Sanji was experiencing a very peculiar sensation.
The idea of turning his entire being into lightning had been unimaginable before, yet now it felt strangely within his grasp.
Although Sanji's greatest desire was to possess the Clear-Clear Fruit, since that had already been taken, inheriting the strongest Logia was nothing to scoff at.
Carl smiled and said, "Sanji, I had intended to find a Devil Fruit suitable for you, but it seems I don't need to worry about that anymore."
Sanji was slightly concerned. "Mr. Carl, is this fruit truly suitable for me? Besides, you're also an electric-type, so wouldn't I be redundant?"
Carl patted Sanji on the shoulder. "Sanji, since the fruit landed in your hands, you were chosen.
As for overlapping with my abilities, isn't it just for me to share the burden of flight? And your task begins from this moment onward.
Things are about to get much tougher. From now on, you are the most promising opponent of Marine Admiral Kizaru, and it will be up to you to stop him in the future!"
"Me? Stop a Marine Admiral?!"
Sanji was still in a daze.
Kizaru, whom Sanji had encountered in Loguetown, was a bizarre individual.
And now Carl was actually saying that he would be responsible for intercepting Kizaru one day in the future! Wasn't that an incredibly high expectation of him?
Carl suddenly became earnest. "Sanji, don't underestimate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. You are now the only one who can truly match Kizaru's speed.
You have to remember that it's not enough for the Straw Hats to only have Luffy and me. Everyone needs to become stronger.
Become strong so that we fear no one.
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit is your chance to become stronger quickly!"
Carl had high hopes for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
She had never specifically thought of finding such a fruit for Sanji before, but since he had eaten it, it was a fantastic development.
When facing Kizaru one day, Sanji would probably have a catchphrase: "Kizaru, have you ever been kicked by lightning?"
Absolutely brimming with impact!
As for awakening Sanji's bloodline genes, there was absolutely no need for it. Sanji didn't need any more ties with that ruthless family!
Sanji nodded awkwardly at Carl's words and then lit a cigarette to calm his nerves.
Luffy was overjoyed and declared they would hold a banquet to celebrate, leaving everyone speechless.
They had just had a three-day banquet on Skypiea, and the wine was still settling in their stomachs, yet he wanted to start another one! How much did Luffy love banquets!
Zoro commented that they should try their best to be careful when eating fruit in the future. Otherwise, if they unknowingly became Devil Fruit users, wouldn't it be a painful way to die?
The key was that while a good Devil Fruit was great, if you encountered a garbage fruit, there would be nowhere to cry.
However, Sanji's situation was truly rare, with the fruit practically falling into his hands.
If they bought a lottery ticket now, who knew if they would win the jackpot?
Carl took the opportunity to teach Luffy to eat fruit slowly in the future. Otherwise, if he accidentally ate a second Devil Fruit in the same way, then One Piece would end abruptly.
"Now there are Zoro, Mari, Tashigi, Shachi, Penguin, Bepo, and those medical staff on board who haven't eaten Devil Fruits. If we fall into the sea, I'll be counting on you!" Usopp said with a smile.
"Sorry to bother you!" Chopper chimed in.
"Hey! Long-nose is in charge! Bepo and the others aren't even Straw Hats!" Law couldn't help but say.
"Well, don't be so formal. We're already friends, aren't we?"
Luffy took it for granted, leaving Law utterly speechless. As far as Luffy was concerned, if you were a partner in his mind, then you were a partner, and there was no escape.
Moreover, by now, the entire sea probably considered the Heart Pirates to be affiliated with the Straw Hats.
Law could come up with an explanation that no one would believe, so he never bothered.
Carl comforted, "Law, don't be so down. Just consider it an alliance with us, and we'll help you fight Doflamingo in the future!"
Law could only take these words as solace. "Well, meeting Carl as the head of the family, I guess today's situation was inevitable. Our Heart Pirates will continue to serve as a medical team for the Straw Hats for the time being."
"Yo-ho! West! The party's over! The party's over! Celebrate Sanji and the others!" Luffy yelled again.
"I said it's only for the time being! I didn't join! Straw Hat-ya!" Law roared directly, his cool demeanor completely shattered.
Amidst the noise of the crowd, the Going Merry and the submarine successfully submerged into the sea.
Finally back! It was an amazing feeling!
With Carl's control, this time they didn't fall into the G-8 fortress like in the original story.
But Carl remembered that the G-8 Fortress arc was original anime content, and she wasn't sure if it truly existed in their reality.
"It doesn't matter; I won't go to that kind of place anyway. I haven't been down for a few days. I wonder if anything else has happened at sea. In any case, I'll find an island to stop at and see if I can buy the newspapers from the past few days."
Carl thought this but didn't say a word.
The next decisions were for the captain and the navigator, and Carl didn't need to worry about them.
"Nami, is the Log Pose ready?" Luffy asked.
"It's been set a long time ago. We don't know our current location, so let's head in the direction the Log Pose is pointing first."
As Nami said this, she directly instructed everyone to move and steered the ship forward quickly.
Carl had nothing to do and followed Usopp into the storage to tinker with the Dials. The two guys, Shachi and Penguin, also joined in, and the four of them lively discussed the uses of various Dials.
Among them, Nami's iron rod would be changed to a Clima-Tact, which would help improve Nami's combat capabilities.
In addition, Usopp's own slingshot should also be upgraded to greatly increase its power and range.
As for others, perhaps they could also learn from the people of Skypiea to create cloud paths for fighting, which might play an unexpected role.
The reappearance of the Straw Hats had attracted the attention of all parties.
There had been leaked information before, saying that the Straw Hats had gone to Skypiea, and many people expressed disbelief. After all, Skypiea was a legend in many people's minds, so they thought the information was false.
Of course, those who knew about the existence of Skypiea believed the information to be true.
In the next few days, the Straw Hats seemed to disappear, and more and more people believed the information that the Straw Hats had gone to Skypiea.
Moreover, as soon as the news that the Straw Hats had defeated Katakuri and Cracker came out, it once again shocked the sea. The Marines also responded quickly, and a new bounty poster was issued.
It directly confirmed the statement that the Straw Hats were the Fifth Emperor.
The current sea could be described as turbulent, and almost everyone was paying attention to the Straw Hat Pirates.
At the same time, a large wave of Straw Hat fans emerged, and many pirate groups wanted to join this emerging imperial power. But the prerequisite was that they must first find the location of the Straw Hats.
