Chapter 44 - ADEPTUS MECHANICUS

Reiju was surprised to hear what Katahara said but the most surprised was Drust.

Reiju: This is in exchange for....

Katahara then put her katana on Reiju's neck.

Katahara: In exchange for this kingdom.

While using her king's haki, along with a murderous thirst.

Reiju: And what if I say no?

Katahara: I can simply take you out of the equation and leave one of your stupid brothers in charge, your father will take care of a mission I'll give him and I don't think he has time to do other things.

What Katahara said made Reiju shudder.

Reiju at that moment turned to see Drust who had not moved because he was next to Laffitte and Dabi.

Reiju: I accept.

Katahara: Good choice...

At that moment Judge woke up and stood up, and threw himself against Katahara as soon as he saw him, but before he could touch him his body was paralyzed.

Katahara: Looks like you woke up Judge, it was a good fight.... You can't seem to move, take a seat.

Then Judge took a chair and sat down. At that moment the 3 brothers woke up.

Katahara: Everyone take some money.

At that moment the brothers all took the money.

Katahara: Now you are all under my command whether you want to be or not.

Judge: I don't know what you did to us but you will pay for it.

Katahara: Now it is time to start..... Judge you... you were no longer the patriarch of the Vinsmoke family, and you are not the king of the Germa kingdom either, now that position and those titles will belong to our beloved Reiju.

When they heard katahara all the Vinsmoke were surprised and furious to the point that they attacked katahara. But the same thing happened, they were all paralyzed before they reached Katahara.

Katahara: Now Yonji your only duty is to take care of your sister and report if she does anything out of place, as for Ichiji and Niji you will take care of the mercenary jobs of the underworld.

Reiju turned to look at katahara and understood that he gave her the kingdom but at a price she didn't imagine.

Judge was even more furious.

Katahara: Judge you are a scientist and I happen to have 2 great scientists on my ship that serve me, they will work with you.

Judge: And what are we supposed to do.

Katahara: You are a pioneer in the lineage factor, and in cloning.

At that moment, Katahara took out Ryuma's corpse.

Katahara: Your mission will be to bring him back to life.... But I don't want them to be like your stupid soldiers, I need the real Ryuma, who only serves me.

Judge started to inspect Ryuma's body.

Judge: 5 years, it will take 5 years to bring him back to life.

Katahara: You have 2 years to do it.

Judge: It's impossible to do it in that time unless you want something defective.

Katahara: You have 3 years Judge, but don't worry you will have scientists to keep you company soon.

Judge: Then the kingdom will remain mercenary.

Katahara: Everything will remain the same for the outside.... Judge I guess you saw the men that tied you up, they are from a place called Skypiea.

Judge: And that matters to me...

Katahara: I want you to see if you factor lineage and improve it.

Judge: You ask too much.

Laffitte: Losers have no right to complain.

Reiju: I still don't understand how they attacked from the sky.

Katahara: I'm surprised that no one even thinks about using the air vehicle and only cares about sailing.

Judge at that moment stood up.

Judge: You mean you created flying machines.

Katahara: I simply ordered my soldiers to make ships and gunboats that could take to the skies.

Judge just looked at him.

Katahara: Laffitte tell Coni to bring Hanzo and Ratchet.

Laffitte: Looks like our scientists will soon meet.

System buy the blueprints for the baneblade tanks (wh40k), Predator Annihilator wh(Wh40k) and the Sentinel(Wh40k) bipedal vehicle and keep it inside my ring, Katahara thought.

Then shortly after Conis brought in the two scientists.

Ratchet: Looks like they did the same thing in this place.

Katahara: From now on you will work here, and this is what you will manufacture....

While showing the 3 blueprints to the scientists.

Hanzo: This is a weapon of destruction...

Ratchet: Looks like we have some fun ahead of us.

Katahara: I want you to make as many of the Annihilator Predator and the Baneblade as you can, as for the Sentinel a few will be enough.

