Angel investor in the One Piece world

"In a blood relation sense?"

Upon hearing Sanji's words, Barto, ignoring the kick he'd just received, instinctively retorted, "Curly-browed, what heinous thing have you done that your father doesn't even recognize you anymore?"

"Shut up, you idiot!"

Sanji's forehead veins bulged.

Bartolomeo's witty remarks at least helped him recover from his low spirits. The boy lit a cigarette and said, "It's just blood ties. I stopped thinking there was anything between us a long time ago."

"Brother Damian, I don't know how much you know, but that bastard Judge is a scumbag who plays with life!"

"The Vinsmoke children were all products of his experiments; he wanted to create the strongest android."

"Artificial humans?"

Even Zoro was taken aback and asked, "Curly Eyebrows, aren't you human?"

"You idiot! Didn't I say they were androids?"

Sanji's forehead veins throbbed again.

"Artificial humans, humans created by humans..."

Robin wondered, "Was it created using some special method to piece together the different limbs?"

"It's not that scary."

Sanji's lips twitched. "Besides, I don't think I could even piece together a living person."

"hey-hey,"

Bartolomeo chuckled, "Everyone is an artificial being, isn't they?"

"You bastard, stop making lewd jokes here! Miss Robin is here!"

Sanji was so angry that he wanted to kick Bartolomeo again.

However, Barto, who had mastered Observation Haki, nimbly dodged it.

"Phew—stop interrupting!"

Sanji, no longer caring about his low mood, snapped, "Let me finish!"

I finally decided to confide in you about the shadows in my heart, can't you be a little more serious?

"The other children of the Vinsmoke family were the result of successful experiments."

Sanji said, "They have been incredibly strong since childhood, their skin is as hard as steel, they can recover quickly from injuries, and they each have their own special abilities."

"And I am a failure."

"I'm no different from ordinary people. I don't have any extraordinary abilities. I'm a complete failure. That's why Judge treats me like trash and wants to kill me."

"Only my mother cared about me, but she died later because of the experiments that bastard Judge conducted while she was pregnant. She wanted to stop the modification, so she took some kind of drug, but it didn't work, and her body became very weak."

"After that, Judge locked me up, and I almost died."

Sanji breathed a sigh of relief. "I finally escaped the Germa Kingdom with someone's help and ended up in the East Blue."

"I thought we'd never see each other again in this lifetime."

"Is that so?"

Damian nodded slightly.

"Are you kidding me! A failed experiment?"

Bartolomeo, who had just been joking with Sanji, suddenly snapped, "Curly-Eyebrowed, what else is your fault besides being a lecher, a womanizer, having curly eyebrows, and being a feminist?!"

"Apologize to curly eyebrows and feminists!"

Sanji raised his foot, intending to hit Barto again.

But this time, Bartolomeo didn't dodge; instead, he reached out and grabbed Sanji's foot.

"Big brother! I'm really annoyed!"

"In that case,"

Damian smiled. "Sanji, how about we go get some revenge?"

"That's right!"

Barto clenched his fist, though he was invisible to everyone. "Go show that idiot Judge who the real failure is!"

"Brother Damian...Bartolomeo..."

Sanji's expression changed slightly, and he felt a lump in his throat.

He took a breath, shook his head, and said, "No need, there's no need."

"It's necessary! It's absolutely necessary!"

Bartolomeo shouted, "Just for your mother!"

His eyes were filled with glistening tears. "Your mother wanted to stop her children from being reformed! You say she failed? No! Aren't you proof of her success?"

"You have to prove to that bastard Judge that you, the child born of your mother's expectations, are far superior to his proud children!"

"..."

Sanji was completely stunned.

Damian was also slightly taken aback.

I never realized before that Barto had such a talent for trash talk.

"but,"

Sanji was completely swayed, but he still hesitated. "Germa is a nation of warriors, where everyone is a soldier..."

"Just one country."

Damian smiled and said, "I'll handle it. You just need to go and properly repay your father."

Is it just one country?

Listening to Damian's words, Robin felt that this man's values ​​were fundamentally different from those of ordinary people.

He's too arrogant.

"good!"

Sanji finally made up his mind.

"Great, let's get the supplies and Robin back to the Sky Sword first."

……

The vast, interconnected kingdom is rapidly approaching the island ahead.

In the palace at the center of this artificial island, which is composed of platforms behind a large number of snails, Vinsmoke Judge, the King of Germa and head of the Vinsmoke family, pulled out the electromagnetic spear stuck next to the throne.

"Children!"

He tossed his cloak aside. "It's time to crush them!"

Below the steps of the throne stood his children.

Reiju, the tall and slender eldest daughter with pink hair.

Ichiji, the eldest son with red hair.

Niji, the second son with blue hair.

The green-haired fourth son, Yuji.

The four of them showed no change in expression, simply watching their father walk down the steps.

"Follow me into battle!"

Judge strode out of the palace.

His children followed silently behind him.

Outside the palace, soldiers were lined up in dense rows.

The burly men were almost all armed to the teeth.

But what's most striking is that all these soldiers have the same face.

They are all clones, created by Judge himself, a fearless and invincible army of androids!

In this country, there are only two groups: the Vinsmoke family, who are the rulers, and the soldiers.

The spear tip slammed heavily on the ground, and Judge picked up a telescope with his other hand, gazing at the distant coastline.

"snort,"

A cold smile crept across the arrogant king's lips. "You think a dozen ships and tens of thousands of soldiers can stop Germa?"

"Ignorant fool!"

"Whatever you like."

Behind him, his eldest son, Ichiji, asked casually, "Can we move out now?"

"I can't wait!"

The second son chimed in.

"This time I'm going to kill five thousand!"

The four were eager to get started.

Beside the three brothers, the eldest sister remained silent.

Unlike her three brothers who lacked normal human emotions, she, though unable to disobey Judge's orders, did possess feelings.

Judge ignored his sons' ravings, raised his electromagnetic spear, and shouted, "Charge!"

"Whoosh."

A dark shadow suddenly fell from the sky.

"Um?"

Before Judge could even see what the dark figure looked like, it vanished in a flash.

Despite his extensive combat experience, Judge was essentially a scientist and did not possess Haki. He was completely caught off guard at this moment.

"Lamb shoot!"

With its long, slender right leg propelled by extreme speed, it pierced through the air, the hard sole of its leather shoe slamming heavily into Judge's face.

The right foot, wreathed in invisible waves, instantly distorted Judge's face—he didn't possess an indestructible exoskeleton like his sons.

Whoosh!

Judge instantly transformed into a cannonball, flying backward and crashing through the palace gates into the palace.

"What?"

Reiju turned around, somewhat bewildered.

Father, was kicked away?

"Hahahaha! Father got kicked away!" The eldest son, Ichiji, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"That's hilarious! Father looks like a bowling pin!" Niji, the second son, chimed in.

The four sons burst into laughter, "Did Father get kicked to death?"

Hearing her younger brothers say those words, Reiju felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

These are her brothers, monsters with human appearances.

fine--

"You guys, you still look the same after all these years."

A soft voice sounded.

Reiju looked as if she had been struck by lightning, and she turned around in disbelief.

The blond young man standing not far in front of him calmly lit a cigarette.

"call--"

He slowly exhaled a smoke ring, then smiled brightly, "I'm back to deal with you all."
