I collect everything in the One Piece world.

Bakara stopped, tilted her head to look at him, and then said with a smile, "Okay!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a huge elk charged at him from the side.

Chopper had entered his enhanced form, his body swelling several times larger, his antlers covered in dark, shiny Armament Haki, and he crashed into Yonji like a heavy truck.

Before Yongji could even scream, he was sent flying through the air in an arc before crashing into the castle's outer wall. His limbs hung limply, like a decorative painting hanging on the wall, impossible to remove.

Chopper then transformed back into his small reindeer form, dusted off his little hooves, and snorted, "Serves you right for bullying Reiju!"

As they fought, Mosen walked step by step toward Judge.

Along the way, clone soldiers tried to stop him, but Morsen simply waved his hand and shot out several arcs of electricity, causing the clone soldiers at the forefront to convulse and fall to the ground.

With another wave of his hand, an invisible shockwave of Conqueror's Haki instantly stunned the soldier on the other side, who collapsed to the ground foaming at the mouth.

Judge's expression finally changed.

He instinctively took a step back, but then forced himself to stand still, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and assumed a fighting stance.

As the head of the Vinsmoke family, he is also a formidable warrior. Through the enhancement of his bloodline factors, his physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people.

"Whoosh!" His right fist slammed into Mosen's chest, the wind howling and the force enough to pierce through a steel plate.

But Mosen didn't even flinch; he simply raised his left hand and effortlessly caught Judge's fist.

"boom!"

Judge felt as if he had punched an iron mountain; Morsen's palm did not move at all, not even the slightest tremor.

He tried to pull his fist back, but found that Morsen's five fingers were like iron clamps, firmly locking his fist in place, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free.

Mosen gripped Judge's fist and exerted a slight force; an overwhelming power instantly turned Judge's face deathly pale.

What kind of monster is this? How can it be so strong? Which of them is a cyborg?

He felt as if his fist bones were about to be crushed, and the bones kept making cracking sounds.

He gritted his teeth, trying his best not to cry out, but large beads of sweat had already formed on his forehead and slid down his cheeks.

"I'll ask you one last time." Morsen's voice was calm, yet carried a chill that sent a shiver down Judge's spine: "Where are my crew?"

Chapter 251, Reiju's gratitude, Morsen's cameo as a pirate.

A few minutes later, the square was filled with clone soldiers lying haphazardly.

Ichiji was pinned to the ground by Robin's power, lying in an extremely humiliating position, unable to move. Robin's power had stripped off his battle suit, revealing the bodysuit underneath.

Niji was knocked unconscious by Nami with the butt of her gun and remains unconscious to this day, with a trace of drool still hanging from the corner of his mouth, looking like an idiot.

Yongzhi was embedded in the outer wall of the castle, like a decorative painting hanging on the wall, his limbs hanging limply, occasionally twitching.

Judge was kneeling on one knee, his right hand hanging limply at his side, his face pale, his breathing rapid, and his eyes filled with anger, humiliation, and disbelief.

His proud Germa Kingdom, his meticulously crafted cyborgs, and his endless army of clone soldiers couldn't even last a few minutes against Morsen and his group.

Mosen stood in front of him, looking down at him, and fine blue arcs of electricity began to crackle around his body.

With the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his Observation Haki spread out with unprecedented speed and precision, like an invisible radar network that instantly covered the entire Germa Kingdom.

The castle's structure, the layout of the corridors, every room, every passage—everything was clearly presented in his perception.

found it!

Upon sensing Reiju's presence, Mosen opened his eyes, a cold glint in his gaze.

He drew the Autumn Water sword from his waist and then stabbed down with it.

The long sword pierced Judge's thigh, pinning him to the ground.

Judge let out a shrill scream as blood gushed from his wound, staining the stone slabs on the ground red.

He struggled to pull out the blade, but Morsen's strike was so skillful that the blade pierced through his thigh muscle and embedded itself in a crack in the stone slab of the ground, leaving him unable to pull out the knife or move, and forced to lie on the ground in an extremely humiliating position.

"Stay put and wait until I get my crew back before I deal with you," Mosen said calmly, then turned and strode into the castle.

Nami, Robin, Baccarat, and Chopper followed closely behind, leaving Judge alone lying on the ground groaning in pain, his eyes filled with anger and humiliation.

Deep within the castle, the laboratory door is a heavy alloy explosion-proof door that requires Gaji's iris and fingerprint, as well as a dynamic password of up to thirty-two digits, to open.

The door is even equipped with a sensor-activated energy shield that automatically activates the highest level of defenses once a violent intrusion attempt is detected.

However, this was no problem for Mosen. He simply walked to the door, reached out, and gently pressed his hand against the door panel.

The Door-Door Fruit opens the door!

Centered on the spot where his hand touched, an invisible wave spread out, instantly cutting an air door through the metal door panel.

With a gentle push, Mosen easily opened an alloy blast-proof door that could even withstand the bombardment of a warship's main guns.

The energy shield behind the door failed before it could even activate, because the door's form had been altered.

Mosen stepped directly across the threshold and into the laboratory.

Inside the laboratory, the cold white lights remained bright. Reiju was strapped to the lab bed, her limbs and neck restrained by metal rings, and electrode patches attached to her temples.

Her face was pale and her lips were chapped, but her big eyes lit up the moment she saw Mosen walk in.

Mosen walked to the experimental bed and frowned slightly when he saw Reiju's weak appearance.

He didn't say much, but simply reached out, grasped the metal rings, and squeezed them slightly. The high-strength alloy rings crumbled like paper, and Reiju quickly regained her freedom.

Nami was the first to rush over, grabbing Reiju's shoulder and looking her up and down: "Are you alright? Did they do anything to you? You look terrible!"

