Chapter 448

Luffy opened his eyes wide, looked at the obviously unfamiliar scene before him, and sat up immediately.

Where was he?

At the same time, he noticed the fish-headed person nearby.

He immediately became vigilant.

He remembered his last memory was being separated from his other companions.

Now that he appeared here unharmed, could it be that he was rescued?

The fish-headed person nearby was also caught off guard by Luffy's excitement.

But knowing that Luffy might be uncomfortable because he suddenly appeared here, he gave an explanation.

"We found you in a certain place; you had already lost consciousness at that time."

Luffy breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this explanation.

He thought he had fallen into the enemy's base, but fortunately, he had been saved.

Otherwise, he would have really let down Hancock for everything she had done for him during this time.

"I need to find my companions."

Luffy firmly believed that they had no malice toward him.

He jumped off the bed and prepared to go outside; once he found all his companions, he would come back here to thank them properly.

At this moment, several merfolk also swarmed over.

"Your companions are all waiting for you outside!"

Luffy was originally a bit nervous, but he calmed down after hearing this.

If he were the only one lost here, he would be a bit worried.

After all, they had all traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers to get here.

There were still so many things left to do; how could they have gotten separated like this?

Thinking this, he went outside, where Usopp, Sanji, and Chopper were already waiting for him.

"Luffy!"

Seeing him, Chopper couldn't control his excitement and pounced on him.

Luffy felt relieved seeing that none of the people around him were injured.

He thought that such a powerful airflow would definitely have caused them some harm.

Fortunately, everyone had just been unconscious for a while and could still eat and drink as usual after waking up.

"Everyone is fine, that's really great."

A mermaid walked toward them.

She introduced herself to everyone, stating that she was the owner of this place.

She also dried their wet clothes and handed them back.

"I will help you look for your other companions, but it will take some time."

Seeing the beautiful mermaid in front of him, Sanji instantly turned to stone.

"Oh no!"

This familiar feeling made Chopper's pores tighten instantly.

Was this guy going to faint here? If so, he really wouldn't be able to save him.

All his equipment was still on the war chariot.

That powerful airflow not only scattered them but might have also destroyed the equipment on the war chariot.

Sanji soon realized something was wrong, immediately knelt down in frustration, and pounded the floor.

This action attracted everyone's attention; they didn't know what was wrong with him.

"I knew there were very beautiful mermaids here, but I had already sworn before that I absolutely must not faint from a nosebleed here!"

"Now I've done it, so can you give me a little treat!"

Sanji begged bitterly with tears, but no one at the scene paid any attention to him.

Chopper thought he had made some progress, but it seemed he had overthought it.

"So he was holding it in..."

It seemed he would need to give him more intensive rehabilitation later.

【I have to say, this is torture for Sanji.】

【You can't blame Sanji, after all, the mermaids here are truly beautiful.】

【I thought Sanji had changed, but I didn't expect him to be the same old self.】

【Old habits die hard! I can only say, this illness cannot be cured!】

【I have to say, these mermaids are quite friendly; in other circumstances, they might have kicked Sanji out.】

【Nami: You can just report my ID card.】

"Now that you have all recovered, follow me to take a look outside."

Camie generously offered an invitation.

The place they were currently in was an underground fortress, which was originally the warehouse for their shops.

Instead of staying here, it would be better to let them go outside and take a look.

This way, they could find their other lost companions, and perhaps even find the war chariot.

Sanji sat on the carriage, thinking only of mermaids.

Because Camie had just said she would take him to see her friends.

Mermaid friends—wouldn't those be mermaids?

All of them were beautiful existences!

"Everyone! Over here!"

Soon, they arrived at their destination.

Camie saw her friends and waved in their direction, and Sanji followed her gaze.

When he saw the group of beautiful mermaids on the road, his brain cells died instantly.

How long had it been since he had seen so many pleasing things on the road? This moment dealt a huge blow to his brain.

So much so that he didn't react at all.

He didn't even notice that his nosebleed had already covered the ground.

"Sir, are you okay?"

A mermaid saw this and immediately went to check on Sanji's condition.

Sanji was originally a bit dazed, but he focused his eyes and met the mermaid in front of him.

A gentle touch came from her palm—this was a beauty's hand!

Instantly, he was so excited that he shed manly tears.

"He actually started wailing!"

Chopper was thinking about what medicine he should use to save Sanji if he fainted.

He didn't expect this guy to be wailing in the blink of an eye.

They had been companions for so long, and he had truly never seen him lose his composure like this.

A man doesn't shed tears easily.

And now he was crying as if he had fulfilled his life's greatest wish.

Luffy saw this and widened his eyes, "He's crying even more miserably than when he left the restaurant!"

When Sanji first joined them, he cried quite miserably when leaving the restaurant where he had stayed for over ten years.

Now he was crying even worse than that time.

This...

"I finally found it."

"My kingdom!"

Sanji couldn't calm down for a long time.

Looking at the stone pillars emitting light in front of him, and the many beautiful mermaids, he shouted.

Wasn't all this wandering during this period just for such an ideal and beautiful life?

Now he had finally found the meaning of continuing to live!

He was very passionate a second ago, but this only lasted for a short three seconds before he became sentimental again.
