The murderous look in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Facing Sanji's oppressive gaze, only Bill, the fool, dared to take out a pen from his pocket and hand it to Sanji.

Sanji: "..."

Sanji couldn't help but wonder if this bastard was deliberately trying to piss him off to death so he could inherit his position as head chef.

Just when he couldn't bear it anymore and was truly planning to kill the guy with a knife, some teammates who couldn't stand the tension finally took action.

"Okay, okay, deputy captain, please stop talking."

"Brother Bill, I'm actually a fan of Sea Warrior as well. Let's go over there and chat."

Several people covered Bill's mouth with their hands and dragged him to the back of the team.

Turning around to look at Bill, who was dancing with joy and had not yet realized the severity of the situation, Luffy smiled unkindly.

"Hahaha, look, Sanji, you still have a group of loyal fans. But they'll probably be disappointed, even though the evil army Germa 66 does exist. However, the Sea Warrior Sora, who stands in opposition to them, is indeed fictional."

Luffy paused thoughtfully. "Hmm... if I must say, that doesn't seem entirely correct. I remember your mother..."

Hearing Luffy's teasing, Sanji's face turned so dark that ink seemed to be dripping from it. He angrily threw his cigarette butt to the ground and stomped it out. Gritting his teeth, he muttered a few words through clenched teeth.

"Ah~ My mother's name is Sora."

Hearing this, Bill, whose mouth was still covered, opened his eyes wide in shock.

One of the team members who had pulled him away—the one who had claimed to also be a fan of "Sea Warrior Sora"—stood there stunned, frozen in place.

Even many team members from the North Sea showed shocked expressions after hearing what Sanji said. Some of them seemed to have their minds completely broken as they sat dazed in the sun.

For these loyal comic fans, Sanji's few words were no less shocking than if Oda himself had announced that Blackbeard was Luffy's biological mother.

Their reactions made Sanji even angrier. He swore that after this trip, he would track down the bastard who created this comic. If he had the time, he would definitely go and kill that person.

North Sea, Mimir area.

Vinsmoke Judge, the king of the Germa Kingdom, had already established his own domain in this region in accordance with his prior agreement with Luffy.

The Germa Kingdom once had a glorious history. Hundreds of years ago, it ruled the entire North Sea through force. However, this dominion lasted only 66 days before being overthrown by a coalition of rebels.

This was also the origin of the name Germa 66.

After escaping from Germa's control, the rebels, fearing the kingdom's strength, joined forces to drive the Vinsmoke Family from their original lands. It wasn't until later that the Vinsmokes used the technology they had mastered to create snail ships capable of moving across the sea. The royal family of Germa finally escaped their dilemma of having no territory, and as a result, Germa became one of the few mobile kingdoms in the world.

Now, the ruler of the Germa Kingdom was Sanji's father—the modern patriarch of the Vinsmoke Family and supreme commander of the evil army Germa 66: Vinsmoke Judge.

Judge had been a scientist in his early years and had even belonged to the same research team as Vegapunk. When Vegapunk was arrested by the government and forced to join the Marine Science Corps, Judge managed to escape. He later improved on Vegapunk's research into the "Bloodline Factor," using it to create a large number of clones. This transformed the Germa Kingdom into a powerful military state composed almost entirely of absolutely loyal adult male soldiers.

Relying on these fearless clone troops, Germa 66 had become the largest and most powerful mercenary organization in the underground world, striking fear throughout the globe.

But even with all this power, Judge remained unsatisfied. He dreamed of restoring Germa to its ancestral glory—of the Vinsmoke family truly becoming the rulers of the North Sea once more.
