Science Department's Proposal
Niji and Yonji, who had been leisurely, suddenly stood up, their whole bodies tensing up.
And immediately, they put on their team uniforms.
Reiju is the same.
The three stared intently at Moke was also sizing them up, especially after they donned their battle suits...
You know what?
These team uniforms are truly something to look forward to!
Especially Sanji, that guy's uniform. Just thinking about it makes me envious!
It's every man's dream!
"May I ask what brings you here...?" Reiju adopted a very humble attitude, even using a respectful form of address when addressing Moke.
At the same time, I felt a little flustered.
There was also a hint of shyness.
You should know that her Pops, Judge, had arranged for her to marry Moke, thus forming a political alliance between the two families.
She was somewhat unwilling, but she couldn't say no to her Pops.
But the moment she saw Moke, her heart fluttered. Because Moke was not only of the highest status and position in the world, but also one of the best.
They not only possess strength, but have also reached the pinnacle of the world.
Most importantly, he is extremely handsome.
However, he is handsome yet possesses a heroic air. He doesn't come across as overly feminine because of his good looks.
On the contrary, it gives people a sense of superiority and Haki.
His disdainful gaze is particularly captivating. A marriage alliance with him wouldn't be so bad.
If it's this guy, why is he here?
Reiju was filled with doubt.
Moke, however, acted as if he were in his own home, walking step by step toward the three of them, and then finding a seat to sit down on his own.
He then laughed and said, "I came to find you out of curiosity. What's wrong with us? Why are you jumping in to stand up for the Navy?"
Reiju: "Huh?"
Niji and Yonji exchanged a glance, their eyes also filled with doubt.
When did they ever stand up for the navy?
They had absolutely no connection whatsoever with the Moke Pirates. Even if there were, that would be a matter for later, after Pops formally proposed the marriage...
But now...
Reiju frowned, her mind racing, and then she realized what was going on.
"You..."
Reiju stared at Moke, her eyes filled with horror. She simply couldn't imagine what would happen if her guess was correct.
Then North Blue will undergo a dramatic transformation.
Moreover, her Pops's ambition to dominate the North Blue is likely to be extinguished.
To confirm whether her thoughts were correct, Reiju tentatively asked, "Is Cavendish one of yours?"
"What?!"
Before Moke could speak, Niji and Yonji exclaimed in surprise.
His expression immediately changed drastically.
If that's the case, then everything makes sense.
From this perspective, isn't it fair to say that Germa 66 stood up for the Navy and dealt with Moke?
I was covered in cold sweat.
The two clenched their fists, fully alert, ready to strike without hesitation should Moke make the slightest move.
"We, Germa 66, didn't know Cavendish was one of yours before," Reiju explained immediately, because she understood.
This guy in front of me, once he gets angry...
If they had the strength to wipe out all three of them, plus those three thousand soldiers.
Therefore, they are very tactful in their speech.
She didn't want to anger this person. Otherwise, they might be doomed here today.
Moke couldn't help but laugh upon seeing this, "Now you know!"
After saying that, he looked at Reiju meaningfully.
"Okay, we'll get right now..." Reiju replied immediately.
But halfway through her sentence, her expression changed drastically. She had realized the crucial point: Cavendish Moke had pushed to the front.
Moke did this clearly because he didn't want anyone to know.
He was the mastermind behind all of this.
Unfortunately, she, Niji, and Yonji now know the truth.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes.
If it were her, she would definitely choose to eliminate all those who knew the truth. Instantly, Reiju also assumed a fighting stance.
"Hey, hey, hey... no need for that... I have no intention of fighting you." Moke waved his hand, his tone very calm.
"???"
Reiju looked completely bewildered.
But thinking about it carefully, it does seem to be true.
If Moke wanted to make a move, he would have done so the moment he appeared. Why waste time talking to them?
"Call..."
Reiju let out a deep breath, and her heart, which had been in her throat, finally settled back down.
Finally, with a hint of awe, he asked, "So what do you mean?"
"I've come here this time to talk to your Pops... To be honest, I want to cooperate with him and jointly control the North Blue..."
"Sharing control of the North Blue?" Reiju exclaimed in surprise.
Moke's words were completely unexpected.
Given the strength of the Moke Pirates, it's possible for them to cooperate with Germa 66.
Sharing control of North Blue?
Hehe...
She simply didn't believe it, because if Germa 66 had the strength of the Moke Pirates, there was absolutely no way they could share control of the North Blue with a force far weaker than themselves.
Unless there's something... that they don't have, but is of great value, they can exchange it for.
But what kind of thing could the Moke Pirates trade half of the North Blue for?
Science and technology!
That's right, it's technology.
Lineage Factor, Modified Humans, Clone Soldiers, Raid Suit.
Reiju immediately realized this, because compared to the Moke Pirates, Germa 66's strength was what they could offer, and what Moke valued.
But these are the very foundation upon which Germa 66 stands.
How could Pops Judge possibly let go?
Let alone half of North Blue, even the entire North Blue would not be handed over!
Reiju took several deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. She then asked Moke, voicing her suspicions. "You... you wouldn't be thinking of trading half of the North Blue for Germa 66's technology, would you?"
Upon hearing this, Moke's eyes lit up.
It has to be said that Reiju is truly a smart person. She can think of many things immediately, even with just a little bit of information.
To be honest!
The strength of Germa 66 is quite impressive.
Judge, Reiju, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are all at least at the level of elite Navy Vice Admiral. In particular, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are definitely at the Sweet Commander Level.
If he could bring all five of them under his command, his power in North Blue would be basically secured.
Most importantly, he is the most famous scientist in the world of One Piece.
Vegapunk, Queen, Caesar Courant... Queen and Caesar Courant are already under his command.
If we could also take in Judge.
Then he could assemble the strongest science trio besides Vegapunk.
However, it must be said that Vegapunk truly deserves to be called the world's greatest scientist. The same thing, in his hands, can unleash even greater power.
For example, Lineage Factor...
