Sanji's Fury!

Germa Kingdom - Flagship Throne Hall

The cold, metallic hall was like a cage forged from steel, with energy pipes embedded in the walls, emitting a low hum.

The towering Throne symbolizes supreme power.

Vinsmoke Judge sat atop it, his long golden hair cascading down the sides of his helmet, his sharp black beard bristling like a blade.

His hawk-like eyes flashed with a cold light, carrying ruthlessness and arrogance as he swept over the two people who stepped into the hall.

As Reiju led Sanji in, Judge let out a cold snort, "You dare to come back?"

Sanji paused, but instead of bowing his head, he met his father's gaze without fear, his voice icy. "Didn't you deliberately force me to come back?"

"Who do you think wants to go back to this cold, lifeless place?!"

Judge's brows furrowed sharply, and he gripped the armrests of the Throne so tightly they cracked. "After all these years away, haven't you learned a single rule?!"

His furious roar shook the entire hall like thunder, carrying an irresistible sense of oppression.

"Cooking is a job for the lower classes! Doing such a lowly job for too long will make even royalty lose their dignity?!"

"You have Vinsmoke blood in your veins! You are Germa Royal Family!"

"Instead of being a lowly commoner revolving around the stove!!"

"Boom--"

Sanji's pupils contracted sharply, and the cigarette in his hand was crushed to pieces!

"Shut up!!"

His roar was like flames sweeping across the entire hall, causing the neatly arranged Clone Soldiers around him to tremble.

"What's wrong with the chef?! What's wrong with cooking?!"

"To bring happiness and sustenance to others with your own hands—that is a thousand times nobler than to create war and death with your own hands!!"

He took a sudden step forward, his footsteps echoing on the metal floor, his eyes burning with rage. "Your so-called 'royal dignity'..."

"So you're saying we use Lineage Factors to modify our children?!"

"So you're just sending soulless Clone Soldiers to trample on life?!"

"So you're using North Blue as your war testing ground?!"

Judge suddenly stood up, his figure pressing down like a giant steel tower, his metal cloak Hunting Roar with his movements.

The oppressive feeling emanating from his stature and imposing presence was like a mountain pressing down.

"Presumptuous!!"

"Without Germa's technology and military might, the North Blue would have been torn to shreds by Pirates long ago!"

"You think so-called peace is achieved by 'cooking'?!"

The air seemed to freeze, and sparks and cold light collided invisibly in the hall.

Reiju stood between the two, her eyes obscured by her bangs, her expression indistinct.

She gently took Sanji's arm, her voice low and trembling slightly. "Sanji... calm down..."

Sanji abruptly shook off her hand, ash falling from his fingers, his gaze fixed on Judge with fiery intensity. "You forced me back, what do you want?!"

"Stop talking about that bullshit family honor!!"

Judge's lips twitched, then he grinned, revealing a sinister smile, "Heh... since you're so direct, then let me tell you the truth."

He suddenly raised his hand and waved it gently, causing energy lines to light up on the metal floor in the center of the hall.

Amidst the roar, a holographic projection appeared.

Reflected in the sky are the magnificent islands of the Totto Land, and that enormous, terrifying figure.

"Germa needs to form a marriage alliance with the Big Mom Pirates." Judge's voice was icy, like a hammer striking.

And you—are the most suitable bargaining chip!

"What?!"

Sanji's pupils suddenly contracted, and his chest felt as if it were being burned by flames.

"Me? A marriage alliance?! With the Big Mom Pirates?!"

Judge sneered, his eyes gleaming with fanaticism. "That's right! Only by allying with the Four Emperors can Germa truly set foot in the New World!"

"And you— Vinsmoke Sanji —will become the 'link' between Germa and Totto Land Island!"

Sanji paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed, a cold laugh full of sarcasm.

"To protect Germa?"

"To trade the happiness of one's children for a mere existence?"

"Is this what you call 'honor'?"

His laughter abruptly stopped, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and his voice roared like thunder, "Stop deceiving yourself!!"

