Sanji ultimately chose to stay.

On the other side, after enjoying a delicious meal, Link approached Zhepu to inquire about the news.

As a famous maritime restaurant in the East China Sea, with a wide variety of guests here, Zepu naturally knows a lot of information.

"News from Hawkeye?"

Zhepu looked at Link with some curiosity, guessing why the other party was looking for Hawkeye, and at the same time telling him the information he knew.

"There was indeed news half a month ago that some pirates saw Hawkeye appearing in the East China Sea. However, the whereabouts of the world's greatest swordsman have always been erratic, and no one knows his true location."

"I don't know if I can help you. All I know is that he last appeared in Rogge Town, and his whereabouts after that are unclear."

Link listened to Zhepu's story and nodded, knowing that the other party didn't know much.

But it was enough to hear that Hawkeye had appeared in Rogge Town. Then he talked about another thing.

"Captain Zepp, do you still have the idea of ​​heading to the Grand Line? If what I know is correct, your dream is the same as Sanji's, to find the legendary blue ocean ALL

BLUE right? "

Zep was stunned for a moment by Link's question, but then he showed a look of longing and regret, shook his head, laughed at himself, and wanted to refuse.

He didn't know what Link wanted to do, but he knew that he could no longer fulfill this wish. The wooden limb under his feet was his eternal injury.

However, before he could speak, Link interrupted him.

"Mr. Zhepu, please don't answer me in a hurry."

Link smiled at Zhepu, put his hand on his body, and said while activating his ability: "You treated us to a big meal. If that's the case, then I will also give you a gift."

During Link's movement, under the influence of his ability, Zhepu felt that the severed right leg under him began to feel itchy.

Then, in his shocked eyes, the wooden limb that originally replaced his right foot fell to the ground. Bundles of new flesh and blood and white bones grew, gradually forming a limb that he dreamed of rebuilding. Possessed feet.

"This, is this my foot?"

Zhepu looked at his newborn right foot with an expression of disbelief on his face, and his whole body was trembling, indicating the unrest in his heart.

"of course."

Link smiled in response.

His eyes widened, he looked at Link and then at his right foot. When the other party nodded in affirmation, he reached out tremblingly to touch his calf. The clear touch and reaction made him retract his hand as fast as lightning. Startled.

But soon he raised his right foot and moved, and the real feeling told him that all this was real.

The right foot he lost originally grew back thanks to Link's ability!

At this moment, his face showed an expression of excitement that he had not seen in many years. Not only him, but also Paddy, Carne, and Sanji beside him were also excited.

"Boss Zhepu, my God! Is this a miracle? Your right leg is intact again. The 'red-footed' Zhepu from back then is back!!!"

"Boss Zhepu!!! Wuwuwuwu, I didn't expect that I could see you intact for a day, boss. It's really touching!"

Paddy and Carne were crying and hugging each other with great excitement. They were even happier about Zhepu's recovery from his disability than he was himself.

"Ahhhhhh~ Old man, your feet, your feet are healed!!!"

Sanji's eyes widened even more, and he ran to Zhepu like crazy, holding his calf and looking around, his face full of shock and curiosity.

"Yes, my foot is healed."

Zhepu responded, feeling extremely touched at this moment.

He also finally knew why Link had asked him whether he still wanted to return to the Grand Line.

Because the other party knows his regrets and has done the miracle of making up for his regrets. This is an invitation to him.

"Thanks for your intervention, Link."

Zhepu's eyes changed when he looked at Link, and he responded solemnly.

After stepping on his intact right foot, he stood up with a hearty smile on his face. At this moment, his aura suddenly changed.

Although he was still wearing a white chef's uniform, his whole body no longer looked as slumped and old as before, and he became more upbeat.

His whole body exudes the confidence and relief of a strong man.

He reached out and touched Sanji's head, his eyes met Link's, shining brightly, "Didn't you ask me if I still want to pursue my dream? My answer is yes! I also want to set foot on the Grand Route." The sea, ride on it! Go find the legendary blue sea!"

