"You should know about Roger. His last words before death brought endless turmoil to the World."
"The Marine and the World Government are now hunting down everyone related to Roger. As Roger's wife, and pregnant with Roger's child, you will inevitably be hunted by the Marine and the World Government!"
"Since I can find this place, the Marine and the World Government will also find it."
"So, whether for yourself or for the child in your belly, come with me. I will guarantee your safety and ensure you give birth to the child safely!"
"And I will find you a stable job so you can raise these child."
In front of Nox's Kenbunshoku Haki, no one could lie to him, so the moment he saw Rouge, he confirmed that the child in her belly were Roger's.
"Are you and Roger really friends?"
Seeing Nox so certain, Rouge knew she couldn't hide it.
What's more, she was just a pregnant woman with no strength to resist.
Since the other party had confirmed and found her, they wouldn't let her go. For herself and the child, she could only go with the other party. Asking this was just to feel at ease.
"We are friends. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here to find you. I received news that the Marine and the World Government were looking for you, so I came first. Otherwise, soon, this island and even a dozen surrounding islands would be surrounded by the Marine and the World Government!"
Nox said with certainty.
Although his relationship with Roger wasn't truly that of a friend, at most, they were just drinking buddies who had drunk and fought together. But drinking buddies are also a type of friend, so there was nothing wrong with him saying that.
"Wait for me for a moment. I will pack up and go with you."
Rouge was not stupid; on the contrary, she was very smart. Knowing that resistance was futile, she didn't think about fighting back, but went with the flow.
"Husband, are you planning to adopt Roger's child?"
Shakky asked curiously.
"Yes, these child have Roger's bloodline, so their talent should be extraordinary. When they grow up, maybe they will be another powerful Executive Officer of our Limitless Pirates."
Nox nodded.
Anyway, if he hadn't appeared, Rouge would definitely not have survived.
And since he took Rouge away, Ace, that little fellow, would naturally join the Limitless Pirates. It was impossible for Ace to become Whitebeard's son in the future.
As for Ace's psychological problems, with Rouge around to teach him well from a young age, he should not go astray.
Now Nox genuinely wanted to go to Roger's grave and say: Your wife and child, I will raise them!
"Well, Husband, you are right to say that."
Shakky nodded. How could Roger's child's talent not be good? In other words, even if it was poor, how bad could it be?
"I'm packed!"
After more than ten minutes, Rouge came out carrying two small bags.
"Give me the things, let's go!"
Nox waved his hand and put Rouge's two bags into the castle bracelet, then left the island with Rouge.
Afterward, Nox used the power of sonic hypnosis to put Rouge into a deep sleep, and then returned to the Limitless Sea through Shakky's Mirror World.
"Athena, this is Roger's wife, and she has Roger's child in her belly. Arrange a place for her in Wano Country and send people to protect her."
After returning to Wano Country, Nox handed Rouge over to Athena to look after.
"Roger's wife and child?"
"I understand, Husband, I will arrange it."
Athena didn't expect that shortly after Roger's death, Nox would bring back his wife and child.
If she didn't know that her Husband didn't have such hobbies, she would have thought Nox was going to take in Rouge!
If Nox had used Mind Reading to read Athena's thoughts, he would have firmly told her that her Husband was not Cao Cao, but a pure man with a virgin complex who didn't like married women!
After recovering and getting familiar with his body, Soros came to the new laboratory Nox had prepared for him. This laboratory had been built before and had all kinds of experimental equipment, so Soros could use it as soon as he arrived.
Now, in the center of the laboratory, there was a nutrient tank. Inside the nutrient tank was the clone Stussy, whom Vegapunk had researched before.
"Captain, I have seen and examined this clone. She is not awake yet and has no previous memories, only some common knowledge that has been implanted."
"And this clone will develop human emotions. To some extent, she is a human because she possesses human emotions."
Soros said excitedly.
"If she is activated now, can you guarantee that she will not betray me or the Limitless Pirates?"
Nox asked.
"Captain, since she has human emotions, she is like a real human. As long as we Training her well, treat her well, and teach her slowly, she will also be loyal to our Limitless Pirates, and the chance of betrayal is very small."
Soros replied.
Since she was human, there was a possibility of betrayal, as this was a human flaw that could not be changed, which was why Soros did not speak with absolute certainty.
