Me against Mihawk and Shanks? One to nine, I'd say

"I think I know where to find the Clear-Clear Fruit's power."

"The Color-Color Fruit's power seems to offer the invisibility someone wants, too."

"There's even technology that can make you invisible."

Houka looked at the defiant Sanji and smiled faintly.

"I, Sanji, have wandered for half my life, lamenting that I never found a worthy lord. If you would have me, I wish to take you as my father! I would gladly lay down my life for you!"

The blond Sanji dropped to his knees at once. This was the invisibility power he wanted more than anything!

Back when he was still with the Vinsmoke Family, he had read the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.

He had never forgotten the Paramecia-type Clear-Clear Fruit.

"Tch!"

Moss Head Zoro immediately mocked him right back.

He had already begun picking out suitable blades from among the alloy Great Grade Swords and Supreme Grade Swords.

But Wado Ichimonji was the sword Kuina had left him, Yubashiri was the sword shopkeeper Ipponmatsu had entrusted to him, and Sandai Kitetsu was the cursed sword he had tamed himself. It felt incredibly natural in his hands.

Which sword should he replace?

In the end, faced with all those fine swords, Zoro gritted his teeth and chose only one hard, red alloy blade as a spare.

Watching Houka put away all the other fine swords made his heart ache.

He suddenly wished he had three heads and six arms.

Then he could wield nine fine swords!

"Father, have some juice and snacks!"

Sanji instantly became the most enthusiastic person aboard, deftly whipping up delicious food in the kitchen.

He hoped Houka would pull out the Clear-Clear Fruit the very next moment.

Even if he didn't have it, that was fine.

He only needed to tell Sanji where it was.
