Germa Kingdom: After two years of continuous development, the Germa Kingdom has completely risen, not only rejoining the World Government as a member state but also annexing the territories of eight non-World Government member states, incorporating them into the Germa Kingdom's domain.
Compared to the original story where the Germa Kingdom had no territory, this is a crushing level of success, achieved in just two years.
"Hahaha! Finally completed! The Snail Ship, a massive biological vessel that can be freely controlled, able to sail freely across the seas, and obey my commands just like a clone!"
"Although the Infinite Pirates have an automated propulsion system for their ships, that system consumes a lot of energy. My Snail Ship only requires energy supplied to it, and this energy is a renewable resource!"
"The emergence of the Snail Ship signifies that the Germa Kingdom now possesses its own unique ship system!"
In the laboratory, Judge excitedly expressed his exhilaration.
Over the past two years, he has experienced smooth sailing in everything, from the kingdom's expansion to the progress of his experiments.
"Your Majesty, the Queen is about to give birth!"
A clone came to report.
"Hahaha! Double happiness! My wife is about to give birth to my greatest masterpiece!"
Upon hearing this, Judge immediately ran out in excitement.
He had been conducting experiments on clones and, based on Li Yuan's conceptual direction, aimed to create Superhumans, beings with a higher starting point than ordinary humans!
Humans with powerful physiques, bones, and the abilities of Devil Fruits—he had successfully researched this experiment.
Although this experimental nature has flaws, as it cannot be directly implanted into adults and must be applied to unborn fetuses, there is no doubt that this is Judge's most significant invention to date.
He applied it to his wife, hoping that their offspring would all possess extraordinary potential, growing into the strongest warriors of the Germa Kingdom, even rivaling the great pirates of the New World! "Your Majesty, the Queen is in labor; please wait outside!"
After arriving here, Judge found that his wife was already in labor, and he could only anxiously wait outside.
"Wow!!!!"
After waiting for about half an hour, Judge finally heard the sound of a baby crying from the room.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! The Queen has given birth to three sons and one daughter—quadruplets! Both the children and the Queen are very healthy!"
The midwife respectfully reported after coming out.
"Wife, you've worked hard!"
Judge excitedly rushed into the room, and after seeing his four children, he went to the bedside to comfort his wife.
"Dear, I'm fine!"
Vinsmoke Sora said weakly.
"Hmm, let's take a look. These four little ones are the greatest masterpieces of Germa! They will surely become unparalleled powerhouses, shouldering the responsibility of Germa's dominance over the North Sea!"
Judge said excitedly.
After spending some time with his wife, Judge took the four children to the laboratory to begin testing them with instruments.
"Hahaha! As expected, my children are inherently much stronger than ordinary children! They will surely become powerful beings like Li Yuan in the future!"
After testing with the instruments, Judge found that his children's bones were stronger than those of ordinary children, and there were latent Lineage Factors within them that had yet to awaken.
"Your Majesty, here is the latest intelligence regarding the Infinite Pirates; please take a look!"
A clone handed over the day's intelligence to Judge.
"Hmm? The World Government's Saint Mars was killed by the Captain? That's wonderful! This way, the World Government will fall into an even weaker state. This is a critical moment for the development of Germa; we must immediately continue to expand our territory. Those three non-member states that refuse to accept our rule have no reason to exist!"
Upon seeing this intelligence, Judge immediately issued orders, and the entire Germa began to take action again.
"The experiments on Superhumans and the Snail Ship have both succeeded. Let's send the experimental results and data to the Captain. Next, we should start the Raid Suit experiments!"
Judge muttered to himself.
Infinite Pirates: In Soros's laboratory, the experimental data and samples sent by Judge had all gathered here, and Soros took the time to review Judge's experimental data.
It can be said that Soros is now the chief scientist in charge of scientific experiments for the Infinite Pirates. The experimental data researched by Judge, Caesar, Yumazu, and other scientists will all be submitted to Soros for review.
"How did Judge's experiments go? Were there any issues?"
