Calamity Knights! How Dare You Freeload Off Me?

So, on the platform where Roa had just been training, the Five Color Squad lined up in a row.

The five boys remained expressionless, their eyes devoid of any emotion.

Unlike ordinary Clone soldiers, these gene warriors, who are extremely expensive to produce and were originally designed for elite groups, are devoid of emotions.

They are not expendable, so they don't need to have emotions; they just need to obey orders wholeheartedly.

"Nightin! Record all the data carefully!"

Judge said to the glamorous woman in the white coat beside him.

The woman's name is Nightin, and she was formerly the ship's doctor for the World Pirates.

After Roa turned World into a demon, this woman was the only one left alive in the entire World Pirates.

Because she possessed a special pharmaceutical technique.

So Roa brought her back and left her with Judge.

After more than half a year, the woman finally resigned herself to her fate and obediently assisted Judge in his research. At the same time, she also produced several drugs of her own.

Among them, Roa values two models the most.

One type is a pill that can provide a large amount of energy and completely replace food.

Roa calls them Ration Pill, and that's what the Scourge soldiers are eating right now—every little bit helps, after all.

The second type of medicine is the magical potion used by this woman in the original work, which can temporarily reverse aging.

Although it's only temporary, it's already impressive enough.

If Whitebeard had had this kind of potion during the Paramount War...

Oh, they probably can't win either.

Never mind then.

Another interesting thing is that this woman and Judge seem to have some kind of ambiguous relationship.

Roa didn't seem to care about this.

Anyway, Sora is nowhere in the world, Vinsmoke siblings won't be able to be born safely.

It's only natural for Judge to want to start a new relationship.

However, these gossips are not the focus right now.

"Boss,"

Judge looked at Roa with excitement, "Shall we start the test with the basic abilities?"

"Wouldn't that be too boring? Let's test it with real combat."

Roa smiled and beckoned to one side, "Moria, come here."

"Good."

Moria, who had been standing aside watching the commotion, was slightly taken aback when Roa called his name, but without any hesitation, he nodded and stepped forward.

Are all the performances the same?

Roa looked at Judge.

He used the word "performance" to describe the capabilities of the five replicants.

"Besides the fact that their individual Lineage Factor and abilities differ,"

Judge replied without hesitation, "The other abilities should be the same."

"In that case,"

Roa casually pointed with his right hand, "Go ahead."

"Yes!"

The blue-haired clone instantly stepped out of the queue.

His codename is Electric Blue!

Judge quickly explained, "He possesses the ability to control lightning, and he's also the fastest of the five!"

Roa nodded slightly. "Moria, is everything alright?"

Moria, even larger Bullet, carried a pair of scissors and smirked, "Let him come at me!"

"So,"

Roa nodded. "Let's begin."

Laugh!

Almost instantly, a blue bolt of lightning erupted from Electric Blue's body.

His body seemed to have merged into the lightning, and he instantly appeared in front of Moria.

When!

His long right leg lashed out at Moria like a steel whip, but instead struck Moria's scissors as they came down.

"Hehehehe! Not fast enough!"

Moria burst into laughter.

In the nearly one year he's been following Roa, he hasn't been idle!

Observation Haki, kid!

Only.

"Um?"

Moria's laughter stopped abruptly the next moment.

When his sharp scissor blade slashed at the guy's right leg, it felt like he was striking Doflamingo's stone shell!

Wow, it's so hard!!

"Not bad,"

Roa nodded in satisfaction. "So this is an exoskeleton? Kozuki Sukiyaki meticulously crafted aren't enough!"

The scissors in Moria's hand were no ordinary scissors; they were a "Famous Sword" meticulously crafted by Kozuki Sukiyaki, one of the world's most renowned swordsmiths.

While it may not be on par with the quality of Enma or Ame no Habakiri, it would definitely be considered a good katana on the open sea.

This knife is top-notch.

However, the exoskeleton defense of the Electric Blue is even stronger.

"This is just the beginning, Boss!"

Judge laughed smugly.

The next instant, an unusually strong electric current was released from Electric Blue's body, instantly engulfing Moria.

Um?

Roa raised an eyebrow slightly.

While the Niji of Electric Blue in the original work does indeed emit electricity, he never uses such a large-scale electric shock technique.

Mink Tribe's electrical discharge ability can't compare to this Electric Blue in front of them, right?

"Is this really not Devil Fruit ability?"

