One Piece: The Half-Blood Ninja Who Hides on the Straw Hat Ship

Chapter 581 These two older brothers are both responsible people.

"They probably won't chase after us anymore now."

Looking back at the sea, Chopper said, "After all, we can't even see Dressrosa anymore."

If the navy can catch up with them in this situation, then they may really have no way to escape.

"Since we haven't seen them, it means we've shaken them off for now," Nami said. "The rest is up to us."

Then, she looked up at the sky and noticed that there were still some clouds in the area.

After recalling what Law had said earlier, Nami activated her Devil Fruit ability, creating some clouds to move them to another location, thus preventing Doflamingo from using them as a springboard.

Chopper breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. It was fine to get rid of it temporarily; afterwards, he only needed to take the route without clouds.

Then, as if he had discovered something, he said, "?"

"Why can't I see Luo?"

"Of course, that guy stayed behind voluntarily." Sanji lit a cigarette and said with a serious expression, "The moment he activated the Wind Cannon, he used his Devil Fruit ability to take that person away."

This person is naturally referring to Jorah.

"So, he plans to stay behind and fight Doflamingo alone?"

"That should be the case," Sanji said.

As he spoke, he remembered what Luo had told him before.

He has a grudge against Doflamingo...

In other words, is Law currently trying to kill Doflamingo?

While stalling for time, try to kill Doflamingo... Sigh, hopefully that guy will survive.

"That damned Law!"

Holding his own heart, Caesar said angrily, "He'd better die in Dressrosa!"

When he was thrown out, his heart almost jumped out of his chest, which made him extremely angry.

If it weren't for that bastard Luo, how could he have ended up like this?

The thought of this made Caesar even more annoyed.

"Why do you talk so much nonsense?"

Sanji frowned as he glanced at Caesar, then noticed the heart in Caesar's hand.

"heart..

""

"Um?

"6

Caesar, noticing Sanji's gaze, instinctively shuddered, then asked warily, "What are you going to do?"

As he spoke, he raised the heart in his hand, intending to put it back into his chest.

Unfortunately... Sanji was clearly faster.

With a whoosh, the heart in Caesar's hand vanished.

Caesar: !!!

"?"

Where is my heart?

""

"Where did you go?"

"It's here."

Seeing Sanji calmly fiddling with his heart, Caesar immediately lost his temper.

"You bastard, what are you doing? Give me back my heart!"

Chopper looked at Sanji, somewhat bewildered, wondering why Sanji wanted Caesar's heart.

"That won't do."

Sanji snorted and said, "To prevent you from causing trouble halfway through, we have to keep your heart in our hands."

.

"Well done, Sanji!"

Nami, who was controlling her Devil Fruit powers, turned around and gave Sanji a thumbs up.

Sanji did a great job. With this, that bastard Caesar won't dare to do anything unnecessary.

This praise made Sanji excited and start to wriggle his body.

"Damn it, you are all devils!" Caesar said with a look of grief and indignation.

"Yohohohoho~"

"That's true, but..." Brooke said with a chuckle, "this method is also the most effective."

With this heart, Caesar would be able to obediently listen to them, so Brook also felt that Sanji did the right thing.

Caesar:

"Damn it, why did I have to go through this?" Caesar thought, tears streaming down his face. "Joker, please save me!"

Although Caesar knew that the chances of him being rescued by the Joker were slim, he didn't know who else he could rely on besides the Joker.

"Now that everything's alright here, I'll be going," Perona said. "If I go any further, my ghost will disappear."

Although her ghost clones can travel to very far places, there is a limit to that distance; at least she cannot fight across islands.

So... she was forced to leave.

"It's alright, go back."

Nami smiled and said, "Perfect timing, you can also tell them about the situation here."

If Perona's clone weren't here, they would need to call and tell others about the situation.

But since Perona is there, there's no need for that; Perona can just act as a messenger.

"ok"

~

Perona nodded, and then everyone present said, "Then let's meet in Zou."

,"profound!"

"Snapped!"

The next moment, Perona's ghostly clone suddenly exploded and dissipated in mid-air.

"Alright, now we need to think about what we need to do." Sanji turned to look at the bow of the ship and said, "We still don't know what the situation is like in Zou."

If it's also very dangerous there, then they need to prepare for battle.

"There shouldn't be any problems in Zou, right?" Nami said. "After all, Law said his partner is there."

"That's hard to say," Sanji said, shaking his head.

Luo's companions are indeed there, but who knows how they got there?

So they still need to be careful.

After all... Luffy and Xiyan aren't here.

"It's okay, I can just sneak in and check it out first," Nami said.

She's getting better and better at controlling her abilities, so flying up to scout shouldn't be a problem for her.

"No, I'll go," Sanji said. "How can I let you do something so dangerous?"

As a gentleman, he would never allow a woman to take risks for them.

"You should take care of your injuries first."

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Chopper and gestured for him to quickly treat the idiot properly to prevent him from developing any lasting health problems.

Chopper realized what was happening and thought, "Oh right, he's out of danger now, so it's time to treat Sanji."

Thinking of this, Chopper immediately ran to where he kept his medical kit, intending to treat Sanji's injuries as quickly as possible.

After watching Chopper leave, Nami glanced down at the Vivre Card in her hand, then looked up at the sky where she had removed the clouds.

Now, let's see what happens in Zou.

the other side.

While Sanji and his crew were quickly leaving Dressrosa, Merry was still flying through the air with Zoro and the others.

However, after receiving Perona's suggestion, Merry decisively abandoned the idea of ​​going to the coastline and instead flew there with Zoro and Perona.

"Um?"

Franky glanced at Zoro and the others who had returned, and several question marks appeared above his head.

"Why are you back?"

