The Chapter get Retranslated
Sanji and the chefs stared blankly at Don Krieg, who lay motionless at Luen's feet.
The man known as the overlord of the East Blue, the great pirate with a bounty of 17 million Beli, Captain Don Krieg, was instantly killed?!
That cloak, entirely made of steel spikes, was actually smashed to pieces by a punch?!
Is this man still human?!
"Sugoi!!!!" Luffy roared.
"Haki, is this the power of Haki?" Zoro, struggling to stand despite his severe injuries, murmured.
This power can only be obtained in the Grand Line.
It truly makes one's blood boil!
A beast-like smile tugged at Zoro's lips.
"Sugoi." Usopp was stunned.
How could a human's fist pierce through steel unscathed?
"Luen." Nami covered her red lips, looking at Luen, who seemed to glow in the center of the vast ocean, her eyes blinking rapidly.
So strong, truly so strong.
That Don Krieg, also a great pirate with a 17 million Beli bounty, known as the overlord of the East Blue, surprisingly couldn't even withstand a single move in front of Luen and was instantly killed.
Arlong's bounty was only 20 million Beli.
Even if he was stronger than Don Krieg, he wouldn't be strong enough to punch Don Krieg to death.
At this moment, remembering what Luen had once told her, Nami pursed her red lips.
"Captain!" Gin exclaimed in shock.
The invincible Captain Don Krieg was actually taken down by this man with one punch?!
"Plunder." Luen gave the command.
A purple light, visible only to Luen, was stripped from Don Krieg's body and obtained by Luen.
Don Krieg possessed a Deep Purple-level Superpower Entry.
Luen didn't bother to read the explanation for this Entry and directly converted it.
Don Krieg's combat power mainly relied on external equipment; his own Entries were limited to Nose Mouth Superpower.
After the conversion, Luen obtained a Deep Purple-level Entry, which was still quite good.
"Gulp!"
Under the horrified gaze of Gin, Sanji, and the many chefs, Don Krieg, who relied on his incredible strength and equipment to rampage through the East Blue, the so-called overlord of the East Blue,
His extraordinarily robust body suddenly began to shrivel.
His prominent muscles rapidly atrophied, eventually becoming utterly powerless.
With his strength-based Entries plundered by Luen, both his power and physique would become Luen's nourishment.
Luen would take everything from him.
"You, what did you do?!"
Gin rushed to Don Krieg's side, staring at Luen in horror as he witnessed Don Krieg's strange and terrifying transformation.
"I said, if you fight me, you must be prepared to lose everything." Luen showed a villainous expression.
Gin remained silent. A moment later, he slowly stood up, raising his weaponâa pair of tonfas with attached iron balls.
"Oh? You dare raise your weapon against me even after seeing Don Krieg's miserable state? Gin, the combat commander of the Don Krieg Pirates, the 'Demon Man,' with a bounty of 12 million Beli." Luen looked at Gin.
"Gin, what are you doing!" Sanji's eye twitched as he shouted.
However, Sanji also hadn't expected Gin to be the combat commander of the Don Krieg Pirates.
"12 million Beli, Gin, you're quite impressive, but you're no match for Luen.
That guy Luen beat up isn't a good person, why would you fight for him?" Luffy shouted at Gin.
"I know I'm no match for Mr. Luen, but I am, after all, the Captain's subordinate! My dream is to assist him!" Gin's face was grim, his eyes firm.
"A commendable resolve. However, having raised your weapon as a pirate, you must also be prepared to lose everything, right?" Luen's lips curved into a domineering arc.
"I've long been prepared!" Gin roared, swinging his iron-balled tonfas at Luen.
"Clang!"
Accompanied by a metallic crash, Gin's forehead was covered in cold sweat as he stared in horror at the scene before him.
He aimed for Luen's abdominal liver area, a major weakness for humans. His iron-balled tonfas, if they struck an enemy there, would rupture their internal organs, leaving them unable to resist.
But!
Looking at the area on Luen's abdomen that had turned as black as ink, Gin's forehead was drenched in cold sweat.
This, is the power that took down Captain Don Krieg?
So, it can not only cover a fist but also a body?
So strong! So strong, like a monster!
Only a man like this can conquer the Grand Line, right?
He and Captain Don Krieg are simply frogs in a well. Gin smiled freely, looking at Luen.
"Come on, end this! Mr. Luen!" Gin shouted loudly.
"Very well!" Luen looked at Gin and smiled.
"Bang!"
Gin allowed Luen to punch him in the head, losing consciousness.
"Gin, you idiot." Sanji murmured, looking at the fallen Gin.
He didn't blame Luen; after all, it was Gin's own choice.
If Luen hadn't defeated Gin, it would have been an insult to a man who had made such a resolve.
