Chapter 87
Rorschach’s confident words didn’t sound like a bluff. Although Judge didn’t know where he got so much money from, he still pondered the offer of joining Rorschach’s crew for a moment.
First, Rorschach’s potential was enormous. Two years ago he had already reached the level where he could fight a Navy Admiral. According to Reiju, he had "evolved" again, meaning his strength had grown even further.
If he thought boldly, Rorschach might have already reached Admiral level. Although he currently had no territory in the New World, once he took over the Golden Lion’s old forces, he would instantly form a formidable power.
The fact that he could provide technology like the Ark Reactor meant he likely had even better tech. Combined with his relationship with Reiju, Rorschach was an excellent choice. This offer genuinely tempted Judge.
If the Vinsmoke Family could make a name for themselves in the New World under Rorschach, why bother dominating the North Blue? In the end, it was just a paradise within a paradise.
Judge’s eyes suddenly lit up. He spoke directly: "If you can provide the funds, having the Vinsmoke Family join you isn’t impossible. But the funding must never be cut off, and I have one condition."
"What condition? Let’s hear it," Rorschach asked curiously.
Judge’s response showed he was interested. Abundant funding was very attractive to him.
"You must marry Reiju and produce an heir. Of course, not immediately. As long as you agree to this condition, it’s fine."
"Marry Reiju?" Rorschach was stunned. He didn’t expect that to be the condition.
Rorschach and Reiju exchanged glances, both looking somewhat dumbfounded. Meanwhile, Nami’s teeth were nearly grinding to pieces beside them.
She was clearly here first. If anyone was going to marry first, it should be her! How could it be Reiju?!
"No way! If anyone’s getting married first, it’s me!" Nami shouted immediately.
"Uh..." Both Judge and Rorschach were left speechless. They didn’t expect Nami to be so serious about it.
Judge was simply using Reiju as his final bargaining chip. After all, she was his daughter. Once they had a child, he and Rorschach would be connected by family ties.
This way, even if other research teams joined later, he wouldn’t lose favor and have his funding reduced.
"Ahem. I don’t mind what order you marry the others in. But if you don’t agree to marry Reiju, I won’t easily join your crew," Judge coughed dryly and said to Rorschach.
He really didn’t understand why Rorschach had so many women, and it wasn’t just for fun. Didn’t this man have any grand ambitions? Such great strength was being wasted on women.
"Mm, I agree. Also, hand over the other raid suits as well. I need several more sets made."
Rorschach verbally agreed to placate him for now, then pointed at Kaku and Lucci, who were awkwardly looking around, indicating he wanted male versions of the raid suits for the two of them to boost their strength.
"Everything is here. There are also some second-generation combat suits inside."
Judge seemed to have anticipated this and took out two bags. One contained custom raid suits for Nami and the girls, while the other held military-grade second-generation suits.
"Oh? You already prepared everything. Very thoughtful."
Rorschach took out a bracelet with a lightning symbol from one bag. This was clearly Nami’s custom suit.
After helping Nami put it on and activate it, a futuristic combat suit with a cape appeared on her body. It had a strong Future Island aesthetic.
Rorschach wasn’t sure if the cape was Judge’s personal preference, but after the girls activated their suits, nearly all of them had futuristic combat outfits with capes.
Still, Judge’s sense of aesthetics wasn’t bad. The suits fit perfectly and beautifully accentuated the girls’ figures.
"Rorschach, how do I look in this?"
Nami happily ran over to Rorschach and spun around. She was clearly very satisfied with the suit’s appearance.
Although the other girls didn’t say anything, they all stared straight at Rorschach.
Rorschach could only give them a big thumbs-up. Seeing his praise, their smiles grew even brighter.
"Let me see how much power this suit can give me."
Suddenly, Nami stretched out her hand toward the sea. Lightning rapidly gathered in her palm.
Whoosh!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Accompanied by crackling sounds, a three-meter-wide lightning pillar shot out from Nami’s hand and streaked into the distance. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
The violent lightning electrocuted fish and small Sea Kings in the water, causing them to float motionless to the surface.
Only after Nami withdrew her lightning element did the pillar turn into a beam of light and dissipate.
"So strong!"
Nami looked at the aftermath in amazement. The sea along the lightning’s path was filled with floating sea creatures.
She also felt that her lightning element had become denser, with much higher destructive power. The suit could even store her electricity and amplify her attacks when she used them.
Hearing Nami’s mutterings, Rorschach smiled and said, "Looks like Nami is now our crew’s second strongest fighter. Once your Armament Haki matures and you gain more combat experience, you’ll probably reach Admiral-level strength."
"Admiral-level strength? I can reach that kind of monster-level power?" Nami said in shock.
Rorschach’s evaluation was far beyond her expectations. Could she really become that strong?
"That’s amazing, Sister Nami!" Kaya looked at her with admiration, a hint of envy in her heart.
Although Kaya wasn’t good at fighting and didn’t particularly want to fight, she still greatly envied those who could help Rorschach with their strength.
"Hehe, don’t worry, Kaya. I’ll protect everyone’s safety," Nami said confidently while patting her chest.
"Tch, what’s there to be so proud of? My Barrier Fruit can do that too."
Karina muttered sourly, though she was genuinely happy for Nami inside.
"Since that’s settled, we’ll be leaving now. Use this funding to develop your tech. Contact us via Den Den Mushi if the suits get upgraded."
Seeing everyone eager to test their new strength, Rorschach didn’t linger.
Under Judge’s astonished gaze, Rorschach took out a large chunk of gold from his storage and tossed it on the ground as development funds.
He then took the warship back into the air and returned to the Grand Line.
What Rorschach didn’t know was that at this moment, both Marine Headquarters and the New World had already exploded with shock.
The Enies Lobby incident announced Rorschach’s return. He had suppressed the entire island with overwhelming power, completely humiliating the World Government.
Naval forces across the seas were now being mocked for their incompetence — someone had attacked their doorstep, killed the highest leader of Enies Lobby, and the Marines couldn’t even catch a glimpse of the perpetrator.
