Chapter 712： route

  Chapter 712 Route

Facing Klick's ambitious and arrogant speech, Luffy put his straw hat over his head and answered briefly and forcefully.

"don't want."

Crick's expression changed slightly, as if provoked by Luffy, he said. "What are you talking about, you nameless brat? I'm the 'Admiral of the East China Sea' Crick who offers a reward of 17 million Baileys!!!"

Luffy raised his head, the eyes under the straw hat answered simply and firmly. "Don't just don't! Ying is already my partner, how can I give it to you."

"If that's the case, then don't blame me for using force."

The next moment, as Crick took the lead in attacking, a large number of surviving "Crick Pirates" pirates followed and surrounded the seemingly weak Straw Hats.

After removing the seriously wounded Zoro and Ying, plus Nami and Usopp, who were actually very weak in combat at this time, only Luffy and Sora were really capable of fighting.

In the face of a large group of pirates, Luffy said in an unquestionable tone.

"Sora, you protect Ying and Zoro, leave these enemies to me!"

"Um?"

Sora raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Luffy somewhat unexpectedly.

‘Rather than destroying the enemy, does Luffy care more about protecting the injured Ying and Zoro? What a nice guy. ’

Although a small pirate group of this level is almost at the level of destruction for Sora and Ying, Sora felt the precious intention of protecting his companions from Luffy.

This is something that is more rare in this chaotic sea than strength.

Immediately, Sora slowly pulled out the "famous sword, dead wood" from his waist and assured Luffy. "Okay, Luffy, don't worry, I will never let the enemy get close to Zoro and Ying."

The next moment, the battle will also start!

Yon, who returned to the upstairs room of Barati in the "Sea Restaurant", was calmly watching the battle below. Compared to Biko, he chopped down all the approaching pirates to the ground with ease. The side is deeply surrounded by heavy siege, and the battle is relatively much more tragic.

"Damn!"

At this moment, Ion noticed an unwilling voice from downstairs, and saw Sanji tugging at the collar of his suit, just about to join the battlefield in front of him.

"Hey, Sanji, don't do superfluous things, this is a battle between pirates, and we are just the chefs of the 'sea restaurant' Barati." Chef Zhepu reminded Sanji.

Suddenly, the rest of the chefs also started to persuade.

"Yeah, Sanji, that was the 'Crick Pirates'. At its peak, there were more than 5,000 members and a full fifty ships of the Great Pirates. We couldn't afford to provoke them."

"Even if the Creek Pirates failed to attack the Great Route, they might recover soon, and we may be retaliated against afterwards."

"Sanji, we guys are nothing, but you have to think about your sister..."

Sanji's actions couldn't help being taken aback as he said that from the chef who didn't know him.

For Sanji, his most cherished relative is Reiju.

Instinctively, Sanji turned his head to look in the direction of Reiju, and Leiju, who was leaning gracefully on the railing, habitually pulled a few strands of hair behind her ears, and then showed a gentle smile at Sanji. , said.

"Sanji, just do whatever you want. Your sister hasn't fallen to the point where you need your protection."

Sanji's expression froze for a moment, then he pouted and said. "Tsk, I don't care about you."

Reijiu smiled lightly, without revealing Sanji, and said instead.

"Just before you take action, you need to understand what the real consequences are. Once we are put on a bounty, it means that the man will know the news that we are still alive, which means that the East China Sea is no longer for us. Safe."

"Tsk, I know this kind of thing without you telling me..."

Sanji hesitated, then said.

"I only brought the Creek Pirates here because I saved Akin. How can I pretend that nothing happened? I'm sorry, Reiju..."

The next moment, Sanji stepped on the guardrail, and the whole person flew to show a slightly immature kicking skill and joined Luffy's battle.

While seeing Sanji join the battle, the rest of the chefs expressed dissatisfaction, but the words they said showed concern for Sanji.

"Bastard Sanji, he really only has his sister in his eyes..."

"Never mind, Chef Zapp, I can't stand it either."

"Let's do it too, let them know the chef's anger, how can we allow these pirates to bully our guests without authorization?"

"That's right, even the kid Sanji has taken action. We seniors are going to be looked down upon."

Facing the chefs' request, Zhep snorted coldly, but turned around and walked towards the restaurant with his arms crossed.

"Whatever you want, anyway, the Creek Pirates make such a riot today, Barati can only temporarily close for one day!"

Suddenly, with Zhepp's acquiescence, these sturdier chefs joined the battle with all kinds of kitchen utensils.

Witnessing this scene, Ion couldn't help laughing a little dumbly, showing a knowing smile.

"What a bunch of awkward and cute guys..."

As the chefs joined the battle, many of the "Crick Pirates" were quickly defeated, and in the end there was only a duel between Crick and Luffy, and Akin and Sanji.

"Boom!"

Just then, Ion's door was knocked cautiously.

"Come in, Nami."

The next moment, the door was opened, and Nami, who had sneaked away from the battlefield, quickly flashed into the room, and hurriedly closed the door again.

Ion said helplessly when he saw this.

"Nami, don't be so sneaky, you didn't come here to steal."

"what……"

Nami smiled awkwardly and said. "Get used to it, get used to it."

Ion shook his head helplessly, then took out a chart from his arms and handed it to Nami.

Nami opened the chart and glanced at it, but what was depicted on it was an unfamiliar sea area that Nami had never heard of. The ocean currents, climate, routes, etc. were almost all very different from Nami's past knowledge.

After a full while, Nami couldn't help raising her head and asked. "This is?"

"This is part of the chart of the 'first half' of the Great Route. The route above is the route the Straw Hat Pirates will sail after entering the Great Route."

While    said, Ion also handed Nami the record pointer of a great route.
