Chapter 454: Arrangements
Sky-Air Mother Nest Training Room.
Two figures continuously flashed across the Arena, with attacks relentlessly assailing Ignis.
Ignis stood rooted to the spot, his body seemingly unaffected, as if the attacks passed right through him.
He wasn't using his Devil Fruit ability because his speed was too fast.
He dodged the attacks the instant they arrived and immediately returned to his original position.
This created the illusion.
Looking at "00" and Zero Garp, they were already panting, covered in sweat, seeing Ignis's figure as an insurmountable chasm.
But Ignis's eyes were filled with pleasant surprise.
Both possessed powerful combat talent, and Ignis didn't have a clear standard for the upper limit of their strength.
Because their body age was fourteen, confirmed to be fourteen.
From gestation to birth, they hadn't undergone any training.
The nutrient solution they absorbed could develop their body potential and promote their growth, but it couldn't make them stronger.
The growth of muscles required rigorous training; this wasn't something that could grow up naturally.
Neither "00" nor Garp, despite possessing powerful body potential, were the type of Monster born with powerful physiques.
They needed time to train and grow.
However, Zero Garp was definitely stronger than "00".
In their battles, Garp also held the upper hand.
If he wasn't a Strongman, wouldn't all that precious top-grade nutrient solution he absorbed have been wasted?
More importantly, their growth rate was astonishing.
In just one week, "00" and Zero Garp's strength improved every single day.
From not knowing how to battle at all initially, they quickly adapted to the fast combat rhythm relying on their body instinct and developed their own combat style.
Zero Garp's effect was very obvious because his combat style was 90% similar to Garp's, naturally developing that way.
Perhaps due to personality changes, Zero Garp's attacks were more ruthless.
"00"'s primary template was Goenitz, but he also contained human genes, so he hadn't formed a distinct style yet and needed some time.
Ignis witnessed their transformation firsthand, from not knowing how to battle to knowing how to battle, though still very green.
They needed time to train and grow, to learn.
To learn body technique.
They also needed a Teacher to instruct them.
The instinct etched in their blood was their precious wealth, allowing them to avoid many detours and fully consolidate, control, and make it their own.
They also needed to learn.
Even Vegapunk needed to start from scratch and re-learn various scientific knowledge, requiring at least a few years of accumulation before being able to step into the Laboratory.
Ignis could afford to wait, and the same applied to "00" and Zero Garp.
Therefore, Ignis planned to send them to the Kronos Kingdom to study in the Royal Military Academy's crash course for two years, and then directly enter the Military for training.
"00" was fine, but for Zero Garp.
.
.
Ignis absolutely dared not send Zero Garp to the Sky Arena.
The risk of being exposed was too great.
Even wearing a mask wouldn't help; the style was too distinct, and he looked exactly like a young Garp.
Marine Headquarters had been paying attention to the situation at the Sky Arena, and Ignis was aware of this.
After training at a Branch, Gulichalido began contacting Ignis and learned some things about the internal affairs of the Marines.
Although seemingly useless, it was all effective intelligence.
Ignis knew that his father would definitely be interested in Garp.
And training in the Army could definitely effectively develop their potential.
As time passed, more and more students graduated from the Royal Military Academy.
Training within the Military and training through the Sky Arena.
The Kronos Kingdom's Military combatant strength was continuously increasing; it was no exaggeration to say that strong individuals were numerous.
Sending them to the Military for training was most suitable.
Especially since the Military itself had many powerful young Monsters.
The most famous was Tartaros Barrett, as well as Ignis's brother Broly, and others.
Furthermore, the current Army General Zoro and Khepri were both terrifying Top Tier Combatants in strength.
When they arrived, it would definitely become even livelier.
Sound Nest was his undertaking, but Ignis didn't hide the idea of separating from the Kronos Kingdom.
His father definitely knew about some of his actions.
Despite some restrictions, he was also given the greatest support and many preferential treatments.
Otherwise, there were some things he wouldn't be able to obtain, even with wealth.
Ignis was clear about this point.
Besides that, he also wanted to see if the bodies of the two clones, "00" and Zero Garp, had any flaws.
It had to be admitted that Sound Nest's scientific research conditions were already considered World Class, with top-tier Scientists and top-tier resources.
But compared to the Kronos Kingdom's massive Research Base, in terms of scale, it was like an infant.
One could say it was heaven and earth apart.
At the "MADS" Research Institute, he only gained two top-tier Scientists and a few researchers, which was incomparable to the gains from the Kronos Kingdom.
"Garp?"
A strange light flashed in Hades's eyes, feeling a bit surprised.
He held high expectations for Ignis.
And Ignis did indeed bring him surprises.
Although there was his support, most of it was due to Ignis's own effort.
If his child needed his help, Hades would definitely not refuse.
However, not many of his children needed his help.
Only Ignis needed the scale of the Kronos Kingdom as an endorsement to help him achieve his ambition.
Hades knew about the data on the two top-tier Scientists Ignis took.
After all, their families were brought over through the strength of the Kronos Kingdom.
Regarding clones, Hades only remembered Stussy.
The future Seraphim was a combination of clone and modification.
Now, Ignis's Sound Nest had actually cloned Garp, which was truly beyond his expectation.
It seemed Ignis's gains were not small.
After a simple understanding, Hades agreed to his son's request.
He didn't lack the food money for two people, and perhaps they could bring unexpected gains.
Regarding Garp's gene sample, the Kronos Kingdom also had some.
During the great battle with Garp, Hades had secretly collected a little of Garp's blood.
Just a little was enough.
Ignis didn't have that much time to cultivate "00" and Garp, so he adopted this method.
Even some Sound Nest members were still undergoing training through the Sky Arena.
This method saved money and reduced energy consumption.
