However, before Sengoku could figure out the situation of the Germa Kingdom...
The Germa Kingdom then unleashed a terrifying war machine, launching a full-scale attack on non- Affiliated Nation in all directions, with the Xilu Island as its core.
In less than a week, the other seven non- Affiliated Nation in the surrounding area fell into the hands of the Germa Kingdom.
During this major expansion, the Germa Kingdom demonstrated formidable strength.
Large numbers of armored combat troops displayed overwhelming force against the armies of various kingdoms.
The Four Horsemen, as the core fighting force, rendered the experts of various kingdoms powerless to resist.
The Four Horsemen were a new title created specifically to distinguish them from the former Beasts Pirates.
War Knight Ash, commander of the War Legion, with Ichiji as his deputy commander.
Pestilence Knight Queen, commander of the Pestilence Legion, with Reiju as his vice commander.
Jack the Famine Knight leads the Famine Legion, with Niji as his deputy commander.
Death Knight Yamato, commander of the Death Legion, with Yonji as his vice commander.
These four legions took turns deploying and controlled the northeastern waters of the North Blue. Although the Affiliated Nation were not invaded by the Germa Kingdom, the Germa Kingdom's patrol ships had already encompassed the entire northeastern waters.
Marineford.
"Damn it! What is Germa trying to do?" Sengoku's face was grim, and he felt utterly exhausted.
The events of the past year or so have been more intense and frustrating than those of the previous decades. He felt that if things continued like this, he would soon be old and gray. This immense psychological pressure was indeed very difficult to bear.
Having just returned from the New World, Tsuru entered the office and saw Sengoku's gloomy face. She helplessly offered her advice:
"We don't need to worry too much about Sengoku and Germa. After all, they are Affiliated Nation, and if anything needs to be dealt with, that's a matter for the Five Elders."
"I know, but the Beasts Pirates..."
Tsuru shook her head. "Isn't this a good thing? Don't forget that Kaido of the Beasts died at Shiki's hands. Now that the remnants of the Beasts have set sail again and joined the Germa Kingdom, it means they want to compete with the Sky Empire."
Sengoku reacted instantly, pulling out a piece of intelligence. "This woman named Yamato should be Kaido's daughter, and a Mythical Zoan. If we can instigate a war between the Germa Kingdom and the Sky Empire, we might be able to suppress the Sky Empire's expansion in the North Blue."
"Don't be too optimistic. Shiki will probably make a move soon." Tsuru naturally knew some information about Yamato, but she didn't think that Yamato, King, and the others could defeat Shiki.
"No, we can't repeat the same mistakes we made before." Sengoku thought of what happened with the Red Hair Pirates:
"If we just stand by and watch Germa be destroyed by the Sky Empire, then we'll truly be left standing alone in the North Blue. Let Ichigo go to the North Blue, Kuzan go to the New World, together we'll hold the Sky Empire back."
"Is that so?" Crane pondered for a moment and also thought this arrangement was more appropriate.
His Press-Press Fruit can rival Shiki's Float-Float Fruit, and his flight speed is also quite good.
Aokiji also has good crowd control and escape abilities. Even if he can't beat Shiki, he can quickly escape to the Hell Valley Base and reunite with Sakazuki.
"By the way, where is Doflamingo now?"
Upon hearing this name, Sengoku's face darkened again. "That bastard secretly withdrew from the North Blue a few months ago and should be in the West Blue now, probably preparing to go to war with the Capone Family and Gambino Family families of the West Blue."
"What a pity, I originally planned to involve him in the plan to fight against the Sky Empire." Crane said with some helplessness.
But Sengoku wasn't going to let it go so easily. "Heh, does he think he can rest easy just by running off to the West Blue? Don't forget he's still Shichibukai. Since he enjoys the power of Shichibukai, he has to pay the price."
at the same time.
The snail-shaped castle ships of the Germa Kingdom have appeared near the eight conquered island nations, assembling and piecing together to form an artificial floating island.
These artificial floating islands, with Xilu Island as their core, form several safe shipping routes.
Jin compiled basic information about the eight island nations.
These eight island nations vary in size, with a combined population of around 770,000, plus the Germa Kingdom's population of over 6,300 ( the Germa Kingdom also has ordinary citizens).
It seems that this scale is not comparable to that of some large countries.
However, if we include the 11 World Government Member States in the northeastern part of the North Blue, the scale becomes different.
Clearly, Noah considered these countries in the northeast of the North Blue as his own.
While Jin and the others were busy integrating the resources of the various islands.
While working tirelessly on research and development in the lab, Judge received a phone call that he had expected.
" Vinsmoke Judge! What do you want?"
Sitting on his throne, Judge looked at the Den Den Mushi and a cold smile appeared on his lips, "What advice does Saint Mars have?"
"..." Saint Mars on the other side was silent for a moment, then spoke again, " The World Government can let bygones be bygones for the countries you occupied, but you must provide that kind of robot technology."
Judge squinted and retorted, "Heh, are you joking? What do you mean by 'forgive and forget'? What has my Germa Kingdom done that requires the World Government to forgive and forget?"
"You shouldn't have forgotten what the name Germa 66 means, should you?" Saint Mars's tone turned icy.
Of course, Judge knew the meaning of Germa 66: it meant that the Germa Kingdom had ruled the North Blue for 66 days before being defeated by the World Government.
But things are different now, and he wants to tell the Five Elders:
" Mars, times have changed!"
"Oh? Are you sure?"
"If the World Government has the ability, send someone over to take it; otherwise, stop daydreaming. Doing so will only make me look down on you."
"Great! I hope you won't regret it!"
"Hehe, I wonder how many more times the Uranus's energy can be unleashed!"
Saint Mars's pupils contracted, while Nusjuro and Saint Shepherd Ju Peter beside him also frowned.
After a moment, Saint Mars calmly said, "Sometimes knowing too much isn't a good thing. We don't need to use the Uranus to deal with Germa."
"Is that so? Then I wish Vegapunk a long and healthy life! Hahaha..." Judge laughed wildly without restraint.
In an instant, the atmosphere of Room of Authority became oppressive.
Saint Mars, Saint Nusjuro, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter all had veins bulging on their foreheads, clearly showing their inner rage and shame.
After a while, Saint Mars regained his composure. "It seems you learned a lot while working with Vegapunk!"
"He's nothing but a self-righteous fool. The Mother Flame is merely an energy source; energy can be used to benefit the world or to power weapons. What do you think, Mars Maz?"
"You're a smart person, and I hope you won't make an unwise choice."
"Isn't Germa Affiliated Nation of the World Government now?"
What do you want?
"Northeastern waters of the North Blue."
"Too many."
"Heh, you're quite humorous. Do you think these Affiliated Nation will live in peace if you don't give them to me? Rather than letting the Sky Empire conquer these Affiliated Nation, it's better to hand them over to me. At least the Germa Kingdom will still be Affiliated Nation of the World Government."
After reconsidering, the three Five Elders realized that Judge's idea could actually reduce the pressure on the World Government in the North Blue.
After all, the northern part of the North Blue, which is currently controlled by the Navy and the World Government, is finding it somewhat difficult to cope with the attack from the Sky Empire.
If we can concentrate our forces and only defend the northwestern part of the North Blue, then we can manage.
"If Germa were willing to use robotics..."
Judge refused outright. "You already have the Pacifista project. Let Vegapunk work overtime. Isn't he the smartest person in the world? I believe this won't be difficult for him."
The Five Elders remained silent for a while, but finally agreed to Judge's request to control the northeastern part of the North Blue.
