Chapter 304: Give us Sanji back
"I-Is…is Big Mom dead?..." Franky kept staring at the sinking ship with wide eyes.
"That can't be, right?" Nami could not imagine that monstrous woman dying.
The Vinsmoke were also looking in shock from their own ship.
"I told you she was truly dangerous, father!" Reiju shouted at him.
"Shut up!..." Her father looked back at the water, waiting to see Big Mom emerge from the water at any moment.
"Vivi, that was amazing!. My water Goddess is the best!" Sanji cheered.
Vivi canceled her awakening and recovered her normal form.
"Huff…" She felt a headache incoming.
"Vivi, how are you feeling?" Nami asked.
"I had worse…I'll be fine with a bit of rest. But we should gain some distance…Big Mom is not dead."
"What? how can she survive falling into the sea?. Isn't she a devil fruit user?" Zoro asked.
"That woman is a monster in every sense of the word…the normal rules do not apply to her. She is THAT powerful. Now…Franky, get us out of here. I won't be able to pull that stunt for a few more hours at least."
"Right! We can do one more burst, that should get us a mile or two." Franky said.
"No bursts, not yet. Keep us close to the Germa ship. We still have to get Sanji back." Vivi turned to Nami.
"Can you give them a heads up? tell them to increase the pace as much as they can."
Nami nodded."Leave it to me!"
<><><><><><><><><>
Vinsmoke Judge gave the inmediat order after getting Namis message. He was already suspicious that the Empress was alive. This was their best chance to get away from her.
But even after navigating for over two hours, the Strawhat ship did not allow them to gain distance from them.
"What do those pirates want?!. Why are they still following us?" Ichiji looked very nervous.
"You know what they want! him!" Niji pointed at Sanji.
"Tsk!, you brat!." Judged stared at Sanji.
"You do nothing but bring troubles to your own family! Go talk to those pirate friends of yours and fix this!" He commanded.
Sanji shrugged.
"If that's what you want, I'll go talk to them. Bu-"
"Sir!, we have two intruders!" Several men erupted into the room.
"What?!, who is invading us?!" Yonki asked, earning a good smack from his father.
"Did your brain stop working?!, who else but those pirates!" Judge shouted.
"Sir, they are coming this w-...ahhh!" A German soldier flew through the air and landed close to the Vinsmoke family.
"We came to parlay!" Vivi shouted as she entered the room.
"Vivi, they are not pirates." Nami corrected her.
"Right…then we just came to negotiate," Vivi said.
A small squad of Germa soldiers stood in their way.
"Dont take a step further!, otherwise-"
Vivi sent them all away with a blast of water.
"Now…as I was saying…we came to negotiate." She said while looking at Sanji's father.
"We have nothing to talk with you lot!. Stop following us!" Judge commanded, but Vivi could tell there was a hint of fear in his voice. He has seen what she could do.
"We want Sanji back, that's all." Said Nami.
"Girls…" Sanji looked at them.
"I'm sorry but…"
"Stop…" Vivi told him.
"We know about the threats they made you."
"You know?...then why did you come here?. I can put Zeff and the others in danger." Sanji asked.
"That's why I said that we came to negotiate."
"We will not negotiate with pirates!" Said Ichiji.
"That's right!" Niji added.
Vivi gave them a cold look that made them freeze…then, she disappeared from her spot.
She moved too fast for them to react and she was already behind the duo.
Her hands turned into a mass of water that wrapped around their necks before compressing into ice shackles.
"Ugg!" Ichiji and Niji started to suffocate due to the pressure on their throats.
"Let them go!" Judge screams with rage.
"I did not come here to talk with you two…" Vivi told them.
"Two can play that game!" Yonji had a brilliant idea when he realized that Nami had been left alone. He just has to use her as a hostage to release his brothers.
He moved as fast as he could and charged at Nami.
"Stop!" Sanji tried to get in the way but was a bit too slow.
However, Yonji had made a big mistake when he thought that Nami had been left without defense.
Vivi was not great for plans, but she would never have brought Nami here unless she was one hundred percent confident she was safe.
"Noo!" Judge realized something that his son missed.
On Nami's body were several pieces of jewelry, they were not made of any metal, but of some crystalline material…her ice.
Ice spikes sprouted from the Namis bracelets and necklace, piercing Yonji's body and sending him tumbling back, bleeding from several spots. His armor was not enough to protect him from this.
"Yonji!" His father shouted.
"Ahhh!" Nijishi and Niji started to scream.
"Let them go!" Judge ran to Vivi and tried to attack her, but the moment he did so, she placed his sons in front.
"Go ahead… attack me. You can go through them if you want."
"Please, let my brothers go. I know they are idiots, but…" Reiju said.
"We can negotiate, you want Sanji right? just take him!" Judge offered.
"No…that won't be enough I'm afraid." Said Vivi.
"You forced our crewmate here with threats and coercion…you threatened him with killing those he actually considers a family. I believed for a moment that maybe we could talk this out and make some sort of deal. But after seeing you in person…I changed my mind, you are not trustworthy enough."
Vivi released Ichiji and Niji and threw them to the floor.
They were still alive but barely.
Judge ran to his sons and checked on them before looking at Vivi with pure fury in his eyes.
"You will pay for this! The Germa66 is not to be messed with!"
"This is not going to end well for them…" Nami lamented.
"What is she intending to do?" Sanji stood at Nami's side and asked.
"A point…" She answered.
