The person is wearing a straw hat, and starts with the power of words!

He then activated the invisibility fruit to conceal his form. For safety, he did not choose Moonwalk, but instead transformed into an element and flew towards the opposite ship.

"Ok?"

Sima Di glanced over subconsciously, and the others on the deck also looked over.

"Huh? I can't see Sanji's spot anymore?" Usopp asked, puzzled.

"I can't detect it either. Is my Observation Haki level too low?" Laboon scratched his head.

“That’s weird, me too!” Chopper said.

......

Yes!

Neither their eyes nor their Observation Haki could detect Sanji.

Sima Di switched to mental energy scanning and was able to detect a wisp of gas imbued with mental energy floating in the air.

Never expected it!

"It's the fusion of the Invisibility Fruit and the Gas Fruit that caused the chemical reaction," Sima Di said. "When Sanji transforms into his elemental form, he's just a cloud of gas, which is why Observation Haki can't detect him... In the past, he could still distinguish things by color, but the Invisibility Fruit has made up for that one flaw."

This is undoubtedly an epic upgrade for Sanji, whose main fighting strength is close combat!

Look at Usopp,

His face turned ugly after hearing this, because it meant that he would be completely under Sanji's thumb for the rest of his life.

—To be precise, all snipers will be completely outmatched by Sanji!

After all, no matter how skilled a sniper is, they still need to be able to spot their opponent!

"Haha—this is so funny!" Luffy laughed.

"Usopp, don't look so grumpy. Sanji is our partner," Robin teased.

"I was just thinking... I wonder if I'll have to face enemies like this in the future?" Usopp said bitterly.

This caused everyone to burst into laughter!

"What are you laughing at? I'm serious!" Usopp said unhappily.

“Usopp, do you think everyone has an Emperor? Or a Devil Fruit compatibility potion?” Crocus said bluntly.

Usopp suddenly realized!

Yes!

Sanji's overpowered ability is actually that he is a dual Devil Fruit user. Besides the Straw Hat Pirates, could there be other dual Devil Fruit users on this sea?

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and focused his attention on the merchant ship.

Sanji didn't disturb anyone; one by one, the figures fell down and fell fast asleep.

That was due to inhaling too much gas, causing brain hypoxia and resulting in a coma.

Silently

Sanji defeated all the enemies.

He revealed himself standing on the edge of the boat, waving to the crowd.

but......

"Idiot! There are people down below the cabin!"

"A sure kill??? Cicada??"

With lightning speed, Usopp used his slingshot, and Franky's specially made armor-piercing projectile shot through the hull of the merchant ship, aiming to blow the head off the person rushing towards the child!

"Hmph! When it really matters, you still have to rely on me!" Usopp said, hands on his hips.

So what if you can turn invisible?

There are still oversights!

"Usopp is amazing!" Merry cheered enthusiastically.

"Usopp is the best!" Chopper slapped his hoof.

but......

“Usopp, you’re getting cocky too soon,” Crocus said abruptly.

Usopp noticed that the people in the cabin hadn't been shot in the head, so he drew a knife and cleaved his armor-piercing bullet in two.

"Some strength!"

Usopp was about to deliver the finishing blow,

Enraged, Sanji had already stormed into the cabin and was fighting with the others.

To avoid hurting the child,

Sanji unleashed his power, kicking those people out of the cabin, crashing through the deck and into the sea, and then using Moonwalk to chase after them!

—You actually made me lose face?! I'll kick you to death!

Sima Di looked at the figure in the air and immediately recognized him as "Kin'emon," a retainer of the Kozuki family who protected Momonosuke.

Simultaneously,

Kin'emon is also a formidable dual-wielding swordsman, skilled in the "Foxfire Style," which can cut through flames.

If it were a head-on fight, Sanji would probably have to put in a lot of effort.

but......

"Puff-"

"Gululu——"

Kin'emon fell into the sea, thrashed around a few times, and then sank to the bottom.

He is a user of the "Clothing-Clothing Fruit," which allows him to transform any object into clothes of his imagination.

So it's not wrong for them to drown in the sea, right?

Sanji was also somewhat surprised.

However, since he was also a Devil Fruit user, he couldn't go into the ocean to vent his anger, so he just sullenly jumped back onto the deck using Moonwalk.

"You perverted cook, even two Devil Fruits can't save you from your stupidity." Zoro never misses an opportunity to tease Sanji.

"I'm in a bad mood right now, don't bother me!"

"So what?"

"Damn it! Making baseless accusations!"

"Dugu Nine Swords"

......

The two continued to playfully fight.

Sima Di, however, looked at Kin'emon sinking into the sea without any intention of rescuing him.

Kin'emon was quite the notorious hoodlum when he was young!

As for being loyal and protecting them...

They're just repaying kindness with their salaries.

[Ding! Congratulations on signing in to the famous scene "The 20-Year Prophecy of the Savior Who Died Before His Mission Was Accomplished!", you have received the sign-in reward "Kin'emon's Strong Physique"!]

----------

His physical strength and Armament Haki have increased slightly.

It was an unexpected bonus.

The Straw Hat Pirates have jumped onto the merchant ship and rescued the imprisoned children.

among them,

A bald child with a topknot ran crying to Robin for a hug, and Robin, caught off guard, knelt down to comfort the frightened little guy.

(▼へ▼メ)

Peach! Helper! !!

You're asking for it!!!

【roll! 】

Just as Momonosuke was about to grab Robin, he was suddenly slapped away and crashed hard onto the edge of the ship, nearly falling into the sea.

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone!
