Bajak Laut Topi Jerami
Karena mereka mengganggu kepentingan Big Mom, Zeus awalnya adalah musuh Tim Pengambilan Sanji. Setelah Luffy mengalahkan Charlotte Cracker, Zeus bergabung dengan pasukan yang berkumpul untuk membalaskan dendamnya.[12] Saat Brook mencoba mencuri salinan poneglyph Big Mom, Zeus bertarung bersama Big Mom dan homies spesial lainnya dan menyerangnya.[17] Saat tim dikejar oleh Bajak Laut Big Mom setelah mereka melarikan diri Pulau Kue Utuh, Nami dan Brook menggunakan Zeus untuk melawan Big Mom dengan memaksanya mengeluarkan semua kekuatannya. Ketika Zeus sangat lemah, Brook menangkapnya dan Nami memaksanya menjadi pelayannya.[8]
Setelah Topi Jerami melarikan diri dari Totto Land dan Nami mengungkapkan bahwa dia menahan Zeus di Clima-Tact-nya, terlihat bahwa Zeus tampaknya tidak keberatan bekerja untuk Nami.[3] Namun, ketika Big Mom kemudian dapat menggunakan kekuatannya untuk mendapatkan kembali kendali atas Zeus, Nami menyatakan bahwa persahabatan mereka telah berakhir.[18]
Ketika Zeus sedang mencari Big Mom dan melihat Nami di jalan, dia memenuhi pernyataannya sebelumnya dan memberinya sikap dingin. Namun, ketika dia melihat betapa kejamnya Linlin dalam membuang Zeus, dia mengasihani dia dan mencoba memberdayakan dia dengan awannya, hanya untuk dicegat oleh Hera.[10] Syukurlah, tindakannya memungkinkan Zeus untuk bertahan hidup dengan menjadi satu dengan Clima-Tact-nya, meskipun ketika dia melihat dia masih tidak memaafkannya atas pengkhianatannya sebelumnya, dia mulai berbaikan dengan membantunya menjatuhkan Ulti untuk Bagus.[19]
Nami dapat memaafkan Zeus atas tindakannya sebelumnya dan meskipun dia menolak tawaran Zeus untuk menjadi pelayannya lagi, dia membuat proposal yang lebih baik dari Zeus menjadi pasangannya.[4] Nami telah terbukti sangat posesif terhadap Zeus, menunjukkan kebiasaan untuk memegang dan mencengkeramnya erat-erat, menjadi sangat marah jika dia menunjukkan segala bentuk ketidaksetiaan padanya, menyebabkan Zeus terkadang sangat takut padanya.
Big Mom dengan homies spesialnya.
Menjadi homie yang spesial, Zeus setia kepada Big Mom dan Bajak Laut Big Mom.[2] Sementara Big Mom mengalami salah satu keinginannya untuk makan, Zeus diperlihatkan merawat kesejahteraannya juga untuk Sweet City.[20] Zeus juga terbukti pendendam terhadap mereka yang mengecewakan Big Mom.[12] Menurut Charlotte Perospero, Zeus bertanggung jawab membawa Big Mom ke luar negeri.[21] Seperti kebanyakan individu, Zeus terbukti takut akan kemarahan Big Mom.[22] Ketika Big Mom dan anak-anaknya tiba di Negara Wano, Big Mom secara terbuka menyatakan niatnya untuk mengambil kembali Zeus, dan akhirnya berhasil, mengancam Zeus dengan kematian jika dia bersikap lunak pada Nami.[9]
Kemudian, selama pertarungan melawan Generasi Terburuk di atap Kubah Tengkorak, Big Mom menjadi sangat marah kepada Zeus, menyebutnya tidak berguna setelah dia dijebak oleh Kid dan Law di dalam kotak, mencegahnya menyelamatkan Big Mom ketika mereka berhasil melemparkannya dari atap.[23] Setelah dia dibebaskan dari kotaknya, Zeus segera berangkat untuk mencari Big Mom, tidak menyadari kemarahannya terhadapnya dan bahwa dia telah menggantikannya dengan homie baru bernama Hera.[24]
Setelah akhirnya mencapai Big Mom, Zeus patah hati melihat Hera bersama Homies spesial lainnya, yang hanya diperparah ketika Linlin menyatakan dia tidak lagi membutuhkan Zeus, dan bahkan melangkah lebih jauh dengan menawarkan fragmen hidup dan jiwanya kepada penggantinya. Perlakuan tidak berperasaan ini membuatnya memberontak melawan penciptanya untuk menciptakan celah bagi Bajak Laut Topi Jerami untuk melarikan diri.[10]
Terlepas dari apa yang telah terjadi, Zeus masih merawat mantan tuannya ketika dia menangis sebentar untuknya setelah mengetahui kekalahannya dari Trafalgar Law dan Eustass Kid, sebelum Nami mengingatkannya bahwa dia bukan lagi tuannya.[15]
