Sanji's Counterattack! The Marines Arrive!

Inside a room Vinsmoke Family.

Sanji is packing his things.

Nobody told him to do it, but he felt he should.

After all, they were about to leave the Vinsmoke Family.

Is this a good thing?

Sanji, who is only six years old this year, has no idea.

Everyone here treats him badly.

His three brothers always bullied him, his father looked down on him, and his only sister never gave him a kind look.

His only caregiver and love, his Mama, had recently passed away.

Staying in this house only made him feel lost and out of place.

But he grew up here.

Having become familiar with everything here, what will the future hold if I leave?

Sanji didn't know.

But when the chef...

It shouldn't be a bad thing, right?

I heard you're leaving.

A voice suddenly came from behind.

Sanji was startled and turned around in a panic.

Reiju, the older sister with beautiful pink hair, leaned against the door, quietly watching him.

Sanji somewhat panicked.

Although this older sister rarely targeted him directly, she and her three brothers had bullied him quite a bit, and Sanji was very afraid of her.

He nodded slightly. "Yes, that person, Lord Ian said he wants me to be his chef."

"Ian, Ian of the Scorched Sky,"

Reiju raised her hand and scratched her hair. "I only found out he was a high-ranking officer in the Beasts Pirates. Maybe it's not a bad thing for you to leave with him."

Sanji paused for a moment.

He couldn't understand why this older sister would say such a thing.

Was she worried about herself?

Reiju quietly looked at her younger brother.

After a long while.

Good luck, Sanji.

She turned and left.

Sanji was still somewhat bewildered.

What exactly is she here for?

At the same time, in the palace where the Donquixote Family and the Beasts Pirates were located.

"Fufufufu, so, is the collaboration confirmed now?"

Doflamingo watched with a grin as Ian and Judge walked in side by side.

Yes, there was also a sleepy-eyed Yamato, but she was ignored.

"Yes,"

Ian laughed and said, "We've decided to work together from now on to overthrow the World Government."

"Overthrow the World Government?"

Doflamingo's smile widened. "Then, may I participate in this collaboration?"

Overthrow the World Government?

Then I, Doflamingo, will lend a hand!

"Of course, no problem."

Ian laughed and said, "The more forces that can overthrow the World Government, the better, of course."

After all, the World Government is incredibly powerful.

"Hahaha! That's wonderful! Our strength has increased once again!"

Judge was delighted. "Then let's have a feast!"

Should we have a banquet?

Ian estimated that it was already past midnight.

Turning his head, he saw that Yamato, who was standing next to him, had fallen asleep again with his head on his shoulder.

Oh well, let's just open it then, I'm a little hungry anyway.

I haven't eaten anything since lunch in Spiders Cafe.

"Then let's have a banquet."

Ian said.

So, a banquet was held.

Because there were too many people attending the banquet, Judge specially chose a very large banquet hall with several long tables, which would have more than enough room for everyone to sit down.

Besides the Beasts Pirates, the Donquixote Family, and Umit, Judge's children also attended the banquet.

Several little devils—red, blue, green, and pink—sat together with their father.

Sanji's three brothers were still baring their teeth at Yamato, pretending to be fierce, and seemed unwilling to submit.

Yamato the other hand, showed little interest in them; they were too weak to be of any interest.

Sanji arrived late because he was packing his things, and he was a little unsure where to sit.

"Hahaha, the useless Sanji here!"

The youngest of the four brothers, Yonji, mocked without hesitation, "If you're so useless, you might as well go eat with the dogs!"

"Yonji, you do come up with good ideas sometimes!"

Second Niji laughed heartily.

"That's right, that's right, Sanji also likes to prepare food for cats and dogs!" Ichiji, was equally ruthless.

Sanji lowered his head, just like he always had.

This family doesn't seem to have a very harmonious relationship.

Umit watched with a smile.

He even hoped it would be more exciting.

Just watching the show.

"Shut up!"

But then, someone suddenly interrupted them.

The three brothers immediately quieted down.

Because it was their father who was speaking.

The three brothers, lacking human emotions, did not necessarily respect their father; however, they were unable to defy Judge.

Judge looked at Sanji with a complicated expression.

He said, "You're already Ian's chef, so go work for Ian."

Sanji looked at his father with some surprise, then nodded slightly and walked towards Ian.

"Wait a moment."

At that moment, Ian suddenly spoke up.

Sanji stopped abruptly and looked up in surprise.

Has he changed his mind?

"The Beasts Pirates shouldn't be insulted like this!"

Ian, resting his chin on his hand, said lazily, "Sanji."

"Uh, huh?"

Sanji responded in a low voice.

Ian pointed to the three brothers who were sitting upright and silent, "Go beat them up."

Beat them back?

Sanji's eyes widened.

He had never even considered such a thing.

