Miss Bingbing, You Wouldn't Want...

My head hurts.

It hurts a lot.

Kuzan opened his eyes and found himself in a simple cabin in the woods.

The view outside the window was lush and green, like a small, rain-soaked island.

After a moment of confusion, Kuzan remembered his situation.

A mysterious sand forest, technologically advanced laser cannons, bizarre self-destructing saplings and thorny turrets, and a devastating explosion.

Were I defeated by these things?

Wrong!

Kuzan rubbed his forehead vigorously, trying to recall more.

Only then did he notice the sharp pain coming from the back of his neck.

He touched it with his hand, and winced in pain.

He remembered.

He recalled the terrifying visions he vaguely saw before he lost consciousness.

Kuzan muttered to himself:

"Wasn't that a dream? If so, it's the most terrifying dream since Ohara."

"Yes, you just had a dream."

Just then, the wooden door of the cottage creaked open.

A sliver of sunlight shone through the gate into the forest, causing Kuzan was used to the dim environment, to unconsciously squint slightly.

A tall, strong man appeared amidst the light and shadow.

The man's figure was so familiar.

"Teacher Garp?"

Kuzan spoke, trying to ascertain the man's identity.

During his more than ten years of military service before becoming Admiral, besides Zephyr, who had a tragic fate but had the most profound Zephyr on Kuzan and taught him the most, Vice Admiral Garp, who was known as a naval hero, left the deepest impression on Kuzan.

As Kuzan's eyes gradually adjusted to the light, sure enough, Garp- sensei's wrinkled old face appeared before him.

"Garp- sensei, what are you doing here?" Kuzan asked in surprise.

"Hehe, the air in the forest is fresher, which is very good for keeping an old man like me in a good mood," Garp said with a gentle smile.

Ignoring the pain in the back of his neck, Kuzan quickly got up from the bed.

But halfway through his action, he suddenly paused.

The scene before I lost consciousness flashed before my eyes like a montage.

The old man swaying his hips in the forest, the buzzing sound of the clamp—if you think about it carefully...

Everything seemed to fit the image of the old man before them.

Kuzan's gaze toward Garp became increasingly strange; he tried to hide it, but couldn't.

"Kuzan, what are you thinking about?" Garp asked with a forced smile.

"Uh... I wasn't thinking about anything. I'm here in Alabasta on a mission. Fleet Admiral Sengoku is pressuring me a lot, and I have to leave immediately!"

With that, Kuzan jumped up and hurried toward the gate.

"You little brat, you really did see something you shouldn't have!"

With those words, an iron fist imbued with Armament Haki slammed towards Kuzan.

But the Riot Games only shattered a pile of ice shards when it landed.

Garp's Riot Games was instead firmly enveloped by the rampant cold air.

"Hey, no wonder you're one of my students, you've got some skills!"

Garp laughed heartily, and with a slight tug of his arm muscles, he shattered the ice pillars that were about to solidify.

"As expected, even this level of skill can't do anything to you, Garp- sensei!"

Kuzan appeared from the other side in the form of an ice elemental, a deep sense of helplessness on his face. "If you just believe I really have amnesia, wouldn't that be enough?"

"But your acting skills aren't good enough!"

Garp chuckled, clenching his Riot Games. "How about I beat you up first, then reason with you? That's how I raise my sons and grandsons!"

Kuzan dodged the punch and sighed, "Then your children and grandchildren must be very successful, right?"

"Of course! They may be bastards, but I've always been proud of them!"

Garp threw another punch, which collided violently with the giant Ice Fist that suddenly appeared on his left.

Soon after, many residents of Shurima City felt the earth tremble.

Some sharp-eyed people even spotted what appeared to be a frost phoenix briefly appearing deep in the forest behind the mountain before quickly shattering into pieces.

However, due to the reckless actions of inventors like Heimerdinger in their underground laboratories, Shurima major earthquakes every three days and minor ones every five days, and its residents have become immune to earthquakes of this magnitude.

In any case, the houses provided by Ma Qiao were of very high quality and would not be affected by the earthquake at all, so people remained calm and continued to live their daily lives.

Only Zephyr and Crocodile, having removed their game masks, stared intently at the back of Shurima with serious expressions and expressions full of doubt.