Rekan-rekan homies khusus Zeus tampaknya rukun dan bertarung dengan baik dalam sinkronisasi satu sama lain.[12][17] Namun, ketika dia terganggu dan kemudian digunakan oleh Nami, Prometheus diperlihatkan memperlakukan Zeus dengan kasar.[25] Ketika Zeus dijebak oleh Kid dan Law di dalam sebuah kotak, mencegahnya menyelamatkan Big Mom agar tidak jatuh ke laut, Prometheus dan Napoleon menyebut Zeus tidak berguna dan menyatakan bahwa dia selalu menahan mereka, meyakinkan Big Mom untuk menggantikannya dengan Hera.[23] Baik Napoleon maupun Prometheus tidak menunjukkan penyesalan atas Zeus yang dibuang oleh Big Mom dan Hera.[10]
Military Conquests and Legacy of Kublai Khan
Despite his diplomatic and artistic successes, Kublai Khan was a skilled military leader who maintained the Mongol Empire’s growth. His soldiers fought in Southeast Asia, Japan, and even attempted to capture Vietnam. However, these efforts were greeted with mixed results, as Japan notably resisted Mongol invasions known as the Kamikaze typhoons in 1274 and 1281.
Kublai Khan died in 1294, leaving behind a complicated legacy. His rule was a watershed event in history, as he effectively merged Mongol nomadic customs with conquered lands’ civilizations. His administration, governance, and cultural exchange endeavors provided the groundwork for the wealthy Yuan Dynasty.
Yuan Dynasty’s Founder
Kublai Khan, the Great Khan, founded the Yuan dynasty in 1271, making China his primary operating base. He accepted Chinese political and cultural traditions, consolidated authority, and leaned heavily on Chinese advisers. Drogon Chogyal Phagpa was designated as Kublai’s Imperial Preceptor, giving him power over all Buddhist monks. In 1279, he defeated the Southern Song and united China.
The Yuan dynasty was divided into provinces, each with its own administrative system, and included areas such as China, Manchuria, Mongolia, and the Korean Peninsula. Kublai encouraged economic expansion through infrastructural projects and introduced a uniform paper currency known as the Jiaochao. Fiscal troubles and inflation, on the other hand, eventually led to economic woes.
Kublai fostered Asian arts, showed religious tolerance, and employed foreign ambassador Marco Polo for 17 years.
Confucius’ ancestors were divided into two branches, one in the north (Qufu) and one in the south (Quzhou), with the northern branch maintaining the title of Duke Yansheng when the southern branch refused to return to Qufu. Kublai Khan also issued ordinances outlawing Jewish and Muslim dietary rules, as well as circumcision.
After Genghis Khan, Who Ruled the Mongol Empire?
Genghis Khan’s third son, Ogedei, succeeded his father and governed the Mongol Empire from 1227 CE until 1241 CE. His conquest of Eastern Europe was one of his most significant accomplishments for the empire.
The Germa Empire, which encompassed the entire North Blue for 66 days, was at the center of the Germa Kingdom about 300 years ago. Since its loss, the ruling family of the Kingdom has made significant efforts to regain its empire, with the reigning King commanding Germa 66 in the infamous Conquest of Four Nations, he was seen standing atop victorious North Blue rulers. However, the specifics of the battle are unknown.
At some point in the past, Judge wed Sora, making her the queen consort of the Germa Kingdom. Twenty one years ago when the kingdom was still located at North Blue, Sora gave birth to the kingdom’s four princes, including Sanji, and she also gave birth to Vinsmoke Reiju, the only princess of the kingdom. Some time later, Sora became seriously ill from drugs she took before giving birth to her sons, and spent the rest of her life bedridden in the hospital ward until passing away.
Sanji was raised in the Germa Kingdom until the age of eight, when Judge subjected his children to a rigorous training schedule and kept track of their development. Sanji spent the final six months of his life in Germa in the dungeon of the royal palace, where his father had ordered him to be held as a means of completely erasing Sanji from his life. The rest of the Kingdom, including Judge’s children, were informed that Sanji had died in a shipwreck, and a state burial for him was organized as well.
