Faced with such tremendous pressure, even he, who was very confident in his craftsmanship, felt a little heavy.

At this moment, Pudding stood up, her eyes full of support and encouragement, "Mr. Sanji, I am also very good at making chocolate, let me make the cake with you."

Sanji nodded and felt relieved. With Pudding's help, the success rate would undoubtedly be much higher.

As Charlotte Lingling's daughter, she must have a deep understanding of her mother's taste preferences, which was crucial in completing this special wedding cake.

Then, Al also made a suggestion. He said to Sanji and Pudding: "I think you can ask Chiffon to help. Her cake-making skills seem pretty good."

Brin was delighted to hear Al's suggestion. Although she didn't know how Al knew about Chiffon's cooking skills, she did know Chiffon's superb skills in cake making.

"Yes, Sister Chiffon is indeed an excellent pastry chef. With her help, our chances will be greater." Brin's voice was full of anticipation.

If Chiffon could join their team, the chances of success of the wedding cake would be greatly increased.

After confirming the chef who would make the cake, Bryn started to worry about the ingredients needed for the wedding cake.

Those ingredients are all top-quality ingredients collected by the Big Mom Pirates from all over the place, and they are simply incomparable to ordinary ingredients.

Besides, my mother had already tasted a little of the original wedding cake, and if the remade cake was not as delicious, it would definitely not satisfy her.

But she suddenly remembered that there were some reserves on the Chocolate Island at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Nations Territory.

Because the pirates who were responsible for collecting the food seized a large amount of food, and after returning to Wanguo, they stored some of the food in the warehouse there.

"We need those top-quality ingredients to make a perfect cake, but right now they are only in stock in the warehouse on Chocolate Island." Brin turned to Al for help, "Captain Al, we need your help to deliver those ingredients to Cake Island as quickly as possible."

Hearing Brin's concerns, Al said with a smile, "Contact the people over there and ask them to move the food to the port. Our ship will arrive there soon, and he will be responsible for delivering the food."

It just so happened that Pedro was sent to Chocolate Island, and the transportation could be completed quickly by asking Kerla to make a trip.

So he turned to Kerla and Garrot and said, "Please go to Chocolate Island with me, wait for the people over there to load the ingredients, and then bring the Orange Windmill back with you."

After hearing the arrangement, the two nodded and ran quickly towards the beach. After the people from the Charlotte family no longer saw them, Kerla used the ability of the fruit to bounce herself and Carrot to Chocolate Island.

Chapter 230: Judge's Choice

Brin also acted quickly, using Den Den Mushi to contact the people of Chocolate Island and asked them to move all the food to the port.

Sanji also walked up to Perospes and asked to remove the handcuffs.

Although these hard seastone handcuffs do not affect his combat too much, they will interfere with his cake making.

Seeing them busy, Erw also asked Reiju to take out the Den Den Mushi to contact Judge, preparing to discuss the issue of Germa Technology with him in person.

At this time, Judge and his three sons were in the territory of the Germa giant snail in the nearby sea.

Now this place has been completely slaughtered by the Big Mom Pirates, and all the clone soldiers he was so proud of have been wiped out.

They are releasing the underage clones in the laboratory and arranging for them to clean up the country and leave the territory of the Ten Thousand Nations.

When Judge heard the communication request from Den Den Mushi, he didn't know what else Reiju wanted to contact him about, but after the call was connected, the voice that came from the Den Den Mushi was El's.

"Mr. Jiazhi, I have something I want to discuss with you. What are you going to do after you leave this time?"

Being touched on a sore spot, Judge's mood suddenly darkened. "Just tell me what you want to say, Al."

"Then I'll tell you, I'm still on Big Mom's Cake Island because Sanji has been captured again. I need a backup of your Germa technology as a condition for setting him free." Al went straight to the point.

Al's words made Judge fall into deep thought.

Faced with the choice of whether to hand over Germa technology in exchange for Sanji's freedom, he was full of conflicts.

Al continued, "I know you want to rule the North Sea, but you should also realize that you can no longer achieve this dream by relying on your own military force. Perhaps you can try a different approach."

"What do you mean?" Judge asked with a puzzled tone in his voice.

El proposed a new point of view: "Germa's technology is so advanced, why not use it to improve the lives of the people of the North Sea and let them truly feel the benefits brought by technological progress? Let everyone see that under the leadership of the Kingdom of Germa, life has become better, safer and more prosperous. In this way, people will naturally yearn for it and be willing to follow Germa's footsteps, rather than being forced to accept Germa's rule through force. Conquering the North Sea in a kingly way rather than a hegemonic way can not only win the hearts of the people, but also allow Germa to maintain its rule in a long and stable manner."

