The Truth Revealed, Sanji's Nightmare

At this moment, everyone who had been watching Kuma and Roy talk finally realized what was happening.

Usopp, trembling, pointed a finger at the Kuma, stammering, "You... you... you..."

A gentle smile appeared on Kuma's usually cold and serious face.

He slowly lowered his head, and his apologetic voice rang out. "I'm sorry, I startled you..."

Nami suddenly realized, her eyes widening. "Wait... I remember you are--"

She pointed at Kuma, her voice rising sharply. "The Shichibukai, Bartholomew Kuma?! And the one recommended by Roy?!"

After saying that, she suddenly turned around to look at Roy, stomping her foot angrily. "Roy!! You scared me this time!!"

Roy scratched the back of his head innocently and gave an embarrassed smile, "Well~ the result was pretty good, wasn't it?"

Just as everyone's mood began to ease slightly, Luffy, lying in Ace's arms, suddenly trembled slightly and murmured indistinctly, "Nami... Ace..."

The next second, he suddenly opened his eyes, sprang to his feet with a somersault, and clenched his fists so tightly they cracked. "Where is everyone?!"

He caught sight of the Kuma standing next to Roy, and his anger erupted like a volcano. "You bastard--!"

"Bang!"

Luffy was about to rush forward, Roy pressed his head down with one hand, holding him firmly in place like a chick, unable to move at all.

"Luffy ~"

Roy said casually, a smile playing on his lips, "Calm down."

Luffy struggled for a moment, then realized he couldn't move. Seeing it was Roy, his anger faltered. "Roy!! He's got Sanji— "

"Don't worry~" Roy patted Luffy's head, "Sanji is fine."

Ace raised an eyebrow, looking at Kuma: "So... you never really intended to hurt us from the beginning?!"

Kuma nodded, "It's not entirely harmless; my mission is to push you to your limits."

Roy patted Luffy on the shoulder, "This trial is to make you understand that the enemies of the New World are far stronger than you imagine."

He glanced at Jozu and his two companions, still groaning in pain in the distance, and said coldly, "The defeat of the Whitebeard Remnants is just the beginning."

"Next, you will face... an even more brutal battle."

Luffy clenched his fists, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit. "No matter who it is! I'll send them flying!!"

Roy chuckled upon hearing this, "Excellent, that's the kind of momentum I'm looking for!"

Nami rubbed her forehead and sighed deeply, "Roy... could you please give us a heads-up next time? We were almost scared to death!"

Roy blinked, his tone serious. "If I'd said so beforehand, would it still be called a trial?"

"Thump--"

Usopp collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the sky. "It's over... I definitely won't live past fifty..."

Ace laughed heartily and immediately put his arm around Luffy's neck, "What are you afraid of! We brothers are here!"

Just as everyone was relaxing and chatting, Marco, Vista, and Jozu finally finished enduring all of Luffy's damage.

The three lay in pools of blood, their faces ashen, their breaths so faint they were almost gone.

With a flick of his Right Hand, Roy's figure Flash, taking Marco and Jozu away.

A minute later, he returned alone and casually tossed the two corpses on the ground as if they were nothing more than a pile of scrap metal.

"Snap." Roy snapped his fingers lightly.

"Buzz..."

The air in the Sabaody Archipelago suddenly seemed to be plucked, and the islands, which had been eerily silent due to the fierce battle, gradually returned to normal.

In the distance, the cries of vendors from other islands and the laughter of tourists drifted over, making even the air seem different.

The earth-shattering battle just now felt like an illusion that never happened.

Roy looked at the Kuma, Kuma understood immediately, nodded, and then patted himself and disappeared.

Less than two minutes later, several figures emerged from the shadows. CP0 members wearing white masks were quickly surveying the Battlefield, but they all froze when they saw the surrounding situation.

"Whoosh!"

Roy didn't bother with any more words. With a wave of his Right Hand, several CP0 members were instantly pulled in front of Roy as if being grabbed by an invisible giant hand.

"You!"

The CP0 leader was about to struggle when he saw the man's face in front of him. He felt as if he had been doused with ice water and dared not breathe too heavily.

