Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

"At first, he was hostile and sarcastic, like a fighting cock."

Sanji imagined the scene and laughed so hard he almost fell over.

"Haha, I never expected that the two of them could be so childish."

"Later, I don't know what happened, but we put our arms around each other and cried our eyes out."

Sanji stared wide-eyed, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

"No way, this change is too drastic. Could he have drunk too much?"

"Later, when things got really heated, they took off their clothes and started fighting."

Reiju said helplessly, which made Sanji laugh until tears streamed down his face.

"The plot development is even more outrageous than the adventure movies I've watched."

Just then, Judge, his face bruised and swollen, walked over and suddenly said something to Sanji.

"If you don't want to, let's go home!"

Then, sensing something was off, he turned and left.

This left the three brothers, Red, Blue, and Green, so astonished that their jaws nearly dropped to the floor.

Sanji paused for a moment, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside him, but he quickly regained his nonchalant demeanor.

"Hey, has Old Deng changed his ways?"

……

Meanwhile, Caesar's side is also full of exciting developments.

As planned, Sanji handed Caesar over to the Big Mom Pirates as a "package," along with a "heart."

Of course, it's fake.

It was obtained by Luo from that guy named Sipshead in the Gifters' Group.

Caesar kept muttering to himself along the way: "How embarrassing it is for me, Caesar, to be given away as a gift."

Since spending time with the Straw Hat crew, and with Usopp's incredible persuasive skills, Caesar is now preoccupied with reflecting on his past mistakes.

Caesar was among the top three in the world in scientific research; apart from Vegapunk and the Wall, no one could rival him.

If it weren't for those ridiculous orders from the World Government, he wouldn't be stuck on that crappy island researching those useless things.

Caesar muttered to himself as he was led before Big Mom.

Big Mom looked at Caesar with the same gaze she would give a handy tool, and began to speak of her terrible ambitions and dreams.

"I want to turn everyone into giants so that everyone in the world can live together equally."

Caesar's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

"This old woman's idea is too crazy."

Then, the woman revealed the true purpose of Punk Hazard's cruel human experiments.

It turns out that all of this was orchestrated by certain individuals within the World Government.

She used Caesar to facilitate her deal with Kaido.

In their eyes, Caesar was nothing more than a useful tool.

"No wonder I always felt that someone was controlling everything behind the scenes. Now I understand."

Caesar thought to himself.

Of course, this is also why he stayed with the Straw Hat crew.

In front of the older woman, Caesar put on his superb acting skills, his face plastered with a fawning smile.

“My mom, your idea is so great, I will definitely support you with all my might.”

The old woman looked at Caesar and snorted coldly.

"You'd better be, or you'll be in big trouble."

"I definitely am, I must be!"

Fortunately, Caesar's performance actually fooled everyone.

The woman only threatened him a few times before having the Candy Minister take him away.

Upon arriving at Whole Cake Island, Caesar could hardly believe his eyes; before him stood a research facility exactly like the one he had in Punk Hazard.

Even the blueprints for the potion were prepared by the Candy Minister who held his "heart".

"This old lady is so thoughtful, she arranged everything so clearly for me."

Caesar thought to himself, but outwardly he went out of his way to please the Minister of Candy.

"Wow, sir, your efficiency is amazing! I, Caesar, will follow you from now on."

When facing the Minister of Candy, a user of the Lick-Lick Fruit, Caesar went all out with his emotional appeal, showering him with flattery.

It even seemed so real that it didn't feel like an act; he himself almost believed he had genuinely pledged allegiance.

"My lord, your Devil Fruit ability is amazing. If I had your ability, I would definitely be able to develop something even more powerful."

As Caesar spoke, he secretly observed the surrounding situation.

He was plotting how to save his life in this dangerous place, and also how to escape the old woman's control.

He was outwardly respectful to the Minister of Candy, but inwardly he was complaining.

“This barren and desolate place is dangerous everywhere. I don’t want to stay here and be their tool forever.”

However, for now, he can only go along with the old lady and the candy minister, and take it one step at a time.

……

Sanji is still dealing with Pudding.

While chatting with Brin with his signature gentlemanly smile, he was secretly thinking about how to get out of this arranged marriage.

"Miss Brin, you're so beautiful, how could you possibly want to marry a cook like me?"

Sanji said, half-jokingly.

Brin smiled but did not answer.

Sanji knew in his heart that Big Mom must be plotting something behind this, but he didn't want to be manipulated so easily.

"Hmph, you think you can make me behave? Not so easy."

Meanwhile, Luffy and his crew are still fighting against the Big Mom Pirates...

No, Cracker is fighting.

……

Chapter 193 Brulee is captured again, and Jinbe and Bege devise a plan!

Charlotte Brûlée ran away.

He darted into the mirror with a "whoosh" and refused to come out no matter what.

They also conveniently "packed" Carrot and Chopper as hostages.

This unexpected move infuriated Nami.

Fanny glanced at it, and a wicked smile crept onto his lips.

"A space-type ability user? That's totally my cup of tea."

With that, he snapped his fingers nonchalantly, and the alternate dimension instantly unfolded.

The way it looked made it seem like it could shred Brulee and the mirror into pieces at any moment.

Just when everyone thought Brûlée was going to be in trouble, Fanny suddenly stopped what she was doing and waved her hand.

"Forget it, let Chopper and Carrot handle it themselves."

Nami, standing to the side, immediately saw through Fanny's thoughts.

She smiled and shook her head, not revealing anything, but instead pulled Bond aside to chat about everyday matters, occasionally trying to extract information about Big Mom.

"Uncle Bond, do you think Auntie has any particular hobbies lately?"

"When I'm traveling, I have to bring her a little 'gift' to show my respect."

Nami blinked her big eyes and asked innocently.

Bond was amused by her appearance and laughed heartily as he spoke.

"You little rascal, you're really cunning, but your auntie..."

The two chatted casually, seemingly relaxed, but in reality, they were both preparing for their next move.

Meanwhile, Luffy rushed off to catch Sanji, only to run into Pudding on the way.

Luffy walked over casually and reached out to say hello.

"Hey, Pudding, have you seen Sanji?"

But Pudding looked at him as if he were a stranger, her face blank.

Luffy was completely bewildered and scratched his head.

"That's strange, why don't you recognize me? Did that old lady cast some kind of spell on you?"

Without thinking twice, Luffy reached out to grab Pudding and take her back to get some answers.

Little did they know, this arrest would lead to a huge problem.

Luffy is like a child who has accidentally wandered into a pile of toys, and the more he grabs, the more he gets.

Not only did they capture Pudding, but they also inexplicably captured Chopper and Carrot.

He even "caught" Nami, who was chatting with him.

Luffy said smugly, "Haha, look, I've found everyone."

The next second, he was brutally beaten up by Nami.

"Luffy, where are your eyes? Look closely, I haven't moved an inch!"
