Germa Kingdom

A dark title splash shows Monkey D. Luffy in a straw hat and blue vest leaping from a tiger-striped creature through a jungle waterfall, arm outstretched. Beside him a woman with long dark hair in a pink fur-trimmed jacket smiles and waves. Smaller figures fall or swing in the background among vines and sunlight beams. Credits list cleaning, redrawing, and translation teams along with a notice about official volumes.

A vibrant color spread shows the Straw Hats enjoying a sunny pool party. Nami stands in a red floral bikini with water splashing over her, eyes closed. Luffy in a straw hat grins while reaching forward. Sanji lies on the deck looking up in surprise. Usopp, Franky, Brook, and Chopper appear amid splashing water, flamingos, and a large banner reading WHY JOIN THE NAVY WHEN YOU CAN BE A PIRATE. Text announces only 7 days until the Film Gold opening.

On Whole Cake Island the Straw Hats have realized they are being watched. A large sign reads CHAPTER 832: GERMA KINGDOM. In the forest below, living trees and flowers with faces chatter: THEY'VE NOTICED, THE STRAW HATS HAVE REALIZED..., WHOSE FOOD WILL THEY END UP ASI, MADAME BRÛLÉE IS HAVING SOME FUN WITH THEM RIGHT NOW., THAT SOMETHING'S UP!, BUT THEY'VE DEFINITELY NOTICED..., NO, NO THEY HAVEN'T., HAVE THEY NOTICED USI One tree remarks THEY WOULD MAKE QUITE A DELICIOUS SMOOTHIE. At the bottom two figures sprint away shouting RUN!! HURRY!!! with motion lines and sound effects ドドドド and ダダダ.

Carrot and Chopper race forward on a massive bird mount through the chaotic skies. Carrot shouts, "STILL RIGHT BEHIND US!!" Chopper glances back in alarm, yelling, "STILL COMINGI!" The pursuing crane rider from the Big Mom Pirates closes in with aggressive wing strikes. Carrot leaps ahead with powerful kicks, her strength astonishing the group. Chopper exclaims, "THAT RABBIT IS INCREDIBLY STRONG..." while urging, "LET'S GET THE HELL OUT OF THIS PLACE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE!!" Below, the bird mount strains under the speed. A female ally reacts with shock, "REALLYI!" Someone wonders aloud, "I WONDER IF IT'S A DEVIL FRUIT USER..." Carrot finishes firmly, "BUT DEFINITELY NOT A MINK!!" Impact lines and dust clouds emphasize their desperate flight.

The crane rider Randolph attacks from above with rapid strikes. SFX: BZZZZT!! Lightning-like energy crackles as the bird mount dodges. Carrot is knocked off balance, crying out, "CRAAA AAA!!!" The massive bird retaliates with a powerful counter. Chopper calls out, "CARROT, DON'T GET SEPARATED!!" Carrot steadies herself and replies, "I KNOW!!" A close-up shows her eyes flaring as she declares, "SEEI YOU'RE UNABLE TO EMIT 'ELECTRO'!!!" The pursuer glares menacingly. Motion lines and explosive impact effects fill the panels as the chase intensifies.

Randolph apologizes mockingly, "SORRY IN ADVANCE, MR. BIRD!" before slashing downward. Chopper and Carrot brace as the crane's blade strikes. SFX: CRAAA-AAANE!!! THUD BZZT BZZT BZZZZT. The bird mount reels from the hit. A sign identifies the attacker: BIG MOM PIRATES "CRANE RIDER" RANDOLPH. Carrot and Chopper tumble but hold on as the crane presses the assault with fierce wing and weapon strikes. The group fights to stay mounted amid the swirling chaos and debris.

