At this moment.
The three brothers of the Vinsmoke family, led by Ichiji, used their jet-propelled shoes to fly across the sea between the Germa War Castle and Gran Tesoro, successfully arriving above the bow of the Gran Tesoro.
The reason they were able to cross the sea so smoothly wasn't because of the speed of their jet shoes. It was simply because Tesoro, wanting to have some fun with them, didn't bother to snip them out of the air.
"Germa's tech battle suits? Only weaklings would use such things!"
Tesoro, sitting on a golden chair molded from gold, casually twirled the golden ring on his finger, looking up and down at Ichiji and the others in mid-air.
"Since the actors are in place, let the show begin! Today's performance is called 'The Lament of Germa'!"
As Tesoro's words fell, several huge spotlights on the Gran Tesoro focused on the three Vinsmoke brothers at the bow, and the scene was broadcast on the large LCD screens in various entertainment venues on the Gran Tesoro.
"Blast them, Golden Emperor!"
"An execution show for Germa? This is interesting…"
"The notorious military group Germa from the North Blue has such a day too?"
"Hey, that's Spark Red, Electric Blue, and Winch Green. Why isn't Poison Pink here? If I could catch Poison Pink, I'd pay a high price for a night with her!"
"Poor guy, a woman of that strength should be enslaved. She can be a bodyguard by day and…"
On the Gran Tesoro, the live broadcast attracted a lot of interest. After all, those who could afford to come to the Gran Tesoro were never short of money. If they faced Germa alone, they wouldn't dare to say much. But with the Golden Emperor Gild Tesoro in front, they dared to speak up, as money could buy anything on the Gran Tesoro!
"Hope you can still smile later."
Ichiji, in his red Spark battle suit, looked down expressionlessly at Tesoro on the golden throne.
"I'll crush his head under my foot later!"
"That redhead with a nice figure is mine later!"
"Hahaha!"
Tesoro laughed as if he had heard a joke when he heard Ichiji and the others' words.
Looking at the laughing Tesoro, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji remained expressionless.
After laughing enough, Tesoro gradually restrained his laughter and looked at the three in the air with a disdainful gaze.
"Do you guys not understand the situation? This isn't the North Blue, it's the New World! Do you know how many small fries like you die every year?"
"Hope your strength matches your mouth!"
As the words fell, red sparks flashed on Ichiji's wrists, ankles, cape, and eyes.
Swish—!
In an instant, Ichiji stepped on the sparks and attacked Tesoro directly.
As lifelong battle companions, Niji and Yonji also launched their attacks simultaneously when Ichiji moved.
They used the speed brought by Germa's equipment to launch attacks on Tesoro from all directions.
"Such ignorant guys."
Facing the attacks from all directions, Tesoro sneered disdainfully.
He sat on the throne without moving, showing no intention of defending himself.
Beside him, Baccarat, Tanaka, and Dice did not move. Instead, they looked at Ichiji and his brothers as if they were already dead.
Accompanied by a rustling sound, liquid gold began to gather and wriggle behind Gild Tesoro, forming into a mass.
As Ichiji and his brothers stepped into Tesoro's attack range, the liquid gold behind him, which looked like slime, suddenly transformed into flexible golden tentacles, resembling golden snakes.
With the appearance of the golden tentacles, Tesoro lightly pointed his finger. This action seemed to give a command to the tentacles.
The golden tentacles, as agile as long snakes, instantly rushed towards Ichiji and his brothers.
Whoosh! Whoosh—
Accompanied by the sound of breaking air, the golden tentacles moved at an astonishing speed, making it difficult to track their movements.
Caught off guard, Ichiji was directly hit by one of the golden tentacles.
With a loud bang, Ichiji was sent flying back at an even faster speed, while the surrounding golden tentacles attacked him from all directions.
Seeing Ichiji being hit and about to be surrounded by the golden tentacles, Niji and Yonji did not react or attempt to help him. They continued with their attack plan towards Gild Tesoro.
As the perfect warriors of Germa 66, even if Ichiji were killed in front of them, their emotions would remain unaffected. Instead, they would seize the opportunity created by Ichiji's distraction to attack Tesoro.
Now, they were doing just that.
With many golden tentacles attracted to Ichiji, Niji, surrounded by blue sparks, easily dodged the tentacles coming at him and spiraled down towards Tesoro.
Yonji, dressed in green, was not as agile as Niji. Instead, he used his powerful fists to punch away the golden tentacles coming at him.
"Got him!"
Seeing Tesoro below, full of openings, Niji's mouth curled into a cruel smile.
Just as his fist was about to hit Tesoro, golden ripples surged from the ground beneath Tesoro, and golden pillars shot up, striking Niji like lightning.
Clang! Clang—
Niji, unable to react, was hit by the golden pillars before his cruel smile could fade. The golden pillars struck his battle suit, sparking.
The impact forcefully sent him flying.
Almost simultaneously, Ichiji was hit by several golden tentacles and trapped within them, while Yonji was tightly bound and squeezed by a large golden tentacle, producing creaking sounds audible from a distance.
The attack of the three Vinsmoke brothers was easily neutralized by Tesoro.
From start to finish, Tesoro did not move from his throne.
Looking at the easily defeated Germa warriors, Tesoro sneered.
Germa's greatest creations?
Too weak, so weak that he couldn't muster any interest in fighting seriously.
No, it wasn't that Germa was too weak.
It was that he was too strong.
