Overview:
GERMA IS DEAD. LONG LIVE GERMA.
FUCK JUDGE.
After the death of Vinsmoke Judge on Whole Cake Island, Vinsmokes Reiju, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji escaped on a modular Germa ship with a handful of personally loyal soldiers and scientists, leaving their father behind. Dissatisfied with the modifications that their father gave them, and with the help of Germa Scientist Salem Kittridge*, the Princes began the long and arduous process of UNDOING the emotional and physical modifications that the tyrannical Judge forced upon them.
They were not entirely successful.
While they were able to bypass and destroy entirely the genetic blocks that prevented them from feeling emotions, their cybernetic modifications were much too ingrained to remove them entirely. An attempt was made.
The side effects were severe.
VINSMOKE ICHIJI:
The attempt to remove Sparking Red's modifications rendered him psychologically selectively mute, and functionally blind. Dr. Salem was forced to implement a corrective ocular surgery in order to help him see again, and developed a pair of glasses that filters surrounding light into something he can see. He also learned Sign Language as a way to communicate when words fail him, and his siblings and soldiers learned as well.
VINSMOKE NIJI:
The attempts to remove Dengeki Blue's modifications created an unfortunate sensory feedback loop. Every sense that Niji had was amplified, dialed to eleven. After numerous repeated surgeries and modifications, Dr. Salem at last managed to moderate the extreme ends of the overstimulation, and developed light-dimming goggles and sound-dampening headphones to bridge the gap she could not meet.
VINSMOKE YONJI:
The attempts to remove Winch Green's modifications came with the most full-body physical reactions of the siblings. The strain that the winch modifications put upon his muscles has left him with debilitating chronic pain when left unmanaged, vertigo, and caused the unfortunate loss of the use of his legs without aid. Dr. Salem assisted in physical therapy and mobility aids, while the youngest Prince developed his own tactical battle wheelchair.
VINSMOKE REIJU:
Poison Pink needed the fewest amount of attempted modifications to undo the damage that Judge had done. The worst of it was psychological, with Dr. Salem undoing the mental conditioning that Judge had enforced upon her and reintroducing her to proper meals where before she had relied mostly on poison to sustain her.
ABOUT SALEM KITTRIDGE:
Salem Kittridge, known to the Vinsmokes as "Doctor," "Doc," "Kitt," Or "Kitten," was the first to theorize that perhaps Judge's modifications on the three Germa Princes were not as successful as he claimed. He claimed they were uncaring, unfeeling, emotionless, efficient soldiers— and they were certainly the latter. Efficient. But not uncaring. Not unfeeling. And certainly not emotionless.
As the Vinsmokes' personal physician, head of her field, and trusted scientist, Kittridge noticed a pattern that she began to test the limits on. The brothers' emotions... the empathy, the subtle care, they were all there. Buried deep under YEARS of abuse, conditioning, and learned behavior... but they were there.
So Kitt began to tamper. To subtly, carefully modify them herself, slowly teasing the genetic modifications out one strand at a time. And when the Princes and Reiju finally escaped from the clutches of Big Mom and their father, she was already ready with a team and a ship.

MOD STUFF!
Hi all!!! Welcome to my Vinsmoke Redemption AU!!
Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji are CANON DIVERGENT IN THIS AU!! They are much nicer and much less purposefully dickish than in canon. The FULL WEIGHT of their actions towards each other, the world, their mother, and Sanji have crashed down upon them like an anvil :) and they DEEPLY regret it :) and are working to be better :) Reiju is also working on getting better mentally/physically, and they're all learning how to be siblings and people again. Kitt is an OC! I won't be posting as her much, but feel free to ask about what she's doing!
Mod is an adult, you may interact as such!
I apologize for any scientific liberties I take with these guys!!
I do not condone the Canon Vinsmokes' actions, but I find them deeply fascinating characters— hence the AU! I don't know where in the timeline these guys are from yet, I'm still working that out.
I will trigger warn any potential topics with cw: (topic) in the tags!!
Feel free to interact as any character, by the way!!