Thirteen years ago, Germa 66 agreed a contract to invade and conquer the island of Cozia in East Blue. It was during this time when Reiju assisted her younger brother Sanji to escape the Kingdom as it crossed the Red Line from North Blue to East Blue by releasing him from prison. Sanji was caught by Judge as the former attempted to flee, and Judge allowed Sanji to go as long as he never used the Vinsmoke name ever again. With Reiju’s assistance, Sanji fled safely on a cruise ship that was docked off the coast of Cozia.
Whole Cake Island Saga/Arc
The Vinsmoke and Charlotte families formed a political alliance after Sanji left the Germa Kingdom to start a new life in the East Blue. As a part of this agreement, the marriage between the third son of the Vinsmoke Family and the 35th daughter of the Charlotte Family was arranged to unite the two bloodlines of the two families.
However, the wedding was not held until thirteen years later because the Vinsmoke Family was unable to locate their third son, Sanji, who had been living in Baratie and kept a low profile. Sanji was able to return to his homeland thanks to the connections of the Big Mom Pirates, particularly after Capone Bege threatened him with the repercussions of his mentor’s gruesome murder for declining to attend the wedding. The Germa Kingdom started gradually converging on Lake Aprico on Whole Cake Island prior to the wedding.
A few days before the wedding, Sanji traveled back to his homeland, where he met his father, younger brother, and sister for the first time in 13 years. Judge urged Sanji to settle their differences through battle after rejecting both Yonji and Reiju’s efforts to persuade him to accept the planned marriage. After the duel, which concluded in a courtyard outside the Vinsmoke castle, Judge told Sanji why they had allied with Big Mom, and Reiju attached exploding wristlets that would explode Sanji’s arms to force him to cooperate with the wedding.
The day before the wedding, Vinsmoke Ichiji and Niji completed their assignment on Broc Coli Island and then left the Germa Kingdom. While dining in their throne room, the reunited Vinsmokes started talking about politics, but the conversation rapidly turned into a fight between Sanji and the other members of the family. After the meal, Sanji found out that Cosette (the head of the culinary staff for the royal household) was severely beaten inside the castle. Sanji, who vowed to exact revenge on Niji, ran across Yonji, who showed him the location of the facility housing Germa 66’s clone army, and they were soon joined by Ichiji and Niji, who then attacked Sanji along with Yonji.
After the attack, Reiju found a beaten Sanji in the lab. Before taking Sanji to his room, she gave the Germa scientists the instruction to leave him in her care. The entire royal family was greeted by their cheering citizens as they left for Whole Cake Chateau for the pre-wedding gift exchange ceremony after Reiju had attended to Sanji’s wounds.
Later on, it is revealed that the wedding was all a part of Big Mom’s scheme to kill the Vinsmoke Family in order to gain access to the kingdom’s cloning technology. However, the Vinsmokes (apart from Sanji) were able to successfully flee back to their country after the assassination plan was foiled during the wedding ceremony. Nusstorte’s squad tried to catch up with them, but they were completely defeated, and soon, Ichiji gave the order for Germa’s ships to depart after Niji duped Mont-d’Or into disclosing the whereabouts of the Straw Hats.
A few hours later, the Big Mom Pirates’ fleet surrounding Cacao Island was attacked by the forces of Germa Kingdom, which allowed Luffy and Sanji to escape. Judge directed his men to attack the pursuers at sea while his children attacked the army on land.
After ensuring their safety aboard the Sunny, Judge attempted to understand what Luffy saw in Sanji, whom he believed to be a useless failure. He was displeased when Luffy mistook his criticism for praise for the chef. The Vinsmoke siblings were hurt in the conflict with the Big Mom Pirates, who had brought anti-Germa bullets with them. The Big Mom Pirates prevailed ultimately as a result.
Germa 66 was getting ready to retreat when the Straw Hats finally left Totto Land. However, Big Mom reached Cacao Island before they could leave. Later on, the Germa Kingdom managed to escape from Whole Cake Island.
The World Government banished the Germa Kingdom after learning of their latest effort to join forces with the Big Mom Pirates.
Zeus Jabatan: Mitra (相棒, Aibō?, Viz: "Sidekick");[4] Senjata Hidup; Pelayan (bekas) "Zeus si Awan Petir" (雷雲のゼウス, Raiun no Zeusu?)[5]
Senjata Hidup; Pelayan (bekas)
Zeus si Awan Petir adalah homie yang menyatu dengan Sihir Clima-Tact Nami. Sebelum bergabung dengan Clima-Tact, dia dimiliki oleh Big Mom, yang akan memanggilnya dari tangan kirinya.[2] Karena terbuat dari fragmen jiwa dari Big Mom sendiri,[7] dia lebih kuat dari kebanyakan homies.
