Baratie Restaurant
Sanju was looking at the sea while smoking and no one knew what she was currently thinking while showing a serious expression.
At this moment, Ethan walked out of the restaurant and walked over to Sanju and stood next to her.
She looked at him while releasing cigarette smoke from her mouth, "Aren't you supposed to take some rest?"
"I've had enough rest, I've been sleeping for four hours." Ethan smiled, his vitality was very high and he had regained most of his physical energy during this period of time.
"So, did you think carefully about the offer I proposed to you earlier?" Four hours ago, Ethan asked Sanju to join his crew, and he told her to think about it.
"As interesting as that offer sounds...I have to refuse. I owe the owner a debt that I cannot repay," these are the words she said in response to Ethan's offer four hours ago. But Ethan urged her to think about it more and gave her time to think about it.
Even after a long time Sanju did not answer Ethan's question, she was just looking at the sea and thinking deeply. She really wanted to go with Ethan because she felt very attracted to him, but thinking about the debt she owed to Zeff prevented her from doing so.
"Got any dream, Sanju?" Ethan asked getting her attention.
"Yeah, I got two that I want to achieve before I die." she said before she took a deep pull on her cigarette.
"Have you ever heard of the All Blue?" she asked. Ethan turned away from her and looked up to the sky and sighed before he replied.
"Yeah, I have," Ethan said surprising Sanju.
"It is said it is a mystical sea of legend, rumored to be the only place in the world where the North, South, East, and West seas meet. In this legendary ocean, it is said that there are fish from each of the four seas..from what I head it is the ultimate dream of every chef," Ethan said before looking back at Sanju to see her eyes were wide at the fact that Ethan had heard about the All Blue.
"Do you think it exists?" Sanju asked in a voice that sounded as though she was scared of the answer.
"Don't know," Ethan said making Sanju's mood drop a bit.
"However.." Ethan continued causing Sanju to look up at him with hopeful eyes.
".there is only one way to find out whether it exists or not," he said with a grin causing Sanju to grin alongside him.
"Guess there is only one way huh?" she asked rhetorically with a smirk on her face.
Ethan then turned around and looked out into the open sea with a smirk of his own and spoke. "Surely we have to travel all over the world to find the location of this sea, and most likely this sea is in the Grand Line. If you stay here, you will not be able to fulfill your dream. Why don't you come with me to turn this world upside down to look for it."
When Sanju looked at Ethan, she felt her heartbeat increase and she felt very drawn to him especially when she heard his last words.
She looked at Ethan's smile and asked curiously, "I told you about my dream, can you tell me about your dream?"
Ethan took a deep breath, and his gaze became sharp and his words were steady, "My dream is to become the strongest of all, to have the strength that makes all my enemies kneel in fear. I want to climb to the top of this world and beyond this world."
'Beyond this world.' Confusion appeared on Sanju's face.

At the same time.
In Arlong Park.
Lucy and the girls are standing in front of what appears to be some kind of swimming pool.
Surrounding they are numerous Fishmen and Nezumi. Sitting behind Nezumi is the leader of the Arlong Pirates, Arlong.
Nezumi is a slim dark-haired man with—appropriately enough for his name—a strongly mouse-like appearance. His eyes are constantly narrowed, while his facial hair consists of a thin goatee and six long, wire-like whiskers on his upper lip. His Marine uniform is heavily customized, with the standard cap converted into a mouse-eared cowl, connected to a buttoned-up greatcoat that reaches to his feet, accessorized with a belt and blue epaulets.
Arlong is a large, muscular, light blue saw-shark Fishman. He has long, black hair with a widow's peak reaching down to his shoulders, under a brown ushanka. He has a fin on his nape, surrounded by his hair, and the gills are located on both the sides of his neck. On the left side of his chest is the tattoo of the Fishman Pirates, while his own Jolly Roger is on his lower left arm.
He was sitting on a white lawn chair staring at Nami. "Nami, are you really going to treason me? Aren't you afraid of what I'm going to do to the villagers and your sister because of this treason?"
"Treason? I didn't think of myself as a part of your crew from the start. You just made me join your crew even though I didn't want to, and you were just using me to make maps for you." Nami yelled in anger, she really wanted to kill Arlong and tear him to pieces, he's the one who killed her adoptive mother she definitely won't forgive him.
