"Sanji, join our pirate group."
At this moment, the blazing sun in the sky has just revealed a corner, spreading its warm light to the earth.
In a corridor outside the restaurant, Luffy is reaching out to Sanji, inviting him to join the Straw Hat Pirates again.
Sanji's eyes flickered a little. To be honest, he was still a little moved.
After a few days of processing, he also roughly understood the character of the Straw Hat Pirates, which was more in line with his taste.
However, old man, Sanji thought of Zeff, and after hesitating for a few seconds, he still shook his head and rejected Luffy.
"Why, don't you have any dreams that need to be fulfilled by going out to sea?"
Dream, Sanji took a puff of cigarette, and then exhaled.
"Of course, my dream is to find that legendary sea area, ALL BULE, and become the greatest chef in the world."
Speaking of this, his eyes seemed to be brighter.
"Then join my pirate group."
"I don't want to."
"Why, you want to find that sea called what, don't you have to go out to sea?"
"Tsk, although dreams are important, there are many other things that are also important besides dreams."
Sanji was speechless. Why is this guy so stubborn, and he keeps trying to get people to join.
The two of them talked like this, but they didn't know that there was a person standing on the roof, watching everything that was happening.
Zeff looked at Sanji, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes, and then he walked back to the restaurant as if he had made a decision.
While Sanji was not back, he gathered all the chefs together, and then colluded to start ostracizing Sanji, hoping to get him to leave here and join the Straw Hat Pirates.
However, the scripts of fate are always surprisingly similar. Zeff just overheard Luffy and Sanji's conversation, and now it's Sanji's turn to overhear their conversation.
Leaning against the wall weakly, Sanji lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. No one knew what he was thinking at the moment.
After a while, he pretended to know nothing and walked into the restaurant, then began to be excluded and quarreled by everyone.
Finally, he took his bag and walked to the front of the Merry under everyone's gaze.
"Let's go."
He said to Luffy.
"Don't you want to say hello?"
Luffy tilted his head and spoke calmly.
Lin Lai beside him also nodded.
"After all, if you want to meet again after leaving, I don't know when it will be."
Sanji tried to suppress the sadness in his heart, pretended to be calm on his face, and smiled.
"It's okay."
After saying that, he raised his foot to get on the ship.
"Sanji."
Suddenly, a voice came and reached Sanji's ears, making him stop.
"Don't catch a cold."
This familiar voice, on the second floor of the restaurant, Zeff was looking at Sanji's back with a smile on his face.
The familiar voice instantly broke Sanji's defense. He recalled the scenes that happened in the past in his mind. He bit his lips tightly to prevent himself from making any sound, but his eyes were already full of tears.
Finally, Sanji spoke with a choked voice, but he did not turn around, not wanting people to see him crying.
"Ah, of course, I'm not a child anymore, I can take care of myself."
After a pause, Sanji spoke slowly again.
"Old man, and everyone else, take care of your health."
"Asshole Sanji, do you need to tell me that?"
"Hey, don't let down the reputation of our battle restaurant when you go out."
"We will always pay attention to you. If you can't do it, I will beat you up."
...
Everyone responded, and Sanji had already boarded the Merry.
"What a touching scene."
Lin Lai watched this scene and sighed.
Nami beside him also nodded.
"Yeah, it's great."
Everything that happened here reminded her of her hometown, and at the same time made her secretly clench her fists.
"Wait, Aaron, I will knock you down with my own hands, and then rescue my family."
Looking at the silent Nami, Lin Lai standing next to her couldn't help but feel distressed. He also roughly guessed what Nami was thinking about now, and reached out and gently stroked her head.
"Don't worry, with us here, everything will be fine."
Feeling the warmth coming from her head, Nami's face was slightly red, but she didn't avoid Lin Lai's touch, and she felt an inexplicable sense of security in her heart.
"Yeah."
She hummed softly, yes, with Lin Lai and Luffy and other great partners, she is no longer alone like before, and everything will be fine.
"Yo, everyone, set sail."
Luffy laughed, in the rising sun, the Merry slowly set sail and headed for the next stop again.
Behind them, there were pairs of eyes watching them move forward.
...…
Time passed quickly, and it was already noon time.
On the deck, Luffy and Usopp were discussing what to eat.
In the corner next to them, Zoro was doing push-ups with weights on his back, training.
On the side, Lin Lai and Nami were sitting on chairs, discussing things.
"Nami, by the way, the next stop should be Cocosia Village."
"Yeah."
Nami nodded, and Luffy, who heard the conversation, also came over.
"Then we are going to defeat that fishman and save Nami's hometown."
Usopp asked curiously.
"Nami, what does a fishman look like?"
Luffy drooled.
"Fishmen, I don't know what the difference is between them and fish, can they be eaten?"
Nami was speechless listening to their discussion, but her expression was also a little solemn.
"Fishmen are much stronger than ordinary people, and they have both human and fish characteristics. Each of them can easily defeat dozens of ordinary people, and they can breathe freely in the water. Arlong is the best among them."
Usopp also looked solemn.
"It sounds like this is a very powerful race."
But Luffy was disappointed.
"In that case, fishmen can't be eaten."
What he cares about is eating.
Listening to everyone's discussion, Sanji also joined in.
"Fishman Arlong, I seem to have read in the newspaper that the bounty has reached 20 million Baileys."
20 million Baileys is indeed a lot in the East China Sea. Even Creek, who is known as the overlord of the East China Sea, only offers a bounty of 17 million Baileys.
However, there was no concern in his tone. After all, in his eyes, 17 million Creek was nothing special, and 20 million probably wouldn't be much stronger.
Even Sanji thought so, not to mention Luffy and others who had already experienced several simulations.
