One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 225: Gaudy, but vulnerable

In the Kingdom of Broccoli, in the royal capital.

"Great!"

Manuli III looked at Judge with a big smile on his face.

The resistance forces that had caused them great anxiety, wasted money and time, and had not been dealt with for more than two years were dealt with in less than two days after the "combat expert" Germa took action.

I heard that even the king, the "Strange Bird" Judge, hadn't taken any action yet, but his three underage princes easily and cleanly dealt with the rebels.

"As expected of a combat expert, if I had found you earlier, perhaps the battle would have ended long ago."

If he was originally somewhat dissatisfied with Germa 66, now Manuli III is very satisfied with it no matter how he looks at it.

"Professional matters should be left to professionals."

As the reward was about to be received, a rare smile appeared on Jiazhi's face.

He was also very satisfied with this mission, both in terms of the reward and the difficulty of the mission.

This kind of task is the best, with low difficulty but high rewards.

After receiving this reward, I have money to continue my research.

Not only that, the performance of Iji and the other three in this mission was also very good, and they were all masterpieces that he was satisfied with!

"You Broccoli Nation are experts in agriculture, but when it comes to war, we Germa are the most professional."

Being in a good mood, Judge was not reluctant to say a few more words to Manuli III.

Tyrant Fist Rod has emerged as a new force, stirring up trouble in recent times and making the situation in the New World even more chaotic.

Not only that, the actions of the revolutionary army became more frequent, unrest occurred frequently in many countries around the world, and internal uprisings and revolutions emerged one after another.

Most of the member states relied too much on the protection of the navy. On the other hand, the high cost of gold led to a depleted treasury and they simply did not have the financial resources to support the army. Faced with internal uprisings, they did not have the ability to quickly quell the rebellion.

At times like these, it's time for war experts like Germa 66 to come on the scene.

"Your Majesty King Manuli III, if other kingdoms need anything, please feel free to contact us at Germa."

"As all of us are members of the World Government, it is only natural that we should help each other."

"As long as the remuneration is appropriate, we Germa will solve your war problems as quickly as possible."

"Even if we want to send troops to attack other non-member countries, Germa can provide assistance!"

For a country like Germa, war is almost their only means of acquiring wealth. Only constant wars and employment can allow them to maintain the normal operation of the country.

"Of course!"

Manuli III was very satisfied with Germa's performance this time. Upon hearing this, he and Judge laughed and hugged each other happily. For a moment, both the host and the guest were in harmony.

On the other side, the three Vinsmoke brothers also had a great conversation with the princes and nobles of Broccoli Kingdom at the banquet.

As children born from Judge's "bloodline factor" technology, the three Vinsmoke brothers have superhuman bodies, and their "emotions" were taken away by Judge when they were born.

Apart from the "lust" engraved in their genes, they have no other special feelings.

However, because of the education that Jiazhi received since childhood, they have the arrogance of the royal family and know how to use their identity to communicate with people of different status.

If they are facing civilians, they will pretend to be very graceful.

However, if they are facing nobles of the same status, they will display royal demeanor.

And behind the three brothers, in a slightly hidden corner, Reiju was holding a wine glass in her hand, with a hint of worry flashing across her eyes.

Be it his father or his brothers, none of them seemed to take Tyrant Rhodes seriously.

The captured subordinates of Tyrant Rod are still imprisoned in the underground prison of Germa, but his father and three younger brothers have never thought about how to face Tyrant Rod in the future. Instead, they are entertaining the princes and nobles of Broccoli Kingdom.

When she gave her advice to her father before, he just laughed and ignored her.

In Judge's view, his children have been transformed by the "bloodline factor" technology, and now they all have extraordinary strength and have mastered some superpowers. The Germa Kingdom has a large number of clone soldiers, and its weapons technology is also at the forefront of the world.

The power he wields, or the war strength, is considered powerful even in the whole world. Apart from the World Government, perhaps only the Four Emperors of the New World and some special countries can compare with him.

Tyrant Rod is just one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, there is no need to worry about him.