Robin also stepped forward, her eyes filled with concern, and gently took Reiju's hand.

Bakala stood to the side, saying nothing, but the emotion in her eyes spoke volumes.

Chopper immediately opened his medical kit, and his little hooves deftly pulled out a stethoscope and various testing tools, beginning to examine Reiju: "Don't move, don't move, let me give you a full check-up first!"

"Blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen saturation... Good heavens, why are your health indicators so low? Have you not been eating properly for days?!"

Looking at her companions surrounding her, Reiju felt a surge of indescribable warmth in her heart.

She lowered her head slightly, a smile she couldn't hide playing on her lips, and said softly, "I'm fine... really, it's just that the plan went a little awful at the end..."

She briefly recounted her experiences after returning to Germa.

For example, how she orchestrated for Judge to take her into the lab, how she used the electric shock badge to knock Judge unconscious, how she tried to shut down the genetic shackles, and how she discovered that the genetic shackles were deeply bound to the lineage factor, ultimately forcing her to shut down the entire core sequence of the lineage factor.

“So… I no longer have any bloodline factors.” Reiju’s voice was calm, but a hint of sadness still flashed in her eyes.

"I am now just an ordinary person. I don't have superhuman strength, self-healing ability, or immunity to toxins... All my original abilities have disappeared."

She looked up at Morsen, her eyes filled with unease and hesitation: "Captain, I... I might be a burden to you, if you feel I'm no longer fit to stay on the ship..."

Before she could finish speaking, Mosen reached out and gently flicked her forehead with his finger.

"Boom!"

Reiju paused for a moment, covered her forehead which had been flicked red, and looked at Mosen with some confusion.

"Don't let your mind wander." Mosen looked at her, his tone serious and firm: "You are my crew member. Whether you have the bloodline factor or not, whether you still have those abilities or not, that will not change."

"I will protect you; this is the captain's promise to the crew."

“That’s right!” Nami put her hands on her hips and nodded vigorously. “Do you think we let you join the crew because you’re capable? We treat you as a friend and a partner!”

"Your partner is in trouble, of course we're here to save you! It has absolutely nothing to do with whether you can fight or not!"

“Exactly, exactly.” Bakara chimed in with a grin, “If you leave, there will be one less person on the ship to chat with.”

Robin smiled and nodded: "Welcome back, Reiju."

Chopper grabbed Reiju's arm and said, "Don't do such dangerous things alone anymore! Let's figure something out together if anything happens!"

Reiju looked at the people in front of her, her eyes slightly red.

She lowered her head, sniffed hard, then raised her head again, revealing that familiar smile: "Yes! Thank you everyone..."

Seeing that she had regained her spirits, Mosen continued, "It's just a bloodline factor. If you lose it, you lose it. Abilities aren't something you can only acquire through genes. You can train yourself and slowly get your physical strength back."

"Even if you don't want to pursue physical combat, I have quite a few Devil Fruits in my collection. If you're interested, just pick one and eat it."

"If there's nothing you like, we can just go find the one you want, or even snatch it from you."

Then Mosen paused, as if remembering something, and added, "By the way, don't worry about weapons either, I have a lot of collections for you to choose from."

"The Cerberus sword I stole in Mary Geoise was pretty good. I've kept it without touching it. You can take it and play with it."

Mosen is now used to using Shusui. In terms of ease of use, Shusui is still the best. Even the Sandai Kitetsu and Yubashiri are easier to use than the Cerberus Sword, although they are indeed inferior in terms of quality.

Upon hearing this, Reiju felt an even deeper surge of emotion. She opened her mouth, as if to say something, but ultimately refrained from the usual pleasantries. Instead, she nodded solemnly, "Alright, then I'll accept the captain's kindness for now, but..."

She turned her head, her gaze falling on the sophisticated instruments and mountains of experimental data in the laboratory, a thoughtful glint in her eyes: "Actually... I think there might be other ways."

Following her gaze, everyone saw that the laboratory shelves were filled with various research materials, gene maps and experimental data, and there were several small portable analytical instruments in the corner.

Reiju walked to a lab bench, picked up a gene map, and focused her gaze on the data. As she looked at it, she said, "Before, I was too pressed for time to perform precise operations, so I had to cut through the mess quickly and shut down the entire bloodline factor core sequence."

"But things are different now. There is a full set of experimental equipment and complete research data here, all of which are the results of George's life's work."

"If I could take these materials and equipment with me and have enough time to conduct research, I might be able to find a better way to both break the genetic shackles and preserve or even optimize the ability of ancestral factors."

She raised her head and looked at Mosen, her eyes sparkling with an unprecedented brilliance: "After all, my combat habits and instincts over the years have been completely adapted to my original abilities. If I can find a way to remove the shackles while retaining these abilities, that would be the best outcome for me."

"Although Judge's research is ruthless, his expertise in the field of genetic engineering is indeed world-class. These materials contain a wealth of valuable information, and if they can be improved and optimized, they may be able to develop even stronger capabilities than before."

After hearing her words, Mo Sen did not hesitate at all and waved his hand: "Then take them all."

Reiju paused for a moment: "All of them?"

“Yes, all of them.” Mosen nodded, his tone relaxed: “Take all the instruments, data, and equipment that you think are useful.”

"Anyway, leaving it here would only benefit that old bastard Judge. Why not use it for your research? If you need it, I can even move the entire Germa Kingdom for you."

He said this so matter-of-factly that Reiju didn't know how to respond for a moment.

She was stunned for a few seconds before she couldn't help but laugh, a genuinely relaxed laugh from the bottom of her heart.

It feels so good to have companions, especially a captain who is both protective and domineering.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony."

After saying that, Reiju suddenly stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Mosen on the cheek.

The action came so suddenly that Mosen was stunned for a moment.
