Chapter 303

"Black Leg, won't you really become one of us? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Sanji kept his eyes tightly shut.

He dared not look at Ivankov, fearing the memory of a transvestite would remain in his mind.

"I am no match for you, you... you kill me!"

Sanji wore an expression of absolute determination.

255. Luffy's mental collapse; compared to Luo Xing, he is worthless.

Rather than become a transvestite, I might as well die!

Looking at the finger Ivankov extended, Sanji resolutely thought.

He was going to bite off his tongue and commit suicide!

"Puhahaha!"

Just as Sanji was about to end his own life,

Ivankov suddenly clutched his stomach and laughed loudly, tears streaming from laughter.

"Curl-browed boy, you are truly cute. I was just scaring you; you were actually going to commit suicide?"

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

"So, being a transvestite really repels you that much?"

Ivankov's loud laughter left Sanji somewhat bewildered.

Sanji called out in anger:

"What exactly do you want?"

"Maa maa, do not get too agitated."

Ivankov said:

"That was all just a joke with you. You are the Straw Hat boy's companion; how could I harm you?"

Sanji's brows furrowed.

The transvestites holding him nearby, at Ivankov's signal,

let him go.

Sanji rubbed his sore shoulders and frowned, saying:

"You know Luffy? Who are you to Luffy?"

Ivankov had teased Sanji enough and no longer concealed the truth.

He revealed everything.

"My name is Ivankov. I am the king here and also an officer of the Revolutionary Army."

"I assume you, as the Straw Hat boy's companion, already know this: our Revolutionary Army leader, Dragon, is Straw Hat Luffy's father!"

Sanji indeed knew Dragon was Luffy's father.

This, of course, was not learned from Luffy's own mouth.

It was from Luffy's grandfather, the Marine hero Garp.

Originally.

After the Straw Hat crew Rampaged at Enies Lobby,

Garp went to see Luffy once.

And informed him that his own father was the revolutionary Dragon.

Not only did Sanji learn this; the Marines Garp brought along also heard these words.

These words quickly spread within the Marines.

Causing quite an impact.

Actually,

the Marine high command and the World Government high command

regarding Garp being Dragon's father and Dragon being Straw Hat Luffy's father,

had known long ago.

After all, just from the names, one could easily guess the trickery involved.

It was only because of Garp's hero status and Sengoku's protection

that no one in the Marine high command or the World Government high command dealt with Garp.

But that is no longer possible now.

Because the current Fleet Admiral Sakazuki Akainu is a man who upholds absolute justice.

Akainu quite dislikes Garp.

Although without the Five Elders' order, he cannot do anything to Garp.

But at least within the Marines, Garp cannot be as unrestrained as he was during Sengoku's tenure!

The disputes within the Marines aside.

Suffice to say, upon hearing Ivankov's words, Sanji immediately understood the relationship.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he asked tensely:

"Luffy, do you know where Luffy is now?"

At Sabaody Archipelago.

The Tyrant Bear had slapped the entire Straw Hat crew apart, scattering them to the four winds.

Sanji had not yet had time to inquire about the whereabouts of his other companions.

Ivankov said:

"Don't worry. Buggy is actually an officer of the Revolutionary Army; he did it to save you."

"Buggy directly sent Luffy's Straw Hat crew to Baladi-go. Currently Already, they have followed the main force and boarded this island."

Sanji was overjoyed.

He never expected to see Luffy so soon.

He couldn't wait and called out:

"Take me to see Luffy quickly!"

Ivankov sighed and said:

"Of course I will take you to see him. We are counting on you to cheer the Straw Hat boy up!"

"What, cheer up? Has something happened to Luffy?"

Sanji suddenly recalled,

at that time,

that demon-like man,

had easily sent him flying and then slashed Luffy.

Even if Luffy survived, his injuries must have been extremely severe.

"Could it be that Luffy has developed psychological trauma from being struck by the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing?"

Sanji couldn't help but think this subconsciously.

Being nearly killed by that demon-like man; who wouldn't develop psychological trauma?

Ivankov said with hatred:

"The Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, that detestable fellow, indeed inflicted an unhealable scar upon the Straw Hat boy!"

The slash Luo Xing delivered to Straw Hat Luffy at that time was a cross-cut.

It left a deep X-shaped scar directly on Straw Hat Luffy's chest.

This scar can never heal, no matter what method is used!

In the original story.

Straw Hat Luffy also had such a scar on his chest, burned by Akainu's magma.

But in this world.

Although he did not participate in the Summit War, the scar was unavoidable, exactly the same.

Fate is sometimes so wonderful.

Ivankov's voice continued:

"But after Dragon's full efforts to save him, the Straw Hat boy has finally returned from the gates of death."
