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

Sanji examined the fish closely and frowned, saying, "Remove the skin. The fish meat itself is a rare delicacy, but be careful when handling it, as the poison is mainly concentrated in the skin."

So he and Frye immediately carried the fish into the kitchen and began to process it.

Before long, a rich aroma wafted out of the kitchen.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

"All right!"

Sanji came out carrying a large plate of fish, "Tigerfish sashimi, with special sauce."

Everyone eagerly took a bite.

"Delicious!" Chopper's eyes lit up.

"This tastes amazing!" Usopp nodded repeatedly.

Shirahoshi and Perona breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles returned to their faces.

Luffy, chewing on fish skin, said, "Why don't you guys try this? Actually, fish skin is pretty tasty."

Nami punched Luffy on the head, saying, "Don't think we're immune to poison like you!"

Carrot leaned closer, cautiously tasted a bite of the fish, and then her rabbit ears perked up. "Delicious!"

So she joined the scramble for food.

The deck was bustling with activity for a time.

Shirahoshi cautiously took a bite, then exclaimed with delight, "It's really delicious! Perona, we've finally caught an edible fish!"

I never thought the Air Force would have this day.

Perona raised her chin smugly, "Of course, how could I possibly fail to catch any fish when I'm on the job?"

Usopp muttered, "I wonder who was the one who almost got dragged into the sea just now."

"What did you say?!"

"It's nothing, it's nothing!"

Amidst laughter and cheerful conversation, Pedro, who had eaten a few pieces of fish, noticed that snow was falling from the sky. Suddenly, his expression turned serious, and he quickly walked to Luffy's side.

"Lord Luffy, we have entered the territory of the Big Mom Pirates."

Just then, the Den Den Mushi (snail phone) on the ship started ringing.

Vivi frowned and said, "It's a Den Den Mushi that picked up the warning signal. A ship should be coming soon."

Luffy wiped his mouth, stood up, and looked at the distant sea.

A thin layer of white mist hung over the sea, reducing visibility, but Luffy's Observation Haki had already detected the presence of ships in the distance.

He said, "There are indeed ships approaching this area."

As Luffy was talking, he lay down straight.

Everyone was startled.

"Luffy?!"

"Big Mom arrived so quickly?"

"No, that's not right, that's not Big Mom's ship."

Everyone was shocked.

"Is Luffy alright?"

Nami rushed over to check on Luffy's condition.

Chopper rushed over to check as well. "Pulse and breathing are normal, but..."

"But what?" Uta asked anxiously.

"But his body seemed to be paralyzed, and his nervous system was sluggish."

Chopper frowned and said, "It must be caused by eating the poison from the tigerfish."

"Didn't they say there were antibodies?!"

Sanji frowned as well. "Magellan's poison and the Tigerfish's poison are two different toxins. Having antibodies doesn't mean you're immune to all poisons. However, Luffy's physical condition is very strong, so he should be fine."

"Then why can't he move now?"

"Well... I don't know either."

Just then, a huge ship slowly sailed in from the white mist in the distance.

The ship had a very unique shape, resembling a giant snail with the number 66 on it. Its hull was covered in armor, making it look like a mobile fortress.

Chapter 501 You Don't Want Your Captain to Be the Captain Either

It's a ship from Germa 66.

Looking at the massive ship before her, which was even larger than the Sunny, Nami said, "This is Germa 66's ship, also known as the War House."

Unexpectedly, we met here. Germa 66 is planning to marry Big Mom Pirates, so they are naturally considered allies of Germa 66.

That's the enemy?!

What if the captain collapses at this time?

"Hey, hey, hey, this is bad! Didn't Luffy say he had plenty of antibodies?"

Sanji saw someone he didn't want to see, but Luffy was more important at the moment. Why did his captain suddenly stop talking?

"Do we have any antidote on board?!"

Chopper rushed over to check on him, "Luffy! Are you alright?!"

"Huh? I see you looking so disheveled as soon as I arrive, Sanji."

On the deck of the ship, a figure slowly walked out. He looked somewhat similar to Sanji, except that he was wearing something very flashy.

Wearing headphones and sunglasses, an orange scarf, and a black cape with the number 4 on it.

Sanji's forehead veins bulged. "What are you doing here, Yonji!"

"Of course I'm here for the tea party."

Yuji shrugged. "But you guys, you're not here to cause trouble, are you?"

"What's it to you?"

"Of course it's my business."

Yuji laughed and said, "If you mess up the tea party, Germa 66 will be in big trouble too."

He glanced at Luffy, who was lying motionless on the deck, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "But it seems that your captain can't even protect himself, yet he wants to cause trouble for Big Mom?"

"Ah la ah la, what did you say?"

As a gust of cold wind blew by, Yongji shut his mouth and stared intently at the man who had stood up not far away.

Former Navy Admiral Aokiji?

What a troublesome enemy.

However, the clothes he wore when he moved still caught Chopper and the others' attention.

"Why are this guy's clothes so strange?"

"Is that the combat uniform of an evil army? Damn it!"

Chopper and Franky's eyes lit up.

Chopper is a huge fan of the Warrior of the Sea and the Sky, while Franky is extremely interested in the technology showcased in the outfit.

The green combat suit, with the Germa 66 logo on it, special white gloves and belt, and technological shoes with explosive jumping and jet propulsion functions—this level of technology is truly befitting of the Vinsmoke family.

Vivi said, "Germa 66 is a group that strengthens itself with science, that is, a scientific combat force, which the navy also has."

Scientific combat force?

A glint flashed in the eyes of both Kuzan and Gion. At their level, they naturally knew what a scientific combat force was. Even in the Navy, it was known for its mystery, with an admiral in charge of direct contact and management.

"That's right, the reason they chose to marry into the Vinsmoke family is because of their scientific expertise."

In other words, it's the power that the older woman wants to obtain.

Yonji laughed again, "That's right, this is our capital for the marriage alliance with the Big Mom Pirates. Sanji, you should just obediently become the tool for this marriage alliance."

Sanji glared at Yonji through gritted teeth, "You want me to kick you away, huh?"

Yuji burst into laughter: "Huh? You, this failed experiment, actually..."

"Shut up, Yuji,"

The next second, he was actually kicked away and fell directly into the water. Then, a graceful figure appeared where Yonji had been, smiling and greeting him, "Long time no see, Sanji. You look like you're having a hard time."

"Rei, Reiju?"

Sanji's expression relaxed slightly.

For him, Reiju was the only warmth he felt during his dark childhood in Vinsmoke. When the Germa Kingdom arrived in the East Blue, Reiju broke open the prison bars and helped Sanji escape from the Germa Kingdom.

"Yo ho ho ho, Sanji's sister is a real beauty!"

Brook let out a series of laughs, but before he could finish speaking, Sanji kicked him to the ground.

"Is Mr. Skull wrong?" Reiju asked with a smile.

"Well, what I said before is true, but you don't need to listen to what I say after that." Sanji scratched his head, still showing great respect for his sister whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Speaking of the Vinsmoke family, they are royalty, right?"

Uta glanced at Reiju instinctively, seemingly remembering a certain man's title, and couldn't help but ask.

"Not only in the past, but also now. Although we do not have any land-based territories under our control, we are qualified to participate in world conferences."

Reiju appeared very poised and elegant. Compared to the arrogant and domineering Yonji from before, she seemed like a normal person and even had a noble air about her.