Didn't they say they were going to the coastline to support Sanji and the others? Why did they suddenly come back?

"There's no need for that anymore," Zoro said after Perona explained the whole situation. "They're already gone."

Franky: ? ? ?

Usopp: !!

What do you mean by "they've already left"?

Usopp's expression became somewhat agitated. "He's gone?"

Where did they go?

"Hey!" Usopp said, "You're not trying to tell me that Nami and the others have already sailed away, are you?"

"That's right, that's exactly it." Perona nodded and said, "Because the situation was quite urgent at the time, and Caesar couldn't fall into the hands of the Marines or Doflamingo, Nami and the others had no choice but to take Caesar away from here first."

"Why is this happening...?"

""

Usopp was completely numb. He had originally planned to sneak away with Franky and the others after things were mostly settled here.

At least he didn't want to risk his life against Doflamingo's Donquixote Family.

But now it seems... he has no way to escape!

After all, the pirate ship has already been taken away!

"What's wrong with you?"

Mary looked at Usopp with a puzzled expression. Why did Usopp look so bad?

Even if Nami and the others aren't here, it shouldn't affect their operations.

After all... the Straw Hat Pirates' top combat power is basically all here.

Upon hearing this, Usopp forced a smile and said, "It's nothing."

He couldn't very well say that he was thinking of abandoning the little people and secretly leaving with his companions.

Although he intended to do so, he didn't really want to say it in front of Mary, especially since he couldn't leave.

Seeing that Usopp was alright, Merry didn't say anything more.

"Speaking of which, Caesar is just getting in the way, why not just cut him off?" Zoro said.

Caesar's importance to Doflamingo is self-evident. In this situation, wouldn't it be better to just kill Caesar?

"What do you know?"

Perona rolled her eyes at Zoro. Why is this guy's mind filled with nothing but muscles?

Zoro glanced at Perona with some displeasure upon hearing this. Was she implying that he was an idiot?

"Killing Caesar directly would indeed be a huge blow to Doflamingo, but..." Nico Robin said, "As long as we still have this bargaining chip, we can make Doflamingo hesitate to act rashly."

With Caesar in his grasp, Doflamingo will have to think twice about the consequences of his actions.

On their side, they also have ways to continue threatening Doflamingo.

Usopp: ? ? ?

"You don't actually plan to reconcile with Doflamingo, do you?" Usopp retorted.

Nico Robin rolled her eyes at Usopp upon hearing this, wondering what nonsense he was spouting.

"Things have come to this point, how could there possibly be a chance for reconciliation?" Perona looked at Usopp speechlessly, clearly not expecting him to say such a thing.

Keeping Caesar alive is clearly a way to threaten Doflamingo!

After all, they weren't sure what would happen, so keeping this as a bargaining chip was beneficial for them.

Usopp gave an awkward laugh upon hearing this; he realized he had indeed made a fool of himself.

"It's alright, we can destroy the factory just as well without them!" Franky raised his head and said, "Just watch me blow it up with one laser!"

With his destructive power, it shouldn't take him long to destroy that factory.

The others who heard this smiled; Franky's destructive power was indeed undeniable.

Nico Robin then looked at Perona and said, "Remember to tell Luffy and the others what's going on here."

Luffy and Xiyan probably don't know that Nami and the others have already left Dressrosa.

"Okay, I'll pass it on to them," Perona nodded.

She definitely had to tell Luffy and Xiyan something so important.

Zoro then raised an eyebrow and said, "Could it be that those two haven't finished their match yet?"

"No, that's not it."

Perona shook her head and said, "Luffy's match in Sector C ended a long time ago, and the other guy doesn't plan to continue participating."

Zoro: ? ? ?

"What do you mean?"

What do you mean that west Yan doesn't plan to participate in the competition?

If he doesn't participate in the competition, what will he do?

"Because of Sabo," Perona explained. "Didn't I just say that Sabo went to find those two?"

"What does this have to do with that guy not participating in the competition?"

"Of course it's related."

Recalling the previous conversation between Xiyan and Sabo, Perona said, "Sabo plans to take Luffy's place in the battle to compete for the Diamond Fruit, so that Luffy can move around freely."

"As for the other guy..."

""

Perona paused for a moment before continuing, "Because Sabo said he would definitely get the Diamond Fruit, he won't participate in the D-sector tournament and plans to leave the Corrida Colosseum with Luffy."

Zoro was immediately displeased upon hearing this.

Why should this kind of thing be delegated to someone else?

If I had known that west Yan didn't want to participate in the competition, it would have been so much better if he had gone!

Thinking of this, Zoro asked, "Has the match in Sector D started yet?"

"Is it too late for me to go now?"

Perona: ? ? ?

Why hasn't this guy given up on participating in the competition yet?

"It's already started." Perona looked at Zoro speechlessly and said, "So even if you go, it'll be too late."

"not to mention..

""

At this point, Perona wore a look that was hard to describe.

Those who witnessed this immediately understood Perona's meaning.

If Zoro were to go out now, forget about participating in the tournament; even finding his way back would be a different story.

"What kind of looks are those?!" Zoro said, displeased.

Why are these guys looking at me like I'm an idiot?

What does that mean?

"It's nothing."

Perona looked away and said, "Anyway... it's too late for you to go now, so just stay here obediently."

Seeing that Perona had said so, Zoro had no choice but to accept the fact.

Damn it, if he had known things would turn out this way, he would have gone directly to Xiyan.

"So that's why Sabo sought out Luffy—to take his place in the battle," Nico Robin said with a thoughtful expression. "Is it because he discovered Doflamingo's plot and planned to have Luffy retreat first?"

"That's roughly the idea," Perona said.

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces showed a look of emotion.

Luffy's two older brothers are both responsible people.
