After escaping from the woods, the group soon saw the Vinsmoke Family heading towards the capital of the island.

"Sanji!" Luffy shouted, running towards them.

"Sanji!" Nami shouted, causing the brothers to look at her with hearts in their eyes.

"Why are they here?" Sanji said before Luffy jumped down before him.

"Hey!" Luffy shouted. "We came to get you, Sanji! Let's go home, Sanji." Luffy said before he was dealt a kick right to the stomach.

"Go home, you low-rent pirates." Sanji said as he approached with the guards. "My name is Vinsmoke Sanji...The Germa Kingdom's...Prince!" he said. "You...I'll come after you." he said as he and Luffy suddenly started to clash.

"Okay, would anyone care to explain...the HELL?!" Mermista asked.

"Oh right, You didn't know about Sanji's family because you just joined us." Hope said. "Sanji was, in truth, raised in the South Blue by the Vinsmoke's. They possess incredible technology and scientific advancements." he said before being dealt a kick by Yonji.

"Hey. I got the blue bug! Gotta be worth some points!" Yonji laughed.

"Ow.. shoulda seen that one coming." Hope said before being stomped on by Niji.

"Hey, stay on the ground, bug." Niji said.

"You all...you should know your place." Ichiji said.

"Says you." David said. "No one is allowed to interfere in this fight. That includes all of you, as well."

"The fight's only between our loser brother and his pathetic captain. You guys are fair game." Niji said.

"Well, then I guess it's no wonder Sanji is all messed up right now, if he has siblings like you pushing him around." David said.

"He's weak, we're strong. That's all there is. The weak are nothing but garbage to the strong." Ichiji said.

"The things you're saying. You don't even sound human!" Jexi said.

"Enough!" Judge said. "Don't you dare waste your time with them."

"Heh. He's right. They aren't worth our time." Niji said as the three brothers retreated.

"Are you okay, Hope? You're not injured, are you?" Ramona asked.

"Besides my pride, I'm okay to get up." Hope groaned. "I'll be honest, I deserved that."

Sanji and Luffy continued to fight before Luffy came to a halt. "I won't...I won't do it!"

"Then prepare yourself." Sanji said jumping into the air before dealing a devastating kick to Luffy's head, sending him tumbling down to the ground before going back to the Vinsmokes.

"Wait, Sanji!" Nami said walking up to him before slapping him. "Goodbye...sorry for causing you all this trouble."

"Let's go." Judge said as the family headed back off towards the capital.

"Wait! Sanji!" Luffy shouted. "You're only lying to yourself! That won't change, no matter how many times you kick me! The only one you're hurting is yourself! Our journey isn't over!" he shouted as Sanji was shedding tears as he walked off. "I'll be waiting here, until you come back! If you don't, I'll starve! Because you are my ship's cook! I won't eat anything unless it's cooked by you! Even if my stomach rumbles, come rain or shine...I'll be waiting for you! You have to come back, Sanji! Or else...I won't ever be King of the Pirates!"

"Is...he actually serious?" Inosuke said.

"Yeah...just proof how much he wants Sanji back." Jexi said.

"So we're just going to wait here? Out in the open?" Mermista asked.

"We have to...but they don't seem to be too keen on the idea." Zelos said as numerous chess soldiers marched towards their location.

"We have to hold this point, no matter what. We have to wait for Sanji." Hope said getting up.

"Hope…" Mark started, before he stopped himself. "No, Sanji will come. Of course he will...everyone, get these guys out of here!"

They raged against the chess soldiers coming at them in great numbers before a gun shot was heard in the air as standing in with reinforcements was Capone Bege.

"I really thought you were smarter than this, Straw Hat." Capone said.

"Capone!" Zephyr said.

"Look...get in the way and I will not be afraid to gun you all down." Capone said.

"We're not leaving!" Roxas said as Zephyr clashed with Capone in a shoot off.

"Not bad. But be honest...you just escaped the Woods right? You all really think you can keep this up forever?" Capone said.

"Dunno… but we sure as hell are gonna try if one of our friends is at stake!" Zephyr said.

"Heh. It's gonna take more than that." Capone said before turning his legs into tank treads. "I don't have time to waste here. You all are finished anyway." he said moving out as multiple chess soldiers arrived with a man in a festive looking outfit holding a large lollipop.

"Ugh… This guy." Petra said.

"Kukuku...Sorry to keep you all waiting, ladies and jellyspoons!" Perospero said.

"Who is this weirdo?" Zenitsu asked.

"Charlotte Perospero. The family's eldest son." Jexi said.

"Now...let's put an end to all this! Candy Wave!" Persopero said, sending a wave of liquid candy at them.

David used his Ice Breath on the wave that was being fired, freezing it solid.

"Hmm...that one will be trouble. Better trap him first. Candy Maiden!" Perospero said creating a large iron maiden made of candy and sending it at them.

"Fire Dragon's...Roar!" Natsu shouted, hitting the maiden as it melted.

"Huh. I'm impressed. You all are pretty feisty...no...I'm not actually." Perospero chuckled as a massive army came behind him led by multiple members of the family. "Either surrender...or die here. And trust me, there's a lot more than this."

"Guys… as much we wanna keep this up… I don't think we can fight Big Mom's entire army." Gemini said.

"Hate to admit it but...we can't keep this up forever. We're running on fumes as it is after going through that forest." Jexi said.

"Good point. Besides, we can always break out after we get captured." Natsu said as they stopped fighting as the family surrounded them.
