Complete Suppression, an Invitation to the Tea Party

Sanji looked up abruptly and saw Enel hovering in mid-air, his Golden Staff casually slung over his shoulder, a mocking smile on his lips.

Enel?!

Enel lazily picked at his ear, his gaze sweeping over the disheveled Judge, and he scoffed, "This guy's the Germa King? Pathetically weak~"

Judge's face flushed red as he struggled to his feet, his breastplate shattered, and his roar sounded like a beast's howl.

"Who are you?! How dare you interfere in Germa's internal affairs?!"

Enel flicked his Golden Staff, arcs of electricity leaping at its tip, his voice trailing off lazily. "Marine Headquarters, Vice Admiral — Enel."

He smiled slyly, a murderous glint in his eyes. "Ordered to arrest the Germa royal family suspected of colluding with the Four Emperors."

He turned to Sanji, raising an eyebrow. "Hey, Curly Eyebrow, need any help?"

Sanji a deep breath, lit a cigarette, and exhaled a wisp of white smoke. "No need... This is a grudge between him and me."

"But--"

His gaze swept over the numb, standing Clone Soldiers around him, and his voice suddenly sharpened. "Please help me clear out these grunts."

Enel grinned, revealing his menacing white teeth. "A piece of cake~"

"Whoosh--!"

Lightning spread like a net, instantly piercing dozens of Clone Soldiers, who collapsed unconscious before they could even scream!

Judge watched helplessly as the soldiers he relied on for his rule were subdued in the blink of an eye, his pupils contracting sharply and cold sweat streaming down his face.

"This... this is Vice Admiral from Marine Headquarters...?!"

Sanji in step by step, flames crackling around his calves, his voice cold and heavy. "Father... your greatest mistake—"

"They underestimated the power of the 'lower class'!"

"Boom!!"

A powerful Diable Jambe struck, shattering Judge's breastplate and sending him sprawling into the ruins!

Judge struggled to his feet from the ruins of the wall, his breastplate shattered, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes burned with a mad rage.

With a roar, the decks around the plaza suddenly opened, and thousands of cyborg soldiers poured out, forming a dark, overwhelming tide that completely surrounded the plaza!

Judge's face broke into a sinister grin again. "Don't underestimate Germa!! We're the Kingdom of War!!"

"A mere Vice Admiral, and you, you unfilial son, I'll kill you both..."

Before the words had even finished --

"ROOM!" A cold, low shout suddenly rang out, distorting the space around them.

Ace, Law, and Usopp all appeared on the field at the same time!

Ace surveyed the densely packed enemy ranks, a wild grin spreading across his face, flames blazing in his palms. "Wow, quite a sight indeed~"

Luo gripped the knife in one hand, his eyes indifferent, his voice low. "Germa 66... truly a bunch of lunatics who can't stand still."

Usopp swallowed hard, his forehead covered in cold sweat, but he steadily raised the Sniper Rifle, gritting his teeth and muttering under his breath:

"Sanji... we're here!"

Enel, high in the sky, grew utterly impatient. He pointed his Golden Staff at the surging tide of cyborg soldiers on the ground, and arcs of electricity gathered wildly!

"What a noisy bunch of trash... so annoying!!"

"El Thor!!"

"Boom--!"

Countless bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking the soldiers like Heavenly Punishment, their explosive flashes illuminating the entire sky!

Upon seeing Ace, flames suddenly erupted all over Ace's body!

"Ha! How can we let lightning shine all by itself?!"

He leaped forward, transforming into a fiery meteor, and charged straight into the cyborg army!

"Fire Fist!!"

"Boom!!"

A blazing Fire Pillar shot into the sky, the flames transforming into a tsunami that swept across the area, burning the cyborgs to ashes like pieces of paper, and large sections of the deck twisted and collapsed in the inferno.

Fire and lightning clashed, and explosive flames illuminated the entire square. In just a few dozen seconds, Germa's proud "Iron Legion" was completely annihilated...

On the charred ruins, smoke billowed, mechanical wreckage littered the ground, and the air was thick with the smell of burning.

Judge slumped down beside the shattered metal ruins, his eyes vacant and his expression blank.

His invincible army, which he relied on to sweep across the North Blue, was completely annihilated in the blink of an eye.

"This... this is impossible..."

His voice was dry and hoarse, and his fingers dug desperately into the scorch marks on the ground, oblivious to the fact that his nails were breaking.

"Just two people... were able to so easily destroy the Germa Legion?!"

High in the sky, Enel floated leisurely, his Golden Staff resting on his shoulder, a sneer accompanied by a burst of lightning:

"A small fry is a small fry—no matter how many there are, they're just a mountain of small fry."

Ace's flames gradually subsided. He put his hands in his pockets, grinned, and the firelight made his eyes sharp. "Your Germa technology? It's not up to par."

Sanji walked silently to Judge, a cigarette burning quietly between his fingers.

Looking at this once arrogant man now in such a wretched state, he saw no joy of victory in his eyes, only deep sorrow.

Judge suddenly collapsed at his feet, tears streaming down his face, clutching Sanji's trouser leg tightly, screaming desperately:

"Sanji... save me!! I'm your father!!"

"Big Mom won't let me get away with this... she'll kill me--!"

Sanji his eyes coldly, not responding immediately, but instead taking a deep drag on his cigarette.

At this moment, Luo walked slowly over, the Kikoku in his hand reflecting a cold light, his voice low and deep:

"Sanji... You still have to go to Big Mom's Tea Party."

Sanji frowned. "Why? Germa no longer has its army, what else does it have...?"

Ace chuckled, interrupting him. "This was arranged by my brother."

The fire in his eyes flickered again, brimming with excitement and fighting spirit. "He said—'There'll be a good show at the Tea Party!'"

Sanji's pupils contracted sharply. He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Okay... I'll go."

Upon hearing this, Judge felt as if he had been granted a pardon and hurriedly shouted, "Take me with you! I can help you!! I--"

Reiju appeared out of nowhere, her long hair fluttering in the wind.

She held an exquisite invitation in her hand, branded with a cake and skull motif.

She said softly, "This is an invitation to Tea Party from the Big Mom Pirates."

"The time is three days from now... the location is -- Totto Land Whole Cake Island."

Sanji accepted the invitation, a sharp glint in his eyes, and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.

"It seems... this is a trap."

Ace patted him on the shoulder, his smile burning with passion, "Don't worry! We'll be following from the shadows."

Usopp nervously gripped his Sniper Rifle, swallowed hard, and felt a chill run down his spine. "Should we... should we infiltrate the Four Emperors's lair?!"

Sanji carefully put away the invitation, the firelight reflecting in his eyes, his voice cold. "Since that's the case..."

"Then let this Tea Party— "

He looked up, surrounded by swirling smoke, his eyes burning like fire.

"--Become her nightmare!"
