Belial, Tregear, new members of the Straw Hat Pirates

"Wait a minute, let me clear my head." Belial rubbed his forehead, then sat cross-legged on the ground, a faint light emanating from his body.

A light surrounded Belial's body, radiating a warm aura that gave those around him a strange sense of comfort.

This surprised Reiju, as she had never seen this ability before. Was it self-healing?

A dozen seconds later, Belial got up, stretched, and said, "Damn it, eating fish almost killed me."

"Where's Luffy?"

"Here it is."

Belial looked at Luffy, who was undergoing detoxification treatment by Whitebeard, and said, "You little brat, I'm really impressed."

"So, what just happened?" Belial asked.

"Oh, I see." Nami told Belial what had just happened.

Belial looked at Reiju, then at Yonji on the ship, and said, "Sanji's siblings? What a coincidence."

At that moment, Brooke leaned closer and asked, "Beautiful lady, may I see your underwear...?"

"Don't interrupt!" Belial shoved Brook aside and asked Reiju, "So you're here to see Sanji?"

“Yes, we’ve been looking for Sanji ever since he got separated from us many years ago,” Reiju said.

"Two years ago, we saw Sanji's wanted poster. After you defeated Doflamingo, my father went to the Marine Headquarters and demanded that Sanji be captured alive."

Upon hearing this, Nami suddenly realized, "So that's why Sanji's wanted poster says he can only be captured alive."

"We came here to pick up Sanji, but he's not here."

"So are we."

"But thank you anyway, thank you for taking care of my little brother," Reiju said with a smile. After saying that, Reiju returned to her ship.

"Farewell, but I advise you to leave. This is not something you can control," Reiju said.

"No, we won't leave." A firm voice rang out, and Luffy, who was being healed by Big White, jumped up and said to Reiju, "Sanji is our comrade, we won't abandon him!"

"I see. Well then, good luck." After saying that, Reiju gave everyone a charming look, then had someone start the ship and sail in one direction.

Watching the ship gradually depart, Nami asked, "Belial, should we follow them? We might find Sanji."

“Let’s forget about it,” Belial said. “First of all, the fact that they’re here means they don’t know where Sanji is. If we follow them, we might not only fail to find Sanji, but we could also be attacked.”

“I agree,” Pedro said. “Let’s go straight to BIG.MOM’s territory.”

"it is good."

With everyone at ease, they changed direction and, guided by Bekemus, headed towards Cocoa Island.

As they approached Cocoa Island, Belial said, "Everyone, disguise yourselves first, especially our group. We're wanted criminals."

"understood."

Nami wore a red and white casual outfit and a red short skirt, which perfectly showcased her voluptuous figure, and she also wore a pink sun hat.

Luffy was wearing a white shirt and shorts, while Brook was in a tuxedo. They were both lying on the ground staring at Nami's long legs, and then...

"Boom!"

Carrot, Chopper, Pedro, and Becky all changed their outfits.

Belial didn't change his clothes much, only wearing a black shirt and pants. After all, the wanted poster showed his Ultraman form, and not many people recognized his human form.

As they approached the shore, everyone disembarked. Belial activated the underwater concealment device left by Torregia to hide the Thousand Sunny underwater and had Baymax guard it.

However, there's no need to worry too much. Torregia's underwater concealment device can change its internal environment, blending in with its surroundings like a chameleon and disappearing without a trace, so that the enemy won't be able to detect it.

After settling everything, the group set off for Cocoa Island.

Currently, in addition to gathering intelligence, the crew also needs to find food. After all, with someone like Luffy on the ship, there's no way they won't have enough food.

The group soon arrived at a small town, where there were many different kinds of people on the streets: humans, mink, fish-men, long-armed people, and so on.

"This place is quite magical."

"Where are we?" Beria asked.

"This is Chocolate Town," Beckmus replied.

Upon hearing this, Carrot exclaimed with delight, "Chocolate! I love chocolate the most!"

"Carrot, keep your voice down," Nami said.

Belial said, "It's alright, those guys from BIG.MOM probably don't know about Carrot's relationship with us."

“However…” Belial looked around, “I can smell a strong cocoa bean aroma, so intense.”

"Because everything here is made of chocolate," Beckmus said.

"Hmm? Chocolate? Can I eat it?"

