Grand Line’s Lord Of Shadows

And at this moment, next to the Thriller Bark.

The Germa's snail battleship was parked there.

"Judge, how's the research going?"

In a spacious laboratory, Luke, who was wearing a medical bandage, leaned against the wall, folded his arms and asked: 

"Can SIQ Serum and lineage factor technology be perfectly combined?"

"Completely possible…"

On the experimental bench, a tall figure in a white coat was observing something through a high-power microscope.

His voice was somewhat excited: "Luke-sama, this is exactly what I, or the former Vinsmoke Judge, have dreamed of!"

It was the special zombie, Vinsmoke Judge, who had traveled to Baldimore, the future kingdom in the first half of the Grand Line, to look for the technologies that Dr. Vegapunk left in the laboratory when he was young!

Early this morning, he had just arrived here and met up with Luke and others.

Under Luke's instructions, he couldn't wait to study the SIQ Serum.

"As long as the research is successful, you can definitely become the most perfect lineage, factor-transform warrior!" Judge reluctantly put down the microscope, turned around, and said to Luke.

After directly obtaining Dr. Indigo's memory through shadow and acquiring a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of SIQ Serum, combining the lineage factor-related technology in his brain, he was confident of creating the most perfect lineage factor transformation.

"How long will it take?" Luke asked directly.

He has no objection to becoming a person transformed by lineage factors.

Because that is actually a genetic warrior, not a modified person like Franky.

He still has a normal flesh and blood body… But it has been greatly strengthened.

Only in this way can he compete head-on with those real monsters in the shortest possible time or even surpass them.

"That guy, Vinsmoke Judge, once conducted research in this area during his lifetime, trying to turn himself into a person like his children…"

"Unfortunately, it all ended in failure. Without exception, those experimental subjects all died due to the collapse of the gene chain…

"Although this research failed and the project was abandoned by him, the experimental data sealed by him can save me a lot of detours."

"Don't worry, it will only take at most half a year, no, three months..." Judge clenched his fists and said with confidence: "In three months, I will be able to create the most perfect lineage factor transformation!"

"Then I'll be waiting for your good news!"

Luke nodded with satisfaction.

He was looking forward to it.

It was only three months; he could certainly afford to wait.

Thinking of something, Luke then asked: "By the way, how is the research on Vegapunk's technologies going?"

A few days ago, news of an explosion suddenly occurred in the laboratory where Vegapunk stayed in his hometown, which caused quite a sensation.

However, that's just an appearance.

The truth is that Judge blew up the ordinary laboratory outside and found the more advanced and comprehensive secret laboratory left by Vegapunk.

He also deliberately moved a lot of equipment that can be said to be very advanced, even if it is placed in Germa, to his own battleship.

"These technologies are simply great for me now..."

Judge smiled, full of excitement: "I have to admit, that guy, Vegapunk, is really a genius that makes people jealous!"

"Give me some more time, and I will definitely be able to design the most perfect new generation of morphological memory alloy Raid Suit!"

He prepared laser technology and some other technologies, all of which were perfectly integrated to create the most powerful new Raid Suit.

"Then I'm looking forward to it!"

"Luke…"

"Sir..."

Seeing Luke returning from the other ship.

Robin, Nami, Wyper, Lafitte, and others rushed up.

Reiju's eyes were a little complicated.

She was sure that her father was no longer the Vinsmoke Judge he once was.

Although she was not too sad, she was still a little confused and didn't know how to face Luke, the enemy who killed her father.

"Get ready to set sail and return to the Florian Triangle first!"

Next, if Judge's plan is developed successfully, he will be fearless and even have the confidence to directly lead everyone into the New World with great fanfare and compete head-on with those big pirates.

Even if the World Government finds out that Gecko Moria is dead.

The big deal is just a slight change to the next development plan.

"Grand Line?" 

Nami, Nojiko, Kuro, and other members who have never been to the Grand Line can't help but look forward to it with blazing eyes.

"Hogback, Shiki's body, has it been repaired?"

Luke asked Hogback.

"It has been completed. It took a lot of effort to perfectly connect his severed limbs..." Hogback said with a smile: "Luke-sama, you can resurrect him at any time now!"

"Then let's get started!"

Luke didn't delay.

He led everyone directly towards the ice warehouse of the central castle.

If this one is included, this is already the fourth shadow he split.

"Whoosh…"

Less than half an hour later, on the Thriller Bark, a tall golden figure appeared with a majestic aura.

A special zombie was born that was on the same level as Ryuma but even much stronger.

It's not that Shiki is stronger than Shimotsuki Ryuma.

There is another reason; it's just because Luke has become stronger again.

The shadow he split naturally became stronger.

Although Ryuma and the Oars have amazing learning abilities, they will be able to do this sooner or later.

But this time, the zombie king, Golden Lion, is one step ahead.

After perfectly swallowing Shiki's shadow, even without the Paramecia: Float-Float Fruit's abilities, the combat power that can be exerted is already close to the moment when he was fighting Luke.

The only thing that made Luke a little regretful was that.

After all, it's just a shadow.

Even with Golden Lion, the new zombie king, Haki has become much stronger compared to Oars and Ryuma.

But in the end, he was unable to use the Conqueror Haki's entanglement technique like the original body.
