Seeing Judge's expression as if he had lost a loved one, Kazu felt no pity for him whatsoever.
But I also know in my heart that this is probably the other party's limit.
In the first round, they asked for an exorbitant price; in the end, they negotiated a lower price.
If the pressure continues this way in the second round, the opponent might just explode on the spot.
If we really don't have any combat suits to wear, that would be a huge loss.
Although he doesn't need these things, they are very useful to Makino and the others, and can even save lives in critical moments.
Besides, this combat suit looks pretty fun, so he could give it a try.
"Never mind, don't say I'm heartless."
"Thirteen sets it is fine. I'll take your daughter with me, so you can maintain Germa's fighting strength while taking care of your sons."
"However, since I'm not getting twenty-six combat suits all at once, your daughter will have to stay with me permanently."
"You can also interpret this as a form of collateral, after all, you promised me permanent free repairs."
Kazu spoke with such righteous indignation that at first glance it seemed he was genuinely considering Judge's best interests.
Judge had no choice; the fact that the other party had agreed to this extent was already a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Well, he could only grit his teeth and bear it when he encountered the Blond Hair Pirates. He was just unlucky.
However, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what the other party did.
After all, the wealth of Germa 66 was acquired through robbery and waging war, so don't laugh at me, Second Brother.
The Blond Hair Pirates are so strong; if he had the fighting power of Her Kazi, he would be even more greedy and brutal than them.
At least...
We need to unify North Blue first!
If Kazu knew what Judge was thinking, he would definitely laugh at him for being narrow-minded and having no idea how powerful he really was.
It's just the North Blue. If Kazu were to go to Mary Geoise now to demonstrate his strength, and then talk to Imu and the Five Elders about peaceful coexistence and cooperation, the only condition would be the North Blue.
He was certain that Imu would approve the decision to hand over North Blue directly to Kazu.
"Okay, I promise."
Judge reluctantly accepted Kazu's conditions, then turned to look at his daughter Reiju.
" Reiju, from now on you will follow Captain Kazu."
"This is also a good thing for you; you'll be able to grow even more in the Blond Hair Pirates."
"Yes, Father."
Reiju, seemingly an emotionless machine, expressionlessly agreed to Judge's order.
Then, with light steps, she walked towards Kazu.
Reiju approached Kazu, looked up at the handsome and imposing Kazu before her, and said calmly, "Lord Kazu, from now on I belong to you."
These suggestive words didn't make Kazu feel anything was amiss.
Because he genuinely desires her body, and she will indeed become his woman in the future.
It's like a child who already has several toys, but still wants to have a new and interesting one.
Kazu feels the same way about beautiful women; if he meets a woman he likes and doesn't take her, he feels like he's missing out on a fortune.
"Don't worry, once you're on my ship, I'll be your protector, and no one will be able to bully you."
"By the way, Judge."
"You've revoked your control over Reiju; she's now free."
"If you dare to try anything clever, Germa will cease to exist."
Kazu's words were cold, Judge knew that Kazu was serious.
Judge was puzzled; how did Her Kazi know so much?
This is a shackle he left in his children's genes, intended to make them unable to disobey his commands.
Although he didn't know how Her Kazi found out about this, he didn't intend to keep anything to himself.
Since you've already given your daughter to Kazu, you might as well give her away completely.
It would be incredibly foolish to incur the wrath of a Pirate King over such a trivial matter.
"No problem, it's very simple."
"Have Reiju come to my lab in a bit; she can be unblocked in about ten minutes."
Kazu was very satisfied with Judge's pragmatism.
Reiju heard what Kazu and her father said, and although she was still trying her best to hide it, the surprise in her eyes betrayed her feelings.
She is different from her brothers Sanji and Ichiji.
She and Sanji have feelings for each other, while Ichiji, Yonji, and Niji are just three cold machines.
Having witnessed Sanji's fate as a child, she has never dared to show that she has feelings.
She was afraid that her father would either reform her or abandon her altogether.
And Kazu's decision to grant her absolute freedom made her feel for the first time that she was being protected and loved by someone.
This deeply touched her.
