Another street.
Sanji moved around the street, knocking down all the king's troops and rebel forces that appeared on the street.
"We are all Vivi's citizens, so stop fighting here."
He raised his foot and looked at the fallen man. After saying something, his body twisted into a noodle shape again, his eyes full of love, "Vivi, your knight is here and will definitely help you stop this rebellion!"
As he said this, he ran towards the palace.
At this time, he was not far from the royal palace on a high place. After crossing the street, he could see the huge steps leading to the palace. But at this moment, several people walked out of the nearby mansion.
One of them was holding a treasure chest covered with Baileys and gold coins, seemingly having a rich harvest.
"We robbed a lot."
The man smiled and said, "In this case, Lord Sager will definitely be satisfied."
"It's better to search more to be safe. The captain didn't get anything in the palace. Captain Palu is really something. He even wants to rob girls' private money, even if it's only 500,000 Baileys. But as pirates, we also have moral principles." said another person.
"That's true."
"Put it down!"
Just as they were taking action, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the air and kicked the man holding the treasure chest in the face, causing him to spin in the air and fall to the ground, sliding for several meters.
"Who are you?"
Several other pirates drew their weapons and shouted.
"Girls' private money."
There seemed to be a fire burning in Sanji's eyes, "You are not talking about Vivi's 500,000 Baileys, are you? Not only are you taking advantage of the civil unrest to rob, you are even stealing Vivi's money!"
Five hundred thousand Baileys. During the voyage, he heard similar words from Nami when she asked Vivi for payment.
For a princess to have only 500,000 Baileys of private money is already pitiful enough.
This group of people actually robbed it? !
Of course, that's not the point!
"What's wrong with pirates robbing? Who are you anyway?"
"Shut up, I don't care about that!"
Sanji yelled, "You must have broken into her boudoir, damn it, I want to go there too!"
"Is this what you care about?"
The pirates collectively turned white-eyed and yelled angrily, ready to charge forward with their weapons in hand.
Sanji clicked his tongue, bent his legs, and was about to kick away when his eyes suddenly fixed and he looked behind him.
"Stop it."
A voice sounded, stopping the pirates' actions.
"Captain Ajin?!"
At the exit of the street, a man with crutches appeared and walked towards this side.
"You are no match for him. Keep trying to rob him. I will take care of this guy."
Ajin walked to the front of the pirates and faced Sanji, smiling on his sinister and ferocious face: "Mr. Sanji, we meet again."
Sanji's eyes narrowed, "Ajin. The Calamity Pirates? You guys really cooperated with Crocodile, what do you want to do?"
"We don't know the captain's plan. The order we received was just to rob. Mr. Sanji, you should have been stopped by the agents outside. Why are you here?" asked Ajin.
"Agents? If they were that group of weird guys, they would have been dealt with by the navy when we arrived. Ajin, get out of the way, I don't want to fight with you, let me go to the palace." Sanji shouted.
"I see."
Ajin nodded and pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a forced smile:
"Mr. Sanji, you are my benefactor, and so are your pirates. You saved our men, and I don't want to fight with you. Captain Sager even said that he could invite you to the banquet. But if you want to go to the palace, that won't work. Captain Sager's plan cannot fail."
"As a subordinate, I have the obligation to eliminate any unknown factors. Can you please withdraw from this city? Once Captain Sager's plan is completed, you can do whatever you want."
Sanji was slightly startled, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, slowly exhaled a puff of smoke, and said in a deep voice: "It seems that we can't reach an agreement!"
Ajin sighed and dropped the crutches in his hands, with the side with the iron ball hanging downwards. His eyes sank and his face looked like a devil.
"Mr. Sanji, let me make it clear first. I am not the same as before. If you want to fight me, please try not to die!"
"Really? I've become stronger too. We haven't had a serious fight in the last battle at Barati, so let's do it now!" Sanji said with a smile.
"So."
Ajin bent his legs slightly and exhaled, "Here I come! Shave!"
Whoosh!
In just a moment, Ajin appeared in front of Sanji. Under his astonished gaze, he used his cane and hammer to hit Sanji's waist and ribs, causing his waist to bend and some blood to spurt out of his mouth.
However, the hammer did not successfully knock Sanji away. He held down the crutch with both hands and kicked forward with great force. His legs and feet turned into several afterimages on the way and hit Ajin's body.
"Paper painting."
Ajin's body softened and he kept twisting along with the wind created by the legs and feet, dodging the continuous kicks. When one of the kicks was thrust forward, he turned his body to the side and dodged it completely. At this time, another crutch with a hammer attached to it slammed towards Sanji's body.
Whoosh!
The hammer missed, and just as Ajin was about to attack, Sanji used the crutches to push his hands, jumped up, spun his body in the air, and chopped down Ajin's head with a kick like a battle axe.
This attack is not easy to dodge.
If you get hit in the skull, it won't feel good either.
Just...
"A lump of iron."
Bang!
Sanji's heel pressed down on Ajin's head, and the powerful kick caused a wave of air to spread out, but Ajin's body did not move at all, as if he was not hit at all.
"You're so hard." Sanji exclaimed in surprise.
"I've told you that I'm not the same anymore, Mr. Sanji."
Bang!
Ajin swung the stick in his left hand and hit Sanji's abdomen with the iron ball, causing him to bend subconsciously and spurt out a few drops of blood with his mouth wide open.
"You bastard!"
He gritted his teeth, grabbed the crutch with one hand, and while Ajin was still in an attacking posture, he kicked him hard in the neck like a whip.
