First half of the New World.

A certain sea area, Forgetful Island.

Ten huge War Machines were densely docked at the harbor.

The residents of Forgetful Island were all somewhat frightened and uneasy.

Facing the sudden arrival of an evil army, many times larger than before, these were just ordinary residents, and it was clear that no one was able to remain calm.

Two figures wearing battle suits, one blue, one green, walked over unhurriedly.

What was surprising was that the eyebrows of these two people were curled, similar to the pattern of "66".

"Your Excellencies, this is the Devil Fruit found a few days ago. Please accept it!" A small captain in black, wearing a combat uniform, respectfully presented a black box.

"So this is the Devil Fruit that guy Ichiji went to so much trouble to find... I didn't expect him to actually find it..."

With a hint of surprise and curiosity, Niji took the black box and opened it directly.

A solid purple, apple-shaped Devil Fruit with strange patterns all over it, seeming to radiate mysterious power, was quietly lying inside!

"What a strange thing. I wonder how that guy Ichiji knew it existed..." Yonji directly picked up the purple Devil Fruit and took a bite. Yonji giggled mischievously and said to Niji, "Hey... how about it, Niji, you eat it!"

"Brat, don't give me any silly ideas. Last time, that guy Ichiji called and said he got several decent Devil Fruits, and let us choose from them..."

Niji rolled his eyes at Yonji in annoyance, took the fruit, and personally carried it on his person: "Without his permission, if I touched this Devil Fruit, I'd probably be punished?"

"Didn't he say that guy is already a Devil Fruit ability user, and he can't eat a second one? What are you afraid of?"

"Then will you eat it?"

"This... forget it, ah haha..."

Yonji was speechless. He scratched his head and laughed heartily, trying to dispel the awkwardness.

According to that guy Ichiji's strictness, this Devil Fruit clearly had great use, and he definitely shouldn't mess with it.

"According to Father's wishes, he might be the true successor of Germa. We cannot possibly defy his orders..."

Seeing the Germa army which had been continuously searching Forgetful Island, returning to the War Machines one after another, it was clear they weren't planning to continue searching for Devil Fruits.

Apart from the residents of Forgetful Island sighing in relief, as if a heavy burden had been lifted, the CP intelligence personnel hidden on this island also secretly gathered together and began discussing.

"Combining these past few days, the Germa soldiers are clearly somewhat disguised and are still searching for some traces on the island, and the second son of the Vinsmoke family, 'Electric Blue' Vinsmoke Niji, and the fourth son, 'Wincha Green' Vinsmoke Yonji, personally came over. We speculate that Germa must have found that Devil Fruit. Are they planning to take action?" a CP intelligence officer asked in a low voice.

"At present, we don't know what kind of Devil Fruit it is, or what its value is, and the other party is also a World Government affiliated country. The Navy cannot openly launch attacks and sieges..."

"Germa's defenses are extremely strict. The War Machines are covered in surveillance, and it's impossible to infiltrate them with conventional methods..."

"Let's report this to higher-ups. This is not something we can decide!"

A tall man with bulging muscles, clearly the commander of this operation, said calmly.

In fact, he already had a conclusion in his heart. This matter was probably already over.

If only one or two War Machines had appeared, the World Government could still disguise themselves as pirates and attack the other party.

But with ten giant War Machines, plus Germa's considerable combat power, and being a scientific combat unit, it is estimated that to destroy them, they would need to dispatch a fleet equivalent to the scale of an Buster Call*, and even then, if Germa's War Machines are unwilling to fight and just want to escape, it would be difficult to stop them.

Before Germa was removed from the list of World Government affiliated countries, the top ranks of the World Government would absolutely not openly move against Germa for a single, as-yet-unidentified Devil Fruit, completely provoking this evil combat organization.

...

Just at this moment.

Far away in the first half of the Grand Line.

In the Calm Belt, Ichiji, who was currently taking Shiki around looking for targets, suddenly sensed a communication from Posedion.

On the floating War Machine.

"I didn't expect you would choose 'Little Garden' here as a temporary headquarters..."

Ichiji held a Den Den Mushi in his right hand, sitting casually on the bow, speaking with a hint of surprise in his tone.

At the same time, with some interest, he looked down at the sea surface in front of him. Two figures were tearing at each other in a bloody battle between colossal Sea Kings.

"Your Excellency, I didn't expect that there would be such two monsters inside 'Little Garden'..."

On the other side of the Den Den Mushi, Vander Decken IX was standing alone on a solid white, shining tall tower, looking out at the battle in the center of the island.

His words were not tinged with fear or worry.

"Bang!!" "Thump!!"

...

From the center of the island, sounds of splitting the ears could be heard. Two incomparably large figures were currently clashing!

The earth trembled because of them, and countless birds and beasts fled in panic!

The powerful air waves generated by each clash caused gigantic trees to sway violently, some even collapsing with groans.

"According to Miss All Sunday's investigation, these two giants seem to be the two ship captains of a giant pirate crew from a hundred years ago, who were each given a bounty of 100 million by the World Government: 'Blue Demon' Dorry and 'Red Demon' Brogy..."

Looking at the two giant figures in the distance, who were not necessarily fighting each other but were basically evenly matched, Vander Decken said somewhat helplessly: "If I were to conquer them, my current strength is obviously not enough to intimidate these two formerly famous giant warriors, but killing them directly would be a little regrettable..."

He was hinting to Ichiji how to handle these two giants.

Killing these giant warriors with low intelligence is not difficult, but wanting to subdue these two giants who were once famous and had great prestige as warriors of the giant race would be a bit troublesome.

Giants are stubborn-minded and rarely directly submit to force, even preferring death over surrender.

For these giant warriors, who are strong-muscled and love to fight, honor and dignity are more important than life!

How could these two captains of a giant pirate crew be easily subdued by him? He estimated that even if his Lord himself came over, it would be a little difficult to achieve.

Moreover, those two giants are clearly much larger than ordinary giants. At present, Law probably can't even read the "hearts" of the other party.

"It's very simple... no need to kill, and no need to forcefully subdue... The giant race is naturally straightforward. Even when facing strangers, their guard is very low. It's actually very easy to make friends with them. You just need to get along with them peacefully, not interfere with each other, and gradually close the distance between you. No need for any schemes. For example, just give these two some wine or something..."

Ichiji, sitting in a large chair, was communicating with Vander Decken.

"Your Excellency..."

His younger sister, Reiju, walked with small steps, looking relaxed.

Paying attention to Izabel, who was practicing Rokushiki* with great focus not far away, constantly kicking arcs of air, and Shiki, who was diligently training himself in various parts of his body, wanting to quickly master Armament Haki, Ichiji directly added: "With these two 'friends,' if you want to recruit some giants as subordinates in the future, it will be relatively easier. As for whether you will subdue them in the future... that's not urgent..."
