Super Card System

How could the Vinsmoke family, who had just arrived on the island, not notice the sudden outbreak of battle?

After landing and unloading the gifts meant for Big Mom from their ship, they saw the towering black flames shooting into the sky.

They immediately understood what was happening—Ian, that audacious fool, for some unknown reason, had actually started a fight on Cake Island!

If it had been just Ian alone, Judge and his family might have been content to sit back and watch the show, waiting to see Ian get taught a lesson by Big Mom.

But then Judge remembered what he had seen through his telescope earlier—his daughter Reiju was with Ian. This thought made Judge grit his teeth in frustration. Without wasting a moment, he called for Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji to rush over as quickly as possible.

Damn it! If you want to provoke Big Mom, that’s your problem, but don’t drag my daughter into it!

Judge was in a panic. Although he wasn’t exactly the model of a good father, he had always harbored a deep affection for Reiju, who reminded him so much of his late wife, even if he rarely showed it.

His urgency was twofold: he was worried about his daughter, Reiju, and also concerned that her involvement might jeopardize the potential alliance between the Big Mom Pirates and the Vinsmoke family.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the castle, he saw Reiju floating in mid-air, wearing her battle suit.

What shocked him even more was Ian, that damn brat, looking like he was ready to go head-to-head with Big Mom, which made Judge’s heart tremble with fear.

So, he couldn’t hold back any longer and immediately stepped forward, shouting for everyone to stop.

Judge had no idea whether his intervention would actually help, but if Ian were to make a move, the consequences would be unimaginable.

However, what Judge didn’t realize was that the moment the Vinsmoke family appeared, both Big Mom and Katakuri’s eyes lit up with excitement.

To them, the Vinsmoke family’s arrival was perfect timing…

Seeing her father and her three brothers, Reiju, who was still hovering in mid-air, was momentarily taken aback. As she glanced toward Judge, she saw her father glaring at her in anger, shouting, “Reiju! What do you think you’re doing!? Get down here right now!”

Reiju hesitated for a moment and glanced at Ian.

Ian sighed inwardly. He understood what was going through Reiju’s mind. Even though Reiju had never had a good impression of her cold-hearted family, and despite their lack of compassion, Reiju herself still had feelings. Like Sanji, she was an exception in the family, retaining her emotions and humanity. So, no matter how much she despised or resented her family, in her heart, Judge was still her father.

Because he understood her feelings, Ian simply nodded, signaling her to go ahead and join her father.

Once Reiju saw Ian nod, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned, and descended to stand before Judge.

“Father…” Reiju called out to him.

Before Judge could speak, Ichiji snorted coldly from the side, “Reiju, just look at the mess you’ve made! Ian and his Dragon Hunter Pirates chased us Germa for so long, and now, in the blink of an eye, you’re hanging out with him!”

“Exactly!” Niji chimed in with his arms crossed, mocking her, “Back then, I even asked the Big Mom Pirates to rescue you, and now you’ve gone and joined the Dragon Hunter Pirates. All my efforts were wasted!”

Hearing her two brothers’ ruthless mockery, Reiju felt a surge of anger. But she knew exactly what kind of people her three brothers were, so she didn’t even bother responding to them. Instead, she turned to Judge and asked, “Father, what are you planning to do?”

“Hmph!” Judge snorted, veins bulging on his forehead as he rebuked her in a low voice, “Reiju, what are you thinking? Don’t you realize that our cooperation with the Big Mom Pirates is at its peak? You’re a member of the Vinsmoke family! By sticking with that Ian fellow, do you want to bring Big Mom’s wrath down on us?”

“…I’ve already joined the Dragon Hunter Pirates,” Reiju replied expressionlessly. “Ian is my captain, so of course, I stand with him.”

“Ridiculous!” Judge roared angrily. “The Dragon Hunter Pirates! You are the eldest daughter of the Vinsmoke family, and you’re hanging around with some pirates? What nonsense! Now that we’ve found you, you will return to the family immediately!”

“And do what?” Reiju glanced at Ichiji and the others behind him, her voice laced with sarcasm. “Go back to watch you all grovel before the Big Mom Pirates? To kiss up to Big Mom?”

“You…” Judge fumed, about to retort, when Ichiji suddenly interjected from behind, “Father, forget it! Reiju’s already been bewitched by that guy. No matter what you say, it’s pointless. We might as well tie her up and hand her over to the Big Mom Pirates. That way, our Vinsmoke family can distance ourselves from this mess…”

“You bastard!” Even Reiju, as composed as she was, couldn’t hold back her fury upon hearing this. Is this really something her own brother would say?

Because of her time with Ian, Reiju had met Sanji earlier. Though Sanji, that shameless flirt, couldn’t resist chasing after beautiful women, he was still as gentle as ever toward his sister. In this moment, Reiju couldn’t help but compare Sanji to Ichiji and the others, realizing even more that leaving the family had been the right decision.

Just as Reiju was about to angrily take action and teach Ichiji a lesson, Judge glared at Ichiji and snapped, “Shut up!”

