Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

"We learn from each other." Reiner on the side couldn't hold back his smile, "You have a lot of excuses. This is just a date."

"Stop talking!"

Sanji's face turned red and he shouted, "Breakfast is ready for you in the restaurant. I'll be back before lunch!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't come back."

Reiner continued to joke, "If you have the guts, you can sleep at my place tonight."

"Who are you calling incompetent?"

"What! You really want to sleep over there tonight?"

"Hey! When did I say that, you bastard!" Sanji quickly retorted loudly.

At this time, perhaps because they were disturbed, Usopp, Franky and others also sat up from the bed, rubbed their eyes, looked over, and joked:

"Hey, Sanji, are you going on a date?"

"Come on, Sanji. I think that girl is pretty good."

"Hey, who was shouting yesterday that he wasn't going to get married?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

"You bastards!" Sanji was so angry that veins popped up on his forehead.

Sooner or later, these bastards will be poisoned to death!

"Come on, stop being so conceited. Are you going to take care of every strand of your hair? Compared to dressing up,

Reiner pushed Sanji away with his elbow, stood in front of the mirror, glanced at him with a raised corner of his mouth, and said: "How about I teach you a few tricks? They are all based on experience and will definitely be useful."

"What's useful or not? Mind your own business. I'm not going on a date."

Sanji said this with disdain, but still stood there, waiting for Reiner to continue speaking.

"For example, change your name from Ms. Brin to Brin-chan. After all, you are engaged, so being closer won't be considered rude."

"There are also professional titles, which can be used to praise the other person in a joking way. It doesn't matter whether it's exaggerated or realistic."

"Every time I call Nami the world's best navigator, she's so happy. Pudding is a pastry chef, right?"

Reiner told Sanji the story while he was fixing his hair.

Usopp called him an expert and hurriedly got out of bed to start taking notes.

Soon, Sanji packed up, picked out a burgundy lining, put on a black casual suit and left.

Reiner and the others also went to the restaurant to have breakfast.

The weather is nice today, and white clouds are lazily lying in the clear blue sky.

The sunshine is gentle and the breeze is cool.

On the lawn deck, Robin was leaning against a tree reading a book, while Luffy, Chopper and others were sitting on the railing of the boat fishing.

On the stern deck, Zoro was sweating as usual, and Franky returned to the laboratory on the underground first floor to continue tinkering with his secret mecha.

After breakfast, Reiner asked Nami to go for a walk in the town and pick out some suitable dresses for Luffy and others for the wedding in two days.

In Chocolate Town, at the window of a coffee shop called "Caramel", Brin handed a dessert to a customer.

"Your mocha and strawberry pie."

"Thank you. Goodbye, Master Brin."

"Thank you for your patronage. Welcome to visit us next time."

Brin smiled and waved goodbye to the customer, then turned around and glanced at the clock on the wall.

"It's already half past eight."

"There's still half an hour left. Will Mr. Sanji really come?" Pudding thought nervously.

Although the two of them had a very pleasant time together last night, she could also feel that Sanji was a very gentle person.

But because of this, Brin became a little worried.

She actually began to worry whether Sanji was so gentle last night out of politeness.

It's a little unbelievable.

But in fact, Brynn, who was ranked second as the 'Charlotte family's favorite sister', actually has extremely low self-esteem.

She is a mixed-race of the Three-Eyed Tribe, and because of the third eye on her forehead, she was often bullied and ridiculed as a child.

In addition, she has not yet opened her eyes and awakened the abilities of the three-eyed tribe, so she has never been welcomed by Big Mom.

Later, she grew long bangs to cover her forehead, and began to learn to use insidiousness and evil to disguise herself as "strong" in order to protect herself and cover up her inner inferiority.

Although they spent a short time together last night, she could still feel Sanji's excellence. However, this only made her feel even more inferior and she began to feel that she was not worthy of Sanji.

"Brin-chan."

Suddenly, a whisper from behind made her tremble, and a sudden surprise surged in her heart.

Brin turned around in surprise, and sure enough, she saw the face she had been expecting all morning.

Sanji was standing in the doorway, smiling at her.

