After another ten minutes or so, quite a few more people woke up one after another.
These people are all incredibly powerful; weaklings wouldn't be able to wake up so quickly.
Seeing the confusion mixed with a hint of fear in their eyes, Kazu smiled helplessly.
In the end, he shouldered it all.
Hey, being too strong is also a sin.
Since that's the case, then let me bear all of this alone!!
Those who had just woken up were unaware of Kazu's Versailles-like thoughts.
If I knew, I would definitely think to myself, "You don't need to bear this burden, they can manage too."
When everyone woke up and learned that it was Kazu who had unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, their awe of him deepened even further.
"Alright, old man, we've been here for several days now, it's time to go for a stroll in North Blue Park."
Hearing that his eldest son was leaving, the Whitebeard was reluctant to part with him, but he did not stop him.
What reason would a fine young man who wants to roam the sea have to stop the other?
"Go forth, the sea is so vast, and you have so many adventures yet to be experienced."
Go and embark on your own adventures.
With a somewhat reluctant look in Whitebeard, Kazu bid farewell to everyone and then led his crew back to the Divine Dragon.
Hancock and the others had also woken up long ago, but they were still a little groggy, so they didn't go to the Moby Dick.
To appease the women, Kazu decided to put in extra effort tonight to make amends for his mistake.
This is a prime example of taking advantage of others' generosity.
"Let's set off, heading towards the North Blue!!"
The Divine Dragon returned to its usual cheerful atmosphere and continued its voyage on the turbulent sea.
"Father, we have received intelligence from the front lines that the Blond Hair Pirates have arrived in the North Blue and destroyed one of our military bases."
"Based on their actions in the West Blue, it's highly likely they'll circle around the North Blue."
Wearing a red combat suit, Vinsmoke Ichiji arrived at the laboratory to find his father Vinsmoke Judge, and reported this crucial intelligence to him.
" The Blond Hair Pirates?"
"This is truly a troublesome behemoth."
Upon hearing the intelligence, Judge put down his experiment and led Ichiji to the command room.
" Ichiji, go and call Niji, Yonji, and Reiju over here."
"Yes, Father."
Ichiji left without expression, and soon after, his three sons and one daughter all arrived at the command room.
Judge sat majestically in the main seat, looking at his many children, his proudest masterpiece, the foundation of Germa's rule over the North Blue.
Although they were only fifteen or sixteen years old, their fighting ability was not weak, and their performance in foreign wars was also very impressive.
Of course, they can't compare to behemoths like the Blond Hair Pirates; going there would be suicide.
"I only have one thing to say."
" Ichiji, show them all the information."
Ichiji nodded and handed each of them a copy of the intelligence report that had been photocopied earlier. The group then carefully examined it.
"Hmph, the Blond Hair Pirates dares to cause trouble on our territory? Then let's lead our troops to attack them."
"That's right, drive them out of the North Blue and let the world know that the North Blue is our Germa territory."
Yonji and Niji showed no fear whatsoever, shouting that they wanted to Blond Hair Pirates and show them the power of Germa 66.
Reiju remained silent, offering no opinion and simply watching how Judge would make his decision.
Judge frowned. When he modified his children, he removed their fears.
This is so that they can remain calm and not show cowardice when facing fierce battles.
But now it seems that we were a bit too brave.
Forget it, I can't count on them for this. I'll just have to make the decision myself.
Your methods are unacceptable.
"For the next period of time, you must be cautious wherever the Blond Hair Pirates pass by, and avoid confrontation with them."
"No matter how much they destroy our property, we will ignore it."
"The strength of the Blond Hair Pirates is beyond your imagination; they are on a completely different level from the enemies we've encountered before."
"As long as we can save our lives, we will remain the dominant force in this sea area once these scourges leave the North Blue."
Judge made the decision immediately, defining the nature of the matter.
Despite their dissatisfaction, Yonji and Niji did not refute Judge's argument.
Meanwhile, Ichiji and Reiju remained expressionless throughout, obeying Judge's orders without question.
Seeing that the children had no objections, Judge felt somewhat relieved.
"You must pay close attention during your patrols and remember what I said."
"Alright, everyone go back to what you're doing."
The three sons and one daughter left the command room, leaving only Judge alone in the room, lost in thought, no one knew what he was thinking.
