Binz noticed his younger brother's expression. "Is something wrong? If you're feeling unwell, just say so! Don't keep quiet just because you don't want to be near His Judge!"

"Rear Admiral Naito, Brother Binz..."

Sanji looked at the two of them, then hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "Will I become like Ichiji and the others? Will I become a cold-blooded, ruthless monster like them?"

"This..."

Binz didn't know how to answer; he knew absolutely nothing about Lineage Factor.

"So Judge,"

Garp had been quietly observing, looked at Judge and urged, "Will this child lose his emotions?"

This child is a year younger Ace. Wouldn't it be a shame if he turned into a heartless monster?

Judge continued to gaze intently at Sanji. Yes, not only was Sanji immune to his commands, but he also retained his human emotions.

"Mr. Judge,"

Naito crouched down, looking directly into Judge's eyes. "Everyone's waiting for your answer."

"Call--"

Judge a slow sigh, then said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Since we still retain normal emotions, then we won't change them."

This kid's Lineage Factor ability has been fully Awakening; there's no way it can be changed any further.

"Did you hear that, Sanji?"

Binz was overjoyed. He patted his younger brother on the shoulder excitedly and said, "You'll be alright! You're still the same you!"

"Won't it change?"

Sanji looked up in a daze, and the gloom on his face slowly faded away.

In other words,

Ain tilted her head. "Sanji gained a new ability without paying any price, right?"

Binz's delighted expression froze for a moment.

That's really true.

First it was a battle suit, now it's Lineage Factor abilities— Sanji's practically leveled up on the spot!

How strong has Sanji become now?

"Let's test it out."

Naito looked at Sanji, "Sanji, if you don't want to go to Judge's lab, then test your new ability in battle."

"No problem!"

Sanji nodded solemnly.

Since he won't end up like Ichiji and the others, Sanji has nothing to be afraid of!

"Well, Binz,"

Naito named, "Go for it."

"Is it me again?"

Binz gritted his teeth, "Bring it on!"

He simply refused to believe that Lineage Factor Sanji, who was only Awakening somewhat strong when not wearing his raid suit, could suddenly soar to new heights and embarrass him.

Immediately, the two assumed their fighting stances again and stood facing each other.

"Come on, Sanji!"

Binz, head held high and chest puffed out, said, "Do your best!"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony, Brother Binz!"

Sanji took a deep breath.

All the muscles in his body tensed up in that instant, and his power surged out like a volcano.

Whoosh!

Sanji's figure vanished from his spot almost instantly.

"What?"

Binz only had time to cry out in surprise before he was sent flying.

Only Sanji, who had suddenly appeared, remained Return two steps due to the recoil.

"Huh?"

He blinked, somewhat bewildered.

The speed was too fast; even he himself wasn't used to it.

"So fast!"

Ain's expression turned serious. "It's just as good as when I used Shave!"

At this moment, Judge, who had been silently watching from the sidelines, slowly spoke up, "Sanji's Lineage Factor ability is speed. According to my calculations, his speed will be so fast that he can almost become invisible."

So that's why it's called Stealth Black?

Ain was quite shocked.

Has Sanji's speed already become so astonishing simply because Awakening his Lineage Factor?

Then what about putting on the combat suit specially prepared for him?

What if you mastered the Six Powers as well?

Ain then realized something: Sanji, that kid, would soon surpass them and leave them far behind!

Naito has taken in an extraordinary young man!

"Speed is fast enough, let's test strength next, Sanji!"

Binz, who had flown a long way, leaped back and crashed heavily in front of Sanji.

Thankfully, they used the Tekkai, otherwise, if Sanji had crashed into them at that speed, he would have at least suffered a bone fracture.

"Okay, Brother Binz!"

Sanji didn't hesitate at all, immediately launching a flying kick, "Mouton Shot!"

There was no running start for acceleration, because the test is purely based on strength.

Thump!

A heavy kick landed on Binz's waist.

Binz's straight back bent backward, and his body staggered back two steps uncontrollably.

"Oh, not bad."

Naito said with great interest, "Although it didn't break Binz's Tekkai, it wasn't far off."

Even disregarding the exoskeleton, regenerative abilities, and special speed, the base stats that the Lineage Factor alone adds to Sanji are already astonishing.

At that moment, Judge also noticed that something was wrong.

Is Sanji stronger than Ichiji and the others?

This kid clearly hasn't gone through any rigorous training.

"You still need to practice, Sanji."

Binz patted his stomach and said casually, "That's still pretty impressive. My Tekkai almost couldn't hold up."

This kid's strength has increased way too much!

If he were to accelerate and kick, I would really have to use Armament Haki to defend against it.

If he puts on his combat suit again...

Binz couldn't help but swallow.

Can't I have some Lineage Factor too?

This feeling of getting stronger without any responsibility is just so awesome!

"Truly worthy of being called Brother Binz!"

Sanji, unaware of his older brother's inner thoughts, said with an expression of admiration, "I tried my best, but I still couldn't hurt you!"

"Cough cough."

Binz coughed. "Alright, we've shown you the power and speed. Now, it's time for the main event!"

He looked at Sanji with a serious expression, "Are you ready?"

Naito had told them that the most powerful abilities of these Vinsmoke family Lineage Factor cyborgs were their indestructible exoskeleton defense and extraordinary regenerative abilities.

"Come on, Brother Binz!"

This time, it was Sanji's turn to stand tall and declare, "I'm ready!"

"Then I won't be polite!"

Binz certainly didn't hold back, appearing right in front of Sanji with a shaved head and delivering a heavy punch to Sanji's chest.

Sanji was sent flying like a cannonball.

Then, the young man deftly flipped in the air and landed lightly on the ground.

"Brother Binz!"

Sanji remained calm, without a single mark on his body. "You can hit harder!"

We've given it our all!

Binz screamed inwardly, "Is the real body even tougher than the combat suit?"

Since that's the case.

Shigan!

Binz stabbed Sanji in the chest with Shigan.

This time, Sanji wasn't sent flying; he just Return a few steps.

Even so, the boy only had a hole in his clothes, and his exposed skin was still fair.

"How can it be that hard?"

Binz couldn't help but shake his fingers, but it was his fingers that felt a little sore.

"Use your Haki, Binz."

Naito spoke up, "Use your full strength."

"... Then let's go!"

Binz launched himself in front of Sanji again and used his Shigan once more.
