A single glance had overwhelmed the seemingly powerful pirate! This was unbelievable!
Sanji rubbed his eyes, checking again, but it was true.
Wapol felt his heart pounding. "Damn it! Why is Admiral White Dove in the East Blue?!"
Wapol tried to stand, but the Conqueror's Haki pressure was overwhelming. His face flushed, and he sweated profusely.
"Damn it, I can't win! I have to escape!"
He used his Devil Fruit ability! His ability matched his title: the Baku Baku no Mi, allowing him to become stronger the more he ate! It converted food into energy for battle.
He released his stored energy, trying to escape Baratie.
But he was too slow. Ryuya and Garp were already seated. The other diners were silent. They recognized Ryuya, the famous Admiral White Dove!
Ryuya looked at Sanji. This blond chef would be Luffy's future chef. Ryuya was curious about Sanji's cooking!
Ryuya waved at Sanji. Sanji felt his body tense. The pressure was immense!
"Welcome to Baratie! What would you like to order?" Sanji asked Ryuya.
Ryuya looked at the menu, "Bring all your specialties."
Garp laughed, "Haha, we order the same way!"
"Those with our strength need energy. Besides Sea Kings, we need to eat a lot here to replenish our energy!"
Garp nodded in agreement.
Sanji was stunned. He returned to the kitchen.
Zeff saw Wapol still trying to escape. He sighed and returned to the kitchen.
Sanji said, "Zeff, who were those two? The pressure was immense!"
Zeff smiled, "You're focused on cooking. You don't know much about the Grand Line. Those two are among the strongest!"
Sanji clenched his fist. He wasn't young anymore. He had aspirations, but they seemed too grand to pursue. Now, one of the strongest people was at Baratie. He couldn't miss this opportunity.
Sanji rushed out. Zeff's eyes widened. "Sanji! Come back! He's Navy, but not necessarily just!"
Zeff's words didn't reach Sanji. Sanji approached Ryuya.
Ryuya glanced at Sanji, the escaped "prince" of Germa 66, "What is it?"
"I'm Sanji. Does All Blue truly exist?!"
Ryuya looked at Sanji. Time seemed to stop. Ryuya looked at Sanji impassively. This put immense pressure on Sanji.
"All Blue? Even if it exists, it's not for you!"
"Strength is paramount on this sea. Without it, you'll become a corpse. Dreams without strength are castles in the air."
Ryuya said, "Instead of dreaming of All Blue, focus on your strength. Your bloodline shouldn't be this weak."
This stunned Sanji. Ryuya knew his true identity! Ryuya's words crushed Sanji's dream.
Like a zombie, Sanji returned to the kitchen. Zeff saw Sanji's expression, "Sanji, what happened? You look terrible."
Sanji looked at Zeff, "Zeff, on this sea, only the strong achieve their dreams?"
Zeff opened his mouth, but couldn't speak. After a long silence, "Forget it. Let's serve the Admiral's food."
"You don't want anyone to go hungry?"
Sanji nodded. Instead of dwelling, he would serve the customer, then strengthen himself, and pursue his dream!
