Germa

Those were indeed a group of snails.

A group of enormous snails, each carrying a building on its back, were speeding across the sea ahead.

Sirius smirked as he remembered who these guys were.

"This is--"

Luo's reaction was even more exaggerated. He slammed his hands on the table, stood up in shock, and spoke in disbelief, his voice trembling.

"Snails?"

"It is indeed a snail,"

Jack was puzzled. "But is it really necessary to be so surprised?"

These snails are large, but there are countless creatures larger than them in the ocean.

There's absolutely no need to be so surprised.

"No,"

Luo shook his head and said solemnly, "These snails are—"

"Germa!"

His expression suddenly turned excited. "I never imagined that the legendary Evil Legion actually exists!"

"I wonder if the Hero Sora really exists!"

Hero Sora is the protagonist of a comic book published in the Beihai edition of the World Economic News.

In the comic book, he is a legendary naval officer who can walk on the sea.

His enemy is the legendary evil legion of the North Sea, Germa 66.

Luo is a loyal fan of this comic book and has been following it closely.

After arriving in the North Sea, Sirius, having nothing better to do, also read through the comic book.

"Hey! Is the story in that comic book actually true?!"

Yamato was extremely shocked.

"Such a thing actually happened!!" Page One was also dumbfounded.

They had read some of that comic book, and they knew the main character and the main villain.

"Wouldn't we just have to go up and see for ourselves to find out?"

Sirius laughed and said, "Then let's begin the final adventure of the year!"

He certainly knew the truth behind the story.

But it doesn't matter, isn't it quite fun?

Sirius, accelerate and launch!!

Ahead, in that swarm of snails.

These snails are truly enormous; each one carries a house on its back.

The snails in the very center are linked together, carrying a huge palace on their backs.

Meanwhile, a banquet was underway inside this luxurious palace.

"Our next destination is the East Blue."

A masked, blond man sat at the head of the long table. His tone of voice was far from that of a banquet; it was more like he was giving a speech at a meeting.

"After completing this mission, we'll receive a large sum of funds, allowing our legion to expand once again!"

"The Vinsmoke Family's revival is one step closer!"

The man was laughing wildly.

Unfortunately, on the long table in front of him, three little devils with different colored hair were completely ignoring what he was saying and were wolfing down their food, splashing juice everywhere.

There was only one little girl with pink hair, smiling and resting her cheek on her hand, seemingly listening attentively.

Before the man could say anything more, the banquet hall door was pushed open.

"Your Majesty!! There are ships chasing us from behind!"

Are there enemies?

The three boys who were eating immediately looked up, their faces all beaming with excitement.

"Awesome!" The red-haired brat jumped up. "To hell with this boring meeting!! I'm going to have some fun!"

He laughed loudly and dashed out of the banquet hall in a flash.

"Ichiji! You cunning fellow! Stop right there!!"

The blue-haired kid immediately gave chase.

The last remaining green-haired brat wiped his mouth and dashed out of the hall with his short legs.

At first glance, it looks like brothers playfully fighting.

But such sounds came from outside the banquet hall.

"I'm the one who's going to crush them!"

"Hahaha, this time I'm going to kill fifty!"

"Watch me shred their bones!"

On the long table.

The pink-haired little girl chuckled softly, "Father, will there be any problems?"

"Hmph, let them relax a bit before the war starts."

The blond man didn't care at all.

The little girl smiled and asked the messenger, "What kind of ship is that?"

"It's a metal ship, it looks like a pirate ship, but it's not flying a pirate flag. There are patterns on the side of the hull, but they're not very clear."

"So, they seem to be a bunch of nameless pirates. How pitiful, they've run into the enthusiastic Ichiji."

The old father snorted coldly, "Don't say such stupid things, Reiju. On this vast ocean, weakness is a sin!"

He laughed cruelly, "They are not pitiful, just unfortunate! Unfortunate to have encountered a natural disaster they could not resist!"

The little girl's eyes crinkled into a smile. "Yes, Father."

But she finally let out a soft sigh.

The Sirius.

The submarine accelerated, speeding towards the swarm of snails ahead.

As the distance gradually decreased, the snails and what they carried on their backs became clearly visible.

"That's outrageous!"

Black Maria exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually a country built on the back of a snail!"

"The Germa have lost their homeland and are now adrift at sea!"

Luo said solemnly, "But they are not content with this and have been accumulating strength to make a comeback, intending to regain control of the entire North Sea!"

"Nobody asked you to explain the plot of a comic book." Jack smirked.

Sirius smiled slightly.

Who says stories can't become reality?

"A ship is coming!"

Page One, suddenly shouted.

Sirius looked closely and saw a ship break away from the swarm of snails, approaching them.

Have you noticed us?

Black Maria said, "So, what are they planning to do—"

"Boom!"

There's no need to doubt anymore.

Amidst the deafening explosions, several shells streaked through the air, arriving with a whistling sound.

"That's really unfriendly."

Sirius chuckled softly.

"This is the extremely evil Germa!"

Luo, on the other hand, looked completely at ease with himself.

"Stop talking nonsense and do something first!" Ulti rolled her eyes.

"Then, Luo, can I ask you for a favor?" Sirius asked.

"ROOM!"

Luo Hao didn't hesitate; with a flick of his right hand, a large bubble instantly expanded.

The next second, several shells blasted into the bubble, and Luo lightly flicked his finger.

Shambles!

The incoming shells vanished instantly and reappeared in the deep sea below the ship.

What a convenient ability!

Sirius sighed.

If it weren't for the fact that it's ineffective against people with excessively strong Haki, Law could have single-handedly killed all the Devil Fruit User at sea with just this one move.

The shelling did not last long.

The ship quickly approached.

"Hahaha!! You've got some skills!"

Loud, childish laughter echoed from the deck of the ship.

Three heads of different colors popped out from the deck.

Red, blue, green.

Aside from their different hair styles and colors, the three are almost identical.

Even the smiles on their faces were exactly the same.

"Ready to die?"

The three little boys laughed innocently.