At this point Judge was also interested, his ego as a scientist couldn't leave him out of this.

When he began to see the plans he was amazed.

Judge: These plans are perfect, they don't have any flaws, shit even I don't see how I can improve them.

At that moment the 3 began to discuss about what materials they should use to make them.

Katahara: I see you 3 are getting along very well...from now on you will be known as the ADEPTUS MECHANICUS.

No one had any idea that something had been formed that would change the way wars would be conducted.

Judge: The status of the Germa kingdom...will no longer exist if it is known that we were defeated in this way by an unknown pirate.

Katahara: You won't have to worry, in a few months everyone will know my name. .... I guess you will have to repair the kingdom.

Reiju: And count how many casualties we have, if you were supposed to want us under your command why destroy everything.

Katahara got up and started walking around the place.

Katahara: You can't change what someone is without destroying what they were.

Then she turned to look at Drust and Reiju.

Katahara: Then you will tell us what is going on between you.

Drust and Reiju blushed and avoided eye contact with Katahara, Augur noticed this and wanted to change the course of the conversation.

Van Augur: Don't be surprised by Coni's talent.

Dabi: She learned almost all the rokushiki skills in record time, I'd say she only lacks battle experience.

Katahara: She will join us along with 20 other soldiers who demonstrated their battle prowess. ....

Dabi: Captain maybe we could take some Germa 66 soldiers with us, after all they are trained soldiers.

Katahara turned to look at Judge.

Katahara: That's not a bad idea.... Reiju, you will give me your best 20 Germa 66 soldiers.

Reiju: Fine I will inform the best 20 to prepare to board your ship.

Katahara: Well we will leave in 2 days, my dear queen Reiju could you give us a place to stay.

Reiju then called a servant girl who took all of Katahara's crew to some rooms inside the Vinsmoke's castle.

The next day they knocked on Katahara's door, to tell her that breakfast was served.

So Katahara got up, got dressed and went to the dining room guided by a servant girl.

When he arrived he saw everyone sitting down to eat, the Vinsmoke brothers were completely unharmed after some repairs.

Katahara: It seems that being an enhanced human has its benefits.

Laffitte: Captain it seems that the destruction of Thrier Bark and the death of the Shishibukai Moria was attributed to another pirate.

Katahara: Let me guess, the straw hat pirates.

Laffitte: That's right captain.

Katahara: Looks like we're up against the clock now.... Call Urouge and tell him to meet us at the Sabaody Archipelago in 3 months.

Laffitte: Sure Captain, it seems he is now known as the mad monk, and his group is known as the Fallen Monk Pirates, with a bounty of 108,000,000 Berry.

Katahara: I guess he must know how to use Haki by now? You must be ready to join us by now.

Dabi: Captain, the Germa 66 soldiers are already on the ship along with the others.

Judge: You seem to be well informed about many things, not only rokushiki but also haki.

Katahara: I know many things Judge, I also know that you must go to karakuri island and take all the things from that place.

Judge: Karakuri Island...the island where Vegapunk comes from, what's on that one.

Katahara: Once you get there you will know, just remember to take EVERYTHING, go to Vegapunk's old lab you must be careful with the marines, they must not know you are there, I would advise you to leave immediately.

Judge: Then that's the way it will be done, we will leave tomorrow.

Katahara: I guess you must have some Eternal Pose, right Judge.

Judge: Which island are you going to?

Katahara: Judge Island, Island .... I need the Eternal Pose from Amazon Lily and Sabaody Archipelago.

Reiju: You are going to the island of women, Sabaody Archipelago I understand but Amazon Lilyz its Empress.

Katahara: The Empress, Boa Hancock...

At that moment Judge brought two Pose Eternal with names written on them, one said Amazon Lily and the other Archipelago Sabaody.

Judge: Here is what you asked for.

Katahara: Now that everything is ready, we are leaving... Drust, say goodbye properly and we'll wait for you on the ship.
