"Lord Kazu, you must be tired from your long journey. I'll have some wine and food prepared so we can rest for a bit and I can show you some hospitality. What do you say?"
Judge secretly wished that Kazu and his gang would just shut up, but he remained incredibly polite to them.
"No need for a meal."
"Luo, take his heart out."
"Clear."
At Kazu's command, Law leaped and appeared in front of Judge.
"Don't worry, I'm very skilled, it won't hurt."
Law's voice sounded like a demon's whisper to him. Judge quickly looked towards Kazu and said, " Her Kazi, I already promised you the battle suit and my daughter, why are you still trying to kill me?!"
"Don't worry, you won't die. I just want to leave you something."
With a wave of his hand, Kazu instantly enveloped Judge's body with a force of space and time.
The next second, he couldn't move a single finger, nor could he speak.
Taking advantage of the situation, Law pulled out Judge's heart. The heart was still beating in Law's hand, and Judge just watched his heart leave him, a very bizarre scene.
" Space Mark!"
A small silver-white mark appeared on Judge's heart, and then, at Kazu's prompting, Law put the heart back into Judge.
Sensing the disappearance of the spatial and temporal forces, Judge regained his freedom of movement.
He gasped for breath, a few drops of cold sweat trickling down his forehead, a wave of fear washing over him.
What did you just leave in my heart?
Judge looked at Kazu's indifferent expression, unable to discern what the other man meant. Was it to intimidate him?
In terms of effectiveness, it is indeed perfect.
He didn't want to experience that feeling of being completely restrained, that despair of having no control over his own life or death, again.
"That's my Space Mark. No matter where you are, I can appear beside you in the next moment."
After saying that, Kazu tossed a Den Den Mushi to the other party.
"Contact me using this Den Den Mushi once the combat suit is finished. I'll come pick it up myself."
Kazu made it sound so easy, Judge knew with a grain of salt that he would be living under Kazu's tyranny from now on.
Because he knew in his heart that even if he handed over the combat suit to Kazu, Kaz would not cancel the Space Mark on his heart.
He couldn't resist and could only obediently comply, unless he didn't want his heart anymore.
Well, it's better than death. Thinking about it that way, it doesn't seem like such a bad outcome.
Perhaps, considering his daughter and the lifetime warranty on his battle suit, he might receive assistance from the Blond Hair Pirates if he were in danger, though the chances are slim.
Kazu certainly didn't mean to give him any special treatment; he was simply afraid that Judge would run away.
He couldn't just stand there and wait to finish manufacturing his combat suit. What if he left Space Mark on the ship and the enemy changed ships?
It's safer to leave it in his heart. If he uses medical technology to get a heart transplant, it will trigger the backup plan left by Kazu.
Kazu can sense the moment his heart leaves his body.
He just didn't tell Judge that.
"I..."
"I understand, Kazu Kaz."
Judge felt like he was having the worst day ever. He, who always controlled others, was now being controlled by others.
It's like someone who's spent their whole life hunting geese has had their eye pecked out by a goose today.
"Take Reiju inside now and relinquish control. We need to get on our way and leave this place."
"Yes, I will do it as soon as possible."
Judge led Reiju into the laboratory, while Kazu and the others casually toured the Saint Germain.
Whether they liked it or not, no one dared to stand up and stop them.
"My God, there are so many artificial soldiers here."
"Look at the dates. It's only been a few years, and they've already grown into adults. This is simply against the laws of nature."
"That's probably the power of science and technology."
The group strolled around casually, took a quick look around, and then returned to the deck.
They couldn't understand the experimental data on the table either, Kazu casually put it into his Independent Space.
Whether it's useful or not, I'll take it first. What if I meet an interesting scientist later? Then I'll have something to offer to entice them.
A few minutes later, Judge came out with Reiju.
" Kazu Kaz, I entrust my daughter to you from now on. I hope that our Vinsmoke Family can forge a deep friendship with the Blond Hair Pirates."
Since he couldn't resist, he tried to say something nicer; this was his last act of defiance.
Kazu didn't answer him, but simply nodded, then extended his right hand towards Reiju and said, "Let's go, beautiful Reiju."
"Board my ship and begin a new life."
Reiju stopped pretending at this moment, a smile appeared on her face, and she also reached out her right hand to grasp Kazu's large hand.
"Yes, I hope Captain Kazu will take good care of me in the future."
