Pirates: Flash Pirates

Chapter 57

At night, the moon and stars are rare.

The wooden stick on Zhepu's leg was tapping on the stairs climbing to the top of the restaurant. He slowly walked to Sanji who was lying on the railing and looking at the sky, put his hands behind his back, coughed, and said in a low voice:

"Are you ready to leave? Sanji."

Sanji did not answer directly, but said something irrelevant:

"Old man, tell me, how can there be people who trust others so much based on their feelings? Ace really didn't move at all when he was attacked today. I think he believes that Baze and I will be able to deal with the enemies behind him." .”

With his right hand resting on the railing, Zhepu turned around with difficulty, his fat upper body piled up on the railing.He first sighed comfortably, his eyes flashed with a bright light, and said:

"Speaking of which, this is also the first time I've seen someone like Ace: Once he recognizes you as a friend or companion, he will trust you without reservation."

Sanji stretched his eyebrows, his face peacefully immersed in memories.

In a violent storm, eight-year-old Sanji was reading in the corner of the kitchen. The lamp above his head was flickering, causing Sanji, who couldn't concentrate on reading, to frown slightly.

"Run! The Chef Pirates are coming! It's Redfoot Zapp! Ah!"

After the last scream, the whole ship fell into a deathly silence.

Sanji hugged the books on his chest tightly, and squeezed his body to the cabin behind him, his eyes were fixed on the kitchen door.

"Squeak~"

A man with a strong figure and yellow hair in full bloom came in, with two braids on his lips and a beard, he walked up to Sanji, looked down at Sanji who was trembling all over, and made a sound like pig iron friction. sound.

"Little ghost, what are you looking at, have you even forgotten to run away?"

Sanji timidly said, "The legend of AllAll Blue."

"Oh? Do people still believe in such legends? You're such a young brat, you can believe whatever others say."

Sanji stood up immediately, and refuted loudly: "All Blue must exist! You are not allowed to say it like that! This is my childhood dream!"

After Sanji finished speaking, he noticed that the face of the man opposite was getting more and more gloomy, and he trembled suddenly, holding the book tightly in his right hand, lowering his head in cold sweat, but saw a pair of blood-stained shoes.

Sanji swallowed hard, and subconsciously retreated slowly.

"Looks like you've realized who I am, kid! I'm Redfoot Zapp, the captain of the Chef Pirates. Now, if you have the guts, repeat what you just said."

Sanji raised his head suddenly, and after twitching the corners of his mouth, he closed his eyes and shouted: "Just say it! ALL Blue must exist!"

"Snapped!"

Sanji shook his body subconsciously, and touched his face and body with his left hand, only to find that his body was fine.

Zhepu withdrew his right foot that had kicked his crew in the face, and said grimly, "How many times have I told you that you are only allowed to rob treasure, not food."

The other crew members quickly joked:
"Haha, Captain, look at this kid, he actually said that All Blue exists."

"The captain tell him quickly, we have sailed on the great route for a year and haven't found it yet!"

"Continue to dream in this peaceful East China Sea, haha!"

Sanji gritted his teeth, with an expression of disbelief, obviously he didn't take what the pirates said to heart.

Zapp squinted at Sanji, but said nothing.

Suddenly a pirate ran up to the door of the kitchen, and he said anxiously: "Captain, it's not good, the storm is too strong, let's go!"

As soon as the words fell, the kitchen was already filled with sea water, and everyone was swept out, and then slowly sank into the deep sea.

Zapp frowned in the water, the wreckage of the ship to his left and right.He shook the unconscious Sanji in his hand, then went to the sunken ship and kicked off the main mast, holding it to the surface of the water.

After an unknown amount of time, Sanji woke up and found himself lying on a rock.

Zhepu turned his back to Sanji and said, "Little ghost, are you awake? You're lucky. I thought the lone souls from those two boats would drag you into the water and drown you."

Sanji was shocked and shouted: "It's all your fault! If you didn't come to snatch the treasure, both ships should be fine."

"Who knows? Kid, quickly disappear in front of me, there is nothing on this rock, and"

Zhepu stood up and looked down along the edge of the reef. The stone wall more than ten meters high was washed away. He continued:

"Besides, the fish in the sea can't be counted on. As long as you go down, you can't come up again. It doesn't look like there are people living around, so you can only rely on luck to wait for someone to rescue you here."

