In a secluded sea area of the East Blue.
The Germa Snail Ship fleet, having descended from the Red Line, was undergoing repairs.
Judge and a group of scientists were resting.
While the Vinsmoke siblings and the Clone Soldiers were tireless, it didn't mean that normal people like them wouldn't get mentally exhausted.
Moreover, the giant snail ships, after the arduous climb up the Red Line, crossing its vast summit, and then descending, were equally tired and needed rest.
They had to be well-prepared to fight in the Goa Empire's territory in the East Blue.
They couldn't engage in war with the Goa Empire in an exhausted state.
"Father, Morgans and the Underworld have refused to sell us information these past few days."
"There must be something fishy going on."
"We must be careful."
Reiju felt a huge conspiracy looming over them, making her feel very uneasy.
It was possible that more than one force was targeting them, all wanting to see the Germa Kingdom suffer.
"Hmph, it's nothing more than those two bastards, Doflamingo and Queen, interfering."
"That fat bird Morgans also wants to watch the show, hoping to get big news from our war with the Goa Kingdom."
Judge's expression was a bit grim; clearly, many forces wanted to see Germa fall.
But Judge was determined to disappoint those bastards.
He would eliminate Wang Shi just as he had slaughtered the kings of the four North Blue kingdoms.
He would ensure that the fear of Germa continued to spread across the world.
"Why don't we gather some intelligence in the East Blue first?"
Reiju suggested with a serious expression.
"Reiju, are you scared? This kind of emotion truly affects combat."
Ichiji snorted, looking at Reiju with disdain.
As the first-generation modified human, Reiju was indeed not as perfect as them.
"Exactly, Father, Ichiji and I can take down Wang Shi; we don't need Reiju."
Yonji was equally confident; emotions like fear, apprehension, and fear of death simply did not exist for him.
"I trust you. You must skillfully use the Sea Stone weapons and seawater devices I meticulously prepared for you."
Judge gave Reiju a deep look, considering whether to erase Reiju's superfluous emotions.
These children were his greatest masterpieces, absolutely the strongest warriors in this world.
Niji's failure was just an accident.
He absolutely refused to believe that Ichiji and Yonji couldn't handle Wang Shi.
That would be a denial of his scientific research capabilities.
"Don't worry, Father, we will definitely twist off Wang Shi's head for you."
Ichiji and Yonji were very satisfied with Judge's trust.
And Reiju, intimidated by Judge's cold gaze, dared not say anything further that might affect morale.
If she were to displease the arrogant Judge again, she truly would undergo a second modification by him.
This made Reiju feel incredibly sad.
In this cold family, she truly felt mentally exhausted, suffocated, and disheartened.
Moreover, in the entire Germa Kingdom, apart from a few female scientists, female cooks, and maids, all the Clone Soldiers were male.
Living year-round on snail ships with no homeland, aside from mercenary battles, it was aimless sailing with no entertainment whatsoever.
Reiju felt like she was about to become a modified human without emotions, just like her brothers.
The arrogant Judge now only desired to eliminate Wang Shi, to shock those bastards, and to restore Germa's prestige and glory.
As for Niji, he would see if he reappeared after Wang Shi, who had the banishment ability, was eliminated.
Logically, most Paramecia Devil Fruit abilities only become ineffective after the ability user is eliminated.
In any case, Judge would not humble himself for Niji.
The proud Vinsmoke royalty, the former kings of the entire North Blue, would never bow to anyone!
"Tomorrow, we will directly attack the Goa Kingdom!"
Judge was now radiating killing intent; even if Wang Shi was truly that strong, reaching General Stars and Three Disasters level.
His three children, combined with various weapons designed to counter ability users, could still eliminate Wang Shi.
After all, Wang Shi was just one person.
Unlike the Four Emperors Pirates, who, in addition to the nearly invincible Four Emperors themselves, also had a group of powerful executives.
"Yes!"
Reiju, Ichiji, and Yonji immediately shouted.
Reiju was filled with worry, while Ichiji and Yonji were brimming with confidence.
East Blue, Goa Empire, Royal Capital, Royal Palace.
Aside from spending time with Empress Sally and Baby 5, Wang Shi also dedicated time during the day to spar with Lao G, hoping to learn the unique Qigong Fist, Jigen Ryuu.
This fighting style could store strength from one's youth and release it when needed in old age.
It was somewhat miraculous.
Wang Shi used this old man to train his Haki and practice his half-baked Six Styles.
Wang Shi also unceremoniously arranged for Zoro and Saka to spar with Diamante, a half-baked swordsman.
This guy was at least a swordsman who could unleash sword energy slashes.
One move, 'Half-Moon Burial,' could cleave open over a hundred meters of ground.
For the current Zoro and Saka, he was a very strong opponent.
Diamante was very reluctant; he hated teaching brats, just like that Law back in the day.
But Wang Shi stated that they were currently on a mercenary mission, and in addition to acting against Germa 66, serving as sparring partners for Wang Shi's subordinates was also part of their mission.
This Don Quixote mercenary squad reluctantly accepted Wang Shi's arrangements.
With Bartolomeo and Edradgo returning to the Goa Imperial Capital.
Wang Shi had the heavyweight Ton Ton Fruit ability user, Machvise, spar with the two of them.
Don Quixote executives who had spent years in the New World could somewhat help these East Blue newcomers improve.
After finishing his Haki and physical training, Wang Shi returned to his personal training room.
He continued to develop his Toki Toki no Mi (Time-Time Fruit) ability.
As he gained precise control over his Toki Toki no Mi (Time-Time Fruit) ability, he began to attempt banishing a complete living organism in separate parts.
He looked at the white mice in their cages.
Wang Shi's gaze was very focused.
Law could precisely cut out Smoker's heart from a distance, so he would try to imitate that.
"Domain: Time-Stop, Body Banishment!"
Within the transparent domain, Wang Shi manipulated the power of the Toki Toki no Mi (Time-Time Fruit) ability, precisely distributing it on the white mouse's head.
As Wang Shi clenched his right hand.
'Pfft!'
The headless body of the white mouse instantly sprayed out blood.
As the white mouse's body slumped and twitched, two seconds later, a mouse head dropped out of thin air.
"It actually works!!"
Wang Shi grinned; this precise control required a greater expenditure of mental energy.
It was like throwing a handful of rice from a rice barrel, which was relatively easy.
But picking out a few sesame seeds from a rice barrel, while the physical effort might be similar or even less, required much more mental effort.
Wang Shi continued to experiment with animals other than white mice, such as jackals, wolves, tigers, and leopards.
As one animal after another was beheaded and died, Wang Shi revealed a satisfied smile.
If cutting off a white mouse's head with 'Time-Stop' was like breaking a toothpick, then these larger animals were like various sizes of branches and trees.
For stronger species or Armament Haki users, it would probably be as difficult as breaking wire, iron rods, or steel bars.
This precise banishment was actually not as convenient and easy as overall banishment.
After all, banishing a person along with the surrounding air was as simple as directly throwing away a rebar; there was no need to expend extra effort to twist off and only throw away a section of the rebar.
"The lethality and killing effect of this move are probably quite shocking."
Wang Shi was very satisfied with this 'Time Slash'; wasn't this just the effect of a 'Space Slash'?
