Sanji was perplexed.
With just a few words from Zeff and Luffy, was he sold?
Although he understands Zeff's intention, which is to let him go and pursue his own dreams.
But he still hasn't paid his debt of gratitude!
"Wait! I..."
"Patty," shouted Zeff, "get rid of this good-for-nothing, throw out all your belongings."
"Yes, boss!"
A chef named Patty immediately walked over, smiling, and grabbed Sanji's arm.
"Hurry up and get out of here, Sanji. You've been fired, the deputy boss position is mine now!"
"Patty, you bitch! Let go of me now!"
"Carl, come help me, this kid is hard to deal with!"
"Oh!"
Another chef approached, and the two of them together grabbed Sanji and dragged him away.
The Straw Hat crew was a little confused.
Luffy laughed, "Is it necessary to do this? And what about his will?"
"This guy's cooking skills haven't improved in a long time. Keeping him here is just a waste of his talents."
Zeff shook his head.
About 9 years ago, his ship suffered a disaster.
In that disaster, he sacrificed a leg and saved a little boy.
He later returned to East Blue and created Baratie, a floating restaurant.
And the little boy, because of the gratitude at that time, stayed here to learn cooking skills.
In the blink of an eye, so many years passed.
[A/N: Explanation for idiots.]
"He has his dreams, there is no reason to stop a man from pursuing his dreams!"
Zeff retorted from his reminiscences, "Straw Hat Luffy, by taking you away, you did me a great favor. Are you going back to the Grand Line now?"
"To go back?"
"Aren't you Grand Line pirates?"
Zeff was surprised.
"I was about to go there. Why do you ask?"
"I was sure you were from the Grand Line, especially after seeing your fight with Dracule Mihawk."
Zeff said in surprise.
After all, he had never heard of the Straw Hat Pirates.
If they were an East Blue pirate crew, they would have already made a name for themselves.
"Since you're going to the Grand Line, then go through Logue Town."
As he spoke, Zeff took out a logbook.
"This is my old logbook, from a year sailing the Grand Line. This should be useful to you. As thanks for taking that idiot away, I'll give this to you."
"No need, as for thanking, I've already received enough."
Luffy waved his hand and laughed.
As for the logbook, he didn't need it.
If you were told exactly where the legendary One Piece was, that would be a blessing!
Upon hearing this, Zeff was momentarily stunned, then laughed, "So this is what they call the composure of a strong person? For you, the Grand Line is not a treacherous sea, is it? I hope to hear your names spread across the world in the future , I hope to see you back in East Blue.
"I'm not going to die. Thank you for your hospitality, Boss Zeff."
Luffy stood up, casually picked up an unopened bottle of wine.
"Guys, let's go, time to head to the final stop before the Grand Line!"
Everyone got up and followed him.
Zoro pointed to himself, "Wait, I haven't eaten yet."
"Here, I saved you a bottle." Luffy threw the bottle at him.
One by one, everyone left the restaurant, and the two wanted criminals were also taken to the Merry.
Soon, everyone was ready to set sail at any moment.
Luffy, Nami and the girls were on the Sunny, while Zoro, Usopp and the others waited on the Merry.
"These are years of grudges, Sanji, hurry up and get out of here!"
With a roar from Patty, Sanji was thrown from the second floor.
Then there was another big bag of luggage.
"You bastards...!"
Sanji looked up at the second floor, taking in the restaurant, lost in thought for a moment.
Finally, he picked up a large bag of luggage and headed towards the pirate ship.
"Damn, I've wanted to leave for a long time. The thought of not having to look at your stupid faces anymore makes me so happy."
Sanji lit a cigarette and as soon as he looked up and saw Nami, Kaya and Nojiko, he immediately showed a loving expression.
"Miss Nami, I'm here!"
He jumped excitedly.
Luffy got up and kicked Sanji into the Merry before he landed.
"That over there is the Ship of men."
Sanji, who was kicked into the Merry, covered his face in confusion and suddenly shouted furiously.
"Luffy, you bastard, why are you on that ship! Damn, I'm so jealous!"
"Because I'm the captain."
Luffy laughed, "Don't you want to say goodbye to Zeff?"
Upon hearing this, Sanji slowly calmed down.
"No need."
"Really? Then... Let's set sail!"
The two ships spread their sails and slowly set sail.
Zeff walked to the restaurant door, looked at Sanji and smiled gently.
"Don't catch a cold, Sanji."
With just a simple sentence of "don't catch a cold", Sanji's emotions exploded, memories of over ten years flooding his mind.
Tears were streaming down his face, he turned around and knelt down, screaming loudly.
"Boss Zeff, I am truly grateful for your care all these years! I will never forget your kindness!"
With emotional roars, he instantly infected everyone.
Zoro drank his sake and laughed, "It's really ugly to see a grown man crying."
"I will definitely kill you, you green seaweed head!"
Sanji cried as he threatened Zoro.
Luffy laughed a lot.
"Nishishishi~ Set sail!! Our destination is Logue Town!"
------
Luffy received 600 adventure points for recruiting Sanji.
Including Zoro's awakening reward from before, Luffy's adventure coin balance has now reached a surprising value...
1755!
"It's only 2200 for 11 Haki fruits, I'm almost there."
Finally having some free time to organize his winnings, Luffy sat on the bow of the Sunny, flipping through the system panel.
He also got a look at Zoro's new ability.
[Indomitable Will]: Possessing an iron will, this crew member is difficult to defeat and will achieve twice the results in training. This effect will be lost if he leaves the crew.]
"In simple terms, does this speed up the training process?"
Luffy scratched his chin, this buff was really good, why didn't he have one?
Well, if he didn't have it, he didn't have it.
Your strength all came from your hard work and effort!
------
Several days later.
Logue Town, Navy Base.
"Vice Admiral Garp!"
The base captain, Smoker, seemed shocked at the intruder.
"Hahaha, don't mind me, I'm just here to wait for a stupid brat!"
Garp placed a photo on the table, "Let me know immediately when you see this brat."
Smoker looked down.
In the photo there was a boy wearing a straw hat.
