One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me.

Chapter 212 Reiju, live on!

Unseen by any means, a terrifying gravity locked Vinsmoke Weevil's body in place.

He struggled against it, and a metallic clanging sound came from his bones.

This is not surprising—after all, even a tenth of the gravity being applied to him at this moment would be enough to turn a giant into mincemeat instantly.

The fact that Weebuhr was still able to resist under these circumstances is enough to demonstrate this.

His physical strength was indeed beyond comprehension under the technical and life-sustaining techniques of Germa.

Even during the resistance, the range of motion in his body clearly increased!

"Yes! That's right—even though the Gladiator Fruit's power is ineffective, Weevil can still win as long as he can continue to adapt to 'gravity'."

At this moment, although Bagingom still did not understand why the fruit she had carefully chosen for her 'child' had failed.

But that didn't affect her ability to make judgments.

still have a chance.

Because the 'adaptability' that Weevil gained through bloodline factor modification still exists in his body.

Just like when he was pressed into the ground before, as long as gravity cannot completely destroy his body in an instant, he can adapt quickly.

"Once he has fully adapted, he will still be the strongest."

Barkingom noticed that lately she often couldn't finish her sentences.

Because at the very moment she finished speaking.

"Snapped!"

Everyone present heard it; a crisp sound rang out.

In the next instant, Yin Hu's figure appeared in front of Wei Bu'er.

"!!!"

Even Weevil, who was struggling against gravity, seemed to have a flash of instinctive doubt in his eyes at this moment.

"So fast."

He mumbled this incoherently.

at the same time
"What speed is this?"

"The combat suit didn't detect any movement at all!"

At this moment, the three Vinsmoke sons, who had overheard Yin Hu's conversation with their father, also helped each other to their feet.

Their limbs and bodies were twisted, and their vitality was growing weaker.

But at this moment, they continued their discussion without any apparent concern.

"Is it teleportation? His abilities can be used in this way?"

"If we attacked at this speed at the start of the battle, all three of us would be dead, right?"

“Nicholson, wake up! We are indeed about to die.”

Amid the discussion, Yin Hu, who had come to stand before Wei Bu'er, casually extended his palm once again.

His hands, which were tiny compared to Weevil's body, slapped against the three-headed, six-armed monster!
next moment.
"Snapped."

Then everyone heard the crisp sound again.

"Buzz!"

A moment later, they saw Weevil's enormous body soar into the sky like a cannonball, its speed almost unbelievable.

He flew higher and higher, until finally—he completely left the ground of Germa.

"Rejecting domain."

Yin Hu reached out again, as if aiming at Weibull, and then... squeezed!
"Boom!"

The clouds began to fall.

To the horrified gazes of the Germa people, the scattered castle and alloy fragments on the ground began to fly into the sky.

The massive mountains surrounding the kingdom also shattered completely at that moment, with countless fragments of the mountains surrounding Weevil.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

They kept converging and crashing down, and together with the intense gravity, they firmly fixed Weevil's six arms, three heads, and every part of his body in place.

"Once you're hit by this move, you won't be able to move."

Yin Hu calmly said, "Repulsion Domain - Earth Explosion Star!"

After doing all that, he lazily turned to Judge beside him and said, "Look—we've successfully restrained him. Now it's up to you guys to show your skills."

"."

At this moment, Judge, who had been somewhat dazed, seemed to come to his senses.

He looked at Yin Hu with a complicated expression.

Although he asked Yin Hu to temporarily restrain Wei Bu'er, it was his doing.

But as the person who knew best how strong Weevil's power was, his original idea was just to ask In-tiger to buy him some time and a moment's chance.

How could he have imagined that the 'strongest weapon' he and Bagingom created would be so easily and completely locked down in front of Yin Hu?

With power at this level, Judge even suspected that the attack that destroyed Germa earlier was not the opponent's full strength.

However, despite the shock in my heart.

But Judge did not hesitate at all.

"Derma 66!"

He took a deep breath, ignoring the excruciating pain emanating from his already pierced lung.

"This is the last strike!"

"Yes, Father!" *3
The words fell.

The three Vinsmoke brothers, who had already stood up, also grinned.

"boom!"

Their tattered combat suits were now radiating an unprecedented glow.

Red, blue, and green—the three colors of light converge.

But if you look closely, you'll find...

In that instant, the blood in their bodies clearly began to flow faster, converging into their combat suits.

