Hearing this answer, Vinsmoke Judge's pupils shook violently.
His hands trembled slightly.
The spear in his hand clattered as it fell directly onto the ground.
"So that was the reason!!"
"In their eyes, you are me, so they wouldn't resist your orders at all!!!"
Vinsmoke Judge had never even considered that this could be the reason.
At this moment, he was on the verge of a breakdown.
He had originally thought that these children were the most perfect ones, completely obedient to his commands.
Was the only one who was weak, disobedient, and liked to run off on his own actually the truly perfect creation?
Vinsmoke Judge couldn't help but think of Sanji at this moment.
"Make your choice: choose to follow me and research the strongest bloodlines in the world."
"Or let me bury Germa 66 right here and make Germa 66 disappear from this world entirely."
Uchiha Tamaharu spoke up, issuing a direct threat.
Being a good person wasn't enough to protect one's clan; Shisui had already proven that.
Therefore, he wouldn't have any thoughts of softening his heart; being weak and soft was the original sin.
"Although you have controlled my Clone Soldiers and my sons."
"Do you really think this is the true power of Germa 66?"
Vinsmoke Judge naturally wouldn't bow his head so easily.
If he were willing to bow his head, he would have been locked up by the World Government long ago, working for them alongside Vegapunk!
As his voice fell, he pulled a button from his person and pressed it directly.
The entire ground began to tremble, then split apart, transforming into individual, scattered ships.
Then, these ships began to combine and assemble, extending strange mechanical parts.
Uchiha Tamaharu watched this movement, feeling inexplicably excited.
"Could this be the giant robot that frequently appears in the Super Sentai series of the three major tokusatsu?"
Watching this massive commotion, Uchiha Tamaharu suddenly became very interested.
Itachi and Izumi both jumped off the ship, standing on the undulating sea surface, watching this scene in shock.
Just as Uchiha Tamaharu had imagined.
The moving islands of Germa 66 gradually formed the shape of a giant humanoid machine.
The castle-sized gate from before had turned into the head of this humanoid machine, and the castle behind it rose up like a crown, forming the top of the giant machine's head.
However, the area beneath the feet of this giant machine was where the most components were gathered, as it was necessary to keep this mechanical giant afloat on the sea.
"This is the true power of Germa 66!"
"It is precisely because it possesses this power that Germa 66 is the hegemon of the North Blue!!!"
Vinsmoke Judge said this with great dominance.
Although he personally pursued the power of the Lineage Factor, during those years working with Vegapunk, he had learned a thing or two from him—and of course, Vegapunk had also learned about the Lineage Factor from him.
This form was rarely used because it consumed a massive amount of energy and resulted in heavy losses afterward, requiring too many repairs.
It was almost a one-time-use creation.
But, it was worth it!
"This is a giant weapon with no consciousness, controlled entirely by me."
"Its power is greater than that of the Giants, and a single strike is enough to destroy dozens of square meters of buildings!"
"You're helpless against this, aren't you!"
"Obediently give up your resistance and let me study whether the so-called Uchiha bloodline is really as powerful as you say it is!"
Vinsmoke Judge finally regained some of his confidence.
He then directly provoked Uchiha Tamaharu!
The feeling of being beaten by his three "filial" sons just now had been incredibly unbearable for him.
Now, he wanted to make this so-called Shichibukai experience what despair felt like!
"Your research capabilities have earned my recognition!"
"Even if your research ability regarding the so-called Lineage Factor is mediocre, this weapon alone is enough to make you my subordinate."
Uchiha Tamaharu said with great excitement.
Having this guy develop new ninja tools would definitely help the Uchiha Clan significantly increase their combat capabilities.
"Are you still spouting such foolish nonsense?"
"Now, I am the stronger one!"
Vinsmoke Judge roared in anger.
"In that case, I, Uchiha Tamaharu, must also show some real strength; I can't let myself be looked down upon!"
"This is the power possessed by the Uchiha bloodline!"
As Uchiha Tamaharu's voice fell.
His Sharingan spun rapidly, transforming directly into the appearance of the Mangekyo.
A dark red skeleton of the Susanoo quickly emerged, forming a humanoid shape from the inside out, followed by armor manifesting over it.
A long katana appeared at its waist, making it look like a formidable samurai.
Susanoo Gundam!
The heights of both sides were almost identical, like two giants confronting each other.
"What is this!!"
"Is this also a power brought about by that bloodline???"
Vinsmoke Judge watched through the monitors in the control room, staring at the giant humanoid that was nearly the same height as his ultimate Germa 66 power.
He found it hard to believe that this was a power derived from a bloodline!
If such a bloodline truly existed, it should have ruled the world long ago; how could it have allowed the Celestial Dragons to control the world for so many years?
"It's over!"
Uchiha Tamaharu had no intention of testing the combat power of this giant machine.
Because this thing was truly lacking; it only looked impressive.
But under the lock-on of the Mangekyo, it was full of openings, and he could see many areas where the control rooms for the Clone Soldiers were located.
"The battle hasn't been decided yet!"
"Germa 66 ultimate weapon, attack!!"
Vinsmoke Judge bellowed.
At the same time, he controlled the ultimate weapon, swinging its massive fist toward the Susanoo.
"Pfft!"
As the fist swung out, three thrusters behind it erupted with powerful flames, increasing the speed and power of the strike.
Simultaneously, the ship-like treads beneath its feet began to move rapidly, carrying the giant as it charged toward the Susanoo.
But on the Susanoo's side, it placed its right hand directly on the katana at its waist and drew it.
The katana, pulled from its scabbard, emitted a blue-white glow with electric arcs dancing across it, as Uchiha Tamaharu had imbued it with Lightning Style nature transformation.
The Susanoo stepped onto the sea surface and charged forward.
With a slight sidestep, it dodged the attack from the so-called ultimate weapon.
At the same time, the katana slashed from bottom to top, cutting directly from the ultimate weapon's left leg to its left shoulder.
It easily cleaved the ultimate weapon in two!
Because the supporting structure was compromised, the trajectory of the fist shifted, causing it to rotate to the left and strike the severed body that had not yet fallen.
"Boom!"
A massive explosion surged outward, a mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and huge waves were kicked up.
Uchiha Tamaharu turned to look at the giant machine that had just excited him, feeling a sense of dullness.
He then dispelled the Susanoo and landed from mid-air onto the swaying sea.
He looked at Vinsmoke Judge, who had managed to crawl out of the control room and was hovering in the air using his raid suit.
"How could... how could I lose so easily!"
Vinsmoke Judge found it hard to accept.
"If you knew Busoshoku Haki and could coat this machine with it, perhaps you could have put up a fight."
"But, you are too weak!"
Uchiha Tamaharu said bluntly.
Without Haki, how could it withstand a cutting attack imbued with Lightning Style nature transformation?
Especially when it was made of metal.
It was countered perfectly.
Just writing randomly, bear with it.
