Vinsmoke Judge was a scientist, but he was also the king of a nation and the ruler of one of the World Government's allied countries.
He was not like those socially inept shut-in scientists who understood nothing but research.
The fact that he had not been seized and forced into labor after researching alongside Vegapunk, and could openly become the ruler of an allied nation, showed that Judge was no fool when it came to politics. On the contrary, he was quite shrewd.
Upon hearing Dawn's words, how could Vinsmoke Judge fail to understand the meaning behind them?
Today, I am not speaking to you as a representative of the Marines, but as the heir of the Ishtar Kingdom.
If you dare refuse, I will wipe you out directly. Even if I conquer Germa, no one will have anything to say about it.
Although Dawn had not said it outright, that was precisely what he meant.
Vinsmoke Judge felt stifled, but he had no way to deal with it.
If the other party had been acting as a Marine, then without a decision from the World Government, he could have immediately lodged a protest with them over such actions.
But this bastard also had the status of royalty. He was the heir to two nations.
If he invaded Judge's country under that identity, even the World Government would not be able to help him. They might even be happy to see it happen.
After all, Germa did not have a good reputation, while Dawn was a Marine Rear Admiral who worked closely with the Marines, supplying them with affordable food and weapons.
If Dawn destroyed him and obtained his technology, the Marines might even get involved. There was no need to think about whose side the Five Elders would take.