A massive face looms with a furious roar, "HEEEEY!! IT'S YOU LOT AGAINNNN!!!" Carrot and Chopper react in panic. Carrot yells, "DODGE IT!!" while leaping. The giant bellows, "NOOOOO OOOOOO OOOOO!!!" Carrot spots their destination and shouts, "WE'RE ALMOST BACK TO WHERE LUFFY IS!!" Chopper agrees, "THIS GUY MAKES A GOOD LANDMARK!!" Below, the group presses onward. Carrot calls, "WE'RE HEADING BACK TO THE COAST!!" Someone yells, "LUFFY!!" and "GET OUTTA MY WAY!!" The giant continues raging, "THEY'RE STILL GOING AT IT!!" and "WHY YOUUUU!!" SFX: STAB BANG! The escape reaches a critical, high-speed climax.

Luffy stares in shock as the forest erupts with traps. "!I" A voice yells, "THIS FOREST IS FULL OF ALL KINDS OF SHADY TRAPS!!" Nami shouts urgently, "QUICK!! THERE'S NO TIME TO TALK RIGHT NOW!!" Luffy panics, "HUHI WHY ARE YOU GUYS..." Someone calls out, "GOT IT!!" The crew races along a path lined with candy and spikes. Nami points ahead, "IT'S THAT RIVER WITH THE TALKING CROC!!! ONCE WE GET PAST THAT BRIDGE, WE SHOULD BE RIGHT BY THE EXIT!!" They spot the crocodile in the water. Luffy yells, "WE'VE GOT SOMEONE RIGHT ON OUR HEELS AT THE MOMENT!! RUN TO THE EXIT AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!" The group dashes forward until Luffy suddenly stops and covers his mouth, "WAIT GUYS!! THAT'S NOT M..." A small figure flees from the crocodile as it snaps, "...NOPE, NOT A WORD!!!" Luffy reacts with alarm, "WHATI! DID YOU SAY SOMETHING, LUFFYI!"

Nami rides the reindeer form of Chopper while Luffy runs alongside. "I'M SO GLAD WE DECIDED TO LEAVE WHILE WE STILL KNOW OUR WAY OUT!! THE COAST SHOULD BE SHOWING UP ANY MINUTE NOW!!" Nami replies, "LET'S SAVE THE TALK FOR ONCE WE'VE MADE IT OUT, NAMI!!" Luffy suddenly looks back in panic, "WHERE'S SANJII!" A figure in the distance is chased by traps. The crew reacts with shock as a massive face emerges from the ground, its enormous hands rising. The giant face roars, "HOWWW IS THIS POSSIBLEI!" Luffy yells, "IT'S YOU LOT AGAIN!!" Nami screams, "WAH! WHAAAAAATI!" The giant face continues, "HEY, ANY OF YOU MIND PULLING OUT THIS THING THAT'S STABBING-"

The giant face glares at the crew. "I'VE BEEN HERE ALL ALONG~!" it says. Luffy protests, "...DON'T RAISE YOUR VOICE LIKE THAT BECAUSE IT FREAKS ME OUT!" The face continues, "YOU'RE THE ONES WHO KEEP RUNNING OFF AND THEN COME RUNNING BACK~" Nami insists, "BUT THEN WE END UP BACK IN FRONT OF THIS GUY!!!" Luffy adds, "I WAS CERTAIN WE WERE HEADING STRAIGHT BACK TO THE EXIT!!" They prepare to jump the river again. The face complains, "AND GET BACK TO THE COAST FOR SURE THIS TIME!! JUMP OVER THE CROC RIVER..." Chopper shouts, "ROGER!! CHOPPER, WE'RE DOING THIS AGAIN! TO THE EXIT!!" The giant face looms larger, "IT'S TRUE THAT THE LOG POSE IS STILL MESSED UP... HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP COMING BACK HEREI!" It lets out a loud "YAWN" as the crew flees in terror, "YOWWW, YOU SCARED ME~! EEEE EEEE EEK!!"