But there was always a lingering worry in Reiju's heart.

buzzing~~~
A powerful aura suddenly came from a distant place, and a strong sense of oppression crushed the palace. Reiju felt as if she was being stared at by some terrifying creature. An uncontrollable sense of fear rose from the bottom of her heart, and sweat oozed uncontrollably from her forehead.

"Overlord color!"

This powerful feeling of oppression is undoubtedly the domineering aura.

As many people often say, in this world, people who possess the talent of Dominant Haki are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river, and possessing Dominant Haki itself is not something particularly noteworthy.

However, people who can possess such a powerful domineering Haki are definitely rare.

Even without seeing the person, and even outside the range of the observation Haki, she could still feel such a strong sense of oppression from a long distance. This level of Haki was something Reiju had never seen before in her life.

Thump~thump~
Even Reiju performed so poorly, let alone those so-called princes and nobles in the palace. Under the impact of the terrifying domineering aura, they fell down one by one like wheat being cut.

"Who is it!"

Jiazhi's hair and beard stood on end, and he turned his head suddenly like a provoked beast, his eyes full of vigilance.

"I feel like my body is a little out of control."

“It’s like being stuck in a quagmire.”

"Is it an enemy?"

The three Vinsmoke brothers also turned around.

They had no emotions and did not know what "fear" was. Even towards death, they did not feel anything. Although they sensed an extremely powerful domineering aura that might even affect their combat movements, there was no sign of retreat in their eyes.

No response.

Everyone in the palace lost consciousness under the impact of the domineering aura, only the five people from the Vinsmoke family remained standing.

But their questions received no response, as if there was no enemy at all.

However, that terrifying domineering aura is still there.

The powerful domineering aura was still oppressing them. Just as the second son Vinsmoke Niji said, the whole person was like being stuck in a quagmire, and even moving was difficult.

Moreover, as time passed, they could feel that the oppression exerted on them was getting stronger.

Tread~tap~tap~
I don’t know how long it had passed. Just when the pressure from the domineering aura was getting stronger and stronger, almost making Judge unable to stand, the sound of footsteps finally rang in their ears.

click-

As the footsteps approached, the gate of the palace seemed to be bombarded by an invisible object. Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, and cracks appeared.

collapse--

Not only the gate, but even the floor tiles under their feet suddenly cracked for some unknown reason.

More sweat oozed from Judge's face, slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground beneath his feet.

A figure finally appeared at the gate of the palace, and a head of crimson hair caught Judge's sight.

"The Four Emperors!" This domineering aura as if he were the king of the world, is it indeed the Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors!
etc···
Blue eyes! ?
Red hair, blue eyes, and two arms. This is not Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, but the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Baquan Rod!"

"what?"

As soon as Rhodes entered the palace, he heard what came out of Judge's mouth.

"The Four Emperors? Don't talk nonsense. I am a righteous partner, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Security companies still need to use the banner of the World Government to recruit soldiers and horses, don't talk nonsense about the Four Emperors or anything like that.

Although the Four Emperors can also get many people to join them in the New World, they are pirates after all. For most civilians in this world, joining pirates is not their first choice.

"According to the agreement with the World Government, the Shichibukai cannot take the initiative to attack allied countries."

Rhodes walked slowly into the palace, his terrifying domineering aura still released, pressing towards the members of the Vinsmoke family.

Robin, who was following behind him, used the power of his fruit to quickly tidy up the tables and chairs in the palace, and moved a chair behind Rhodes.

Rhodes sat down, his domineering aura was condensed and concentrated, and an even more terrifying momentum pressed down on the members of the Vinsmoke family, making it almost impossible for them to stand.

"But this time, you attacked my people."

"Tell me, give me a reason to let you go."

There was cold sweat on Jiazhi's head.

"You are just a Shichibukai, don't be so arrogant!"

Vinsmoke's second son Niji suddenly let out a loud roar, and stood up under the pressure of Rod's domineering aura, with terrifying lightning flashing on his body.

As the product of the transformation of the "bloodline factor", the three Vinsmoke brothers were deprived of emotions at birth and have no fear at all, whether of their enemies or of death.

This certainly makes them extremely brave in battle and able to move forward courageously no matter what enemy they face, but it also makes them unable to avoid or bow their heads when facing strong enemies.

