Chapter 321: Who Dares Touch My People

North Blue, Germa Kingdom.

The Germa Kingdom is ruled by the Vinsmoke Family, famous for unifying the North Blue and establishing the Germa Empire three hundred years ago.

Unlike the other kingdoms in the Grand Line.

Germa has no fixed territory; instead, it consists of dozens of giant modified snail ships that operate separately in peacetime and form a complete nation when assembled.

The flagship is called the Saint Germain.

Because the Vinsmoke Family has centered its core technology on genetic factor research for generations, and the current head, Judge, once worked alongside Vegapunk and Queen.

The Germa Kingdom's technology leads the way, having reigned supreme in the North Blue for many years.

Core combat personnel are standard-equipped with floating technology shoes, energy belts, and injury-resistant gloves, while their combat suits feature fireproof, bulletproof, and physical enhancement functions.

Their combat style is characterized by technological suppression and rapid advancement, specializing in amphibious land and sea operations.

However, the technology Germa prides itself on was overwhelmingly crushed before the Emperor-level Big Mom Pirates.

To take down the Germa Kingdom in one fell swoop.

Except for Xia Luote Charlotte Lingling, who held the fort in Whole Cake Island and did not come, the Sweet Three Generals—Xia Luote Perospero, Smoothie, and Cracker—arrived in full force.

Cracker hid among the Biscuit Soldiers, treating the resistance of Germa 66 as nothing.

"It really feels a bit strange that Big Brother Katakuri isn't here."

It wasn't just Cracker who couldn't figure it out; the other brothers and sisters also found it hard to believe that Mother would let go.

Sister Brûlée was one thing; besides her, the ugly Brûlée sister had little presence in Whole Cake Island to begin with.

But Big Brother Katakuri is the only brother in the entire Whole Cake Island, besides Mother, who possesses the three types of Haki.

Using the Grand Line's terms, Big Brother Katakuri is the Emperor's Vice-Captain of the Big Mom Pirates, yet Mother actually let Katakuri leave.

He even joined the Morning Star Group.

The stronger the Morning Star Group becomes, the smaller the survival space for Whole Cake Island gets compressed.

Isn't this simply aiding the enemy?

"Yes," Perospero teased.

"Katakuri joining the Morning Star Group has made even me, his older brother, feel an itch in my heart."

As the eldest son of the family, Perospero watched Katakuri grow up; he felt both reluctance and a strange, inexplicable feeling in his heart regarding Katakuri leaving Whole Cake Island.

If Katakuri can go to the Morning Star Group.

Then I, Perospero, might as well be able to as well.

Since meeting Saint Saint Saint Saiwen last time, Old Man Bread has been shouting in his dreams:

I want to find All Blue.

In this sea, besides Saint Saint Saint Saiwen, only the Roger Pirates members, who know not where they are hiding, know exactly where All Blue is located.

Perospero has thought more than once about taking Old Man Bread along to join the Morning Star Group together.

He has already thought of the reason—

It is not betraying Whole Cake Island and Mother, but to realize Old Man Bread's dream.

Even Mother couldn't find any fault with it.

In fact, if the news leaked out, whoever heard it would praise him as a high-class pirate and a great filial son.

Xia Luote Smoothie interrupted their idle chat.

"Take down Germa as soon as possible to avoid trouble from a long night; do you want Mother to collect your lifespan?"

Perospero gave a sheepish smile; precisely because he feared Mother collecting his lifespan, he had not taken Old Man Bread to join the Morning Star Group.

"Attack with full force."

Following the command, Cracker operated countless Biscuit Soldiers, making the assault even fiercer and directly flattening the Germa snail fleet at the vanguard.

"Vinsmoke Judge, surrender."

Cracker acted arrogantly and coolly: "Even if you scream until your throat breaks, no one will come to save you today; continuing to struggle only increases casualties."

"Think of your wife and children; you wouldn't want them to become victims under the blade..."

Just then, a voice more arrogant than Cracker's exploded across the sky.