Link smiled upon hearing this.

He had a very good impression of Zhepu, a man with chivalry, not only because of his cooking skills, but also because he was able to repent after becoming a pirate.

And taught disciples like Sanji.

"Then let me formally meet Link, the Death Omen Star of the Morning Star Family, the true owner of the Morning Star Chamber of Commerce."

Link extended his hand to Zhepu.

"Former pirate, Red-footed Zepp."

Zhepu shook hands with Link, looked at Link seriously and asked: "So Link, you helped me cure my disability, what do you want me to do? I don't think it's to let me go to the greatness again. Isn’t it that simple to find your dream by sailing?”

"It's okay if you think so."

Link shrugged and said, "After we leave, the Daystar Chamber of Commerce will take the initiative to contact you to help your restaurant become more famous, not just in the East China Sea, but in the Grand Line. Go and pursue your dreams."

........

Link and his friends left.

They did not stay long at the sea restaurant Barati, and Reiju also parted from Sanji reluctantly. She did not continue to follow Link but turned back to the Kingdom of Germa.

After having a bigger goal, Reiju hopes to grow up as soon as possible and replace Gaji as the queen of Germa.

But they all believed that they would meet again soon.

Because although old man Zhepu didn't know Link's purpose, they had already decided to sail Barati to the Grand Line, and truly worked towards becoming a restaurant with a reputation throughout the Grand Line as Link said.

Their separation will eventually meet on this sea.

After leaving Barati, Link continued to take Yamato and his party to Rogge Town.

What made him a little disappointed was that there was still no trace of Hawkeye here.

"I've also seen Rogge Town. Where should we go next Link?" On the streets of Rogge Town, Yamato asked him while eating the unique delicacies here.

"I didn't expect One Piece's execution rack to be anything special. It's not fun at all." Baby-5 complained.

"I told you a long time ago that there is nothing interesting here, but you still don't believe me." Luo said dissatisfied.

Others were chirping too, for them it was a trip.

Everything seemed relaxed and happy, but it was rare to feel warm.

Faced with their complaints and inquiries, Link smiled. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the CP agent who was watching their group in the dark and replied, "Next, let's go to Frost Moon Village."

"Frost Moon Village? A small village that I have never heard of. Is there anyone we want to see there, Link?"

Yamato asked confused.

Link thought of Koushiro and Zoro at Ishin Dojo and nodded, "There is a powerful swordsman there. If nothing unexpected happens, we will stay there for a while."

In Link's impression, Koushiro is a very mysterious and powerful swordsman, not only related to Long's revolutionary army.

In the plot, he also demonstrated the highest swordsmanship mentioned by Hana no Leopard Goro:

If you don't want to cut it, you can't even cut it off.

The Sword of Immortality!

Even though Link is now so powerful that he is confident that he can fight against the strongest in the new world, he knows that his strength lies in his abilities.

Really compared to those great swordsmen, his swordsmanship is far behind.

This is one of the reasons why he came to the East China Sea. In this place, which is the weakest sea in the eyes of outsiders, there are strong swordsmen like Hawkeye, Golden Lion, and Koushiro, who may help him become stronger in the swordsmanship.

This is also Link's realization after the battle in Xinuo Kingdom. His strength is not strong enough.

The use of abilities will always be resisted, and kendo is the martial arts that best suits him. Only when the shortcomings of kendo are made up can he truly be qualified to stand on the stage of the new world and compete with Kaido and Big Mom. A battle between peak warriors with inhuman physiques.

At the same time, I have to say that the battle in Xiunuo Kingdom still brought many gains to Link.

Although the great swordsman Yu Zhiliu died in that battle, his body was left behind. Link was not idle during this period.

With the help of ability manipulation, he learned a lot of kendo experience from the other party.

These experiences allowed him to further his growth in kendo.

Now that we can't find Hawkeye, let's meet the mysterious Isshin Dojo leader, Koushiro.

