Gol D. Roger: "Hahaha! I feel sorry for this old man"
Trafalgar Law: "Look at the innocent expression on the Straw Hat's face, hahaha, it's hilarious....."
Eustass Kid: "Are all those stacked bowls next to him for real?"
Capone Bege: "To be honest, I've never seen someone who can eat so much...!!"
Jewelry Bonney: "I thought I had an unbeatable appetite, but it turns out there's someone who can eat even more than me!!!"
Zeff: "Knowing myself, it only took me seven days to go crazy over there. How much of a glutton can one be???"
Vinsmoke Sanji: "You old man... be grateful you haven't experienced the terror of being controlled by Luffy's appetite"
Zeff: "So you have experienced it???"
Vinsmoke Sanji: "... Once you get used to being controlled, it becomes a habit..."
"!!!"
When they saw Sanji's response, the people watching the screen all silently sympathized with Sanji.
"Hey... didn't we agree to be apprentices here and have our meals provided? Why aren't they keeping their word?" On the back deck of the Baratie, Luffy had a face of grievance.
"You think you're the one being treated unfairly, huh?" Zeff's eyes were filled with anger!!
He angrily said, "Damn it, you've eaten up all the ingredients I prepared for a month!!"
Seeing Zeff's expression as if he wanted to eat someone, Luffy felt a bit guilty, so he squeezed out a smile and said, "What should we do then? How about... I give you an extra 1000 berries for every meal from now on???"
Zeff's face instantly wrinkled like the bark of a hundred-year-old tree...
"1000 berries? Are you trying to bribe a beggar???"
First, he showed a face of disgust, then Zeff pulled Luffy to a corner and whispered, "Kid, I asked your uncle, and it turns out you're their captain. I'll discuss something with you. If you agree, I'll let you continue eating and drinking here for free."
"Okay, I agree!"
Luffy didn't even ask, he just agreed right away!
If he could eat and drink for free here for three months, what couldn't he agree to?
"Don't you want to know what it is?" Zeff widened his eyes in confusion.
"Ask now, ask now! Tell me what it is"
"..." Zeff rolled his eyes and then solemnly said, "You know who Sanji is, right??"
Luffy nodded, "I know, he's the guy who doesn't wear a chef uniform."
Zeff continued, "Yes, him. When you leave, take him with you."
"Huh?"
Luffy made a puzzled face, tapped his ear, and said, "Isn't he the chef on your ship? Why do you want to send him away?"
"He... actually, he has always wanted to set sail and find the All Blue, the paradise all chefs dream of in the Grand Line! But because he's too sentimental, he doesn't want to leave me, and I..."
Zeff pointed to his missing leg and forced a smile, "I can't continue sailing. But, I don't want that brat to be bound to this place because of me for the rest of his life."
"I... I hope he can continue pursuing his dream and set sail with my dream, to find the legendary All Blue!!!"
Zeff looked at the distant horizon, and the image of his former self, full of spirit, appeared before his eyes once again...
Setting sail, breaking through the waves with the wind!!
Luffy thought for a moment and understood.
"Uncle Zeff, I'm touched by the bond between you and Sanji, and I'm willing to help you. But... Sanji's own thoughts are also important! I can't..."
"I'll add eighteen chicken legs to every meal for you!!!"
"Deal!!"
One old, one young, exchange a knowing smile
Pfft!!
The audience watching this scene collectively burst into laughter
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Ah, ah, ah! That bastard Luffy over there!!! Did he bribe you with eighteen chicken legs? You damn bastard!!!"
Nami: "Hahaha!!! That's so Luffy..."
Trafalgar Law: "The captain of the Straw Hat Pirates... I thought you respected Sanji's thought as the crewmate... but it seems..."
Roronoa Zoro: "That Zeff over there is just too carefree. If he added an extra chicken leg to every meal, Luffy might have given in"
Usopp: "That's right, at most two chicken legs, I promise!"
Three months passed quickly...
Zeff found Luffy and quietly reminded him: "Luffy, the three-month deadline has arrived!"