Nami stares in disbelief as the forest itself comes alive. Trees and flowers shift and speak. "WHAT IN THE WORLDI! WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THIS CREEPY FORESTI! EXPLAIN YOURSELVESI!" The ground moves and talks. A small creature yelps, "YIKES..." Nami realizes, "THE GROUND MOVED AND TALKED!!" The crew stands before the giant face and moving trees. "HUHHHHI! THE TREES AND FLOWERS ARE MOVING!!" Nami cries out, "NAMI, THAT THING ISN'T THE REAL LUFFY!!!" A dark figure with a wide grin appears, "HUHI! WAIT, WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO YOU ALL OF A SUDDEN LUFFYI!" The figure declares, "HAVE YOU FINALLY REALIZED HOW SCARY THE WOODS CAN BE, DARLINGI" Nami demands, "WHO ARE YOUI!" The figure answers, "RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 'SEDUCING WOODS'... SO THERE WAS NO CORRECT 'PATH' TO BEGIN WITH....!"

A massive, grotesque tree-like figure with a woman's face looms over the woods, its long hair and bark-like skin twisting as it speaks. "I'VE BEEN RIGHT NEXT TO YOU THIS WHOLE TIME! NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU RUN, YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO ESCAPE THESE WOODS!!" it declares with a wide, toothy grin. The captive girl struggles in its grasp, shouting "LET GO!!" The monstrous face laughs "UHIHIH-UHIHIH" and taunts, "NOW NOW DARLING, QUIT STRUGGLING. TAKE A LOOK AT THE SCAR ON MY FACE... ISN'T IT JUST TERRIBLEI" The girl yells back, "NO, BITCH!!! THE NAME'S BRÛLÉE. WHO ARE YOUI! A TREEI!!" A smaller panel shows the creature's eye close-up as it admits, "JUST SPLENDID... THE THING IS, WHENEVER I SEE SUCH FLAWLESS, ALLURING FACES... I'M OVERCOME WITH THE URGE TO SLICE THEM UP!!!" The girl screams "EEEE EEK!!!" A caption identifies the figure: "8TH DAUGHTER OF THE CHARLOTTE FAMILY CHARLOTTE BRÛLÉE".

The scene shifts to a massive cake-shaped castle labeled "BIG MOM'S CASTLE, 'WHOLE CAKE CHATEAU'". Narration notes the "KO" in "APRICOKKO" uses the character for "lake." A Germa 66 ship sails past the port as text explains, "AS WELL AS CREWS THAT ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BECOMING SO... BIG MOM'S SUBORDINATE CREWS... ARE ALL GRANTED ACCESS TO THIS PORT." The ship flies a massive "66" flag and is identified as a Germa vessel: "IT'S A GERMA SHIP!! YOU MAY PASS THROUGH." Dockworkers shout orders: "KEEP GOING!", "ALL CLEAR!", "KEEP GOING!", "BACK UP!" while the ship maneuvers into the harbor lined with barrels and cranes.

A dramatic full-page spread reveals a towering, mobile castle on massive tank-like treads sailing across the sea, flying the Germa 66 flag. Text boxes explain: "THIS IS A COUNTRY RULED BY THE VINSMOKES, A FAMILY RENOWNED FOR SEIZING CONTROL OVER THE ENTIRETY OF NORTH BLUE IN THE YEARS PAST." "THIS... IS THE PLACE KNOWN AS 'GERMA KINGDOM'." Further narration states, "AND WHEN THEY ALL COME BACK TOGETHER, THAT IS WHEN THEIR COUNTRY IS WHOLLY FORMED ONCE MORE." "ITS DOZENS OF SHIPS SAIL ACROSS THE SEAS..." "'GERMA' REFERS TO THE ONLY OCEAN-GOING KINGDOM THAT EXISTS IN THE WORLD AND ONE THAT RULES OVER NO STABLE LAND." Sanji is shown in profile, smoking and looking toward the kingdom with a serious expression. Additional panels note, "THE VAST MAJORITY OF ITS CITIZENS ARE MALE SOLDIERS... WHICH IS FEARED ACROSS THE WORLD EVEN TO THIS DAY." "WITH A POWERFUL ARMY KNOWN AS THE 'GERMA 66'..."

