As Judge finished speaking, the high-voltage current accumulated in the spearhead was released all at once.

The deadly blue arc of electricity, like a fishing net, instantly enveloped Kane's entire body.

"Success! Now fall down obediently!" Judge laughed wildly, full of pride. "The electricity released by my spear is so strong that even a sea king can't withstand it!"

The next second, the power grid emitted the sound he least wanted to hear.

"Therefore, this level of current is only good for electrocuting fish."

A dark, domineering hand, ignoring the raging electric current, firmly grasped the spear shaft wreathed in sparks.

Immediately afterwards, Judge felt a tremendous force coming from his hand, trying to take control of the spear.

Swah——

Kane casually snatched the spear.

Judge was pulled off balance by the immense inertia, lost control of his body, and fell to the ground in a sorry state.

He raised his head, trembling, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The man in front of him was curiously playing with the spear, completely ignoring him and showing no sign of war, as if his interest in the spear far exceeded his own.

How could this be? So strong!

Even after using all my methods, I still couldn't get him to use his full strength?

Are the battle suits of my Vinsmoke family just toys to true powerhouses?

What about all my years of research?

Judge's face was ashen; the loss of his ideals caused him far more pain than the physical blows.

Overwhelmed with grief, he suddenly burst into tears like a child: "I've wasted my life! Ancestors of the Vinsmoke family, I'm so sorry!"

Crying?

Is it possible for the king of a kingdom to have his emotions break down so easily?

Hiyori Kozuki was stunned.

Lord Kane didn't do anything to him, did he?

"Oh, so you're a crybaby!" Yamato made a face and said disdainfully, "So what if you lost the battle? You can just win it back next time."

Considering her greatness, with countless defeats throughout her life, when did she ever have an emotional breakdown?

"Don't hurt my father!"

At that moment, a pink figure ran over and stood in front of Judge, her expression resolute.

"Rei, Reiju?"

Judge, who was crying, was stunned. He never expected that Reiju, who was supposed to be emotionless, would suddenly run over to protect him.

For a moment, Gaji felt a mix of emotions.

Kane's gaze swept over Reiju's sexy and alluring figure: "Sure, but what will you offer in exchange?"

Reiju's breath hitched. She wasn't a princess raised in seclusion, so she naturally understood that there's no such thing as a free lunch.

She mustered her courage: "I'll do anything as long as you spare my father and brothers."

Ok?

Those words sound so familiar.

Violet was taken aback.

Have I ever said something similar myself?

"Reiju, you—"

Before Kane could reply, a hint of reluctance flashed across Judge's face, but the words to persuade Reiju to give up sacrificing herself lingered in his throat and he couldn't bring himself to say them.

The future of the Vinsmoke family and a daughter—the balance between the two is constantly shifting.

"make a deal."

Judge heard the answer he had been subconsciously hoping for.

Kane naturally had no reason to refuse.

Leaving aside Reiju's beauty and abilities, there is an even greater treasure behind her.

The Vinsmoke family's true masterpiece—Sanji!

He didn't want to miss out on this buy-one-get-one-free deal.

Some are happy, some are sad.

Violet snuggled up to Hiyori, watching Kane accept Reiju, her lips slightly pouting, her tone tinged with jealousy:

"Hey, Hiyori, do you think Kane... has some kind of princess collecting fetish?"

"Hmm?" Hiyori asked, puzzled.

Violet immediately started counting on her fingers: "Look, I used to be the princess of Dressrosa, you used to be the princess of Wano Country, and Yamato, needless to say, as Kaido's daughter, is also the princess of Onigashima."

Upon closer reflection, it's true.

Hiyori Kozuki couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Violet put her hands on her hips and snorted, "I bet our next sister will be another princess from some country."

"As long as Lord Kane is happy."

Hiyori gazed at Kane's figure with tender and doting eyes.

Having grown up receiving education in Wano Country, she is a traditional woman.

Hiyori was like that, and Yamato was even more indifferent. Compared to jealousy and rivalry, she preferred fighting.

All Kane needs to do is stay by her side.

Meanwhile, Judge, who had been given a new lease on life, received a bolt from the blue.

“I didn’t intend to do anything to you. Didn’t I already say? I just wanted to teach your arrogant sons a lesson.”

Kane shrugged.

Ugh? !

What about my mental journey just now?

"So, what brings you here?" Judge asked curiously.

"Cooperation."

Kane uttered two words lightly, but they exploded like a bomb in Judge's heart.

"Cooperation with the beasts?" Judge swallowed hard.

“Of course.” Kane nodded in confirmation, glanced around, and paused. “However, is negotiating here…”

"Oh, this way please."

Judge snapped out of his daze, scrambled to his feet, and instantly plastered an almost fawning smile on his face. He bowed and led Kane and his party toward the central castle.

Reiju didn't go with them; instead, she went to take care of her seriously injured younger brothers.

Upon entering the magnificent castle hall, a huge portrait caught Violet's eye.

In the painting, Judge is clad in armor, standing on four crowned heads, exuding an aura of dominance over the world.

Upon seeing this, Judge immediately straightened his back, pointed at the portrait, and introduced in a loud voice: "This is the founding war of my Germa Kingdom! I defeated the allied forces of the four kingdoms of the North Sea and cut off their king's head, thus establishing the Germa Kingdom's prestige in this sea."

He paused, then his tone became even more impassioned: "And our ancestors once unified this sea area for 66 days!"

Judge spoke of his ancestors' glory with such pride that he completely forgot about the crushing defeat he had just suffered.

“No wonder there are 66 symbols everywhere in the kingdom,” Violet suddenly realized.

Chapter 55 Cooperation Matters

The Vinsmoke family was indeed once very wealthy.

The World Economic Daily once published a popular illustrated story called "The Warrior of the Sea: Sky".

The main villainous evil legion is Germa 66.

The story is based on the experience of Judge's ancestor.

The group took their seats and began formal negotiations.

“We have two requests,” Kane said bluntly, holding up two fingers.

“First,” he said, glancing at Judge, “to tailor-make combat suits for the main officers of the Beasts Pirates.”

Despite their seemingly weak performance in the previous battle, without their combat suits, they would only be in a more sorry state.

It can be said that the combat suits greatly raised their minimum standards.

Gadget was quite proud to have gained Kane's approval.

Although the previous battles where he was completely defenseless had eroded his confidence, he quickly realized that his failure was due to encountering a monster he shouldn't have met, rather than a lack of skill.

This is equivalent to having someone prove why one plus one equals two after they have just learned that one plus one equals two.

The Vinsmoke family's illustrious reputation across the world is the best proof of this.

But, mass production of combat suits?

Judge looked troubled: "It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that the key materials are limited. Making the combat suit requires a precious memory metal, and I don't have much in stock. Moreover, the combat suit is not the complete version yet; I still need to make improvements, which will consume more materials for testing."

He paused, afraid that Kane would be dissatisfied, and said cautiously, "However, I can still squeeze out some materials for the combat suits of the people present if I grit my teeth."

"I understand, let's make four sets first."

Kane nodded understandingly, "I'll try to solve the problem of the special metal. Maybe then we can take the combat suit's defensive capabilities to the next level."

"That's great!"

Judge feigned surprise, but inwardly he was unconvinced.

In his view, Kane and his companions were not scientists and probably didn't even know how to smelt metals, so what solution could they possibly have?
