Chapter 86
"Captain Rorschach, this is sothing we found in Spandam’s office."
After returning to the warship, Lucci imdiately handed two boxes to Rorschach.
When opened, they turned out to contain two Devil Fruits — one banana-shaped and the other honeydew lon-shaped.
Rorschach recognized them at a glance: the Ox-Ox Fruit, Giraffe Model, and the Bubble-Bubble Fruit.
What a coincidence. These must have been the two Devil Fruits Spandam had just requested to give to Kaku and Kalifa. Was this fate?
Spandam probably never imagined that these four CP9 mbers had already been recruited by Rorschach — and that he would ultimately die at their hands.
By his calculations, this tiline ant Luffy was either about to set sail or had just set out.
"Kaku, this Zoan-type Ox-Ox Fruit, Giraffe Model, is for you. As for the Bubble-Bubble Fruit, Kalifa can have it."
Rorschach tossed the fruits to the two of them. These were exactly the sa abilities they had originally eaten in the story.
"Eh? You’re giving us Devil Fruits right after we joined? Is that really okay?"
Kaku asked in surprise.
Although the fruits were seized from others, the final decision still rested with the captain. He didn’t expect Rorschach to hand over newly acquired Devil Fruits to them so casually.
"Devil Fruits don’t an much to . If I want more, I can get them anyti. Consider these as your joining bonuses."
Rorschach spoke in a casual, indifferent tone.
If he really wanted Devil Fruits, he could just go pluck so from one of the Underworld’s giants — Doflamingo. He doubted the guy would refuse. If he did, Rorschach could just beat him up first and then take them.
And with so many "family mbers," robbing him of two or three wasn’t too much, right?
Thinking about this, Rorschach was already looking forward to the face-slapping scene when he eventually t Doflamingo. He felt a little excited.
After hearing Rorschach’s words, the two didn’t hesitate and took a bite.
Their faces instantly darkened. The fruits really tasted awful, but their agent training allowed them to endure without losing composure as they forced the pieces down.
"By the way, make sure you eat the whole fruit. Otherwise, the ability might not be complete, and it could affect future awakening."
Rorschach’s casual remark made their hearts sink into an icy abyss.
Eat the whole thing? They had never heard of such a thing before, but since it was Rorschach’s order, they didn’t dare disobey. Holding back their nausea, they stuffed the rest into their mouths.
"I feel like I’m going to die..."
After finishing the fruits, Kaku and Kalifa looked as dejected as if they had been hit by a Negative Hollow, kneeling on the ground in despair.
"Alright, it’s ti to retreat. The Marines have probably already received the news and are heading this way."
With the objective completed, Rorschach controlled the warship and flew high into the sky. He had no intention of staying here waiting for Marine reinforcents.
After confirming the direction, Rorschach planned to cross the Calm Belt directly and head to the North Blue.
Traveling through the Calm Belt saved a lot of ti. In just ten days, Rorschach arrived in the North Blue and located the Vinsmoke Family’s mobile fortress.
"It’s been a while, Judge."
Rorschach jumped down from the ship and greeted Judge at the port.
The latter had already realized it was Rorschach when he heard a giant warship was flying toward them and had been waiting at the port early.
"Here’s what you wanted."
Judge didn’t waste words and simply tossed over a watch-like device.
"Just press the button and the raid suit will automatically cover your body," Judge added with the instructions.
"Tsk tsk, how convenient. You only need sothing this small now? A technological breakthrough? I rember you used to need belts, right?"
Rorschach examined the watch curiously for a mont before putting it on his wrist.
He then pressed the button. A flash of light appeared, and a sleek, military-style raid suit instantly materialized on his body. It had a futuristic, high-tech look and still appeared quite stylish.
"The combat suit has stealth capabilities. The surface is coated with a thin layer of vibranium alloy that can block low-level Observation Haki detection and absorb a certain amount of damage. The shoes are equipped with propulsion devices for high-speed movent and flight. It also uses Ark Reactor technology. The hands can convert energy to release lightning and flas. It can slowly recharge using solar and electrical energy. Most importantly, it allows you to exert your full power without restriction."
Judge continued explaining the functions of the raid suit.
However, Rorschach couldn’t wait to test it. He used Soru to flash forward, then combined several Geppo and Soru, making his figure constantly disappear and reappear.
After activating the stealth function, only faint sounds remained — as if sothing was moving through the air, but no figure could be seen.
"Very nice. I feel like movent consus less energy, and I can perfectly control my power output. Most importantly... this material doesn’t tear even when my body expands. It stretches along with ."
Rorschach nodded in satisfaction. This feature was excellent. In the future when he went all out, his body size might increase dramatically. It would be embarrassing if his clothes burst. He didn’t want to fight while exposing himself.
"Hmph, you don’t understand the power of technology. With deeper research into the reactor, my techniques have also advanced. Even liquid tal can now be stored in the device and transford into armor the mont it activates."
The corners of Judge’s mouth curled up, as if he was showing off to Rorschach, regardless of whether the other party understood.
Rorschach was sowhat surprised. Liquid tal? Wasn’t that basically Iron Man’s nano armor? Had Judge already made a breakthrough into nanotechnology?
He had to admit that the technology tree in the One Piece world was impressive. Even if it was a bit skewed, as long as it was related to science and technology, they could research and produce sothing impressive.
"Not bad at all. Interested in working for ? Join my crew. Funding will be unlimited, and you can personally select the researchers. This way you won’t need to start wars to steal money anymore."
"And you’ll also have my protection. With my strength, I can help you when you eventually advance into the New World."
Looking at the sowhat smug Judge, Rorschach suddenly spoke.
"Unlimited funding? Do you know how much money it takes to maintain an entire research team? This isn’t sothing a few billion Berries can solve."
Rorschach’s sudden invitation surprised Judge, who then looked at him with suspicion.
This kid actually wanted to support an entire research team? With his current scale, he shouldn’t have that much money.
"Hahahaha, money is not an issue. Whether it’s ten billion, tens of billions, or even hundreds of billions, it’s all pocket change to ."
Hearing Judge’s words, Rorschach couldn’t help but laugh loudly.
It seed Reiju hadn’t told her father yet that he owned an entire Sky Island filled with endless gold. Rorschach himself hadn’t even counted exactly how much there was.
Hundreds of billions? He could just dig out a large gold block from the ruins and that would be enough.
