Chapter 418 is Unexpected
However, to everyone's surprise, Luffy raved about the soup, praising its deliciousness. Faced with Luffy's reaction, Zeff had no choice but to reveal their true purpose to Sanji.
After much deliberation, Sanji finally accepted Luffy's invitation and decided to officially join the Straw Hat crew as a chef. This decision was not easy for Sanji, as he had worked at Baratie for a long time and developed a deep bond with Zeff and the other chefs.
At the farewell ceremony, Zeff watched Sanji leave, his heart filled with reluctance. He whispered, "Don't catch a cold." These simple words, though simple, were like a sharp sword, piercing through Sanji's inner defenses. Sanji could no longer suppress his emotions; he wept bitterly, knelt down to say goodbye to Zeff, and also bid farewell to the other chefs.
Amidst tears, Sanji boarded a small sailboat and set off with Luffy and Joseph to Cocoyasi Village to find Nami. Throughout this long journey, Sanji was filled with anticipation for the new adventure, as well as gratitude for Zeff and his companions at the Baratie restaurant.
When Sanji and his crew arrived at Cocoyasi Village, they encountered MooMoo, a sea monster under Arlong's command. After a fierce battle, they successfully defeated MooMoo and, led by it, arrived at Cocoyasi Village.
In the village, Sanji and his crew encountered Nami's older sister, Nojiko. Through their conversation with Nojiko, they learned about Nami's tragic past and her efforts to save the village.
Upon learning all this, Luffy unhesitatingly offered to help Nami. Sanji, along with Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp, then headed to Arlong Park, where they engaged in a thrilling battle with Arlong's crew.
Sanji confronts Croobi, a member of Arlong's crew. In an attempt to rescue Luffy from falling into the water, Sanji jumps in but is severely injured by Croobi, who is skilled in naval warfare.
Sanji gripped Croobi's gills tightly, using all his strength to finally drag him out of the water. Once back on land, before Croobi could even catch his breath, Sanji launched a swift attack.
Sanji flashed forward, appearing like a ghost in front of Croobi, and then unleashed a dazzling barrage of kicks like a storm. This was Sanji's signature move—"Lamb Shot"! Each kick precisely struck Croobi's vital points, leaving him utterly defenseless.
Croobi was forced back repeatedly and eventually collapsed to the ground, unable to fight. Sanji easily defeated his opponent, demonstrating his formidable strength.
However, the battle was far from over. Sanji and Zoro soon discovered that their true enemy was Arlong. Faced with this formidable opponent, the two decided to join forces.
Unfortunately, despite their best efforts, Arlong's strength was simply too overwhelming; their attacks were almost completely ineffective against him. Arlong easily overwhelmed Sanji and Zoro, putting them in a difficult situation.
Just as Sanji and Zoro were struggling to hold on, an opportunity suddenly arose. Arlong, distracted, revealed an opening, and Sanji immediately seized the opportunity to dive back into the water.
In the water, Sanji was like a fish in water. He quickly swam to Luffy's side and successfully rescued him. Luffy looked at Sanji gratefully, the two smiled at each other, and then returned to the surface together.
After regaining his freedom, Luffy immediately displayed his astonishing strength. He engaged in a thrilling duel with Arlong, ultimately defeating him with an overwhelming advantage.
With Arlong's defeat, Nami finally broke free from his control. She looked gratefully at Luffy and Sanji and decided to officially join the Straw Hat crew.
And so, after a fierce battle, the Straw Hat crew successfully rescued Nami and continued their journey to the Grand Line.
Upon entering the Grand Line, they arrived in Loguetown. Here, they purchased various supplies, making thorough preparations for the journey ahead.
In the plaza of Loguetown, the Straw Hat crew, including Sanji, shouted out their dreams. These dreams were full of passion and hope, as if foreshadowing an extraordinary adventure they would embark on on the Grand Line.
Finally, the Straw Hat crew crossed Mount Levi and officially entered the Grand Line. Their adventure had only just begun, and countless challenges and unknown wonders awaited them ahead.
Their first stop after entering the Grand Line was Twin Capes. There, the Straw Hat crew met a giant whale—Laboon—and the tower's guardian, Crocus. Laboon had been waiting for its companions to return, and the Straw Hat crew's arrival seemed to bring it new hope.
Meanwhile, Sanji and his crew unexpectedly encounter "Mr. 9" and "Miss Wednesday" Vivi during their journey. Faced with Mr. 9 and Vivi's earnest request, the Straw Hat crew decides to generously help them and lead them to Whiskey Mountain.
Upon arriving at Whiskey Peak, the locals showed the Straw Hat crew an unexpected level of enthusiasm, hosting a grand banquet to welcome these guests from afar. The banquet was filled with a dazzling array of delicious food and the aroma of fine wine; Sanji thoroughly enjoyed the joyful atmosphere, becoming completely absorbed in it before he knew it.
Time passed quietly, and after a while, Luffy suddenly remembered that they still had a journey to continue. So, without hesitation, he dragged the still-sleeping Sanji and Usopp onto the Going Merry and prepared to set sail and leave this place.
Sanji and Usopp were completely bewildered by this sudden turn of events. However, before they could even process what was happening, a mysterious woman—"Miss All Sunday" (Nicole Robin)—appeared on the ship like a ghost.
Seeing this, Sanji and Usopp immediately became alert and assumed a fighting stance. However, their reaction speed was clearly a beat too slow. Robin flashed forward and instantly knocked Sanji and Usopp to the ground, rendering them powerless to fight back.
