While Sentomaru and Buggy's battle came to an end, Sanji's battle with his opponent had just started.
Zoro didn't continue making fun of Sanji and immediately rushed toward Shemale Agent while Sanji stayed behind to face Silent Agent.
"I thought you would choose to fight him." Silent Agent spoke. Unlike with Zoro, he seemed a bit more casual with Sanji.
It might have something to do with their attitude. Zoro was seen to be quite strict during his battles.
"It seems like you, CP agents, have gathered quite a lot of information about us, even to the point that I hate that moss head." Sanji chuckled as he asked.
Although he was injured in a previous battle, he wasn't worried about this battle. As long as this guy didn't use his weakness, he would have no problem facing him.
Silent Agent didn't reply to his question; instead, he coldly spoke.
"You didn't even ask your crewmate about my weakness, nor did you tell him your previous enemy. It seems your relationship with your crewmate isn't that strong."
Sanji shook his head and said.
"You are wrong. I don't need your information, nor does that moss head need his information. We can defeat you with our strength. Show me the true power of a CP0 agent."
As she said, Sanji's body turned into a lightning bolt and rushed toward the Silent Agent.
Although he was fast, his action was still captured by Silent Agent's observation haki, who was prepared enough to dodge the attack.
But while dodging the attack, he didn't stop preparing his attack. Several large wind slashes rushed toward Sanji, who had just landed on the ground.
Seeing those slashes, he released a bolt of lightning from his kick and destroyed all of them.
'Interesting! His Devil Fruit should be Kaze Kaze No Mi. It acts like Wind Devil Fruit, but it is more related to Steam. I read about his devil fruit in the encyclopedia.'
'If I am not wrong, the user can not only manipulate hot and cold air but also control lightning like Nami-san. Using lightning against a lightning devil fruit user, he shouldn't be that stupid.'
Sanji thought to himself while rushing into the air.
When he appeared above Silent Agent, he kicked straight down, releasing a massive bolt of lightning.
[El Thor]
The column of lightning was almost as big as a house, and its destructive power was strong enough to pierce the surface of the island.
When Sanji turned his head down to watch the situation, the corner of his lips rose.
'Interesting!'
Underneath, there was a massive ice dome blocking. Inside, it was the Silent Agent.
He used this trick to dodge the lightning strike when he realized he couldn't dodge the lightning completely without suffering damage from that attack.
While the Agent seemed quite chill with his posture, his hands were trembling. That's also why he didn't immediately leave this place.
"This guy was able to cool air down to the point where he could create ice. It looked like a mini version of Ice Fruit, but that is the power he shouldn't be able to manipulate at will."
"Let's see how durable his ice shell is."
[Ramen Strike]
Sanji spun in mid-air and threw a kick downward. When he threw the kick, he released a large bolt of lightning from his foot.
This lightning turned into a noodle shape as it moved down. But lightning was lightning. Even though it was shaped like a noodle, instead of wrapping the ice shell, it started attacking it.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The power of the lightning noodle was quite strong as it managed to break apart the ice shell, but it could not reach Silent Agent.
It was destroyed by multi-directional wind slashes.
After destroying the lightning noodle, Silent Agent's Observation Haki gave him a strong warning. He instantly used Soru and jumped several meters away.
Bang!
Another bolt of lightning struck the place he was in.
Once again, the Silent Agent sensed another attack and jumped away.
Like the previous time, the lightning did strike that place, but it didn't disperse there.
Instead, it flowed after the Silent Agent.
Silent Agent knew this was Sanji, so he coated his fists with Armament Haki and punched forward.
Boom!
A lightning-coated leg and an Armament Haki-coated fist collided in the middle, creating a powerful blast of shockwave that sent everything flying.
The air trembled as Sanji started spinning himself in mid-air.
Because Sanji was creating too much friction with his spin, the Silent Agent had no choice but to retreat.
Seeing this, Sanji chased after him. His blue lightning had turned red, giving him an even greater level of heat to his foot.
This made Silent Agent realize that he might not be able to contend with Sanji with just his Armament Haki. He took a deep breath and mobilized hot steam into his fist.
Then, both charged forward. Both used everything in their arsenal that could increase the power of their attacks as they struck at each other.
Fist VS Leg!
Two body parts collided, creating another powerful explosive shockwave. The lightning scattered, and the heat melted the ground.
Although Silent Agent's Steam was good, it wasn't strong enough to block the heat from Sanji's lightning bolt.
Not only did the lightning bolt itself have a high temperature, but it was later raised by Sanji's lightning.
Because of this, Silent Agent had no choice but to increase the potency of his Armament Haki.
Although Sanji was overall stronger than him, he did have one major advantage.
He had years of training, cruel CP agent training. It had helped him improve his Armament Haki and Observation Haki to a ridiculous level.
Even if he couldn't use Advanced Forms, it was formidable enough to fight enemies stronger than Vice Admirals.
Normal Vice Admirals, of course!
No one would be stupid enough to count Garp.
Bang! Thud! Thud!
Upon breaking the lock in their collision, both retreated several meters away from each other, falling heavily on the ground on their backs.
Sanji quickly turned into lightning and stood up while the Silent Agent simply jumped onto his legs.
"You are very strong. Even though we tried not to underestimate you, we even tried to overestimate you guys, not realizing we were still looking down on you. Can you tell me why?"
Silent Agent asked, as his tone sounded a bit complicated.
Sanji smirked and suddenly, Silent's eyes narrowed inside his mask. He didn't even notice Sanji using his lightning on him.
When he pressed his hand inside his coat, he took out an unconscious and broken transponder snail.
"Sure enough, Liam was right. You CP agents have been trained with such brutality and ruthlessness that you have forgotten you were once a human."
Sanji's expression looked a bit complicated but extremely ugly when he continued speaking.
"I don't take pity on your fate. After all, there are many people whose fates are even worse than yours. And, I will give you a proper death."
"But before that, I will give you the answer to your question. You want to know why we are always ahead of others? The answer is simple."
"We are guided by someone who might not have the powers of a god, but he has the perception of a god."
"What does that mean? He knows everything he needs to know. Everything, including Gorosei, Holy Knights, and even the supreme ruler of the world. But they don't know that."
"You know something funny? Even without him, the Straw Hats would still come out on top. Yeah, we might lose some important people, but World Government will still fall."
"Even though we are not guided directly by someone with God's Perspective. Can you imagine us losing? I can't. I have to be stupid enough, weak enough, and not daring enough to lose this winning battle."
"And while our Captain might not be bright, he isn't stupid either. We are not the strongest, but we are not weak either. And, we are the most daring crew in the world."
"Do you know why? Even if Luffy just had the strength of a Supernova, he would still punch a Celestial Dragon. That's our Captain, and he will become the King of the Pirates."
"Now, it's time to send you off!"
Sanji said as the red lightning began to spiral around him.
Seeing this and hearing his words, Silent Agent remained silent for quite a while.
He was still digesting all of this information. To be exact, it almost fried his brain; he was taught to digest everything.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be serving the Celestial Dragon.
"I am surprised. No, I am shocked. But you made one mistake, Cook of the Straw Hat Pirates."
At this moment, Silent's Agent's body began to turn red. The clothes were torn apart as his body grew in size.
His eyes showed a murderous look as he roared.
