Vice Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates

Liam took two of them out of the room, leaving Luffy alone.

"Hey! Sanji, why did you get up? You need rest. Your body... has healed."

Chopper saw Sanji and immeidately shouted.

After all, Sanji was still covered with bandages, but when he ran over to Sanji to push him back, he realized that Sanji's wounds had healed.

"How did this happen??" Chopper asked in confusion.

"Well, you know how quickly Luffy heals, right?" Liam asked.

Chopper nodded and said.

"Because of his childhood training and his Devil Fruit, Luffy can heal faster than any normal person."

"Wait! I remember. You said Sanji had some kind of genes. I haven't tested it yet. Have they been awakened?"

Chopper remembered their conversation about Sanji's family. Even though he wasn't that interested, he did keep some of the information in mind and remembered it.

"Yeah! His Devil Fruit should have reacted to his physique and helped him awaken his genes."

Liam nodded and answered.

"Sanji-ya has genes?" Law asked while walking towards them.

"Yeah, I haven't told you. You must know them well. They are quite evil in North Blue." Liam chuckled as he remembered Law's obsession with Sora and Germa comics.

Law's expression darkened as he was reminded of his childhood reading those comics, but his expression returned to normal as he said.

"Germa! So, Sanji-ya is from Germa. But, why did he come from East Blue?"

"Well, you can ask him later. Anyway, I am taking them for training. Do you want to tag along?"

Liam asked.

Law's eyes lit up. He needed training, especially for his revenge, and if he wanted to make his place in this crew.

He was barely comparable to the weakest of the crew simply because he didn't know Haki.

"Of course!"

Law nodded, and four of them walked toward Sabody Island. Because most of the island was destroyed by their battle, many people had already left this place.

Only a few areas were still functioning normally.

Liam took them to an empty island. But he instantly sensed someone coming towards him.

He wasn't surprised when he saw this person.

Silvers Rayleigh!

"You are already healed up? No, you don't look injured at all."

Rayleigh couldn't help but feel suspicious after seeing Liam's condition.

In his eyes, Liam was weaker than Luffy but Liam ended up completely unharmed while Luffy was covered with bandages; it didn't make sense.

"I used my Devil Fruit." Liam waved his hand and said.

"Mr. Rayleigh, since you are here, why don't you give him some tips and tricks on Haki? My experience alone might not help him awaken Haki sooner."

Liam said while pointing at Law.

"Me? Did you bring them for training? Then, why don't you teach all of them at once?"

Rayleigh asked with confusion.

"Zoro, Sanji!"

Liam nodded at them while calling out their names.

The next moment, Zoro and Sanji released their Conqueror Haki at the same time. Because they had learned to control it, they didn't affect Trafalgar Law.

Suddenly, their Conqueror Haki clashed and merged, releasing even more pressure against Rayleigh.

It had such a powerful impact that Rayleigh had to release his Conqueror Haki to counter it.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Their conquer haki collided, creating a powerful sphere. One was green-yellow while the other was red.

Their collision didn't cause any damage to the surroundings and was suppressed by Rayleigh's conqueror.

But when it was suppressed, it started fighting back.

Sanji might not have that kind of Willpower, but Zoro was a beast when it came to Willpower.

He did consider himself third in the team, but he always hoped to compare with Liam. So, he didn't allow his Haki to stand down.

And because Zoro counterattacked, Sanji didn't want to be left behind. He gritted his teeth and continued releasing his Conqueror Haki.

Until their Haki collision was smashed together in mid-air and stopped.

"Wow! I didn't think you had so many Conqueror holders in your crew." Rayleigh genuinely looked surprised as he asked.

"Didn't your crew have them as well?" Liam chuckled and asked.

"Well, if you count Shanks in his childhood days. Hahaha! Young people are truly fearsome. So, you want to teach them Advanced Conqueror. But, do you think they are ready?"

Rayleigh laughed as he spoke, but at the end, his expression got serious.

"Sometimes we don't have a choice but to be ready for something. We just need to do it."

Liam said while pulling out some bandages from Sanji's body.

