim test subject had awakened, which meant the naval warfare expert he had long dreamed of was finally within reach.
After all, it was a clone of Shichibukai Jinbe!
In Roy's recollection, when it came to naval combat, Jinbe was unquestionably among the very best in the entire Pirate World.
