One Piece : Admiral Falcon is Pissed off again today!

By the time Michael and Cobra returned to the banquet hall, the crowd had noticeably grown.

They even spotted a few familiar faces.

For instance, King Riku from Dressrosa and the King of Prodence, who was so close to him they might as well share the same pants.

Then there was old lady Conney, acting ruler of the Sorbet Kingdom.

And Jinbei, who had come to offer congratulations on behalf of Neptune and Queen Otohime.

The other kings were completely unremarkable.

Since Oda hadn't bothered to depict them in detail in the original work, they probably weren't important anyway...

Just future targets for the Revolutionary Army's reckoning.

As the host, Cobra couldn't neglect the royalty who had traveled from various nations now that he'd arrived.

After nodding to Michael, he went off to socialize.

Michael merely nodded at Jinbei in return.

Seeing the latter respond with a naval salute, he then made his way back to Bellemere's table.

Only to find a woman now seated in his original spot.

Yet Michael showed no displeasure.

Instead, he practically fawned as he approached her.

"Heh, sis, what brings you here?"

"You should've told me earlier if you were to come—I would've gone to the port to welcome you!"

The woman was none other than Michael's sister in this life, the current queen of Germa—Sora.

Michael couldn't help but marvel at how different she seemed now that she'd built her own career.

No longer the frail figure lying in bed, her demeanor had sharpened considerably, now unmistakably that of a decisive queen.

Even Crocodile, seated beside her, seemed slightly overshadowed.

...

Though perhaps it was also the pressure of her identity as the elder sister of their leader that weighed on them.

"What are you doing here to greet me? Don't you have your own business to attend to?" Sora rolled her eyes and gestured to a nearby chair.

"Sit. I have something to ask you."

"Uh... I haven't been bullying my nephews lately, have I?" Michael looked puzzled but obediently took a seat.

"Even if I did, it'd definitely be that old bastard Garp picking on them... That old geezer's been getting on my nerves for ages, always targeting kids!"

"This isn't about the children. It's about the Germa Kingdom."

"Ahhh why are you asking me?, you're the queen of Germa Kingdom, my dear sister! I mean, having two voices pulling a nation in different directions isn't healthy."

Michael tried to brush it off, but such tactics were utterly ineffective against Sora.

"Enough whining. As my brother, you're now a member of the Germa royal family—don't even think about shirking your responsibilities!" Sora snorted coldly before sighing.

"After all, this matter determines the future of Germa Kingdom... I truly can't see the way forward alone."

Michael smacked his lips.

What to do?

His sister had laid it out like this—he couldn't keep playing dumb.

"Fine, tell me. What matter has you so torn?"

"The North Blue... is no longer a suitable place for Germa Kingdom to exist." Sora glanced at the Marines and the youngsters at the table, knowing they were all her brother's trusted aides, so she spoke without reservation.

"The former Germa 66 committed unforgivable crimes across the North Blue and even the other seas. Even though my foolish husband has paid with his life, the hatred in the hearts of those nations once oppressed by Germa 66 won't simply fade... So I've decided to relocate Germa Kingdom to the Grand Line and start anew."

Michael listened and nodded.

There really wasn't anything wrong with that.

Though it was Judge who had caused the trouble, the resentment toward Germa Kingdom wasn't unfounded.

So, for the sake of peace, Germa Kingdom disappearing from the North Blue was the best outcome.

As for entering the Grand Line, that wasn't an issue.

Germa Kingdom was composed of numerous Transponder Snail Ships, which could easily scatter and enter the Grand Line in smaller groups.

However, once in the Grand Line, the unpredictable climate would make maintaining a floating, mobile kingdom very hard.

Thus, the most crucial part of this plan was finding a place large enough for Germa Kingdom to truly begin anew.

"I think it's possible, but we should find a sizable uninhabited island to settle on."

Seeing Michael agree with the relocation, Sora nodded and immediately pulled out a Den Den Mushi.

"Ebony, issue the order now. The entire nation is to enter the Grand Line in an orderly manner and await further instructions at a safe location."

"Everything else will be decided after Michael and I return."

Michael looked at his sister, his lips twitching slightly.

After all this fuss, everything was already set in motion.

It seemed asking him was just for reassurance.

"What are you staring at? Do you have a problem with your sister's decision?"

Feeling Sora's gaze, Michael inexplicably shivered.

Could this be the legendary bloodline suppression?

"Ahem, of course I have no issues, but there's one thing I have to mention."

"Spit it out already!"

"Don't be so grumpy," Michael said with a playful grin. "The schools in Marineford have been on a long break these past few days. By now, the five little ones should be almost home..."

Watching Sora's expression freeze instantly, Michael's lips twitched again.

"Don't tell me you didn't inform the kids about the move..."

*****

"Uh, big sis, if my memory serves me right, we do have a home, don't we?"

A Transponder Snail Ship floated on the sea at this moment.

Sanji looked up at Reiju.

"It should... It should be here, right?"

"Could it be that we were too annoying at home and got abandoned by Mom?" Ichiji sighed.

"Huh!? That's so unfair of Mom!" Yonji shouted, startling Niji, who had been spacing out.

"If you keep shouting at me like this, I swear I'll beat you up again!"

Reiju gazed at the empty stretch of sea and finally sighed.

"How about we head back to the North Blue Marine branch and have them send us back to Marineford? At least Grandpa Sengoku still treats us like treasures there."

"Fine by me. Even though we fight with Ace and the others every day, it's still pretty fun... as long as Sanji stays out of the kitchen," Yonji chuckled.

"What did you say!? You damn moss-head!"

"Who are you calling a moss head you dumb curly-brow!?"

"You're a curly-brow too, you know!?"

As Sanji and Yonji bickered, a pirate ship leisurely sailed past.

"Hey, kids, are you lost?"

Standing at the bow was a young man with bright red hair and a straw hat.

He flashed them a radiant smile.