Luffy, reluctantly sucking on a chicken leg bone, said softly: "How about... waiting another three months??? "
Upon hearing this, Zeff's eyes instantly darkened: "No!! We can't wait even one more day!!
It's only been three months, and my little treasure trove has already shrunk by a third because of you eating!!! If it's another three months, never mind whether my little treasure trove can withstand it, one thing is for sure, my heart definitely won't be able to handle it!!!
Damn it, this guy is a real bottomless pit!!
Well then... okay...
Luffy looked outside pitifully and asked: "Are the food all packed for me?"
Zeff coldly snorted: "Don't worry, you little brat won't be short of it!! Five hundred chicken legs! One thousand smoked fish, and various kinds of sea creature meat. I've spared no expense, so you must make sure to bring Sanji!!!"
When Luffy arrived at the front hall of Baratie, Zoro, Usopp, and Buggy were already waiting here.
After three months of apprenticeship, Usopp's culinary talent turned out to be the most outstanding, barely obtaining a junior chef qualification from Zeff. As for the other three... let's not mention them!
Although reluctant, Sanji bid farewell to Luffy and the others.
During these three months, perhaps due to their similar ages, Sanji got along very well with Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp. After closing time every day, he would also go to the Going Merry with them to train.
Even his Armament Haki has reached a certain threshold
Now, he has to say goodbye to these newly made friends, and Sanji's heart is inevitably filled with sadness...
""
At this moment, Zeff walked out from behind, holding a thick rope in his hand.
Sanji frowned: "Old man, today is a farewell, why did you bring a rope???"
"Of course, it's useful" Zeff smirked and handed the rope to Luffy
Luffy took the rope and revealed a big grin
Splash!!
Conqueror's Haki suddenly released!!
Sanji's eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground...
"Zoro, Usopp!" Luffy shouted and handed the rope over.
Understood!!
Zoro took the rope and skillfully went up.
Usopp hesitated...
Huh? Why does this scene feel familiar???
However... when he started tying up Sanji together with Zoro, Usopp was surprised to find that doing this kind of thing was quite enjoyable!!
Soon, the two of them lifted Sanji up like a piece of wood.
"Uncle Zeff, goodbye!"
"Goodbye, take care of Sanji for us..."
"Don't worry, bye bye"
The screen with the red border gradually dimmed.
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Damn green seaweed head, are you a kidnapper over there? Getting addicted to tying people up!!!"
Roronoa Zoro: "This is just like the bounty hunter days, practice makes perfect"
Usopp: "Over there, I went from being tied up to tying people up..."
Shiki: "Gradually turning into a detestable appearance, huh? Kekkekkekke..."
Nami: "But speaking of which, that red-border Luffy over there is so smooth in commanding others, more like a captain than our Luffy"
Nico Robin: "Has anyone counted how many chickens legs Sanji is worth?"
Tony Tony Chopper: "18 chicken legs a day, for three months, that's 1620 chicken legs!"
Brook: "No, before leaving, Zeff also gave 500 chicken legs and 1000 smoked fish! If we only count the chicken legs, Sanji is worth 2120 chicken legs!!"
Roronoa Zoro: "So from now on, Sanji has a new name, the 2000 Chicken Legs Man!"
Monkey D. Luffy: "Ahahahaha!! 2000 Chicken Legs Man!"
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Hey hey hey! You bastards!!!"
Not long after
The screen with the white border gradually brightened
The Straw Hat Pirates arrived in Cocoyasi Village in batches.
After a series of coincidences, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp finally reunited, along with Johnny and Yosaku
Finally, they waited for Nami on the road that leads to Nami's house.
Seeing Luffy and his group appear, Nami stopped in her tracks, crossed her arms in front of her, spread her right leg, and looked at everyone with a cold gaze: "What are you here for?
Luffy got up from the ground, put on his straw hat, and casually said: "What are you talking about? You're our crewmate, of course we're here to take you back."
"Crewmate?"
A smirk appeared at the corner of Nami's mouth as she sneered: "That's really hilarious, it's just a boring alliance, isn't it"
As soon as these words came out, Luffy's face froze...