In the original timeline, Kuzan and Akainu fought for ten days and ten nights on Punk Hazard in a battle for the position of Fleet Admiral. Their abilities even altered the laws of nature, turning the island into a true place of contrasting ice and fire.

This is one of the highest levels of combat power in the One Piece world—the oppressive presence of Marine Admiral.

Garp may be slightly stronger than Admiral, but the difference wouldn't be too great.

If they really fight, he and Kuzan will probably fight for at least five or eight days.

Fortunately, it wasn't a life-or-death struggle for them.

After shattering Kuzan's ultimate attack, Ice Block: Ice Block: Pheasant Beak, into pieces with a single punch, Garp suddenly burst into laughter.

"You old geezer, what are you laughing at!"

At this point, Kuzan's complexion had turned very pale, and he no longer cared about using honorifics.

"We have no grounds for fighting. I don't care what your personal hobbies are, and I have no interest in publicizing them. Stop!"

Garp chuckled for a while, clutching his stomach, then sneered, "Kuzan, you're still so naive! You think you can stand aside after witnessing me endure humiliation for the cause of justice? Don't dream!"

"Why don't you take a look at yourself now?"

Kuzan was taken aback by these words: "What do you mean by that?"

"I think you don't understand at all!"

Garp, the old scoundrel, picked his nose with one hand and pulled out a Mobile Den Den Mushi with the other. "I've got some good stuff here, want to check it out?"

Garp slowly pressed the play button, and a stunningly beautiful dark-skinned "transgender" appeared on the screen. Even if she were thrown into the Kamabakka Kingdom, she would be considered one of the best.

The slight languor that had previously lingered on Kuzan's face had completely vanished, replaced by a fear that went beyond mere shock.

"Icemirror!"

Kuzan quickly used his ability to conjure a life-sized ice mirror in front of him.

He then realized that he had been fighting all along in such a terrifying outfit.

"Kuzan, you don't want your female disguise to be exposed to the public, do you?"

Garp, that old scoundrel, flashed a wide, eight-toothed grin.

"Don't worry, there's no such thing as cross-dressing; it's a zero-sum game, it happens countless times. All of this is for upholding the Navy's justice!"

East Blue.

The 16th Branch and the Shadow Unit Marine Base.

Indoor training area.

"Razor!"

Sanji a soft shout and stomped the ground more than thirty times at high speed in an instant.

The explosive reaction force generated by the high-speed pedaling propelled his body at an extremely fast speed, as if he had disappeared from the spot.

Building upon the "Shave" technique, Sanji nimbly rotated his body in mid-air, his toes forming sharp tracks, and the compressed airflow, like a crescent slash, split the target in the training field in two.

"As expected of Lieutenant Sanji, the Sanji!"

"I heard that the technique Lieutenant Sanji just demonstrated is one that very few people, even at Marine Headquarters, possess!"

"Of course! Sanji is a promising new star highly regarded by the legendary naval Garp the Hero!"

Despite the compliments from his comrades, Sanji didn't show any smugness on his face.

There were no female soldiers, not a single one!

With his cool general's uniform casually slung over his shoulder and a half-smoked cigarette dangling from his mouth, he left the training ground with an air of nonchalance and headed towards his superior's office.

"Sanji- senpai, are you going to see Lord Twitch again?"

Good luck this time!

Along the way, both soldiers and officers greeted Sanji warmly.

It's obvious that he's quite popular here.

However, no one was very optimistic about Sanji's actions.

Sure enough, not long after, Sanji flew out of Twitch's office and crashed heavily onto the road.

Twitch clapped his hands, walked out of the office, and said with a smile, "Want to go to Marineford? You still need to work harder. If you can't even last three minutes against me, don't go to Marineford and embarrass the East Blue."

"Lord Twitch, I will continue to work hard!"

Sanji had no objection to Twitch.

The latter, like an old father, taught him many life lessons.

Sanji wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up and left. "Next time, next time I will definitely gain your approval and get the right to report to Marineford."

Looking at this stubborn young man, Twitch also felt a bit of a headache.

Ultimately, he's an ADC (Attack Damage Carry), he's not good at close-quarters combat at all, okay?

It was only because of his higher level and the equipment bestowed upon him by his master that he was able to barely deal with this hothead.