Just as Niji jumped up, Iji and Yongji also took action. The three of them gathered all their strength and launched a powerful attack on Rhodes.

"Mixed Color Explosion!!"

This is a combination skill of the three brothers. The three of them work in perfect harmony and mobilize all their strength at the same time to attack the target at the same moment.

Looking at the red, green, and blue lights flashing before his eyes, Rhodes clenched his fist with one hand, domineering aura surging in his arm. His body was still sitting upright on the chair, but as they attacked, he suddenly punched out.

blah-

The domineering aura surged, and black lightning flashed in the sky.

boom! ! !
A powerful impact erupted, and a terrifying air wave surged instantly, knocking the cups, plates, tables and chairs in the palace into a mess.

bang——

The next moment, three figures, red, green and blue, flew backwards and slammed heavily into the wall of the palace.

"It's too fancy to be vulnerable."

Rhodes' expression remained unchanged. He withdrew the protective aura that was wrapped around the chair under him and looked at Judge with indifferent eyes.

"Now, you need to think a little more."

Jiazhi felt like he was being stared at by a ferocious beast, and he couldn't even turn around to check the injuries of his children.

In the face of absolute power, the technology and powerful military force that he once prided himself on became like a joke.

Under the impact of this domineering aura, the clone soldiers couldn't even maintain their consciousness and were completely unable to play any role.

After being transformed by himself with the "bloodline factor" technology, the children possessed powerful powers, but they were completely defeated in one encounter and their lives and deaths were unknown.

I'm afraid my high-tech weapons will not be able to have any effect on the other side.

Not to mention, even though I have high-tech weapons, I can't even take action.

pat-

The stone fell to the ground and Iji struggled to stand up. One of his arms was bent at a strange angle, his right leg was dragging on the ground, his chest was a little sunken, and blood kept coming out of his mouth.

Under Rod's terrifying power, the three Vinsmoke brothers, who had not yet fully grown up, had no power to resist, and their proud physical defenses completely lost their effectiveness.

However, even though he was seriously injured, there was no fear in Iji's eyes. As long as he was still alive and conscious, he would stand up and attack the enemy using all the means available.

"Do you want to continue? You will die."

Rhodes looked at the eldest son of the Vinsmoke family who had stood up again.

The other two people should have lost consciousness after that punch just now and have no power to resist at all.

The eldest son is worthy of being the eldest son, his strength is much stronger than the other two.

However, such behavior makes no sense at all.

There was a huge gap between them, an insurmountable chasm that could not be filled by willpower or anything else.

"Death? There's nothing to be afraid of."

There was no fear of the enemy or death in Iji's eyes.

The feeling of fear has not existed since he was born.

"Iji!"

Judge suddenly turned his head and looked at his eldest son, his face already covered with tears.

He devoted everything he had to the cause of restoring the Germa Kingdom to its glory.

To this end, he used the "bloodline factor" technology to transform his children, allowing them to have powerful powers from birth, and after a little training they all became like supermen.

In order to make them excellent warriors, they were deprived of their emotions from birth, so that they could abandon all emotions and fight bravely.

In order to ensure the strong combat effectiveness of the Germa Kingdom, he also used his own technology to produce many high-tech weapons and bred a large number of clone warriors.

However, all his actions and preparations, as well as all his efforts over the years, were shattered by the other party with just one fist.

What is the meaning of everything I have done over the years?
"Stop it, don't fight!"

After stopping his eldest son from committing suicide, Judge fell to his knees with a plop and looked at Rhodes with tears streaming down his face.

"The Vinsmoke Family and the Germa Kingdom are willing to join you and serve you!"

"As long as I can make Germa's name known throughout the world again, I'm willing to do anything!"

A smile appeared on Rhodes' face. He walked up to Judge and patted him on the shoulder.

"You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me."

"However, if you show enough value, I will not be stingy in rewarding you."

"Whether it's the honor or the power you want, I can give it all to you."

The domineering aura that had been shrouding her was finally removed. Reiju gasped violently as if she was suddenly rescued from the bottom of the water, and then looked at the figure standing in front of her father with complicated eyes.

Will this man be someone the Vinsmoke family is loyal to from now on?
