Several days later, the newspapers were published.
[Kingdom of Kuhn Tragically Destroyed!]
[North Sea Pirate Allied Fleet!]
[The Hero Strikes!]
The battle that took place in the Kingdom of Kuhn quickly spread throughout the North Sea, immediately causing panic—especially among the affiliated nations, who feared becoming the next target of the Beasts.
North Sea, an unaffiliated nation.
War was breaking out.
Though called a war, it was actually a one-sided invasion and plunder. Against the overwhelming military might of Germa 66, the resistance of the unaffiliated nation was nothing more than a joke.
In just three hours, the war ended.
The king's head was severed, and the Germa flag was planted atop the royal palace!
[The Evil Army Germa 66!]
The bloodstained palace hall had been cleared of corpses. In the center of the hall, an elegant dining table was set with delicious food.
"Cheers!"
The Vinsmoke family raised their glasses, celebrating their victory.
But the joy of victory didn't last long.
A soldier entered the palace hall to report.
"Commander, we have a situation!"
"Speak."
King Judge set down his glass, his expression slightly displeased.
The soldier immediately replied, "A pirate ship is approaching the southwestern coast. Based on the flag, it's the Beasts Pirates, one of the Four Emperors!"
"The Beasts?!"
Judge's expression changed.
The Beasts Pirates, one of the Four Emperors—the most powerful underground force of this era.
Without equal!
Moreover, the Beasts Pirates had just destroyed the Kingdom of Kuhn. For them to come here now, it was hard to believe they bore no hostility.
Ichiji, the eldest son, frowned.
"Are they enemies?"
"Can't confirm yet."
The soldier shook his head.
The Beasts Pirates were approaching, but they hadn't launched an attack. It was impossible to determine their intentions.
Judge picked up his Electromagnetic Gun.
"Prepare yourselves. Let's go take a look!"
"Understood!"
Ichiji and the others took out their transformation devices.
If a conflict arose, they could transform and fight at any moment.
The harbor.
Dozens of massive Snail Ships were anchored near the port. As the Groudon Ship approached, all the snails' eyes turned to watch.
"Those are huge snails!"
"Are they afraid of salt?"
"These giant snails can swim in seawater—how could they possibly be afraid of salt?!"
"Idiot, snails hating salt is common knowledge!"
The pirates argued among themselves, showing no tension despite being surrounded. Some even brought out bags of salt to test the theory.
Gurd was also intrigued.
There were many types of snails in this world, but rare breeds this large were extremely uncommon. He had no idea where Germa had found them.
"Watch this!"
Antelope, unable to resist mischief, grabbed a large bag of salt and tossed it onto a snail.
"BEEP! BEEP!"
The snail flew into a rage, its eyes turning red.
A piercing alarm echoed through the air!
"ENEMY ATTACK!!!"
At the soldiers' shouts, the Snail Ships quickly moved to surround the Groudon. Countless soldiers appeared along the edges of the snail vessels.
Antelope awkwardly waved.
"Sorry, just a joke!"
"Eliminate them!"
But the Germa soldiers had no intention of conversation. They immediately launched their assault, with hordes of soldiers leaping from the Snail Ships onto the Groudon.
Antelope's face turned pale.
These soldiers looked fierce—undoubtedly elite troops.
"Always causing trouble."
Gurd shook his head in exasperation.
From what he knew, all of Germa 66's soldiers were clones, bred in short cycles. Combined with Germa's deliberate conditioning, the soldiers lacked negative emotions like fear.
They were practically no different from robots.
Therefore, when attacked, these soldiers would automatically enter counterattack mode, completely disregarding who the enemy was and showing no fear or hesitation.
"Kill them all!"
"Ooooh!!!"
With Gurd's command, his subordinates immediately sprang into action, clashing with the Germa soldiers.
"These soldiers are strong!"
"They fight like they have no regard for their lives!"
"Captain, we need help!"
Within just a few minutes, Antelope and the others were already struggling.
The Germa soldiers were not only physically formidable but also fought with extreme brutality, completely ignoring their own injuries.
They were all madmen!
"Impressive!"
Gurd observed the Germa soldiers and quickly came to a conclusion.
Judge was more capable than Queen!
Among the affiliated nations, Germa was undoubtedly a powerful kingdom, relying on its fearless clone army.
Once the Seraphim blueprints were obtained, Judge might very well become the lead researcher, with Queen and Caesar relegated to assisting roles.
"Ulti, Page One!"
"Got it!"
The two formidable fighters charged into the battlefield, instantly turning the tide. Yet, Germa soldiers continued to pour in, completely disregarding casualties.
"Stop!"
Several streaks of light shot toward them from the island!
"Who's there?"
Ulti and Page One narrowed their eyes, immediately transforming into their Beast Forms and slashing at the incoming enemies with their claws!
"Boom!"
Their claw strikes were blocked by flying kicks!
A red and a pink warrior appeared!
The eldest son and daughter of the Vinsmoke family—Ichiji and Reiju!
The Pirates' eyes widened in shock.
"That's the evil army, Germa 66!"
"No.1, the [Red Spark]!"
"And [Ms. Pink Poison]!"
"So cool!"
Gurd looked at his subordinates in surprise.
"You guys know a lot!"
"Captain Gurd, the tales of the Sky Warrior Sora and the evil army Germa are incredibly popular worldwide! We even bought the comics!"
Antelope's eyes sparkled as he pulled out a treasured comic from who-knows-where, its cover featuring a cartoon depiction of the Germa army in their Battle Suits.
These comics had once been promoted by the World Government as educational material on justice, so they were widely circulated.
"They're here!"
"No.2, the [Deep Blue Shock]!"
"No.4, the [Green Winch]!"
"And the king, the [Weird Bird]!"
"Huh? Where's No.3, the [Invisible Fighter]? Is he invisible? Damn it, he's the sneakiest one in Germa!"
The Pirates warily scanned their surroundings.
With the arrival of the Vinsmoke family, the morale of the Germa soldiers soared, and they immediately took on an offensive stance.
"Don't get cocky, Germa 66!"
Ulti and Page One roared simultaneously, unleashing the overwhelming power of their Ancient Zoan abilities. With a single swipe of their claws, they sent Ichiji and Reiju flying!
"BOOM!!!"
The castle atop the Snail Ship exploded!
Protected by their Battle Suits, the two only suffered minor injuries and quickly returned to the battlefield. Just as they were about to resume their assault, Judge stopped them.
"Stand down!"
At his command, all Germa soldiers immediately halted, not even flinching if a blade was about to strike them.
Gurd calmly issued his order.
"Fall back."
"Yes, Captain!"
His subordinates gathered behind him.
Judge stared at Gurd, his pupils contracting.
"You're Calamity Gurd!"
"Pleasure to meet you, Vinsmoke Judge."
Gurd curled his lips into a smirk: "The evil army Germa 66, I've been looking for you for a long time. Would you be interested in joining under my command?"
"..."
Judge's expression darkened immediately.
He knew the Beasts meant trouble, but he hadn't expected them to be so disrespectful.
"I refuse. Germa 66 bows to no one!"
"Is that so? Well, that makes things easier."
Gurd's smile widened.
For disobedient dogs, a good beating will suffice!
