Inside a luxury clothing store on the shopping street—
Nami had changed again.
She now wore a white ankle-length dress, her slightly ssy orange hair elegantly tied up, giving her an air of nobility and grace.
The saleswoman beside them happily packaged the clothes, practically glowing with excitent.
These custors are unbelievably generous… I might finally be reaching the peak of my career!
"Sir, the total cos to 5,500,000 Berries," she said with a bright smile, rubbing her hands together as she looked at the stunned Luffy.
"Oh, 5.5 million—"
"…Wait. How much did you say?!"
Luffy's eyes nearly popped out of his head.
Do you know how much at that could buy?!
Such a waste!!
"Uh…?"
A giant question mark appeared over the saleswoman's head.
"So… are you buying it or not?"
Nami sighed helplessly and pulled out a thick stack of banknotes.
"I'll pay."
"Oh… so he's being supported by a rich girlfriend."
The saleswoman's gaze toward Luffy instantly beca complicated.
Luffy walked out carrying several large shopping bags.
He turned into an alleyway.
When he ca out again—
His hands were completely empty.
"Let's go! To the amusent park!"
Luffy grabbed Nami's soft hand and ran excitedly toward Sabaody Park.
Sabaody Park
Roller coasters, pirate ships, Ferris wheels—
All kinds of amusent rides towered into the sky, making it one of the most popular attractions on the Sabaody Archipelago.
Naturally, the place was packed with people.
anwhile, in a shadowy alley—
Sanji lit a cigarette slowly, hands in his pockets.
He looked disdainfully at the hundreds of n lying on the ground.
"Tch. I thought you might actually be strong."
"Just a bunch of trash… and you dare run a rmaid trafficking ring?"
The pirates lying in pools of blood looked terrified.
They had planned to capture and sell a rmaid for a fortune.
Instead—
They had kicked a steel wall.
"P-Please… spare us…"
The pirate wanted to say more.
But those two words had already drained all his strength.
"Spare you?"
Sanji's brows furrowed.
Anger flashed in his eyes.
A spark appeared on his foot and spread into the ground.
"You should all die."
Instantly—
The entire alley turned into a sea of flas.
"AAAAAH!!"
"Help !!"
"I don't want to die!"
But Sanji had already shattered their bones.
They could only watch in horror as the flas engulfed them.
Sanji slowly turned around.
The fire burned behind him.
"Sorry…"
"I'm not qualified to forgive you on behalf of the people you kidnapped."
The criminals were reduced to ashes.
"Sanji! Co play with us!"
When Sanji returned—
He saw Camie happily riding a carousel, inviting him enthusiastically.
"Miss Camie!!"
Sanji's cool deanor instantly collapsed.
Heart-eyed, he rushed over and sat on one of the carousel animals.
Though it was called a carousel, the animals weren't just horses—there were crocodiles and other creatures too.
Sanji and Camie laughed as they rode together.
Their laughter echoed throughout the amusent park.
"Here, Camie."
Sanji bought her an ice cream and handed it over warmly.
"Thank you!"
Camie happily accepted it and stuck out her tongue to take a small lick.
"So sweet! And so cold!"
Her face was full of joy.
"Sanji… thank you so much."
"If it weren't for you… I might never have co here in my entire life."
"…After all, I'm a rmaid. I'm not supposed to appear in the human world."
She lowered her head.
Tears slid down her cheeks.
"Camie…?"
Sanji panicked.
"But today…"
"This is the happiest day I've had in over ten years!"
Camie raised her head again with a radiant smile.
The tears on her face sparkled under the sunlight.
"Phew…"
Sanji finally let out a deep breath.
If he ever made a lady cry—
He would never forgive himself.
"SANJI!!"
Hearing the voice, Sanji turned around.
A small figure jumped onto him.
"Chopper?!"
Sanji looked at the little reindeer in surprise.
Then he looked up—
Usopp, Brook, and Hatchan were all there too.
"What are you doing here?"
After the initial surprise, Sanji frowned.
"Aren't you supposed to be looking for the ship coater?"
I finally had a chance to be alone with Camie…
Just then Usopp jumped forward and explained everything that happened at Shakky's Rip-Off Bar.
After learning there were nine other powerful pirates on the island, Usopp had decided it was safer to stick with the strongest ally he knew.
After hearing the story, Sanji's mouth twitched.
"You're telling …"
"A 70- or 80-year-old man would co to an amusent park?"
"You guys just want to play, don't you?"
Sanji narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
The others looked guilty.
Sanji sighed.
"If I had to guess, that old man probably got captured and sold as a slave."
"WHAT?!"
Everyone was shocked.
"That Shakky runs a bar, right? So that old man must be a drunk."
"He's been missing for half a year. No way he's still wandering around free."
"He's probably soone's slave in so dark corner of the island."
"I say we find a more reliable coating chanic."
Surprisingly, everyone thought that made sense.
Only Hatchan looked slightly uneasy.
"So stop playing and let's go find another chanic."
Sanji wiped a bit of sweat from his hands.
"Sanji… let's go together!" Usopp said firmly.
He had already decided to stick close to the strongest fighter.
"Idiot!" Sanji snapped.
"I still need to protect Miss Camie! What if she gets kidnapped?!"
He spoke with absolute righteousness.
You idiots! Why aren't you leaving already?!
My romance has barely begun!
"Hey, Sanji! Usopp! So you're all here!"
A loud laugh echoed across the park.
Sanji's heart sank instantly.
It's over…
My love life is finished before it even started.
Everyone turned around.
Luffy stood there with a big grin, hands in his pockets.
Beside him—
Nami held onto his arm closely, her body leaning against his in an intimate way.
She looked like a beautiful white rose—pure yet alluring.
Her elegant hairstyle drew everyone's attention.
Luffy pulled his hand free and took Nami's hand as they walked closer.
"Looks like you guys are having fun too."
"How about we all play together?"
Chopper looked tempted.
But Usopp still looked worried.
"But we still haven't found a ship coater."
"Sanji thinks the old man probably beca a slave."
He explained Sanji's theory to Luffy.
Luffy looked at Sanji with a complicated expression.
He actually guessed part of the truth…
But imagining the right-hand man of the Pirate King, "Dark King" Silvers Rayleigh, being described as a slave…
That would probably beco Rayleigh's greatest humiliation.
Seeing everyone worried, Luffy smiled.
"Relax."
"I know where he is."
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"But for now—"
"Let's forget about everything and just have fun!"
Luffy grabbed Nami's hand and ran toward the roller coaster.
"YEAH!!"
Everyone began playing happily.
And so—
The only one suffering in this world…
Was Sanji.