Roy said calmly, "The Whitebeard Remnants attacked the Navy in an attempt to rescue Marco, but they have all been killed."

"Dark King Rayleigh attacked the new Navy recruits, but I have already repelled him."

He released his grip and added casually, "Just write the report like that."

CP0 nodded hastily, his voice trembling with barely concealed fear. "I-I understand!"

Before the words were even finished, the group vanished into thin air as if fleeing for their lives.

Soon after, the Marine Branch soldiers quickly arrived at the Battlefield.

"Vice Admiral Roy!"

They saluted in unison, their expressions revealing undisguised shock.

The surrounding area had been destroyed as if it had survived an apocalyptic catastrophe, but Roy and his team remained unharmed.

Roy simply nodded. "The Whitebeard Remnants have been completely wiped out. The remaining Battlefield cleanup is up to you."

"Yes, sir!!" The soldiers responded solemnly and immediately began the search and cleanup.

Ace, Nami, Usopp, and Luffy followed closely behind Roy, embarking on their journey back.

On the way, Luffy couldn't help but ask, "Roy, where did Sanji go?"

Roy smiled. "He went to a place that suits his training..."

"He'll receive the perfect training there. Two months later, he'll return with renewed strength."

Nami asked in confusion, "Training? Where is that?"

Usopp scratched his head. "Could it be Beauty Island...?"

Roy simply waved his hand gently, "Let's go, it's time to go back."

Kamabakka Kingdom - Coastline

"Splash--!"

The waves crashed violently against the beach, and with a dull thud, Sanji jolted awake from his unconsciousness.

"Nami- sama?! Usopp?!"

He sprang up with a swift movement, looked around, and found himself standing on an unfamiliar shore.

There were no familiar companions around, only a strange jungle and a sea breeze carrying the sweet scent of flowers.

"Where am I?! I remember... being slapped away by that person?!"

Sanji rubbed the back of his head and cursed, just about to continue searching for his companions when suddenly—

"Help! Is anyone there?"

A weak cry for help came from the depths of the jungle!

Sanji's ears twitched, and his pupils flashed with a fierce light. "A girl's voice?! Is there danger?!"

Without the slightest hesitation, he transformed into a blur and rushed into the jungle, the leaves beneath his feet swirling in the wind as he pounded them.

Sanji hadn't run far when he spotted a pink figure.

The person was wearing a pink dress, with a long, slender figure, but was tightly entangled by Vines, struggling incessantly.

Sanji instantly transformed into a chivalrous knight, his eyes blazing with hearts. "Lady, don't be afraid! I'm here to save you!!"

"Brush--!"

He leaped forward quickly, about to cut the Vines, but—

The pink-clad figure slowly turned around, revealing a stubble-faced, heavily made-up man's face.

The other person even winked sweetly, "Handsome guy~ Come help me out~"

"..."

The air condensed.

Sanji froze instantly, his eyes bloodshot.

"A man... a man?! Wearing a skirt?! And... calling me handsome?!"

"Vomit--!"

He suddenly bent over and gagged, his face ashen. "What kind of hell is this?!"

The Pink-Clad Okama (Dibani) covered her mouth and chuckled, her posture alluring. "Oh dear, what's there to be shy about~"

Welcome to the Kamabakka Kingdom!

"This is... Paradise for ladyboys!"

"Shuashua--!"

The surrounding bushes suddenly shook, and dozens of brightly colored figures leaped out!

They were dressed in exaggerated dresses and wore flamboyant makeup, and they all rushed towards Sanji like a whirlwind.

"A newbie!! A newbie indeed!!"

"What a handsome young man!"

"Come on, come on~ Stay and keep us company~"

Sanji trembled, his finger shaking as he pointed at the group of transvestites, his voice cracking. "You... you guys, don't come any closer!!"

He turned to run away, but Dibani smiled seductively and grabbed Sanji's wrist, "Don't run, handsome~"

"Since you're here, make the most of your time here!"

"Ahhh--!"

Sanji's screams echoed throughout the jungle, startling countless flocks of birds into flight.
