Germa 66

"Caesar Courren?"

Judge was quite surprised, because it was common knowledge that Queen had joined the Moke Pirates. But when did Caesar Clown join the Moke?

Wasn't that guy captured by Law from the Supernova?

Could it be that they've already gotten it from Luo?

Judge was an extremely proud man, especially when it came to science. There were very few people who could catch his eye.

But Queen and Caesar Cullen are indeed on the same level as him.

Even he couldn't deny it.

These two guys are indeed capable of cooperating with him. Moreover, the three of them used to be in the same organization. There is still some camaraderie between them.

From a scientist's perspective, he would be very happy to do so.

However, he was not just a scientist, but also the king of Germa 66. He carried the heavy responsibility that the Vinsmoke Family had always shouldered.

That is to dominate the North Blue.

He knew perfectly well that although Moke had promised to share control of the North Blue with him, once the Moke Pirates established a significant force there, would his words still carry any weight with Germa 66?

But at this moment, could he refuse?

The first consequence of not agreeing would be the lives of Reiju, Niji, and Yonji, as well as the three thousand soldiers.

The second consequence was that the Moke directly slaughtered the entire Vinsmoke Germa 66.

Judge's expression changed repeatedly.

Therefore, he only had two choices.

He refused, then turned to Zephyr, who had already entered the North Blue, to join forces with him against Moke's gang.

The price was the lives of Reiju, Niji, and Yonji, as well as the three thousand soldiers. At the same time, they were completely placed on the opposite side of Moke's group, and it was a fight to the death.

Second, I agree.

The price is that the entire Germa 66 will become part of the Moke Pirates.

Just take those claims about jointly controlling the North Blue with a grain of salt.

However, given Germa 66's overall strength and its scientific abilities, even if they became members of the Moke Pirates, their status within the crew would be exceptional.

They are definitely on par with Issho, Jin, and Shiryu.

After hesitating for a long time, Judge finally spoke, "Okay... but I have two conditions."

Moke's lips curled up slightly. "You say."

Judge: "The first condition is that you must marry my daughter Reiju, make her the Lady of the North Blue, and grant her the power and status befitting a lady."

"Ah?"

Moke looked surprised, then turned to look at Reiju.

His eyes held a hint of eagerness.

Reiju is definitely a mature and sophisticated woman; what man wouldn't love her?

Anyway, he really wanted to have a proper discussion with her about the issue of having children.

Besides, he had this plan all along. He was just looking for an excuse!

Alternatively, after recruiting Germa 66, feed Judge Artificial Devil Fruit to make him completely one of their own, and then have him marry Reiju to them.

Now look what's happened!

He hasn't even said a word, nor has he made any underhanded moves yet!

They just sent the woman over.

Good heavens... really good heavens.

This made him too embarrassed to resort to underhanded tactics, turning Judge into an artificial Devil Fruit User and ultimately making him one of those manipulated and controlled by him.

Oh well, at least it's a bargain for my father-in-law.

If he behaves himself and joins his Science Department, working well for him alongside Queen, Caesar Courland, and Vegapunk, he will certainly not treat him unfairly.

But if they're foolish enough to try anything underhanded, he absolutely won't hold back...

Upon thinking of this, Moke immediately nodded. "Okay... however, it's not advisable for me to show myself for now. So, this wedding will have to wait until I have completely taken control of North Blue."

Judge paused for a moment upon hearing this.

"Good!"

"The second condition is that you must designate four kingdoms in the North Blue for Germa 66 to own. Of course, these four kingdoms will still be under your control."

"Can..."

Moke agreed without hesitation.

With such a vast territory North Blue, it's impossible to eliminate all the Royal Capital of every kingdom. What Moke needs to do is eliminate all the disobedient ones and then support his own people.

Or the obedient one may ascend the throne.

These kings then govern the entire North Blue. Of course, their governing philosophy must be unified, and their philosophy must be the core principle...

So he immediately added, "However, you can't act recklessly like before. You can have four kingdoms, but how you govern them is up to me."

Judge frowned slightly, but after a moment, he returned to normal.

He nodded. "It's a deal!"

He resigned himself to his fate.

Because there are two choices. The first choice would not only sacrifice Reiju, Niji, Yonji, but would also completely enrage Moke might then come Shinuchi on their door.

He didn't think Zephyr would lend a hand.

Forget about the Navy and the World Government. So, the only option is to submit... no matter what.

This result is already the best it can be.

Although he joined the Moke Pirates, his daughter will become the lady of the entire North Blue.

Germa 66, on the other hand, possesses four kingdoms. In a way, this fulfills the long-held wish of their ancestors.

Moke nodded. "It's a deal..."

Then Moke added, "Then I'll issue the first order."

Judge's pupils contracted sharply; frankly, this was something he was very uncomfortable with. After all, in Germa 66, his word was law.

He's the one who gives orders; nobody gives him orders.

Fortunately, he was a smart man, so he quickly realized his place.

"Captain, you speak!"

Moke: "Pretend to join forces with Zephyr. When Cavendish gathers people from both branches to attack Dalmatian's branch, then stab them in the back and catch them off guard."

To be honest, he originally intended to deal with Zephyr himself. After all, Dalmatian and Zephyr's three elite subordinates were enough to hold off Cavendish Bastille, Tokikake, and Yukimura, who were already under his control.

Especially Ain, one of Zephyr's subordinates; her abilities are too unique.

If you're careless and fall into a trap, that would be disastrous.

Furthermore, with so many trainees, soldiers, and instructors under Zephyr's command, he was truly difficult to deal with. Therefore, he had no choice but to take action personally.

Left with no other choice, they decided to expose themselves prematurely.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better.

Germa 66 has delivered themselves right to his doorstep, so it would be a huge disservice to Judge if he didn't make good use of them.

With Germa 66 joining the team, they're more than capable of taking down Zephyr.

Even if Zephyr is strong, he's old and has lost an arm. Most importantly, he's also ill.

Even without Judge, Ichiji, Reiju, Niji, and Yonji working together, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji alone would probably be able to stop him.

Given enough time, Zephyr will definitely be the one who can't hold on any longer.
