Chapter 54: Meeting an Old Acquaintance
"Reiju?"
"Sanji, do you know her? She’s very strong."
Hearing the conversation between Sanji and Reiju, Luffy and the others were shocked.
"She... she is my sister, Princess of the Germa Kingdom in the North Blue, Vinsmoke Reiju."
Sanji also looked at Reiju in shock, clearly not expecting to see her here.
"What?" Luffy and the others were shocked again, their mouths agape, looking at Reiju and Sanji in disbelief.
They clearly hadn't expected that this person who was so strong and had abducted Nami would be Sanji’s sister.
And if Reiju was a princess, didn't that mean Sanji was also a prince?
Thinking of this, Usopp and Chopper looked at each other, their eyes turning into stars as they looked at Sanji.
A companion they usually bragged and joked with had turned into a noble prince, making them incredibly envious.
Ignoring the shock of Luffy and the others, Sanji came before Reiju and asked quickly:
"Reiju, why did you abduct Nami?"
"And why are you here? Aren't you in the North Blue?"
Reiju pulled up a chair and sat at the gate, crossing her legs as she looked at Sanji and smiled sweetly:
"I came here following your brother-in-law."
"Your brother-in-law took a fancy to the two little girls in your crew, so he had them abducted; that’s all."
"You guys should go back, otherwise you’re going to be crying in a moment."
Brother-in-law?
Brother-in-law took a fancy to Nami and Robin, and then you helped him abduct Nami? **CHAPTER 110**
Hearing this information-packed statement from Reiju, Sanji froze in place, his mind in total chaos.
He didn't know when he had acquired a brother-in-law, and he certainly hadn't expected his sister to help this brother-in-law snatch other girls.
This bastard brother-in-law!
It’s just so...
Envious!
Sanji thought angrily in his heart.
Conis, Zoro, Usopp, Chopper, and the others nearby were also stunned by what Reiju said.
Helping one’s husband snatch other women—this was the first time they had ever heard of such a thing.
"Wait, you aren't the maid of the God, who exactly are you?"
Conis, on the side, finally confirmed that Reiju was not the maid of the God Enel and shouted in surprise.
"The God you’re talking about, wouldn't that be Enel?"
Reiju rested her chin on her hand, looked at Conis, and smiled. "Enel is dead; I killed him with my own hands yesterday."
What? That lawless God Enel was actually dead.
And it was the person before them who had killed him...
Had the terrifying rule of the God Enel finally ended?
Hearing Reiju’s words, Conis was both surprised and happy, feeling the shadow that had hung over her head dissipate for the most part.
"Bastard, give Nami and Robin back to me."
Luffy put on his straw hat and looked at Reiju angrily.
He didn't care what relationship these people had with Sanji; as long as they didn't return Nami and Robin, he was prepared to send them all flying!
Hearing Luffy’s words, Reiju smiled lightly and clapped her hands.
Behind her, Anna, carrying a spiked club, walked out coldly.
Then, Makino appeared with a complex expression.
Seeing Makino appear, Luffy was shocked and exclaimed in astonishment:
"Makino, how are you here?"
"Shouldn't you be in Foosha Village?"
Seeing Makino appear, Luffy was truly stunned.
Makino could be said to have watched him grow up; she had been very caring toward him, Ace, and Sabo.
Suddenly thinking of something, Luffy looked at Makino with a smile and said:
"Makino, have you come to be a pirate too? That’s really great."
Hearing Luffy’s words, Makino frowned slightly.
After seeing what real pirates were like, her filter for pirates had vanished without a trace.
Thinking for a moment, Makino said to Luffy:
"Luffy, you guys should go back; don't be pirates anymore."
Hearing Makino’s words, the smile on Luffy’s face disappeared, as if he didn't recognize Makino anymore.
After a period of silence.
"Makino, thank you very much for taking care of me before."
Luffy pulled his straw hat down and looked at Makino. "Sorry, but we are enemies now."
Anyone who dared to stand in the way of him becoming the Pirate King, Luffy would send them flying without hesitation!
"Luffy, I’m sorry."
Makino walked to Reiju’s side and stood there firmly.
If she let Luffy and the others rush in now to disturb Lin Yu’s good time, they would likely have to face Lin Yu’s wrath.
By then, Makino and the others wouldn't be able to beg for mercy.
"Don't delay, you guys come out too."
"This kind of thing is something that has to be faced sooner or later."
Reiju, who hadn't had enough of the show, chuckled and clapped her hands again.
Then, Kaya and Vivi also walked out with complex expressions, looking at the Straw Hat crew.
They had also just learned that Luffy and the others were on this Sky Island.
This had caught them off guard, leaving them not knowing how to face the Straw Hat crew.
Usopp looked at Kaya, who had walked out, his eyes widening in disbelief as he exclaimed:
"Kaya, how are you here?"
Usopp was stunned; he would never have imagined meeting Kaya here.
With Kaya’s frail body, she shouldn't be suitable for going to sea at all.
"Vivi, how did you get here too? Didn't you say you were going to stay in Alabasta?"
Chopper looked at Vivi, who had appeared together, and asked in shock.
The scene of saying goodbye to Vivi was still fresh in his mind.
Yet he hadn't expected that only a few days later, Vivi would appear before them again.
And she was standing with their enemies.
"Vivi, are you also an accomplice in snatching Nami?"
Zoro looked at Vivi and said in a deep voice.
"Vivi, was it that guy named Lin Yu who forced you!"
Seeing Vivi not answer, Zoro asked again coldly.
Luffy and Sanji nearby also looked at Vivi, who had walked out, in shock.
No matter what, they couldn't have imagined that a companion they had just parted with would now be standing on the opposing side.
Vivi pursed her lips; she had only just learned after waking up what Lin Yu and Reiju had done yesterday.
She also just learned that Lin Yu had already "taken" Nami.
This bastard really didn't hesitate at all!
At the same time, Vivi also just learned of the connection between Makino, Kaya, Nojiko, and the others with Luffy and his crew.
However, she couldn't speak or explain any of this now.
Because Reiju had already told them.
Lin Yu had spared the Straw Hat crew’s lives yesterday only for their sake.
If they wanted to ensure the safety of the Straw Hat crew, they had to completely sever their ties with them.
Otherwise, given Lin Yu’s nature of wiping out pirates and his terrifying strength, Luffy and the others would absolutely not escape this Sky Island.
Just as Vivi was hesitating, Kaya pursed her lips and looked at Usopp:
"Usopp, I hate pirates, and besides, I have someone I like now."
"You should go back now, okay?" **CHAPTER 111**