"You were only forced into this by the tyranny of the Four Emperors!"

"They just want to use my naval identity to gather intelligence and distract their opponents!!"

"Boom!"

Judge's expression changed drastically, a look of shock flashing in his eyes. "You--!"

Sanji's eyes burned with rage as he roared without backing down, "Don't even think about it!!"

"Now that I've joined the Navy, there's no way I could betray them!!"

"I can't help you!!"

Judge's roar was like the thunder of war drums, its sound reverberating throughout the entire hall.

"The traitor!!"

The next instant, he was enraged, his figure suddenly leaping off the Throne, his Iron Fist aimed straight at Sanji's face!

"Boom!!"

The two forces collided in the center of the hall, the air suddenly exploded, the metal walls cracked instantly, and the Clone Soldiers were all sent flying backward!

The Impact of flames and metal shook the entire ship!

Sanji and Judge clashed in fury, and in the midst of their fists and kicks, the steel wall of the hall was completely blasted through!

"Boom--!"

The two fought fiercely all the way from the hall to the square outside!

Metal fragments and sparks flew through the air, and the sky Germa was finally ignited by the fury between the father and son!

Judge's roar mingled with the booming of high-voltage electricity, tearing the entire plaza apart with blue and white electric light!

"Electromagnetic Shatter Kick!!"

His boots unleashed a violent electric current that coiled around his ankles like venomous snakes, accompanied by a burst of air, as he delivered a powerful kick straight for Sanji's throat!

Sanji's eyes were icy cold as Armament Haki instantly covered his right leg, Diable Jambe ignited with blazing white flames!

"Diable Jambe - Mouton Shot!"

"Boom!!"

The head-on collision of electricity and flame unleashed Impact shockwave, Judge staggering Backtrack several steps, the electric light on his boots flickering on and off!

"Varied--?!"

Judge stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "This kid's power... completely suppresses my technological weaponry?!"

He roared and thrust his spear forward!

Electromagnetic Thrust!

The spearhead, imbued with high-voltage electricity, transformed into a lightning spear, aimed directly at Sanji's heart!

Sanji lightly touched the ground with his toes, his Observation Haki catching the trajectory like the wind. He nimbly turned to the side, instantly spinning around, his feet enveloped in flames, and struck fiercely!

"Flank Meat Strike!!"

With a deafening roar, Judge's breastplate was dented, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood, staggering Backtrack!

"H-How is this possible...?"

Judge, his chest throbbing with pain and his eyes bloodshot, exclaimed, "The Navy... they actually trained you to this extent?!"

Their speed and strength have surpassed Niji?!

Seeing Sanji's attack as fierce as a storm, Judge's eyes suddenly turned ruthless, and he roared, "Stop him!!"

Several Clone Soldiers swarmed forward like puppets, forming a "human wall" with their flesh and blood, and forcefully blocked Sanji's fiery flying kick!

"Click--!"

The soldiers' bones shattered instantly, their skin charred black, yet they remained expressionless, without even a single painful cry.

Sanji paused, his gaze suddenly turning grim. "These people... are merely tools being controlled..."

Judge seized the opportunity to retreat, grinning like a demon. "You're still too green, Sanji!!"

"On the Battlefield, mercy is suicide!!"

With a furious roar, electricity gathered in his legs, and intense energy shot out from the back of his boots, propelling him forward like a cannonball!

"Explosive Jet Kick!!"

"Boom--!"

Judge's figure transformed into Inazuma bolt, hurtling straight at Sanji, overpowering his subordinates' physical bodies!

At the critical moment--

"Boom--!"

A pillar of golden lightning descended from the sky!

The raging lightning, with the force of tearing the heavens and earth apart, struck precisely in Judge's path of charge!

Judge in agony as his body was violently blasted away by the lightning, his charred armor emitting wisps of smoke!

The air was thick with tension and the smell of gunpowder.

From within the smoke, a lazy yet dangerous voice drifted over:

"Hey, looks like I've arrived just in time!"
