Chapter 515: Chapter 515: Meiser is speechless; without me, the Straw Hat Pirates would fall apart sooner or later!

Although he didn’t know exactly what was going on, Sanji gladly accepted this encounter and held the woman tightly.

Just then, two armed human soldiers happened to rush over from a distance, shouting, "Where did that woman go?!"

"Damn it, she vanished in the blink of an eye..."

"She must have run through the back door to Lover’s Lane. She couldn’t have gone far, after her!"

"Right!"

Taking a stealthy peek at the two receding figures, Violet put on a relieved expression.

"Thank you, it seems I’m safe for now..."

With that, Violet intended to let go of Sanji, but the strength with which he was holding her was so great that she couldn’t break free.

"?"

"Sir, it’s fine now, please let—"

Before she could finish her sentence, she noticed Sanji’s expression.

This man... why was he having such a massive nosebleed?

"No need to thank me," Sanji said excitedly, his eyes turning into hearts. "It’s the least I could do."

After saying that, Sanji realized it wasn’t quite right to keep holding her like that, so he released Violet. However, for certain reasons, he was forced to crouch down.

"Are you all right?" Violet asked anxiously. "Did you hit your head just now?"

"No, no!"

Sanji snapped his head up and said, "What hit me was a sudden, fateful encounter!"

Violet: ???

Sanji’s words left Violet stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting a man to say such things.

It seems this man is even easier to handle than I imagined, Violet thought to herself. This mission should be completed smoothly.

With that confirmed, Violet put on a worried expression and said, "Sir, you’re bleeding a lot. Should I..."

"It’s fine, it doesn’t matter!" Sanji said, his eyes still hearts. "It doesn’t hurt at all~"

"Ah~"

"You poor thing, let me help stop the bleeding."

As she spoke, Violet leaned closer to Sanji, which made him practically jump out of his skin in excitement.

"Ah!!"

"I can’t take it anymore, my heart is out of control!"

"Is this the feeling of love?!"

"?"

Violet froze for a moment, then covered her face and said, "No... please don’t say that, and don’t look at me with those eyes. I... I have already discarded love and become a witch."

As if fearing Sanji wouldn’t understand, Violet continued, "All the men who have ever been involved with me, they all..."

Violet made a move to leave, but Sanji grabbed her arm.

"That’s right!"

Sanji shouted loudly, "They were all incredibly happy!"

To be with such a beautiful woman would definitely be a very happy thing, you bastard!

"You... I..."

Seeing Violet at a loss for words, Sanji decisively continued, "Who were those guys chasing you just now?"

"If there’s anything I can do to help, please don’t hesitate to speak up!"

As a knight, he could not stand by and watch!

Violet pursed her lips and said, "The ones chasing me just now were the guards of this country."

"Why would the guards want to arrest you?"

"Because I... due to a broken relationship, I stabbed a man."

"Huh?"

Sanji was momentarily stunned, saying in disbelief, "Is it actually true that women in this country stab men because of love?!"

That was truly shocking, but... as long as he wasn’t a two-timing jerk, he’d be fine!

Thinking of this, Sanji decisively gave Violet a thumbs up.

"Okay, I get it. No problem."

"?"

"This is also ’okay’?"

Sanji’s reaction was almost enough to make this woman, who was skilled at acting, lose her composure. However, she forced herself to remain calm, then turned her head and wept into her hands to prevent Sanji from seeing any flaws.

"What’s wrong?"

"You cannot forgive a demonic woman like me," Violet said with tears in her eyes. "Otherwise... I might fall in love with you."

"Ah!"

The moment he saw the look in Violet’s eyes, Sanji felt as if he had been struck by a bullet of love, and he fell backward.

In this moment, he truly felt the taste of love!

To think that he, Sanji, would one day encounter such a thing...

Perhaps today was his lucky day~

Realizing this, Sanji decisively moved to Violet’s side, grabbed her arm, and said, "I haven’t asked for the lady’s name yet."

