Reno calmly watched this scene, then shook his head.
There's an old saying, 'Ignorance is bliss.'
He deserved to die.
While Reno was fighting Pearl...
Luffy wasn't idle either, actively seeking out Captain Krieg.
He had disliked that guy for a long time.
As for Sanji, in order to protect the Baratie Restaurant from Pirate Crew damage, he had no choice but to fight Gin.
As for the result...
Naturally, there was no surprise.
Luffy defeated Krieg.
Sanji defeated Gin.
With the defeat of all the executives of the Krieg Pirate Crew...
At this point, the Krieg Pirate Crew was declared defeated.
Everyone erupted in cheers.
"To defeat the overlord of the East Blue by himself, and even fight Mihawk without falling behind, these young fellows have a very bright future."
Zeff watched Reno and Luffy's performance.
Then he looked at Sanji, who was silently standing by.
Knowing Sanji's character well, he knew that Sanji was already wavering.
On the other side...
After the three executives of Krieg were defeated, the people of the Baratie Restaurant were not idle either.
These hateful guys were originally eyeing their restaurant.
With only some scattered remnants left, they naturally wouldn't let them go.
Everyone swarmed forward, tying up all the other pirates from the Krieg Pirate Crew.
This naturally included Captain Krieg of the Krieg Pirate Crew.
first mate Iron Wall Pearl.
And finally, Gin the Demon.
Their combined bounty amounted to over forty million Berries.
And Reno and Luffy didn't want any of this money.
They left it all to the Baratie Restaurant.
The chefs of the restaurant were beaming with joy.
Of course, Zeff, knowing that Sanji was already wavering, decisively pushed Sanji out, going with the flow.
Although he was reluctant, he could see some of Sanji's inner thoughts.
Perhaps only by following Reno and Luffy could Sanji's dream be realized.
Sanji was certainly willing in his heart, and he finally agreed to join the Straw Hat Pirates.
Baratie.
"Thank you for your guidance during this time; I have no way to repay you!"
Sanji's head hit the ground heavily, tears streaming down his cheeks.
Although he usually liked to bicker with Zeff, he deeply respected his teacher in his heart.
At this moment, the man completely released his inner emotions.
"Seriously, couldn't he just say goodbye quietly? Does it have to be so sentimental?"
Zeff, who had already returned to the second floor, grumbled.
But he still subtly wiped the corner of his eye.
He didn't know when the sand got in.
And so, Sanji successfully joined the Straw Hat Pirates.
He said goodbye to the sea restaurant where he had stayed for several years.
"Yosh, we finally have a chef on our pirate ship!"
With Sanji joining, Luffy, being a big eater, was the most excited.
He happily greeted Sanji.
Immediately after, Reno and Usopp also extended a warm welcome to Sanji.
As for Cat Burglar Nami...
Hmm...
Before she even spoke, Sanji had already gone over to fawn over her.
His eyes were already filled with hearts.
