The Chapter get Retranslated
In the magnificent palace hall.
The Vinsmoke family was rare in their gathering (missing Sanji).
Vinsmoke Judge sat alone on the throne at the very top.
In the center of the hall, the four siblings sat around a large round table in sequence, and the atmosphere was very strange.
If it weren't for the fragrant, mouth-watering delicacies on the table, one would hardly guess this was a family dinner.
"This time, you've all worked hard!"
Judge, sitting on the main seat, didn't rush to eat and said with satisfaction, "The King and nobles of the Firland Kingdom were greedy and wantonly exploited their people, leading to a rebellion... But this rebellion is good for Germa; it has brought us a considerable amount of development funds..."
"The reason for war doesn't matter; as long as one side pays, we make them win..."
Niji had selectively forgotten the unpleasantness that happened in the afternoon.
Because no matter what, he and Yonji couldn't beat that bastard Ichiji. If Judge hadn't intervened in time, they might not be sitting here for dinner now.
They could only blame themselves for being too weak; that was the cruel reality!
"Just kill both sides..." Yonji said vaguely, eating, "Wouldn't it be better to earn more money?"
They, who should have been bruised and battered, were now completely unharmed, a testament to their monstrous physique.
Although his strength wasn't great, his resilience and recovery power were formidable.
Of course, this was also related to Germa's scientific medical technology.
"You're talking without thinking. Do you think the World Government is just a decoration? Once Germa does something like that, causing panic in other countries, it will be ostracized by those kingdoms, and even face joint protests. It might even be directly expelled from the World Government member nations."
Ichiji glanced at Yonji, striking him with an indifferent tone: "But if Germa is then branded as pirates or criminals, it might even be directly targeted by the Marines for annihilation... "
"To put it bluntly, with Germa's current strength, it's impossible to contend with that behemoth. It might even face a devastating, merciless blow! After all, the Marines stationed in the Grand Line are not on the same level as the amateurs in the four seas..."
"..."
Both Niji and Yonji fell silent.
Because over the years, under Ichiji's influence, they deeply understood the strength of the Marines and were not so arrogant as to think that the current Germa could contend with the World Government's Marine Headquarters.
Especially Judge, sitting at the head of the table, his face also became somewhat heavy.
He had been struggling for Germa 66 to once again dominate North Blue, and over the years, he felt this deeply.
If it weren't for the fear of the World Government, that behemoth, with Germa 66's current strength, how could they not even have their own true territory?
That could be described as a deeply despairing powerlessness!
At the very least, the current Germa 66 had not yet reached the expected level.
"Let's not talk about such heavy topics..."
Reiju raised her red wine, took a small sip, and asked with a smile, "By the way, I'm very curious, how strong are you now, Ichiji?"
The somewhat oppressive atmosphere eased, and not only Niji and Yonji, but even Judge looked at Ichiji, full of curiosity.
Since three years ago, they hadn't seen Ichiji fight with full power.
The only relatively representative instance was a year ago, during an expedition to the first half of the Grand Line, when they clashed with a Supernova pirate crew with a bounty exceeding 193 million Berries in a certain sea area.
One blow!
With just one blow, that Supernova with a bounty of nearly 200 million was directly pierced through the heart!
He didn't even use Armament Haki. Even with eyes closed, it was clear he hadn't used his full strength!
Not to mention, that was a year ago.
"The Admirals of Marine Headquarters are the pinnacle of Marine combat power, each a true 'monster.' Until I've actually fought them, I don't know how strong those 'monsters' truly are..."
Ichiji glanced at Reiju, Judge, and the others, who were listening intently, and put down his tableware, pondering slightly.
He didn't compare himself to Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals, as that would be meaningless.
"However, I think there's still some distance!"
He frowned and remained silent for a while, but still had no concrete conclusion.
Even born with a monstrous physique, scientifically enhanced in strength, toughness, and durability far beyond ordinary people.
One could say his natural starting point was higher than other powerhouses.
Over the years, incredibly frantic and brutal training, countless dangerous battles...
Ordinary pirates with bounties over 100 million were simply no match for him.
But he wouldn't naively believe that he was already fearless of Marine Admirals.
Among the three Marine Admirals, whether it was Akainu's Magu Magu no Mi, Aokiji's Hie Hie no Mi, or Kizaru's Pika Pika no Mi, they were all absolutely top-tier abilities among the diverse Logia-type Devil Fruits.
One had to admit that some Devil Fruit users had too great a natural advantage; they were practically chosen by the heavens.
