Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

"It's alright, we have enough food to last five days, and at least one or two ships will pass by within five days!"

A blond-haired kid sat on the ground with his knees drawn up, looking at the food he had placed on the ground around him and trying to comfort himself.

"However, just in case, I'll divide the food into a twenty-day supply. A ship will definitely pass by within twenty days!"

This kid was naturally Sanji. At this moment, he and Zeff had just landed on this reef, and Zeff gave him a bag of food that didn't seem like much.

Why does it look like there aren't many? Because compared to the big bag next to Zeff, his bag is pitifully small.

Sanji was dissatisfied, but he had to keep it to himself, having witnessed the ruthlessness of the man before him.

Fortunately, the other person still had some humanity and shared some food with him, otherwise he would have been really doomed!

Looking at the food he had divided up, Sanji was full of confidence; this food would definitely last until the day of the rescue.

With that in mind, Sanji found a stone nearby and drew a white vertical line on the ground.

"Okay! Today is the first day, let's start with some bread!!"

After saying that, Sanji randomly picked up a piece of bread from the few pieces and put it in his mouth.

As the food was swallowed, a feeling of fullness filled his stomach, and Sanji couldn't help but show an expression of enjoyment on his face, which also strengthened his resolve to become a chef.

He will definitely become the best chef in the world and find ALL BLUE!

Rumbling--

Suddenly, thunder rumbled in the sky, and Sanji instinctively looked up.

"Is it thundering?"

The next second, a look of obvious confusion appeared on Sanji's face.

The sun shines brightly in the sky, with a few white clouds dotting the boundless clear sky.

What he was seeing challenged his common sense. When did thunder happen in this kind of weather?

"Wow! Such a lavish meal?"

Just as Sanji was still wondering, a strange voice suddenly came from behind him, making him tremble and turn around quickly.

What came into view was a black-haired "boy" who was clearly more than a head taller than him, with a face that still looked obviously childish.

On the other side, Zeff, sensing the commotion, immediately turned around, his gaze fixed intently on Kyle's retreating figure, and asked in a low voice:

"Who are you?!"

Zeff was utterly horrified. He considered himself a fairly strong pirate, at least before he lost his leg.

But he hadn't realized when this person had appeared here. If he hadn't suddenly spoken up, he wouldn't have known that there was a third person on this reef.

Kyle glanced back at him and said calmly:

"Navy, Kyle!"

"navy!!"

Upon hearing this, Zhefu's expression changed drastically, and he spoke in a deep voice:

"Are you here to arrest me?"

"Arrest you?"

"Heh~"

Kyle chuckled softly.

"Red-Leg Zeff, don't think too highly of yourself. You're not worthy of making me travel all the way from Marine Headquarters at top speed to capture you!"

Kyle flew all the way from Marine Headquarters; otherwise, how could he have arrived so quickly?

He arrived before either of them could even feel a hint of despair.

"Naval Headquarters?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhefu was once again shocked. This kid in front of him was from the Navy Headquarters?

He was a pirate who had been to the Grand Line and knew what the Marine Headquarters meant. It was where most of the Marines' strongest members were gathered, and it was incomparable to an ordinary Marine branch.

"I came for him!"

Kyle spoke calmly, turning his gaze to Sanji.

Sanji was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously took several steps back and pointed at himself.

"Did you come for me?"

"right!"

Why?

Sanji asked instinctively, then, as if he had thought of something, a visible fear appeared on his face. He collapsed to the ground, beads of sweat seeping from his forehead, and looked at Kyle tremblingly.

"Could it be... that you are...?"

"no!"

Before Sanji could finish speaking, Kyle interrupted him.

"Germany is not qualified to order me around!"

"I came here simply for you, because I saw your potential, nothing more!"

!!!

Upon hearing this, Sanji's fear intensified, and his heart pounded wildly.

"This...this person knows who I am!!"

"he……"

Before Sanji could continue thinking, Kyle spoke up again.

"Sanji, I'm here to invite you to join the Marines!"

"Eh!!!"

Sanji was dumbfounded once again.

"Inviting me? To join the Navy?"

"right!"

Kyle nodded, then stopped talking and just looked at Sanji, giving him time to think and wait for his answer.

Sanji's expression kept changing, but finally calmed down a little. He looked up at Kyle, his tone still carrying a hint of fear.

"Now that you know who I am, there's nothing I need to hide from you. I think you might have misunderstood. I don't have any potential. Compared to Yuji and the others, I'm just an ordinary person, completely inferior to them!"

At this point, Sanji lowered his head slightly, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

If he could have been like Yuji and the others, and hadn't performed so mediocrely, perhaps he wouldn't have received that treatment, and wouldn't have...

But Sanji quickly shook off that disappointment!

No, he prefers it now!

He really didn't want to go back to Germa again, especially after his mother passed away.

The entire kingdom was filled with indifference, devoid of any warmth between relatives, and his father's gaze towards him was always so indifferent.

The only person he cared about was his sister, Reiju. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have been able to escape.

But no matter what, even if he died outside, he didn't want to go back to Germa and live a life of imprisonment with no hope in sight.

"I don't care what you think, I don't care what they think, I only care what I think!"

"I think your potential is enough!"

! !

Sanji suddenly looked up and met Kyle's deep eyes. His body trembled, and something called a sense of belonging quietly appeared in his heart.

But I still blurted out instinctively:

"But...I want to become a chef?"

"Is there any conflict between becoming a chef and joining the Navy?"

"Can't a navy officer and a cook coexist?"

Kyle smiled slightly and asked in return.

Upon hearing this, Sanji's eyes suddenly brightened, growing brighter and brighter. Without much hesitation, he spoke directly:

"I'm willing to join the Navy!"

The moment Sanji agreed, a system notification sounded in Kyle's mind.