Bege, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but marvel.

This android is already far stronger than him!

Is technology really that amazing?

The electric current from the Electric Blue was indeed powerful, but it had no effect on Moria.

Because at that moment, only a shadow was struck by the electric current.

The shadow vanished into the electric current, while Moria himself appeared behind Electric Blue and delivered a vicious slash to the android's waist with his scissors.

This time, invisible ripples were wrapped around the blades of the scissors.

Armament Haki!

Electric Blue was sent flying by a single slash.

Was his waist broken?

Doflamingo couldn't help but click his tongue in astonishment.

He saw with his own eyes that the android's lower back had been dented by the slash!

But.

The flying Electric Blue did a somersault in the air and landed steadily.

The next instant, lightning crackled around him again, and he sprang back like Inazuma.

His lower back has fully recovered!

"What kind of monster is this?!"

Moria frowned, then raised his left hand. "Shadow Box!"

The shadow transformed into a box, completely enveloping the charging Electric Blue.

However, lightning suddenly burst forth, and the dazzling flashes of light shattered the shadows!

A beam of light shot straight towards Moria.

When!

A fist crackling with lightning clashed with scissors imbued with Armament Haki.

Both figures retreated simultaneously.

"That much power?"

Moria couldn't help but question the meaning of life.

The strength he'd honed since childhood was barely on par with this guy who'd practically just been born?

With a cold expression, Electric Blue pushed forward with both hands, and lightning once again swept towards Moria.

At this point, Roa has confirmed it.

Although it happened several years earlier than expected, these androids should be considered limited-edition enhanced versions of the Vinsmoke Family.

Perhaps due to the time spent training, it has become somewhat inferior in strength and physical fitness, but its abilities have definitely improved. Niji in the original work would never have been able to unleash lightning of this scale.

Judge really did learn a lot of new knowledge from those ancient documents.

The training period for ordinary Clone soldiers has been shortened from one year to six months.

Amazing!

Perhaps it's possible to try having him replicate Abel's Lunarian bloodline and create the Seraphim from the original work?

Roa thought to himself.

Meanwhile, the battle was not over yet.

Moria teleported again, appearing behind Electric Blue once more. He bent down and scooped up the clone's shadow.

But before he could cut the shadow in half with his slash, the incredibly fast Electric Blue turned around and kicked him away, making him stagger.

"That's really troublesome!"

Moria was very unhappy.

How could someone who's just been created be pushed to this extent?

Coincidentally, Electric Blue also found Moria very troublesome, and he couldn't do anything about Moria.

So.

He reached for his waist and pressed a button on his belt.

A burst of intense light erupted from the belt, and in the next instant, Electric Blue was already draped in a blue Battle Suit!

Battle Suit?

Moria sneered, "I have one too!"

"Their Battle Suit are different from the regular ones!"

Judge quickly explained, "They're all specially made, special models that can amplify their Lineage Factor abilities!"

Roa nodded slightly, but it seemed there wouldn't be a chance to show off the Battle Suit.

"Hehehehe! You idiot, Shadows Revolution!"

Moria laughed loudly.

Electric Blue's body suddenly stiffened, unable to move.

While he was transforming, Moria's shadow had already infiltrated his shadow and, using the theory that shadows influence the main body, directly controlled him.

Honestly, it's despicable. Who attacks during a transformation?

"That's fine."

Roa Ya interrupted, "Let's stop here."

Electric Blue is indeed very powerful. In a direct confrontation, even Moria, who has mastered Haki, cannot suppress him.

But there's no way around it, Moria's ability is too overpowered.

Electric Blue's simple, unassuming electric current is utterly insignificant compared to the Shadow-Shadow Fruit.

"Yes!"

With the Boss speaking, Moria and Electric Blue instantly fell silent.

"Very good, Judge."

Roa said approvingly, "The money was well spent."

Electric Blue is undoubtedly at the level of a Vice Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, and if he puts on his Battle Suit, he might barely reach the level of the Six Sons.

That's already quite remarkable.

The Flying Six or Charlotte Family's monster executives are powerful enough to sweep across the seas.

You're too kind!

Judge blushed with excitement. "It's what I should do!"

"However, I still have a few questions,"

"Can they get stronger through training?" Roa asked.

"This..."

Judge paused for a moment, then said apologetically, "Training probably won't make them much stronger. They are artificial beings created through modification; they were already at their peak condition the moment they stepped out of the capsule."

