A strange chill arose from the depths of his heart. It's over, this time I'm really screwed! he thought.
Just as he expected...
"He should be beaten black and blue!"
Zoro had disliked Sanji for a long time, and now that the Captain had spoken, his smile nearly reached his ears, and he immediately pulled out his Three Sword Style.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Sanji's eyes widened. "I just said a few words, do you have to be so cruel?"
Sanji knew he was no match for Zoro at the moment. The gap in their aura wasn't just a little bit!
"Does it have to be so excessive?"
Luffy grinned. "Look at the way my girls are looking at you, their eyes are almost popping out. I'm being polite by not killing you, hey~ enjoy."
As soon as he finished speaking, there—
Three Sword Style: Yaksha Crow!
Ouch!
With a bang, Sanji clutched his ribs and was sent flying a few meters. Luffy found the scene amusing. The two of them often fought on the ship, and watching it early was quite entertaining. Moreover, Zoro was clearly holding back.
They might verbally hate each other, but you two are true brothers.
Soon after, the two of them grappled, and the atmosphere at the table instantly livened up.
Sanji wailed, "Why am I the unluckiest person in this world!"
On the other side, outside the restaurant.
On the sea, about one kilometer away.
A pitch-black ship like a coffin slowly approached. In the middle of the ship, a man sat with sharp, hawklike eyes. Annoyed that the ship was moving slowly, he took a long sword from his back and used it as a paddle.
However, after a few swings, he suddenly felt several pairs of eyes on him. He looked up! On a large ship, several skeletal-thin men were clutching the railing and watching him from a distance.
"They... actually found me?"
The man pulled his stiff lips and retrieved the famous sword "Yoru" from the sea. Then, for reasons unknown, he suddenly became angry. He stood up, held the large sword, and slashed viciously.
The next second, an invisible slash shot out, spanning nearly a kilometer, splitting the warship in two!
Boom!!!
The giant ship overturned and sank, with no one surviving. The loud sound shook the restaurant.
"You two stop fighting!"
Sanji, who was covered in bruises, was kicked by Zoro several meters. Then he looked outside in horror. Zoro also heard the sound and turned his head. His eyes suddenly widened!
"That's... Hawkeye?!"
Luffy sat there, turning his head to look outside. The large ship that had been blocking the way was now split in two. The cut was perfectly flat, and it was slowly sinking.
"That's right, it's him!"
Zoro stopped his attack on Sanji. He looked at the ship outside, and a trace of madness flickered in his eyes.
"Hawkeye?" Kaya asked curiously. "Who is he?"
"One of the Shichibukai, the greatest swordsman in the world!" Zoro exclaimed with excitement, even before Luffy could answer.
"Wow, the greatest in the world?"
Just that title shocked everyone present.
"Luffy, I want to go!"
Zoro's voice trembled as he suddenly turned to Luffy. There was both excitement and fear in his eyes. Just one sword, and the whole ship was destroyed, he already knew the gap between himself and that man. But he still wanted to try!
Luffy was amused. "If Zoro said he wouldn't go, I would have been in trouble. His goal is right in front of him, but he's backing down? That's not Zoro."
"Come on, I'll join you," Luffy said as he stood up and led his crew outside.
"Hey!" Sanji yelled. "Didn't you say that man is the greatest in the world, why do you still want to go..."
Although Sanji liked beautiful women, his loyalty to his nakama was unwavering. Even though he had just been beaten black and blue, he didn't want Zoro to take risks.
But Luffy didn't wait for him to finish, calmly cutting him off: "Come on, Sanji. Weren't we here to find a chef?"
