Mercenaries! Bloodline Factor Clones

The New World.

Gis Island.

Fisher Tiger sat on a collapsed wall.

The sunlight streaming in from the sky made him squint slightly in enjoyment.

Although it wasn't his first time on the sea, every time he saw the blue sky and white clouds, and basked in the sunshine and sea breeze, he still felt an indescribable sense of emotion.

"That's gone too far."

Behind him, Jinbe looked around with some displeasure. "Even though they were hired, there was no need to cause this much damage, was there?"

This used to be a small seaside town, but now it's all in ruins.

"You know perfectly well what kind of people those soldiers under Roa are."

Fisher Tiger sighed and said, "I heard they only have a ten-year lifespan, and that was something Roa specifically requested so they could become combat-ready sooner."

"Although they are clones, they are still human beings, and they possess normal human emotions. In this situation, the anger and despair they feel are beyond words."

"They simply cannot defy Roa; obeying Roa's orders is an instinct etched deep within them. Therefore, these twisted emotions can only be vented during wartime."

"That guy Roa!"

Jinbe gritted his teeth, clenching his fists in deep dissatisfaction. "You brought them into this world, yet you gave them no hope whatsoever!"

Fisher Tiger sighed softly.

He got his information from a clone soldier.

At that moment, the soldier, in a state of anguish and madness, said, "The Boss said that he has already brought us into this world, allowing us, who should not exist, to be born. This is already an unparalleled favor. How could we possibly ask for more?"

"But who says we wanted to come into this world? If we hadn't been born, there would be no pain, no despair!"

What an annoying guy, Roa.

"However, it has nothing to do with us."

Fisher Tiger stood up and stretched. "After this trip, we can rest for a few days. Jinbe, let's go back to Fish-Man District. We haven't been back since we left."

"Good."

Mentioning Fish-Man District, Jinbe's expression softened slightly. "The children will definitely keep pestering us with questions about what's happening on the sea."

"Hahaha! That gives us plenty to talk about!"

Fisher Tiger smiled.

Roa is indeed a very annoying person.

But he did indeed keep his promise.

It gave them a chance to connect with the sea.

Over the past few months, Fisher Tiger has been taking the Fish-Man on a journey around the world, and in just a few months, Fisher Tiger has seen landscapes he had never seen in the past few decades.

Moreover, not only are the wages high, but even in the event of an attack, as long as the name of the Calamity Company is mentioned, most people will run away instantly.

After all, the whole world knows that Roa is a petty person, and if he suffers a loss, he will definitely retaliate.

"But,"

Jinbe asked with some surprise, "Why haven't they arrived yet? It's past the agreed time. Wasn't the war over?"

Hearing his elder brother mention returning to Fish-Man Island, he was already eager to go back.

Who knows?

Fisher Tiger didn't seem to mind, saying, "It won't hurt to rest a little longer."

Fortunately, the two didn't rest for long before the ground began to shake.

In the distance, a troop is rapidly approaching.

Everyone looked exactly the same, and they were all heavily armed, armed to the teeth.

Behind the infantry were rows of armored vehicles, encased in thick iron armor. The turrets on the vehicles could rotate freely, with a long, thick cannon on top and tracks below that could adapt to various terrains.

Fisher Tiger knew that these armored vehicles were supposedly designed by Roa, who named them tanks in order to more thoroughly tear apart the enemy's defenses.

There are only a little over a hundred of these armored vehicles in the entire Scourge, and they are not yet available for sale.

Because it's not cheap to manufacture, and it's not easy to produce.

But Fisher Tiger had witnessed the power of these behemoths firsthand.

Traditional armies would be utterly helpless against these behemoths weighing over ten tons.

To be honest, in this world where the sea is the main theme, these tanks that can only fight on land are hard to say are very useful.

Behind the tanks were rows of heavy howitzers, a symbol of firepower. With a maximum range of over ten kilometers, enemy troops were engulfed by artillery fire before they could even see the Scourge.

"Finally back."

Fisher Tiger led Jinbe to meet them, "Why did it take so long?"

Although they all look alike, different personalities create different people, and different people are ranked, so the clone soldiers are also strictly hierarchical.

