239 Next Plan, Resurrection

"Sasuke, I want you to head out to sea and find a young man named Ace. Once you do, join his pirate crew," Lynch instructed.

"No problem!" Sasuke's eyes lit up as he eagerly agreed.

If his mother hadn't held him back before, he would've already gone to the sea. Now that Lynch had spoken, he only wondered if his mother would have any objections.

"What do you need me to do after I join?" Sasuke asked impatiently.

"There's nothing right now. Just join and wait for my instructions," Lynch replied.

"Got it!" Sasuke said cheerfully.

Lynch was surprised by Sasuke's enthusiasm. It seemed he hadn't realized Sasuke had a hidden longing for the sea.

"Ah~" Mikoto lowered her head, wiping away tears. 

"Sasuke, please stay safe, and don't make friends with bad people."

"Yes, Mother," Sasuke replied obediently. "You stay safe too. Wait for me to return."

Lynch walked over and placed a reassuring hand on Sasuke's shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll take care of your mother while you're gone."

"Thank you!" Sasuke said earnestly.

By sending Sasuke out of the West Blue, Lynch's immediate plans had reached their conclusion.

"After months of hard work, I can finally take a break!" Lynch sighed, leaning back in his chair with a long exhale.

Just then, Mark appeared behind him. "Sir, the Vinsmoke family has requested to meet with you!"

Lynch: "..."

Tom, meanwhile, had been living the dream—eating, sleeping, and relaxing all day. Lynch couldn't help but envy him. 

"In my next life, I'd like to be a cat," he muttered. 

Then he remembered: Tom had taken Jerry out to sea a few days ago, claiming they were visiting an old friend.

"Hahahaha! Mr. Lynch, it's been a long time!" Judge greeted him with uncharacteristic warmth when they met.

Anyone familiar with Judge would be shocked by his demeanor. Known for his arrogance, cruelty, vanity, and hunger for power, Judge was the epitome of a villain with almost no redeeming qualities. Yet here he was, acting polite.

Despite his flaws, Judge was also a scientist with deep pockets, willing to spend a lot of money on his ambitions.

"Bring it in!"

At Lynch's command, dozens of soldiers from the Germa 66 Kingdom marched in, carrying nine nutrient capsules. 

Inside each capsule, human bodies were suspended in a nutrient solution.

"Did you successfully complete the cloning technology?" Lynch wondered, though his opinion of Judge remained low.

Judge was selfish and ruthless, willing to do anything to achieve his goals. He had forced his pregnant wife to undergo surgery to alter their biological children. 

When Sanji failed to meet his expectations, Judge locked him up like a prisoner and even declared him dead to the outside world.

Despite his disdain, Lynch's interest was piqued when he saw the figures inside the cloning capsules. Rising from his seat, he walked forward to meet Judge.

"Hahaha," Judge laughed, his mustache curling upward with pride. "As you can see, I've fulfilled my promise to you."

"Well then," Judge continued, a note of confidence in his voice. "Can we move forward with our cooperation now?"

Months ago, Judge had approached Lynch with a proposal. 

In return, Lynch provided him with the DNA of nine giants who had died in battle, tasking Judge with recreating their bodies through cloning.

 The agreement was clear: if Judge succeeded, Lynch would consider the proposed collaboration.

Lynch have the power of the Titan, along with the memory storage legacy within it. 

Everything was in place—he only needed physical bodies to bring the plan to life.

After a year and a half, Judge delivered on his promise, successfully cloning the physical forms of nine giants, including a Rear Admiral.

"There's no need to rush," Lynch said, waving off the eager Judge. "Let's first see how your cloned bodies have turned out."

"As you wish. Take a look," Judge replied confidently, gesturing to his men.

On command, the soldiers opened the nutrient capsules. Judge was brimming with pride, trusting his advanced science.

As the hatches opened, nine bodies floated up from the nutrient solution.

Lynch placed his palms on the heart and forehead of Clone No. 1. The heart pulsed with life, and the brain was devoid of any thoughts. Judge had not infused the bodies with souls, adhering to Lynch's request.

Because souls weren't needed, Judge was able to grow the nine bodies in just a year and a half. 

By contrast, creating a combat soldier for the Germa 66 Kingdom typically took five years to develop from embryo to adulthood.

When Robin heard that Lynch planned to resurrect the Nine Titan Rear Admiral, she put aside her work and used her Devil Fruit powers to fly over and see the event.

The nine Titan Rear Admirals had sacrificed their lives to save Robin, leaving her burdened with guilt for years. 

Now, the chance to see them resurrected filled her with hope and relief.

With a deep breath, Lynch summoned the giant power from his system space. Nine streams of glowing blue light swirled around his fingertips, radiating an otherworldly energy.

Starting with Clone No. 1, Lynch gently touched its forehead, allowing a stream of light to flow into it. He repeated the process for the remaining eight clones, infusing each with the same energy.

The moment of truth had arrived.

Robin's heartbeat raced as she stared at the nutrient capsules, her beautiful eyes fixed without blinking. Her anticipation was palpable.

One minute passed. Then two. Then three.

Lynch frowned slightly as nothing happened. "What's going on? Could something have gone wrong?" 

Judge, standing to the side, was clueless about what Lynch was doing but felt the tension in the air, making him uneasy.

Suddenly, Clone No. 1, still floating in the nutrient solution, opened its eyes.

Breaking free from the nutrient tubes attached to his body, No. 1 kicked through the glass barrier in his way and burst out of the tank. His fierce eyes scanned the room as if searching for something.

"Where's Mistress Robin! Is she safe?"

No. 1's memories were frozen at the moment of his death at the hands of Saint Satan, and his instinct to protect Robin remained unchanged.

Judge stared at him, horrified by the sheer intensity in the clone's eyes. 

That fearless determination—it was as if Lynch had resurrected a monster!

What shocked Judge even more was that Lynch actually gave the clone a soul in an instant!

This, this, this... what a terrifying technology this is!

If he, Judge, had this technology, the Kingdom of Germa 66 would be at least three times more powerful than it is now!

For a moment, Judge looked at Lynch with extremely passionate eyes, and felt extremely lucky to be able to cooperate with him.

Then, the remaining eight titan were resurrected one after another.

The glass shards of the nutrition cabin exploded all over the sky, but luckily Lynch blocked them all.

"Lynch-sama!"

"Robin-sama! I'm so glad you're safe!"

"I... wasn't I dead? How did I end up here?"

Fragments of their past lives began to resurface in the minds of the resurrected Rear Admirals. Slowly, they pieced together their memories.

What had happened? Why were they here? Who had defeated Saint Saturn? How had they survived?

Robin, overcome with emotion, couldn't hold back her tears. Covering her mouth with trembling hands, her eyes turned red as tears streamed down her face.

She silently vowed to herself: I will never let anyone die to protect me again.

"We won that battle," Lynch said firmly, addressing the giants' confusion.

Although the newly resurrected Rear Admirals had countless questions, Lynch answered them all with patience, reassuring them as they adjusted to their new reality.
