"Come out!"
After Molly left, Zoro let out a soft shout. He had been using Observation Haki to probe, and although Sanji was wearing a special combat suit, he still managed to detect a clue.
Sanji was taken aback for a moment, but without thinking much of it, he pushed open the door and went inside.
Upon seeing Sanji's attire, Zoro's lips curled into a strange smile.
Sanji got a little irritated by Zoro's gaze and said fiercely.
"What are you looking at, Mosshead? This is a combat suit that allows you to become invisible!"
After saying that, Sanji, as if showing off, manipulated his Raid Suit and concealed himself on the spot. However, even against Zoro who had broken through his limits, a slight clue could still be discerned.
"Hehe, that's indeed impressive, but we should still be careful when facing Admiral strength; we can still detect anything unusual."
As he said this, Zoro couldn't help but smile, clearly showing a hint of pride.
"Tch, Mosshead, while I may not be able to beat you, with my abilities and this combat suit, I'm not incapable of fighting an Admiral, or at least escaping."
Sanji spoke these words with great confidence, as if he had a lot of reason to back them up.
Zoro didn't refute it, after all, the two had known each other for many years and had been improving together, so he knew Sanji quite well.
"Hmm, not bad. With the Speed-Speed Fruit and your Raid Suit, you can actually hold your own against Admiral. But your attack power is still too weak; you don't have a trump card to win."
Sanji learned all his skills at the Baratie restaurant. His benefactor was just a notorious pirate, and his teaching focused primarily on cooking.
Although Sanji has Vinsmoke Family blood, he did not receive guidance from strong figures like Garp and Koshiro from a young age.
Although he was comparable to Zoro and Luffy in the early stages, his foundation was still somewhat lacking.
Sanji nodded silently, saying nothing. He was already quite satisfied with his current strength.
Zoro suddenly thought of Kuina's massive sword, which was dozens of meters long, and immediately spoke up.
"Perhaps you could ask your sister, Reiju. Lin Yuan has some special weapons that might compensate for your lack of attack power."
"Hmph, I won't go looking for her!"
Sanji refused without hesitation, but he kept Zoro's words in mind. If he could have such a weapon, he might actually be able to break through to the level of Admiral.
"I heard what you and Molly were talking about. Is everything you said true?"
Zoro nodded. He already knew that the person outside was Sanji, so he didn't hide it from him.
"That's good, but you should do the same as Molly and not tell anyone. If Molly hadn't discovered the nautical chart, I might have only taken it out after challenging Kaido."
Zoro didn't hide it. Now, three people in the Straw Hat Pirates, including himself, already knew about it, and he didn't plan to tell anyone else.
"Are you really sure? You have to understand that he's Celestial Dragons, a god-like being with eight hundred years of rule. Can Lin Yuan really overthrow him?"
When Sanji said this, he was also unsure of himself. On one hand, there was the behemoth that ruled the world, which also had the Navy as its henchman. On the other hand, there was the rapidly rising " Abyss " Trading Company, whose leader, Lin Yuan, was terrifyingly powerful.
They originally thought that reaching the level of Admiral would allow them to roam freely in the New World, but Lin Yuan's appearance today taught them a harsh lesson.
Zoro had witnessed Lin Yuan's terrifying power, which allowed him to split the sea in two. According to Lin Yuan, his sword could defeat him.
Zoro had made his decision, and he looked at Sanji solemnly.
" Sanji, I've made up my mind. My dream is to become the World's Greatest Swordsman. By the time we help Laugh Tale reach Luffy, that'll probably be the time we disband."
Sanji's expression froze. He hadn't expected Zoro to say that, and he hadn't even imagined that the Straw Hat Pirates would disband one day.
"Don't overthink it. I reckon that given Luffy's personality, he'll disband the pirate crew by then, which is why I'm leaving. I absolutely must get the Shodai Kitetsu."
Carefully wiping the Nidai and Sandai Kitetsu, Zoro's eyes were filled with longing for the Shodai Kitetsu. With all three Kitetsu, he would have the confidence to challenge even Mihawk.
Sanji also discovered Zoro's new Famous Sword, which he guessed was given to him by Lin Yuan again.
However, the thought of disbanding the pirate crew still made him feel somewhat uneasy.
Do you really think that day will come?
"Heh, what do you think? Do you want to go with Luffy to challenge Lin Yuan? Let me tell you a secret: Lin Yuan has at least ten general-level experts under his command. It's impossible for him to help Luffy, especially since Vice Admiral Garp is that mysterious person."
Sanji was stunned, then his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. He couldn't help but shudder at the thought of that burly, mysterious man.
"You mean the mysterious man who taught us and almost killed us was Luffy's grandfather? Wasn't he dead?"
Zoro's face also showed a complicated expression, and he shook his head.
"He is indeed Luffy's grandfather. I saw it with my own eyes, and he is also one of Brother Lin Yuan's subordinates, though not the strongest among them."
Sanji was dumbfounded. He had considered helping Luffy challenge Lin Yuan, but after witnessing the opponent's terrifying power today, he decisively gave up.
Now that they've heard Luffy's grandfather is still alive and has been teaching them for a year, what's the point of fighting? Let alone Lin Yuan, sending Garp to deal with them is already giving the Straw Hat Pirates too much credit.
With that thought in mind, Sanji made a decision instantly.
"Alright, since that's your plan, I'll go with you. As for Luffy, when he sees Garp, he'll naturally join Lin Yuan in attacking the Celestial Dragons. We might not even have to disband the pirate crew."
Zoro looked at Sanji with surprise and asked curiously.
"What other ideas have you come up with?"
"Haha, didn't you say we'd definitely defeat Kaido, then we'd quickly head to Laugh Tale and make Luffy the Pirate King?"
"Then you contact Lin Yuan and ask Garp to intervene. We'll join them directly. I believe Lin Yuan will agree, after all, you and Luffy are quite formidable fighters."
Sanji spoke with absolute certainty, but he failed to notice the strange expression on Zoro's face.
Zoro knows that Luffy might be the reincarnation of Joy Boy, and the World Government might be eyeing them. Brother Lin Yuan once said that the World Government might take action against Luffy before he even starts a war.
"Sigh, it seems that my idea of disbanding the pirate crew hasn't even been put into practice before those old guys have already set their sights on it. But that's fine too, maybe I won't have to wait until the final war to get the Shodai Kitetsu."
Zoro's feelings were somewhat complicated. It seemed he could only take things one step at a time, but ultimately he would follow Lin Yuan to Mary Geoise.
" Sanji, since that's the case, let Luffy cause a ruckus!"
