Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

clap clap.

Bai Ye clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention, and said to Reiju:

"Now that you have heard the story, tell me why you are here."

"You came to see Sanji, probably not just to reminisce about the past."

Although Bai Ye could roughly guess something, he couldn't be sure, so he went straight to the point.

Hearing this, Reiju finally remembered the purpose of coming here.

She first looked at Sanji, and after he nodded, she told everyone her story.

Unlike the original work, because Sanji's true appearance appeared on the wanted poster at the beginning, Germa discovered Sanji's identity earlier.

After the Alabasta incident, Sanji's potential was noticed by Judge.

He also used his influence to have the World Government's bounty on Sanji stipulate that he must be captured alive.

No one else noticed this except Bai Ye and Robin.

But the latter did not delve into it further, after all, everyone has their own secrets.

Back to Germa, at that time, Judge only regarded Sanji as an dispensable bargaining chip.

Maybe it will be useful someday, maybe not.

This situation continued until the Battle of Marineford.

"After Sanji showed his ability to compete with the admiral in a short period of time in Marinford, my father changed his mind."

There was a hint of apology in Reiju's eyes when she looked at Sanji, and her voice began to tremble.

"You are no longer a chess piece that can be used at any time. Your own strength and the forces you belong to are already a threat to the existence of Germa."

"He has offered a 10 billion bounty for you in the underground world, and secretly funded a group of pirates who escaped to the New World. He wants to kill you before you fully grow up, and get your body for research."

...

"Is this kind of person really a father?"

Nami's face was full of disbelief. Although she only had an adoptive mother, Bell-mère was more than ten thousand times stronger than Sanji's father.

"If he is ready to kill his own son just because of a threat, that guy probably has no humanity left."

Robin gave his evaluation coldly.

What the two of them said also made others agree.

Sanji's so-called father is a complete jerk.

Even Bai Ye felt a little emotional. Although he had expected it, Judge's cruelty was still beyond his imagination.

Perhaps in the original work, Judge is a man who keeps his promise and is willing to lead his family to cover the evacuation of the Straw Hat Pirates.

But it still cannot cover up the fact that he is a cold-blooded father.

Everyone's attitude made Reiju very painful.

Because she couldn't refute it, not even a little bit.

At this time, Sanji put his hand on her shoulder and said slowly: "I am no longer his son, but you are still my sister."

Sanji's gentle words made Reiju unable to hold back her tears.

It took her a while to calm down and continue her story.

Despite the billion-dollar bounty, none of the underworld killers are fools.

He challenged the Straw Hat Pirates for a mere 10 billion.

The pirates in the New World were also wiped out during the three months that the Straw Hat Pirates rested.

But this not only did not make Judge retreat, but made him even more afraid of Sanji and the Straw Hat Pirates.

In order to completely get rid of Sanji, he thought of using political marriage to win over more powerful forces.

And the person he chose was one of the emperors of the new world, Big Mom Charlotte Linlin.

But it was from this time that things took a completely different turn than what Judge had expected.

"Father originally planned to marry you to Charlotte Brin, the 35th daughter of the Charlotte family."

Reiju tells the story:

"If you choose to fight, the Straw Hat Pirates and you will become the target of the Big Mom Pirates, and the potential threat of the Germa will disappear."

"If you choose to compromise, Germa will receive a powerful boost."

Just a few simple words made everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates look unhappy.

"You want to use us. Oh, then give it a try."

"Hyenas that attempt to snatch food from a fight between lions and tigers will become the first sacrifices."

Zoro was a ruthless man who didn't say much. He just slammed the Wado Ichimonji on the table in front of him.

The atmosphere in the box also became tense at this time.

"But the hyena miscalculated."

Bai Ye looked at Reiju at this time and said slowly: "It seems that the lion wants a better sacrifice."

"That's right." Reiju nodded and continued:

"Big Mom rejected her father's proposal and proposed a new marriage plan."

"I will marry the 10th daughter of the Charlotte family, Charlotte Cracker."

...

The atmosphere in the box became weird.

At this point, except for Luffy who had already fallen asleep, everyone else understood the whole story.

I also know why Reiju is sitting here.

"After my father rejected the marriage proposal, I thought the matter was over."

"But the Big Mom Pirates suddenly attacked Germa and captured us all."

"Big Mom seems to have suddenly started to care about Germa and decided to hold the wedding as soon as possible."

“And on the way to Cake Island, my father and other brothers helped me escape.”

"them..."

Having said this, Reiju suddenly hesitated.

She didn't dare to look Sanji in the eye, and finally spoke after a while:

"They asked me to come to you because only you can help me, and only the Straw Hat Pirates can save Germa."

...

The box fell into silence again.

Everyone once again lamented how thick-skinned and shameless Jiazhi was.

It was obvious that all the trouble was caused by him, but he was still so shameless to come to them for help.

The saying that a humble person is invincible is perfectly interpreted.

Feeling everyone's gazes, Reiju lowered her head deeply and grasped her skirt tightly with both hands.

She knew what her actions meant, letting an abandoned son save his father who wanted to kill him.

This in itself is a torture for Sanji, because he knows how kind his younger brother is.

She thought of other solutions.

But she discovered in despair that she had no hope except asking Sanji for help.

So after she learned that Sanji was also here, she hesitated for a long time, but still went to him.

"Why?" Robin's voice sounded again. She looked at Reiju and said, "If that's the case, why did you say those things? You know what this means."

This was indeed something Robin did not understand.

Since Reiju has already planned to ask Sanji for help, she can completely conceal everything that Judge had done before.

If we keep it secret, this matter will be much simpler.

"Because Sanji has the right to know the truth of everything."

After a long moment, Reiju raised her head and spoke slowly:

"He is my brother. I can't convince myself to lie to him."

"Even if it means losing hope."
