Germa 66

Chapter 60: Germa 66

A blazing fireball surged with intense heat, knocking the young man named Yonji off the pirate ship, and he fell into the sea.

The woman with pink hair remained unconcerned, simply looking at the person who had just attacked and locking eyes with Rodney.

"These eyes, this face... Are you Rodney, the newly appointed Shichibukai, pirate hunter?" she asked.

Rodney tilted his head and asked, "Germa 66? Hey, beautiful, have we met somewhere before?"

Germa 66 was a powerful military organization from the North Sea, also known as the Warmongers. Led by the Vinsmoke family, they served as mercenaries active all over the world, without a fixed territory. They possessed giant snails capable of crossing the Red Line and had formidable combat strength and advanced technology.

The current leader of the Vinsmoke family, Vinsmoke Judge, had once worked with the world's greatest scientist, Dr. Vegapunk, and discovered the "Lineage Factor."

After the experiment was halted by the World Government, Vegapunk was taken away, but Vinsmoke Judge returned to his kingdom with the research data and used it on his own children, turning all his children except Sanji into powerful modified individuals.

They also cloned and modified soldiers, creating a fearsome new Germa 66 army that struck terror into nations around the world. These soldiers were fearless, absolutely obedient, highly skilled in warfare, and easily replaceable, making them highly convenient.

"What a cliché pick-up line, Mr. Rodney. But Yonji, that idiot, won't be easily defeated." Reiju said expressionlessly.

"Yonji? The name sounds like the fourth son. I know a curly-browed, blond-haired chef. I wonder if there's any relation between you two?" Rodney inquired.

Reiju's hand trembled slightly, and she felt a mix of panic and anticipation. Sanji was the only brother she cared about, the one who had always been gentle and called her "big sister" since they were children. Rodney's words shattered her long-held composure in that instant.

"Oh, so you're related?" Rodney's smile widened with delight. "That blond-haired chef named Sanji is doing well, adopted by a chef and running a restaurant in East Blue. He's not only the head chef but also the best cook there."

"Thank you," Reiju said. "You should leave now; being entangled with that idiot Yonji won't end well, and this is our Germa 66 mission."

Hearing that her brother was doing well, Reiju smiled contentedly and kindly reminded Rodney.

"Sorry, but I'm quite interested in the person you have there." 

Rodney propped up his chin, squatting on the ship's rail. A figure emerged from the sea, and Yonji, wearing the green Germa combat suit, soared upward using jet propulsion. 

He activated the jet devices on his shoes and the levitation unit simultaneously, hovering in the air while shouting angrily, "You dare to attack me? I'll kill you!"

"Yonji, wait!"

Rodney intended to stop Yonji, but he realized the latter had already charged up. However, Rodney easily captured and evaded Yonji's attacks.

"Robin!"

"I understand! Seis Fleur!"

Six arms sprouted from Yonji's body, immobilizing his arms and neck. Although Yonji excelled in strength as the "Winch Green," the Seis Fleur only momentarily restricted his movements, but it provided Rodney's main body with an opportunity. He jumped from the ship and acted in sync with his clone.

"Fishman Karate: Thousand Tile True Punch!"

Two fists hit Yonji's body, sending him plunging into the sea once again.

This move didn't inflict much damage on Yonji, as his body was a scientific masterpiece of Germa 66, possessing steel-like skin and a combat suit with shape-memory armor, which greatly reduced the impact.

But it bought some time.

"So, are you intending to be enemies with Germa? Even if you tell me about him, I won't hold back. Father's orders must be followed," Reiju's cloak, resembling butterfly wings, opened up behind her, showing yellow spots that appeared on it with faint purple powder surrounding her.

"Oh, I thought you'd be different from that idiot brother, but I see you're still a good girl, unlike Sanji, the perverted cook," Rodney grinned. 

"You're still that little girl who wouldn't dare defy father's orders, no matter how great your figure is, you won't ever grow up!" Reiju couldn't disobey her father's orders due to the modifications, making her live like a puppet or a tool.

"That's right," the same laughter echoed from behind Reiju. Startled, she felt a hand on her back and heard a low voice in her ear, "Water Release·Water Prison Technique!" With those words, Reiju found herself encased in a ball of water and choked, gasping for air.

The Water Body seized the unconscious Wesker, tossed him to Rodney, who then passed him down to Robin. Rodney was intrigued by this man, who seemed like a scientist hunted down by the Vinsmoke family, hoping to discover something valuable.

"Then, goodbye." The figure leaped back and descended into the water.

The water in the water prison suddenly turned purple, and a purple water arrow pierced through the water prison, impaling the water body's chest and causing it to shatter.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Spit-take out the water in his mouth, Yonji flew over at this time, his whole body wet with water, but his green hair was unaffected, as if he hadn't been soaked at all.

He arrived next to Reiju and mocked, "Reiju, you really are useless." There was no trace of respect in his tone when addressing his sister.

Reiju was aware of this fact herself, and she snorted, saying, "Hurry up and go, we still need Wesker in our hands to control Germa's secrets."

"I know, I know, stop nagging!" 

Yonji's fists collided with each other, creating a powerful clash sound, and he said, "That guy just made me angry, let me kill him. Shichibukai are nothing in front of Germa 66; they are just ordinary chickens and dogs!"

"Don't underestimate him; he managed to kill Crocodile." Her body's whip-like leg lashed out at Yonji fiercely, sending him flying toward Rodney and the others.

"Captain, what do we do with this person?" Robin asked, not fully understanding what had just happened.

"I feel like there's something to gain, and also, Robin-chan, we have attracted Germa 66's attention."

"Germa 66? Aren't they from North Blue? And do they even exist?" Robin was well-read and knew a little about Germa 66, but her knowledge was limited to just the existence of this organization; she didn't know who its members were or who led it.

After all, Germa 66 had a broader presence in the manga than in written records.

"Yes, they've caught up with us." Rodney sneered, leaping towards the incoming Yonji. He instantly created multiple shadow clones.

"Then... Transformation Technique..."

"What?" Yonji was surprised when he saw so many Rodneys, unsure of what to expect.

In the next moment, he heard several "thump, thump, thump" sounds, and before him stood several alluring and naked big sisters.

"This... What is this..."

Yonji's eyes turned into hearts, and even his movements came to a halt. The big sisters transformed into smoke and dispersed, and in their place, powerful punches thundered down on Yonji's face.

Thud! 

Yonji fell into the water once again.

"Looks like you Vinsmoke family members are all perverts," Rodney returned to the ship, and Robin regarded him with a look as if she had seen non-recyclable trash. 

"Captain, your interests are indeed unique. Can you not say that you know me from now on? I feel embarrassed to be associated with you."

"Oh? This is just a tactic to lure the enemy!" Rodney protested.

"Really? You're still a pervert," Robin chuckled.

"Don't defame me with such a calm tone!"

"Hehe."

"That idiot, Yonji." Reiju couldn't help but touch her forehead. Despite losing much of their desires due to the modifications, why did her foolish brothers still have such desires?

Her jet propulsion boots emitted a wave of air, allowing her to fly at high speeds without using Moonwalk, and she chased after Rodney.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

"Fire Release: Fire Flowing Wave!"

"Lightning Style: Raging Thunder!"

Flames mixed with thunder rushed towards her, and Reiju was forced to retreat in the face of the formidable attack. Just then, Yonji emerged from the sea.

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!" Another huge wave struck him, submerging him again in the water.

Yonji: "..."
