"Looks like this is going to be tricky."
After hearing Norton's explanation, Ye Chen frowned, his thick eyebrows drawing together into two dark lines.
Trafalgar Law fell silent too, lost in thought. Norton advised them, "I know you're good people, but I have to warn you: give up on opposing the Demon Gate. Otherwise, you'll make enemies of everyone in this country. What just happened is the perfect example."
Ye Chen nodded. Norton was right. He and Sanji had saved Donna and her daughter, only to get Donna's father killed. Then thousands of people had chased them down. The Demon Gate's power was terrifying.
After a moment, Trafalgar Law said, "We can't act rashly. This isn't Dressrosa. The Demon Gate controls the entire country, and the people firmly support it. Going in by force will only make things worse. We need a better plan."
Once Nolan and Norton had eaten their fill, they thanked Ye Chen again and again. Tears in their eyes, they said goodbye.
A little later, Sanji came back with his head down. Seeing his grim expression, Ye Chen hurriedly asked, "Sanji, what happened?"
"Damn it, I'm useless. I couldn't help at all. Donna was forced to choose a man in the end—the oldest one, that old geezer. They're holding the wedding tonight."
"They are?"
Ye Chen was furious too. He wanted to rescue Donna, but it was far from simple. Even if he got her out, it would only be temporary. Once the Demon Gate was alerted, its followers would swarm them.
"Something's wrong! There's a fight!" someone suddenly shouted in the street. Then an arm stretched out nearby, and Ye Chen recognized Luffy at once.
Sanji gritted his teeth. "Here comes trouble. Looks like Luffy's gone and done something reckless again."
Bang! A bloodied man
