One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

In just a moment, he spotted the Straw Hat crew sitting at the door!

To be precise, it's Nami from that group.

The next second, his eyes suddenly turned into pink hearts, his legs spun like a whirlwind, and he suddenly appeared in front of Nami, then knelt down on one knee in a gentlemanly manner.

"Oh, ocean, thank you for granting me this encounter today."

A rose, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, suddenly appeared in Sanji's hand.

"God! Is this your punishment for me?! Making me abandon everything and throw myself into love without hesitation..."

Sanji was about to transform into the "King of Poetry" and give Nami a greasy poetry recitation performance.

But just then, an elongated arm suddenly reached out and grabbed the rose from Sanji's hand.

"Awoo~"

Luffy chewed on a flower petal, but his brow furrowed slightly.

"This dish is awful! It doesn't taste like what you'd expect from this restaurant!"

"........."

Sanji blinked, looking at the only green flower stem left in his hand, and suddenly froze in place, feeling awkward.

"Pfft~"

Nami couldn't help but burst out laughing.

She reached out and took the flower stem from Sanji's hand, then said with amusement:

"Sir, is this the tool you use to woo someone?"

“Ah, this…” Sanji was speechless for a moment.

But the next instant, he abruptly turned his gaze to Luffy, his eyes suddenly blazing with fury.

"Hey kid! How dare you..."

But before he could finish speaking, a hand landed on Sanji's shoulder.

Crimson lowered his voice, a mysterious smile on his face, and whispered in his ear:

"Vinsmoke."

"!!!"

Those four simple words caused Sanji's expression to freeze, and the anger in his eyes vanished instantly.

Then, a look of disbelief and horror appeared deep in his eyes.

But Crimson patted his shoulder gently again:

"If you don't want to make too much of a fuss, let's find a quiet place and talk in detail."

"Hey Luffy, stop eating, it's time to get down to business!"

Red gave Zoro and Usopp a look.

Upon receiving the instructions, the two immediately stepped forward, forcibly grabbed Luffy's shoulders, and dragged him off the table.

"You are..."

A panicked Sanji was about to question them, but then he remembered the other diners and what Akane had just said, and he fell silent.

Tap!

After a while, he took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, and forced himself to calm down.

After exhaling a long puff of smoke, he then addressed Crimson and the others:

"Come with me!"

Although his mind was in turmoil because of Chi Hong's words, just as Chi Hong said, there were some things he didn't want too many people to know...

Including Mr. Zeff!

And so, at Red's signal, the Straw Hat crew followed Sanji up to the second floor of Baratie.

Johnny and Joseph were left behind to guard the Merry.

The diners breathed a sigh of relief as they watched Luffy being forcibly dragged along by Zoro and Usopp, yet still pitifully reaching out for food.

At the very least, this group of pirates is not as evil and terrifying as the rumors circulate about on the high seas, and they are not their target.

……

……

On the balcony on the second floor of the Barradi seaside restaurant.

Sanji took the cigarette out of his mouth with one hand and flicked it in the air.

Ashes fell, sparks flickered, and a faint light appeared.

Sanji's expression grew increasingly somber.

"So many years have passed, I never thought you would still find this place!"

"Speak! What exactly do you want?!"

He suddenly spoke, as if he was trying his best to suppress the resentment in his heart.

But upon closer inspection, it's not hard to spot a hint of fear hidden deep in his eyes.

Since escaping the Vinsmoke family with the help of his sister Reiju, Sanji has always believed that he has completely severed ties with his past.

But when he heard that family's name again from the crimson mouth, he realized...

It turns out that my fear had never disappeared!

However, at that moment, Luffy tilted his head to the side, revealing an innocent look in his eyes.

"That's strange, what are you talking about?"

"Never mind!"

With a casual wave of his hand, he instantly adopted the demeanor of a captain, giving a thumbs-up as he introduced himself:

"You're Sanji, right!?"

"My name is Monkey D. Luffy! I'm currently looking for like-minded companions to become the Pirate King!"

"I heard from Crimson that you are an amazing chef, so come join my pirate crew."

Luffy's tone was completely flat, as if he were stating a fact that had already been established.

They didn't give Sanji any chance to refuse.

But this sudden turn of events caught Sanji, who was already on edge, off guard.

After a long pause, he picked up a cigarette, took a deep drag, and then frowned, asking in confusion:

"A pirate crew!?"

"Aren't you from the Vinsmoke family?!"

"The Vinsmoke family? What are those?"

Luffy tilted his head, equally puzzled.

Just then, Red gently patted Luffy on the shoulder from behind, then stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Let me explain the rest, Luffy."

He looked up, his dark eyes instantly meeting Sanji's.

“I think you’ve misunderstood, Sanji. We have no connection with the Vinsmoke family.”

"That was just to create an opportunity to talk to you."

As he spoke, Crimson pointed to his eyes:

"The reason I can name that family is because I can see your past and future!"

The crimson text was straightforward, making no attempt to conceal anything about the mountain.

But Sanji clearly wasn't so quick to accept all of this.

"Are you kidding me?" He frowned, his distinctive curly eyebrows furrowing, not believing Crimson's words.

"Then what will it take for you to believe us?" Crimson didn't find it strange at all, and instead continued to ask.

But Sanji clearly didn't want to continue fooling around.

He exhaled a puff of white smoke.

"I don't know where you got this information, but I have limited time and don't have time to play any One Piece games with you."

As he spoke, he prepared to return to his cabin.

But at that moment, Crimson, who was prepared, softened her voice and said gently:

"Sanji, you are not a failure."

tread!

Sanji suddenly stopped.

It was clear that the crimson words hit the bullseye.

Crimson then added:

“Vinsmoke Sora did everything he could to protect your feelings, so you must be gentler than anyone else.”

"Because you were born with all of your mother's blessings!"

"It is her proudest and greatest work of her life!!!"

pat~

The cigarette that Sanji hadn't finished burning in his hand suddenly fell onto the deck and rolled forward a few times.

Two tear tracks had already appeared on his face...
