OP WHAT IF AU: Vinsmoke Judith
Vinsmoke Judith (AKA, The Valhalla) is the first ruling queen of Germa 66. Born as middle and only daughter among seven, she lived her life being mocked and insulted by her older brothers; Blade, Scourge, and Claude. However, she was what the kingdom needed; beautiful, strong, and ruthless. In her teen years, she was forced to leave the kingdom by her jealous brothers who felt threatened of her possibly surpasses them or killing them someday. But she learned science from Vegapunk, journeyed through the world(even learning secrets from the process). On her way, she found a boy named Sorage (male!Sora), an injured chore boy of Marine Base due to the war taking place. Took pity on him, she recruited and protected Sorage, training him to be a warrior. As her father Rage was beginning to invade South Blue due to his desire to take over the world, Judith encouraged South Blue countries to rebel against tyrannical king and his sons. Eventually, she killed her older brothers, executed her father for good... banished her younger brothers for their lacking power to stop them. She was known as anti-hero, succeeding her father and become the first ruling queen of warmongering kingdom.
Time goes by, now adult Sorage become a "king consort" of a woman who saved his life and fell in love with. They had first son Reiji, and few years later, Judith was expecting quadruplets. However, when she was on labor, the war took place in North Blue as few kings there were afraid of her increasing power. To keep her and the unborn children safe, Sorage decided to volunteer leading the army. But one defeated kingdom unleashed the poison, heavily infecting Sorage's health. With Ichiji, Niji, Sanjina and Yonji born, Sorage was satisfied of their healthy birth. Judith witnessed how Ichiji, Niji and Yonji inherited her older brothers' trait, but sees Sanjina inherited Sorage's personalities and passion for cooking, which made Judith fear this "weakness" would get her daughter harmed, or worse, get killed. To keep her husband alive, Judith kept him in a tube of sleeping state so she could find a cure to recover him. As Sanjina didn't have any superhuman strength, this caused a strain between Judith and her daughter. She didn't want Sanjina to go through similar childhood she had, so she had no choice but sheltered Sanjina in a tower. When Sanjina attempted to escape Germa, surprisingly, Judith allowed but with one warning; never reveal her relation with Vinsmoke family, fully aware that Vinsmoke clan has many enemies and should they figure out of Sanjina's bloodline, they would hunt her down. Judith decided to be a cold mother to protect her.
But 13 years later, Judith received a letter from Big Dad. A letter said he knows about Sanjina's relation with Vinsmoke family and wants to arrange the marriage between her and his son Charlotte Pudding. Judith was furious of possibility that he would threaten the lives of her husband, sons and daughter but reluctantly agreed to get Sanjina back. According to Reiji, Sanjina still have hard time approaching to her cold, strict warmongering mother. When meeting Charlotte family, Judith did not stop glaring at Pudding with suspicion and distrust. During bachelor party between Ichiji, Niji and Yonji, Judith scolded them due to their carelessness and slight debauchery, but she did plan to keep Pudding in Germa so the boy won't make any foolish decision towards Sanjina. However, her suspicion turned out to be true when Reiji confronted Pudding who have insulted Sanjina for falling for his "charming" act but that Germa 66 will be doomed as soon as Big Dad would get his hands on Germa technologies as the Yonko disagreed of having them used for violent, cruel wars as Pudding added if there would be any "experiment" inside, that would be annihilated as well. However, heartbroken Sanjina overheard and saved Reiji in secrecy. She was shocked to learn that their father Sorage is not dead but is kept in a tube until the cure would be found. This triggers Sanjina's determination to stop Big Dad. At the Whole Cake Island arc after the wedding trap broke out, Judith was held hostage along with her sons, but she remained fearless... no, she MUST be fearless. She remained her head held up high, refuse to let Big Dad have her kingdom's technologies. But discovering his sons attacking her daughter, this inspired a strength within maternal instinct, brutally attacking the Charlotte brothers. Chopper, aware of the situation with Judith's husband, sneaked in with Reiji inside the Germa 66 castle healing Sorage while the battle broke out. As the Straw Hats finally got Sanjina back, this brought conclusion between mother and daughter were Sanjina bid goodbye to now recovered Sorage, Judith, and her brothers.
Some says Judith is an evil queen mother, some says she's a warrior, and some says she is a tyrant. But she had finally conquered her past traumas, at least earning Sanjina's trust. Judith may have been inadvertently gave her daughter a harsh childhood, but tough love is the only thing she can express to her family. Oh and.... although she and Big Dad have their misunderstandings resolved, that doesn't mean Judith would approve Pudding... well, she won't likely approve any man Sanjina would ever involve with.Â