"Who dares to touch my people?!"

A massive green dragon blocked out the sun and moon; Kaido's two dragon eyes, like searchlights, swept over the Sweet Three Generals led by Perospero.

"Oh~ so it's my great-nephew."

"Since I'm in a good mood now, quickly take your people and roll away from before me."

Cold sweat poured from Perospero's forehead; Kaido's arrival meant the level of war had escalated.

In the entire Whole Cake Island, only Mother, who is also an Emperor, can match Kaido, and Mother is not here at this moment; even if they bleed their last drop of blood, the action to seize Germa is destined to fail.

It is better to preserve our fighting strength.

In this battle, the fault lies not in fighting but with Kaido; Mother will not blame them for this.

"Kaido, this matter is not over."

Perospero threw out a sentence, waved his hand: "Brothers, let's retreat."

Perhaps because he intended to take the Germa Kingdom into his possession, Kaido was in a good mood and rarely lost his temper, allowing the Sweet Three Generals to leave with their people.

"Wu la la la la~"

"Brother Judge, Big Brother has arrived."

Since Germa was destined to belong to the Beasts Pirates, Kaido didn't mind continuing to be a high-class pirate who is Heavy on Emotion.

Willing to travel ten thousand li to save a brother, rushing from the New World to the North Blue; anyone would have to praise him as Heavy on Emotion.

Judge felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit, yet he had to finish this play of brotherly love and friendship with Kaido, since he had previously decided to defect to Kaido.

He even promised Kaido to lead the entire Germa Kingdom to relocate to the northern waters of Punk Hazard.

Since resistance was impossible, Jia Zhi could only enjoy it.

"Brother Kaido!!!"

"Brother Jia Zhi!!!"

Crack~ Queen pocketed the photo-taking Den Den Mushi and nodded toward Kaido to signal: Boss, the photos are done.

This was one of the gains after Kaido and Vergo reviewed Saint Saint Saiwen's sea voyages: What you do doesn't matter; what matters is making the sea know you did it.

The difference lies only in this—

Morgans actively promoted Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, while he, Kaido, paid Morgans to promote him.

To achieve greater fame, public opinion is extremely important.

In the past, failing to focus on public opinion was the very reason Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen became an Emperor of the Sea one step ahead!

"Brother Jia Zhi, waiting for an auspicious day is no better than seizing the day."

"Why not let Big Brother escort you and move over today?"

Jia Zhi had no choice: "Brother Kaido, I'll listen to you, Brother. Please take care of me in the future."

Hearing this, Kaido grinned.

"Let's set out."

Having taken the entire Germa Kingdom without drawing blood, Kaido was in high spirits and signaled Queen to send the photos to Vigor, who would then forward them to Morgans.

To formally declare to the sea: He, Kaido, holds sovereignty over the Germa Kingdom.

And when Jia Zhi introduced Kaido to the five Vinsmoke siblings: Reiju, Ichiji, Niji, Xiao Shan Zhi, and Yonji, Kaido's mouth stretched so wide it wouldn't close.

"Wu la la la la~"

Once these five cyborgs grow up, they will directly become the backbone of the Beasts Pirates.

These five little ones must be trained well.

Meanwhile, through bloodline factor cloning technology, Germa cultivates mass-produced warriors who reach adulthood in five years; though they lack independent consciousness, they are absolutely loyal and serve as expendable war tools.

Paired with artificial Devil Fruits, the Beasts Pirates will possess an endless supply of Devil Fruit user soldiers, and can also equip the Beasts Pirates with Germa battle suits...

All Morning Star Corps officers possess flight abilities; with Germa's hovering shoes, everyone in the Beasts Pirates will be able to fly!

This single advantage alone makes them stronger than the Morning Star Corps.

The more Kaido thought about it, the happier he became, wishing time would pass even faster, until all the Beasts Pirates seedlings had grown up to help him rule the world.

"Queen, notify Vigor to prepare a banquet."
