Chapter 180
It can also prevent some random scum from making a fool of themselves.
During the time they occupied the Dunas Kingdom, they dealt with quite a few inexplicable pirates and human traffickers.
"Lord Night King!"
Salt was equally excited, "Where to begin? Who's the first target?"
"The target is this entire sea area."
Naito said calmly.
The first evolution was built upon millions of Hub.
The number of Hub required for the next evolution will likely be far greater than that.
This is no longer a goal that can be achieved by occupying one or two countries.
Let's set our sights on seizing this sea area between Kaido's and Whitebeard's two major powers for now.
"This entire sea area?"
Buckingham thought for a moment and said, "In that case, Lord Night King will inevitably clash with Hachinosu."
"If Ochoku is determined to seek his own death,"
Naito said nonchalantly, "Then let him have his way."
After witnessing Ochoku's battle with Kaido, Naito didn't think that the veteran was insurmountable.
"Hahaha! You're absolutely right!"
Anthony burst into laughter, "What is that old bastard Ochoku! Lord Night King is the true ruler of this sea!"
Looking back now, I'm so glad I was released from Impel Down by the Night King!
If I hadn't been following behind this great man, I wouldn't have been able to enter the City of Dreams and enjoy unprecedented bliss, and I wouldn't even have had the chance to see the most magnificent scenery of this ocean!
"Once the beast army is complete, let's begin our operation."
Naito said.
"I'll speed things up."
Luna said in a deep voice.
Previously, to prevent the Golden Lion from discovering that the Dunas Kingdom was its lair, Naito had the Golden Lion park the island of the beast some distance away from this area.
So it's quite troublesome to get supplies now.
Thankfully, there was Zeus.
Zeus has merged with the cloud island beneath his feet, and can now carry everyone anywhere.
"By the way, Lord Night King,"
Buckingham suddenly realized something, "Half of the first batch of Artificial Devil Fruit was given to Gaston, and the other half is to be sent to Kaido?"
"Send it."
Naito didn't care at all. "They're nothing special anyway. It's good enough that Kaido doesn't bother us."
Without this alliance, the Beasts Pirates would certainly not stand idly by as their expansion continues.
"Understood."
Buckingham nodded. "Then I'll arrange for someone to deliver it to the Beasts Pirates immediately."
Naito glanced at her again. "How's the improvement of the Artificial Devil Fruit going?"
Modern Artificial Devil Fruit are simply the result of forcibly implanting animal Lineage Factor into the human body; they are completely different from genuine Zoan Devil Fruit.
"We've achieved some results."
"At least the success rate of the second batch of Artificial Devil Fruit planted so far should be around 50%," said Buckingham.
"The effect hasn't improved much yet."
"Too slow."
Naito frowned. "What is Caesar doing? Wasn't he supposed to be trying to steal Vegapunk's technology?"
"This--"
Buckingham was sweating profusely. "Vegapunk has been working on replicating the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit under the government's supervision, so Caesar hasn't had much opportunity to contact him."
"Fine, I'll add one more person to your team."
That's what Naito said.
"Ah?"
Buckingham was taken aback.
Judging by the timeline, the Germa Kingdom should be far removed from Mary Geoise by now, right?
It's time for Judge to return to his rightful place.
And so, not long after.
In a sea area of New World, under the cover of night, a massive snail fleet rumbles forward.
On the back of a snail, the clone soldier on routine patrol suddenly changed his expression.
Naito blinked, Observation Haki instantly enveloped the entire fleet.
Oh, I found it.
Judge's presence is quite obvious; there's no need to exert much effort.
Then, let's drift into a dream.
After upgrading his abilities, he doesn't even need to get close to Judge; he can activate his dream-entering ability right here.
In any case, given Judge's willpower, it's unlikely he could resist his own abilities.
Sure enough, almost instantly, Naito had successfully dragged Judge's consciousness into the Dream World.
Welcome to the Dream World, Judge.
Chapter 124: Judge's Submission, Yamato and Whitebeard
"Um?"
Judge blinked, somewhat bewildered. "Where am I?"
He suddenly appeared in a vast and boundless universe, with a huge blue star below him.
Am I dreaming?
Judge frantically searched his own body.
Wrong!
It's not a dream!
Even in a so-called lucid dream, one's consciousness could not possibly be so clear!
Moreover, when the hands touch the body, the body will have a very clear feeling, and even a slight pinch can cause pain.
This is absolutely real!
How did I end up in the vast universe after just one night's sleep?
Surely, it's impossible that while I was asleep, my fleet was hit by a meteorite and I was thrown directly into space, right?
Judge couldn't understand.
"Vinsmoke Judge."
A strange electronic sound, mixed with extremely indistinct noise, suddenly rang out from behind.
"Huh?"
Judge turned around in surprise and saw a humanoid figure radiating a faint light.
It was impossible to tell whether it was male or female, let alone determine its exact identity.
Judge was startled and instinctively floated backward. "Who are you? Did you bring me here?!"
This is bad!
If someone could truly bring you into the universe without anyone noticing, then no matter how you look at it, that person would be terrifying!
"Vinsmoke Judge,"
Naito calmly looked at the man whose face showed a hint of fear. "I need your research abilities. Submit to me."
"Submission?"
Judge was slightly taken aback, then gritted his teeth, "What are you talking about? Who do you think I am?!"
Although he was quite a bully who preyed on the weak, Judge wasn't entirely a coward, especially when it came to his dream of reviving the Vinsmoke Family.
Judge's lifelong dream is to revive the Vinsmoke Family and reclaim the entire North Blue.
If he submits to someone else, what's the point of talking about becoming the King of the North Blue again?
Is that so?
Naito wasn't surprised, and simply nodded slightly. "It seems you not only don't understand me, but you also don't understand yourself."
"What?"
Judge was still somewhat bewildered, not understanding what this guy was talking about.
Then, in the next instant.
"Wow!!"
His body began to twist and deform in various ways.
Crushed, torn apart, burned, struck by lightning...
At first, Judge could still let out a shrill scream, but soon he couldn't even scream anymore.
Naito simply watched quietly.
About ten minutes later, Naito stopped his power, allowing Judge to return to human form.
"Wow!!"
Judge screamed pitifully again, almost with tears streaming down his face, and in extreme fear, he reached out to push Naito away while his body drifted backward uncontrollably.
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!!"
Answer me again, Judge.
Naito's tone was completely calm. "Yes, or no?"
Judge's voice stopped abruptly, his face froze, and he stared blankly at Naito with wide eyes.
No need to rush.
