Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Even though Eich doesn't feel any fear, he feels that the beliefs he has held in the past are rapidly collapsing.

Germa 66's technology should be the most advanced in the world, and Ichi's combat suit has incorporated Germa 66's highest technology. How could it be so vulnerable?

However, the cold snap will not give Ichiji time to think.

In just a moment, the ice had spread to Ichiji's shoulder and was about to move toward his head.

In that critical moment, Yuji leaped into the air from behind Ichiji and grabbed Ichiji's cloak, pulling him up as well, narrowly avoiding the ensuing blast of cold air.

"Big brother, don't be careless. This guy is an opponent we should go all out against."

Yuji spoke with an arrogance beyond his years, leaving Ichi completely at a loss for words to explain that he had just gone all out.

However, the terror of that cold current far exceeded the range that the flames released by the Ichi combat suit could withstand.

The next moment, as always, Yonji slightly turned and twisted, beginning to gather his strength...

Immediately, Ichi realized that Yonji intended to throw him directly towards Arn.

In normal combat, this kind of coordination would naturally be no problem, and with Yuji's monstrous strength and the resulting throwing speed, the enemy would be caught off guard.

only……

Even if Ichiji's arms were still frozen, even if he were in good condition, he would have realized that he and Arn were not on the same level at all.

Once Yonji throws him, Ichi feels he might be instantly killed.

"Don't……"

However, before Ichi could even speak, Yonji's monstrous strength erupted, sending Ichi hurtling towards Aon like a cannonball.

"Go, big brother, show the power of Germa 66!"

At that very moment, Yann's eyes narrowed slightly, and Hyōrinmaru, which was continuously emitting terrifying cold energy, spun around and flew straight up into the sky.

"Ice Dragon Tail - Skybreaker"

Suddenly, the vast expanse of ice beneath Yonji and Ichiji resembled the gaping maw of an ice dragon, abruptly closing in on them.

"Click...click..."

A series of freezing sounds rang out, and an iceberg that looked exceptionally crystal clear under the refraction of moonlight suddenly stood in front of Judge, who was still in a daze.

The three brothers, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji, were completely frozen in different poses, and even their expressions were lifelike.

"This...it hasn't been that long, and Ichiji, Niji, Yonji...they've already been defeated?!"

Judge muttered to himself, his eyes filled with shock, fear, and disbelief, and he instinctively took a slow step back.

As for Reiju, who was wearing a pink combat suit and wasn't in a hurry to attack, she was completely shocked.

It's important to know that Reiju, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji were all modified with "bloodline factors" before they were even born, thus gaining superhuman strength from birth.

Even though they are young, they don't look much different from children.

However, Reiju, Ichiji, Ichiji, and Yonji, with their custom-made combat suits, have completely surpassed the combat power of ordinary pirates with bounties of over 100 million, and are currently the strongest combat force of Germa 66.

That's why Judge always called Reiju and the three brothers Ichiji the greatest masterpiece of Germa 66, and he despised Sanji, who acted like an ordinary child and liked to cook.

However, in just that instant...

“Ichiji, Niji, Yonji…” Unlike the three Ichiji brothers, Reiju, who retained all her emotions, couldn’t help but swallow hard, feeling a sense of fear.

"Snap, snap..."

The boots under Yann's feet made a somewhat harsh scraping sound as he stood on the ice mountain that had frozen Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji, looking down at Judge and Reiju below.

At that moment, Reiju felt a mix of fear and inexplicable irony.

Father… abandoned family ties, sacrificed the power Mother had chosen to gain, the power she hoped to use to rule the entire North Sea, the power she even planned to make a name for herself at the World Conference—it was all so laughable…

Arn's gaze swept over Reiju and then turned to the middle-aged man in the golden cloak and special combat suit, confirming in a cold voice.

"Vinsmoke Judge?"

Hearing that voice, as chilling as a piercing wind, Judge's body trembled slightly, then he forced a calm reply. "That's right, I am Vinsmoke Judge, commander of Germa 66!"

"very good……"

A smile appeared beneath Yaen's mask, and he spoke directly, "The purpose of my visit is to make a deal with you."

Upon hearing this, Judge secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became even more composed as he asked with feigned composure, "What does Lord Hyōrinmaru desire?"

Yann nodded and said frankly.

“It’s very simple. I need all the ‘bloodline factor’ technologies you possess. In exchange, I can grant you any one of your requests.”

"impossible!!!"

Almost instinctively, Judge refused without the slightest hesitation.

In an instant, Yann's eyes turned cold.

If it weren't for the concern that forcibly seizing the "bloodline factor" technology would cause a deficiency in the "bloodline factor" sequence that Arn needed, Arn would definitely not have bothered wasting time here with Judge.

So, despite his burning anxiety, Yann forced himself to suppress his irritation and spoke again.

“Judge, in terms of value, the conditions I can agree to are definitely more precious than the ‘bloodline factor’ technology. You can consider it. As long as it’s within my power and not too unreasonable, I can help you achieve it.”

