At that answer, Vinsmoke Judge's pupils trembled violently.
His hands shook a little.
The spear in his hand clattered to the ground.
"So that's why!!"
"In their eyes, you're me, so they won't disobey your orders at all!!!"
Vinsmoke Judge had never imagined that this was the reason.
Now, he was on the verge of a breakdown.
He had thought children like these were the perfect creations, obeying their every command.
Could it be that the one weak child who refused to listen and liked to wander off on his own was the truly perfect creation?
Vinsmoke Judge couldn't help thinking of Sanji.
"Make your choice. Will you follow me and help research the world's strongest bloodlines?"
"Or should I bury Germa 66 right here and erase it from this world?"
Uchiha Tamaharu threatened him outright.
Being a good person wasn't enough to protect your clan. Shisui had already proven that.
So Tamaharu had no intention of going soft. Being weak and spineless was a sin in itself.
"Although you've taken control of my Clone Soldiers and my sons..."
"Do you really think this is the full might of Germa 66?"
Vinsmoke Judge wasn't about to bow so easily.
If he were willing to submit, he would have been locked up by the World Government alongside Vegapunk long ago, forced to work for them!
As he spoke, he pulled a button from his clothes and pressed it.
The ground began to tremble, then split apart, separating into scattered ships.
The ships began to assemble, joining together as strange mechanical parts unfolded from them.
For some reason, Uchiha Tamaharu felt excited as he watched.
"Is this one of those giant robots that show up all the time in Super Sentai, one of the Big Three tokusatsu shows?"
Watching the huge spectacle unfold, Uchiha Tamaharu suddenly found himself fascinated.
Itachi and Izumi jumped off the ship and stood on the heaving surface of the sea, watching in shock.
Just as Uchiha Tamaharu had imagined,
Germa 66's moving island gradually took the shape of a giant humanoid machine.
The castle's enormous gate became the machine's head, while the castle behind it rose up like a crown, forming the top of the giant's head.
But most of the giant machine's components were concentrated around its feet, which had to keep it afloat on the sea.
"This is the true power of Germa 66!"
"It's this power that makes Germa 66 the ruler of the North Blue!!!"
Vinsmoke Judge declared proudly.
Although he personally pursued the power of Lineage Factors, he had learned a thing or two from Vegapunk during their years working together. Of course, Vegapunk had also learned about Lineage Factors from him.
They rarely used this form because it consumed a great deal of energy and left them with heavy losses afterward. There was too much to repair.
It was practically a one-use creation.
But it was worth it!
"This is a giant weapon with no consciousness, one that I control completely."
"It's stronger than the Giants. One strike is enough to destroy dozens of square meters of buildings!"
"You're helpless against this, aren't you?"
"Give up and let me study this so-called Uchiha bloodline. Let's see if it's really as powerful as you claim!"
Vinsmoke Judge had finally regained some confidence.
He taunted Uchiha Tamaharu outright!
Being beaten by his three dutiful sons had been unbearable.
Now he would show this so-called Shichibukai what despair felt like!
"I recognize your research capabilities!"
"Even if your research into Lineage Factors is only so-so, this weapon alone is enough to make you my subordinate."
Uchiha Tamaharu spoke excitedly.
Having this man develop new ninja tools would definitely help the Uchiha Clan greatly improve its combat capabilities.
"Are you still spouting such nonsense?"
"I'm the stronger one now!"
Vinsmoke Judge roared.
"In that case, I, Uchiha Tamaharu, will have to show some of my strength too. I can't let people underestimate me!"
"This is the power of the Uchiha bloodline!"
As Uchiha Tamaharu finished speaking,
his Sharingan spun rapidly, transforming into the Mangekyo.
A dark-red Susanoo skeleton appeared in an instant. It grew into a humanoid figure, layer by layer, until armor covered its body.
A long katana appeared at its waist, making it look like a mighty samurai.
Susanoo Gundam!
The two were almost the same height, facing off like a pair of giants.
"What is this?!"
"Is this another power granted by that bloodline???"
Watching through the control room's monitors, Vinsmoke Judge stared at the giant figure, almost as tall as Germa 66's ultimate weapon.
He couldn't believe this power came from a bloodline!
If such a bloodline really existed, wouldn't its owners have conquered the world long ago? How could the Celestial Dragons have ruled it for so many years?
"It's over!"
Uchiha Tamaharu had no intention of testing the giant machine's combat strength.
This thing really wasn't much to look at. It just seemed impressive.
But under the Mangekyo's gaze, it was full of openings. Tamaharu could see the Clone Soldiers' control rooms scattered throughout the machine.
"The battle isn't over yet!"
"Germa 66's ultimate weapon, attack!!"
Vinsmoke Judge roared.
He controlled the ultimate weapon and swung its enormous fist at Susanoo.
"Pfft!"
As the fist swung forward, three launchers on its back blasted out powerful flames, increasing its speed and power.
At the same time, the ships beneath its feet, arranged like tank treads, began moving rapidly, carrying the giant toward Susanoo.
Susanoo placed its right hand on the katana at its waist and drew it in one swift motion.
The blade glowed blue-white as it left the scabbard, arcs of electricity dancing along it. Uchiha Tamaharu had imbued it with Lightning Style chakra nature transformation.
Susanoo charged forward across the sea.
It turned slightly and dodged the so-called ultimate weapon's attack.
Then its katana swept upward, cutting from the weapon's left leg all the way to its left shoulder.
The ultimate weapon was cleaved in two with ease!
The change in the support structure sent its fist swinging off course. It spun to the left and struck the severed side of its body before it could fall.
"Boom!"
A massive blast of force erupted, and a mushroom cloud rose into the sky, sending up enormous waves.
Uchiha Tamaharu looked back at the giant machine that had excited him only moments ago and felt a little underwhelmed.
He dispelled Susanoo and dropped from the air onto the heaving sea.
Vinsmoke Judge had only just managed to escape from the control room, using his raid suit to stand in midair.
"How could I lose so easily...?"
Vinsmoke Judge struggled to accept it.
"If you knew Busoshoku Haki and could cover the machine with it, you might have had a chance."
"But you're too weak!"
Uchiha Tamaharu said bluntly.
Without Haki, how could the machine withstand a cut imbued with Lightning Style chakra nature transformation?
Especially when it was made of metal.
It was completely countered.
This was all made up, so just bear with it.
