Chapter 144

Sanji took a deep breath, his eyes resolute.

Then.

"Huh? How do you use this?"

Sanji looked at the jar with a somewhat bewildered expression, touching it here and there.

The entire black jar was almost perfectly sealed, with nothing particularly unusual about it.

After fumbling around for a while, Sanji finally discovered a hidden button on the side of the jar.

That despicable Judge! His battle suit design is as dark as his personality; even the buttons are made to be so hidden!

While cursing inwardly, Sanji solemnly pressed the button.

He's only thirteen years old now, and he's really looking forward to seeing what he'll look like in his combat suit.

The light instantly enveloped Sanji.

"Oh!!"

Binz's eyes lit up instantly, "Naito, look! Transformation!"

Naito smirked.

What man could resist a cool transformation?

Although, judging from the anime, the Vinsmoke family's battle suits actually look more like magical girl suits than Kamen Rider.

The combat suit is essentially a special memory metal. It possesses extraordinary toughness and can automatically adapt to the user's body shape. Furthermore, because it is memory metal, it can automatically return to its original shape after deformation. Theoretically, as long as there is no loss, it can recover indefinitely.

The light quickly faded, and Sanji, dressed in a black battle suit, appeared before everyone.

"Oh! Not bad!"

Binz immediately stroked his chin, looking Sanji up and down. "He's pretty handsome, lad."

"Yeah?"

Sanji couldn't see his full appearance at that moment; he just looked down at his body with a curious expression.

He was dressed entirely in black combat gear, with white gloves and boots, and his face was covered with a black mask.

He wore a black cloak with a large "3" printed on it.

"It can't be as simple as just putting on a piece of clothing, can it?"

Ain said with great interest, "Sanji, how about we give it a test?"

"Um."

Sanji nodded, then a look of surprise crossed his eyes. "This outfit is so strange, it's like an extension of my body."

He clenched his fist. "It seems to be cooperating with me."

Naito, however, didn't find it strange.

It was designed specifically for Sanji, and the other three brothers' battle suits can even enhance their Lineage Factor abilities, of course, there is some kind of special connection between them.

Sanji suddenly took a deep breath.

Then.

He lowered his body and dashed out in one breath.

Like a black gust of wind, it swept away a distance in the blink of an eye.

"The speed has increased considerably!"

"It can enhance physical abilities? It seems my strength must have increased too," Binz exclaimed in surprise.

"It seems there's more than that, Brother Binz."

Sanji turns around.

The next instant, the jet vents on the heels of his oddly shaped boots suddenly spewed out a violent stream of gas.

Sanji's body blurred into a blur, appearing almost instantly in front of Binz.

"So fast?"

Binz was startled; this speed was almost approaching the most basic shave!

"And it seems like it can be done this way too."

Sanji suddenly leaped into the air; the enhancements to his battle suit, combined with the jet thrusters, propelled him dozens of meters into the air.

Then, he floated in the sky.

"Eh!!"

Binz stared in disbelief, "It flew!"

"No, it's not flying."

Ain keenly observed that Sanji's height was slowly decreasing. "He's levitation!"

"It seems so, but,"

Sanji looked down, the sudden mid-air position giving him a thrill. "And with the jets—"

High-pressure gas shot out from the jet nozzles on his heels again, propelling Sanji through the sky like a rocket.

"Now it really flies!"

Binz marveled.

First it was shaving, and now it's Geppo!

Could there be Tekkai inside? Speaking of combat suits, they must have defensive capabilities too!

So, as Sanji landed lightly on the ground, Binz excitedly said, "Sanji, let's test your defense again! I'll test it for you!"

Sanji didn't hesitate much and nodded immediately, "Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Binz- nii-san."

He stood up straight and puffed out his chest.

"Then you'd better stand firm, kid!"

Without hesitation, Binz punched Sanji in the chest.

With a muffled thud, Sanji swayed slightly.

"How about it?"

Binz looked at Sanji expectantly.

"It doesn't hurt."

Sanji touched his chest. "It felt like I'd been lightly hit by a pebble."

"Pebble?"

Naito chuckled and said, "Binz, are you sure you can handle this?"

"I'm just afraid of Sanji!"

Binz glared at Naito, then looked at Sanji, "Sanji, now it's my turn!"

"Okay! Come on, Brother Binz!"

Sanji struck a pose again.

"Drink!"

Binz slammed a heavy punch into Sanji.

The powerful force sent Sanji flying.

The boy did a somersault in the air, then hovered in mid-air and slowly flew back.

"It hurt a bit this time, like I was hit hard by some small animal."

"Small animals?"

Binz gritted his teeth, "Then get ready, Sanji, this punch is going to be all out!"

The next moment, he sprang forward and threw a powerful punch, hitting Sanji in the stomach.

This time, Sanji transformed into a cannonball, flying directly towards the distant sea.

But soon, the boy adjusted his posture in mid-air, activated his jet engines, and flew back.

Sanji clutched his stomach, his voice sounding nauseous, "It worked this time, I feel a bit nauseous."

Are you kidding me?

Binz was somewhat dumbfounded.

Although he didn't use any of the Six Powers or Haki, he really threw a punch with all his might!

So all that happened was that Sanji felt a little nauseous?

Doesn't that mean he has to go all out for even a chance of hurting his little brother?

"What amazing defensive capabilities!"

Even Ain couldn't help but marvel, "Is this the power of science?"

"It seems there's more to it than that."

Sanji's words caused both Ain and Binz to change color.

That's not all?

Not over yet?

Sanji lifted the cape on his back and held it in front of him, "The cape's defensive capabilities seem even higher."

"No way?"

Binz's lips twitched slightly.

The clothing already provides defense comparable to Tekkai; is the cloak even more protective?

"Let's do it again!"

Binz took a deep breath.

To avoid losing face in front of my little brother again, I'll use my Shigan and my Haki this time!

Laugh.

A slight whooshing sound.

Sanji's cloak seemed to have been hit by something, bulging exaggeratedly backward and slamming into Sanji, causing him to cry out in surprise and stagger Return.

"Huh?"

Binz was somewhat bewildered; he hadn't even made a move yet?

Since it wasn't him, then it could only be—

He turned around and saw Naito slowly retracting his right index finger.
