Tesoro looked at the approaching Germa war fortress, slowly restrained his smile, and with a wave of his hand, his awakened ability instantly mobilized a large amount of gold around him.
The game isn't over yet, after all, Germa still has the so-called monster bird Garuda, Judge, who hasn't been dealt with.
But it probably won't give him much fun, after all, how strong can a guy who was driven out by the North Sea countries without a fixed territory be?
If Judge was really powerful, he could have occupied a resource-rich island in the North Sea, instead of leading Germa 66 to wander around the North Sea.
Thinking of this, Tesoro suddenly lost interest, controlling a large amount of liquid gold, playing with it like teasing little snakes.
Just as Tesoro was about to deal with the three Germa brats, a pink figure suddenly broke through the sky, quickly breaking the golden tentacles that trapped Yonji, and casually using a finger to draw a trace of purple venom from the corner of her mouth, corroding the gold entangling Yonji.
As the gold was corroded, Yonji used his great strength to break free from the gold binding him and quickly distanced himself.
Soon, behind Reiju, the three brothers, Yonji, Niji, and Ichiji, barely stabilized their figures in mid-air.
Yonji frowned at his somewhat deformed right arm, then directly grabbed the joint with his left hand and forcefully twisted it. With a cracking sound, his right arm returned to normal, and he clenched his right hand.
The previous golden attack from Tesoro was blocked by their battle suits, reducing much of the damage.
Otherwise, even with their extraordinary physiques, being hit by Tesoro's attack would have left them severely injured if not dead.
"Don't be too reckless, that's an awakened ability, and anyone chosen by the World Government as a Shichibukai is a powerful monster."
Reiju raised her slender finger, gently wiping away the venom from the corner of her lips.
"…"
Facing Reiju's reminder, Yonji, Niji, and Ichiji remained silent.
Then, the jet shoes under their feet suddenly spouted flames, turning them into three different colored streams of light, quickly attacking Tesoro again.
Obviously, the mission target hadn't been resolved, so they wouldn't retreat.
Seeing this, Reiju frowned.
It was clear that her words hadn't been heeded by her three brothers.
Although Reiju was used to this, this time the enemy was very strong, not on the same level as the North Sea kingdoms Germa usually faced.
If Yonji and the others continued to be reckless, only death awaited them.
Among the five children of the Vinsmoke family, only Sanji was a normal person with full emotions. Although Reiju also had some emotions, compared to the emotionless Yonji, Niji, and Ichiji, and the fully emotional Sanji, she seemed more like a defective product.
This was why she always disguised herself as a child, not daring to reveal her abnormality, as the fate of defective products in Germa was already determined.
However, with Nicholas's words and Sanji's behavior, Reiju's burden was much lighter.
At least compared to the almost emotionless Yonji, Niji, and Ichiji, Reiju would worry about her brothers' safety as an elder sister, as her mother had asked her to take good care of them.
Watching Yonji, Niji, and Ichiji charge towards Tesoro, Reiju also activated her Germa technology shoes, flying through the air to catch up. After all, an extra person meant extra strength.
On the Germa war fortress, Judge glanced at Sanji, who was silently smoking.
"Reiju has gone. You should know that even with Reiju, they won't be a match for the Golden Emperor. Aren't you worried about Reiju's safety?"
Judge said, clearly understanding the relationships between his children. Sanji had no feelings for Yonji, Niji, and Ichiji, or even for him, but he cared deeply for Reiju due to their childhood experiences and Sora's influence.
Hearing Judge's words, Sanji, with his hands in his pockets, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
Then he turned his head and looked at Judge with indifferent eyes.
"I don't need you to tell me what to do. Don't think that just because you have the title of 'father,' you can boss me around."
Judge wasn't angry at Sanji's words; instead, he smiled because he knew that Germa's most perfect creation had decided to act.
…
On the Gran Tesoro.
Tesoro looked calmly at the regrouping Germa siblings.
His expression had become somewhat impatient compared to the beginning, as the buzzing of a few flies was inevitably annoying.
"Pointless struggle. Do you think turning from three little bugs into four can change the outcome? Boring."
Tesoro muttered to himself, then slowly raised his hand.
As he raised his hand, a large amount of liquid gold under his control suddenly condensed into a golden dragon with a diameter of over ten meters.
"Hmm?"
The three brothers, who had just regrouped and were about to launch another attack, looked at the golden dragon in front of Tesoro.
Although they didn't know the dragon's strength, a strong sense of crisis suddenly surged in their hearts.
Tesoro waved his hand downwards.
The fierce and domineering golden dragon roared and swooped towards Yonji, Niji, and Ichiji.
"Break it!"
The most hot-tempered Ichiji roared, not retreating but advancing, meeting the golden dragon head-on.
Yonji and Niji didn't retreat either, following closely behind.
Facing the charging Ichiji, the golden dragon suddenly stopped in mid-air, then swung its tail, hitting Ichiji like a baseball, sending him flying towards the distant sea like a meteor.
"Beautiful home run, Lord Tesoro."
Baccarat clapped and laughed beside him.
After Ichiji was sent flying, Yonji and Niji used their skills to fight the golden dragon.
But the dragon was too large for them to cause effective damage, and its strength and speed weren't weak either. In just three or four seconds, it had firmly suppressed them.
"You said… you wanted to make me stop smiling? And step on my head?"
Tesoro looked up at the struggling Yonji and Niji, his tone cold. "I don't have many taboos, but unfortunately, you've broken them all, so…"
"…"
Yonji and Niji, constantly fending off the dragon's attacks, had no time to respond to Tesoro, only staring at him.
"I told you not to be reckless…"
Reiju, who had caught up, frowned at the two being suppressed by the dragon.
"Die!"
As Tesoro's words fell, the dragon forced Yonji and Niji back, then suddenly opened its mouth.
Accompanied by the sound of machinery, high-temperature, high-density energy quickly formed and expanded within the dragon, its throat filled with surging energy.
On the bow of the Gran Tesoro.
Tesoro coldly watched the Germa warriors in the air, seemingly foreseeing their demise under the dragon's breath.
At this moment, he suddenly sensed a terrifying aura rushing from the direction of the Germa war fortress.
"Hmm?"
Tesoro's eyes narrowed slightly, looking towards the fortress.
There, a figure was rushing towards the Gran Tesoro like a meteor.
"Interesting."
Seeing the approaching figure and sensing its aura, Tesoro became somewhat interested.
Golden Divine Fire.
Tesoro smirked, and with a thought, the dragon's breath suddenly spewed out, attacking Reiju and the others.
