I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"Rubber, rubber... rocket launcher!"

A loud shout came from the side.

His arm shot out rapidly and slammed down on the ground next to the Chainsaw Man maid with a thud.

The rubber rocket launcher, despite its impressive power, was all bark and no bite. When it hit the ground, it only made a soft "plop" sound, kicked up a cloud of dust, and didn't even break the ground. It hadn't exerted any force at all.

"Hey, Luffy, where are you hitting?"

Usopp yelled and fired his slingshot at the bald, muscular men who rushed at him.

But Luffy ignored everything and yelled "Oooooo!" as he unleashed a barrage of attacks on the empty floor.

No, it wasn't empty. In that open space, there was a ring-shaped mark painted in red, just like the bullseye of a target.

On the other side, a little girl, about ten years old, was sitting on a picnic blanket and drinking tea.

She was about ten years old, with long brown hair braided into two braids at the back of her head. There was a coffee table, paint palette, and paintbrushes next to her, just like a primary school student learning to paint on a field trip.

Luffy suddenly lost his mind and struggled with a small red mark, Zoro's sword had been sawed in half, and Sanji, a burly man, was unable to break free from the encirclement from all sides.

"What's going on with this town? Are we going to be captured?"

Usopp was in despair once again, and the three weaklings huddled together, trembling.

"If I were captured by these bald, burly men, who knows what might happen to me..."

Robin then calmly replied:

"They might shave the tops of your heads to make you look like adults, leaving only the fringe around your heads to resemble a mature man's Mediterranean hairstyle."

"Me... will I get a bald patch too?" Chopper shuddered, his hair practically standing on end.

Usopp quickly said, "Hey... don't say that so calmly. Robin, we can only rely on you now!"

Luffy and his crew were caught in a fierce battle. The weak trio trembled under the siege of the bald, burly man, while Robin remained motionless.

...........

The sea castle of the Kingdom of Germa.

In the square, the four members of the Vinsmoke family were gazing at a large cloud of fog over the sea to the side.

"A sudden fog?"

King Judge gazed at the misty water in the distance and frowned slightly.

Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?

Judge turned around and looked at one of his clone subordinates who was reporting.

"Did the Straw Hat Pirates' ship enter that fog ahead?" Judge asked.

"Yes."

"Incidentally, as the fog rolled in, we seemed to see a huge silhouette resembling a sailboat..."

Judge stared at the mist.

Because the terror ship was moving, even creating fog could not completely conceal its enormous hull, and occasionally a corner of this huge ship could be observed.

"It should be the Thriller Bark... the world's largest ship, an island ship... Heh, it's practically the same size as our Germa Kingdom."

Gaji chuckled coldly.

"I heard that Thriller Bark belongs to Gecko Moria, but he seems to have hidden it somewhere and hasn't shown up for a long time, probably because it's too big to move..."

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea, Moria?" Judge asked expressionlessly.

"Father, should we go in and capture Sanji of the Straw Hat Pirates?"

The eldest son, Ichiji, with his red hair, suggested.

Gaji was tempted.

The Germa Kingdom is quite powerful, and he wasn't too afraid of Moria.

“But…” The only daughter, Reiju, hesitated for a moment and raised an objection:

"We still need to hurry to meet up with the bandit king. Isn't that the top priority, Father?"

“Sanji is also very important,” Judge said in a deep voice.

"With him, I can use this opportunity to get in touch with one of the Four Emperors, Big Mom..."

Halfway through his sentence, Judge looked at his only daughter, who was 22 years old and in the prime of her life, and sighed softly:

"Reiju, it's a pity you're a bit too old, otherwise why would I have bothered with such thoughts..."

Chapter 1059 Germa

Deep within the spire castle of the terrifying three-masted ship.

The bald man was standing in front of the large screen in the monitoring room, staring at the giant snail fleet of the Germa Kingdom beyond the mist.

The Thriller Bark is the largest ship in the world, and the Germa Kingdom also possesses a massive fleet.

The Germa Kingdom is one of the member states of the World Government, but it is the only country in the world without its own territory. It relies on giant snails to support its fleet, traversing the five oceans and participating in wars between nations as a mercenary force.

If the Thriller Bark is a drifting island, then Germa is a wandering maritime nation.

One is a large, isolated island ship; the other is a drifting kingdom with a large fleet.