Is that so?

This is the difference between him and the future Sanji, Vinsmoke siblings.

"And what about the Haki?"

Roa asked, "Can they learn Haki?"

"That's Haki!"

Judge immediately declared decisively, "Homunculi are still human after all; they too possess a latent Haki!"

That's good.

Roa's eyes lit up even more.

If they also possess proficiency in both types of Haki, even without being expected to be extremely skilled, they would at least be at the level of the Six Musketeers, and wouldn't be considered weak within that level.

These elite clones have a lifespan of over twenty years, which should be more than enough for them to learn Haki.

Finally, what about Devil Fruit?

Roa asked, "Will their Lineage Factor conflict with their Devil Fruit?"

Devil Fruit are also a manifestation of Lineage Factor technology.

"That's something I've never thought about."

Judge paused for a moment.

He wanted to create androids with powerful Lineage Factor abilities; wouldn't adding Devil Fruit make them less pure?

"Then let's give it a try."

Roa said with great interest, "I happen to have Devil Fruit that I don't need."

It certainly couldn't be the Mythical Zoan, Vampire and Cerberus, but rather another Devil Fruit Roa had acquired so long ago that he had almost forgotten about it.

When Roja was asked to rescue Kaido, the members of the Beasts Pirates gave Roa two Devil Fruit as payment.

One of them is the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Ancient Zoan Pteranodon Form that Dylan ate.

The other one is the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Brachiosaurus Form, which is the power possessed by Queen in the original work. Since everyone on the ship is a Devil Fruit user, and Judge, the only one who is not a Devil Judge user, is still an office worker, this fruit has been kept.

Now is the time for him to come in handy.

Dylan quickly went and retrieved the Devil Fruit.

Roa stroked the fruit, his gaze sweeping over the five androids.

Poison, fire, lightning, gale, superhuman strength.

Finally, Roa's gaze settled on the green-haired guy to his left and right.

His ability is the most unassuming superhuman strength, and on top of that, the strongest stamina and second-fastest speed among the group, making him a numerical monster among the five.

Without a doubt, he is the most suitable candidate for Ancient Zoan Devil Fruit.

"Eat."

Roa casually tossed the fruit he was holding over.

The green-haired guy, codenamed Winch Green, snatched the Devil Fruit and took a big bite without hesitation.

At that moment, Judge's heart was in his throat.

Will Devil Fruit conflict with the Lineage Factor within artificial humans?

He wasn't sure either.

However, once a conflict arises, Winch Green will undoubtedly die!

Wasting resources is secondary; what if the boss is unhappy?

"I feel full of power!"

Suddenly, Winch Green cried out.

His body swelled up instantly, and in the blink of an eye, he transformed into a gigantic dinosaur over twenty meters long!

"It's a success!"

Judge jumped up excitedly.

It truly lives up to his reputation as one of his masterpieces! It certainly didn't disappoint him!

"Very good!"

Roa was also very satisfied.

Although his physical potential is almost exhausted, with the addition of Haki and a powerful Devil Fruit, he should have no problem reaching the level of a disaster.

Then the money was well spent!

However, Devil Fruit are hard to find, especially powerful Devil Fruit.

As expected, Artificial Devil Fruit still need to be put on the agenda.

While thinking, Roa said, "From today onwards, you are high-ranking officers of the Scourge; let's call you Calamity Knights for now."

"Yes!"

The five of them knelt down in unison before Roa.

The ordinary Clone soldiers on guard all cast complicated glances at the five knights.

Moria and Bege's expressions were also complex.

With these guys around, their position will become very awkward in the future.

However, their eyes quickly regained their fighting spirit. These guys' potential was already locked in, but they were different! Their future was bright!

One was for the sake of their colleagues who were still working, and the other was to avoid disappointing their Pops back home; both of them decided to work even harder!

A few days after the good news from the Calamity Knights, Roa received bad news.

Umit called, "Boss, we've ordered another batch of weapons from the Self-Respect Army, but they still don't seem ready to pay the final installment. They've already defaulted on payments for two batches of weapons, and I suspect they're not planning to settle the accounts."

"What?"

Roa flew into a rage, "How dare they! They actually try to get something for nothing!"

This kind of behavior must not be tolerated!

I, Luo, have always been the one who gets things for free, yet I dare to rebel against the Heavenly Gang!

I don't think they take me seriously at all!