It could be said that this was the greatest sincerity that Yann could offer in his haste, and he didn't even have the mind to bargain with Judge.

However, Judge didn't even consider Arn's so-called advice.

The "Bloodline Factor" technology is the foundation of Germal 66 today, and also the reliance that Judge hopes the Vinsmoke family can once again unify the North Blue. How could Judge possibly be willing to hand over the "Bloodline Factor" technology, which is already tied to his own ambitions and dreams? (To be continued)

[Chapter 397. The Issue of Compensation]

As for the man in front of him?

Their strength is indeed terrifying, and their claim to be from the "Hueco Mundo Organization" is something that makes Judge fearful, but so what?

For Judge, who harbors the ideal of making Germa 66 great again, being just a strongman is far from enough.

If the other party has a powerful force behind them comparable to the World Government, then there is a chance.

But where in this ocean does one find a power comparable to the World Government?

Therefore, under Arn's slightly expectant gaze, Judge directly refused in an extremely official tone.

"Impossible. Although I don't know where you heard that from, 'bloodline factor' technology is a project that the World Government has banned from research. How could Jemar 66, as one of the member states of the World Government, possibly possess such a forbidden technology?"

Immediately, Judge, while preparing himself, tried to calm Arn down.

"Lord Hyōrinmaru, I don't know where this slanderous rumor against Germal 66 came from, please don't believe it..."

Before Judge could finish speaking, the chill emanating from Arn suddenly spread, instantly transforming the surrounding environment into a winter island, bitterly cold.

At that moment, Gaji felt a subconscious fear, but he still forced himself to remain calm and continued speaking.

"If Lord Hyōrinmaru needs anything from Germa 66, Germa 66 is more than willing to befriend Lord Hyōrinmaru."

"Is that so? Is this your answer?" Yann said in an extremely cold voice.

"I'm sorry, Lord Hyōrinmaru, but Germa 66 really doesn't have any bloodline factor technology," Judge insisted through gritted teeth.

Yarn shook his head and sighed. "Yes, it's a real shame the deal didn't go through..."

Upon hearing this, Judge's pupils contracted, and he quickly spoke up to remind him.

"Lord Hyōrinmaru, Germa 66 is one of the member states of the World Government, and it is currently in the midst of a World Conference, with its naval fleet nearby."

Arn glanced calmly at Judge, who was somewhat flustered but trying to maintain his composure, and naturally knew how credible Judge's words were.

In fact, the reason why Yan was able to find the location of "Germa 66" was because he confirmed through the Revolutionary Army's intelligence network that "Germa 66" had set off to attend the World Conference.

Afterwards, Yann flew swiftly to the vicinity of the temporary North Blue of the Grand Line. Unable to find any trace of "Germa 66", he still managed to roughly deduce its location through the Navy's internal intelligence network.

Therefore, Yannbiger Gadgetz knew much better than anyone else how far the Navy was from "Derma 66".

"Is that so? So the navy is nearby. In that case, you can shout for help now..."

As Yann continued to put pressure on Judge, he spoke calmly, "If no one else appears, then we can begin discussing the compensation issue."

Judge, whose expression had been growing increasingly grim, suddenly froze, asking in confusion, "The issue of compensation?"

“I’m not a pirate, and plundering without cause is not for me. So since the deal can’t be done, let’s discuss proper compensation.” Yann said in a cold tone.

Judge was immediately shocked, never expecting that this seemingly terrifying and mysterious man would be so reasonable.

Instead of a falling out, they demanded compensation when the deal fell through.

When did the men of this sea become so well-mannered?

This made Judge feel a little embarrassed, as he felt that he had been petty.

Immediately, Judge glanced at the iceberg in front of him and the ice block that covered the entire ground, and waved his hand magnanimously.

"No need for compensation or anything like that. This kind of loss is nothing to Germa 66."

After a pause, Judge added.

"Don't worry about Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji. Their bodies are different from ordinary people. No matter how serious the injury is, they can recover easily. It's nothing to worry about."

Yaen shook his head, speaking in a firm and cold tone, "No, compensation is still necessary. After all, my losses are considerable, and it's impossible to just let it go like this."

In an instant, Judge's expression froze completely, and he subconsciously asked, "Wait, weren't you supposed to compensate me?"

What are you saying?

"Of course, you should compensate me," Yann said matter-of-factly.

"Are you kidding me? Why should Germa 66 compensate you?" Judge asked loudly.

Yann raised his eyelids slightly and slowly began to speak.

"When I was passing over the doldrums, I was subjected to unprovoked shelling by the Germa 66, which gave me a certain degree of fright."

“Your three sons launched an attack on me, causing my strength to be significantly depleted.”

"In addition, the failed transaction caused me to lose a great deal of time. Considering all of this, shouldn't I be compensated?"

At this moment, Judge's eyes widened almost uncontrollably, completely unable to believe that the man in front of him would actually... actually...

Even with Judge's thuggishness and shamelessness, it's completely unimaginable that anyone could say such a thing.

"These...these can be considered reasons?"

Judge shouted angrily, his face turning red.