Dia diciptakan oleh Big Mom di masa mudanya, dan melayaninya dengan baik hingga dewasa sebagai salah satu senjata pribadinya bersama Prometheus dan Napoleon. Selama Bajak Laut Topi Jerami melarikan diri dari Totto Land, Zeus ditangkap oleh Topi Jerami dan dipaksa menjadi pelayan Nami.[8] Dia tinggal di dalam Sorcery Clima-Tact untuk waktu yang singkat sampai dia diklaim kembali oleh Big Mom di Negeri Wano.[3][9] Namun, Big Mom kemudian meninggalkan Zeus untuk selamanya setelah dia berjuang selama pertempuran di Onigashima, menggantikannya dengan homie lain bernama Hera. Dia berusaha untuk menghapus fragmen jiwanya darinya,[10] tapi dia selamat dari cobaan itu dengan secara permanen menyatu dengan Clima-Tact Nami sebagai Vessel.[11] Zeus kemudian bergabung dengan Nami selamanya, kali ini sebagai pasangannya.[4]
Zeus biasanya muncul sebagai awan besar dan berwarna terang. Ketika dia menyebabkan badai, dia menjadi gelap dan menghasilkan kilatan petir kuning (merah muda di anime saat dikendalikan oleh Big Mom, kuning di anime saat dikendalikan oleh Nami).[2] Dia juga memakai topi baseball bergaris merah dan biru (merah dan putih di anime) dengan pinggiran kuning di kepalanya.[1] Dia biasanya memiliki ekspresi riang dan mengantuk, tetapi dapat terlihat lebih menyeramkan.[12] Ketika dia awalnya dideskripsikan oleh Pound, dia tidak memiliki topi baseball dan sebagian besar fitur wajahnya.[2] Setelah diiris menjadi dua oleh Brook dan kemudian listriknya dikuras oleh Nami, ukuran Zeus sangat berkurang, cukup untuk dipegang dengan satu tangan, dan wajahnya cukup untuk menutupi sebagian besar tubuhnya.[13] Selama Penyerbuan di Onigashima, Zeus mengenakan helm kabuto biru saat dia muncul bersama Topi Jerami lainnya.[14]
Zeus sebagai Sihir Clima-Tact.
Setelah menyatu dengan Sorcery Clima-Tact Nami, wajah Zeus juga dapat muncul di tengah gagang Sorcery Clima-Tact, mempertahankan ekspresi tolol dengan tanda memerah. Wajahnya juga dapat dipindahkan ke pelengkap oranye di akhir Clima-Tact setiap kali dia membuatnya tumbuh, dan dia juga dapat mentransfer kesadarannya ke fenomena cuaca yang diciptakan oleh Clima-Tact.[11] Namun, ia terus mengambil bentuk awannya.[15][16]

Sebagai salah satu senjata pribadinya, Zeus sangat setia kepada Big Mom dan akan mendatanginya saat dia memanggilnya. Zeus juga tampaknya peduli dengan keselamatan warga di Totto Land dan benci melihat mereka tersiksa selama amukan Big Mom, tetapi tidak seperti sesama homiesnya, Zeus tahu sia-sia untuk mencoba dan berunding dengan Big Mom ketika dia sedang mengamuk.[2]
Namun, terlepas dari kesetiaannya, Zeus berbagi kerakusannya yang ekstrim dan sangat menikmati makan awan petir. Zeus bersedia untuk tidak mematuhi perintah langsung dari Big Mom selama Nami terus memberinya makan awan petir. Namun, dia mampu bernalar dan belajar dari kesalahannya, karena dia menjadi sangat marah saat Nami mencoba memberinya makan lagi, meski amarahnya membuatnya terbuka untuk menyerang.[8] Kesetiaannya kepada Big Mom tidak datang sebelum menghargai nyawanya sendiri, seperti ketika Big Mom memerintahkan Hera untuk memakannya, dia memohon untuk diizinkan pergi dengan damai daripada menyerahkan kekuatan jiwanya kepada Hera. Dia melangkah lebih jauh untuk membantu Nami setelah merasa dikhianati oleh Big Mom, dan bersedia menyerang tuannya sebagai sarana permintaan maaf kepada Nami atas pengkhianatannya sebelumnya.[10]
Dia juga sangat riang, karena setelah dia menjadi pelayan Nami, dia dengan mudah menerimanya dan merasa nyaman untuk disimpan di dalam Clima-Tact miliknya.