Their already dying life force was rapidly fading, but something else was taking its place.
His power and aura, however, seemed to have returned to their peak.

"Desperate Death Mode - Activated!" *3
Yonji clenched his fist: "Hey—Ichiji, this is Niji's last mission, don't hold me back!"

"Is that what I wanted to say?"

Let's see who's faster!

As the three finished speaking...

Their figures suddenly soared into the air!
"."

Judge, standing on the ground, remained silent as he watched this scene unfold.

His fists were clenched so tightly that his nails dug into his flesh.

His lips moved as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

The ultimate mode – the final mode he designed for his children, who were cyborgs.

By harnessing the combat suit, one can unleash their full potential and generate tremendous power in a short period of time, but at a cost.
Sparks accompanied falling blood, lightning accompanied fragments of internal organs, and a deafening roar was accompanied by the sound of bones cracking.

They are accelerating.

They are dying.

"boom!"

A moment later, the three figures simultaneously crashed into the 'Heavenly Star' created by Yin Hu.

They each headed toward the three heads of Vinsmoke Weevil, who was pinned down and unable to move!

"Vinsmoke, Spark Red!"

Ichiji was the first to arrive in front of Whitebeard's head, and the burning flames struck a certain spot on Whitebeard's head.

"Vinsmoke, Electric Blue!"

Niji then arrived in front of Kaido's head, and lightning struck a spot on Kaido's head.

"Vinsmoke, winch green!"

Yuji was the third to arrive in front of Big Mom's head, and his fist also slammed into a certain spot on Big Mom's head.

As it should be.

The three men's attacks were utterly meaningless against Vinsmoke Weevil's physique—their heads were unharmed, not even a scratch.

But
"Detect Hidden Key"

"Determined to be a member of the Vinsmoke family."

"Special pause protocol activated. Control center about to open."

At that moment, the flames, lightning, and fist wind seemed to merge into the three heads, causing them to murmur the same words simultaneously.

His struggling movements stopped.

Meanwhile, the figures of the three Vinsmoke brothers slowly descended from the sky.

"No wonder he's my father—he always includes a 'backdoor' in his designs."

The flames on Ichi's body began to gradually die down.

"After all, he's a scientist."

The lightning on Nicholas's body began to dim gradually.

"How infuriating. I lost to you guys again."

Yuji's body began to gradually crumble.

And at this moment.

Judge below watched his three sons gradually lose their lives, his face still expressionless.

But his tears and snot were flowing uncontrollably again.

He seemed to want to say something, but ultimately swallowed it back and simply looked at Weevil.

Yes.

As his sons said. As a scientist.

When making weapons, Judge always leaves a 'backdoor' out of meticulousness.

This is especially true for weapons like the Vinsmoke Weevil, which have an extremely high risk factor.

He had to ensure that it could only be controlled by the Wensmoke family, and also that there was a way to stop it if it got out of control.

His choice was to become a 'bloodline factor modified human', a unique ability of the Vinsmoke family.

His three sons and daughters are all part of the key—if any three of them attack Weevil's three heads with their own 'traits,' the latter will stop automatically and reset the 'control center.'

Just like now.
"Click!"

At this moment, Vincemak Weevil's heart was visible.

The muscles between the sutures continued to break.

Amidst the blood and gore, a beautiful figure slowly emerged.

That was Vinsmoke Reiju.

However, at this moment, Reiju seemed extremely stiff.

There were connecting ropes on her head—the 'control center core' that transmitted commands to Weevil.

At this moment, the headphones she was wearing had been replaced with Den Den Mushi (snail phone).

At this moment, from that Den Den Mushi
"Hey! Reiju, immediately cancel your 'standby' status, then kill yourself—do you hear me? Do it right now!"

Bagin Gomna's voice, which was strikingly similar to Judge's, was still audible.

obviously.

During the battle just now, she controlled Reiju through these two Den Den Mushi.

But at this moment, her orders could not be conveyed to Reiju.

Vector control and sound wave cancellation

Without a sound, all surrounding sounds were erased.

And then it followed closely behind.
With a flick of his finger, Inatora shattered the Den Den Mushi next to Reiju's ear.

then
"Iji, Niji, Yuji."

At this moment, Reiju, who had finally regained control of her body, turned her gaze to her three younger brothers in front of her.

Before she could even speak.

