Angel investor in the One Piece world

"Huh?"

Even the cheerful and outgoing Reiju was stunned. She even wanted to pinch herself because she suspected she might be hallucinating.

"Mr. Damian, what are you saying?"

Damian patiently repeated himself, "I said, Mr. Judge is no longer suitable to be the King of Germa."

"And the other three heirs of the kingdom are not normal people, so Miss Reiju, you are the most suitable candidate."

"That's right!"

Sanji's eyes lit up too. "Reiju, why don't you give it a try!"

He didn't believe in Judge's character at all; after all, no one can believe in something that never existed.

Even if he admits defeat now, he will definitely make a comeback once he recovers his strength.

Sanji didn't want to cause trouble for Damian because of his kindness.

But wouldn't it be better if Reiju became the queen of Germa Kingdom and took control of Vinsmoke?

"No, no, no! How can you do that!"

Before Reiju could answer, Judge was already getting impatient. He exclaimed, "Reiju is too young! She doesn't have the ability to manage a country!"

Although the Germa Kingdom is almost entirely composed of soldiers, it is not without normal residents; there are many maids in the royal palace.

"yes,"

Reiju sighed and said gently, "And Sanji, you know I can't go against my father."

Sanji's expression froze instantly.

What does it mean to be unable to resist?

Barto, puzzled, said, "Reiju-nii! If you're unhappy, just fight back. Isn't that the simplest logic?"

Although they are the same age, Barto subconsciously calls Reiju "older sister".

"That bastard modified them!"

Sanji glared at Judge, his tone cold and sharp, "They absolutely cannot resist him!"

Yes.

How could he forget?

Neither the sister nor the three idiots could resist Judge.

This was decided before they were even born; it was part of the transformation that scumbag Judge was putting into them!

"What?"

Barto was stunned for a moment, then kicked Judge in the stomach without hesitation, sending the man flying. "You killed your own wife! You reformed and enslaved your own children! How can there be such scum in the world!"

Judge clutched his stomach, his already bloodied face contorted in pain, but he didn't dare utter a single cry.

This mysterious Mr. Moretti is a real monster!

"Kill him."

Zoro suggested.

"Please show mercy."

Reiju smiled bitterly.

Although the father was certainly not a good person at all, he was actually quite good to himself and his three brothers, except for Sanji.

Even if it's done with the attitude of cherishing a precious tool.

"So what should we do now?"

Barto grinned, "Big brother! Think of something quick!"

"Actually, it's very simple."

Damian lifted his finger slightly.

Judge couldn't help but look at him.

Then there's Conqueror's Haki.

Black and red lightning bolts leaped from Judge's body again, almost causing the already weakened Judge to faint.

"Mr. Judge, please look over here."

Damian took out a pocket watch from his breast pocket.

The pocket watch started to swing. "I'll count to three, and you'll be hypnotized."

Judge stared blankly at the swaying pocket watch, his eyes following its movement.

"Huh?"

Sanji was shocked. "Hypnosis?"

Is Brother Damian joking?

Does this tactic really work?

"1, 2, 3."

As Damian finished speaking, Judge's eyes instantly became lifeless.

"Then tell me, Judge, how do you control your children?"

Damian asked.

"Through a special pheromone."

Judge's tone was indifferent, like a human machine, "They are like worker bees, unable to resist me who releases special pheromones. This is an ironclad rule written into the very foundation of their bloodline factors."

"It worked?"

Reiju's red lips parted slightly.

No way?

Damian was not surprised.

It's true that hypnosis only works on people with weak willpower or who are very simple-minded, but no one has said that Vinsmoke Judge, one of the world's most renowned scientists and the one feared in the North Sea, was a person with strong willpower.

He was the kind of person who cried in terror after learning he was going to die.

Despicable and cold-blooded, cruel and cowardly—that is the essence of Judge.

Once you beat him until he's unconscious, it won't be difficult to hypnotize him.

"Could it compensate for Reiju's deficiencies and give her similar pheromones?"

Damian asked.

"It's very simple."

Judge remained expressionless. "I've already prepared supplements for Reiju."

"What?"

