Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

So they were brought here.

At this moment, most of the factory was deathly silent, and the machines had stopped running.

In the deepest, shadowy area not fully illuminated by the lights, hundreds of people were gathered.

They were dressed in rags, looked haggard, and had a bewildered look in their eyes as they regained their memories.

"Oh, I found it, I found it."

Usopp quickly shouted, "Hey everyone, come out and get up there! Doflamingo's reign is coming to an end!"

However, these people seemed afraid to make any move and all remained where they were.

"I am Cyrus! A warrior of the Liku army!"

Kyros stepped forward. "The fighting has already broken out at the royal palace. The Straw Hat Pirates are fighting against Doflamingo."

"Our compatriots are everywhere outside, their memories restored. The time for resistance has come!"

"Leave here to help those in need, and reclaim our country!"

Some people started to stir, but still dared not make any rash moves.

Just then, Sanji suddenly took half a step forward, took the cigarette out of his mouth, and stared sharply into a corner deep in the crowd.

His Observation Haki had reached a certain level after two years of training, and he keenly sensed that there were some powerful auras mixed in here.

Moreover, their strength should not be underestimated.

It gave him a strange feeling of familiarity.

"Come out, what are you doing hiding in the dark? Or are you all like rats, enjoying hiding in places like this?"

Sanji slowly exhaled a smoke ring.

In the shadows, those auras fluctuated slightly.

"Hehehe, it's been a long time, Black Leg Sanji!"

A sinister laugh rang out.

Immediately afterwards, several figures parted from the crowd and walked out unhurriedly.

They were all wearing matching white suits and dark ties, and each wore a mask with a different design that covered the upper half of their face.

He stood out from the ragged crowd around him.

The leader removed his mask, revealing a face with scars on his cheek; he was a man with long black hair.

CP9 Gabra!

No, it's already CP0.

"Thanks to your care on Judicial Island, I have been thinking about that defeat day and night."

Jabra licked his lips, revealing his sharp canines, and stared at Sanji.

Immediately afterwards, the others also took off their masks.

Kaku with a long nose, Waitsu with thick, strange hair, an owl with its mouth sealed with a zipper, the cold and beautiful Kalifa with glasses, and the taciturn and somewhat inconspicuous Bruno.

Almost all of CP9 members are here!

Who are you?!

Cyrus gripped his sword tightly, his brow furrowed.

He had witnessed many dark aspects of the Don Quixote family over the past decade, but he had never seen this group of suit-wearing men with an eerie aura who clearly did not belong to Dressrosa.

However, the aura emanating from these people still instinctively disgusted him.

"It really is you guys."

Sanji pursed his lips, put the cigarette back in his mouth, seemingly unsurprised. "We're all familiar with each other, why wear a mask? Who are you trying to impress with this mysterious act?"

Almost everyone from CP9 was present, but it seems they all got promoted.

Vivi mentioned that this outfit belongs to CP0, the organization associated with the Celestial Dragons.

With CP0 involved, things will get complicated.

Sanji glanced at it. "Where's that pigeon guy?"

Gabra curled his lip. "Of course, Lucci has his own mission."

Kaku twitched his long nose. "Surrender, Straw Hat crew. Your alliance with Trafalgar Law and your illegal activities here have seriously violated the laws of the World Government. There is no chance of winning against the entire World Government."

"Usopp!" Chopper suddenly exclaimed, pointing at the other side. "How did you get to the other side?!"

Usopp looked completely bewildered: "Huh?!"

Upon seeing that long nose, Usopp angrily exclaimed, "I'm right here! Where am I on the other side?!"

"Are they also intruders?"

Kyros's gaze swept over the CP0 members. "There's even something to do with the World Government involved here. Don't you know what Doflamingo did to this country?!"

Or is it that the Seven Warlords of the Sea are actually in league with the World Government?!

What is the significance of these member states joining the world government?

