Chapter 169 : Sanji beats Luffy!!

Luffy had successfully defeated one of the three Sweet Commanders, Cracker, sending shockwaves throughout the world as viewers watched the live broadcast .

Undoubtedly, this victory was a colossal achievement, considering Crackle's status as one of the top three combat powers within the Big Mom Pirates.

The fact that Luffy could overcome such a formidable opponent hinted at a significant increase in his strength since the Dressrosa incident.

However, despite the surprise and awe from the audience, even those pirates familiar with Big Mom harbored a disliking for Luffy in their hearts. They knew that, on this journey spanning all nations, he would undoubtedly face severe repercussions. After all, Big Mom was an exceedingly cruel individual.

The news of Cracker's defeat would not sit well with Big Mom, potentially resulting in furious reactions and dire consequences. Big Mom's ruthless nature knew no bounds, and as everyone processed the shocking events, the sky continued to unfold the story slowly.

[After defeating Cracker]

[Luffy had expended so much energy that his unique body absorbed all the biscuits in his stomach.]

[Thus, he restored to his normal size.]

[Despite conquering such a formidable foe, Luffy emerged victorious,]

[But the toll was evident - he lay on the ground, too weak to move.]

[Nevertheless, even in his weakened state, he continued to proclaim,]

["We must find Sanji. We cannot allow him to marry Big Mom's daughter. We have to rescue our partners!"]

[Henceforth, the responsibility of the journey fell upon Nami.]

[After all, Chopper and the others were still trapped in Brulee's mirror world.]

[Thus, Nami utilized Big Mom's life card to]

[Command the living trees in the forest, coaxing them to aid Luffy and her in standing up.]

[They headed towards the Vinsmoke family.]

[Meanwhile, on another path]

[As Sanji, fully under his father's control, abandoned any thoughts of escape,]

[The entire Vinsmoke family prepared to depart for Cake Island.]

[While attending the tea party, they aimed to expedite Sanji's wedding to Big Mom's daughter.]

[All of this in exchange for formidable power to conquer the North Sea!]

[Shortly after,]

[Luffy and Nami, filled with excitement, caught sight of the Vinsmoke family's carriage!]

[Immediately, their excitement reached its peak!]

[Finally, they had arrived at Cake Island just in time to find Sanji!]

[With Sanji willing to follow him, they could escape the clutches of Big Mom!]

[All their companions would return to the open sea!]

[However, upon seeing Sanji, their expectations were shattered.]

[Luffy rushed to the carriage, joyfully exclaiming to Sanji,]

["Sanji, I'm here to save you; let's go quickly!"]

However, Sanji remained remarkably indifferent. He rose abruptly, casting a condescending gaze upon Luffy.

Then, a swift kick!

In an instant, Luffy resembled a kite with its string severed, crashing heavily onto the grass.

Simultaneously, the Vinsmoke family's carriage came to a halt.

Nami stared at Sanji in disbelief, questioning sharply, "What are you doing? Why are you fighting Luffy?"

Luffy lifted his head, shock evident in his eyes. "Sanji, why are you kicking me? Come with me quickly, I'm here to save you!"

Despite Nami's and Luffy's pleas, Sanji maintained an indifferent demeanor.

"Why should I go with you?"

"I am the prince of the Vinsmoke family, adorned with endless glory and wealth."

"You bunch of lowly pirates, do you truly believe I want to be with you?"

"Leave now; you are not worthy of approaching me at all!"

Upon hearing this, Nami and Luffy froze, struck by the words like lightning.

Including this very moment!

The viewers watching the live broadcast were equally excited.

Upon witnessing the entire live broadcast, many people grasped why Sanji took such actions. They understood that Sanji deliberately did this!

His aim was for Luffy and Nami to give up and retreat swiftly. After all, at this moment, he was completely under the control of the Vinsmoke family.

Failure to comply would result in harm to his benefactor, the destruction of the entire sea restaurant, and the entire Straw Hat Pirates being hunted by both the Vinsmoke family and the Big Mom Pirates.

Furthermore, he would be obligated to attend the tea party for the wedding.

Thus, in order to prompt Luffy to relinquish his pursuit, Sanji uttered these cold words.

Nevertheless, there were those who couldn't comprehend!

They believed that regardless of how dire the circumstances, there must be a solution.

How could one speak so outrageously to their comrade?

After all, Luffy had undergone tremendous hardships to defeat Cracker. Upon reaching this point, instead of leading his friends, he received a powerful kick!

How disheartening!

Sanji was behaving worse than a beast!

In summary, the viewers of the live broadcast at this moment were almost evenly divided into two groups.

One group comprehended Sanji.

The other sympathized with Luffy. Meanwhile, the sky live broadcast continued to unfold!

[Faced with Sanji's cold and mocking words, Luffy was momentarily stunned.]

[Then, he smiled once more and said, "Sanji, stop joking and come with me!"]

[Sanji spoke coldly, "Who are you trying to deceive?"]]

["You filthy pirate, if I don't take action, do you really think I'm playing around with you?"]

[After uttering those words, Sanji sprang into action once again!]

[Without hesitation, he unleashed his ultimate move, the Diable Jamble!]

[Flames swirled around his feet as he delivered a powerful kick to Luffy!]

[The immense force sent Luffy flying once more!]

[He crashed hard onto the ground, bearing numerous wounds on his body.]

["Will you leave or not?"]

[Luffy rose with a determined expression on his face!]

["No, what you just said must be against your will!"]

[Sanji shook his head, opting for actions to convince Luffy to retreat rather than words!]

[Once again, he employed the Diable Jamble, delivering consecutive kicks to Luffy!]

[The power behind each kick grew, rendering Luffy unable to retaliate.]

[Watching from a distance, Nami couldn't believe her eyes; she was utterly shocked.]

[On the opposing side, members of the Vinsmoke family observed with amusement, finding the situation intriguing.]

[Sanji relentlessly kicked Luffy until he reverted to his human form, covered in blood.]

[Sanji asked Luffy once more, "Will you leave or not?"]]

[Despite the multitude of kicks and injuries, Luffy remained steadfast in his decision!]

[He reaffirmed, "I said I won't leave!"]]

["No matter how fiercely you attack me, I won't fight back!"]]

[Hearing this, Sanji became infuriated.]

[Perhaps it was the frustration of dealing with Luffy's stubborn nature or remorse for his actions toward his comrades.]

[Sanji leaped into the air, his body spinning wildly, and the force on his feet intensifying!]

[He intended to use this kick to end Luffy completely.]

["In that case, let's have a fight!"]]

["I will use my strongest attack. If you don't resist, you will die!"]]

[Luffy stood there silently, watching Sanji spin in the sky.]

["I told you, I won't retaliate!"]]

["I would never lay a hand on my comrade!"]]

["Very well, then prepare to die!"]]

[At that moment, Sanji struck with terrifying power, landing a kick on Luffy's head.]