Sanji asked a little dizzily, "What if no one comes to rescue?"

"Hey hey, good question. You can see if there are any human bones behind the rocks, maybe you can understand in advance the tragic situation after being starved to death!"

"Okay, brat, go to the stone to see the boat! Hurry up and get out of my sight, and be careful that I will eat you as a reserve food!"

Sanji wiped his nose with the back of his hand, stood up and said, "Just go, what's the air?" After speaking, he turned around and prepared to climb over some steep stones.

"Hey, boy, here you are!"

Sanji turned around subconsciously, and suddenly bumped into a small package in his arms. He looked at Zhepu inexplicably, holding the package in both hands, not knowing what to do next.

"This is food for you. I'm kind enough to show you the wages of the ship. If you save some food, you should be able to eat it for half a month."

Only then did Sanji understand, but he looked at Zhepu's big burden that was as tall as a person, touched his own small parcel, and said angrily:
"Thank you for your kindness, great pirate. Don't overwhelm you with so much food."

Zhepu's face was suddenly clouded, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Little ghost, say it again, believe it or not, I really left you as food!"

Startled by his expression, Sanji hurriedly ran to the rock and slid down from the other side.

Zhepu yelled: "Smelly brat! Don't come here if you have nothing to do. Don't shout if you don't have a boat. Save your energy! Got it?"

Sanji sat on the other side of the stone, curled his lips, did not reply, thinking to himself:

【I won't talk to you!The stinky pirate, relying on his powerful legs, can do whatever he wants.snort!I will definitely live, my dream has not yet come true! 】

In this way, time passed day by day. No. 80 days.

Sanji sat on the spot with a haggard figure. He had eaten up his food more than a month ago. Now thinking of those moldy and rotten food, he still has some stomach pains.

[I will never waste food in the future. Is it because I dumped too much leftovers before that this kind of retribution is the result. 】

[I'm so hungry, I really want to eat, I don't want to eat dirt anymore.That smelly pirate has so much food, there should be some left, right?I'll go and have a look, but I have to be on guard against him really attacking me. 】

Sanji picked up a sharp stone from his side, lay on the stone, and moved up inch by inch.After a long time, he finally reached the top of the rock and saw Zhepu sitting on the edge of the reef.

He didn't know if it was because he was dizzy from hunger, but he felt that the big baggage beside Zhepu hadn't changed.He shook his head, trying to get rid of this unrealistic thought.

【Impossible it won't change for so long!However, there should still be food, I will quietly take a little, so I can't be found! 】

Sanji wriggled his dry throat, crawled to the side of the big burden with hands and feet, and bit by bit tore open the white cloth of the burden with the tip of the stone.

"jingle jingle"

A large pile of glittering treasure flowed out from the gap in the burden, which made Sanji's head hurt even more.

[What. What's going on! ?Why are they all treasures?What about the food! ? 】

Zhepu, who was as thin as a man, slowly opened his eyes, and said weakly, "Is the boat coming?"

Sanji covered his eyes with his hands, blocking the light from the treasure, and shouted angrily: "Smelly pirate! What are you doing with so much treasure? Where is the food? Where is the most important food?"

Zhepu laughed "hehe", his voice was like a deflated rubber ball.

Sanji grabbed Zhepu's clothes and stood up, shouting, "What are you laughing at! You obviously have such a big bag of food, why did it all become like this?"

Sanji paused as he tore Zhepu's clothes, and suddenly an unrealistic guess came to his mind. .

Zhepu coughed twice, and laughed at himself: "A pirate with so many treasures is going to starve to death here. Do you think it's funny, brat?"

Sanji trembled his lips, and asked in disbelief: "My food is all food, and you only have treasure here!?"

"Yes."

"Liar, you liar, you starved to death long ago without food, how did you live until now?" Sanji moved in front of Zhepu, and was about to expose Zhepu's lie, when he suddenly found that Zhepu's right foot came from his knee The following are all gone.

"Where's your right foot? Could it be?"

"That's right. When I was separated from you, I took advantage of the amount of meat at that time and smashed it. Now that I think about it, I'm really smart, otherwise I don't have much meat at this time."