"My name is Violet," she said, looking at Sanji with eyes full of longing. "If possible... could you take me to the neighboring town?"

"To escape those people?"

"Yes."

Violet nodded, then grabbed Sanji’s arm in return. "And... could you please help me kill someone?"

"There is a man... I want to kill him no matter what!"

At this moment, an incredibly intense hatred flared in Violet’s eyes.

Doflamingo... if possible, she wanted that bastard dead!

Understanding Violet’s resolve, Sanji said with a serious face, "Alright, I understand. Let’s go."

"?"

"Aren’t you even going to ask who it is?"

"No need."

Sanji stood up and straightened the collar of his suit, saying calmly, "I only need to know that he is a bastard who hurt a woman."

As for whether she was lying...

A woman’s tears do not lie!!

So Sanji was absolutely certain that this woman was serious; she truly wanted to kill a certain man!!

"Alright, let’s go then." Violet climbed up from the ground, brushed off her clothes, and said, "We’ll take the back alleys."

With that, Violet grabbed Sanji’s arm and quickly led him into a nearby alley, soon leaving Lover’s Lane.

"By the way."

Seeing a restaurant up ahead, the corners of Sanji’s mouth curled up. "Are you hungry?"

"Eh?"

Violet clearly hadn’t expected Sanji to bring that up suddenly. Did he plan to help her only after getting his fill?

As if seeing through Violet’s confusion, Sanji said, "I am a chef, and I have quite a bit of confidence in my skills."

"So... would you like to have a taste?"

"Um... alright."

Violet bit her lip and thought about it before agreeing to Sanji’s suggestion.

This made Sanji incredibly excited.

The two of them then walked toward the restaurant and soon entered through the back door.

This scene happened to be witnessed by one of Meiser’s Clones collecting information.

"Is that Sanji?"

Passing by, Meiser looked at the man’s departing back in surprise and muttered, "Why is he with a woman?"

Could this guy really be planning to have a sweet romance in this country?

Thinking of this, Meiser was a bit speechless. Had this guy forgotten the rumors they heard from the toy soldier when they first entered the town?

He really wasn’t afraid of death.

"Whatever, that woman doesn’t seem like a threat anyway, so I’ll ignore them for now," Meiser said.

Shaking his head, Meiser turned his gaze in other directions, wondering where he could find the factory and the Diamond-Diamond Fruit.

Thinking as he went, Meiser left the area.

He had already transformed into someone else, so he could smoothly conduct reconnaissance in this country without worrying about being discovered.

"I hope I can find the target soon," Meiser muttered.

Meanwhile, on another side.

After parting ways with Sanji, Zoro and Perona were quickly searching the streets for the whereabouts of the sword.

However, whether it was because that fairy was incredibly cunning or not, the two of them simply couldn’t find the thief’s exact location.

"Hey, Zoro."

Following behind Perona, Zoro said with a bit of a headache, "Can you actually confirm where that guy is?"

They had chased him for several blocks and hadn’t found the sword thief at all.

"Of course I can confirm it!" Zoro said without hesitation. "I can sense the aura of Autumn Water!"

"He was directly to our west just now!"

Perona: ...

Looking at the dead-serious Zoro, Perona fell silent for a moment and then asked a soul-piercing question.

"Then why did you suddenly turn?"

Zoro blinked upon hearing this. A turn?

Did he turn?

Oh, it seemed he had turned.

Seeing Zoro like this, Perona felt a surge of irritation.

"Do you actually want to find your sword or not!" Perona glared.

"Of course I want to find it!"

Zoro said without hesitation, "That’s my sword!"

As a swordsman, he absolutely could not lose his weapon, so no matter what happened, he had to get his sword back!

"Then look for it seriously, you idiot!" Perona grabbed Zoro by the ear and said, "Don’t get lost this time!"

"Huh?"

