I Have Been Sleeping Among Pirates For A Hundred Years

The Kingdom of Germa is a country without a territory, formed only by the merger of dozens of giant snail ships.

Even so, it still has an army that makes the world fearful and a unique scientific research force.

But at this moment, this invincible country is facing a huge disaster.

There were nearly a thousand corpses of soldiers lying strewn along the shore of the snail boat.

besides,

Iji, Niji, Yuji and Reiju were covered with all kinds of tragic injuries. If it weren't for their superhuman physical fitness, I'm afraid they would have become one of the corpses at this moment.

But even so, they were in a state of near-death at this moment.

Joel, standing in a sea of ​​blood and corpses, slowly released a soldier's neck and let him fall to the ground weakly. Then he looked at Judge, who had never made a move:

"Okay... my patience has reached its limit. Make your final choice, Vinsmoke. Judge."

The tragedy in front of him made Judge tremble. His broken eyes refocused and he suppressed the fear in his heart and said:

"I should not break the contract between my ancestors and you. Vinsmoke will definitely obey your orders from now on!"

"Grandpa Li En, why can our family prosper and develop?"

"Because that adult helped us, Vinsmoke, who was at the bottom, ushered in a turning point in fate.

But the price is... Vinsmoke will be loyal to that master for generations to come, until he dies! "

In a daze, Vinsmoke Rean's vague words became clear and powerful again, echoing in Judge's ears.

He regretted why he acquiesced to Iji and the others to provoke Xue Tong today, and regretted that he blindly and arrogantly believed that Vinsmoke's power had surpassed the other party.

"It seems that at the crossroads of destiny..."

The blood-red color in Joel's eyes gradually dimmed, and a faint joke appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Vinsmoke chose the right path again."

"Xuetong... Sir, Vinsmoke. Judge is willing to be loyal to you."

Judge took a deep breath, completely put down the dignity of North Blue's top royal family, and knelt down.

Joel regained his calm expression:

"I only came to you this time to do two things. But I am not in the mood today. I will give you some time to clean up the place. I will come back in two days."

Judge raised his head and watched Joel's back slowly leave. Then he stood up and looked around at the bodies on the shore. He was silent for a long, long time.

…

Two days later.

"Just start construction according to the castle design I delivered."

Joel walked along the underground corridor of Germa Castle.

That's one of the reasons he's here.

The fact that the Kingdom of Germa was able to build a huge castle on dozens of snail ships and still stand tall is enough to prove that their technology and experience in this area are quite mature.

and,

The tireless clones in the Kingdom of Germa can work day and night, which can greatly speed up the completion of the castle.

"One more thing..." Joel's voice paused slightly.

Judge led the way, "Please speak, Lord Xue Tong."

Although he is the head of a country, such honorific titles no longer make Judge feel uncomfortable and embarrassed.

The buffering period of these two days made him fully understand it in his uneasiness and helplessness.

Under absolute force, resistance is meaningless and will only lead to the decline and destruction of the family.

Why not just enjoy the happiness of being a subordinate honestly...

What's more, it is an indisputable fact that the two parties had a contract a hundred years ago.

Surrender is the best and there is no other way out.

"I need to use Vinsmoke's scientific research technology to inhibit the activity of Devil Fruit and complete the self-transformation of bloodline factors."

Joel spoke calmly and explained the biggest purpose of his trip.

The perfect blood factor that bloomed from the Seven-Star Sword still remains independently in his body.

During these days, he suddenly realized a new possibility.

Perhaps, this perfect blood factor can "cover" part of the blood factor in his body that contains the Devil Fruit ability.

Or so to speak.

It can "blank out" a part of one's body to become a new Devil Fruit ability carrier.

Although,

There is a danger in this idea, as it may make Devil Fruit's abilities unstable.

But if he succeeds, his abilities can be further extended and expanded.

Joel doesn't think this approach is risky or extreme.

In the eyes of the world, he deservedly stood at the pinnacle of that era.

But only he himself knew what a powerful behemoth he was facing!

With his strength, he is still unable to overthrow the most powerful force in the world.

In this era of great pirates, there are countless powerful enemies. Only by transcending them all can he move towards the final battle.

"Transforming bloodline factors..."

The calm tone fell on Judge's ears, but it was particularly deafening.

As one of the first researchers to study bloodline factors, he clearly observed the basic structure of bloodline factors.

This is an extremely stable double helix structure that cannot be changed from the inside.

Only by injecting new spiritual energy can it be guided to achieve self-change.

Even he had to go through countless failures and more than ten years of hard work before finally obtaining the improved bloodline factor and injecting it into the embryo.

Although this practice caused the body of his wife Vinsmoke Sola to reject it,

She fell into extreme postpartum weakness and eventually died.

But he also obtained a loyal super genetic warrior whose physical fitness far exceeds that of ordinary humans.

However, this is just an example.

Even after so many years, he could no longer complete the reproduction of the improved bloodline factor.

If it were so easy and simple, so many of Germa's die-hard soldiers might become even better and more powerful super warriors.

Instead of appearing as cannon fodder most of the time.

Therefore, even if Xue Tong has a strong ability to control blood, if he wants to complete the transformation of blood factors,

Not only does it require enough luck and experience, but it also requires a very long process.

This process... may be as short as a few years or as long as decades.

"Lord Xue Tong, have you thought about it...?"

Judge hesitated for a moment and then asked.

"Do as I say."

Joel walked into the underground warehouse and passed through the densely packed petri dishes of clones.

Judge said no more and led Joel to the main research room of the underground warehouse.

Amidst the sound of gear machinery turning, the door slowly opened, revealing a variety of experimental artifacts inside.

In the center of the main room, there is a huge culture container connected to densely packed tubes.

Surrounding the container are six cylindrical containers containing different liquids.

"Then, let's get started."

Joel took off his clothes and stepped into the culture container naked.
