Chapter 372 Vergo
Vergo is the highest-ranking official of the Don Quixote Family, and his representative suit is "heart". He was ordered by Doflamingo to infiltrate the navy as an undercover agent, and later became the vice admiral and branch chief of the fifth branch of the Navy's Grand Line. During his time as an undercover agent in the navy, he had been passing on various intelligence to Doflamingo.
Even before Vergo was about to be killed by Law, he was still apologizing to Doflamingo, saying that he had failed him. So since Vergo was so loyal to Doflamingo and Doflamingo trusted him very much, why didn't he find a good devil fruit for Vergo to enhance his strength? Let me answer this question for you!
Vergo, nicknamed Ghost Bamboo, got his nickname because his weapon is a bamboo stick. When fighting, he will cover the stick with Armament Haki to increase his attack power. Vergo also possesses a powerful Armament Haki far beyond that of ordinary people, and he can also cover his entire body with Armament Haki to increase his attack and defense power. In addition to his powerful Armament Haki and superb stick skills, Vergo's physical skills are also extremely powerful.
In Punk Hazard, when Vergo was dealing with Law and Smoker, he showed us a feast of physical skills. Not only were his boxing and stick skills strong, but Vergo also learned some of the "Six Styles of the Navy" while undercover in the Navy. When facing Smoker, who was also a vice admiral, although Smoker also mastered the Armament Haki
He is also a user of the Nature-type Fruit ability, but when fighting Vergo, he was basically killed instantly by Vergo. And later when Vergo fought Law, it was Law who relied on the cutting effect of the "room" ability of the Surgery Fruit to cut Vergo in half. If it weren't for the cutting effect of "room", even Law, who already had the strength of a Seven Warlords of the Sea at that time, would definitely not be Vergo's opponent.
Judging from the above introduction to Vergo's strength and combat ability, even if Vergo does not have the power of the fruit, his strength is already strong enough. If he eats the power of the fruit, he will be invincible. Moreover, Doflamingo's mission for him is to go undercover in the navy.
If Vergo had a very powerful fruit when he first joined the navy, this might arouse suspicion. But if he became a navy and Doflamingo could no longer give him a devil fruit because there was no way to explain the origin of the fruit. He couldn't say that he picked it up on the roadside. He gained the ability of the fruit inexplicably, and it was a very good fruit ability, which would also arouse suspicion.
There is another most important reason, that is, devil fruits are not so easy to get. Even if there is a price, there is no market. It is very difficult to get a good devil fruit with money. If you don’t rely on the power of money, you can only rely on luck.
Think about how Blackbeard spent twenty years in the Whitebeard Pirates before he encountered the Dark-Dark Fruit, and you'll know how rare a good devil fruit is. Even the Flame-Flame Fruit that came later should have been obtained by Doflamingo accidentally, and it's impossible for him to have found it intentionally, because according to the legend, this thing is nowhere to be found.
The description of the Devil Fruit is that after the original ability user dies, the Devil Fruit will randomly attach itself to a certain fruit and then appear somewhere in the ocean. No matter which fruit it attaches itself to or where it appears, it is absolutely random and there is no pattern at all.
Sanji is the chef of the Straw Hat Pirates and one of the three main fighters in the group. Sanji was extremely powerful in the early plots and could handle any kind of enemy with ease. Two years after the end of the War of Marineford, everyone's strength has been greatly improved, especially Luffy and Zoro, but Sanji's improvement has not been very obvious. In the battle two years later, Sanji can even be described as being defeated repeatedly. Now let me tell you about Sanji's four shameful battles. In the battle with Vergo, he was even kicked and his bones were broken!
First time: Sanji vs Vergo
One Piece: Sanji's 4 shameful battles, and Sanji was kicked and his bones were broken in a one-on-one fight with Vergo!
Vergo is a general under Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. His Armament Haki has been cultivated to the pinnacle. In the Dressrosa arc, Vergo easily defeated Smoker. Sanji also fought with Vergo in the Dressrosa arc.
However, Sanji was always at a disadvantage, and kicking Vergo away several times did not cause any harm to him. Later, during a physical collision between Sanji and Vergo, Sanji was kicked and his bones were fractured. Fortunately, Sanji escaped unscathed in the end, because if the fight continued, Vergo might have broken his legs.
Second time: Sanji vs Doflamingo
One Piece: Sanji's 4 shameful battles, and Sanji was kicked and his bones were broken in a one-on-one fight with Vergo!
Doflamingo is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in One Piece. He also has the noble identity of a Celestial Dragon. Doflamingo had a conflict with Sanji of the Straw Hat Pirates in the Dressrosa arc. In order to save his men, Doflamingo chose to personally chase after Nami and others.
In order to protect his friends, Sanji chose to fight Doflamingo in the air. After a series of operations, Sanji failed to break Doflamingo's defense. Later, Sanji was hit by Doflamingo's five-colored line and lost his combat effectiveness. If Law had not appeared later, Sanji would have been buried in the sea.
The third time: Sanji vs Niji
One Piece: Sanji's 4 shameful battles, and Sanji was kicked and his bones were broken in a one-on-one fight with Vergo!
Niji is a new character that appears in the Big Mom arc. Like Sanji, he is a prince of the Germa Kingdom. Niji is also Sanji's second brother. In the Big Mom arc, Sanji was dissatisfied with Niji beating the maid for a trivial matter and chose to fight him.
But at this time, Sanji was obviously no match for Niji. In the subsequent duel, Sanji was beaten black and blue. It could even be described as having no ability to fight back. If Sanji wanted to defeat Niji, he probably had to wear combat clothes.
Fourth time: Sanji vs Judge
One Piece: Sanji's 4 shameful battles, and Sanji was kicked and his bones were broken in a one-on-one fight with Vergo!
Judge is the king of the Germa Kingdom. He is also Sanji's father. Judge's strength comes largely from Germa's technology, which is called a battle suit. Sanji and Judge have fought in Germa's territory.
But your father is still your father. No matter how hard Sanji tried, he could not defeat Judge during this period of time. In the end, Sanji was beaten away by Judge.
Looking back at Sanji's battles two years later, there was nothing outstanding about him. If he continues like this, he might be kicked out of the position of one of the three strongest forces in the Straw Hat Pirates. However, at the end of the Big Mom arc, Sanji obtained a combat suit, and Sanji's strength in the combat suit is estimated to have been greatly improved.
Vergo is one of the highest-ranking officers of the Donquixote family. He infiltrated the Marine Headquarters many years ago and became a vice admiral of the Marine Headquarters. He secretly worked for Doflamingo. Vergo is proficient in the Six Styles of the Navy, as well as Armament Haki and Observation Haki. Vergo is the first pirate to cover his entire body with Armament Haki, and his overall strength is strong.