Inside a stone room, Sanji confronts his sister Reiju. Reiju lounges in a large chair, legs crossed, smirking as she says, "IT'S BEEN 13 YEARS SINCE YOU GOT TO SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR OLDER SISTER... ALWAYS GIVING ME THE COLD SHOULDER..." Sanji snaps back angrily, "I MADE IT CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT I WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF YOU!! WE'RE NO LONGER FAMILY! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO REPEAT MYSELFI!" Reiju continues, "OUR FATHER'S DREAM IS FOR GERMA TO RULE OVER THE ENTIRETY OF THE NORTHERN SEAS ONCE MORE." Sanji stands before a large framed photo of the Vinsmoke family, including a young Reiju and their father in royal attire with the number "66". Reiju adds, "NOTHING'S WRONG WITH A MAN BRANDISHING HIS FAME AND POWER!" and "ONLY A LUNATIC WOULD WANT TO BE PART OF A FAMILY WITH BAD ENOUGH TASTE TO PUT UP A PICTURE LIKE THIS AS INTERIOR DECORATION!!!" A caption notes the photo was "TAKEN IN NORTH BLUE DURING THE INFAMOUS INCIDENT KNOWN AS THE 'FOUR NATION COUP'."

A woman with a tiara smiles at Sanji and says, "WE WILL DO AS YOUR HEART DESIRES, PRINCE SANJI. IT'S ALL POSSIBLE BECAUSE YOU ARE ROYALTY." Maids line up in the grand hall as another voice continues, "LOOK HERE! THESE 10 MAIDS WOULD BE AT YOUR BECK AND CALL. INSTEAD YOU CHOOSE TO GALLAVANT ALONGSIDE SOME PUNY PIRATE CREW WHILE LEADING A MUNDANE LIFE. YOU COULD BE HERE... TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE OF YOUR ROYAL BLOOD..." The speaker adds, "THE VINSMOKES HAVE OBTAINED SO MUCH OVER THE GENERATIONS BECAUSE OF BRUTE STRENGTH... AND YOU TOO ARE A BLOOD MEMBER OF THIS FAMILY! YOU HAVE SOLDIERS WHO WOULD LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES FOR YOU... AND MONEY WILL NEVER BE A PROBLEM HERE. WHAT COULD YOU POSSIBLY HAVE TO COMPLAIN ABOUTI" Sanji, seated and smoking, snaps, "QUIT THE SALES PITCH... I'VE GOT NO INTENTION OF MARRYING THAT GIRL!" He stands and walks away as a voice calls, "COMMANDER, WHERE ARE YOU HEADING OFF TOI!" and another asks, "FATHER, TO WHAT DO WE OWE THE PLEASUREI" Sanji mutters, "THE ROOM SANJI IS IN."

A towering armored figure looms over Sanji. The massive man in a black uniform with "66" markings and a flowing cape glares down, his face twisted in rage. A text box identifies him: "KING OF GERMA KINGDOM (COMMANDER OF THE GERMA 66) VINSMOKE JAJJI* *T/N: ALSO READ AS JUDGE". The man roars, "YOU ENJOY BEING A HUGE PAIN IN MY ASSI!" Sanji looks up with a scowl and growls, "BAS-TARD..."

Vinsmoke Judge towers in fury, shouting, "SON, I..." Sanji retorts from below, "IT SURE AS HELL WOULDN'T BE YOU!!!" Judge snaps, "QUIT CALLING ME THAT!" while maids watch in shock. Judge continues, "EVEN IF I WERE TO ADMIT THAT I HAVE A PARENT..." Sanji replies coldly, "THEN I SUPPOSE MINE JUST HAPPENS TO BE MORE SO..." Judge's masked face appears close, asking, "DID YOU DO SOMETHING TO YONJII I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THAT BOY'S STRENGTH IS QUITE FORMIDABLE." The king declares, "MEN CAN ONLY SPEAK TO ONE ANOTHER CLEARLY USING THEIR FISTS. LET'S TAKE THIS OUTSIDE..." Sanji stares back in shock as the narration box reads, "SANJI VS 'FATHER'I! A FAMILY REUNION THE VINSMOKE WAY!!!"
