Is this really the Sea Overlord Krieg?
He looks no different from a beggar who hasn't eaten for days, holding a broken bowl on the street, saying, "Please, kind sir, spare me some food."
"What are you looking at?!!!"
Noticing their strange gazes, Gin, who was supporting him, immediately became exasperated.
He sternly shouted, "Hurry up and bring the food!"
Without Sanji's act of kindness from the original story, he, who only filled his belly as a referee and then quietly slipped away, naturally wouldn't have the good attitude he had in the original.
All that remained was the impression of the cold-blooded, cruel, and ruthless behavior of [Demon Gin] that he left on outsiders.
"Heh heh..."
After Gin finished speaking, Krieg, whom he was supporting, let out a low, inhuman growl from his throat.
This appearance was indeed quite miserable.
Despite Gin's terrible attitude, Sanji still turned and went to the kitchen due to his past experiences.
After some time passed, the shouting gradually subsided.
Then came a clamor, followed by the chefs' scolding and arguing, interspersed with sounds of ravenous eating.
Immediately after, there was another series of clattering noises, as if Krieg, revived by food and full of vigor, was negotiating terms with Zeff.
Well, it's the world of the Pirate King after all; despite not eating for many days, they can recover almost completely after just filling their stomachs. This physical constitution is unmatched.
Subsequently, Link and the others saw Krieg, who had regained his overlord demeanor, emerge from Baratie with a large cloth bag containing a hundred servings of food on his back.
The Sea Overlord, with light purple hair, a headscarf, dazzling golden armor, black boots, a large cloak, and a face resembling an Shoujou, now wore that arrogant, smug smile at the corner of his mouth.
He just looked very punchable.
"So what do we do next?"
The group watched Krieg, who carried over a hundred servings of food back to his ship. Even Usopp, having seen Krieg's pathetic state earlier, no longer felt any fear towards him.
This question was supposed to be answered by the captain.
But everyone, including Luffy, looked at Link first.
"It's a simple question. After recovering, he immediately stole over a hundred servings of food, clearly an ungrateful scoundrel."

Link said, "Taking so many servings of food indicates that everyone on his ship is half-dead from hunger, just like he was before."
"So, after eating and recovering, with a lingering fear of hunger, they desperately need a decent ship to improve their current situation."
"So, after they've eaten and drunk their fill, they'll set their sights on Baratie, right?"
Zoro gave the answer.
"Indeed."
Link nodded.
"Then we can't just stand by and watch."
Luffy shrugged his shoulders and grinned, "The old man, the head chef, has made me a lot of good food these past few days."
"We can't just watch this restaurant be taken over without doing anything!!!"
The others also nodded in agreement; they had received a lot of culinary care from old man Zeff during this time.
Perhaps knowing that Sanji would be with them later, their food got better and better each day.
"Perhaps we don't even need to make the first move."
Link smiled faintly, his gaze fixed on the distance.
In the far distance, at the end of the sea, a small raft-like boat appeared faintly.
Krieg, who had brought the food back to his ship, had no idea of the approaching danger.
After all, he could never have imagined that a monster, the world's strongest swordsman, would, out of boredom, not only annihilate his 5,000-man force but also follow them all the way to the East Blue.
Looking at the hundred surviving subordinates, their ravenous and ugly eating filled Krieg with immense disgust.
"With such a pathetic appearance, how could they possibly handle the Grand Line!"
Only the cold-faced Gin standing beside him slightly eased his expression.
But regardless, in the current situation where manpower was needed, these useless subordinates still had some use.
After his subordinates had eaten and drunk their fill, Krieg continued to incite them with the goal of advancing into the Grand Line.
At the same time, the small raft-like boat at the far end of the coast had silently approached.
On the ship, after Krieg killed a subordinate who was terrified and questioned him, no one dared to refute him again.
Krieg, who knew well how to deliver a blow and then offer a carrot, immediately decided to set his sights on the seemingly easy-to-take-over sea restaurant, where he could make a fortune.
At the mention of burning, killing, and plundering, the pirates immediately became spirited, clamoring to rush over.
However, just as Krieg was quite satisfied, and before they could even make a move.
"Whoosh!!"
A soft, almost imperceptible sound of airflow slicing through the air passed by.
The next second, under the inexplicably shocked gazes of everyone.
The entire black panther Dreadnought Warship instantly split into various fragments!!
Its massive hull, as if without any resistance, split straight into two halves!!
The part that was cut open in the middle appeared incredibly smooth, revealing the exquisite swordsmanship of the person who did it... exquisite sword art.
