As the team worked together, Sanji noticed a mysterious man. He didn't know who he was, but he didn't let him escape. Sanji was stronger and easily blocked his way. When the old man tried to attack, Sanji fought back and defeated him. The man called for help, but Sanji took down the four pirates by himself. He also confronted the old man, making him feel pain but not hurting him too much. Sanji's fighting skills were impressive, and he showed his power in the intense battle.

Meanwhile, it was quiet as you locked eyes with the man with a braided mustache in the confined space of the cage. He broke the silence, sounding curious and confused. "Wait, you're a Boone Pirate? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be helping Phalyn and your captain?" His eyes focused on your tattoo, so you quickly covered it with your hands. You understood his question and replied, "Actually, I teamed up with the Straw Hat Pirates, and Buggy trapped me here." You explained my situation, hoping he would understand.

He gave you a puzzled look, clearly not grasping the meaning of your words. You noticed his confusion and quickly added, "It's a long story, so I can't really explain everything." You hoped he would understand.

But then, out of the blue, he asked, "Are you Sanji's lover?" His question caught you off guard, and you were taken aback by his directness. He noticed your reaction and simply smiled, seemingly amused by your surprise. "I can't believe that guy finally found someone after all those rejections. And from the way you fought, you were like a female version of Sanji. It was impressive," he remarked, causing your heart to flutter.

"When's the wedding?" he blurted out, and you couldn't help but find his timing odd, discussing your relationship with Sanji in the midst of battle.

However, to your surprise, Sanji made his way towards you, temporarily leaving Luffy behind as he struck an agreement to free you from the cage. "Sanji, what are you doing? You should be helping Luffy over there," you exclaimed, concerned about their safety. Sanji replied, "It's not my idea. Luffy insisted that I should get you out of here," his eyes then shifted to the man beside you. "Zeff!" he exclaimed, his face lighting up with recognition.

"You're here! Are you alright? Did the Boone Pirates hurt you?" Sanji asked, concern evident in his voice. The man let out a snort, as if he couldn't believe Sanji was asking about his well-being. "That's the first time I've heard you ask if I'm okay. You're changing, little eggplant," he said.

"Little eggplant?" you asked, curious about the nickname. Zeff chuckled and explained, "I used to call him that when he was just a young boy. It was a nickname I gave him for being a dumb little kid."

Sanji's face twisted into a frown, clearly disbelieving what Zeff had just said in front of you. "Shut up, Zeff," he snapped, his tone defensive. "You don't have to bring up that embarrassing nickname in front of my girlfriend."

"Anyway, I need to get you out of this damn cage as soon as possible. How the hell did you end up here with that clown's lousy tricks?" he asked you, his voice filled with a mix of confusion and frustration.

"Are you not gonna ask me why I ended up here too?" Zeff chimed in. Sanji shot him an annoyed look. "I don't care why you ended up there. It's pretty obvious that Buggy's pirates dragged you into this mess," he guessed. "Why don't you defend yourself?"

"I can't believe you. Are you forgetting that I'm getting old? I left my pirate days behind and built this floating restaurant. And I thought you were changing," he said, a hint of disappointment in his voice. "Changing because of this beautiful woman," he added, glancing in your direction. You couldn't help but smile, and Sanji's smile mirrored yours. "I'm gonna marry her, Zeff. No other man will ever steal her away from me," he declared with determination.

Buggy seemed distracted as Nami and Zoro continued their fight against him. And Phalyn proved to be a tough opponent, making it difficult for Luffy to defeat her. Finally, Sanji managed to open the cage, setting you free. You couldn't help but give him a tight hug, as if you had missed him already.

"These lovebirds, do that later," Zeff interrupted. "Fine, I'll join you in fighting these pirates. I know Boone already got his hands on the treasure I've cherished for years. But just look at him," he said, pointing towards the man in the distance. "He may act cruel, but he's too weak to even stand up properly. Age has caught up with him."

"What? That's Boone? Y/n's uncle?" Sanji's voice burst with surprise, his disbelief evident. "Y/n's uncle?" Zeff echoed, needing confirmation. You nodded, acknowledging that the old man struggling to stand up was indeed your uncle. The realization hung in the air, a mix of astonishment and curiosity swirling around the group.

Feeling empathetic towards you and the family connection, you felt compelled to approach him. But before you could take a step, Sanji gently grabbed your wrist, stopping you in your tracks. Confusion filled your eyes as you looked at him. "No," he said firmly. "We don't know how he might react after seeing you again." His serious expression made you hesitate, realizing that there might be more to the situation than meets the eye.

"Remember what Kenway told us about him?" Sanji asked, his words ringing in your ears. The mention of Kenway's words sparked even more curiosity about the kind of person your uncle truly was.

"Ready to go?" Sanji asked, his gesture inviting you to fight alongside him once again against Phalyn. "Remember, I've got your back, always protecting you," he reassured you, his words filled with unwavering support.

Summoning all your courage, you faced Phalyn head-on, determined to reclaim your stolen memories. With each step closer, you could feel the intensity building, the weight of the moment resting upon your shoulders. You positioned yourself, ready to confront Phalyn alone, fueled by the desire to retrieve what was rightfully yours.
