Morning Mist Over the North Blue
The mist clung to the cold, rocky shores of the North Blue, shrouding the jagged cliffs and ominous fortresses in a ghostly veil. Rumors of a sinister army—the infamous Germa 66—had reached Vegito's ears. Their cold efficiency and the cruelty of the Vinsmoke family posed a threat not just to North Blue but potentially to the entire world.
The Heaven's Embrace sliced through the waves with effortless grace, its winged hull glinting faintly in the morning sun.
POV: Vegito
"Germa 66. Heard plenty about these genetically enhanced freaks and their twisted 'science.' They mess with my crew, I mess with their entire army." Vegito smirked, cracking his knuckles.
He looked at his growing family on deck: Nami leaning on Bell-mère, Kuina sharpening her blade, and the rest preparing for battle.
The First Contact — Germa's Vanguard
As they neared the Germa fortress, robotic soldiers flooded the shore, their mechanical limbs clicking and whirring. The sky darkened with the ominous shadows of the Vinsmoke family's elite warriors descending in hover crafts.
Reiju, the pink-haired Vinsmoke princess, stood apart from the soldiers, her cold eyes betraying doubt and pain.
Battle Erupts — Speed and Power Unleashed
Vegito launched into battle with a casual grin.
"Come on, clankers. Show me what you've got."
In an instant, his movements blurred—his tail flicking, punches and kicks faster than the eye could track. Each strike sent enemy soldiers flying like ragdolls, limbs turning to mist with barely a touch.
Nami and Kuina fought at his side, their skills sharpened by trust and necessity.
Reiju's Inner Conflict
Watching the destruction unfold, Reiju's heart clenched.
"This… this isn't the life I want. My family's cruelty suffocates me, but can I really leave them behind?"
Vegito's eyes met hers across the battlefield.
"Hey, pink-haired princess! Tired of the family reunion?" he called out with a cocky grin.
Reiju hesitated, then slowly lowered her weapon.
Parley and Liberation
Vegito approached her as the dust settled.
"Your family's got a nasty habit of making enemies. Join me instead. I'll keep you safe and respect you as part of the crew."
Reiju's defenses cracked.
"Protect me? Respect me? You really are different from them."

With a soft laugh, Reiju nodded.
"Alright, Vegito. I'm in."
The crew welcomed her with cheers and teasing laughter, Nami immediately sizing her up with playful rivalry.
The Feast — Celebrating Freedom
That evening, the Heaven's Embrace transformed into a floating party palace. Reiju was the center of attention, regaling stories of her twisted family while Vegito's laughter echoed louder than the music.

"Next stop, Baratie. Let's see what kind of feast and fun awaits us."