When the Germa Kingdom fleet spotted the giant sailing ship in the mist, Baldy and his crew also noticed the Germa Kingdom fleet approaching.

"The Kingdom of Germa... I remember it was one of the member states, right?"

A tall, burly man with short blond hair, carrying a giant axe on his back, stood in the shadows, grinning, seemingly eager to try.

"Should we take action? Attacking a member state would be no small matter."

"We've kept our ship well hidden all this time, but if we do this, we probably won't be able to keep it hidden anymore."

Ten years ago, Moonlight Moria was defeated on Thriller Bark, and his ship was stolen.

The only bystanders at the time were Tiramisu and her crew, reporters from the Big Mom Pirates, and they were not known to the world... They only knew that Moria had been defeated by Higuma, which was a completely different matter from Higuma secretly taking over the giant ship.

In short, neither Moria nor Siegfried would publicize the theft of Thriller Bark.

Of course, this was also due to the covert protection of General Higuma.

Even the Navy was unaware of Moria's defeat, and he was not stripped of his title as a Shichibukai. Over the years, he has been running around, scheming to reclaim the ship.

So to outsiders, Moria had simply been out of contact for a while, secretly hiding his giant ship. This was quite in line with Moria's reclusive, chubby style, and no one suspected anything.

This is why the main members of the Sig Mountain Bandits were able to remain hidden in the Devil's Triangle for ten years.

But shortly after leaving the misty Devil's Triangle, they encountered the massive fleet of the Germa Kingdom.

"No, they might be considered business partners... but it's hard to say, the business deal hasn't been finalized yet."

The bald man responded in this way.

Gulp gulp....

Beside him, a chubby, round-faced panda-like rum took a swig of liquor, his eyes glazed with drunkenness:

“I remember the king of the Germa Kingdom is Judge… This guy is an old acquaintance; he was Dr. Vegapunk’s colleague.”

"Regardless of his attitude, since he brought his troops here, we have to go and see what's going on..."

..............

On the outskirts of the island's towns, the Straw Hat Pirates were already engaged in a fierce battle.

Luffy continued to relentlessly attack the floor, while Sanji was already engulfed in a sea of ​​bald giants.

Zoro's black sword Shusui trembled violently, sparks flying as it was slashed by the chainsaw.

Similar to when he faced Guina, Veben now wielded three menacing chainsaws, launching a swift and brutal attack.

The chainsaw is far more intimidating than other weapons, not to mention that the sharp sword Yukizoku had just been sawed through, and no one wanted to test the sharpness of the saw blade.

But suddenly.

The chainsaw-wielding maid seemed to realize something; she leaped back and looked warily toward the distant coastline.

There, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard.

One by one, identical clone soldiers marched in, each wearing the same uniform and expressionless.

Above them, five members of the Vinsmoke family, dressed in various combat suits, floated in the air and charged towards them.

"So you are here after all, Sanji." A cold voice rang out.

Judge looked down at Sanji and the others below him, but there was no joy on his face as if he were reuniting with his son.

Not only him, but Judge's three sons also seemed to be cut from the same template, all with cold faces.

Only Reiju's eyes showed a hint of gentleness, but it quickly faded, and her expression returned to indifference, just like her brothers.

"Sanji? Is this your friend?"

Although Usopp was confused about the situation, he could tell from Judge's imposing manner and the sheer number of clones that the other side was extraordinary.

"Great! Can I ask your friends for help?" Usopp felt a surge of hope.

"Reinforcements?"

Viben glanced at the Germa Legion ahead. Not only did they have an absolute numerical advantage, but Judge and his men, who were at the head of the legion, also had an impressive aura.

She ordered the bald, muscular men to step back slightly, creating distance between themselves and the Germa Legion, and to stand in pairs.

As they left, Sanji's figure was finally revealed.

He, who was just a big man, now had a disheveled suit, his tie was torn off for some reason, his shirt was uneven, and his hair was messy.

"What are you talking about, friends..." Sanji turned around.

His expression froze the moment he saw Judge and the others.

Compared to Judge and the others, who were dressed in various battle suits and looked neat and presentable, his clothes were disheveled at the moment, showing a stark contrast.

"We are not Lord Sanji's friends."

A clone officer stepped forward, bowed respectfully to Sanji from afar, his expression impeccable:
