Whole Cake Island.
"Are you saying that the Marine has invented a Humanoid Weapon that rivals an Admiral?" Big Mom's face was shocked, her eyes filled with disbelief!
"Yes, Mama!" Katakuri's expression was grave as he continued to speak slowly.
"And according to reliable sources, they caused quite a stir on Onigashima, and Kaido posed no threat to them at all, ultimately allowing them to leave unscathed."
Upon hearing this, Big Mom's expression darkened even further.
Having known Kaido for many years, Big Mom was well aware of his strength.
Even he couldn't capture this Humanoid Weapon.
This proved that this Admiral-level Seraphim was indeed extraordinarily strong.
"I never expected that it would only take such a short time for them to develop Humanoid Weapon comparable to the Admirals..." Big Mom mused.
"Is the inventor still that genius young scientist, Leon?"
"Yes, Mama," Katakuri nodded.
"What a terrifying talent! If only we could make use of him..." Big Mom gritted her teeth.
Regarding such a talent, Big Mom knew well that even if Leon himself were willing, the Marine would never let him go.
They would never allow him to fall into her hands!
If such a genius were to end up in the hands of the enemy, it would pose a risk of annihilation to the marines.
"Damn it, the Marine's invention is just too powerful..."
As Big Mom was lost in thought, suddenly, her eldest son, Perospero, hurried in to report.
"Mama, the Vinsmoke family has come to visit! They say they want to seek cooperation with us..."
Big Mom was taken aback, a look of disdain flashing across her face.
"The Vinsmokes? That bunch from Germa 66?" She scoffed. "I was indeed interested in their technological prowess before, but now, with the advance Marine's technology, the Vinsmoke family's technological strength seems rather weak in comparison..."
"Tell them to get lost!" Big Mom waved her hand dismissively, wanting her subordinates to chase him away.
However, Perospero continued. "But the Vinsmoke family said it's related to the Seraphim, and they promised to bring you a surprise."
Upon hearing this, Big Mom paused for a moment.
Then, her eyes lit up. "Alright then, call them over immediately!"
"Yes!"
***
Soon, Big Mom met with the Vinsmoke family.
"Big Mom!"
At the forefront was a burly man with a head full of golden hair, followed by three men and a woman.
It was Vinsmoke Judge, along with his children.
"Well, well, well... Vinsmoke Judge! What surprise did you just mention?" Big Mom couldn't wait to ask.
"Look at you, so eager! Here!" He stepped aside, revealing a figure behind him that made Big Mom and her subordinates tremble in unison!
Even Big Mom instinctively stood up.
Because this figure was none other than a person bearing the traits of the Lunarian Tribe, with white hair, brown skin and a pair of black wings wreathed in flames.
Not only that.
Their appearance also bore an uncanny resemblance to a young Gecko Moria.
"Is this a Seraphim?!" Big Mom's eyes were filled with shock as she couldn't help but ask.
"Yes." Perhaps pleased by her astonishment, Judge wore a confident smile.
"How did you acquire it?" Big Mom's face was filled with suspicion.
"Acquire? No, no, no!" Judge shook his head, "In fact, the Marine only sent a single Seraphim to deal with us, but we unexpectedly managed to defeat it together, and then we collected the remains of the Seraphim and cloned it based on the technology within the remains!"
"Clone?!" Katakuri's face turned pale.
But Big Mom became calm instead, pondering for a moment.
In fact, this was true; Germa 66 already possessed advanced cloning technology.
Most of their subordinates were merely clones.
"Then you Vinsmoke family are truly remarkable!" Big Mom exclaimed.
"In reality, the clone we produced is not as powerful as the original Seraphim, only about seventy percent of its strength." Judge explained.
"Seventy percent?" Big Mom's eyes flickered.
Although it wasn't a full hundred percent, having seventy percent of the power was still not weak.
If she could get her hands on it, it would significantly reduce the threat from the Marine!
So how could she seize this technology? Big Mom began to think carefully...
"We have two main things to discuss with you! Rest assured, they will benefit you as well!" Judge said with a smile.
"Well, well, well... let's hear it?" Big Mom's eyes sparkled.
"Because we successfully cloned a counterfeit Seraphim using our advanced cloning technology, we need your help to prevent the Marine from taking action against us!" Judge declared.
"That's the first point!"
Upon hearing this, Big Mom narrowed her eyes slightly.
She continued to listen intently.
"The second point is that even for the counterfeit Seraphim, developing the clone requires a substantial amount of funds, so I need to sell the counterfeit Seraphim!" Judge continued.
"The development cost is about one billion berries each and we sell each for twenty billion. I want you to help me introduce clients and I'll sell it to you at cost price."
"This is a win-win situation, what do you think?"
After finishing, Judge wore a broad smile.
Such generous terms, combined with their originally powerful technological kingdom Germa 66, made them more than adequate as allies!
Not to mention the allure of the Seraphim.
Although it only had seventy percent of the original's strength, it was already enough to attract attention.
Sure enough.
After Big Mom listened to what Judge had to say, her face immediately lit up with joy.
"Well, well, well, Judge, then let's wish for a pleasant cooperation in the future."
Upon hearing this, Judge's face also showed signs of joy.
"Hahaha, great!"
Being able to ally with one of the Four Emperors would greatly enhance the safety of the Vinsmoke family, and they would have a steady stream of clients coming to buy from them.
And Big Mom was equally ecstatic.
The arrival of the other party was like a pillow coming just when she was feeling sleepy!
Just a moment ago, she was still worrying about the Marine's Seraphim.
In the next moment, she already had the power to counter it.
With the Vinsmoke family, who also mastered cloning technology was within her grasp.
She finally had the power to contend with the Marines!