After successfully subduing Sanji and Usopp, Robin impersonated Mr. 3 and made a phone call with Mr. 0. After the call, she disappeared like a ghost, leaving the Straw Hat crew looking bewildered.
Despite this unexpected setback, the Straw Hat crew did not stop their journey. With Vivi in tow, they continued sailing in the direction indicated by the Log Pose, eventually arriving at a mysterious, ancient island—Little Garden.
Sanji and Zoro held a hunting competition in the small garden, splitting up to hunt in the jungle. Sanji encountered a giant dinosaur in the jungle, which he easily defeated with his kicking techniques. At the same time, Zoro also encountered a dinosaur in the jungle, but he chose to fight it with his sword.
Back on the Going Merry, Sanji noticed no one had returned, so he decided to venture into the jungle to search for the others. During his search, Sanji unexpectedly discovered a mysterious house. Curious, he entered, only to find it empty.
Just as Sanji was about to leave, the phone in the room suddenly rang. Sanji hesitated for a moment, but finally answered the phone. A deep voice came from the other end of the line: "Mr. 3, how are things on your end?"
Sanji's heart skipped a beat; he immediately realized that this call might be related to "Mr. 0" (Crocodile), whom they were looking for. So, he had a flash of inspiration and impersonated Mr. 3, saying, "I've already taken down Vivi and the Straw Hat crew, and I'm on my way to Alabasta now."
The person on the other end of the phone was clearly satisfied with Sanji's answer. He told Sanji that he would send some "unfortunate messengers" to meet him and gave Sanji a permanent pointer pointing to Alabasta.
After hanging up the phone, Sanji secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew he had successfully fooled the other person, but at the same time, he realized that their situation had become even more dangerous.
Just as Sanji was about to leave the house, a group of "unfortunate messengers" suddenly appeared in front of him. These messengers were obviously there to meet him, but they didn't know that Sanji wasn't the real Mr. 3.
Sanji fearlessly engaged in a fierce battle with these "unfortunate messengers." Using his superb culinary skills and kicking techniques, he utterly defeated them. Ultimately, Sanji successfully defeated all the "unfortunate messengers" and obtained the permanent pointer pointing to Alabasta from them.
On their way to Alabasta, Nami suddenly fell ill. Her condition worsened, causing great concern among the other members of the Straw Hat crew.
Just then, the Going Merry was suddenly attacked by the White Iron Pirates led by Wapol. These pirates stormed onto the Going Merry, attempting to steal their treasure.
Luffy and his crew immediately engaged the White Iron Pirates in a fierce battle. Luffy unleashed his powerful Gum-Gum Fruit abilities, sending the enemies scattering in all directions. Sanji, meanwhile, used his kicking skills to send the pirates who approached the Going Merry flying one by one.
After a fierce battle, the Straw Hat crew finally managed to drive away the White Iron Pirates. However, Nami's condition worsened, and they needed to find a doctor to treat her as soon as possible.
Upon learning that only one doctor, known as the "Witch," lived in a castle high in the mountains, Sanji and Luffy didn't hesitate to take Nami there. The castle was situated at an altitude of 5000 meters, and the journey was extremely treacherous.
Sanji and Luffy carried Nami on their backs, painstakingly climbing the mountain step by step. Along the way, they encountered countless difficulties and challenges, such as steep mountain paths, raging storms, and precipitous cliffs, but they never gave up, holding only one belief in their hearts—to find the "witch" doctor and cure Nami's illness.
After a long journey, they finally arrived at the castle. Sanji and Luffy stood panting before the castle, looking at the huge, ancient door, their hearts filled with hope. Without hesitation, they knocked on the castle gate, hoping that the "witch" doctor could bring them a miracle.
However, the moment the door opened, they were met with a sudden avalanche. Sanji rushed forward without hesitation, using his body to shield Luffy and Nami from the avalanche. But he himself was knocked to the ground by a group of ferocious Laboons and seriously injured.
Luffy was frantic. He hoisted Sanji onto his shoulder, carried Nami on his back, and ran with all his might towards the mountaintop. Every step felt like walking on knives, but he dared not stop for a moment, because he knew that Sanji and Nami's lives were in his hands.
Finally, they reached the mountaintop and found Chopper and Dr. Kureha. Seeing Sanji and Nami's terrible condition, Chopper and Dr. Kureha immediately began emergency treatment. Thanks to their efforts, Sanji gradually regained consciousness.
While waiting for Sanji to recover, Luffy and Chopper talked about Chopper's past. Chopper recounted the hardships and discrimination he had endured, and how he met Dr. Kureha and became her apprentice. Luffy was deeply moved by Chopper's story and developed great respect for the little reindeer.
Just then, Wapol and his crew appeared like ghosts in front of the castle, their arrival menacing, clearly intending to retake it. Faced with this unexpected enemy, Luffy, Sanji, and Chopper showed no fear. They resolutely decided to fight these uninvited guests together, vowing to protect the castle and Dr. Kureha to the death.
The battle erupted instantly, and Sanji, to protect Dr. Kureha, charged headlong into the enemy. However, in the very moment of contact, he unfortunately became stuck to Cromarimon's static-filled fur balls. These fur balls seemed to possess a life of their own, clinging tightly to Sanji's body, rendering him completely immobile.
Despite his predicament, Sanji did not give up easily. He calmly observed the surrounding situation and quickly spotted an opportunity—Jace's fire attack. With a flash of inspiration, Sanji cleverly used Jess's flames to successfully burn off the fur balls on his body and break free from his restraints.
