Sanji took the Belly handed over by the other person, counted it slightly, confirmed it was correct, and then turned to buy cotton candy again.
However...
Just as he took a step, he suddenly caught sight of Chopper from the corner of his eye, and something seemed amiss.
Hmm?
He turned around abruptly, only to see Chopper surrounded by two strange men, one of whom was smiling and offering him a pink cotton candy.
Chopper took two steps back, looking vigilant.
Yet his gaze was involuntarily drawn to the bulingbuling shining cotton candy, and within two seconds, saliva was already dripping.
Why do those two men...
Also wear floral shirts?
"Hey! What are you doing!"
Sanji was instantly alert, realizing something was wrong, and rushed over immediately.
But before he could get close, he saw Chopper take the cotton candy with a smile and bite into it, then suddenly start wobbling, his eyes turning hazy.
"Chopper! Don't eat it!"
Sanji was both shocked and angry, yelling as he charged forward, his right leg sweeping towards the two men like a whip.
The tall, skinny man couldn't react in time, getting kicked several meters away, crashing heavily into the wall.
"Damn it!"
The other bald brute barely dodged, revealing his fierce countenance as he pulled out a knife from his coat and stabbed violently at Sanji.
The man with the bushy beard who initially collided with Sanji also drew a short dagger and sneaked up from behind.
Just you guys?
Sanji sneered, easily dodging with a slight body turn, then kicking both sides like lightning, striking their wrists.
Ka!
The crisp sound of bones breaking echoed, the dagger fell to the ground in response, and the men screamed like slaughtered pigs, clutching their wrists and kneeling on the ground.
"Hang in there, Chopper, I'll take you to the hospital!"
Chopper had already completely passed out, and Sanji hurriedly crouched down to check his condition.
At the same time, the tall, skinny man who had been kicked, spat out a mouthful of blood, clutched his chest, and wobbily stood up.
Die!
The meddling brat!
The tall, skinny man sneered viciously, suddenly pulling out a gun, aiming at Sanji's back, and without hesitation, pulling the trigger!
But, just at this moment.
"ROOM."
Amidst the calm voice, a light blue hemispherical space suddenly expanded, enveloping Sanji, Chopper, and the three traffickers within.
"Slaughterhouse."
In a flash of the blade, the three kidnappers' bodies were instantly segmented from top to bottom, scattered like collapsing building blocks all over the ground.
"Hey! What's happening!"
"What's happened to us?"
Their heads stared wide-eyed in terror, realizing they were still alive but completely unable to control their bodies.
The bullet that was fired was also split into several pieces, losing its momentum, and dropped to the ground with a plop.
What kind of Devil Fruit ability is this?
Sanji had never seen such a scene, and furiously raised his head, spotting a young man wearing a leopard-print hat sheathing his sword.
"I'm a colleague of the Super Rookies from the same era as Chopper here and also a fellow doctor."
Law glanced at him, saying blandly, "I just happened to pass by and decided to help. Next time, be careful and keep an eye on your captain. Don't get blindsided in a place like this."
"Huh?"
Sanji scratched his head, clueless, "Uh, I mean, did you mistake anything? What makes you think you're acting like a lifesaver? Do you think that bullet could have taken me down?"
What a joke!
He had already noticed the trafficker's little action, just didn't bother with it, focusing on Chopper's condition.
"A guy with a bounty of fifty Belly, still so stubborn."
Law shook his head in disappointment, feeling rather uninterested, and unwilling to argue with a pirate of Sanji's caliber. He waved to his companions behind him, preparing to leave.
"Wait a minute!"
Hmm?
Law turned back with a frown, and Bebo beside him angrily prepared to throw a bear punch at this ungrateful person.
"Don't misunderstand!"
Sanji quickly waved his hand, "Whether you saved me or not is not the issue, it's my attitude that's incorrect! The one with the leopard-print hat, you said you're also a doctor, right? Can I ask you to check on my partner? I don't know what those bastards used, and I'm very worried!"
The members of the Red Heart Pirates exchanged glances and finally gathered their gaze on Law.
"Very well."
Law remained silent for a while and sighed, stepping forward and crouching down to check Chopper's condition.
However.
Just at this time, a commotion suddenly arose from afar.
"Lady Charulia, Saint Pulminge, gracing this place!"
"All irrelevant personnel, evacuate immediately!"
"Evacuate immediately!"
Two teams of Navy Soldiers in white uniforms, one on each side, were clearing the scene.
From farther away, something significant seemed to be coming, the crowd separated like a tide, regardless of whether they were local residents or tourists. They all hurriedly bowed their heads, knelt on the ground, not daring to even look up.
"It's the Heavenly Celestial Dragon!"
Law's face changed drastically, and he ceased checking Chopper's condition, urgently saying:
"Hey! Everyone, follow me for now, this is not the time to cause trouble, we'll discuss everything later!"
The members of the Red Heart Pirates nodded in agreement without hesitation, ready to take off and follow.
Bebo passed by Sanji, seeing him dazed and unresponsive, kindly extended a pudgy paw to pull him along.
Hmm?
Sanji couldn't understand the situation at all, being tugged along still bewildered, as he gazed towards the distance:
"Why? What's happened to everyone, what's this Heavenly Celestial stuff, and why do you get so frightened upon hearing the name?"
