"Of course, I will definitely prepare the most perfect and amazing banquet for Francis Drake-sama!"
Sanji clenched his fists, eyes turning into red heart shapes.
But soon, he looked at Genrou with a face full of jealousy.
"Damn it, why is it you who gets to summon Drake-sama?"
"If only I could summon her too."
"Genrou, can you teach me how to summon Heroic Spirits as well?"
Hearing this, Genrou looked at Sanji speechlessly.
"I can summon Drake because of a special Noble Phantasm she possesses."
Not to mention whether you could even obtain her template; even if you did, summoning her would still be extremely difficult.
After all, unlike me, you guys can't use all of a Heroic Spirit's skills just by being strong enough.
Of course, Genrou didn't say that part out loud.
"Damn it, so only you can summon her. You're too enviable."
"Right, they say you have the Suke Suke no Mi (Clear-Clear Fruit) that grants invisibility. You still have it, right?"
"Come on, since you already have invisibility abilities, why not give me the Suke Suke no Mi? It's my lifelong dream."
"Plus, I heard from Usopp and the others that it can make entire ships invisible, right?"
"If I eat the Suke Suke no Mi, then if we encounter situations like before, I could help everyone too."
Sanji, who had been looking despairing moments before, suddenly regained his energy at the mention of the fruit.
His eyes locked onto Genrou's, as if afraid he would refuse.
Genrou smiled at Sanji. Knowing the original story well, how could he not understand Sanji's true reason for wanting the fruit?
Nearby, Nami also eyed Sanji suspiciously.
"Let's leave the fruit aside for now. More importantly, let's see what Heroic Spirit powers you can gain first, Sanji."
Genrou said with a smile.
"Heroic Spirit?"
Sanji blinked in confusion before feeling a sudden dizziness.
When he came to, he found himself in a pitch-black Heroic Spirit space.
"What is this place?"
Sanji looked around and was quickly captivated by the glowing, futuristic Heroic Spirit interface before him.
"Cough cough, let your senpai explain it to you, Sanji."
At that moment, Usopp walked over proudly, raising his hand to point at the names on the interface.
"See these names? You get to choose one of them as your Heroic Spirit template."
"Like me, I chose King, and Zoro chose Kokushibo, and so on."
"Let's see, your three options are: the 'Chef' attribute Emiya Shirou, the 'Leg Technique' attribute Lenalee Lee, and the 'Perverted Old Man' attribute Kame Sennin (Master Roshi)."
Beside them, Nami crossed her arms and frowned.
"Perverted old man, huh. Really suits your style, Sanji."
"Speaking of which, your desire for the Clear-Clear Fruit isn't because of that attribute, is it?"
Hearing this, Sanji turned towards Nami in a panic to explain.
"Nami-swan, please believe me. I'm not a pervert; I just appreciate and respect every lady deeply."
"I absolutely have no improper thoughts. There must be something wrong with this panel."
Sanji said desperately.
"Is that so? Then why don't you try touching the words 'Perverted Old Man' and prove it?"
"Clicking 'Perverted Old Man' will clear my doubts about you? I understand, I'll do it now."
Sanji said, raising his hand to press on the words under 'Kame Sennin' that read 'Perverted Old Man'.
At that moment, he had no idea just how much shame awaited him.
As the Heroic Spirit space trembled, light returned to the pitch-black surroundings.
Sanji rubbed his eyes and looked around, only to widen them in shock the next second.
"T-That... is that me?!"
Sanji pointed at the man ahead – wearing a black suit and with golden hair just like his.
"That's right, it's you."
Genrou walked over at that moment.
He patted Sanji on the shoulder with an expression of deep regret.
"My Heroic Spirit space never makes mistakes."
"If it's detected you have a 'Perverted Old Man' attribute, then you definitely are a pervert."
"And this footage of your past is the proof."
As Genrou spoke, the vision changed to show Sanji acting stealthily.
He looked extremely shady as he confirmed no one was around before sneaking into the women's bath.
Of course, he was quickly beaten out by the ladies inside.
But rather than looking pained, screen-Sanji looked utterly satisfied.
He even muttered that if he had the Clear-Clear Fruit, he could see even more.
"So, this is your so-called misunderstanding, Sanji? Getting the Clear-Clear Fruit to peek into women's baths?"
"No, Nami-swan, I can explain!"
Sanji's mind spun at high speed, desperately searching for a reason to convince her.
After all, this was about whether he could get the Clear-Clear Fruit or not.
But before he could speak, the footage changed again.
The protagonist was still Sanji, and the content was the same.
"Sanji, do you still want to explain?"
Nami crossed her arms, staring sternly at him.
Sanji turned to look at Nami, but no excuse came to mind.
"Looks like you're out of words."
"Vice-captain, as the only woman in the Straw Hat Pirates, I strongly request that you do not give Sanji the Clear-Clear Fruit."
"Otherwise, I'll never be able to bathe in peace again."
"If you do give it to him, I'll remember every single time I'm peeped on, and I'll hold you responsible."
Nami turned and said to Genrou.
