Chapter 324 Ability Testing and Don Quixote
"Success!!"
Seeing Blake's entire body covered in black armor in the test site, with large amounts of steam emanating from the gaps in the armor, Judge shouted excitedly.
He pressed the microphone switch in front of him: "Black, show me the power you have after obtaining two Devil Fruits!"
"it is good!"
Blake nodded slightly and turned to walk towards a steel plate fixed to the ground.
This steel plate is two meters wide and two meters high, and ten centimeters thick.
Blake stood still, clenched his fist, and punched out with all his might.
boom!!
With a loud bang, the steel plate was sent flying by the punch.
Furthermore, it was clearly visible during the flight that the entire steel plate was dented, almost becoming an unsealed cone.
"Such immense power!!"
Judge was amazed.
He had tested Blake's physical condition before performing the modification surgery.
After nearly a month of training, Blake's new physical strength was roughly close to the limit of an average human.
To give a simple example, it's roughly equivalent to a captain or major in the Navy Headquarters.
However, Blake has more combat experience, so his actual combat strength is higher.
However, now, after undergoing the modification surgery and eating the Heat-Heat Fruit, Black's punch is no less powerful than that of some Marine Rear Admirals who specialize in physical combat.
"Next, I'm going to increase the intensity and test your limits."
"No problem, I didn't actually use my full strength in that punch just now."
As Gaji began operating the experimental platform, a steel plate 2 meters wide and 20 centimeters high and 20 centimeters thick was immediately installed in the field by the robotic arm.
Blake walked up to the new steel plate.
Blake, whose entire body, including his head, was encased in black armor, took a deep breath and continued to assume the posture of bending his arms and gathering strength.
This time, however, it wasn't a simple charging up of energy like before; instead, wisps of white smoke emerged from the gaps in his carapace.
Immediately afterwards, his fist, encased in armor, emitted a dark red light.
"what!!"
Blake let out a low shout and threw a punch.
boom!!
A steel plate 20 centimeters thick also flew out.
Like the previous 10-centimeter-thick steel plate, it was also shaped into a near-cone shape.
Furthermore, the tip of the cone was completely pierced—no, to be precise, it was blown up.
The heat accumulated to its limit, under the impact and pressure of the punch, is no longer simply heated, but exhibits an explosive effect.
"Wow, that's pretty powerful."
Eileen looked at the steel plate that had flown to the end of the experimental site and exclaimed in admiration.
If that's the force of the punch, it would be enough to injure her in her normal state.
In the center of the arena, Blake exhaled a long breath, exhaling a large amount of steam from the gaps in his body, while also appearing somewhat tired.
"Blake, is this your limit?"
Judge asked Black on the radio.
Blake replied, "Pretty much. While I wouldn't be completely exhausted after throwing a punch of this level, I'm afraid I can't increase its power anytime soon."
"Okay, I understand. Let's test the other aspects next."
Judge input the experimental data into the test bench and then began to test Blake's other qualities, such as kicking power, running ability, physical endurance, heat resistance, cold resistance, jumping ability, etc.
In summary, to put it simply, Black's current stats are roughly equivalent to those of a Marine Rear Admiral specializing in physical combat.
However, compared to pure physical strength, Blake's defense is a level higher.
And these are all test results that do not take into account the domineering nature of the test.
With the addition of Haki, the destructive power of Armament Haki reaches the level of a taijutsu vice admiral. It is only slightly inferior in strength, but there is still a great potential for development in this aspect. It is only a matter of time before it is weak.
Similarly, with the combined assistance of Observation Haki and Armament Haki, Black's combat prowess is roughly equivalent to that of an ordinary taijutsu vice admiral.
For Blake, who was just an elite grunt before the surgery, this was a significant improvement, almost comparable to his peak.
If he could develop his current body to its theoretical limit, and with the added benefits of two Devil Fruits and Haki, becoming a top-tier Yonko commander wouldn't be difficult at all.
Even against a true master, they might be able to fight to a draw, instead of being crushed like an ant.
"Indeed, Mr. Judge is a man worthy of my father's approval!"
Looking at Blake's test results, Eileen seemed very satisfied, and Judge was equally satisfied.
This means that his research has been a complete success.
The subsequent reforms to his children will no longer require much psychological pressure.
For the next few days, Eileen and Black continued to stay and play at Judge's place.
On the one hand, it was to act as a temporary bodyguard to protect Mrs. Sola, who was about to give birth.
After all, Judge gave Irene such a big gift, so it was only right to return the favor.
On the other hand, although Judge respects Irene, Irene is, after all, Kaido's daughter and has not yet gained any official status within the pirate crew. Judge does not need to act too humble in front of her.
Even if Judge insisted on calling himself an elder, Eileen would have to respectfully call him uncle.
Therefore, both logically and emotionally, it's impossible for Eileen to just take the benefits and walk away.
While they waited patiently, a pirate ship flying the Donquixote Family flag slowly approached the Germa Kingdom anchored on the sea.
"Fufufufufu, how have you been lately, Brother Judge?"
"I heard that your wife is about to give birth, so I brought her some tonics. Please accept them."
Amidst hearty laughter, a handsome young man in a suit and tie, wearing wavy burgundy sunglasses and a pink feather cloak, strode off the ship with an air of nonchalance.
"Oh, it's Ming-ge. You're here to discuss an order, right?"
Judge greeted Doflamingo and his three subordinates who had come with him with a smile.
26-year-old Diamanti, 11-year-old Monet, and 5-year-old Baby-5.
Doflamingo and Diamante followed Judge into the reception room.
They will next discuss the details of a legitimate collaboration between the two sides.
Young Monet and Baby-5, led by the maid, went to the garden to find Reiju to play.
Bringing the child along is one way Doflamingo is showing his sincerity.
After all, Monet and Baby-5 have both eaten Devil Fruits, namely the Snow-Snow Fruit and the Weapon-Weapon Fruit.
These two children were destined to be the Don Quixote family's future cadres.
Bringing two children here could result in a huge loss if a conflict breaks out and they die.
Besides showing sincerity, letting the two children play more with Judge's daughter Reiju would also help maintain the cooperative relationship between the two parties.
Led by the maid, the two girls easily found their way to the garden where Reiju often played.
