I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

Germa Fortress, Sanji's room.

Sanji stood on the balcony, adopting the strategy of out of sight, out of mind.

Reiju in the room turned to look at the balcony: "How long do you plan to stay there? You're so cold! I haven't seen my sister in 13 years..."

"How many times do I have to say it! I have already cut off ties with you!" Sanji turned his head impatiently.

The green algae-haired girl sat next to Reiju, her face filled with indignation: "Ignore that rude guy, he's a royal, ugh!"

"You bastard, green-haired bastard! Stop it!" Sanji's face darkened. This bastard! He had been hanging around Reiju since he came in. He seriously suspected that was not an excuse at all. This bastard had come here just for that woman.

"Haha, your companion is right, Sanji."

Sanji pointed at the photos on the wall angrily and said, "Listen up! I have long since cut ties with a family of lunatics like you who would hang such disgusting photos on the wall! And you, green-haired guy, I remind you again, stay away from that woman! This family is full of lunatics without any feelings."

Reiju didn't seem to mind at all, still smiling. "This photo simply refers to the momentous event of the conquest of the four kings of the North Sea—the Great Slaughter of the Four Kingdoms. My father's dream is for Germa to reign supreme in the North Sea once again. Isn't that wonderful? Men, after all, crave power and fame."

Then she continued, "Don't keep sucking away the fumes of a small pirate group. Why don't you enjoy this rare royal bloodline? Look, these ten maids are at your beck and call, and it's all because you're royal."

"Please give your orders... Your Highness." At this time, the ten maids beside him responded in unison, and the angry Sanji's eyes instantly turned into little hearts.

"Tsk, you're really unambitious." The algae-haired man shook his head, then turned to look at Reiju: "However, beautiful princess, I don't quite agree with what you said about the small pirate group. We now have a large fleet with 8,000 subordinates."

Reiju didn't argue, but continued to smile. "That's nothing compared to here. Here he's a prince, he can leave the fighting to the soldiers, and he doesn't have to worry about money. What's wrong with that?"

"Why are you still talking nonsense now? I won't get married!"

"Isn't Bruin great? I like her very much." Reiju's eyes narrowed into crescents.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door. Several people looked up and saw a burly golden-haired uncle walking into the room.

"Father, why are you here?"

"You bastard..." Sanji's attitude was very bad

"Are you still upset, son..." The man walked towards Sanji with a condescending look.

The filial son Sanji, holding a cigarette in his mouth, looked extremely rebellious: "Don't recognize a son randomly. Even if I have a father, it's not you!!"

"What did you do to Yongzhi? That kid is still very strong." The golden-haired uncle looked cold.

"It's just that I'm better than him."

"Come out with me. Men should use their fists when they have something to say."

The man with the green algae-haired head held his forehead helplessly. It would not be nice to chop this off. It is better not to interfere in matters like a father beating his son.

……

"You don't seem worried at all. Aren't you guys partners?" On the balcony of the castle, Reiju glanced at the noisy training ground downstairs, then turned to look at the green-haired man who was tactically drinking tea in the room.

"When a father beats his son, he can't beat him to death. Besides, your father can't beat him either, of course, the premise is that the guy doesn't show mercy." The green algae-haired man took a sip of tea and said, "But, he is a gentle man. He won't hold back except to beat me... Bah! Despicable."

"Haha, yes." Reiju recalled the past: "He is indeed a gentle person. Then again, I heard that you once bumped into Big Mom."

"Hmm? It's not called a collision, it should be said... well, teach her how to do things." The green algae-haired man touched his chin. Only when the weak collide with the strong can it be called a collision. Can this be called a collision?

"Haha, this is Big Mom's territory, so I suggest you leave quietly before the wedding. Big Mom won't let Sanji leave." Reiju lit a cigarette.

The green algae-head grinned and said, "You are very gentle, but her words don't count with me. I promised the captain that I would bring him back."

Then, the straight man with the green algae-headed face stood up and walked over to Reiju, snatching the cigarette from her hand: "It's not good for girls to smoke."

???

As the two chatted, the battle on the training grounds intensified. Seeing Sanji use his armed Haki to block the high-tech gun in the hands of the blond uncle, Reiju couldn't help but exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Oh... That Sanji back then has become so powerful."

An idea suddenly occurred to Zoro: "What a shame, your father's fighting style is somewhat shameful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sanji used his Devil's Wind Kick to deliver a fatal kick, and was about to kick the big gun in the golden-haired uncle's hand away. However, suddenly a figure appeared between the two of them. It was an emotionless Germa soldier.

Sanji could only stop the attack forcibly, but the golden-haired uncle did not reduce the momentum of his gun. After piercing through the soldier's body, he launched an electromagnetic cannon at Sanji.

Sanji, who was extremely disappointed with his family, was blown away by the electromagnetic cannon and fell heavily to the ground and never got up again.

……

In the room, the man with the green algae-haired head sat aside with his eyes closed, not wanting to get involved in the quarrel between father and son.

Reiju knelt beside Sanji and applied medicine to him attentively: "You are quite resilient. I am really surprised. This is actually the Sanji from back then..."

"How stupid! I just want the tea party to end quickly so that Big Mom's invitation can be rescinded!" Sanji glanced at the golden-haired uncle who walked in, and the filial son immediately flew into a rage: "I thought you had changed a little, but I didn't expect you to be even worse than before! Get out of this room! Uncle! I have nothing to do with you!"

"No—you have my blood in you!" Although the uncle was indifferent, he still explained, "Don't get me wrong... Germa's soldiers are all loyal followers who are extremely happy to serve the Vinsmoke family. It is because of them that they deserve to be called our Germa's strongest military force."

The green algae head shook his head and said, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk, listen, is this what people say?"

"In that case, why don't you just rely on them to realize your boring dream?" Sanji's eyes were filled with anger.

"I do want to borrow Big Mom's power, but she has a condition. I must marry her. Although it's just a marriage, I don't want to give my precious son to that old woman. So I remembered that I once had a useless son. Sanji, I am still the same as before. I didn't regard you as a son at all! You are just a sacrifice!"

Just as a hint of anger flashed in Sanji's eyes, he felt a pair of things on his hands. They were the silver bracelets that Reiju had handcuffed him with when she applied the medicine.

"Hey! What is this!?"

"You said you care about your hands, right? That's perfect. You know the collars that the Celestial Dragons give to their slaves? Big Mom was very thoughtful. She lent it to me. Once you run away from this island, the bracelet will explode. The key is also in her hand. Your marriage is settled." The golden-haired uncle looked arrogant.

……

On the balcony of the room, Sanji looked down at his hands: "Hey! Green algae head, you've seen enough, what should we do now?"

"Hey! Why didn't you ask me earlier?" Zoro opened his eyes after closing them to rest. "Do you want to leave now, or wait until we get married?"

"Don't pretend you didn't hear me! If I can't protect my hands, I won't be able to cook!" Sanji looked at the nonchalant green-haired boy and was furious.

"Tsk, it's just a small collar. Have you ever seen Rayleigh take off a slave's collar?"

"what?"

"Um... yeah, Rayleigh performed it in the cell that day, you didn't see it... Anyway, I can help you take it off."

"Really?" Sanji looked suspicious.

"Stop talking nonsense. The most important thing now is to solve the restaurant uncle's troubles. I'll give you two options. First, I'll destroy your fucking family. Second, defeat Big Mom and let Luffy become the new Four Emperors. Then no one will dare to touch the restaurant uncle."

"Do you want to hear what you're saying?"

Sanji no longer looked at the reckless man, with a look of despair on his face.
