Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"Sanji, aren't you welcoming your brothers?"

Ichi stood at the bow of the ship, a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "We came here especially to welcome you."

"meet?"

Sanji lit a cigarette. "Our relationship isn't that good."

"How could that be?"

Niji laughed and said, "We heard that you joined the Straw Hat Pirates and became a member of the Emperor of the Sea, so we came here to congratulate you."

"No need, I have nothing to say to you."

"Don't be so cold."

Ichiji's gaze passed over Sanji and landed on Luffy. "Your captain is quite the big shot, but he was almost poisoned to death just now. The rumors from the outside world don't seem to be as true as they seem..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying pressure erupted from the Sunny.

"Even if you're Sanji's family, you can't just say things like that."

Luffy walked forward step by step and looked at Ichiji and the others. "Sanji is my crewmate, but you guys aren't."

Simply put, I'm not familiar with you guys.

For Yamaji, good family members are friends, but bad family members are no different from enemies.

The terrifying Conqueror's Haki locked onto the group, and Ichiji and the others, who had been expressionless, finally changed their expressions, their backs already drenched in sweat.

The majesty of the Sea Emperor cannot be defied.

Ichi quickly said, "It was just a joke, there's no need to be so nervous."

Reiju glared at him. Sometimes, even as an older sister, she felt helpless when faced with several emotionless younger brothers. Luffy didn't seem as intimidating as Kaido or Big Mom, but it was precisely this kind of person who was more terrifying.

"Well, we're all friends."

Reiju apologized to her younger brothers, "I'm sorry, we didn't mean any harm. They just have some mental issues and talk nonsense."

Luffy smiled and withdrew his Conqueror's Haki from Yonji and the others, at least showing some respect to Reiju.

Nami asked, "Since you're also going to the tea party, would you like to come along?"

Want to go together?

Yonji and the others glanced at Luffy with lingering fear.

That guy seems harmless, but when he gets serious, he's incredibly intimidating.

Ichi refused, saying, "No need, we Germa 66 have our own routes."

Reiju smiled and said, "Then I'll stay."

The Ichi brothers had no objections; no matter what Reiju thought, she would not disobey her father's orders.

The snail ship turned around and quickly disappeared into the white mist, leaving only Reiju on the Sunny.

"Aren't you going with them?" Sanji asked.

I want to spend more time with you.

Reiju smiled and said, "It's been so many years since we last met, don't you want to chat with your older sister?"

Sanji couldn't help but roll his eyes. He had already said that he came here to resolve the matter of the arranged marriage. Although the photo of the marriage partner was quite nice, his goal was the legendary ALL BLUE!

How could I possibly stay for a mere woman!

Reiju ultimately stayed on the Sunny.

This decision was neither unexpected nor surprising. After all, as the only member of the Vinsmoke family who had goodwill towards Sanji, she certainly had reason to stay and spend more time with her brother whom she hadn't seen for many years.

"So you just left your family behind and came to mingle with the enemy?"

Nami looked at Reiju, who was leisurely leaning back on a deck chair, her tone tinged with wariness.

Although she is Sanji's sister, she is still a member of Germa 66, and Germa 66 is currently the marriage partner of the Big Mom Pirates.

"enemy?"

Reiju smiled, crossing her long legs. "When did we become enemies? There's no deep-seated hatred between the Straw Hat Pirates and Germa 66."

"You must marry into the Big Mom family."

"That was my father's decision, it has nothing to do with me."

Reiju shrugged. "And to be honest, I don't think this marriage is a good match. Big Mom wants Germa 66's technological power, and Father wants the protection of a Yonko. It's just a matter of each side getting what they need."

Nobody knows how long this marriage of interests can last.

Reiju has a pretty clear understanding of this.

Trying to negotiate with a tiger for its skin might only result in being bitten by it later. This old lady is capable of killing even her own children, let alone just an ally.

Sanji stood to the side, his expression complicated.

