Grand Line, Galzburg
Toguro came to this country with Cream. They did not take the city route. Instead, they headed deep into the mountains. Finally, they arrived at a vast wasteland formed by several mountains.
In a remote corner of the wasteland, there was something that resembled an underground passage. Toguro slowly walked in and found himself at a vast underground space.
It looked as if several mountains and earth had been dug up, connecting the underground space together. There was not much light, but there were many 'people'.
Well, it was unknown whether they be called humans or not.
The people in that underground chamber all had dark skin. Their eyes were very big and emitted a strange light. They were the mutants that Genichi had created with a Human Manufacturing Machine.
Genichi made that an underground chamber this year. He had made a lot of preparations in order to proceed with the next phase.
And now, those mutants were forming a circle, and in the middle of them all was a box. They all stared at the box in order to gain more power.
There were about a hundred or so of them. They were all about thirteen or fourteen years old. In about a year, they would be considered an adult.
After reaching adulthood, their physical abilities would reach the peak, and with two years worth of training using E.S.P Training Box, they should be much stronger, right?
However, it would take another two years for them to fully mature.
The reason why Genichi told the Marine now was because he knew that it would take the Marine two years to discover this place.
After all, the Marine could even corner Roger so many times!
What was more, there was a mole like Makima in addition to Genichi's ability to monitor the Marine. And as time went on, the pirates would definitely be able to detect the movement of the Marine. At that time, it would definitely be even more chaotic.
In the midst of chaos, Genichi would draw out the tens of millions of Character Cards, and two years was enough for that.
Behind Toguro, Cream opened its portal to Dark Dimension, and then a large amount of Monster Cells came out of the portal.
In seven days two Monster Cells could produce one Monster Cell. All of the Monster Cells were teleported to this place now, leaving only two on Genichi's possession.
There were more than seventy of them, and it was not enough. However, Genichi did not want to turn all the Mutants into monsters in one go as he was not in a hurry.
After three hours of training, a Mutant ate a Monster Cell. His body suddenly transformed, and two antenna-like things grew on his head. A new eye even appeared on his forehead.
The color of his body became darker, and his body grew rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he grew dozens of centimeters taller, reaching the height of a normal adult.
"Test out your new strength!"
Toguro ordered.
These Mutants listened to Makima's commands after she dominated them. They were not puppets, so they needed orders before they could do anything.
The mutant nodded and walked out to the surface. This was originally a wasteland surrounded by mountains. It was a place that even Galzburg had abandoned. Thus, no one would discover anything if they tested out their strength here.
After the mutant walked out, he pointed his hand at a mountain.
In the next moment, an intense force was blasted like a missile, causing a large ripple in the air. Toguro watched from the side as a huge hole suddenly appeared in the mountain in front of him, as if something just erased a part of it!
"Very good."
The mutants blushed like students who had been praised by their teacher.
This was indeed a very good destructive power. It was definitely considered strong in this world. These mutants would be strong enough to be an officer in Four Emperors' crew in the future, and as long as Genichi had time, he could mass produce these mutants.
If they completed E.S.P Training Box's three years training, they might be able to reach the level of the Three All-Stars in the future, which meant they were very strong.
However, it was a pity that they could not provide Emotion Points for Genichi. This meant that they were destined to be unable to enjoy all the benefits that Genichi could give them.
...
In the other part of Galzburg was a city that Galzburg often fought over with another country, unlike the abandoned mountain area.
Douglas Bullet ran excitedly in the city. He was rewarded with a 'medal' for his achievement of conquering this city. This was an honor that only the people who had made the greatest contributions in the country could get.
And Bullet had obtained such a medal at the age of eight. What kind of monster was he?
No one could say for sure...
But no matter how powerful he was, he was just a child now. At this moment, he ran excitedly in the city to find his companions and share his joy and honor with them.
Bullet had been adopted by the army since he was young, and his companions were all young soldiers. Of all the young soldiers, he was naturally the strongest.
However, to become the strongest, he had to walk a path different from others.
And what set him apart from others happened this day.
"Everyone, I have obtained the highest level medal!" Bullet was so eager to show off his medal to his companions right after he opened the door, but the moment he opened the door, a gas came out from inside.
Bullet suddenly felt all of his power left his body, and then he slumped the ground.
Was it an enemy attack?
Was there someone hiding in this city? But why was it at the place he and his companions had agreed on?
Bullet was puzzled, but someone stepped on his head and said in a familiar voice,
"You are not human at all. You are a monster!"
He widened his eyes because it was the young soldiers who grew up with him!
He struggled to look up as he fell to the ground. He could still see his companions gathered around him and looked at him with cold eyes!
