Chapter 45: The Puppet King

Two months had passed since Jason set his sights on Germa 66. The time had finally come. Germa's floating kingdom loomed on the horizon, a fortress in the sky, its technology and army ready to crush any opposition. But Jason wasn't just any opposition. He was a storm, ready to take control of the Vinsmokes' kingdom with his overwhelming presence alone.

From the deck of his ship, Jason gazed at the massive structure, his golden eyes sharp with determination. Law stood beside him, the familiar glow of his Room at his fingertips. Bepo, now fully in control of his Tsuki Tsuki no Mi powers, was ready for anything, his fur bristling with anticipation. This was a different kind of mission. There would be no stealth or trickery, no sneaking into the heart of the kingdom. Jason had a far more direct approach in mind.

"Are you ready?" Jason asked, his voice calm but with a dangerous edge to it.

Law glanced at him, his usual calm demeanor in place. "You're just going to walk in there?"

Jason smirked, a confident gleam in his eye. "I'm not just going to walk in, Law. I'm going to make sure they know who's coming. When we get to Judge, that's when you'll step in."

Bepo shifted nervously, but there was excitement in his eyes. "What's the plan, Captain?"

Jason didn't answer directly. Instead, he exhaled deeply, allowing his Haki to swell within him, his presence expanding like a dark wave over the sea. The air around the ship crackled with energy, and even Law and Bepo felt the immense weight of his Conqueror's Haki radiating outward.

The ship grew silent as Jason's Haki washed over them, and soon, it surged forward like an unstoppable force toward Germa 66's kingdom.

The instant Jason's ship neared the outer perimeter of Germa 66, alarms began to blare within the floating fortress. Soldiers scrambled to their posts, preparing for an attack, but it was too late. Jason had already made his move.

A pulse of his Conqueror's Haki swept over the kingdom like a tidal wave, and within moments, soldiers began to collapse, their bodies crumpling under the sheer weight of Jason's overwhelming spirit. The weaker ones fell instantly, their eyes rolling back as they fainted, while even the stronger soldiers struggled to stay upright, their knees buckling under the pressure.

In the control room, Judge Vinsmoke watched the scene unfold on the monitors, his face twisted in confusion and anger. "What's going on?! Who dares—"

Before he could finish, the door to his chamber exploded inward, shattered by the force of Jason's presence alone. Jason strode into the room, his golden eyes gleaming with cold determination. Behind him, Law and Bepo entered silently, Law's hand already raised, Room glowing faintly at his fingertips.

Judge's eyes widened as he recognized the man before him. "You—"

Jason didn't give him a chance to speak. The sheer pressure of his Haki forced Judge to his knees, his body trembling under the immense weight. Jason approached him slowly, his every step deliberate, his aura suffocating.

"You thought you were untouchable, Judge," Jason said, his voice low and deadly. "You thought your technology and your army could protect you. But you were wrong."

Judge gritted his teeth, struggling to lift his head. "You… You think you can just waltz in here and take over? Germa 66 isn't something you can just steal!"

Jason's smirk widened. "I don't need to steal it. I'll take it by force."

With that, he nodded to Law, who stepped forward without hesitation. In an instant, Law activated his Room, and Judge's heart was pulled from his chest, encased in a glowing orb of energy. Judge gasped, his body freezing in place as Law held his heart in the palm of his hand.

Judge's eyes widened in shock and horror as he realized what had just happened. "W-What…?"

"You belong to me now," Jason said, his voice cold. "And so does Germa 66."

Judge's face twisted in rage and defiance, but he knew he had no choice. His heart, his very life, was now in the hands of these intruders. He clenched his fists, shaking with anger, but his voice was hollow when he spoke. "What do you want?"

Jason's eyes gleamed with victory. "You're going to lead Germa 66 as if nothing has changed. But from now on, every decision you make, every order you give, will be under my command. You will do exactly as I say, or Law will crush your heart."

Judge glared at him, his pride bruised and his fury barely contained, but he knew there was no escape. He was completely at their mercy.

"Fine," Judge spat, his voice thick with bitterness. "What do you want me to do?"

Jason stepped closer, his gaze cold and unyielding. "You will use Germa's technology and resources to serve my goals. Your army, your weapons, your scientists—all of it will be mine. You will continue to lead, but you will answer to me."

Judge's jaw clenched, his hands trembling with suppressed rage. "You think you can control everything I've built?"

Jason leaned in, his voice a low growl. "I already do."

Over the next few days, Jason's dominance over Germa 66 was absolute. With Judge's heart in Law's hands, the kingdom was completely under Jason's control. Judge continued to lead his forces as usual, but every order he gave, every decision he made, was dictated by Jason.

Germa's army, once an elite force known for their brutality and efficiency, now marched to Jason's tune. The scientists who once followed Judge's vision were now working to fulfill Jason's plans. Weapons, technology, and resources were all redirected toward strengthening Jason's crew and expanding his influence.

Jason wasted no time in positioning key members of his crew into strategic roles within Germa 66. He placed Law as an advisor to Judge, ensuring that no move was made without their knowledge. Bepo, now a formidable fighter with his lunar powers, took charge of training Germa's soldiers, pushing them to their limits and preparing them for the battles ahead.

Jason's presence within Germa 66 was felt in every corner of the kingdom. The soldiers respected him out of fear, knowing that he could bring them to their knees with a mere glance. The scientists, once loyal to Judge, now answered to Jason, their knowledge and inventions used to further his ambitions.

Judge, meanwhile, remained a puppet, his pride and authority shattered. He led his kingdom as before, but he knew that every step he took was watched, every word he spoke was dictated by Jason's will. And with his heart in Law's hands, he had no choice but to obey.

One evening, Jason stood on the deck of his ship, watching as Germa 66's floating kingdom sailed beside them. The once untouchable fortress, a symbol of technological power and military might, now floated in submission under his control.

Law approached him, his expression as calm and unreadable as ever. "Judge won't stay quiet forever. He'll try something eventually."

Jason smirked, his golden eyes gleaming with cold amusement. "I'm counting on it."

Bepo, standing nearby, looked up at Jason with a grin. "So what's next, Captain?"

Jason's smirk widened. "Next, we use Germa's resources to strengthen our forces. We've only just begun. There's a whole world out there waiting to be conquered."

With Germa 66 under his control, Jason knew that the future was his to shape. His empire was growing, and with each new victory, he inched closer to his ultimate goal. The world would soon know the name of Silvers D. Jason