“Of course you can.” Beckmus took off his glasses and said, “But you can’t just eat anything, like rooftops…”

"Why didn't you say so sooner?" Belial said.

"what happened?"

"Look," Belial said, pointing in a direction, leaving everyone completely bewildered.

Luffy, Carrot, and Chopper have gnawed a house to pieces, leaving only the foundation. The three of them, with their large bellies, sit on the ground looking blissfully happy.

"..."

Speechless expressions filled everyone's faces.

"Seriously," Belial said, then put on a mask and walked towards Luffy and the others. "Can't we just be okay?"

At this moment, a police officer walked over and said to the three men, "You have committed the crime of consuming usable buildings. I am now arresting you."

"Damn, I'm speechless." Belial said, "We shouldn't have expected these three guys to listen to us."

Just as Belial was about to disguise himself and take Luffy and his crew away, a woman's voice suddenly rang out:

"Sheriff, wait a minute."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl with long, dark yellow pigtails and wearing a light pink dress appear near the police chief.

Upon seeing the woman, Beckmus's eyes widened, and he said, "I'm going to gather intelligence. I'm leaving now."

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, the woman arrived.

"Sir, what are you..."

“It’s alright, Sheriff. I was going to tear this coffee shop down anyway, so this saves me a lot of trouble,” the girl said.

"really?"

"Yes, I'm so sorry to have troubled you to come all this way."

"It's alright, it's alright. In that case, Lady Brin, I'll be going now."

"See you."

The sheriff left, evacuating the nearby crowd.

Sitting on the ground, Luffy smiled and said, "Thank you."

Belial, standing nearby, looked at the woman warily and asked, "Who is she?"

Belial looked coldly at Pudding and said to the others, "Let's go take a look."

"it is good."

At this moment, Pudding said to the three of them, "Thank you for helping me clean the coffee shop. Would you like to come over to my place and try some of my other chocolates?"

"Great!" Luffy jumped up, and Chopper and Carrot laughed happily as well.

Belial was already a bit numb; Luffy's oblivious nature left him speechless.

"Oh right, I have some companions with me, can I bring them along?" Luffy asked.

"Really? Are there other people?" Pudding asked in surprise. "That's wonderful! I love entertaining guests."

"Thank you."

"Hey everyone, come here!" Chopper waved to the crowd and said, "Come on over here!"

"They've arrived." The group followed Brin towards her house.

The group sat on the sofa, some rolling their eyes as they watched Luffy, Chopper, and Carrot frantically gnawing at the wall.

"Just how much can you guys eat?" Nami asked.

“There are people here, can’t you be a little more polite?” Belial said, rubbing his forehead.

"I can't help it, this chocolate is just too delicious!" Luffy said while stuffing chocolate into his mouth.

"How many of you are..."

“It’s alright,” Pudding said gently. “I’m so happy that you like my chocolate.”

Looking at the lovely Brin, Brooke asked, "Miss Brin, may I see your underwear...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Nami punched him and sent him flying.

Belial continued to stare coldly at Pudding, who felt uneasy under his gaze and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Belial said, "Now that you know who we are, stop hiding it, Miss Charlotte Brin."

“Charlotte…” Nami’s pupils dilated sharply upon hearing the name. “You could be…”

After hearing this, Pudding sat down in a chair and calmly said, "That's right, I am Charlotte Pudding, my mother's daughter, and also Sanji's fiancée."

Upon hearing this, everyone except Belial stared at Pudding in shock.

"Just as I thought." Belial thought to himself. Just now, when Bekemus saw this woman coming, he ran away. It was obvious that she knew Bekemus.

In addition, according to intelligence gathered by Toregia from Bekmus and others, BIG.MOM's islands are managed by his own children.

The sheriff just called her Brin again, so Belial guesses that she is BIG.MOM's daughter.

Belial said, "Since you admit that you are Sanji's fiancée, then you should know our identities, right?"

"Yes."

Before he could finish speaking, Belial suddenly appeared in front of Pudding, startling her.

Belial pointed a small knife at Pudding and said, "So, should I kill you to silence you?"

"Don't kill me! I didn't mean any harm," Pudding said in terror. "I didn't tell Mom about you."

"really?"

"real."

Belial looked into Pudding's eyes and expression, put down his knife, and gazed at Pudding thoughtfully.

"Then why didn't you report it to BIG MOM?"

"Because I want to know your purpose."

"what?"