Zhepu couldn't hold his sitting position any longer, and his body fell lightly to the ground, his empty right trouser leg whimpering with the wind.Compared with the tall and stalwart figure before the storm, Zhepu now looks more like an old man in his dying years.

Sanji suddenly let go of the stone in his hand, knelt beside Zhepu, widened his eyes, and shouted in an unusually sharp voice: "Why? You and I just met, why?"

"Because you and I have the same dream. Although my partners don't believe in the existence of ALL Blue, I still feel that it is somewhere on the great route."

As if struck by lightning, Sanji said with a trembling voice, "Just because of this!? Just because of this!? What kind of pirate are you!? Why are you doing such unnecessary things!?"

"Hey, cough, don't you care about me? Anyway, my partners are dead, and my right foot is gone, so I can't be a pirate anymore. Speaking of which, I've had enough of not being able to eat at sea. It’s painful, and every time I’m hungry, I think, if only there was a restaurant on the sea. If I can survive this time, I must work hard for this dream.”

As Zhepu spoke, his voice became softer, and his eyes gradually became unable to open.

Sanji shook Zhepu, who was half dead, his eyes were red, but it was because of the extreme lack of water that he couldn't shed tears, and instead he was in abnormal pain.He cried out in a tearful tone:

"Enough is enough, you self-willed guy! Smelly old man! You can't just die! Hey! By the way, don't you want to open a restaurant? I will help you when the time comes!"

Zhepu tilted his head slightly, raised his upper eyelids to look at Sanji, and said, "Just you? You look so thin that you can't even beat an ordinary pirate, right? Brat, don't even think about getting involved with me. "

"I'm going to be strong, old man! And my cooking is delicious!"

"Don't talk big, I'm the captain of the Chef Pirates, all of them are chefs, none of them are as delicious as my cooking, hu-hu, you are still far behind."

"I can learn, old man! And I will surpass you soon!"

"Hey-hey-hoo-hoo, brat, I'll sleep for a while before arguing with you!"

"Hey! Can't sleep! Smelly old man! Smelly old man!"

"Woo~"

"The boat is coming! The boat is coming! Smelly old man! Hey! There are people here! Hey! Come quickly! Someone here is dying! Come here quickly! Please!"

Sanji put away his memories, wiped the corners of his eyes, turned to look at Zhepu, his eyes were washed very clear by the tears just now, he said with a smile:

"I'm different from you. This is the second time I've seen it. The first time was when I was about to starve to death."

Zhepu turned his head in doubt, and saw Sanji's eyes full of admiration, and immediately reacted, then turned his head to the other side, and two red clouds appeared on his fat square face.

He cupped his braided beard with both hands, and said in an incongruous way: "When and when, why don't I know."

Sanji turned to Zhepu a long time ago, looked at Zhepu with a smile on his face, and teased: "Yoyo, the old man is blushing, hahaha! What's going on? Tell me and listen."

"Damn! You brat, you kicked with a prosthetic leg!"

"Ah! Old man, why did you kick me!"

"Hmph, experience it for yourself, brat!"

"Old man!"

Sanji stopped Zhepu who was about to go down the cabin roof, knelt down on the ground, and slammed his head in front of Zhepu. His head was pressed against the board, tears kept dripping, and he said loudly:
"Thank you so much for taking care of me all these years!"

Zhepu turned his head, was silent for a while, and then walked on, "What a worry-free brat, don't be hungry when you go out by yourself!"

"Yes!" Sanji replied with a crying voice.

"clack clack"

The chefs, headed by Paddy and Karnier, gathered in the shadow behind the stairs, covered their mouths with their hands, and tried their best to make the sound of tears hitting the wooden boards mixed with the sound of the prosthetic legs touching the stairs.

Zhepu sensed the breath behind the stairs, and did not say anything, tears also fell down.But, no one can see it, and no one can hear it.

Meanwhile, Bates, in a hammock on a merchant ship, is having a dream full of memories.

At the terminal station of the uncertain objects in the Goa Kingdom, a thin and bruised man lay on the garbage dump, muttering:

"Why can't people who don't steal or grab food get food? Everyone is living so hard, why do they want to plunder each other even more brutally?"

"Maybe, this is the darkness."