A clone dressed as an officer suddenly smirked at Fisher Tiger's question, "The battle was over long ago. The royal army crumbled at the first contact with a mere non- Affiliated Nation, and they reached the palace in just one hour."

"However, a minor dispute arose later."

"The rebel leader who hired us seized the throne only to find he had no money left to pay his debts. The king's treasury was emptier than his face! Hahaha! It's funny, really. To deal with the rebels, the king bought a lot of weapons from various companies, and the royal family was broke!"

"Not surprising at all."

Fisher Tiger nodded slightly.

For non- Affiliated Nation like these, being drawn into an arms race is a terrifying prospect.

Already impoverished, they still had to grit their teeth and spend money to purchase additional weapons. Even though the weapons provided by the Calamity Company were of good quality and inexpensive, this was still relative.

Where can you find cheap weapons?

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's like drinking poison to quench thirst.

"So what did you do?"

Jinbe asked in Jinbe voice.

"Of course, we'll help him raise the money!"

The clone officer raised the corners of his mouth, his gleaming white teeth complementing his Jinbe smile, instantly sending a shiver down Jinbe's spine. "Although the people of this country are very poor, but—"

"Okay, I'm not interested in those."

Fisher Tiger waved his hand.

He didn't want to hear it.

Now all he wants to do is continue traveling the world and then protect Fish-Man Island from that madman Roa.

He wouldn't give Roa any excuse to attack Fish-Man Island.

"Let's go, it's time to take you back."

Fisher Tiger turned around and looked at the coastline not far away.

Along the coast, enormous creatures burst from the water.

They were enormous sea beasts, their bodies inlaid with many iron chains, which connected them to huge, sealed ships.

This is the deep-sea fleet that Fish-Man Island's Deep Sea Logistics Company is so proud of.

They can deliver goods or troops to any corner of the world at top speed.

The mercenaries, who had traveled a long way, boarded a deep-sea fleet and began their return voyage.

In the past few months, it's not just the Calamity Company that has become world-famous; its Catastrophe Legion has also gained considerable renown.

Ever since the first lucky individual emerged who hired the Scourge to fight and easily wiped out the enemy, people discovered that the Calamity Company's formidable army could actually be outsourced?

Therefore, many people had this idea.

After all, although they all use weapons produced by the same company, the Scourge's weapons are obviously more advanced, and their combat power is simply incomparable to that of ordinary armies on the sea.

Of course, there are some drawbacks. First, it's expensive. Second, it has to be shipped from New World, and if the distance is a bit far, it often just won't arrive in time.

Therefore, the current employees are all from the New World, and their numbers are not large.

Non- Affiliated Nation poor.

Even wealthy Affiliated Nation dare not risk offending the World Government by hiring them.

Even so, the world is already quite shocked.

Even a small portion of the Scourge army possesses the power to easily destroy a nation, without even the officials needing to lift a finger.

Roa's infamy spread further.

However, unlike the world's fear of the Scourge, the World Government, which controls this world, is more concerned with something else.

In fact, not long ago, the Five Elders held a small meeting in Mary Geoise.

"The Fish-Man's underwater fleet? What's going on?! We finally managed to block that bastard Roa's transport routes!"

"We've already contacted the Ryugu Kingdom urgently. Their explanation is that Roa recruited a group of Fish-Man to work for him at some point, and the Ryugu Kingdom can't do anything about it. However, we can't rule out the possibility that they're lying."

"Damn it! Why don't these stinking fish stay put on the seabed? What are they doing out here causing trouble!"

"Now, all the lockdowns are meaningless!"

"We can't just watch Roa develop like this, can we? Don't forget he still has Judge, and he obtained a lot of technical data from Ohara. Now, with the massive financial investment, I wouldn't be surprised what they come up with in the end!"

"What should we do then? We can't just bring out weapons and compete with them, can we?"

"Hmm? You know, that might not be a bad idea!"

"What a joke! Where would that leave the government's reputation? Besides, Roa might be happy to let the commoners gain power, but do you think we're the same?"

"What trouble can a few weapons cause? It's better than watching Roa's power continue to expand!"

I second that.

So, before Roa even knew it, someone came to steal his business.

Back in the present, in a certain sea area of New World, giant snails float on the surface of the water.

A platform made up of several snails.

Fifteen-year-old Roa is currently cultivating.