"Will she have memories from before she woke up?"
Nox asked again.
He was worried that the clone Stussy would have the memories of the real Stussy, know that Vegapunk, who created her, had his body taken by Soros, and then betray the Limitless Pirates because of this.
"Captain, don't worry, she has no memories before she woke up, just like child unborn in the womb."
Soros said.
"In that case, let's activate her and let her wake up."
"Shakky, she will be entrusted to you for training from now on."
Nox said to Shakky.
In the original work, this Stussy was CP0 and controlled the pleasure district, doing intelligence work. It would be best to hand her over to Shakky for training.
"Don't worry, Husband, I will train her well."
Shakky smiled.
As Soros busied himself, the nutrient tank slowly opened, and Stussy inside also opened her eyes, with the unique confusion of humans in them.
Nox and the others just watched quietly without speaking. After more than ten minutes, Stussy seemed to have sorted out the thoughts in her mind, and her eyes became clear.
"I am the clone Stussy?"
Stussy looked at Nox and the others in front of her and asked curiously.
"Stussy is the name of the sample used to clone you. To distinguish you from the other Stussy, you will be called Stussya from now on."
Nox said.
"Stussya, I am Stussya, I am not Stussy, my name is Stussya!"
Stussya murmured.
"Sister Stussya, congratulations on your birth. From now on, I will be your sister. My name is Shakky, please take care of me."
Shakky stepped forward, took Stussya's hand, and led her out of the nutrient tank.
"Sister Shakky."
Stussya was like a blank sheet of paper now, and felt a very close connection to the first group of people she saw after opening her eyes.
"Sister Stussya, come on, sister will take you to see the outside World."
Shakky smiled and led Stussya out of the laboratory.
"Soros, here are the experiments Vegapunk did before, and his research results, the blueprint of life. Take a good look and understand them. I will arrange experimental tasks for you later."
Nox gave all the information about Vegapunk he had collected before to Soros.
"Okay, Captain!"
After seeing these materials, Soros' eyes were immediately glued to them, especially the blueprint of life, which made him exclaim in admiration. Such experimental results were things he had never dared to imagine before, and now they were all in front of him!
After leaving Soros' laboratory, Nox came to Yumaz's laboratory.
However, after Nox arrived here, he didn't see Yumaz's figure. After waiting for a while, Yumaz came in from outside.
"Captain, Captain, I succeeded, I succeeded!"
When Yumaz saw Nox, he immediately rushed up excitedly. If Nox hadn't reached out to stop this guy, he would have probably been ambushed and lost his virginity!
"Just stand here and talk about whatever it is!"
Looking at Yumaz's excited appearance, Nox resisted the urge to give him a sword strike and said.
"Captain, look, I succeeded. I used half a year of continuous fusion to finally integrate the ore that can forge a Supreme Grade Swords into the Seven Star Sword."
Yumaz handed a long sword with a scabbard to Nox and said excitedly.
"Oh? My Seven Star Sword has been successfully fused?"
Nox took it, held the hilt, and drew the Seven Star Sword from the scabbard.
Immediately, a blood-red light surged, and a monstrous killing intent and sharp edge bloomed.
"Clang!!!"
Nox gently tapped the sword body with his finger, and a low and clear sword hum instantly sounded, as if it was the joyful sound of the Seven Star Sword.
"The original green light has turned blood red, and the entire sword has completely turned dark red. The sword body has been widened by one finger, the overall sword length has been increased by twenty centimeters, the sword weight has been increased by one hundred and fifty catties, the sword edge has become sharper, the sword body has become harder, and the flow of Haki has become smoother!"
"The Seven Star Sword can definitely be said to be the strongest sword among the Supreme Grade Swords!"
Nox carefully compared the difference between the Seven Star Sword before and after, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he was.
Originally, his Seven Star Sword was comparable to the Supreme Grade Swords. Now, after strengthening and fusion, it has surpassed all Supreme Grade Swords, but it has not completely surpassed the ranks of Supreme Grade Swords to become a higher-level existence.
It is the same principle as two Great Swordsman being fused by Yumaz, which can surpass all Great Swordsman, but cannot reach the ranks of Supreme Grade Swords.
"Captain, you are the World's Greatest Swordsman, and the sword in your hand is naturally the most powerful sword in the World!"
Yumaz flattered.
