Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

"He made breakfast and left early in the morning. I guess he went on a date with Brin." Reiner shrugged.

"Oh?" Usopp winked, "Sanji has really fallen in love with me."

"I'm afraid it's more than that. I think his soul has been taken away by someone." Nami said with a smile.

Unlike Reiner, they did not expect Sanji and Pudding to get together, but they were also happy with the result.

Who doesn’t like a story about a playboy meeting his true love, or a prince and a princess?

Reiner didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and the Big Mom Pirates also seemed to want to facilitate their marriage.

Many things have developed differently from the original work, and I don’t know what the other party is up to.

Time passed until noon when the sun was high overhead.

A battleship with a donut-shaped deck came to Cocoa Island to find Luffy and others.

"Straw Hat."

Katakuri, wearing a thick black metallic outfit, stood at the bow and shouted to the people on the Merry below:

"We have arranged accommodation for you on Cake Island. Come with us."

"Cake Island?" Luffy's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed. "--Oh! Let's go!"

"But Sanji hasn't come back yet." Nami interrupted Luffy.

Katakuri hid half of his face under his scarf and said in a low voice, "I'll have someone notify them. He and Pudding will go over there later."

"Okay." Nami had no choice but to agree.

After a while, the Merry followed the other ship and sailed away.

Cake Island is the most central and largest island in the world. There are basically no residents here, only Homies.

In preparation for tomorrow's tea party, the island was already decorated with lights and a large number of Homies were setting the scene and moving goods.

There is food collected from various islands in the New World, as well as gifts sent by various forces for Sanji and Pudding's wedding.

After arriving at Cake Island, Katakuri took the initiative to explain to them:

"Wan Guo is our territory. In addition, there are many islands under our flag in the New World. As long as you offer a certain amount of desserts to Wan Guo every month, you will be protected by us."

"It's the same with other sea emperors. They all have a lot of territories under their control. The entire New World has basically been divided up by our few forces."

"Although many people think you have the strength to challenge the Sixth Emperor, but from what I know."

Katakuri looked at Luffy calmly, "So far, you haven't planted your flag on any island."

"Ah." Luffy nodded in acknowledgement and asked confusedly, "What's wrong?"

"Don't you belong to any force?" Katakuri asked.

"No." Luffy said simply, and suddenly grinned, "I just want to adventure freely on the sea. It seems troublesome to have a little brother."

"Is it."

Katakuri stopped talking and led them all the way into the castle.

Walking behind, Reiner couldn't help feeling puzzled as he looked at Katakuri's back.

When the other party said this to Luffy, it felt like he was testing something.

Reiner recalled some memories about the man in front of him, and suddenly the corners of his mouth raised with interest.

If I remember correctly, Katakuri has the Conqueror's Haki.

Big Aunt ruled the entire nation in a brutal and dictatorial manner. In her eyes, children were no different from tools, and everyone was terrified of her.

Lola, Chiffon, Brin and others are not the only ones who hate Big Mom. The Charlotte family's indifference to family affection is not much better than the Vinsmoke family.

In a different environment, Katakuri wouldn't think anything of awakening Overlord Celaena, as he is indeed a man of courage.

But the awakening of the domineering color under the dictatorship of the aunt is somewhat intriguing.

the other side.

A blanket Homies flew in the air with Pudding and Sanji sitting on it. After being notified of Vinsmoke's arrival, the two on a date also started to rush to Cake Island.

Sanji remained silent, and as he got closer to the Cake Island, his brows became more and more serious.

"Are you okay Sanji?"

Brin, who was kneeling beside her, couldn't help but feel worried, but didn't know how to comfort her.

Sanji also realized that he might have made the other person uncomfortable, and apologized, "Sorry for making you worry, I'm fine."

"Sanji."

Brin lowered her head, nervously clenched her palms, and mustered up the courage to ask, "Can I hug you?"

After saying this, Brin felt her heartbeat speed up, she became more nervous, and her face gradually turned red.

Sanji was stunned for a long time before he stammered, "Of course."

After getting a positive answer, Brin breathed a sigh of relief.

Wrapping her arms around his waist, Pudding slowly pressed her body against Sanji and buried her head in his chest.

Brin's heart felt warmer than ever before.

"Sanji, can I ask you a question?"

Pudding whispered nervously, "It might make you angry but, I want to get to know Sanji better."

Sanji seemed to have seen through the girl's thoughts, and there was a moment of hesitation in his eyes.

Placing his hand gently on Brin's back and leaning down, he could clearly smell the faint fragrance emanating from the girl's body.

"Brynn wanted to ask about my family."

"Well, doesn't Sanji like his family?"

"."

After a moment of silence, Sanji said calmly, "I don't like it."

"I don't know what happened to Sanji in the past, and I don't know how to comfort you, but..."

Pudding looked up and smiled, "Sanji, would you mind complaining to me about your family?"

Sanji looked at Pudding in front of him. All the things that had been hidden in his heart for many years, he had the urge to pour out everything like now.

if you can.

Who likes to bear the pain alone?

There's never anyone I can talk to.

"If I had to find a word to describe my childhood, I would probably choose 'anger'."

"I came to Wan Guo this time to put an end to them, but now..."

Sanji suddenly smiled and said, "I suddenly feel that those things are not that important."

"Meeting Brin-chan is enough to make up for all the misfortunes."

"Eh?"

"Wait a minute! Why are you suddenly saying this?"

Pudding's face suddenly turned red. Looking at the gentle Sanji, she was so nervous that she didn't know what to do.

During the two days of getting along, both sides actually vaguely sensed each other's feelings.

Pudding's inferiority complex makes her afraid to express her love, but Sanji is different.

I thought the other person was cute from the first sight.

On the first night together, I saw how appreciative and fond of Brin was of her seriousness in cooking.

Then when Pudding said, "It makes me happy to see others happy while eating the desserts I made myself," Sanji's heart beat fast.

And now, when he saw the tenderness that Brin showed him.

An extremely strong thought deep in Sanji's heart surfaced nakedly.

He likes this girl.

Cute, loves cooking, kind and gentle personality

Everything that Pudding showed stimulated Sanji's urge to fall in love with her.

No matter how many times he asked himself, he couldn't find a reason not to like the girl in front of him.

"I like Brin-chan."

No sign.

Sanji's sudden words startled Pudding, and she stared at Sanji blankly with her round, bright eyes.

Before she could react, she was hugged by the waist.

A hand gently held her head, fingertips running through her light brown hair.

Sanji leaned close to Pudding's ear and confessed softly and gently.

The breeze blows through the swaying shadows of the trees, and white clouds are fixed in the blue sky.

It seemed as if everything in the world was slowly quieting down so that they could hear each other's thoughts.

"I like you, Pudding-chan."

"Yamasanji"

Tears of emotion welled up in Pudding's eyes, and her hands tightly grasped Sanji's clothes.

"like."

"Pruebabe likes Sanji too."

Brin pursed her lips tightly, her watery eyes seemed to be holding back tears, her voice choked with sobs:

"Why? She's obviously very happy. Brynn is really very happy."

"Brin-chan? Are you crying?"

"I don't!"
