Bigger?
How big could it be? It's all gold.
Although both of them are base commanders with decent salaries and other bonuses, there's no need for them to spend so much.
To be honest, Kuro isn't interested in money anymore. He doesn't even know how much money he has; he owns too many businesses.
Sabaody is a very stable source of tax revenue. Pegasus Island has some fluctuations, but not much. It still relies on the tourism industry for tax revenue. Not to mention, he inherited Tesoro's legacy and developed a complete tourism industry chain. He really doesn't lack money.
He can afford to support so many people under his command. Even if G-3 is gone, those who work for him will receive a stipend every now and then.
Nothing much, just two words: meticulous!
“Yes, Mr. Kuro, I understand,” Wilbur said in a deep voice.
Having pirates attack the Kingdom of Maturu and then having the Kingdom of Korf take over and incorporate it into Dressrosa's territory is something that has been done for the first time, and it's not yet time to make a fuss about it. There's really no need for it now.
The World Government will never realize that all they want is the celestial gold, and they have absolutely no interest in the internal affairs of the member states. Besides, Wilbur has thought things through very deeply. The Kingdom of Korf is just a member state, not Dressrosa, but just a member of 'Debon'. But that's something the outside world doesn't know. Conquering through Korf, in the eyes of the World Government, is at most just the territory of the Kingdom of Korf.
What would that cause?
Pay an extra share of the Heavenly Gold!
There is nothing else besides this.
Therefore, Wilbur felt very secure, which was probably what Mr. Kuro wanted as well. For someone as all-knowing as Mr. Kuro, this was probably something he already knew all along.
Mr. Kuro seems quite satisfied now, which means he must know.
"By the way, David recently went to the North Sea. I saw it in the newspaper. What's he up to?" Kuro asked, suddenly remembering something.
He seemed to have seen similar news in the newspaper before.
Upon hearing this, Chloe, Cass, and Wilbur all felt a chill run down their spines.
"Mr. Kuro, David is in the North Sea because of Wen..."
Cass opened his mouth, wanting to tell the truth, but Wilbur spoke first, saying, "Because of the culture! David wants to investigate the unique culture of the North Sea and see if there's anything he can learn from and absorb."
You can't say that!
How could Mr. Kuro not know?!
Since he mentioned the word 'newspaper,' it means he only wants to know the information contained in the newspaper. The specifics will definitely be handled by Kro, so he only needs to give a general overview.
Vinsmoke is also part of the North Sea culture, so it's definitely true that we're talking about culture. Mr. Kuro would surely understand!
"Beihai's culture? Hmm..."
Kuro raised an eyebrow. The North Sea has a culture? Well, this is David's own consideration. Besides, he's already given enough face for the sake of this business. For a king to go to this extent is already quite commendable.
"Let him be, he knows what he's doing," Kuro said.
...
At this moment, in Beihai.
House Vinsmoke, within the territory of the Kingdom of Germa.
The battle had ended half a day ago.
The story ends with David defeating Vinsmoke Judge and his four children, one against five, achieving a complete victory.
No one could defeat David.
Faced with the wolf rider's swordsmanship, Vinsmoke ultimately succumbed to the will to survive over his pride and surrendered.
This point was actually demonstrated at Charlotte Linlin's tea party back then.
When they were restrained, their first reaction was not to resist. Judge had not been modified and was capable of having emotions, although as a perverted scientist, he did not have many emotions.
As for his four children, apart from Reiju, the other three cannot be said to be without feelings, because they also fell into deep thought when Sanji saved them.
That's why they surrendered.
Because David said that if they just wanted the technology, they could continue researching it, but only with his permission.
Technology can never make mistakes; it's just a matter of whether it aligns with current values.
Since cloning technology already exists, there must be a reason for its existence.
This is a technology derived from bloodline factors. Vegapunk knows it, as does M. Caesar Clown, who was killed by Mr. Clow Reed. It's normal that Judge possesses it.
This is the technology that David wants.
“David...King, this is our technology.”
Inside the factory, Judge, whose face was still bruised and swollen from injuries, was speaking to David beside him. In front of them were a large number of cloning jars, each containing a humanoid figure curled up inside.
Although he is still injured, he still speaks of this technique with pride.
“What is the growth cycle? How many are there now?” David asked.
"They grow every five years, and this batch has only one year left. The production number is three thousand..."
Speaking of this, Judge was somewhat indignant.
The clone soldiers suffered heavy losses due to their usage and business dealings, and last time, three thousand of them were directly turned by a strange navy, which puzzled him greatly. He even tried to study it, but found that no matter how he studied it, it was useless.
That clone soldier is now the famous 'Douglag's Naval Squadron' in the Navy, known throughout the world, and is also a laughing stock among those in the know, who know that their Vinsmoke soldiers have been turned.
This thought still keeps Judge awake at night.
That bearded man was terrifying!
But there's no way around it. Although clones grow very quickly due to technology, they are actually no different from humans. If they are truly touched on the soul, they can only bear the consequences.
After returning from the battle at the tea party, Judge discovered that his children were becoming thoughtful. No matter how advanced the technology, as long as it is for people, there are still feelings involved.
Just like now, Sora's death... he is still deeply troubled by it.
“Three thousand…” David nodded. “We need to speed things up. This number is far from enough. I need more people. Don’t worry about funding. I’ll take as many soldiers as you can build. I’ll cover all the expenses. I’ll even support you using them for other experiments.”
"real?!"
Judge is naturally short of money, otherwise he wouldn't have the reputation of "War House". They take on a lot of jobs, entirely because they are short of money.
But what does this mean? Making them surrender just to give them money?
That's not the case. If they had said so earlier, they wouldn't have even fought.
"There's a condition."
David said, "Your place will be moved to the vicinity of Dressrosa. As for your clone soldiers, they will be trained here. If you surrender, you can keep some of your weapons, but the rest will all be ours!"
Only through training, through the training of Kas, can these people be transformed into 'warriors of justice' rather than 'evil Germa soldiers'.