At this moment, his entire right arm had disappeared.

"Your hand!"

Rayleigh's eyes widened for a moment. He didn't feel it.

He didn't feel Liam's hand as if it didn't exist. Even when he used Observation Haki, he didn't find Liam's arm.

Sanji and Zoro became silent when they saw this. They knew Liam was disappearing.

This was just the beginning. Soon, his whole body would disappear.

On the other hand, Law realized just how serious the situation was. He even released his Room and tried scanning Liam.

But he didn't find Liam's arm.

"I was right. You guys knew about it."

Liam chuckled as he pulled out some of Sanji's extra bandages and started wrapping around what he could feel as an arm.

It existed, but only because he was a part of it.

After wrapping his hand with a bandage, Liam released his Conqueror Haki.

This time, it was intense.

It even had the potential of surpassing Rayleigh's Haki as it was capable of doing real damage to the surroundings.

"Come back!"

Liam growled.

A few seconds later, others felt his arm returning to his body.

"Wait? Haki works? Does that mean you can stop yourself disappearing with Haki?"

Sanji's eyes widened as he thought of the possibility of keeping Liam and asked.

Liam shook his head and said.

"My body is breaking apart. Once I completely disappear, it will turn into dust. I was able to influence my other body with my Willpower and knock him unconscious."

Only after he spoke, he realize that he said things that most people wouldn't understand.

But when he raised his head, except for Rayleigh, his crew's expression seemed quite normal.

"Aren't you?"

Sanji chuckled and said.

"When we gathered enough information, we had our hypothesis. Don't worry, Liam! Luffy has already made his decision."

Liam shook his head and said.

"I am not trying to be negative, Sanji, but my situation can't be fixed by anyone."

"Yeah, yeah, we know how you live one dimension above us and how we can't interfere with higher dimensions."

Zoro interrupted. His expression became serious as he continued.

"But we won't leave you behind in our journey, Liam. Our ride hasn't ended yet. Our dreams have not been accomplished yet. Until that day, we will be together and nothing can stop it."

"If it does, I will just cut it."

Hearing that, Liam froze and smiled.

He wrapped his arm around Zoro and said.

"Wow! You can also say sentimental things. Zoro, I was wrong about you. After becoming the World's Greatest Swordsman, you should definitely form a harem. You will succeed."

Hearing that, Sanji immediately pointed at himself with both of his thumbs and said.

"Liam, what about me? Me? Can I do it? Will I have a Harem?"

Liam paused. He walked up to Sanji and patted his shoulder.

"Sanji, if you ever find someone girl with a sad history, try not to attack like a simp but as a true gentleman. Then, you might have a chance."

Sanji froze. He pointed at Zoro and then pointed at himself. Then, he shouted.

"You are saying I am worse than this moss head. You must be mistaken, Liam. I am pretty sure you are delusional."

"Nah! Compared to Zoro, your luck with women is almost negative."

Liam shrugged his shoulders and continued.

"Anyway, let's not talk about that. You two need to be serious about this."

At this moment, one of the fleet members ran towards him.

"Vice Captain! Vice Captain!"

"Hey, hey, calm down! Tell me what happened."

Liam frowned, but he remained calm as he asked.

"Haaa! Hooo! We just got some news from East Blue. Germa Battleships are searching for Baratie."

Bang!

Suddenly, a powerful lightning burst out Sanji as he rushed in front of the crew member and asked.

"What did you say?"

"Sanji, calm down!"

Liam caught his hand before his lightning hand could hold the crew member, and said.

Only then did Sanji calm down enough. But he still looked angry.

"What about Baratie?"

"They have been hiding well, but Germa has sent a large number of Snail Ships to search for Baratie."

Hearing that, Liam cursed.

"Did Judge get his brain fried? How dare he provoke us?"

Suddenly, he paused and said.

"No, he does have a chance to provoke us. As long as he can use Sanji to create a relationship with Big Mom. He knows we have already offended Kaido. Now, he wants us to fight Big Mom."

"Considering their previous relationship, this might not be a normal attack but a strategic one."
