World's Number One Beauty? Has Xi Yan Been Eating Too Well?!

"Luffy and Xi Yan actually went to Navy Headquarters?" Sanji, staring at the newspaper, exclaimed in shock, "Are they going to participate in this war?!"

After glancing at the information about Fire Fist Ace below, Sanji confirmed his suspicions.

After all... Fire Fist Ace is Luffy's older brother!

It's normal for Luffy to go and rescue that guy after he was captured, but I didn't expect Xi Yan to end up with Luffy.

"I wonder how those two are doing now," Sanji murmured.

As Sanji pondered this, he glanced at the following content and noticed several headlines that left him speechless.

[The Blood-Eyed Ninja Wins Over the World's Number One Beauty?!]

[The World's Number One Beauty was actually...]

[An enviable man, the Blood-Eyed Ninja, actually has eyes for the Pirate Empress...]

"How can it be repaired?!"

Upon seeing these titles, Sanji's expression immediately twisted, his eyes blazing with fury.

After slamming the newspaper to the ground, Sanji roared with a contorted expression, "Why do I have to face a bunch of transvestites here, while that bastard has the World's Number One Beauty by his side?!"

It's impossible to repair!!!

Isn't that bastard eating a little too well?!

Just then, a transvestite walked over, looked at Sanji with a puzzled expression, and said, "Hmm?"

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so angry?"

As they spoke, the transvestite picked up the newspaper, glanced at it, and then put it back in his pocket, saying, "Nothing special about it."

Sanji:???

Isn't it extraordinary enough that that bastard Xi Yan won over the World's Number One Beauty?

However, Sanji fell silent after seeing the transvestite's makeup clearly.

Ladyboys and such... they don't seem to be interested in women.

"Alright, don't be angry," the transvestite said. "Lord Ivankov is back. Why don't you go and greet him?"

"Ivankov?"

Sanji paused for a moment, then exclaimed excitedly, "Is that Ivankov who's been traveling with Luffy?!"

He just saw that guy's information in the newspaper; that guy must know something about Luffy and his crew!

"Luffy?"

A question mark appeared on the transvestite's face as she asked, "Who is that?"

How come he doesn't recognize the person the other person is talking about?

"Forget it, I'll go ask that guy instead." Sanji shook his head and said, "At the beach, right?"

"Yes, we're almost at the sea..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Sanji dash out.

"Hey, Sanji Sweetheart, put your skirt on first!"

"Damn it, I'm never wearing that awful skirt again!" Sanji roared, his shark-like mouth agape!!!

As soon as he finished speaking, the man ran off into the distance at an incredible speed, doubling his previous speed.

ladyboy:???

Why are you suddenly so agitated?

Clearly...

He used to like her so much.

Thinking about this, the transvestite fell into deep thought.

After shaking her head, the transvestite banished her thoughts and chased after Sanji, clutching her skirt.

"Wait for me, Sanji Sweetheart!"

"You bastard, stay away from me!"

"Big Bear, we will definitely find a way to cure you!"

Looking at the bear wearing Seastone Handcuffs, Ivankov's eyes were filled with determination.

He was determined to heal his companion who had escaped from God Valley with him!

"Lord Ivankov, we've arrived," Inazuma said.

"Have we arrived?"

Upon hearing the Inazuma, Ivankov turned to look at the approaching coastline, then grinned and said, "Finally back here."

After many years... he has finally returned here!

Soon, the warship arrived at the shore and successfully anchored there.

Glancing at the transvestites who had come to welcome him below, Ivankov laughed and jumped off the ship, exclaiming, "I'm back, my sweethearts!"

"Hip-hop!"

"Profound!"

"Lord Ivankov!!"

Seeing the transvestites jump off the boat, excitement immediately appeared on their faces.

"You're Ivankov?"

Sanji stared at Ivankov in shock, then his eyes lit up with hearts as he exclaimed, "What a beautiful older sister! I..."

"Pfft~"

Ivankov injected himself with Male Hormones and instantly transformed into a man.

Then, he looked down at the stuck Sanji and said, "Hmm?"

"What did you say?"

"Sweetheart boy~"

"Damn it... So that's how it is...?"

Sanji immediately collapsed to the ground, pounding his fists on the earth, tears streaming down his face.

He shouldn't have had any illusions about this damned Okama Kingdom!

"No, now is not the time to think about these things..."

Sanji shook his head, forcing himself to calm down, then stood up and looked at Ivankov, saying, "I saw the news about you and Luffy in the newspaper. Can you tell me how they are doing?"

"Information on the Straw Hat Boy?"

Upon hearing Sanji's words, Ivankov immediately became cautious and then asked, "Who are you?"