Sanji excitedly waved at Nami: "Hey! Miss Nami, it's me, do you remember me? Let's go on an adventure together!!"
Johnny quickly reminded: "Hey! Didn't I tell you? This guy is a witch! He's part of the Arlong Pirates!!"
Zoro also told Sanji to shut up, and as a result, the two of them started arguing
"You guys, stop acting all high and mighty! I'm only interested in the money on you, and right now, I have absolutely no interest in any of you. Leave this island immediately and find your own navigator to search for some great treasure"
Nami's tone was heavy and full of disdain!!!
However, Luffy just lay down on the ground...
After that, Yosaku and Johnny didn't want to provoke the Arlong Pirates, so they left first.
When Nami left, Nojiko appeared and told the Straw Hat Pirates about Nami's past.
But Luffy didn't want to listen and left directly.
Zoro fell asleep halfway through, only Sanji and Usopp listened with great interest.
"..So, starting from that day eight years ago, she never cried again, nor did she seek help from anyone.
"Because she didn't want to see innocent victims like our mother being killed by the Arlong anymore...
"For the sake of this trade that can save the village..., that's why she was willing to join forces with someone who killed her own family...
"Now..., she's almost saved up 100 million berries and is about to buy back the village from Arlong If at this time, because of you, Arlong suspects something, then all her efforts of the past eight years will be in vain!!"
"For her, enduring everything on her own is indeed very difficult, but it is even more painful for you guys, who call yourselves her companions, to appear here!"
"So..., please don't interfere with her affairs, don't make her suffer anymore!"
Trafalgar Law: "Nami, the Navigator, actually experienced such a tragic childhood?"
Tony Tony Chopper: "Nami, I feel so sorry for Nami... sob sob sob"
Franky: "Damn it!! Those fishmen are bastards!!!"
Jinbei: "It's Arlong..., damn it, he actually did such a despicable thing..., that bastard!!!"
When Jinbei joined the Shichibukai, he made several conditions to the Marines, one of which was to request the release of the fishman prisoner, Arlong.
Even though it was initially based on the camaraderie he had with the Arlong when they were on the same ship, he never expected that his decision would cause so much harm to humans...
Jewelry Bonney: "It's really infuriating! Where is the Marine at a time like this?"
Sakazuki: "You idiot! The Marines are not ignorant of everything!!! The news of what happened in such a remote place was blocked by those fishmen. How could the Marine possibly know?!"
Sengoku: "If the Marine knew about this, they definitely wouldn't just sit idly by!"
Tsuru: "The Marine represents justice, and pirates represent evil. Isn't that self-explanatory?"
Rocks D. Xebec: "Hahaha! Damn it, when it comes to shamelessness, I admire you old folks!!"
Shiki: "Kekahaha!!! That's absolutely right!"
Sengoku: "Hmph! What's the big deal about slandering others?! Show some evidence if you have any!! Otherwise, shut your dog mouths!!!"
"While Nojiko was telling Sanji and Usopp about Nami's situation, Luffy wandered alone into the village."
At this moment, a group of Marine soldiers led by Captain Nezumi appeared.
As soon as this group of Marine soldiers appeared, the chat room exploded.
Smoker: "Huh??? What's going on?? Why are there Marines here?"
Just now, from Nojiko account, the viewers learned that dozens of villages around here have been under the rule of the Arlong Pirates for eight years!!!
According to what Fleet Admiral Sengoku said, the Marines must not know about the situation here, otherwise they would never allow these pirates to continue their evil deeds!!!
However, at this moment, Marines appeared in Cocoyasi Village...
And it was Marines led by a Marine branch captain.
Smoker's breathing suddenly became rapid...
Could it be...?
Thinking of that possibility, Smoker felt his anger rise!
Hina: "This can't be... Something's not right with these Marines appearing here!"
Gion: "What on earth is going on??"
Gol D. Roger: "Hahaha! Sengoku, you wanted evidence, right? Well, here it is."
Shiki: "Kekahaha!!!"