He was about to say something when his father yelled from behind, "Didn't you hear me? Sanji! Ian told you to go and beat him up!"

Sanji turned around and couldn't help but look at his three brothers.

The three brothers didn't speak, but they stared intently at him with terrifying eyes.

Sanji couldn't help but lower his head again.

"Listen, Sanji,"

But Ian said, "You're the chef I've chosen, so you're my partner. Since you're my partner, I'll protect you. There's no need to be afraid or worried, just do your job."

Sanji's body jolted.

Will he be able to protect himself?

Sanji sniffed.

He gritted his teeth.

He rushed out without looking up.

He punched Ichiji hard in the face, knocking his older brother off his chair.

it hurts.

Sanji grinned.

Although Ichiji's exoskeleton is not yet fully developed, its hardness is already quite astonishing.

However, Sanji felt very happy.

So when he knocked Niji off the chair with his second punch, a smile was already on his face.

Finally, the third punch brought Yonji to catch up with his two older brothers, and the three brothers all fell to the ground.

Sanji's smile was now incredibly radiant.

The pent-up emotions that had been building up for so long were finally released.

"Remember this feeling, Sanji."

Ian said, "Violence can be avoided, but it cannot be absent."

Sanji nodded and looked at Reiju.

Reiju remained motionless and silent; she even closed her eyes.

but.

Sanji remembered Reiju, who had suddenly run up and said some strange things earlier. He silently turned around, walked over to Ian, and found a seat.

"Let me introduce you,"

Ian pointed at Sanji, "This is Sanji, he'll be the cook on the Golden Flying Dragon from now on."

Hello.

Despite his drowsy and listless Yamato broke into a bright smile. "I am Yamato."

Jack nodded slightly. "Jack."

Black Maria smiled gently; she quite liked children. "Black Maria."

Sanji was somewhat happy, but he tried not to laugh too heartily. He nodded somewhat reservedly, "Hello, I'm Sanji."

Then, Ian looked at the silent man and said, "Drake, aren't you going to introduce yourself?"

"I'm not one of your people."

Drake's words left everyone present completely bewildered.

What is this guy saying?

Drake glanced at Sanji; another child was about to be corrupted.

But he won't.

He is no longer a child.

"I'm going to become Drake, a Marine! Not Drake, a pirate!"

Drake said solemnly.

Umit burst out laughing; had he misheard?

Rosinante was suddenly taken aback.

navy?

This kid wants to join the navy?

How did he end up hanging out with Ian and the others?

"Navy?"

Doflamingo was also taken aback. "Furfurfur! How interesting! Ian, do you have such an eccentric guy on your ship? That's quite a rare sight among pirates."

Ian just chuckled.

"It seems,"

Doflamingo looked at Drake and said, "You certainly lack a proper understanding of the Navy, kid."

Drake didn't bother to reply and just buried himself in his food.

Whatever, he doesn't care anyway.

At worst, I'll just die.

Doflamingo then looked at Ian, "What do you think, Ian? I'll share some of the Navy's glorious deeds with him later."

He didn't know much about the Navy's dirty secrets, but the Celestial Dragons ' dirty secrets were far more numerous than just dirty secrets.

As is widely known, the Navy is the Celestial Dragons ' lackeys.

That would be wonderful.

Ian readily accepted.

In fact, the original plan was for Doflamingo to teach Drake a lesson.

Let this kid know that what he considers justice never existed in the first place.

Then.

Bang.

The doors to the banquet hall were suddenly pushed open.

A Germa Kingdom guard rushed in, "Your Majesty! Your Judge! The navy has arrived!"

Judge was taken aback. "The Navy?"

"Navy?"

Umit panicked.

Doflamingo was also taken aback.

Ian raised an eyebrow slightly; they'd arrived pretty quickly.

"Yes! A fleet from Marine Headquarters is approaching!"

The guard shouted, "And leading the group is Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Chief of Marine Headquarters!"

"What? You mean cranes?"

Doflamingo perked up, "Has that old hag caught up with us again?"

He looked at Ian with some apology, "Ian, it seems I've dragged you into this."

"Yeah?"

Ian smiled meaningfully, "I have a feeling something's not quite right."

How did they know we were here?

Doflamingo was also taken aback.

Yes, how did the Navy know?

This country is a non-governmental Affiliated Nation and has no way to inform the navy.

Furthermore, the navy wouldn't pay any attention to the mutiny that occurred here, so there's no reason for them to know that he was behind it.

So how did the Navy manage to come knocking on their door so quickly, almost immediately after they arrived?

Doflamingo took a deep breath.

"Fufufufu! Ian, it seems I really have wronged you!"

Damn it! There are bad guys in the family!

Ian stood up and stretched. "Anyway, let's go out and take a look."

Looking down, he met Yamato's piercing eyes. "Are we going to fight?"

Ian thought for a moment, "That depends on what they say."
