[Insert text: A shocking sight...!!]
Yonji: What is this, you ask? // Why, of course...
Sanji: .........
Yonji: It’s the soldiers of the Germa 66, / feared by countries around the world!!
Sanji: ?!! // Why are they in this water...?!!
Yonji: It’s called a “culture solution”.
Sanji: They all have the same face......!! // Are these people really alive?!

3
Yonji: Sanji. // Human beings...can be created!!
Sanji: ?!!
Yonji: For generations, Germa has been a country of science. // Though he may not look it, even our father was a top scientist before we were born. // He belonged to an illegal research team abroad... / ...and conducted weapons research together with Dr. Vegapunk himself.
Sanji: !! // ......That man worked with Vegapunk......?!
Yonji: In his younger days, yeah. And the breakthrough Vegapunk made back then... / ...was the discovery of the “bloodline factor” present in all living organisms...!! / This was a discovery that with one wrong step could elevate a man into the realm of the gods... // He basically discovered the blueprints to life itself.

4
Yonji: The World Government decided this research was too dangerous, and arrested Vegapunk...!! / The research team was disbanded...!! No...bought out by the government.
Sanji: ......
Yonji: But our father escaped from the government and continued that research here in Germa. // Research into copying and modifying life itself.
Sanji: !!
Yonji: And that’s how this underground facility was born!! // All these people you see here...are copies of just a handful of elite soldiers!! // They’re “clone troops”...!!
Sanji: ?!!
Yonji: Though naturally, the soldiers themselves... // ...have no idea about any of this...!!

5
Yonji: Countries around the world live in fear of our army, and at the same time... / ...they admire it and want it for themselves!! // And why wouldn’t they? Our soldiers are strong and obedient......!! / They’re programmed to have no fear of death, and never betray their leaders! // If they do die, they can easily be replaced! / It takes just five years to create a twenty-year-old soldier.
Sanji: .........
Yonji: What you see before you is a stock depot for soldiers...!! // Though they were created in just five years, every one of these guys... / ...acts for all the world like he’s lived for twenty...
Sanji: Stop!!! I’ve heard enough!!!
Yonji: ?

6
Sanji: ......I think I’m going to throw up.
Yonji: .........
Sanji: ......!! // ...............!!
Ichiji: When I heard you’d gone and become a pirate...
Sanji: ?!
Yonji: !
Sanji: Ichiji, Niji...!!
Ichiji: ...I thought maybe the loser had actually grown up and made something of himself.
Niji: But you’re just as pathetic as ever......!!

7
Sanji: ......!! Niji... // Why, you......!!
Niji: Hm?
Sanji: What the hell did you think you were doing......
Niji: ?!
Sanji: ...to Cosette-chan?!!!
Niji: !!!

8
Niji: !!!
Sanji: You’ve committed a mortal sin!!! I’ll make you understand that!!!
Niji: ......!!
Ichiji: Hold it, Sanji. / Don’t forget about the hostage we’re holding in East Blue.
Sanji: !!!
Niji: Stealth.
Sanji: ?!
Niji: The hell’s your problem? Don’t tell me you took a liking... // ...to that kitchen wench?

9
Niji: Don’t fight back, unless you want blood to be spilled in East Blue. // Henry... // ...Needle!!!
Sanji: !!! // Guahhh!!! // !!!
Niji: You should’ve let me know. Then I’d’ve left her face unharmed.
Sanji: ..................
Ichiji: If you don’t mind her covered in wounds, you can have her as a servant if you like. // Hahahah......!!

10
Ichiji: Consider this your official welcome back... / ...to the House of Vinsmoke...!! // We’d better make sure we’re all clear on the hierarchy around here, now, hadn’t we......?!!
Sanji: ......!!
Ichiji: You’re just a failed experiment.
Sanji: ......!!
Flashback!Judge: Listen up. All of you... // ...are my ultimate creations......!! // Through the scientific manipulation techniques I uncovered in my research... / ...you came into this world as beings greater than human!!
Flashback!Ichiji: .........
Flashback!Judge: You will never be swayed by petty sentimentality. / You will grow up strong, and one day lead armies of your own.

11
Flashback!Judge: With you as its masters, the Germa 66 will grow yet stronger through the power of science!!! // I have given you talent!! Now all that remains is for you to hone it!!!
Flashback!VinsmokeKids: Yes, Father!!
Flashback!Scientist: .........

12
Flashback!Ichiji: ?
Flashback!VinsmokeKids: .........

13
Flashback!Judge: ......... // Why is Sanji so much weaker than the others...? / The gap in their scores grows wider by the day.
Flashback!Scientist: We have the results from the tests. / Ichiji-sama, Niji-sama and Yonji-sama are proceeding wonderfully, just as expected. // They have manifested “exoskeletons”, and both their core strength and muscular performance... / ...have already reached the level of full-grown men.

14
Flashback!Scientist: Sanji-sama, however... / ...though it pains me to say this... // ...can only be described as a failure.
Flashback!Judge: ?!
Flashback!Scientist: The bloodline factor manipulation had seemed to be successful in all four cases... / But for some reason, his alone has reverted to its natural-born state...
Flashback!Judge: Which means?
Flashback!Scientist: Sanji-sama...... // ...is an ordinary human.
Flashback!Judge: ......!!!
Flashback!Sanji: ! // Go on, you can eat it.
Flashback!Mouse: !
Flashback!Sanji: I made it for you!

15
Flashback!Sanji: Is it good?
Flashback!Judge: Sanji!! Have you been making food for the mice again?!
Flashback!Sanji: !!
Flashback!Judge: It is not the place of royalty to serve!! How many times must I tell you?!!!
Flashback!Sanji: But... / But I......
Flashback!Judge: Your mother is dead!!! You have chased after her shadow for long enough!!! // You do not possess the same talents as your brothers!!
Flashback!Sanji: ......!!
Flashback!Judge: So instead, you must work ten times, nay a hundred times as hard as them!!! You are all key pieces... // ...of my plan to rebuild Germa!!! Do not disappoint me!!!
Flashback!Sanji: Ahh...!!
Flashback!Judge: Do not let me catch you cooking again.

16
Flashback!Reiju: Don’t blame me for laughing along with them! // If I tried to stop them, they’d just bully me along with you! I’m not letting that happen!
Flashback!Sanji: Oww...
Flashback!Scientist: No sign of improvement...
Flashback!Judge: No potential whatsoever...!! // What a worthless being. // It was a tragic accident... How terrible!! / I always believed that my five children would become fine warriors, forging the future of Germa together...!! // But alas, I have lost a fine son...
Flashback!Sanji: Huh? ...... // It won’t come off...!! You guys... // What are you doing...?!!
Flashback!Niji: Did he really die?
Flashback!Ichiji: Who cares? He was no good anyway.
Flashback!Reiju: ...... // ...............??

17
Flashback!Sanji: Wait, please!! // I don’t wanna be in a place like this!! / Let me out!!! // Don’t leave me behind!! I’m scared!! I might die!!! // Somebody call Father!!! Father, help me!! / They’re going to kill me!!!
Flashback!Soldier: This was His Majesty’s decision...... / He wishes to deny that you were ever born, Sanji-sama......
Flashback!Sanji: ??!! // .........?!! But why? // Let me out... Please, Father!!! // I’m sorry...!!! I’m sorry I was born so weak...!!! // Help me!!! Help me, Father!!! Fatheeeeer!!!
