Personality
Vinsmoke Judge is adamant in conquering North Blue. He values gaining power over the territory under his powerful army, Germa 66. He is willing to kill his own men without hesitation under the guise that they were meant to lay their lives for the Vinsmoke Family. He has confidence in all his son's talents and abilities with the exception of Sanji who views as weak. Unlike his sons and his daughter, Reiju, Judge views Sanji as a disposable pawn to further his goals caring little for his safety as he place exploding bracelets on his wrists to keep him under his control.

History
In the past, Vinsmoke Judge wanted to conquer the North Blue. At some point, Sanji left his family at a young age. Vinsmoke Judge decided to track him down throughout the years. Vinsmoke Judge also manipulated the Sanji's bounty to change it to "Only Alive" as a way to retrieve safely. Vinsmoke Judge masterminded a plan to get Sanji to marry into Big Mom's family in order to get enough power from her so that he could conquer the North Blue.

While Sanji was having a conversation with Reiju in the Germa Kingdom, Vinsmoke Judge appeared. Sanji told him immediately that he does not want anything to with the upcoming wedding or him as he does not consider him his father. Vinsmoke Judge decided that he would fight Sanji so that they could end their issues. While fighting Sanji, Judge eventually won using one of his men as a shield to deflect one of Sanji's attack. After the battle, Reiju placed explosive bracelets on Sanji's wrists informing him that he will be going through with the marriage regardless of his own intentions. He warned him that if he tries to escape the wedding that his arms will blow up.