Is this all the money we get in return for paying so much "heavenly gold" every year?

These people, turned into toys, work here day after day, and have witnessed the darkness hidden beneath the surface of this country's happiness.

"All I have to do is carry out the orders from above," Kaku said expressionlessly. "Your words are best left to the King and the World Government to discuss."

Gabra picked at his ear, looking impatient. "These things weren't caused by us. How would we, as nobodys, understand the power struggles at the top? Even if we did, it wouldn't concern us."

"Hmph, that's right. We're only responsible for completing the mission. Nothing else matters."

The owl instinctively tried to seal its beak with the zipper, but found it stuck, so it could only awkwardly touch its chin.

"Let's get on with the mission quickly."

Kalifa pushed up her glasses and said coldly, "If we fail, we'll be back to those days of hiding and being hunted down."

After the failure at Enies Lobby, all members of CP9 faced the danger of being wiped out by the World Government.

Finally, after much difficulty, he returned to the World Government and, through completing a series of dangerous missions, was promoted to the more powerful CP0.

This mission must not fail.

"Of course,"

Kaku nodded, crouching slightly to assume an attack stance. "Then let's begin. Let me see how much you pirates have improved in the past two years."

It's a pity that the green-haired swordsman isn't here.

Otherwise, now that guy is the right-hand man of one of the Four Emperors, he could be killed easily.

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already darted out like a cheetah!

The target is Usopp and Chopper, who seem to be the weakest!

However, the Straw Hat crew reacted even faster!

Almost at the same moment Kaku set off, Sanji's figure had already disappeared from the spot, leaving only a golden-red afterimage and a faint smell of smoke in the air.

"Devil's Wind Kick - Finishing Touch!"

Swish!

His right foot, burning with flames, arrived first and struck precisely in the path of Kaku's attack!

Kaku reacted extremely quickly, crossing his arms and covering them with Armament Haki to block.

boom!

A dull thud was followed by a shockwave.

Kaku's forward momentum was abruptly halted, and his body slid backward several meters, plowing two shallow furrows in the ground.

He looked up in surprise at Sanji, who had landed steadily.

"Don't think that only you guys are growing up, long noses."

Usopp: "Are you calling me?"

"I didn't call you!"

Sanji slowly straightened up, the flames on his right leg gradually dying down, but the fighting spirit in his eyes burned fiercely. "These past two years, we've been rolling around in real hell."

If you've won once on Enies Lobby, you're guaranteed to win a second time!

A defeated opponent will always be a defeated opponent!

Now, they are crew members of one of the Four Emperors.

Two years of training, especially for Sanji, a man who returned from hell, has resulted in growth far exceeding outside expectations.

Not only has his physical fitness been improved, but Sanji, as a core combatant, has also mastered both Observation Haki and Armament Haki.

"Storm Kick - White Thunder!"

Jabra seized the moment Sanji landed and launched a sneak attack from the side, slicing a sharp vacuum slash toward Sanji's neck.

Sanji didn't even turn his head, as if he had eyes in the back of his head. His body leaned backward with incredible flexibility, and Ran's foot brushed past the tip of his nose.

At the same time, his left leg lashed out like a scorpion's tail, kicking back at Gabra with a whistling sound!

"First cut of meat!"

Gabra hastily tried to block with his arm, but the force of the kick still made his arm go numb, and he staggered backward.

He was both shocked and furious: "This guy's Observation Haki is incredibly strong!"

"It seems you have indeed become stronger."

Kaku shook his slightly numb arm, his expression turning serious. "But we're not what we used to be!"

Six-Style Secret Technique: Life Return: Giraffe Form!

His body began to swell and deform, his neck stretched rapidly, giraffe-like stripes appeared on his skin, and his limbs became thicker!

This is an enhanced form he developed by combining Life Return with Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities, greatly increasing his strength, defense, and area-of-effect attack capabilities.

Chopper once again faced off against Kusatori.
