You Are My Future Goal
He wrote Yamato's toy at the top of his memo. If Judge were to see what he had written, he would be livid. His proud combat suit had turned into a toy in others' eyes.
Despite the strong combat capabilities and ample functionalities of the combat suit, it still couldn't escape the fate of being a toy in Yamato's hands. Even as she grew older, it didn't change the fact that she loved to play.
The issue of materials was not difficult to solve; he also has a good grasp of the Lineage Factor technology. What needed to be solved was how to make Yamato power it.
The reason Judge's children could freely use the abilities of the combat suit is also related to their own modifications. They couldn't use each other's abilities even if they exchanged combat suits. It's not that they adapted to the combat suit, but rather the specially made combat suit adapted to them.
While Germa's combat suits had different functions, all of this began because Judge systematically created bodies that could adapt to every kind of "ability."
For example, Reiju's poison ability meant that, to some extent, Reiju herself was more resistant to poisons. So even without a combat suit, she can use her body to absorb poisons.
The same applied to her younger brothers. Perhaps if Sanji was completely modified, he could achieve his desires in a different way.
Yamato wasn't that kind of modified person, so to power this toy, she needed a different method of ability activation.
However, saying she wasn't a modified person wasn't entirely correct. Her body had abilities bestowed by Arceus, which was a different kind of modification. This meant that the combat energy within her body was similar to the energy cannon modified by Queen, but Queen will have to slightly alter the energy transmission method.
In theory, he could figure out a solution if stays up all night for a few days, but he doesn't have much time to waste. Yamato is someone who is unpredictable; she might have forgotten about it again by now, but when she remembered this matter again, it could cause huge trouble.
So Queen didn't delay anymore and directly returned to his laboratory.
As Queen passed through Wano Country's inland sea, he shouted Jack's name.
"Jack! Come out! There is a mission from Lord Arceus!"
Just by looking at the situation in the inland sea, Queen could tell where Jack was. Due to the mysterious engineer who neglected the drainage system, Wano Country has formed this unique terrain—a vast inland sea that was actually a man-made enclosure of a lake.
Usually, the lake's surface was calm, without any big waves. But now, something seemed to be battling underwater, causing occasional massive waves to crash ashore.
Shortly after Queen's voice was transmitted, Jack emerged from underwater.
"What happened, Boss Queen? What's the mission?"
"Go with Mandrell to rescue a Fish-Man, just make sure he doesn't die. Anyway, you're really diligent in your training."
Seeing Jack panting, Queen figured he had been training for a long time; his stamina was rarely pushed to this extent.
"Well, cause I want to challenge your position and become the new Calamity."
"... "
It was quite an idealistic goal, but Queen suddenly didn't know what to say. It is really not impossible to expand the Calamity position, but Kaido seemed to like the number three. The other people who were qualified were all under Arceus' personal command, so there had always been only three Calamities.
Expanding this position required demonstrating formidable strength and obtaining a certain amount of contributions. Compared to this, challenging the existing Calamities seemed easier.
For Jack, compared to people like King who was agile and Olga who was challenging to deal with, a showdown of physical strength with Queen, who was comparatively "clumsier" was much more suitable for him.
"No need to explicitly tell me about this! Take a rest and then depart quickly. Mandrell should have received the instructions as well. As for the specifics, you can ask Lord Arceus yourself."
Towards Jack's lofty ideals, Queen "amiably" expressed his "approval," before he went back to his research facility.
The way they were choosing their opponent had somewhat frustrated Queen, so he didn't go into detail about the mission.
Shortly after Queen left, a massive Gyarados' head surfaced from the inland sea. This was Jack's sparring partner just now. He has already mastered the defensive fighting style, so the training just now involved enduring Gyarados' blows underwater.
It was a Gyarados that lived in the outside area, and it had crossed the waterfall to come here specifically to assist with Jack's training. For them, it wasn't a challenging task. Even when they were ordinary gigantic carps, they could pull ships over the waterfall borders.
The ocean was the home turf for Fish-Men like Jack, but it was also Gyarados' home turf. Moreover, these Gyarados had evolved from Magikarp that were modified from the native Wano Country's carp, and had inherited their powerful strength. Their colossal size was a significant challenge for Jack, providing him with good training.
Because Queen's heart was somewhat shaken, Jack had to seek out Arceus after recovering his stamina.
"You're just in time. Take this and follow the supply ship to where Mandrell is. Let him prepare manpower and such."
An energy hand handed a bottle of medicine to Jack. The exact timing wasn't specified, but Tiger's eventual cause of death was blood loss. Since the person himself didn't want a blood transfusion, it's best to respect his wish and opt for special medication instead.
Aside from being able to breathe underwater and greater strength, there wasn't much fundamental difference between humans and Fish-Men, so their medicines were similar, which saved a lot of hassle.
"Understood, I'll hurry over right away."
"When you get there, follow Mandrell's orders. Don't rush in alone."
"Okay."
Jack then set off with the supplies. Meanwhile, Mandrell had also received the order and left Fishman Island.
It would take Jack some time to arrive, but there's still plenty of time. According to the intelligence eavesdropped by Omanyte, they had just started making preparations to act. So, there's enough time to arrive there.
"Mandrell, another mission?"
"Yeah, don't worry, it's just a small matter. Besides, it seems to be related to Tiger. If you're concerned, have Shyarly do a divination."
He didn't believe in divination. Even if he had previously allocated the wetland park to GT-2, he didn't think it amounted to much; it was probably just a coincidence.
However, most people on Fishman Island believed in such things; it can serve as a form of solace. After Shyarly predicted that it would be safe, Rusalka felt considerably relieved.
Meanwhile, on another island, Fisher Tiger took on the mission to escort Koala home.
Although he had rescued the slaves three years ago, the World Government did not let them off and continued to track them down all over the world.
These people were living in seclusion on this island. Koala was too young and her hometown was too far away, so they had no choice but to ask Tiger for help.