Ichiji huffed but fell silent, and Judge placed a hand on Reiju, saying, “You keep quiet too!”

Then Judge looked up at Ian, who was still in the air, and said, “Boy, stop this! Come down here, I have something to say to you.”

Ian frowned. He had noticed Reiju’s expression earlier, and it seemed like things weren’t going well between her and the Vinsmoke family. What was Judge planning now by calling him down?

With that thought, Ian retracted the lightning surging around him, glanced over at Big Mom’s side, and then descended.

For some reason, it seemed that Big Mom’s side had received some kind of instruction as well, as they made no moves, merely watching Ian as he landed.

“Kid! You’re too reckless!” As soon as Ian touched the ground, the first thing Judge said to him was this.

“I admit you’ve gotten stronger!” Judge continued, “But do you really think you alone can take down the entire Big Mom Pirates?”

Ian frowned and asked, “What exactly are you trying to say?”

“I can’t let my daughter follow you into danger!” Judge sighed, clearly troubled. “Let’s put an end to this. Let me mediate the situation…”

Without waiting for Ian’s response, Judge turned and began walking toward Big Mom’s side.

Ian was stunned. What the hell!? Why does everyone assume I’d lose to the Big Mom Pirates?

In truth, Judge’s skepticism came partly from not knowing that Ian’s Sky Island was already near Cake Island, and partly from the deeply ingrained fear of the Four Emperors. While Ian’s rise had been swift and impressive, it also meant his foundation was still shallow. When compared with the Big Mom Pirates, whose strength Judge knew well, it was no wonder he didn’t have much faith in Ian.

Judge had pinned the Vinsmoke family’s 300-year dream of restoring their kingdom on the Big Mom Pirates. His faith in them was unquestionable.

However, because of Reiju, Judge had no choice but to step in and mediate the situation. At least for now, he didn’t want to see Ian and the Big Mom Pirates go to war. If a battle were to happen, it had to be after he safely took Reiju away from Ian’s side.

After that, Judge wouldn’t care what happened to Ian…

While Ian was still frustrated, Yonji, being his foolish self, taunted Ian, “Hmph, kid, if you want to die, don’t drag the Vinsmoke family down with you…”

Before he could finish his sentence, his whole body was instantly sent flying like a cannonball!

“Idiot!” Reiju retracted her leg after kicking Yonji. She had been holding back for a while now, and finally lost her patience.

Ian looked at Reiju speechlessly, lowering his hand that had been gripping his sword’s sheath. He had intended to strike first, but Reiju beat him to it.

“…” Ichiji and Niji remained expressionless, showing no reaction at all to Yonji being kicked away.

Their complete lack of emotion towards their own brother made Ian shake his head in disbelief at the strange dynamics of the Vinsmoke family.

On the other side, Judge approached Big Mom with a smile and said, “Mama, why get worked up over a young man? Tomorrow is the wedding tea party. If the Cake Island gets destroyed, there won’t be any party!”

“Hmph!” Big Mom lowered her head, her face dark as she glared at Judge. “Judge, don’t think I haven’t noticed. Your daughter is standing right behind Ian. What’s the Vinsmoke family’s stance on this?”

But Judge, being a seasoned schemer, avoided the topic entirely and instead asked, “By the way, wasn’t Ian one of your invited guests? Why did a fight break out so suddenly?”

Katakuri, standing with his arms crossed, coldly explained, “He heard that Mama wanted him to marry our sister Smoothie, but he refused and tried to leave. Since he’s an invited guest, how could we just let him go like that? That’s how the conflict started!”

Hearing this, Judge burst into laughter and said, “So that’s what happened! This is just a small matter!”

“A small matter?” Big Mom shot Judge a sideways glance and asked, “You think someone causing trouble on Cake Island is a small matter?”

“Mama!” Judge responded with a smile, “In my opinion, it really is a small matter. Have you forgotten? Ian is just in his twenties. At that age, young people are naturally rebellious. He opposes the marriage because he dislikes arranged marriages, especially when he’s never even met your daughter, Smoothie. He doesn’t know her at all, so it’s understandable that things turned out this way. In fact, I think your approach might have been a bit too rushed. Perhaps if Smoothie spends some time with him first, and if they grow fond of each other, you might not be able to separate them even if you wanted to.”

“Hmm…” Big Mom mused for a moment, then said, “You have a point…”

Seeing that Big Mom’s attitude had softened, Judge sensed an opportunity and quickly added, “Young people tend to resist more when they are pressured. It might be better to calmly sit down and talk things through. Explain the situation to him. Even if you can’t come to an agreement, at least it won’t spoil your mood for the wedding party.”

Big Mom exchanged a peculiar look with Katakuri, and after a brief pause, nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll give the Vinsmoke family this favor. Go tell him that I have a secret about Kaido. If he’s interested in hearing it, he should behave and wait until after the tea party.”

“Understood!” Judge nodded. “Oh, by the way, Mama, I brought you a gift—some rare snacks from Fish-Man Island. They’re not easy to come by.”
