One Piece : Winged Dragons of the Beast Pirates

"Is it really Germa?"

Doflamingo stood beside Ian, his tone slightly serious. "Ian, have you ever heard of the legend of the Vinsmoke family?"

In the North Blue, the names Germa and Vinsmoke were enough to make even the most restless child quiet down.

The Germa Kingdom had briefly unified the entire North Blue, and the Vinsmoke family, who ruled Germa, had become the royalty of the North Blue.

Although Germa's rule over the North Blue was short-lived and the vast North Blue Kingdom quickly fell apart due to World Government interference, resulting in Germa losing even its territory and becoming a wandering kingdom at sea, that did not mean Germa had faded into obscurity.

Not to mention, the current head of the Vinsmoke family, Vinsmoke Judge, had once returned to the North Blue and chopped off the heads of four kings in a single stroke, causing a horrific massacre known as the "Four Kingdoms Massacre."

"Though the Germa Kingdom is now in decline, they are still known as war experts in the North Blue. They gain wealth by taking on mercenary contracts and participating in wars," Doflamingo explained with a chuckle. "Hehehe, it's likely they were hired by this country to suppress the rebellion. What a coincidence."

"Vinsmoke Judge." 

Ian laughed lightly. "He was once a member of the MADS research organization led by Vegapunk, and he was a colleague of Uncle Queen."

It wasn't just being colleagues. Uncle Queen had a lot of disdain for Judge, much like Judge's feelings toward Vegapunk.

"MADS?"

Doflamingo thought for a moment, but he didn't recall anything.

However, he certainly knew who Queen was.

A high-ranking member of the Beasts Pirates.

"Is he friends with Vinsmoke Judge?" Doflamingo naturally misunderstood.

He then said, "Hehehe, is that so? If they're friends, then there's no need to fight. Shall we go greet them?"

"Friends?"

Ian couldn't help but laugh.

If he put Judge in front of Uncle Queen, Judge would probably wish to peel his skin off.

Among peers, that's the rawest form of hatred.

Ian thought for a moment. "But you're right. It is indeed polite to say hello."

Judge's two proudest achievements were his bloodline factor modification technology, which Ian wouldn't be using, but the battle suit was still quite useful.

Hmm, though, it doesn't seem all that necessary for him.

However, it would definitely be useful for Yamato, Jack, and the others. It's basically like a second type of Devil Fruit ability.

"But before that..."

Ian looked down at the battlefield, where a few colorful little brats were causing a ruckus. 

"Interested in seeing the Vinsmoke technology?"

"Also..."

He turned around.

The white-haired girl was now staring at him eagerly.

"Go have some fun."

"Yay!"

The girl, who had been impatiently waiting, cheered and shot up like a cannonball, then instantly plummeted down towards the ground.

"Namuji Hyoga!!"

The now pure white spiked club crashed down with a deafening roar, smashing the ground into a massive crater, white mist billowing everywhere. Everyone touched by the mist was instantly frozen into ice statues.

"What?"

The green-haired brat noticed the falling Yamato. "Who's that?"

"Another modified person?"

The fiery red-haired brat's eyes lit up. "Is she using ice? Then I'll take care of her!"

He was a fire user.

"Hahaha!"

Yamato surveyed the surroundings as the Vinsmoke family soldiers fearlessly closed in on her. With a swing of her spiked club, she casually flicked it.

"Phantom Blade."

The white mist spread out in a circular slash, instantly sweeping across the battlefield. Numerous Germa soldiers were swallowed by the mist.

When the mist cleared, the surroundings were filled with frozen ice statues.

"Oh!" 

Doflamingo couldn't help but exclaim.

It wasn't an exaggerated reaction, but the fact that this ghostly princess hadn't even used her abilities yet—how was she freezing everything?

"Spark Revolver!"

At that moment, the red-haired child rushed towards Yamato, intending to burn the woman with a fiery punch!

But—

A shadow fell from the sky, casually catching his fist.

"What?"

The red-haired brat, the eldest son of the Vinsmoke family, six-year-old Vinsmoke Ichiji, stood there in disbelief.

This black-haired bastard had actually grabbed his flaming fist with his bare hand!

"Is this also fire?!"

Ian, his hands wrapped in Haki, remarked sharply, "Honestly, it's not that hot."

"Heh heh heh, of course you shouldn't compare yourself to him, Ian."

Doflamingo chuckled as he descended.

"Dammit!"

Ichiji shouted in anger, jumping into the air to deliver a whip kick.

Ian simply released his right hand and then gently tapped with his index finger.

"Finger Pistol!"

Ichiji's right leg twitched as if electrocuted, then was immediately sent flying away.

"Oh?"

Doflamingo raised an eyebrow.

That battle suit, which seemed soft, was incredibly tough.

With his keen eye, Doflamingo could tell that Ian's casual strike was more powerful than a firearm, but it couldn't even shake the battle suit.

"Impressive, right? Vinsmoke's technology."

Ian muttered.

But, had Germa already developed battle suits at this point?

"Double Spark Spin!"

Ichiji was greatly annoyed by the mockery, his hands erupting in flames as he charged at Ian again.

What greeted him was a single finger.

Ian's index finger pressed against the boy's forehead.

"Ugh!"

Ichiji's eyes instantly rolled back, and his forehead caved in under Ian's touch. He was sent flying like a projectile, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Ichiji!"

Not far away, the pink-haired girl, the eldest daughter of the Vinsmoke family, Vinsmoke Reiju, cried out in shock. Who was this person?
