Originally, Rocks would definitely have refused to clone himself.

But in order to save his eldest son, Teach, Rocks could only accept Houka's plan.

This time, they would not only clone a Rocks nearly identical to the original.

They would also add Lunarian Tribe bloodline to create a Seraphim Rocks.

When Davy Jones discovered that there were two Rocks for him to choose from, he might fall into Houka's broken-window-effect trap and voluntarily leave Teach's body.

Many old schemers loved presenting choices for young people to step into, trapping them within a fixed circle.

Only some clever people could break free from this kind of choice-based trap, choose another option, or even flip the table entirely.

Why did he have to choose from the options offered by others or his enemies?

While Davy Jones contemplated whether to seize Clone Rocks or Seraphim Rocks, Houka's true goal was merely to make him leave Teach's body.

Houka had even planted control traps within both clones.

Houka also wanted to test exactly how Davy Jones appeared within members of the Davy Clan through the power of bloodlines and contracts.

He did not know whether Seraphim Rocks, enhanced with Lunarian Tribe bloodline, could still allow Davy Jones to directly "possess" him.

Houka felt this comparative experiment was very necessary.

Perhaps the Davy Clan's tradition of marrying members of the D Clan—and that of some D Clan members specifically seeking out others of the D Clan to marry—hid some kind of inherited power.

Taking advantage of the launch of the Clone Rocks project, as well as Vegapunk's breakthrough in Seraphim technology, the blood samples of major officers that had been collected long ago were all incorporated into the Seraphim project.