"First meat!"
At this moment, Ajin stopped moving and said indifferently, "Iron block."
Bang!
A hollow sound like hitting something hard iron was aroused. Ajin didn't move at all. His ferocious eyes looked at Sanji, and a grim smile appeared on the corners of his mouth. At this time, he exerted force with his arms, pressed the iron ball against Sanji's abdomen, and threw it to the ground fiercely.
The heavy force caused a crack to appear on the ground. Ajin swung his crutch with his other hand and smashed it fiercely on Sanji's head when he landed.
"Tsk!"
Sanji suddenly spat out the cigarette in his mouth and flicked it towards Ajin's eyes, making him blink subconsciously. At this time, Sanji suddenly moved to the side, supported himself with both hands, and kicked Ajin in the abdomen with his hind foot like a hoof.
When attacking, the iron block naturally would not be used. The fierce kick of his legs and feet made Ajin subconsciously take a few steps back, and the iron ball that was smashed down also lost its direction.
boom!!
A loud noise echoed from the ground. The iron ball hit the ground, creating a deep hole and sending gravel flying out.
"Chance!"
Sanji held onto the ground, and his whole body spun violently, transforming into a pitch-black whirlwind. As his legs and feet continued to spin, he kicked towards Ajin's waist and ribs with great force.
"Crushed!"
"Iron block!!"
Ajin's eyes widened, and he stood still, shouting loudly.
Bang!!
The kick hit his waist and ribs hard. The huge force made Ajin's eyes roll up and his body moved sideways a little.
His eyes became fierce, and he thrust his crutch forward. The iron ball hit Sanji's face, carrying his body into the air and directly throwing it into the ground, sliding forward for a distance on the ground.
"Lan Jiao!"
At the same time as Sanji landed, Ajin suddenly kicked up, bringing out a vertical light blue slash, heading straight towards the opposite side.
Sanji felt all the hairs on his body stand up. He fell to the ground and rolled to the side, causing the slash to hit the ground. With a "swish", a cut appeared as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.
Sanji wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, covered his abdomen and stood up.
These two blows are really not pleasant.
"As expected of Mr. Sanji."
The whites of Ajin's eyes sparked with blood, and he grinned, "The force was really strong, it almost broke my iron block."
"What are these?" Sanji glanced at the cut and his expression became serious.
The hardness is different from that of an ordinary person's body, and there is this slash.
What kind of strange move is this?
"Six styles, the skills honed by Captain Sager, he taught us." Ajin said in a deep voice.
"It's indeed a powerful move. The one called Sager is pretty good. Ajin, it seems you followed the right person this time. In this pirate group, you are considered a big leader." Sanji smiled with relief.
Compared to when he was with Click, Ajin was in much better condition.
"No"
Ajin shook his head and said, "Although the captain gave me this share of the spoils, I don't think I am qualified for it."
Even when it came to the Six Styles, he used it very roughly.
Except for the 'paper painting' that he was best at, he had learned four of the remaining six moves, and only the Moon Step was still beyond his grasp.
However, these four moves have only just been mastered and are not yet proficient.
Captain Sager said that he had a good physique and could practice the six moves in all aspects. In order to live up to the captain's expectations, when he was on the ship, in addition to watching his men train, he also doubled his own practice.
In terms of qualifications, he did not think he was as 'good' as Captain Sager said. Compared with those senior cadres he recognized, he was far behind.
"Are you still not competent enough? When did you become so humble?" Sanji smiled.
"Mr. Sanji, you should have seen the three women around Captain Sager in Narohara. They are not ordinary people. They are the three real leaders of our pirate group."
Ajin said, "Lady Lily is a very powerful swordsman. I know you have Roronoa Zoro on board your ship, but I don't think he will be a match for Lady Lily, because Lady Lily has the power to cut through steel and possesses the Six Styles that is more proficient than I am."
Lady Lily has already mastered the 'shaving' and 'moon steps'. It's not that she can't learn the others, but she has no need for them, so she gave up those exercises.
"Ms. Marika is unfathomable. She possesses the same 'Life Return' as Captain Sager. Her own strength is also incredibly great. She can lift a building with ease. The shells she throws with her bare hands are more powerful than those fired from a cannon."
"Although Lady Renetia is still very young, she is the soul of the Death Star. She is also a user with the same special abilities as Straw Hat Luffy, and is also extraordinary."
Moreover,
Lady Lily is also a navigator, has a profound knowledge of theories, and possesses extremely strong command capabilities.
Lady Marika is an excellent cook and an indispensable presence on the ship.
Lady Renetia is proficient in mechanics and shipbuilding.
"Compared to them, I am good for nothing except fighting. All I know is fighting. But even so, I don't want to disappoint Captain Sager's expectations of me. For this reason, I will double my training and try to keep up with Captain Sager. I believe Captain Sager will definitely become the Pirate King!"
Ajin said in a deep voice: "Mr. Sanji, if you can't even defeat me, I advise you not to get close to the palace, you will really die."
Sanji shook his head and smiled, then lit up another cigarette and exhaled the smoke. He looked at the swirling smoke and muttered, "One Piece?"
"Ajin."
He looked at Ajin solemnly, "I also believe in our captain, Luffy, he will definitely become the Pirate King!"
"You are not the only one with a mission. Our captain has asked me to help Weiwei stop this rebellion. I must go to the palace, even if it costs me my life!"
"Yeah."
Ajin clenched his cane, "Then I'll have to knock you down, Mr. Sanji."
