And now, this naval hero has spoken!

Even Sanji instantly cast a hopeful glance at Naito.

"But, Rear Admiral Naito!"

Judge gritted his teeth. "I can't allow this guy to embarrass the Vinsmoke Family here."

He was indeed very afraid of Naito, but the revival of the Vinsmoke Family was his absolute top priority.

Sanji, as both a chef and a waiter, has brought shame to his family!

Especially now that his identity has been exposed!

"Understood, as long as it doesn't embarrass me, it's fine."

Naito looked at Sanji, "From now on, let's aim to become the world's number one chef."

Sanji was slightly taken aback, then overjoyed. He nodded vigorously, "Of course, no problem!"

"Rear Admiral Naito!"

Judge was still unwilling to give up.

Naito merely gave him a cold look. "Judge, child abuse is shameful enough as it is. Just give me some face."

Judge's expression stiffened slightly.

Since they were calling him "Judge" directly, Rear Admiral Naito was already in a bad mood.

He dared not argue further, and simply nodded stiffly. "Alright, since Rear Admiral Naito has said so, we'll let this kid off the hook this time."

Even so, he couldn't help but grit his teeth inwardly.

His eyes were fixed on Sanji.

Sanji, however, couldn't hold back his tears of joy.

Is the nightmare that has haunted me for so many years finally about to leave me forever?

However, Zeff is not as naive as Sanji.

He noticed Judge's gloomy expression.

This guy is definitely only making a temporary compromise out of fear of Rear Admiral Naito.

But what happens after that?

Afterwards, Rear Admiral Naito return to the Grand Line to continue fighting for the Navy, and he will no longer pay attention to this small restaurant in the East Blue.

What will Sanji do then?

This man named Judge originally wanted to take Sanji away, but now that he's been stopped by Rear Admiral Naito and has lost face, he doesn't dare retaliate against Rear Admiral Naito. So, who will he target next? Is there even a question?

Zeff looked down at Sanji, who was wiping away tears.

"Rear Admiral Naito, thank you so much!"

Sanji bowed solemnly to Naito.

Rear Admiral Naito is truly a hero of the Navy!

Zeff looked up at Naito, and he made up his mind.

"Rear Admiral Naito,"

Zeff looked at Naito seriously, "Is it possible to get Sanji to join the Navy?"

"What?"

Sanji turned around in surprise, "You old geezer, what are you talking about?"

Ain raised an eyebrow slightly, instantly understanding what the chef meant.

She looked at Sanji.

Although he had a cold-hearted biological father, he also had a very good adoptive father.

"Oh, are you afraid that Mr. Judge will retaliate against this kid later?"

Naito nodded, then looked at Judge, "Mr. Judge, would you do such a thing?"

Judge almost gritted his teeth, "Of course not."

Zeff didn't hesitate at all. "I don't trust him. A man who would even hurt his own son has no credibility with me."

"Hey, what are you saying, old man!"

Judge was instantly enraged.

While that's what he really thinks, what do you mean by saying it out loud, you old bastard?

Sanji's face gradually turned pale again.

He stared blankly at Judge.

This guy isn't ready to let me off the hook yet?

"This is a real headache."

Naito sized up Sanji. "Mr. Judge is indeed hard to trust, but the Navy doesn't accept kids that young."

The original plan was to control Judge and then have him send someone to Baratie.

But Zeff predicted it directly, so you can Future Sight too?

"Rear Admiral Naito..."

Judge was somewhat embarrassed.

"Let Sanji work as a kitchen helper or a general helper in the ship's galley, it'll be fine,"

Zeff said earnestly, "This kid may be young, but his skills are already second to none in the restaurant!"

"Besides, I've trained him, and he knows some combat techniques; he definitely won't hold us back!"

Hey! You old geezer! What are you saying?!

Sanji, though his face was deathly pale, still argued loudly, "Who said I was leaving!"

"Idiot!"

Zeff suddenly glared at Sanji with a fierce expression, "Do you want everyone to be implicated because of you?"

Sanji was completely stunned, staring blankly at Zeff.

"Please, Rear Admiral Naito!"

Zeff knelt down immediately in front of Naito, pleading, "Please take this kid away!"

"Hahaha, Sanji! You piece of trash, you've been rejected again!"

The three Vinsmoke brothers immediately burst into laughter.

"I'm going to become a stray dog again!"

"If I were you, I would have committed suicide long ago!"

Only Reiju had tears welling up in her eyes.

Sorry Sanji, it turns out you really did meet some really nice people.

But because of our arrival, you've lost everything.

I'm really sorry!

Ain was also somewhat moved at this moment.

What a touching relationship!

Naito appeared in front of Zeff in an instant, grabbed his shoulders and helped him to his feet. This guy was pretty savvy.

"Since things have come to this point, refusing now would seem like I'm being unreasonable."

Naito looked at Sanji, who was staring blankly, "Hey, Sanji, right? What do you say?"

Sanji stared blankly at Zeff, at those trembling eyes.

He finally raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears, then looked directly into Naito's eyes and nodded firmly, "I'll go with you, Rear Admiral Naito!"

Very good.

I've had enough of those two lousy cowards, Ain and Binz. The Navy Naito's true right-hand man has finally arrived!

Chapter 99 Farewell to Baratie! Sanji Wants to Get Stronger

Sanji's potential is beyond doubt.

He is the Vinsmoke Family's true masterpiece.

His Lineage Factor ability is probably stronger than that of his three brothers. At the very least, without their combat suits Ichiji and the other two shouldn't have been able to take a direct hit from Queen's sneak attack with their faces.

Moreover, Lineage Factor are secondary; Sanji is a true genius with outstanding talent, a true strongman who can constantly break through his own limits in battle after battle. He even possesses the potential for Conqueror's Haki.

He's the kind of person who could become Admiral under Naito Fleet Admiral.

"Then come with me."

After receiving Sanji's reply, Naito nodded in satisfaction. "From now on, you'll help out in the ship's kitchen. As for officially becoming a Marine, we'll talk about that when you're a few years older."

Sanji glanced at Naito, then nodded sullenly.

Zeff breathed a long sigh of relief.

In that case, Sanji is really safe, right?

Given how much Sanji's father feared Rear Admiral Naito, he would absolutely not dare to directly go to Rear Admiral Naito's ship to snatch people.

However, Rear Admiral Naito truly deserves to be called a new naval hero. He knew Sanji's situation and chose to protect him without hesitation.

Reiju also breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, joining the Navy is definitely better than being taken back to Germa by my father.

Moreover, it should be quite safe on Rear Admiral Naito's ship, after all, Rear Admiral Naito is really strong.

Then Naito turned to Judge, whose face was grim. "Mr. Judge, you wouldn't be so angry as to take revenge on Baratie East Blue, would you?"

"Of course not..."

Judge stammered, his tone dry, "I'm not that petty."

"That's good."

Naito nodded slightly. "I still have a few classmates in East Blue. I'll ask them to keep an eye on Baratie."

"Yeah?"

Judge's smile became even more stiff.

In other words, does that mean I absolutely cannot allow myself to retaliate against this restaurant?

Sanji understood the meaning behind Naito's words, pursed his lips, and thought, "Rear Admiral Naito, what a great guy."