As for the clues about Lilith's life experience... World Government, Five Old Stars, I hope you won't disappoint me.

Feeling the gaze from the agent, Link thought this.

Frost Moon Village.

A small and inconspicuous village among the many villages and towns in the East China Sea.

However, on this day, their peace was broken, and people once again recalled the fear of being dominated by pirates!

Because a ferocious and terrifying giant steel ship appeared on the distant coast of Shuangyue Village!

This giant steel ship was so terrifying, far beyond any naval warship they had ever seen.

They watched in panic as the large ship with the skull and crossbones flag was approaching. People who had never seen such a large and powerful ship were shocked by this steel behemoth.

People on the beach rushed to tell each other, panicking and fearing the sudden appearance of this uninvited guest. They were worried that the powerful pirates on this giant ship would bring disaster to them.

In the Isshin Dojo!

"It's not good, it's not good! Master Koushiro, a huge pirate ship is coming outside, and the terrible pirates are coming to attack Shuoyue Village!"

"It's terrible, it's really terrible! I've never seen such a powerful ship!"

"That's a monster, a huge steel monster! That's definitely not an ordinary pirate ship! Master Koushiro, and Mr. Kozaburo, go and have a look!!!"

Because of the arrival of the Morning Star, Shuangyue Village fell into chaos.

They didn't know the flag of the Shichibukai. After seeing the terrifying battleship, they felt that the terrifying pirates were about to come and slaughter their Shuoyue Village.

Under such fear, they came to the strongest man in the village, Isshin Dojo, for help.

The exclamations from the people outside immediately attracted the attention of the kendo brats in the gym.

"What! Pirates are coming! Let's go and see Zoro!"

"Damn it! Pirates dare to attack our Shuangyue Village. I'm going to defeat them!"

"The pirates are here! The pirates have come to Shuoyue Village. What should we do? Master Koushiro, let's go and have a look!"

A group of kiddies were attracted by the exclamations of people outside, and the entire Yishin Dojo became noisy for a while, and they were about to run outside after a burst of noise.

"Stop for me!"

Suddenly there was a sharp sound, and Koushiro, who was wearing glasses and looked gentle, frowned with a headache as he looked at the kid who wanted to run to watch, "You all stay here obediently, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"

"Master Koushiro, stop talking and let's go take a look! The pirates are really coming. This time the pirates are different. Everyone is panicking!"

The anxious voices of the villagers outside came again.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Why are you panicking! Why are you panicking! If you know the pirates are coming, you should prepare yourself. Why are you panicking here?"

Koushiro listened to the villagers' cries and was about to comfort him when an old voice came from behind him.

A very old man walked out. He was obviously very old, but he was strong and strong. The bamboo sword in his hand made a "dong dong" sound when he struck it. The old voice was like a reassurance to calm down the panicked villagers.

"Mr. Kozaburo."

"Father!"

"Father."

As soon as the old man named Shigetsuki Kozaburo appeared, he calmed everyone down. He glanced at everyone, as if they had made a mistake, they did not dare to look at him.

"Okay, everyone, bring your weapons. Let's go to the port to see what the steel monster you call looks like!"

Under the greeting of the old man, the villagers who had a backbone dispersed in a hurry, and immediately hurriedly went home to pick up their own weapons.

"Father, you just need to stay in the dojo to rest before your illness heals. Everything here is mine!"

After the crowd dispersed, Koushiro frowned and looked at his father next to him worriedly.

"Hmph! I'm still going to die... I can't die! The pirates are here, and it's up to you to take care of everything! I remember when I was in Wano..."

The old man looked at the ignorant children in the dojo, and finally waved his hand and stopped talking about the past, "Forget it, let's take a walk and see if that pirate group is so bold and dares to come to our Shuoyue Village!"

Hearing this, Koushiro could only shake his head helplessly. The old man's supporting hand gathered the villagers of Shuangyue Village and a group of kiddies who seemed to be joining in the fun, forming a mighty tide of people and walking towards the port.
