One Piece Food System.

On the bow deck of the 'Harmony', a steel throne sticks out from the deck, extending to a height of more than ten meters from the deck.

Hercules was sitting on the Iron Throne right now, looking into the distance.

"Gage, Gage, I'd like to see how many 'clone troops' you have left to sacrifice..." Hercules, who was sitting on the Iron Throne, was not at all annoyed by the pursuit these days, but Looking forward to the final fruits of victory more and more.

Unlike many forces, although Heaven's Punishment also has a hierarchy, starting from Lei Fa, the boss, he seldom puts on the airs of the boss.

Even if Hercules really failed to kill him, Lei Fa would not say anything.

Because this kind of trivial matter can't catch Lei Fa's eyes at all.

So for Hercules, there was actually no psychological pressure for this beheading task.

However, the target he pursued and killed was chosen by him on his own initiative.

He and Jia Zhi are also old acquaintances. They met when they bowed their heads but did not look up in the 'Germa Group'. Although the relationship is not very good, they can be regarded as acquaintances.

After learning that Gage actually obtained the "bloodline factor" data that Dr. Vegapunk studied back then, and successfully applied it to the experimental product, Hercules had already planned to find out.Although biotechnology is not his main research direction, his level of biotechnology is definitely not lower than that of Gaji.

It is true that he could not complete the study of 'blood factor', but it is not difficult to understand.

How could he, who is also a genius scientist, not be curious about this research that shocked even the governments of the world?

Therefore, he directly chose the 'Vinsmoke family' as the target.

But he had to admit that the ferocity of the 'clone troop' under Gage was really beyond his expectations, and it wasn't just ferocious.

If it is just a suicide attack, the artificial man created by Hercules can also be easily completed, because the thinking of the artificial man is controlled by elementary artificial intelligence.

But compared with the speed of human thinking, elementary artificial intelligence is too far behind.

Unable to adapt to changing circumstances, only simple tasks such as locking the target and shooting can be completed.

Gage's 'clone troop' is different.

They have a thinking logic that is not inferior to that of normal humans. In terms of ability to adapt to changes, they are no different from soldiers who have been on the battlefield. I don’t know how Gaji did it. These clones are actually the same as artificial humans. A brave man who is not afraid of death!

This kind of death-death troops with strong mobility, sensitive thinking logic, and fear of death is really beyond the reach of ordinary troops.

Most of the members of the "mechanical legion" under Hercules are man-made troops, and only a very small part is led by scientists like him.

Regardless of fear of death, he did not lose to the 'Clone Troops', but due to lack of adaptability, he still suffered some small losses under the attack of the 'Clone Troops'.

Because of this, Gage was able to temporarily get rid of the 'mechanical legion' again and again.

Adding up and down, at least tens of thousands of clones have fallen in the previous suicide attack, and the number of fleets of the 'Vinsmoke Family' has also been decreasing, from the initial 20 or so ships to the present The five ships are already in jeopardy.

Even if there are 'clone troopers' on those five ships, the number should not be much.

Indeed, a suicide attack would buy Gage some time to escape.

But the 'Mechanical Legion' didn't lose a single ship from the beginning to the end!

This is the terrifying aspect of Hercules!

The warships of Heaven's Punishment, especially the warships under the command of the 'Mechanical Legion', undergo minor changes almost every six months, and major changes every three years!

If one were to fight one-on-one, it would be no exaggeration to say that one God's Punishment warship could challenge five naval warships.

The 'Clone Troops' under Gage may be able to destroy naval warships, but there is nothing they can do with the warships of the 'Mechanical Legion'. To the greatest extent, it can only delay time.

Therefore, Hercules is not worried at all that Gage will escape from his palm.Just like when a cat catches a mouse, it also enjoys the fun of playing with its prey.

Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue!

While Hercules was looking into the distance with great interest, the portable phone bug on his wrist suddenly rang.

"Huh?" Hercules was a little surprised, who would contact him at this time.

He picked up the phone, "Moses Moses?"

"Give me your price, Hercules, what price will it cost to let Gage go." The phone bug skipped the greetings and self-introduction stage, and cut straight to the point.

This way of dialogue made Hercules narrow his eyes in an instant.

"It's you? You don't seem to have any friendship with this Gage, right?" Without much hesitation, Hercules roughly guessed who the person on the other end of the phone bug was.

"It doesn't matter whether you are friendly or not. I have a reason to save his life. You just need to give me a price." The phone bug said in a declarative tone.

"Let me think about it... Since you didn't save him because of your past friendship, then it must be because he promised to give you some kind of benefits, which made you feel tempted, so you decided to save him, right?" Hercules was not in a hurry. Asking to make an offer or rejecting it, he just spoke in a half-guessing tone.

"Generally speaking, if you want to impress people, it's nothing more than wealth and power, but these things are meaningless to you, Vegapunk."

"What can tempt you is mostly a certain scientific research result that interests you... It is almost impossible for a waste like Gaji to research a project that interests you all by himself, so it must be him The experimental products and experimental materials completed by using your 'blood factor'? His 'clone troop'?"

Hercules' voice was still slightly dull, but there was a hint of cunning in it.

"You seem to be a lot more cunning than before..." Dr. Vegapunk on the other side of the phone bug was silent for a moment after hearing Hercules' words, and then said.

"Thanks for the compliment." Hercules said with a smile.

"However, this has nothing to do with what I said. You should know that I don't like beating around the bush, so please quote your price." Dr. Vegapunk pondered.

"I refuse." Hercules said without thinking.

"Huh?" Dr. Vegapunk was taken aback for a moment. He probably didn't expect Hercules to be so decisive. He didn't even leave any room for negotiation and refused.

"Don't forget, I am also a scientist, and my desire for the experimental results of Gage is definitely not inferior to yours. You ask me to offer a price to let him go, even if I offer one that can make me The price of giving up his experimental results will definitely only be worth more than the value of his experimental products, you absolutely cannot agree."

"If that's the case, why waste time? Negotiations are not suitable for scientists, because our calculation of gains and losses is too precise, so accurate that no one will make concessions."

Hercules said slowly.

"Well, I was negligent." Dr. Vegapunk said quietly, and then hung up the phone.

Hearing that the phone bug was hung up, Hercules' expression became serious instead.

He patted the armrest of the Iron Throne, causing it to drop down quickly, and at the same time told his deputy, "Pass me an order, no need to worry about whether the battleship is damaged, and give me the fastest speed to get the Vinsmoke family 'Take it, hit it with all your might!"