Sanji and Reiju were both taken aback.

"Are you kidding me?"

Sanji could hardly believe it. "You'd be that kind?"

Barto nodded in deep agreement. This man, born the same as him, would do such a thing?

"The three Ichi brothers lack normal human emotions; they are suited to be weapons, not decision-makers."

Judge continued, "Reiju is the sole heir of the Vinsmoke family. Once I have fulfilled my long-cherished wish of unifying the North Blue, she will inherit the family's legacy."

Reiju's expression suddenly became very complicated.

Sanji didn't know what to say.

Ultimately, it's all for the sake of the so-called family.

"That makes it very simple."

Damian smiled and said, "Now, remember one thing: Reiju is a more suitable candidate for king than you. She is more capable of leading the Vinsmoke family to glory. You should give the throne to her and assist her as a scientist."

"Write this sentence deep in your heart, and from now on, all your actions and even your thoughts must not violate this principle."

"Give the throne to Reiju and assist her as a scientist..."

Judge kept muttering to himself, as if trying to etch these words into his mind.

Damian nodded. "You'll wake up after I snap my fingers. You won't remember that I hypnotized you, but you'll never forget what I just said."

As he spoke, he snapped his fingers.

Judge suddenly lowered his head.

"Alright."

Damian said with satisfaction.

"Is that enough?"

Zoro exclaimed incredulously, "Damian, are you serious? This is it?"

Damian smiled. "Whether it will succeed or not, you should ask Judge."

"Mr. Judge, what do you think about making Reiju the Queen of Germa?"

"I agree!"

Judge, who had been looking down, suddenly looked up, his bloodied face filled with urgency. "Why didn't I think of that sooner! Reiju is clearly the one most likely to lead the Vinsmoke to revival! I should have given her the throne and the position of head of the family long ago!"

"Eh!!"

Zoro was dumbfounded. "Really?!"

Sanji's hands were also shaking a little. Just how many amazing moves does Damian know?

Reiju gasped in shock.

Honestly, it's terrifying.

Was the father's will thus distorted?

"Congratulations, Ms. Reiju."

Damian smiled. "From today onwards, you are the Queen of the Kingdom of Germa."

"..."

Reiju remained silent.

She sighed deeply. "Since that's the case, it seems I have no other choice."

"The Queen? Ta-da!"

she says.

"That's good!"

Sanji also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Reiju would be alright.

"So, Miss Reiju, as the current head of the Vinsmoke family, is it possible for you to do business with our Moretti family?"

Damian became slightly more serious.

"Oh?"

Reiju immediately got into character as well, "Mr. Damian, please speak."

"I've been fascinated by the Vinsmoke family's battle suits ever since I was a child, when I read comic books about them."

Damian said that.

Barto, standing beside him, had his eyes light up. "Big brother! Could it be—"

"So, could it be that...?" Damian smiled slightly. "Then, could I order a few combat suits from you?"

Having the bloodline factor, wouldn't it be a shame not to have a combat suit?

With this thing, the power of the bloodline factor can be maximized.

Reiju glanced at her father, who was staring at her with burning eyes, and then said to Damian, "That's not a problem. It's just that without the bloodline factor, the combat suit's performance cannot be fully utilized."

"That's enough."

Damian nodded seriously.

Even without bloodline factors, the speed, strength, and defense boosted by the combat suit alone are more than enough.

"Alright then."

Reiju said, "I'll have my father start making it right away."

They got into character very quickly.

"Based on this, Mr. Damian,"

Reiju suddenly smiled brightly, "How about we deepen our relationship a bit more? Your Moretti family and our Vinsmoke family can definitely form a defensive alliance."

"Oh?"

Damian raised an eyebrow. "Sounds very good."

Forming an alliance with a member state of the World Government, especially a nation as militarily virtuous as Germa, can't possibly be a bad thing.

"Then it's a pleasure to cooperate!"

Reiju reached out her hand to Damian. Not to mention that Damian is Sanji's older brother, just looking at his extraordinary strength, it would be a great deal to ally with him.

Damian smiled and took Reiju's delicate hand in his.

"It's a pleasure working with you."
