Germa Submits!

Judge's eyes flashed with coldness, hatred, and fear. However, as the ruler of a nation, he did not completely give up resisting. Leaning on his spear, he forced himself to stand. He looked at Yun Ye and said coldly, "We, Germa, never back down. If you have the guts, come and take my life!"

"Then I'll do it."

Yun Ye wanted to charge out, but at that moment, a purple poison dart flew towards him.

"Hmph!" Yun Ye snorted coldly, casually broke it with a single sword strike, and then turned his head to look.

Reiju was struggling to get up, and the attack just now had come from her.

Yun Ye's expression was indifferent. His figure flashed and he charged out, leaving a fleeting white electric light behind him. When he reappeared, he was already beside Reiju, grabbing her slender neck with one hand and lifting her up. He showed no mercy just because Reiju was a woman!

Lifting her above his head, Yun Ye looked into Reiju's eyes and said coldly, "Do you think I don't dare to kill you? Or do you think I don't kill women?"

Seeing Yun Ye's actions, Judge's pupils contracted violently. He said urgently, "Let... Let her go! As long as you let her go, I'll let you do as you please."

At the brink of life and death, everyone's inner softness would be completely exposed. Even Judge, who was cold and ruthless and would turn his own children into experimental subjects for modification, was no exception.

Perhaps letting Sanji leave back then was also due to some paternal emotion...?

Hearing this, Yun Ye's lips curved into an unreadable smile behind his mask, looking exactly like a great villain!

Still holding Reiju's neck, he used Flash Step to appear in front of Judge and stomped down. The heavy blow made Judge spit out a large mouthful of blood again.

Yun Ye looked down at Judge and said indifferently, "What a touching father-daughter scene. However, you are both in my hands now. What right do you have to negotiate with me?"

"Is it the clone army behind you, or those dozens of warships?"

Yun Ye suddenly shifted his gaze to Reiju and said lightly, "If you dare to release more poison, I'll strangle you and crush your father to death."

Upon hearing this, the poison that had spread to her fair wrist quietly disappeared. Reiju glared at Yun Ye, her eyes full of hatred!

Yun Ye ignored Reiju and continued to look at Judge, smiling indifferently, "How about this, I'll give you two choices."

"First, surrender to me."

As Yun Ye spoke, he applied force with his foot, pressing Judge into the ground bit by bit. This put immense psychological pressure on Judge while also damaging his body.

"Second, die here!"

Before Judge could speak, Yun Ye continued, "Don't play any 'I'd rather die than surrender' games to stall for time. I'll give you only three seconds!"

"In three seconds, if you don't surrender, you and your children will all die! Germa, which has existed for three hundred years, will cease to exist from now on."

Yun Ye knew Judge's deepest dream – to make Germa ascend to the pinnacle of the North Blue once again. Therefore, he would absolutely not be willing to die here!

All his previous actions were meant to put pressure on Judge, to break down his psychological defense under immense stress.

To put it bluntly, Yun Ye wanted to subdue Germa 66, this war conglomerate, and make plans for the future.

This was a very powerful force. An army that feared no death would definitely be a nightmare in others' eyes!

If successful, it would be a trump card for himself in the future. If not, it didn't matter, they could just be eliminated!

After speaking, Yun Ye stopped looking at Judge. Instead, he turned his gaze towards the sea, where Navy warships were getting closer and closer.

The Navy on the island had not approached a single step since Yun Ye unleashed his power. They were just watching quietly.

No, they didn't dare to approach a single step!

"Three!"

Yun Ye counted down, his killing intent reaching an extreme. Accompanied by an oppressive force that weighed down on Judge, it made Judge's heart tremble!

He felt as if if he dared to say no, he would die the next moment!

Judge's heart was in extreme agony. He looked at Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji lying on the ground, and Reiju, whom Yun Ye was strangling. He bit his lip until it bled without even noticing, which showed the intensity of his inner turmoil!

"Two!" Yun Ye said calmly.

Before he could say "One," Judge's eyes flashed with pain and humiliation. He lowered his proud head, "I... surrender..."

"A wise choice!"

Yun Ye chuckled, removed his foot from Judge's body, and also released his grip on Reiju's neck.

Without even glancing at Reiju, who was coughing incessantly, or Judge, whose tears were flowing due to humiliation, he scanned the Navy soldiers on the island and the warships on the sea.

The battle on the sea was still ongoing, and the cannon fire had not stopped.

Yun Ye was already considering his escape route.

After thinking for a while, Yun Ye took out the crystal card from his pocket and threw it on the ground. This thing was useless to him, so it was better to give it to Judge.

Moreover, Yun Ye was not afraid that Judge would take the item and leave directly. When he released Reiju's neck, Yun Ye had also cut off the nail of her left little finger, intending to use it to make a Life Card.

He glanced at everyone in the field and said lightly, "Handle the matters here yourself, then do whatever you need to do. I'll notify you when I need you."

After speaking, Yun Ye turned and walked away in another direction, stepped onto the sea, and disappeared in the blink of an eye!

He didn't leave any harsh words or threatening remarks. After Judge surrendered, Yun Ye had already placed himself in a position above him.

This tone was one of command!

Yun Ye's tone remained calm, without the slightest change due to Judge and Germa's surrender.

However, it was precisely this indifferent attitude that made Judge's heart even colder.

He knew that after saying the word "surrender," he could no longer escape the control of this mysterious person!

"Perhaps this is an opportunity for Germa..."

Looking at the crystal card on the ground, Judge could only comfort himself.

Having experienced the world, Judge quickly composed himself, suppressed his negative emotions like humiliation and pain, and gathered the surrounding troops.

Ordering his subordinates to carry the unconscious Ichiji and the other two, Judge and his men boarded another ship!

"Avoid conflict with the Navy, set sail!"

With Judge's command, all the snail ships turned around and avoided further conflict with the Navy.

The pursuing Navy forces were quickly outrun.

The snail ships were much faster than the warships.

They encountered another Navy warship on the way. The two sides made eye contact, and the Navy opened fire, but Germa's forces did not engage.

Major General Bastille on the warship watched the departing Germa fleet and thought to himself, "Is the war over? Did I arrive too late? What's the situation on Donzuke Island?"

With these thoughts, the warship continued to advance towards Donzuke Island.

The Navy soldiers at the P-5 branch on the island breathed a sigh of relief after Germa's forces had completely departed.

"We... we survived!"

"Victory, we won!"

"We repelled Germa's army!"

Some soldiers couldn't help but cheer.

However, someone quickly poured cold water on their excitement:

"What nonsense are you spouting? If it weren't for that masked man, we would all be dead by now!"

"Yeah, if it weren't for him..."

"Who is that person? Is he from the island?"

"There are rumors that there's a mastermind behind the Chaos Zone. Could it be that mysterious person? He also said just now that this island is his territory!"

"I heard that too. They say the mastermind of the Chaos Zone blew up that mountain behind the back hill. I didn't expect it to be true!"

"But by saying that, he doesn't seem to have the Navy in his eyes. Is he an enemy?"

Countless Navy soldiers discussed amongst themselves, speculating about Yun Ye's identity.

Only Yara, looking at the departing Germa fleet, fell into deep thought: 'Just now, what did Germa's people say to that mysterious person? Why did the fighting suddenly stop?'

'What kind of secret deal did they make?'

'More importantly... who is that masked man? And what is a Quincy? Is it a title or a faction?'

Due to the considerable distance, he hadn't heard Yun Ye's conversation with Judge at all.

But if he had known, he would have been absolutely shocked!