"How could I possibly get lost?" Zoro retorted.

"Then what happened just now?"

Zoro: ...

Stumped, Zoro fell silent for a moment before saying, "That was just an accident."

He would never admit he was directionally challenged.

Perona wasn’t surprised at all. She knew all too well how stubborn this idiot was.

Then, as if thinking of something, Perona covered her face and said, "You didn’t lose track of him on purpose, did you?"

"Huh?"

Several question marks popped up over Zoro’s head. What did she mean he lost track on purpose?

How could he do such a thing?

"I know, you don’t have to say it." Perona said with a blush. "You definitely wanted to spend a little more time alone with me."

"That’s not it!"

Zoro said, "I want my sword!"

Perona: ...

Her fist tightened!

"You idiot!"

Thwack!

"Why did you hit me?!"

"You asked for it!" Perona said crossly.

After saying that, she didn’t care whether Zoro understood what she meant or not and turned to walk ahead.

After a few steps, seeing that Zoro hadn’t followed, she spoke up in dissatisfaction, "Are you still standing there dazed?"

"Hurry up and follow me, we’re going to find the sword!"

Honestly, what a blockhead.

"Oh, got it."

Although he didn’t know what Perona was on about, the urgent matter was indeed to get his sword back as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Zoro temporarily pushed aside his extra thoughts and focused on sensing the weapon’s location.

Soon, he felt the direction of Autumn Water.

"To the west!"

"Still to the west, then?" Perona said. "In that case, I’ll lead the way this time!"

Seeing that Zoro was about to say something, Perona cut him off with her hands on her hips, "This lady is not some weak woman without stamina."

During those two years of training, she hadn’t just sat around.

Although she hadn’t mastered Haki, her physical stamina was much stronger than before, so leading Zoro to find that thief wouldn’t be a problem.

"Alright, no more nonsense, keep up!"

Seeing Perona say this, Zoro didn’t say anything more and immediately followed.

However, after coming to her side, he still added one thing.

"Actually, I just wanted to say that the person’s direction of movement might change," Zoro said seriously. "So I thought it would be better if I led the way."

"And then get us lost again?" Perona glanced at Zoro. "Just like just now."

Zoro: ...

Could she stop bringing that up?

Did he not have any dignity?

"Alright, stop dazing off and keep up!" Perona said. "Let’s try to find that sword thief as soon as possible!"

With that, Perona ran forward.

Seeing this, Zoro also shut his mouth, sensing the sword while chasing after her. Soon, he and Perona left the area together.

"Tsk."

Watching the two leave, Meiser’s Clone twitched his lips and said, "What’s up with those two? Are they here on a date?"

One after another, did they really think this place was a vacation resort?

Thinking of this, Meiser complained, "Luckily the Straw Hat Pirates have me, otherwise this team would fall apart sooner or later."

Shaking his head, Meiser withdrew his gaze, intending to ignore those two idiots for now.

Then, as if remembering something, Meiser muttered, "By the way... where did Kin’emon go?"

That guy couldn’t have gotten lost too, could he?

Thinking this, Meiser walked into the distance.

And the Kin’emon he was wondering about was currently standing in front of a fruit stall, looking with an excited expression at the beautiful female owner who was winking at him.

"Boss, you..."

"Sir, would you like to buy some fruit?" The beautiful owner said with a suggestive look. "It’s very cheap~"

This expression made Kin’emon even more excited.

Is this Dressrosa?

He loved Dressrosa to death!

A country like this is where a man belongs~

As if imagining a certain scene, Kin’emon’s face began to turn red rapidly.

Then, with a grand wave of his hand, he said, "Then I’ll take some!"

"Give me a thousand Berries’ worth!"

With that, Kin’emon took a thousand Berries from his robes and placed it on the table.

Seeing this, the beautiful owner’s expression changed instantly.

Turns out he’s a pauper!

Wasted a perfectly good wink!
