Angel investor in the One Piece world

This is an ordinary seaside port town, but the atmosphere in the whole city is a bit too oppressive at this moment.

Outside the port, more than a dozen warships lay across the sea.

On the decks of these warships, heavily armed soldiers were hurriedly carrying ammunition.

"We must not allow the enemy to land! We must give the people time to evacuate!"

On the bow of one of the warships, a man in military uniform roared, "His Majesty the King has requested government mediation! Until then, we will defend our borders to the death!"

Along the coast, heavy artillery has been set up, and more soldiers are on high alert.

However, no one saw that on the roof of a house in the harbor, several people were standing quietly.

"That's amazing."

Robin turned his head in surprise.

There were several people standing around her, but she couldn't see any of them.

"This is the Mirage Gun that Brother Damian gave me, Miss Robin!!"

Even though the place was completely deserted, Sanji's excited voice rang out, "It's amazing, isn't it!"

It's just like a child showing off their toys.

"Not worth mentioning."

Damian, who was also wearing a bubble, chuckled.

Even if the city were in a state of war, Robin would not be in a position to appear here under normal circumstances.

"But is war really about to break out here?"

Sauron turned back, outside the port.

The already narrow streets were now filled with anxious people, carrying large bags of luggage and leading elderly parents or young children, as if they were being chased by evil spirits.

"And it should have come very suddenly."

Sanji guessed, "Otherwise, the fleet wouldn't have arrived and the citizens still haven't been evacuated."

"But brother,"

Bartolomeo asked, somewhat puzzled, "Isn't this country a member state of the World Government? How come it's being attacked?"

"Republics?"

Damian smiled. "Wouldn't it be better if the enemy was also a member state?"

Wasn't Luo's homeland destroyed by a neighboring country?

The ocean is never peaceful.

It's not just that countless pirates endlessly wreak havoc on the world.

Wars between nations are also an ever-present theme on the ocean.

Non-member states, left unattended, are naturally plagued by constant warfare, with pirates, gangs, human traffickers, and even member states taking turns ravaging them.

However, wars also frequently break out between the member states of the World Government.

Bartolomeo chuckled. "Never experienced war before, brother! Why don't you stay and have some fun?"

"There's no need."

Damian shook his head.

War between ordinary people meant nothing to him.

"Let's go, the supplies have been replenished."

Damian said, "Let's go back."

The replenishment process went quite smoothly. Many people couldn't take their belongings with them, so they naturally preferred to exchange them for Pelé.

His Observation Haki had spread out again, ready to confirm the location of the Sky Sword in the sky.

but.

"Um?"

Damian looked up.

The gaze seemed to travel across the sea and land in the distance.

I can sense it; a large amount of energy is approaching.

Interesting.

Damian's lips curled into a smile.

As his Observation Haki improved rapidly, it also developed its own unique characteristics.

Just as Luffy excels at sensing emotions and Fujitora excels at hearing sounds, Damian's Observation Haki, in addition to being able to sense the strength and differences of auras, can also sense the outlines of things, much like ultrasonic probes.

That's why he was able to discover the Bika ruins hidden deep underground.

At this moment, he sensed something strange about the rapidly approaching auras.

A series of enormous, snail-shaped creatures were pieced together to form a huge platform, on which were numerous buildings and humans.

What a coincidence! What a coincidence!

perhaps……

"They're here."

Damian spoke.

"You're here?"

Bartolomeo immediately chimed in, "What's coming?"

"Most people think they're just a legend."

Damian said, "But they really do exist."

Upon hearing his words, Sanji's expression changed slightly, his already pale face turning even paler.

No way?

But in Beihai, the only thing that comes to mind when you hear Brother Damian's description is...

Could it be such a coincidence?

"Huh? A legend?"

Barto pressed on, "What legend? Have I heard of it?"

"You've not only heard of it, you've also seen it."

Damian said, "You'll find out soon enough."

We're very close now.

As if to prove his point, something suddenly appeared at the far end of the horizon.

It started as a small dot, but soon it became a large shadow, like a dark cloud crawling across the sea.