Why are you trying to find out about them?!

The war had just ended and he was already gathering information about the Ninja Boy... Could this guy be a spy for the World Government?!

Thinking of this, a scrutinizing look appeared in Ivankov's eyes.

"Commander!" Sanji said without hesitation, "I'm Luffy's crewmate!"

"Partner?"

Ivankov frowned, glancing at Sanji, then at Bartholomew Kuma, and thought to himself, ' The Ninja Boy did say his buddies were thrown away by Kuma, could it be... that this guy is one of them?'

If this guy really is one of the Straw Hat Boy ' partners, then telling him about those two wouldn't be a problem.

But... is that really the case?

Thinking of this, Ivankov glanced at Sanji again, staring intently at his face for a while.

'A face I don't recognize...'

Maybe I remembered it wrong?

Thinking of this, Ivankov hesitated for a moment before asking, "You... are you really a member of the Straw Hat Pirates?"

"Of course, I'm the Straw Hat Pirates ' cook!" Sanji said.

Is there Wanted Order?

"Some!"

Sanji said firmly.

But he regretted it as soon as he finished speaking, because the Wanted Order was really...

But Ivankov didn't care about that. After saying "yes," he waved his hand and said, "Inazuma, bring me the Straw Hat Pirates ' Wanted Order!"

"Profound!"

Soon, Inazuma took out the Wanted Order for all the Straw Hat Pirates and placed them on the blackboard.

"Are you still up there?" Ivankov asked, hands on his hips.

"Have."

Ivankov paused for a moment upon hearing this, then picked up Luffy's Wanted Order and said, "This is the Straw Hat Boy's Wanted Order, right?"

"Yes."

"This is the Ninja Boy's Wanted Order, right?"

"Yes."

Ivankov nodded, then showed Sanji the Wanted Order for the other Straw Hat Pirates, until only the last sketch remained.

"There's only this one left," Ivankov said, pointing to Sanji's Wanted Order. "So... this is you?"

"Damn it, that's not true!" Sanji roared, opening his shark-like mouth.

"Click!"

Upon hearing Sanji's words, Ivankov's face contorted with rage, and he roared, "Damn it, how do you prove you're a member of the Straw Hat Pirates?!"

There's absolutely no evidence!

He knows a lot about the Straw Hat Pirates; every single one of them has Wanted Order on their head!

So... this guy is definitely not a member of the Straw Hat Pirates!

"I already told you I'm his partner, why don't you believe me?!"

"Because you have no evidence, you bastard!"

"Of course there's evidence! There's Wanted Order!" Sanji roared.

"Is this you?"

Ivankov took out Sanji's sketch Wanted Order again, and placed it in front of Sanji.

"It wasn't me, you bastard!"

"No... no..."

"Damn it!!"

Sanji, his face contorted in pain, collapsed to the ground and said, "That name is mine..."

"So it's me..."

"Puff!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sanji spat out a mouthful of blood, his expression contorted with pain.

Ivankov:???

"Why are you putting on such a contradictory act, and why are you coughing up blood...?" Ivankov's lips twitched.

What's wrong with this guy?

"Because that Wanted Order..." Sanji raised a trembling finger and pointed at the Wanted Order, then slammed his fist on the ground, roaring with a ferocious expression, "That Wanted Order is me, it's me, okay!"

"It's me!!"

"How can this be repaired..."

Sanji, who personally admitted that the Sanji Wanted Order belonged to him, spat out another mouthful of blood.

"Um..."

Ivankov hesitated for a moment, picked up the Wanted Order and looked at it, then said, "No, this isn't you. You don't look like you at all."

Sanji:...

"Then don't force me to say that!" Sanji roared, opening his shark-like mouth. "I'm spitting blood, you bastard!"

Seeing Sanji's barely contained rage, Ivankov was completely silenced.

To be honest, he couldn't understand why the other person was so angry.

"You bastard, at least say something!"

Ivankov crossed his arms and calmly looked at Sanji, saying, "Anyway, I don't believe you're a member of the Straw Hat Pirates."

He won't reveal any information until he's 100% certain who this guy is.

"Damn it, I clearly..."

Looking at Ivankov's face, Sanji clenched his fists, wishing he could just kick him.

But in the end... he held back.

"If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine," Sanji said, taking a deep breath.

"Oh?"

Are you giving up?

"No, that's not it." Sanji shook his head and said, "I just wanted to try a different approach."

"What method?"

"Lend me a ship!" Sanji said seriously. "I need to get back to where we agreed to meet Luffy and the others!"

As long as he can return to Sabaody Archipelago, he will definitely be able to reunite with his companions!

