Angel investor in the One Piece world

"Brother Damian!"

Sanji looked at Damian with unprecedented excitement and anticipation.

"You rascal!"

Barto couldn't help but complain, "That's too realistic."

He had such a nonchalant expression just a moment ago, but as soon as his dreams were mentioned, he immediately became incredibly enthusiastic.

"But is this really possible?"

Paddy, lying on the ground, tilted his head, somewhat incredulous. "Invisibility is hard to believe in itself, let alone using technology to achieve the same effect as a Devil Fruit..."

"Patty! Don't question your big brother!"

Bartolomeo glared at him instantly.

Paddy quickly lowered his head again to pretend to be an ostrich.

This guy idolizes his older brother way too much!

"The greatest thing about this world is that it always surpasses our understanding."

Damian smiled and pulled a gun from his suit pocket. "Things you would never believe might just be quietly existing somewhere in the world."

"oh!"

Sanji's eyes lit up once again.

"Mirage Gun".

Damian raised his gun and aimed it at Paddy, who was lying on the ground. "It can emit a special kind of bubble that creates a special mirage by refracting light, thus achieving the effect of invisibility."

Snapped.

Specially designed firearms activated.

"Wow!"

Paddy, who instinctively looked up, screamed in fright.

But the bullet had already hit him.

The bullet, composed of tiny bubbles, shattered instantly and then expanded, becoming a large bubble that just enveloped his entire body.

then.

"Um!"

Sanji's eyes widened suddenly.

The moment the bubble formed, Paddy had already disappeared from his sight.

"No way?"

Carne rubbed his eyes in disbelief. "Gone?"

He instinctively reached out and groped forward, "Patty, are you still there?"

But as he approached the spot where Paddy had originally been, his own hand disappeared.

"Mmm..."

Some strange groans were heard.

Then came Paddy's scream, "You bastard! Where are you touching?!"

Carne, who instinctively withdrew his hand, paused for a moment, then smiled wickedly, "Paddy, that's it?"

"You bastard!"

He was tackled by an invisible person.

Sanji, meanwhile, just stared blankly at Karne, who was fighting the Invisible Man.

"The specially designed bubbles possess extraordinary resilience; unless they come into contact with a sharp object, are torn violently, or are exposed to high temperatures, they are generally difficult to break."

Damian explained, "A single bubble can last for about ten minutes, and the entire gun can store ten rounds of ammunition."

"When the ammunition runs out, it can be reloaded by adding seawater."

This gun is a byproduct of Damian's research on Vegapunk's bubble gun, which can imprison Devil Fruit users.

It's not something that can be done by those with superpowers for now. Vegapunk probably added seastone to it, but the bubbles are still quite simple to make.

Knowing he was going to see Sanji, Damian stopped the ship in the air and spent half an hour making the gun.

It seems to be working well now, and it's ready for mass production.

"This...this..."

Sanji's voice was trembling.

"Mr. Sanji, what do you think of this gift?"

Damian smiled and handed the gun to Sanji.

As if welcoming some sacred object, Sanji bowed ninety degrees to Damian, raised his hands, and respectfully accepted the gun from Damian's hands.

"My life,"

When Sanji looked up again, tears streaming down his face like noodles welled up in his eyes. "I have no regrets!"

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and shot himself.

There is a kind of resolute determination to sacrifice oneself.

There was a loud cracking sound.

Sanji has disappeared.

"Haha! I'm invisible! I'm invisible! Hehe, women's bathhouse..."

"idiot!"

The boss of Zeff seemed rather disappointed in him.

How could Sanji be an idiot?

Damian was the first to disagree with this.

Because a sound like celestial music was already ringing in his ears.

[Ding! Received rebate: Vinsmoke Bloodline Factor - Speed ​​(extractable)!]

It deserves the reward of a Golden Legend!

Looking up at the enormous tree that was rising vigorously in the dazzling golden light, its size far surpassing that of Barati, yet still visible, Damian couldn't help but smile.