He has grown quite a bit taller than he did a few months ago.

He's already nearly 1.9 meters tall, and when he comes of age, he should be over 2 meters tall.

The boy didn't seem to have any air of strength.

He was relatively tall and slender, with red lips and white teeth, and was incredibly handsome.

At this moment, Roa's eyes were tightly closed, and he was surrounded by Bullet, Abel, and Dylan, who were attacking him simultaneously.

It should be said that none of the three held back at all.

Bullet's fists had transformed into massive amounts of mercury, raining down relentlessly.

Abel entered Tengu mode, his blade swirling with wind and flames, creating dazzling trails.

Compared to them, Dylan, who also used his abilities, appeared rather unassuming.

He simply adorned himself with Armament Haki and unleashed a series of massive Flying Slash.

Faced with the three of them attacking him, Roa had no intention of fighting back at all, and simply kept dodging.

He was practicing Observation Haki, or more precisely, the Future Sight using Observation Haki.

After realizing that he would always be at a disadvantage when facing top-tier experts without mastering this skill, Roa has not stopped training for the past few months.

At this point, Roa made full use of the Life Return technique, causing his body to continuously deform.

His willpower was so strong that it was practically second nature, allowing him to instantly deform his body to astonishing degrees.

Sometimes it was paper, sometimes it was silk thread, trying its best to avoid the attacks from the three people.

However, no matter how much you dodge, there is always a limit. The three attacks were too dense, and Roa was bound to be hit.

However, he was too hard.

Even when the three attacks landed on him, they had absolutely no effect.

"No, that won't work."

Roa opened his eyes and sighed helplessly, "This kind of practice is completely ineffective."

Without a sense of crisis, there is no driving force.

It's no different from him cultivating alone.

"Sorry, Boss,"

Bullet, also fifteen years old, was already taller than two Roa combined. The boy looked apologetic. "We were too weak."

Don't worry about it.

Roa waved his hand casually and sighed, "It's just that I'm too outstanding."

"Certainly!"

The three subordinates saw nothing wrong with Roa's narcissism, nodding in unison, "No one in the world can compare to you!"

"Ha ha!"

Roa beamed with joy.

That's why there are so many incompetent rulers. No matter what they say, there are always people who agree with them. It's hard for them not to become stubborn and self-willed.

However, it was at this moment...

"Boss! It's done!!"

With dark circles under his eyes and a thin frame Judge ran out of the palace excitedly.

"Finally finished!!"

"Is it finished?"

Roa turned around. "What's finished?"

"An elite clone fused with specially designed Lineage Factor!"

Judge's face was beaming with joy, he was so excited he was practically dancing with excitement, "Just now, everyone has been removed from the incubation chamber! They've officially matured!"

"Oh?"

Roa's eyes lit up instantly.

This was a project he suggested Judge undertake.

Instead of using a mother's body to nurture a baby with Lineage Factor, it would be much more convenient and faster to directly implant the Lineage Factor into a clone.

To complete this research, most of the money earned from selling weapons that year was invested in Judge's laboratory.

Are there finally any results?

Soon after, in Judge's laboratory, Roa saw five teenagers.

It still has the same face as the clone soldier, but it looks much younger, about sixteen or seventeen years old.

The only difference is that they have different hair color compared to ordinary clones.

From left to right: pink, red, blue, yellow, green.

The Five Color Squad belongs to [the team's name/organization].

In terms of hair color, it's exactly the same as the original Vinsmoke siblings.

"All five of them have had specially designed Lineage Factor integrated into their bodies, giving them strength far exceeding that of ordinary clone soldiers!" Judge excitedly explained.

"His strength, speed, and reaction time far surpass those of ordinary soldiers."

"What's most remarkable is the exoskeleton specially added for them. Even Armament Haki hardening can't match their defensive capabilities! Not to mention their regenerative abilities far beyond those of ordinary people!"

Judge spoke without stopping, almost breathless, "Then there were five Lineage Factor abilities specially prepared for the five of them!"

"Toxins, flames, lightning, gales, monstrous strength."

"Boss! They are absolutely stunning super soldiers!"

A strong wind? Isn't that invisible?

Oh well, it's the butterfly effect.

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Roa smiled and said, "Let's test it out quickly."
