Fear Shockwave!

[Boom!!!]

Onigumo, watching the Huoguang rise again in the distance, was finally intrigued by CR-0's performance in actual combat and turned to look at Vinsmoke Judge once more.

"Is that 'shaving'?"

"That's right. CR-0 is a cyborg, so as long as he masters the 'Rokushiki' before undergoing the modification surgery, he can choose whether or not to use them in battle based on the AI system's judgment."

As Vinsmoke Judge answered, he recalled Vegapunk's subsequent upgrade plans for the 'Conqueror'.

This involves using Gecko Moria's Shadow-Shadow Fruit ability to remove 'CR-0's' original shadow and then replacing it with the shadow of a strong person proficient in various Physical Arts or Swordsmanship.

In this way, 'CR-0' can directly possess superb Physical Arts or Swordsmanship.

Besides.

He remembered that it mentioned transplanting the intelligent core of the 'lunar robot' into the body of 'CR-0', so that it could have stronger artificial intelligence.

But the problem lies in how to eliminate those unnecessary emotions and thoughts.

After all, the biggest hidden danger and problem for a weapon is that it might not obey orders. Then, we need to find ways to add more types of Devil Fruit abilities.

However, if all these ideas come true...

Then 'CR-0' would no longer be 'CR-0', but rather 'CR—I', 'CR-II', or 'CR-III'.

"Judging from their current performance, the combat forces below the rank of Vice Admiral are unlikely to be able to deal with this 'Conqueror,' but they are much more effective than those tanks."

Onigumo gazed at the continuous explosions and fireballs in the distance, a satisfied smile on his face. His Observation Haki allowed him to clearly sense that large swaths of life force were constantly disappearing.

"How many of these have you made?"

"There are only two test subjects right now, and this is the newest one. Onigumo Vice Admiral, your mission is to go and retrieve 'CR-0' as soon as it is defeated by the enemy."

Vinsmoke Judge watched the 'Conqueror' wreaking havoc on the screen, causing explosions wherever he went, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

Because he was not only responsible for cloning Pizarro's body, but also deeply involved in the work of constructing the Shape Memory Alloy skeleton inside the body.

It must be said that working on research and inventions with Vegapunk again must have been a rather enjoyable experience for him.

Because he could clearly feel his skill level improving rapidly during this process.

From this perspective...

Although Vinsmoke Judge still dreams of restoring the glory of the Germa Kingdom, his scientist attributes are also very obvious.

He probably didn't even realize that he had long since grown fond of this life of researching Otherworld materials, Otherworld technologies, and Vegapunk's incredible black technologies at the Academy of Sciences.

"When will mass production begin?" Onigumo asked again.

Vinsmoke Judge replied in a deep voice, "Once we've collected all the data from this battle, we'll go back and make some adjustments before finalizing the design and starting mass production. It won't take long."

"Will we be able to keep up with the conquest of this world?"

I cannot give a conclusion on that.

Onigumo calmly nodded and said nothing more, turning his gaze back to the 'Conqueror' in the distance. When he saw that the 'Conqueror' had already broken into the fortress, he immediately stepped out of the spacious military tent.

"Pass down the order: launch a general offensive immediately! We'll spend the night in that city!"

"Yes!"

On the other side, in front of the fortress walls, the area had completely descended into chaos.

A barrage of gunfire relentlessly rained down on the 'Conqueror,' while disciples of the Imperial Fist Temple and orc warriors unleashed wave after wave of attacks, each employing their extraordinary Physical Arts or abilities.

The 'Conqueror' either use 'Shave' to quickly dodge or use black matter to create their own swords, spikes, shields, or even armor to resist.

At the same time, Flash Beam shot out from his mouth and palms, blasting away countless lives.

At this point, the 'Conqueror' saw that more and more targets were approaching, and immediately decided that he should use that move to clear out the entire area.

[Buzz]

Suddenly, wisps of purplish-blue energy surged from his body. When he slammed his palms together in front of him, they rippled outwards with a loud boom.

"Well!"

"What is this? No... don't come any closer!"

"The devil! The devil is coming!"

"Aaaaaah, you damned insects, die!"

An astonishing scene unfolded: everyone swept by the purplish-blue ripples, whether ordinary Imperial soldiers, disciples of the Imperial Fist Temple, or orc warriors with Danger Beasts abilities, were affected.

They all immediately showed expressions of extreme fear, as if they had seen something utterly terrifying and fled frantically.

Some of the more aggressive individuals even launched merciless attacks on their companions.

Confusion!

Big chaos!

Within a radius of over a hundred meters, there were no longer any people attempting to continue attacking the 'Conqueror'; this was the core power of the 'Nue' form, Kabaneri.

Fear!

Originally, the Nue warriors simply compressed and gathered it to form a powerful and destructive mental energy blast.

However, Vegapunk believed that the power of fear should be used to destroy the will of living beings rather than to destroy material things. Therefore, he designed the "Fear Shockwave" for the "Conqueror" by referencing the mental impact of Conqueror's Haki.

The results now appear to be outstanding!

[Call out----]

Just then, a black shadow, as fast as lightning, leaped down from the fortress's fifteen-meter-high peak and struck the black armor on the chest of the 'Conqueror' the instant he raised his head.

[Duang!]

With a deafening roar, the massive 'Conqueror' was blasted away and crashed heavily to the ground twenty meters away.

"Don't underestimate me, you monster from Otherworld!"

A white-haired figure, about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a black general's uniform but with a strange mask on his face, stood where the 'Conqueror' had just stood, holding a peculiar longsword.

"Lieutenant Vice Admiral Nahashu!"

"Great! The Vice Admiral has made his move!"

"Hahaha, Vice Admiral Nahashu is Teigu, and the 'Water Dragon Sword' in his hand is also a Shingu. He'll definitely teach these damned invaders a lesson!"

The morale of the generals and soldiers on the fortress walls was greatly boosted.

Because Nahashu had a very high reputation in the Imperial Army, there were even rumors that he would be the next Army General.

"Um?"

At this moment, the 'Conqueror' had already stood up. His black armor and the clothes underneath were torn, clearly indicating that Nahashu's Wrath attack had been quite powerful.

When he looked down at his chest, his damaged black armor began to heal rapidly, but his clothes were beyond repair.

[Beep--------]

The Conqueror opened its mouth towards Nahashu, and a Flash Beam, dazzling to the extreme, began to condense, illuminating the terrified faces around it.

At the same time.

On the battlefield behind the lines, Onigumo's main battle division and 10,000 Auxiliary Corps finally launched a large-scale offensive!