The thin man opened his bruised eyes and saw a vague figure wearing a cloak under the garbage pile.He was about to turn over and go down, but his waist hurt, and he rolled directly from the garbage pile, and his head landed right under the cloaked man's feet.

"who are you?"

The man in the cloak said softly, "Me? You can call me Noah. What about you? What's your name?"

"My name doesn't matter, it's just trash in this dump."

"I don't think so. Everyone's name has its meaning. It cannot be collectively referred to by words like 'garbage'."

"Okay, whatever you want, I'm Bates." The thin man named Bates wanted to wave away the man named Noah, but his right hand was so sore that he could only swipe the ground twice.

"Baze, why don't you go after the people who snatched your food?"

Baez snorted, and said with some annoyance:
"I don't know, maybe I'm too tired to chase after him. If he snatches it away, at least one of us won't starve to death. I'll go find food elsewhere later."

Noah smiled slightly, bent down, stretched out his right hand, and a few strands of golden hair fell out of the cloak with light.He said: "Come and change this place with me, so that this place is no longer a dark place."

Baze looked at Noah's shining blond hair, and couldn't help feeling a sense of trust in his heart.He raised his right hand to hold it, but found that the white glove on Noah's hand was too clean, his hand just stopped in the air, and a few pieces of black mud fell from his hand and hit his face.

Noah grabbed Baez's right hand, and said in a warm and firm tone: "Then it's settled! We will definitely be able to pass on the kindness in our hearts to other people. By then, this dark place will no longer be exists!"

One day, at the Flash Pirates.

The entire Nova is shrouded in a light red domineering look. The little angel at the bow of Nova is flapping its wings, and the wheels on both sides are also turning at a normal speed.

"Blood"

Robin trudged back to the cabin and came out with the phone bug.

Heath waved the big iron and said with a smile: "The phone bug was still dizzy before, and now it can finally move normally."

Huck, who was squatting with a load on his back, continued: "And its appetite has grown a lot recently."

Heath thought for a while, and then said: "Will it also exercise its armed domineering one day?"

Everyone who was exercising under Hiss' domineering look rolled their eyes together and complained together:

"It will!" x 8
Heath laughed, put down the iron in his hand, took the phone bug, and said:

"This is Hiss, who are you?"

"Ah, Heath, I'm Ace! I'm on the great route now! I just came down from the inverted mountain and saw the big whale jumping out of the sea, so I knew it was you who made it."

"Oh~ Ace! Long time no see, you're already out at sea!"

"Of course! Sanji and Baze are with me! You should know each other!"

Huck leaned over and said, "Sanji! Are you here too? I really want to learn cooking again."

At this time, the phone bug's eyelids suddenly rolled up, turning into Sanji's eyebrows, and then his voice came out.

"I'm looking forward to it too! By the way, I'll let you know when I find ALL Blue!"

"Me too!"

The phone bug's expression became kind again, and his voice was much gentler.

"Lord Noah, are you okay?"

Noah was very touched when he heard the familiar voice.He smiled and said:

"Baze, I'm fine. Don't call me my lord from now on, or Ace will definitely complain to me. I didn't expect you to come to the Great Route. I'm so happy. I hope to exchange knowledge with you in the future. "

"Okay, Noah. Noah. When we meet again, we must communicate well."

"It's me again! Hey, Heath, where are you? Now I want to fight you and see if you regress."

Heath held the phone bug above his head, raised his head and said loudly: "Ace, you are really confident! However, I don't know where we are now, we have been floating on the sea for a long time."

"Ah, forget it, I won't wait for you, if I overtake you, don't blame me. One Piece is mine!"

"Hahaha, okay, let's compare! By the way, you have to be careful of the Admiral—"Aokiji" Kuzan, he is a natural fruit ability user, and has the ability to freeze everything."

Ace's tone also dropped, and he asked worriedly, "I see, are you all right?"

Heath smiled and said: "It's okay, we escaped. However, if we meet him again, we don't have to run away again, haha. That's it, see you at sea! Ace!"

"Well! See you at sea!"

　The "artistic" processing of Sanji's affairs has been carried out, and the book lovers of the original book party should take it as a joy, borrowing from Oda's plot, and then throwing him into Ace's team.
