These losers aren't even as good as Sanji!

When Judge heard Haku speak so disparagingly of his Germa Family members, the very result of his most important Lineage Factor experiment, a surge of anger welled up within him.

As the King of Germa 66, he wielded immense power over his family members! Furthermore, he felt a surge of pride after successfully transforming his children into emotionless machines. However, Haku's words were like a sharp knife, piercing directly into his heart.

"Haku, don't go too far!" Judge said coldly, his voice filled with obvious displeasure and anger.

"Excessive?" Haku scoffed. "I'm just stating the facts. Look at your sons. They possess powerful Lineage Factor, but you've trained them into fighting machines. Their talents and potential have been wasted in your hands."

"What do you know!" Judge retorted angrily. "We, the Germa Family, have our own mission and honor! What we pursue is power, is dominance! These family members are warriors we have carefully trained; they are a vital force in achieving my goals!"

"Power? Domination?" Haku shook her head. "You're only pursuing superficial things. True power comes from inner strength and growth, not from the illusions you create by relying on Lineage Factor and external things."

"You!" Judge's face flushed red with anger at Haku's words, but he couldn't refute them. He knew Haku was right. His family members, though powerful, lacked genuine emotion and growth. They simply followed orders, without their own thoughts or choices.

Haku looked at Judge with disdain and said, "Although these trash have been modified to have powerful bodies and strength, in my opinion, they are not as strong as Sanji, who grew up through his own efforts."

"No! Her potential is actually quite good, it's just that you've confined her to your side. She can't grow!" Haku pointed to Reiju, who had been quiet all along!

Reiju was slightly taken aback; she hadn't expected Haku to rate her so highly compared to Ichiji and the other two.

She became even more silent, because Haku had already said that as long as she stayed by her father's side, she would never truly grow and become strong! And her father Judge, saw them as his tools and would not let her leave easily!

Meanwhile, on Judge's side, Haku's words struck Judge's heart like a hammer blow. Sanji, the son Judge considered a failure and abandoned, was now being praised so highly by Haku, which Judge found unacceptable.

"Sanji? How could that piece of trash be stronger than my carefully trained sons?" Judge roared, his voice filled with resentment and anger.

"Trash?" Haku sneered. "Sanji is called trash because you've never understood true strength. His heart, his will, his emotions—these are things you machines who only know how to pursue power can never match."

"You..." Judge was so angry at Haku's words that he could hardly speak. He never thought that he would lose his composure like this in front of a stranger.

"Alright, I don't want to argue with you about this anymore." Haku waved her hand, interrupting Judge. "I hope you understand that true power doesn't come from Lineage Factor or the accumulation of external things, but from inner growth and steadfastness."

Haku didn't continue the previous topic. Instead, she continued, "I didn't come here to argue with you. I just hope you can abandon your attack plan against the Whitebeard's crew."

"Why?" Judge asked, puzzled.

"I see you're a good candidate to use, so I can't bear to see you get wiped out by Whitebeard Pirates Ship!" Haku said mockingly, staring at Judge.

Judge had moved on from the previous issue and said, "Why do you think I'll be wiped out by the remnants of Whitebeard's crew when I attack them?"

Haku shrugged and said, "Isn't it obvious? You're much weaker than the Whitebeard Pirates, and that's even with the Whitebeard Pirates severely weakened!"

Judge's forehead veins bulged, because every word Haku said implied that Germa was weak.

Haku, seemingly oblivious to Judge's growing tension, continued, "While the Whitebeard Pirates are no longer one of the Four Emperors, their foundation and influence remain. Although your Germa 66 possesses powerful technology and warriors modified by Lineage Factor, in the true world of Pirates, you are far from being a match."

Lying on the ground, Niji was enraged by Haku's words. He clenched his fists and said in a low voice, "Damn it, who do you think you are? How dare you speak so disrespectfully of Germa 66! We possess the most advanced technology and the finest warriors. The remnants of Whitebeard's army are nothing but a rabble before us!"

Haku smiled slightly, shook her head, and said, "Your confidence is laughable. The reason the Whitebeard Pirates became one of the Four Emperors is not only because of their strength, but also because of their immeasurable cohesion and influence. Although your Germa 66 has a technological advantage, in terms of morale and conviction, you are far inferior to the Whitebeard Pirates."

Lying on the ground, Ichiji and the other two glared angrily at Haku, unable to tolerate such an insult. But just then, Reiju suddenly spoke up, "Father, Mr. Haku might be right. We really should reassess our plans."

Judge, whose thoughts were still on Haku's words, nodded and said, "I'm abandoning the plan to attack the remnants of Whitebeard's crew. Let's talk about how you intend to use me, and what benefits I can gain from it!"

"Benefits are something you earn yourself, not something I'll distribute to you! I don't have the time or inclination for that!" Haku said lazily to Judge as she sat down in her chair.

"Then tell me how you're going to use me!" Judge said seriously.

Haku nodded and said, "It's simple. After a while, just remember to bring your third son, Sanji, who has been away from home for many years, and continue the marriage alliance with the BIG MOM Pirates! I'll handle the rest!"

"You're planning to attack the BIG MOM Pirates?" Judge astutely guessed what Haku was up to!

"Your intuition is quite sharp!" Haku said casually.

Judge's eyes flickered as he said, "Aren't you afraid I'll tell Big Mom about this?"

"You can try!" Haku's eyes flashed with a dangerous light!
