-Germa Kingdom
It was a one-of-a-kind maritime nation with no fixed territory. Ordinarily, its dozens of giant snail ships traveled separately; when they joined together, they formed the kingdom.
It was ruled by the Vinsmoke Family, and the vast majority of its so-called citizens were an army of artificial soldiers.
Only the small number of servants who specifically served the Vinsmoke Family had been plundered from the outside world. They were little different from slaves.
The Germa Kingdom had been a nation of science for generations, with advanced technology as its powerful backing. Two or three hundred years ago, it had ruled the North Blue, but it had gradually declined since then.
Yet several years earlier, its current king, Vinsmoke Judge, had led Germa 66 in the major incident known as the "Beheading of the Four North Blue Kingdoms."
-He had cut off the heads of the four North Blue kingdoms' rulers and commissioned an enormous painting to commemorate the event.
That had marked its return as a regional hegemon in the North Blue.
And now, this military powerhouse of the North Blue was about to face an unprecedented opponent.
"BOOM-!!!"
Deafening thunder reverberated through the clouds.
Satellite Shining hovered in the air, flickering arcs of electricity circling his body like the Thunder God descended to earth.
On his face, formed from black lightning, electrical sparks traced the downward curve of a smile, while his bright silver, electric eyes flashed beneath upward-curving brows.
Shichibukai-Deathly Lightning, Satellite Shining
His real name was unknown. Satellite Shining was what he called himself, while the title "Deathly Lightning" had been bestowed by the Marines.
Rumor had it that this assessment came from a certain Marine Admiral who preferred to remain anonymous.
"RUMBLE!"
Lightning plunged into the fleet, erupting with deafening crashes.