Jiazhi was silent for a moment. Before this, he would never have been moved by such remarks.

For a long time, he has been obsessed with achieving rule over the North Sea through force. He believes that emotions are the most useless things and deliberately abandons their emotions when reforming his children.

But now, things are different.

When he saw the strength displayed by Sanji, whom he had considered a failure, and the changes that took place in his three sons after gaining emotions, he re-examined his beliefs.

In particular, sending his daughter Reiju to join the El Pirates was his most successful investment in recent years.

Watching El grow up and even be able to rival the Four Emperors Charlotte Linlin, Judge had to admit that he wanted to use his emotions to form an alliance with El and help the Germa Kingdom restore its former glory.

However, he and his companions had suffered a crushing defeat at that time, so he was too embarrassed to make such a request in front of Al.

Receiving another call from Al made him feel that it was time to let go of some of his inherent ideas and try a new path.

Thinking of this, Judge finally made up his mind and said, "El, I will pay the conditions required to save Sanji. I hope our Vinsmoke family can form an alliance with you, El."

"Then please arrange for it to be delivered."

As for Judge's question about forming an alliance, after some thought, El said to Judge seriously, "I have no intention of forming an alliance with anyone. If you want to stand on the same side as me, I think you may need to let Reiju become the head of the family."

This sentence made Jiazhi slightly stunned, obviously he did not expect such an answer.

Handing over the leadership of the family to Reiju means accepting a new family order. This is undoubtedly a huge change for him, who is used to tough measures and has always relied on force and authority to maintain family order.

This proposal touched upon his long-held belief system deep in his heart, making it difficult for him to make a decision for a while.

Judge's expression became complicated, and there was a hint of hesitation and struggle in his eyes.

In the end, he chose to temporarily evade the issue as a response, "Al, I need to solve the current problem in Germa first. Big Mom's people attacked my country. I will reply to you after I stabilize everything in Germa."

Al was not eager to get an answer. He responded calmly: "I understand this is an important decision. You can take your time to think about it."

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi contact with El, Judge summoned Niji, Iji and Yongji and told them about his conversation with El.

The decision to hand over the leadership of the family to Reiju is not only related to his personal status, but also to the future direction of the entire Vinsmoke family.

After hearing what Judge said, Ichi frowned, looking somewhat dissatisfied: "Can Reiju do it?"

Niji pondered for a moment and said, "Father, you let Reiju get married in her wedding dress. Isn't that the same as giving Germa directly to El?"

Yongzhi said at the end, "That's possible. Queen Vivi of Alabasta is also a member of the El Pirates. Look at their development over the past year or so. Maybe it's really possible to rule the entire North Sea with their help."

These words instantly lit up the light of hope in Jiazhi's heart.

Nothing is more important than regaining the glory of his ancestors. Even if he abdicates, it will not affect anything. After all, he is still Reiju's biological father. There is nothing wrong with concentrating on studying science and technology in the future.

And this may be a new starting point for the Vinsmoke family to revive.

So, Judge made up his mind to go in person, bring the Germa technology replication data, and go to Cake Island to have a detailed discussion with El in person.

For such an important matter, only through face-to-face communication can the cooperation intention of both parties be truly determined.

On Cake Island, Sanji and his friends encountered a trouble.

Cape Becky and Charlotte Chiffon suddenly disappeared.

When Brin went to their room to look for Chiffon, she found the room empty, and she couldn't get any clues after asking Homies.

Soon, the news reached Usopp and others, and they immediately realized that Capet Bege had escaped.

However, as allies, Usopp and others knew the importance of remaining silent at this time.

"We can't expose our cooperation with Cape Bege," Usopp whispered, a hint of caution in his eyes, "After all, we have only disrupted the wedding. If things escalate to the point of attempting to assassinate Big Mom, then we really won't be able to leave."

Luffy and the others immediately nodded in agreement, making sure not to arouse suspicion.

However, they did not hide it from Al.

After hearing the news from Brin, Al understood everything.

Seeing the Straw Hat Pirates whispering to each other, Al stood up with a smile and said, "As for Chiffon, let me go find her. I have some experience in finding people. You guys go to the kitchen and prepare the utensils first."

After calming their nervousness, Al edited a mission to find Capone Becky.

But when he was about to leave, he suddenly realized that he couldn't leave this place easily.

After all, this is Charlotte Linlin's base camp. If I leave suddenly, it will be difficult for my companions to face the threat of Big Mom alone.

Al turned to Rebecca and decided to let her take Chopper and Reiju to look for Capone Bege.