"Something's really coming!"

Zoro exclaimed, "Damian, how did you know?"

He had been thinking Damian was bragging.

This kid's reaction is way too slow!

Wasn't it already demonstrated when we were on the moon?

"Of course it's Big Brother's Observation Haki!"

Barto said matter-of-factly.

"Are you kidding me! Damian hasn't even known Observation Haki for very long!"

Zoro is no longer a novice; he has a fairly deep understanding of Haki.

Damian may be as strong as a monster, but how long has he been using Haki? How could he possibly identify the newcomer from such a distance?

Damian simply smiled.

"Wait! What's that?"

Robin suddenly exclaimed, "It's not a ship! It's—"

"..."

Bartolomeo, who was looking over, was speechless.

In the distance, on the sea, a city sailing on the water appears to be sweeping in like dark clouds!

Beneath the flat panel supporting the city are giant, tire-like structures.

Barto's voice filled with immense joy, "Those giant tires are snail shells! They've retreated into their shells! Brother! Could it be that the story in the comic book is true? They are—"

"It's Germa 66!!"

On the shore, the soldiers, having clearly seen the approaching dark cloud, nearly screamed in agony.

On the warships on the sea ahead.

The officer, who had been prepared to defend the nation's borders to the death, broke out in a cold sweat. "What a joke! They... hired Germa?"

Although, due to the World Government's propaganda, the Germa Kingdom has become a mere myth in the North Blue.

But a high-ranking officer like him certainly knew that Germa was a real entity, and that it had even unified the North Sea many years ago!

Even though they have now lost their homeland and become a nation of wandering mercenaries, the Germa Legion is still so terrifying that the nations of the North Sea simply cannot resist it!

"It really is Germa!"

Barto was ecstatic. "Hahaha! Big brother! Will we get to see Spark Red and Electric Blue this time?"

"What?"

Zoro was confused. "Cockscomb, do you know those guys coming up?"

"The comic book stories my older brother and I read in the newspaper when we were little!"

Barto exclaimed excitedly, "The Germa Kingdom, the evil kingdom that fought against the legendary naval hero Sora! I never imagined it actually existed!"

"newspaper?"

Zoro thought for a moment, then asked suspiciously, "Why haven't I seen this before?"

"It's a newspaper from Beihai."

Damian said, "When I was a child, I wanted to understand the changes in the world, so I always asked the World Economic News to send me newspapers from other sea areas."

"Germany..."

Robin said softly, "I've heard of it too. It's the only country in the world without any territory."

At that moment, Bartolomeo suddenly remembered something. "Curly Eyebrows, why haven't you said anything since earlier?"

Sanji was speechless.

He just stared blankly at the country rapidly approaching on the distant sea, his pupils trembling.

Nightmarish memories flooded back, almost stopping my breathing.

"Hey! Curly Eyebrows! What's wrong with you?"

Barto realized something was wrong.

"Sanji,"

At this moment, Damian slowly spoke, "I've wanted to ask this for a long time: is your full name Vinsmoke Sanji?"

"Vinsmoke?"

Bartolomeo turned around in disbelief. "Brother, what did you say? Vinsmoke? That's the royal family name of the Kingdom of Germa!"

Vinsmoke...

The familiar surname finally brought Sanji back to his senses.

He gave a wry smile. "Brother Damian, how did you know?"

"The appearance of the three Vinsmoke brothers isn't exactly a top secret,"

Damian made up a story, "I've seen their photos, and they look exactly like you except for their hair, especially their signature curly eyebrows."

"..."

Sanji fell silent.

Curled eyebrows! Really?

Barto exclaimed repeatedly, "You really are from the Vinsmoke family? Then who are you? Spark Red, Electric Blue, Winch Green, Poison Powder, I know! You're Lustful Yellow!"

"You idiot!"

Sanji, who was immersed in painful memories, was abruptly interrupted by Bartolomeo's words and angrily kicked Bartolomeo in the buttocks following the sound.

He took a deep breath.

"That's right, Brother Damian, my father by blood is indeed King Vinsmoke Judge of the Germa Kingdom."