But he's progressing really fast!

They've even learned the evolved techniques of the Six Powers.

This kid is only seventeen!

Twenty-seven years old? That's incredible!

Twitch felt it was time to ask his master for a level boost.

Sanji returned to his dorm.

Looking at the poster of the Miss Meat-Meat above my bed, I sighed.

Although he met a female officer in Loguetown who looked almost exactly like the "Miss Meat-Meat," and he was a good match for her, Sanji knew that he had always loved the gentle and kind "Miss Meat-Meat."

Indeed, on countless lonely nights, only the Miss Meat-Meat could comfort Sanji's heart, which had been tormented by his father and brothers since childhood.

He was so gentle, kind, and understanding.

Furthermore, many people mistakenly believed that Sanji's growth and progress were due to extra help he received from Vice Admiral Garp before he left.

But only Sanji himself knew that his rapid growth was actually closely related to the guidance that Miss Meat-Meat gave him from time to time.

In Sanji's opinion, Niu Niu must be a powerful Marine from the Marine Headquarters.

It was for this reason that, although he was eager to get to Marineford as soon as possible, he also gladly accepted the trial proposed by Lord Twitch.

He didn't want to appear in front of the Miss Meat-Meat in a weak and pathetic manner.

I stared at the poster of the Miss Meat-Meat for a while and got a nosebleed, Mobile Den Den Mushi alarm went off.

Sanji quickly opened the Great Bird's live stream room.

This is the time every day that the Miss Meat-Meat dances during her live stream.

However, before he could even open the live stream, a notification text message from Huabei popped up on his phone.

Am I going to overdraw my Huabei again?

Sanji covered his forehead in distress.

As a naval lieutenant, his monthly salary was a full 200,000 Beli.

In addition, since they don't have to spend their own money on food, drink, clothing, or lodging while in the military, they should be able to save money easily.

For some reason, even though Sanji felt he was being very frugal, his money vanished like water.

That's really strange.

Sanji closes the Huabei notification and enters the live stream.

For some reason, the Miss Meat-Meat seems to be late today.

But it doesn't matter, the fans of the Miss Meat-Meat in the live stream have already started leaving comments and sending gifts non-stop.

[Blonde Boy: Why hasn't our Miss Meat-Meat arrived yet? Is she sick with a cold? Make sure she drinks plenty of hot water!]

Sanji glanced at the guy whose ID was so similar to his own and gave him a disdainful sneer.

How dare someone with such a low fan rating lick my Miss Meat-Meat?

Sanji casually sent out a giant rocket.

Immediately, a group of people started commenting, "The top-ranked player Haki."

That's right, Sanji is the top fan in the chubby girl's live stream.

As he ate the steamed buns and porridge he had brought back from the cafeteria, and looked at the compliments he received on the public screen, he felt that it was all worthwhile.

Not long after, a slender cartoon girl appeared on the screen.

"I'm sorry everyone, I'm late today, but there's a reason for that."

"Because starting today, I'd like to introduce you all to one of my best friends— Miss Bingbing!"

Sanji already knew that Niu Niu had a best friend.

Moreover, he has quite a few female friends and a huge appetite; he can eat a whole cow in one sitting.

However, this was the first time he had seen the real person on a screen.

Soon, a tall, slender woman with a healthy complexion and long, wavy hair appeared on the screen.

He kept his head down and didn't say a word.

But it was precisely this sense of budding beauty and delicate charm that struck many people's hearts like a giant hammer.

Sanji is, of course, one of them.

"My body is fleshy (hot), but my heart is Bingbing..."

"Thanks to [Blond-Haired Prince] for the big rocket! Thank you so much, sir!"

On the screen, the Miss Meat-Meat skillfully danced while saying "thank you for the donation" in a playful voice.

He seemed to gently punch his best friend beside him with his little pink fist.

Bingbing finally let go of her reserve, grinned, and began to thank everyone for the gifts.

"Bingbing, our goal is to completely surpass Alvida, the top beauty influencer next door. This will be very helpful for the 'mission' your goddess best friend asked you to do, won't it?"

Bingbing looked up at the sky, and it seemed as if tears were streaming down her face.

"If you say so, then it must be..."