Li Yuan came to check after hearing that Judge had completed both experiments.
"The Snail Ship experiment had no issues; the cost of cultivating this marine organism is not high. However, the biological ship has a unique property: fear!"
"Once the Snail Ship is intimidated by a Conqueror's Haki user, it will lose its ability to move."
Soros explained.
"That's fine; we will only use these ships in the Four Seas and the Grand Line, where there are hardly any Conqueror's Haki users. Using the Snail Ship for transportation can greatly reduce our transportation and manpower costs. This invention is quite good!"
"Most importantly, the Snail Ship can also sail in windless zones. This biological ship is a marine organism, and even without Sea Stone, it can avoid attacks from Sea Kings, saving us a lot of costs on embedding Sea Stone into the ship."
"However, using snails as ships might be a disadvantage in terms of speed. We should have Judge improve it to enhance the sailing speed, and it will be perfect."
Li Yuan said.
"Since the Captain says so, then there should be no problem. I will discuss the improvements with Judge."
"Next is the Superhuman experiment. This experiment fundamentally alters a person's innate talent, which is a brilliant idea, but it also has significant drawbacks. Judge has eliminated excess emotions from humans, which is clearly a flaw."
Soros stated.
"Indeed, that is a major flaw. The reason humans can become powerful is that emotions are the greatest driving force. Judge is merely a scientist; he is not a powerhouse, so he foolishly believes that humans will become immensely powerful without excessive emotions or even pain!"
"That is just a one-sided understanding. Every powerhouse's emotions are their greatest motivation for becoming stronger, whether it be familial love, romantic love, friendship, ambition, desire, and so on!"
"Soros, can you find a way to eliminate this flaw? I do not want emotionless machines."
Li Yuan said.
"Eliminating many unnecessary emotions is merely a method Judge added to this experiment. As long as we remove this method, it will not affect the entire experiment."
Soros analyzed.
"Since it won't have any impact, let's begin testing. Many members of the Infinite Pirates have pregnant women in their families. Let's ask if anyone is willing to participate in this experiment. At the same time, we should also start cultivating these individuals from infancy. In twenty years, this batch can become the backbone of our Infinite Pirates."
"Also, let's see if we can directly apply that exoskeleton from the experiment to the clones. Even if the effect is slightly inferior, it's fine; at least it can enhance the combat power of the clones!"
Li Yuan said.
"Understood, Captain! I will get right on it!"
Soros replied.
"Dear, if the Superhuman experiment really succeeds, does that mean we could have many powerful warriors in twenty years? And these can be replicated, with the quantity increasing every year?"
Yadina, who was beside Li Yuan, asked in surprise after hearing about the experiment's results.
"Madam, your statement is not entirely accurate. The Superhuman experiment merely injects greater potential into newborn infants. This potential is latent and needs to be drawn out through various training and experiments later on."
"However, the potential that is drawn out varies from person to person. Some can unleash immense potential, while others may only bring out a small fraction, and some may not be able to awaken any potential at all. This carries a significant probability issue."
"Moreover, as the Captain mentioned, the birth of a powerhouse is the result of various factors coming together, not just a single aspect."
Before Li Yuan could respond, Soros answered the question from a scientific perspective.
"I see!"
Yadina seemed to understand.
"By the way, Judge should have applied this technology to his own wife and children. We should bring his wife and youngest child to live in the Limitless Sea Area. After using this technology, the pregnant woman's body will become increasingly weak, so Judge's wife should cooperate with Lazuli for treatment. We need to prepare for many such situations in the Limitless Sea Area."
Li Yuan thought of Sanji from the original story. Since Judge still, like in the original, eliminated part of his children's emotions, Sanji should still be seen as a failure in Judge's eyes, making it just right to receive early training in the Infinite Pirates.
"Hmm, dear, I know what to do!"
In Yadina's view, Li Yuan's idea was to have Judge's family live in the Limitless Sea Area to prevent Judge from betraying the Infinite Pirates, which is what one would call taking hostages.