Brothers’ Dispute (Kublai-Boke), Kublai’s Emergence as Great Khan
Despite a formal claim by his younger brother Ariq Boke, Kublai Khan was elected Great Khan by his followers at the Grand Kurultai in 1260. This sparked a fight between Kublai and Ariq Boke, which resulted in the destruction of Karakorum, the Mongol capital.
Kublai obtained backing in Shaanxi and Sichuan and sought to resolve the conflict diplomatically in Hangzhou but failed. He also selected Abishqa as the next Chagatai Khanate commander, but Ariq Boke kidnapped him. Ariq Boke was defeated in combat, resulting in the fall of Karakorum. Ariq Boke temporarily regained control of the city in 1261.
Kublai faced a mutiny at Yizhou, which he quickly subdued, leading to the leaders’ execution. This incident made Kublai mistrust ethnic Hans. Ariq Boke appointed Chagatayid Khan Alghu, who switched allegiance to Kublai and defeated a punitive expedition. In 1264, Ariq Boke surrendered to Kublai.
Western khanate kings accepted Kublai’s power. Kublai called a fresh kurultai, but Hulagu Khan and Berke refused to come. The opposing claims of the brothers caused a civil war between the two sides, with Kublai finally triumphing in 1264. Ariq Boke surrendered to Kublai in Shangdu, who saved his life. Kublai, on the other hand, had all of his allies killed, solidifying his position as the next Great Khan of the Mongolian Empire.
Later Years of Kublai Khan
In 1291, Kublai Khan, the Mongol ruler, dispatched his grandson Gammala to safeguard his grandfather Genghis Khan’s hallowed burial site. Ikh Khorig was a well-guarded place. Bayan recovered influence in neighboring territories under Kublai’s control in 1293, discouraging Kublai’s adversary, Kaidu, from large-scale military action for three years. Beginning in 1293, Kublai’s armies drove Kaidu’s men off the Central Siberian Plateau.
Following the death of his wife, Chabi, in 1281, Kublai isolated himself from his counselors, preferring to converse with one of his other queens, Nambui. He had multiple daughters, but only two of them were named. Kublai’s wife and daughters were less conspicuous than the important ladies of his grandfather’s period.
Initially, he picked his son Zhenjin to be his successor, and he ruled in a Confucian style. Zhenjin, on the other hand, died in 1286, bringing Kublai tremendous grief. He became depressed, particularly after the deaths of his favorite wife and intended successor, as well as military failures in Vietnam and Japan. This resulted in overeating and drinking, which caused health problems such as gout and diabetes. His illness worsened despite pursuing numerous medical therapies, including shamans and physicians.
He even skipped the usual New Year’s Eve ritual in 1293. He appointed Zhenjin’s son, Temur, as the future Khagan of the Mongol Empire and ruler of the Yuan dynasty before his death. During his terminal illness, he sought solace from Bayan, who was much younger. Kublai Khan died on February 18, 1294, at the age of 78, and was buried in Mongolia two days later.
Kublai Khan, best recognized as a Chinese ruler, also played an important role in creating the Mongol political traditions. He and his adviser ‘Phags-pa devised the “dual principle,” which highlighted the equality of religion and state in politics. This philosophy affected Mongolian history and helped establish a theocratic monarchy after Mongolia achieved independence from China in 1911.
Evaluating Kublai’s character is difficult because Marco Polo’s major account of him is more of a compliment than an impartial appraisal. Polo depicts Kublai as an ideal global ruler, but he also admits his human weaknesses, such as excessive dining and hunting, a complicated personal life, and occasional harshness.
The significance of Kublai lies in his attempt to manage his conflicting duties. Despite his energy and political understanding, he was unable to resolve the fundamental inconsistencies. He gradually resembled a typical Chinese emperor, with China consuming the majority of his attention to the detriment of the Mongol homeland. As a result, internal battles between competing Mongol rulers arose.
Kublai Khan’s reign was distinguished by a distinctive combination of military victories, cultural interchange, and administrative improvements. His vision of a united, cosmopolitan empire laid the stage for succeeding Chinese dynasties and affected world history. Kublai Khan’s legacy lives on through the Yuan Dynasty’s cultural and architectural accomplishments, reminding us of the continuing significance of this great Mongol monarch.
While his reign provided riches to China and the privileged Mongols, Kublai Khan’s successors struggled to keep the balance. The Mongols retreated to the steppes after the monarchy collapsed in 1368, and they no longer played a vital role on the international stage.