Men of the sea can die, but they cannot lose their dignity and dreams.
But Sanji looked at the fallen Gin and the severely injured Zoro beside him, his eyes bloodshot.
One after another, they sacrificed themselves for dreams and ambitions.
They knew they couldn't win, yet they still tried to show off.
But! Sanji clutched his chest. Why was his blood boiling so fiercely?
All Blue, that legendary place where the Four Seas meet, rumored to possess all the fish and ingredients in the ocean.
Sanji's dream, after witnessing everything before him, blazed fiercely, inextinguishable.
"Plunder." Luen showed no mercy.
Admiration is one thing, but as Luen said, if you draw a weapon against him, you must be prepared to lose everything. Luen would not show mercy to Gin, who had made that resolve.
This is a pirate!
After plundering and converting the Entries from Gin, Luen obtained six Light Purple-level combat Entries.
Gin's strength was still inferior to Don Krieg's, and also to Kuro, whose Entries Luen had plundered before. He had no Deep Purple-level Entries.
The reason Sanji struggled so much in the original story was first because he had gone through a gauntlet of battles and was already injured.
Furthermore, before awakening Haki, without a weapon and relying only on kicks, he was at a natural disadvantage against Gin, who had weapons.
"Gulp!"
Gin's body was completely stripped of its power.
"Hey!" Luen grabbed Gin, leaped, and landed next to Sanji.
"He's your friend, right? Don't worry, he's not dead; his power was just twisted."
Luen placed Gin next to Sanji.
"It's enough that he's alive. As a pirate throwing himself into battle, one must be prepared to lose everything." Sanji looked at Gin, a slight smile on his lips.
"But who exactly are you, to be able to steal others' power?" Sanji looked at Luen, his eyes wide with surprise.
Witnessing such power was truly terrifying.
"You'll know once you become our companion." Luen smiled at Sanji.
"Old man, do I not have to work anymore?" Luffy and the others had seen Luen's ability back in Syrup Village.
Luffy grinned at Zeff.
"Ah, you're free." Zeff smiled.
"Great, we can set off!" Usopp shouted.
"We can set off, Sanji." Luffy looked at Sanji, grinning.
"When did I say I was leaving with you guys? These guys here, one after another, are unreliable. How can I leave this place?" Sanji looked at the sea, lighting a cigarette.
"But one day, I will sail the Grand Line." Sanji murmured.
"Then let's go now." Luffy came next to Sanji, grinning.
"The time isn't right yet." Sanji murmured, then showed a genuine smile.
"Hey, do you know about All Blue?"
Sanji eagerly began discussing his dream with Luffy. Luen glanced at Nami. She seemed to have something on her mind.
It seemed Nami was about to confess to him.
Perceiving Nami's emotional fluctuations with Observation Haki, Luen's lips curved slightly.
On the second-floor railing, Zeff looked at Sanji, who was smiling genuinely and talking about his dream, his eyes moving slightly.
The Don Krieg Pirates' subordinates were handed over to the Baratie chefs. These small-fry had no Entries above purple level, so they were useless to Luen.
However, from Pearl, the second-in-command of the Don Krieg Pirates, who fought Sanji in the original story and was eventually taken down by Gin with a tonfa, Luen managed to obtain a Light Purple-level Entry through plundering and conversion.
Adding Gin's six Light Purple-level combat Entries and the three Light Purple-level combat Entries converted from Jango, Luen now had twelve Deep Purple-level combat Entries.
Luen's Armament Haki strength was directly related to his physique.
Without hesitation, Luen used all these Entries to enhance his Superman*Beast Physique (Deep Purple).
He was only three Deep Purple-level threshold Entries away from ascending to a Super Purple-level Entry.
Luen's Armament Haki strength also grew stronger as a result.
And after strengthening the Superman*Beast Physique (Deep Purple) Entry, Luen, under the dumbfounded gaze of Zeff and the others, devoured a large amount of food, digesting it to replenish his lost stamina.
"Hey! Who made this soup!" Patty suddenly pointed at a bowl of soup and roared while eating.
Luen, who had almost finished eating, watched this scene, a smile playing on his lips.
They were a bunch of uncooperative idiots, but Luen didn't dislike such idiots.
"I did! It tastes great, doesn't it? I made it especially delicious today!" Sanji laughed loudly.
"Who can drink such foul-tasting stuff? Is this pig slop?" Patty said with disdain.
"Is there something wrong with your tongue?! Today's soup is my masterpiece!" Sanji's veins bulged on his forehead; he would not compromise when it came to cooking.
"It's terrible, truly terrible!"
"What kind of monstrosity is this?"
After Sanji spoke, more chefs tasted the soup he made, and they all showed expressions of disgust.
