East Blue – Conomi Islands
Arlong Park
A few minutes before the building collapsed, more specifically at the same moment Zoro's fight began, Sanji, holding a cigarette between two fingers, flicks it away before disappearing using Soru, shooting at full speed toward Kuroobi.
When he gets close enough, Sanji jumps, and without grabbing onto anything, he delivers a flying knee strike coated with Armament Haki at Kuroobi, aiming for his head.
Noticing the attack coming toward him at the last second, Kuroobi tries to dodge, pulling back, and fails spectacularly. The knee strike then connects with his nose, breaking it with a nauseating snap, causing his head to fly backward as his nose gushes blood.
Spinning in the air, Kuroobi lands on his feet, shaking his head as he tries to shake off the sudden disorientation that was inflicted on him.
What follows after he regains his bearings is, at the very least, shameful for Kuroobi. No matter how many blows he threw, how hard he struck, or how fast he attacked Sanji, the Straw Hats' cook simply dodged everything, punishing him with kicks every time he missed an attack.
"Urgggghh! You filthy inferior human, stop just dodging and fight me head-on!", Kuroobi yells in frustration at not having landed even a single hit on Sanji yet.
"In my view, you're the weakling here! I don't know if you've noticed, but I'm basically playing with you", Sanji says, easily dodging a punch before sending Kuroobi flying with a Spartan kick to the chest.
"Ahhhhhh! Shut up, you despicable worm! Stop wasting my time and fight me head-on!", Kuroobi yells, boiling with rage, charging at Sanji using his own version of Soru.
As he charges toward Sanji, Kuroobi quickly makes a grabbing motion with both hands, and then the water in the atmosphere rapidly condenses into droplets at his fingertips.
He then hurls the water droplets at Sanji with all his strength while shouting, "Gyojin Karate: Yabusame!!"
Seeing the massive amount of water bullets coming toward him, Sanji, instead of retreating to protect himself, charges forward, easily dodging each water bullet that came his way using his Observation Haki.
Passing through the wall of water bullets, Sanji continues advancing toward Kuroobi, delivering a Spartan kick to his chest without giving him the slightest chance to strike back.
Skidding backward, Kuroobi can barely stop his movement before Sanji is once again in front of him.
Appearing in front of Kuroobi, wasting no time, Sanji quickly turns his back and delivers a powerful 'Collier Frit' aimed at his neck, sending him flying away like an out-of-control missile.
Crashing into and through the wall of Arlong Park, Kuroobi, all scratched up and disheveled, comes back through the hole in the wall after a while, visibly tired and in pain, especially in his neck, where he had just taken the kick.
"I have to admit, you're strong, human, even though you're from an inferior species! You must have trained your whole life to get like this, right?", Kuroobi asks while massaging his sore neck, at the spot where a completely black bruise was.
"One week", Sanji says, taking his pack of cigarettes from his pocket before lighting one and taking a drag.
"What?", Kuroobi asks, confused.
"I trained for a week to reach this level, and I didn't even come close to giving it my all in this fight, you have to understand that, whether you like it or not, someone's species, in the end, doesn't mean shit when it comes to a fight", Sanji says, blowing smoke from the corner of his mouth.
"You filthy worm", Kuroobi mutters, irritated by the shameless presumption of the human in front of him.
"You know! You're right about one thing, I'm wasting too much time to bring you down, it's better to just finish you off right now!", Sanji says, with his legs, coated in Haki, bursting into hellfire as soon as he finishes speaking.
Trying one last desperate strike, Kuroobi charges at Sanji, gathering a ball of water around his fist, delivering a powerful punch while shouting at the top of his lungs, "Gyojin Karate: Vagabond Drill!!!"
Sanji then throws his cigarette away before disappearing from where he was, leaving behind charred black footprints wherever he passed.
And then, meeting Kuroobi's attack halfway, Sanji's kick, wrapped in a mass of hellish flames, quickly evaporates the ball of water around his fist the moment they make contact.
"Diable Jambe: Brochette de Barbecue", Sanji says calmly as a gigantic explosion of scalding flames engulfs Kuroobi completely, sending him flying backward like a missile, his trail painted with yellow and red flames before he crashes through a large rock that was part of the artificial waterfall in Arlong Park's pool, forming a huge cloud of dust with the impact, extinguishing the flames that had been fiercely burning his now unconscious body.
Lighting up another cigarette, Sanji mutters as he takes a drag, "Two almost whole cigarettes thrown away, what a fucking waste!"
And then, he suddenly hears Luffy's voice coming from the sky, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Gomu Gomu no Atomic Punch."
And in the next moment, he hears, for a second, a loud "Ziummmmmm" of something falling from the sky at supersonic speed, which could easily be heard throughout the entire island, before then feeling a gigantic crash of something colliding with the ground, shaking the whole island.
Looking around after the dust from the collapsed building dissipates, he sees the girls' fights coming to an end before his gaze settles on the moss-head idiot, blood-soaked, sitting on the ground. "How pathetic! You got hurt by a fucking weakling."