He had conflicted feelings for his older sister, Reiju, who was the only one who had given him warmth during his childhood. However, she was also a member of the Vinsmoke family and part of that cold-blooded and ruthless scientific combat force.

"Don't look at me like that, Sanji."

Reiju seemed to see through her brother's thoughts, and her tone softened a bit, "I know you have resentment towards the Vinsmoke family, which is normal, but I am still your older sister, and that will not change."

Sanji was silent for a moment, then finally lit a cigarette. "I know."

Shirahoshi and the others, however, showed no wariness towards this new guest. Instead, they eagerly approached and asked, "Is all of this Germa 66's technology?"

When she was sucking, Reiju's wings changed, which was amazing. Reiju was naturally happy to introduce her abilities to everyone. As the eldest daughter of the Vinsmoke family, she was not just a pretty face.

Having undergone bloodline factor modification, she possesses physical attributes and poison resistance far exceeding those of ordinary people, making her a top-tier fighter in Germa 66.

And so, the Sunny continued its journey toward Whole Cake Island, and the surrounding waters gradually became more lively.

From time to time, you can see pirate ships flying various flags passing by, some big and some small, some small fry from the New World and some notorious villains.

Without exception, these ships would give way or even change course from a distance when they saw the iconic straw hat and skull flag on the Sunny.

The title of "Emperor of the Sea" carries considerable weight on this vast ocean.

"Looks like we're quite popular."

Usopp stood at the bow of the ship, watching the pirate ships scatter and flee, and couldn't help but puff out his chest.

Chopper couldn't help but say, "They're scared, aren't they?"

"I never imagined that I, your great master, would have such a deterrent effect."

"Isn't that because they're afraid of Luffy?"

Nami ignored the bickering between the two and instead frowned as she stared at the nautical chart, saying, "At our current speed, we'll be at Whole Cake Island soon."

"Could you hurry up? I want to eat cake."

All you ever think about is eating!

Nami rolled her eyes. "Big Mom's tea party isn't just about eating cake. We're facing a full Yonko pirate crew, tens of thousands of soldiers, and those underworld emperors. Can't you be a little nervous?"

"I can't get nervous. It's not like I haven't fought the Four Emperors before."

Nami: "......"

She actually found some truth in what he said.

"Sanji, is there anything to eat?"

Luffy stretched and stood up.

"Didn't we just finish eating that fish?!"

"Sanji, you underestimate my appetite."

Sanji, grumbling and cursing, went to continue preparing food with Frye, who was laughing beside him. It has to be said that Frye's arrival on the ship was a huge help; otherwise, preparing food for Luffy by himself would have been exhausting.

As they gradually came into view of the surrounding islands, Shirahoshi and the others developed a deep curiosity.

Shirahoshi couldn't help but ask, "By the way, what's Whole Cake Island like?"

Reiju knew a bit about it and said, "It's said to be a giant cake-shaped island, built entirely with desserts and candies, and one of Big Mom's most prized territories."

"Desserts and candies?!"

Chopper's eyes lit up. "Wouldn't that be delicious?!"

"The problem is that many of those desserts and candies are Big Mom's Homies, which means they're all alive."

Chopper's expression froze instantly.

"A live...live dessert?"

"Yes, the kind that moves and makes noise."

Vivi nodded.

Usopp trembled. "That's terrifying."

"Aren't you the sniper king? What are you afraid of?"

Just as the group was chatting and laughing, the Sunny suddenly shook violently.

"what happened?"

Nami immediately became alert and looked towards the sea.

In the distance, the sea waves became unusually turbulent, and dark clouds began to gather in the sky.

Weiwei frowned and said, "Something's not right. The weather changed too suddenly."

Nami took out the Log Pose and looked at it. "The direction is right, but the weather here is definitely abnormal."

Luffy walked over from the side, then looked into the distance with a look of interest on his face. "Here she comes. Is that Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a huge figure suddenly appeared on the sea ahead.