Sanji's expression became increasingly ugly, and he finally snapped.
"What do you guys want?!" Sanji roared, looking around at the chefs.
"Anyway, you're just a fake sous chef who only knows how to solve problems with violence."
"That's right, I've always disliked you."
The chefs glared at Sanji.
"We are chefs of the sea; we cannot waste a single bit of food."
Zeff suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention.
Under Sanji's gaze, Zeff finished the soup. Then.
"Smash!"
To Sanji's disbelief, Zeff violently smashed the empty plate.
"What is this muddy soup? If I serve this to guests, this place will go out of business."
Zeff snorted coldly.
"Hey! Old geezer! Explain yourself! How is the soup I make any different from yours?!"
Having his culinary skills negated by the person he respected most, Sanji couldn't hold back. He rushed forward, grabbed Zeff's collar, and roared.
"...To talk about cooking with me, you're a billion years too early, kid!
I'm a man who's cooked on all the seas of the world."
Zeff punched Sanji down and yelled.
Sanji clutched his cheek, then slowly stood up after a moment.
"Damn it!"
Sanji roared and stormed out of the restaurant.
Even with such a negation, he wouldn't lay a hand on Zeff. Zeff, he was thoroughly angered by him.
"This soup is clearly delicious."
After Sanji rushed out, Luffy scooped another bowl of soup.
Usopp nodded in agreement, and even Zoro, who inexplicably disliked Sanji, didn't deny it.
Nami, meanwhile, scooped another bowl of soup for Luen and herself.
Luen looked at Nami and smiled.
Sanji's cooking was indeed delicious.
"Of course it's good. Everyone here acknowledges Sanji's cooking skills."
Zeff slowly began.
"Ah, the soup is delicious."
"That guy really got angry; he scared me to death."
"The boss really knows how to give us a hard time."
The chefs all exhaled.
"But if we didn't say that, how would that guy, Sanji, obediently leave?"
Zeff looked at Luffy and Luen.
"You're still missing a chef on your ship, aren't you? This isn't a request, but can you take that kid with you?
You've seen his cooking skills, and his dream is on the Grand Line."
Zeff said with emotion. "I don't want to."
Luffy looked up.
"Eh?!"
Many chefs looked bewildered.
"Didn't you say you needed a chef on the ship?"
Zeff was also stunned.
"I really want him to come with us, but he wants to stay and be a chef. Even if you say that, I can't take him."
Luffy finished speaking, then raised his plate.
"Another bowl!"
"So, you want him to willingly come with you?"
Zeff smiled.
"Exactly."
Luffy said while eating.
"But will that kid obediently leave?"
Zeff stroked his beard.
"Probably not; he's a super stubborn idiot."
The chefs discussed amongst themselves.
"I heard everything, you bastards."
Outside the door, Sanji, who had returned, lit a cigarette and leaned against the door, looking at the sky.
"Well, we're off. Thanks for the hospitality."
After eating, Luen and the others prepared to leave, Luffy grinning.
"Hey, chef."
Just then, Sanji, having packed his luggage, walked over.
"For my dream, I'll go with you to challenge the Grand Line."
Sanji looked up, his face filled with determination.
"Hehehe, we have a chef now!"
Luffy yelled, grinning.
"Welcome, Sanji."
Luen smiled.
"Ah, I'll handle the cooking from now on."
Sanji said, walking towards the Going Merry.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye to them?"
Luffy pointed behind Sanji, to the group of chefs and Zeff.
"No need."
Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Hey, Sanji."
Just as Sanji was about to board the ship, Zeff's voice came.
Sanji paused, but didn't answer.
Old geezer, why is he calling him? Is he going to hug him and cry?
That's not how men should say goodbye.
Sanji made up his mind not to turn back, no matter what the old geezer said, to say goodbye like a man of the sea.
"Don't catch a cold."
Zeff, a smile on his face.
"!!!!"
Sanji bit his lip, tilted his head back, and his eyes welled up instantly, turning red with tears.
"Thud!"
He turned, and suddenly knelt down towards Zeff.
"Boss Zeff! Thank you for taking care of me for so long! I will never forget your great kindness!"
Sanji, tears streaming down his face.
Luen watched this famous scene unfold, a smile on his face.
Don't catch a cold, truly, concern that struck straight to the heart.
"You brat."
Zeff's eyes also reddened with tears.
"So lonely!"
"Take care, you bastard, Sanji!"
The chefs also wept loudly.
"You bastards! See you next time!"
After boarding the Going Merry, Sanji, with tear-streaked face, cursed and smiled at the many chefs.
"Sanji has joined the Straw Hat Pirates. Loadable entry updated."
"Modified Exoskeleton loading."