The three Vinsmoke brothers reached out and grabbed Reiju.

"You survived, Reiju."

"not bad."

"While you're not as perfect as us, you're still pretty lucky."

They said this with a laugh as they pulled Reiju out of the 'control center'.

Then, the three of them forcefully threw Reiju downwards!
"Germana 66, final mission complete!" *3
As the three voices fell.

The smiles on their faces finally froze completely.

Death has come.

And looking at this scene.

"Iji, Niji, Yuji."

Reiju, who was thrown from the sky, was at a loss for words.

She disliked her three younger brothers and didn't even consider them 'human'.

But seeing them die right in front of her, she couldn't help but feel complicated emotions.

But I haven't been able to recover from my emotions yet.

"Da!" "Da!" "Da!"

Reiju had already heard the sounds from below.

She instinctively looked down and saw Judge, covered in wounds, staggering along.

He leaped forward and caught Reiju as she fell.

"!!!"

For a moment, Reiju was in a daze.

She felt as if she had traveled back to some distant past.

"Mother, when we passed through the Kingdom of Alancia before, I saw other children being held by their fathers. I want one too."

Those were the words she spoke to her mother, who was still alive when she was very young.

"Reiju, your father is very busy."

Her mother, a woman named Vinsmoke Solla, told her this.

"He doesn't have time for us, there's nothing we can do about it."

She would always so gently comfort Reiju, and give her a hug as well.

Reiju, of course, understood perfectly well.

My father is very busy.

He was busy with his career, his ambitions, and his research—he wouldn't waste his precious time on anything that was useless to him.

But for little Reiju...

She couldn't understand her father's coldness.

She only knew
"If I become useful to my father, will he be able to hug me?"

With that thought in mind, she did something.

She succeeded; she became someone useful to her father.

But
"I never expected this, I never expected it to be like this. Reiju is perfect, you are the perfect experiment!"

Her father was indeed very happy, but what greeted her was not a hug, but cold experimental equipment.

"You are the first, but you won't be the last. As long as I have your genes, I can create more 'bloodline factor modified humans' in the future!"

What she didn't expect was...

The embrace she had longed for but never received, she had finally obtained at that moment.

"boom!"

Judge held her and slammed her heavily onto the battlefield.

For Reiju, who had grown up, that hug wasn't exactly warm.

She lowered her head and looked at the father she had once deeply loved, but later deeply hated.

"Father."

In that instant, a glimmer of hope rekindled in her heart.

"Hehe. He."

At this moment, Judge, whose body had reached its limit, could barely breathe.

He looked at the daughter he and his sons had saved with their last breaths and struggled to speak.

But what he said was not, as Reiju had hoped, a confession of the sins of his life.

"Go find a genetically compatible man and have children."

"The Vinsmoke bloodline must never be severed."

What he said, though he forced it out, remained cold and indifferent.

Even Yin Hu frowned slightly as he listened.

So this guy risked his life to save Reiju just to ensure the Vinsmoke bloodline could continue to live on?
"."

But at this moment, it was Reiju herself who was not surprised.

She simply extinguished the last glimmer of hope that had been burning within her.

Yes.

Her father has always been that kind of man.

For the family, for Germa—she, her mother, her brothers. Everything was something that could be sacrificed.

She shouldn't have had such pointless fantasies in the first place.

"Germa Germa. Ho."

At this moment, Judge's words came to an end.

He seemed to want to talk about Germa, but ultimately...
"Reiju, live on."

At this point, his lips trembled again, as if he wanted to say something more.

But he still couldn't bring himself to say it.

The next moment, his eyes lost their luster, and his breathing completely stopped.

Strangely, Reiju suddenly froze after hearing her father's last words.

Outsiders may not understand, but as someone who has been ordered around by Judge my whole life...

She knew very well that if Judge really wanted to give an order, he should first issue a command—that is, call out 'Reiju's' name.

What follows is the 'command'.

just now.

He did not issue any 'instructions' regarding either having children and continuing the bloodline, or regarding Germa.

He only gave the final order at the very end.

The order was: Reiju, survive.

"."

Reiju stared blankly at her father, who was now completely dead.

She didn't know whether Judge's words were a 'mistake' caused by the pain of impending death, or if that was his true intention.

She didn't know what the last sentence her father hadn't been able to finish was.

Some of the colder words are even more chilling.

Or is it just a belated apology?