"Boat?"

"I won't lend you the boat!"

"Then I'll swim there!"

"Um?!"

Ivankov looked surprised upon hearing this and said, "Such a terrifying resolve?"

"As expected of the man who claims to be the Straw Hat Boy's partner!!"

"Honestly, I'm touched by your determination. In that case, I'll..."

Sanji looked at Ivankov with an expectant expression and said, "You want to tell me their information?!"

As long as we can find out information about Luffy and his crew, then...

Before Sanji could finish his thought, Ivankov burst out laughing, "I won't tell you!"

"Hip-hop!!"

"Click!"

Sanji's face immediately contorted with rage; was this bastard playing a trick on him?

"So you weren't planning to tell him, Lord Ivankov!"

"Sanji Sweetheart got tricked~"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"You bastards, shut up!!" Sanji, opening his shark-like mouth. "Or I'll kick you all to death!"

Unfortunately, Sanji's words had no effect on them whatsoever.

After all... this guy's strength isn't that great.

Glancing at Sanji, who was panting heavily from anger, the transvestites exchanged glances, then chuckled and said, "How about we give Sanji Sweetheart Ship while we have the chance?"

"I think it's a good idea!"

"Put him in a dress, so he can realize what kind of girl he is!"

"Profound!"

Sanji:???

Damn it, you're plotting something right in front of him?!

"Shut up, all of you!" Sanji roared angrily. "I'm a man among men, how could I possibly wear that damn skirt?"

"And another thing, I like women, so all of you stay away from me!"

"Tsk~"

The crowd scoffed, but simultaneously gave Sanji a thumbs-up.

'A man among men?'

Watching Sanji's retreating figure, Ivankov gave a mysterious smile, thinking to himself, 'Every character says this before they know their true self~'

Hip hop~

Should we give him an injection?

Ivankov narrowed his eyes, staring at the back of Sanji's head.

After considering it for a moment, Ivankov gave up the idea. After all... there was a chance that this guy was a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, so he couldn't touch him.

"If you're not willing to help me, then forget it." Sanji turned to Ivankov and said, "I'll get the ship using pirate methods, it'll be the same!"

"Oh?"

Are you planning to rob me?

"No!" Sanji lit a cigarette, then looked at Ivankov with a determined gaze and said, "I will win a ship through a duel!"

"Hip hop~"

"You seem quite confident, don't you?" Ivankov laughed and said, "In that case... let's give it a try!"

"I will definitely win!"

"It's good to be confident, but you also need to be able to face reality," Ivankov said.

After saying this, Ivankov walked away into the distance.

'I'll talk to Dragon about the bear later,' Ivankov thought to himself. 'Right now... I need to deal with this clueless sweetheart.'

As if he had just thought of something, Ivankov chuckled, a laugh that made Sanji a little uneasy.

"What does this guy mean?" Sanji asked warily.

Could it be that this guy also wants to put that damn dress on him?

Don't be ridiculous, he'd rather die than wear that damn dress this time!

Some things, once is enough!

"Hurry up and catch up, kid!" Ivankov said.

"Here they come!" Sanji exclaimed, quickly following after them. He then declared, "I will defeat you and return to my crew!!"

Ivankov burst into laughter upon hearing this, saying, "Then let's give it a try!"

"Hip-hop!"

"Oh, right," Sanji said, as if remembering something, "Is what the newspaper said about Xi Yan and the Pirate Empress true?"

Yes~

Sanji:...

"How can this be repaired?!"

Ivankov:???

Seeing Sanji roar again, Ivankov was full of questions, wondering what was wrong with this guy now.

After a moment of silence, Ivankov shook his head, thinking to himself, 'Another guy with a screw loose.'

At that moment, Ivankov came to a conclusion.

This man is sick and needs treatment!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

On the sea off the Dorachir Island in the New World, a large number of pirate ships are currently floating here.

"Lord Smoothie, this is it." A subordinate respectfully looked at Smoothie and said, "This is our target this time."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Smoothie said coldly, "Attack!"

"Yes!"

"Go! Take this island and present it to Lord Smoothie!!"

"From this day forward, this island belongs to our Big Mom Pirates!"

"Profound!!"

A group of pirates roared and their eyes turned bloodthirsty as they charged toward the island.

Smoothie watched the group rush past and said coldly, "The Whitebeard Pirates... Hmph!"

Without that old man Whitebeard, those guys have no chance of holding onto this territory!

So... the Big Mom Pirates will gladly accept these islands!

After letting out a cold laugh, Smoothie quickly rushed towards the island.

"Don't let any of those who dare to resist get away!"

"Yes, Lady Smoothie!!!"