He pointed in the direction of Capone Bege and calculated the approximate time based on the distance, and told Rebecca, and at the same time said to Reiju: "If Chopper's persuasion doesn't work, then Reiju, you should take action to capture them. Capone and his men's firearms can't hurt you."

Reiju responded confidently, "Don't worry, Captain El, I will make sure to bring Chiffon back."

Suddenly, Al remembered something and said, "By the way, you can tell Chiffon that I know where his father is. This may make it easier to convince her."

After Rebecca and the others left, Al continued to assign tasks to his partners.

"Tashigi, Perona," El turned to them, "Please go to the Temptation Forest and find Pound who is buried there. The giant tree man should know his location. If he doesn't tell you, you can just beat him up."

Perona said with a mischievous smile: "No problem, leave it to us."

What happened next went smoothly.

The Nochigo sisters, who were interested in cooking, also joined Brin and her cake-making team.

Al is responsible for monitoring Charlotte Lingling's whereabouts to ensure that nothing unexpected happens.

Soon, Charlotte Chiffon and Pound returned to Cake Island one after another.

Capone Becky was originally on the run, but after hearing the news about his father-in-law, whom his wife had never met, he nodded and agreed to bring Chiffon back.

Soon after the father and daughter had their heart-warming acquaintance, Chiffon quickly began preparing the cake.

It was almost dusk when Kerla and Gallot brought back the top ingredients they needed from Chocolate Island.

At Nami's request, Brin made a list of the various ingredients needed to make the cake.

Nami carefully listed the part about the top ingredients separately and sent it to Kerla, asking her to leave the extra portion on the Orange Windmill in advance.

El watched Nami's actions with a smile on his face, but did not stop her. After all, these ingredients were indeed precious, and there was nothing wrong in keeping them for everyone.

Under the arrangement of head chef Chiffon, chefs Sanji, Pudding and two assistant chefs Nami and Nojiko began to make the cake.

Chiffon has the most experience in making cakes, and every step is under her control.

Sanji focused on mixing creams and sauces of various flavors.

Brin is in charge of the chocolate decorations. She is very delicate and pays attention to every detail.

As kitchen helpers, Nami and Nojiko were responsible for preparing some raw materials and learning the production process on the side.

In addition, Robin's help is indispensable.

Although Robin is not good at cooking, she enjoyed the process of making the wedding cake.

Her abilities put her in a unique position in the kitchen.

The flexible arm can move freely, greatly improving work efficiency.

"Miss Robin, can you help me spread this cream evenly?"

When she heard the request, she immediately conjured up many arms, picked up all the spatulas in the kitchen, and carefully spread the cream evenly on each layer of the cake, making the surface of the cake as smooth as a mirror.

While all this was going smoothly, Reiju received a call from her father, Judge.

Judge's voice came from the Den Den Mushi, with a hint of firmness and determination, "Reiju, I have decided to make you the new head of the Vinsmoke Family, so that our family can form an alliance with El."

Although Reiju was present during the conversation between El and his father, hearing the news so soon made her feel mixed emotions.

At Judge's request, Al had a meeting with him in a relatively quiet place outside the kitchen.

Al had a faint smile on his face. "Mr. Judge, I didn't expect you to be so decisive. I thought you would take a long time to consider it."

His tone was light, but his eyes revealed a hint of depth.

In fact, the idea of letting Judge abdicate was just a little bit of El's bad taste. It was a counterattack against Judge for letting Reiju join the pirate group in a wedding dress and spreading the news everywhere.

However, facing El's teasing, Judge did not show any anger or dissatisfaction. Instead, he said with a heavy face: "My dream is to rule the North Sea again in the name of Germa and restore the glory of my ancestors. For this dream, I have fought for half my life, but almost let my family perish. This shows that I am not a qualified head of the family."

Jiazhi's words were full of self-blame and reflection. The moment he made up his mind to abdicate, he realized that the path he had been adhering to for a long time might not be correct.

"Perhaps, the ancestor ignored the people's hearts, so he was driven out of power after only ruling for 66 days."

He continued, his voice low but firm, "Now, I hope that by handing over the position of head of the family to Reiju, I can find a new path for the family, a path that will make Germa great again."

After hearing this, El's expression became serious. "I don't know what the future will be like, but I will do my best to help Reiju restore Germa to its glory again."

His words were full of sincerity, and he pledged his full support in this process.

After the two made an agreement, El took Judge to find Charlotte Linlin, ready to hand over Germa's technological backup as agreed before and seek Brulee's peaceful departure.

"Auntie, we brought the technology backup you requested as agreed. I hope you can let Brin leave here happily."

Judge took a step forward and handed over the data storage device containing the technological backup.