"Good morning, have you kept me waiting for a long time, Pulin-chan?"

"No, no, there's still half an hour until our agreed time."

Pudding waved her hand hastily and continued, "Good morning, Sanji. Come in."

"Yeah." Sanji walked into the cafe with two bags in his hands. "These are some tools and ingredients. I had some wonderful ideas when I went back last night. I wanted to try them out today, so I brought them here."

"That sounds like it would be fun." Brin nodded with a smile. "Let's get started. I'll close the store for a while."

"Is this okay? Am I affecting your business?"

"No." Brin quickly shook her head. "Because I like to make desserts when I'm bored, so I thought of opening a shop and sharing food with everyone in this way."

“So I don’t make money from this, it’s more important.”

Brin smiled and held her fingers together, saying, "When I see others happy after eating the desserts I made, I feel very happy too."

Hearing this, Sanji froze in place, staring blankly at Pudding. He seemed to hear the strong beating of his own heart.

He has been attracted by countless beauties.

But, this is the first time.

I am moved not because of the other person's beautiful face or sexy body, but just because of a sentence.

".San.Sanji."

Being stared at like this, Brin blushed and nervously lowered her head to avoid his gaze.

"Oh, sorry." Sanji finally came back to his senses and smiled apologetically, "I am sorry."

"No, it's okay. Let's get our things sorted first."

Pudding quickly changed the subject, took a bag of items from Sanji, and walked into the bakery. "Can we make a new tiramisu today? I've always wanted to try it."

"Of course, everything is decided by our dessert master." Sanji joked, "I will serve as your assistant."

"How can such great masters be so powerful?"

This made Brin feel embarrassed, and her face, which had just gotten rid of her shyness, turned red again.

The joy of having my efforts recognized by others could not help but overflow from my heart and show on my face.

Regardless of what Reiner said in the morning, Sanji's praise came from the heart.

The brief time they spent together last night did allow him to see Brin's cooking skills and her seriousness in cooking.

Sanji stepped forward to help organize the things in the bag and asked, "Does Pudding-chan have anything else to do today?"

"Me, emmm," Brin said thoughtfully, "I don't have any plans. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be free all day."

"In that case, let's leave the tools here for now, and go prepare the ingredients for tiramisu."

Sanji stroked his chin and thought, "Let me see, there are Butter Island, Flour Island, and Liqueur Island in Wan Guo."

"Eh? Wait a minute, Sanji." Pudding asked in confusion, "Don't I have all these materials here?"

"Yeah, I know." Sanji nodded and smiled.

"However, Wan Guo has islands with various food themes. This is a dreamlike place like heaven for chefs. If Pulin-chan happens to be free, can you take me for a tour?"

"Moreover, collecting ingredients is also an important part of cooking. I think it would be a very interesting experience to travel around the islands and collect ingredients with Pudding-chan." Sanji smiled gently.

Yes. Interesting experience.

After hearing what Sanji said, Pudding blushed all the way to her neck. "Of course."

"Wait a moment, Mr. Sanji. I'm going to the bathroom."

"Okay, I understand." Sanji nodded slightly.

After arriving at the bathroom, Brynn covered her red face with her hands, pouted, and looked at herself in the mirror, feeling excited.

For some reason, Sanji seemed to give him a different feeling today than he did last night.

It's like

Be more proactive in getting closer to yourself?

When Pudding thought of what Sanji had just said to her, "It would be fun to go around the islands together to collect ingredients," she became even more nervous.

"Am I falling in love with Mr. Sanji?"

Pudding held her hand to her heart. She was not sure what her feelings were towards Sanji right now.

I just feel comfortable being with Sanji, and all the troubles can be put behind me.

It was also very comfortable to chat with the other party. The marriage that she had always been afraid of was never mentioned in front of her by the other party, as if he was deliberately taking her feelings into consideration.

Suddenly, for a moment, I began to look forward to the upcoming wedding.

"Will I really marry Mr. Sanji?"

Pudding couldn't help but ask herself this question, and then tried to imagine what would happen if she and Sanji got married.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but use her fingers to push back her bangs, revealing her eyes on her forehead.