This must be the bloodline factor that Sanji possesses, right?

The accompanying ability is speed.

Honestly, it's much more practical than his other siblings' lightning, fire, and poison attacks.

"extract."

Damian murmured to himself.

The next instant, the body underwent a sudden change.

Damian could clearly feel something growing under his skin.

That is an exoskeleton, a terrifying talent that, once fully developed, grants defensive capabilities comparable to those of the Lunaria race.

Moreover, even more dramatic changes were taking place deeper within Damian's body.

Strength, stamina, and recovery ability are all rapidly increasing.

However, the biggest improvement was in speed; Damian could clearly feel his body becoming lighter.

With a single thought, all sensations quickly faded, and the body returned to its original state.

Like Sanji, Damian's bloodline factor is activated when he wants to use it and deactivated when he doesn't.

This is good; otherwise, if the skin became harder than steel, there would be too many inconveniences.

Damian smiled broadly.

Bloodline factors can be strengthened through training, and Sanji's abilities are much stronger than those of his brothers and sisters.

In other words, this is just the beginning.

In short,

Boss Zeff sighed. "Let's have a banquet to welcome our guests."

This is the established procedure.

It was called a banquet, but in reality, only Zeff, Sanji, Damian, and Bartolomeo participated, since it was still business hours and there were many customers.

It must be said that, as expected of a restaurant renowned in the East China Sea, the food at Barati is quite delicious, certainly no less than that of Damian's own private chef.

This is without Zeff and Sanji personally intervening.

While eating, Damian glanced at Sanji, who was grinning foolishly while holding the Mirage Gun.

It was clear that he was very excited after his wish came true.

Stop looking, curl your eyebrows!

Seeing his attitude, Barto slammed his hand on the table in annoyance. "You're being incredibly disrespectful to your elder brother!"

"Who said that! Damian is my older brother too!"

Sanji didn't even look up. "I will never forget this kindness!"

"Then at least lift your head up!"

Barto roared, "If you like this gun so much, why don't you join the Moretti family? Big Brother has plenty of these weird weapons!"

As he spoke, he seemed to think it was a great suggestion, his eyes lighting up. "That's right! Curly Eyebrows, why don't you come too? We'll be heading to the Grand Line soon! All Blue is definitely there!"

Upon hearing this, the boss of Zhepu paused slightly.

"ALL BLUE..."

Sanji finally raised his head, his face showing a mixture of expectation and hesitation.

"And Fishman Island is also on the Grand Line!"

Bartolomew pressed his advantage, revealing Sanji's third dream: "Don't you want to go see Fishman Island?"

"Now that we can become invisible, shouldn't we go to Fishman Island even more?"

"Gulp!"

Sanji's expression visibly changed. He swallowed hard, his face flushed, as if he were lost in some strange fantasy. "Mermaids, indeed, are humanity's dream, a unique treasure... Invisibility... Fish-Man Island... Hehe..."

Two streams of blood slowly flowed down from his nostrils.

Barto thought he had already fallen for him.

However, Sanji seemed to suddenly come to his senses, shook his head vigorously, and said, "No, it's not the right time yet."

"Isn't it time yet? When are you going to wait?"

Barto was exasperated. "Staying here won't help you grow! Come with us, your big brother will make you stronger, and then we'll head to the Grand Line! The strongest enemies in the world are there! Everything you've ever dreamed of is there!"

Sanji didn't answer, but calmly lit another cigarette, stretched out his legs, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring. "Stop talking, mohawk. When I want to go, I'll go by myself."

"You bastard!"

Bartolomeo was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He could only sit down and vent his anger on his food, eating heartily.

Damian certainly knew why. Sanji was a very gentle and kind person, and he was worried about Baratie and Zeff.

Just then.

"Brubrubrubrubru".

A strange sound rang out.

Damien paused for a moment, then took a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) from the inside pocket of his suit.

What's going on in Rogge Town?

Click.

The call was connected.

"Damian! Come quick, help!"

Damian was taken aback.

"Guina?"
