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

We can't let the bunny-eared girl catch a cold.

but......

"Sanji, Gatlo is a Mink, this will only make her uncomfortable," Chopper kindly reminded him.

Sanji paused,

With a smooth turn, he put his suit jacket back on.

Then, as if he had just noticed her running fast, he looked at her with a puzzled expression.

It seems they are trying to determine whether she is a boy or a girl?

"I don't need your protection! Please don't treat me like a girl!" The tough-looking Barbie ran fast, waving her hands repeatedly.

Sanji's love is still too hard to bear.

"Is this also a Mink lady? She really is... well... the food is quite good."

"Hehe, you probably don't recognize her, do you?" Usopp put his arm around Sanji's shoulder and said cheekily, "...This is Run Fast! The duck you called 'spare rations'."

Sanji: "!!!"

Although he has been gone for a year, in reality only a day has passed, right?

or......

"Could it be that there was a problem with the Time and Spirit House teleportation stone this time, and a year has passed here as well?" Sanji boldly speculated.

Otherwise, how could things have changed so much?

"Alright, Sanji just got back, stop teasing him." Sima Di said irritably, "Someone explain this to Sanji. Robin, settle Gatlo in an empty room."

“I’ll do it, ooh—” Franky said, “This is a long story, it starts after you left…”

During the explanation,

Everyone returned to the kitchen, where Luffy was enjoying a hearty meal.

After Sanji finished explaining the whole story, he was also filled with emotion!

"The Mink Tribe was also created by the Great Kingdom?" Sanji exclaimed in surprise. "Giants, dwarves, and now the Mink Tribe... could it be that all these races of the sea were created by the Great Kingdom from humans in their research for longevity potions?"

"I must say, it's quite possible," Sima Di agreed.

In no mood......

Crocus has revealed a secret!

?炷 ...

One more monthly pass needed for an extra chapter!

44. Steal the bride! Take down Big Mom! Become one of the Four Emperors!

“During my last trip, I encountered an evil physician who used an entire island as a testing ground,” Crocus recalled. “Now it seems that it’s not impossible that the Great Kingdom came to our world from outer space specifically for the longevity potion.”

Robin did not hide most of the information about the Great Kingdom.

So, as everyone knows...

The giant kingdom is not actually inhabited by natives, but comes from the moon in the sky.

“Old man Crocus’s guess isn’t impossible!” Usopp nodded seriously.

"Hey, don't act like you know everything," Zoro retorted.

"Yohohoho—what a chilling speculation! Although I'm a skeleton, I have neither heart nor courage! Yohohoho—"

...

After a brief discussion, the topic returned to the present.

"Sanji, how's it going this time?" Jinbe asked.

Everyone looked over.

Sanji smiled confidently upon hearing this.

"This time... we both gained a lot!"

"brush--"

The jet-black Armament Haki enveloped Sanji's entire body, covering him completely!

A signature move of advanced Armament Haki!

Simultaneously,

Judging from the color of this Armament Haki, it has probably reached its peak and is about to break through to the top level of Armament Haki, right?

"My dual-color Haki is already at an advanced level, and I've almost fully digested the new Gas-Gas Fruit. If I were to face a Marine Admiral again, I believe I could hold him off for a while!" Sanji said confidently.

"Not bad, high-level dual-color Haki, plus the Logia-type Gas-Gas Fruit, further enhanced by the Clear-Clear Fruit, the future looks promising." Sima Di nodded in agreement.

He's definitely a candidate for general.

Just let it settle a little longer.

It is also possible to break through the combat power of the Yonko's vice-president, or even the admiral and the Yonko!

The future is expected.

Everyone looked at Luffy, who was eating meat with gusto. What did you get?

"Uh-huh--"

When Luffy was stuffed full of meat, he said things that even the most learned Robin couldn't understand.

Only......

The royal translator, Brooke, was an exception.

"Yo ho ho ho—really?"

"No no no!"

"Wow, that's amazing!"

"No no no."

"Yo..."

"Oh!"

Sima Di slammed his hand on the table, staring dangerously at Brooke.

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'm going to try and see if a skeleton can get pregnant," Sima Di said irritably.

You're just sitting there eating melon seeds all by yourself, what about us?

"Yohohoho—that's terrifying!" Brook hurriedly said, "Luffy said that his three types of Haki are all advanced, and he has also developed unexpected techniques with the Nika Fruit. However, he senses that it will consume a lot of life force, so he has not dared to use it."

Extremely depletes life force?

Sima Di's eyes flashed!

Could it be...

Yes.

With Joy Boy's Nika Devil Fruit development diary, it's not impossible that Luffy could awaken the Nika Devil Fruit ahead of time.

"Then you'll have a good chance to show your skills this time," Sima Di said with a smile. "I think everyone understands about this operation, right?"

“Of course!” Usopp raised his hand and said, “Steal the bride! Beat Big Omega! Become one of the Four Emperors!”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Obviously,

Although Sima Di repeatedly claimed that he wanted to join forces with Big Om, and even threatened the Mink Tribe to pledge allegiance to the Big Om Pirates.

But everyone knows what Sima Di was really up to.

Apart from......

"Huh?" Shirahoshi asked in confusion, "Isn't this an alliance with Big Omega? Sanji is even going to marry Big Omega's daughter... Is this really a good idea?"

Sima Di did not explain, but looked at Sanji.

"pat-"

Sanji lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled a long smoke ring.

"I haven't smoked for almost half a month, and I'm really missing it," Sanji laughed. "Let's put the wedding aside for now, but... this time I'm going to reclaim my lost childhood!"

It seems that compared to BIG?OM,

Sanji wanted to prove to his family, to his father Judge, that he was wrong—that emotions don't hinder people from becoming stronger; on the contrary, they are a greater driving force.

"Alright then." Sima Di set the tone: "This time, the main character will be Sanji. We must make sure that blind father knows how outrageously wrong his choice was. Does everyone have any objections?"

"Hmph! Let that perverted cook steal the spotlight this time," Zoro, Zoro's arch-rival, declared first.

"Haha! Of course!" Luffy finally swallowed the meat.
