To the end of the sea [One Piece]

??

"Hey, don't be in a daze."

Sanji turned his head indifferently and saw Reiju standing behind him.

The few days he returned to Germa were like a dream.

His older sister who has grown up, his younger brother who still has a bad personality, and the man he hates, his father Gaji.

The tall, beautiful pink-haired woman shrugged: "Don't look at me with that look. Iji and Niji are coming back, and father wants me to take you to meet them."

He followed her outside without saying a word.

Reijiu casually glanced at the younger brother she hadn't seen for many years with her peripheral vision: "Don't be so persistent. Haven't you already met Brynn? I quite like her. She is a good child."

"This has nothing to do with Brynn." Sanji said coldly, "The dirty tricks you used force me to stay in the castle and wait for marriage. No matter how cute the girl is, this engagement will make me sad." I'm disgusted."

After he was brought into Totland by Capone Beki a week ago, he was first arranged to meet his fiancée, and then he was sent back to this familiar castle.

This was a childhood nightmare that he had been running away from for twelve years, and he never thought he would come back one day.

Sanji looked at the two small iron rings on his wrists with hatred, coldly sticking to his skin, reminding him of the heavy threat behind him.

That was the reason why he initially chose to leave with Capone, leaving Eina and others behind.

[You should care about that guy from the East China Sea, right? 】

[Or is it the fate of Straw Hat and the others? They shouldn't be able to resist the angry four emperors for the time being, right? 】

[How many rounds of attacks do you think those people from the Land of Human Demons can withstand? 】

This is a threat from the most powerful force in the New World, and he has to make a painful choice.

And just this morning, he was put on these two bracelets.

[If you don’t want to be blown to pieces, just be your groom.]

The blond man clenched his fists feebly and followed Reiju to the castle hall.

Two figures, one red and one blue, stood there, smiling mockingly after hearing his footsteps.

"I didn't expect that Sanji is actually still alive."

He stared hard at the two brothers who turned around. The man's facial features overlapped with the young and dark smiling faces in his memory, and a suffocating depression surged in his heart.

"I wonder how he can be so honest." Niji smiled evilly and pinched the iron ring on his wrist. "It turns out he is wearing something good. Hahahaha, he is worthy of being a father."

"Don't touch me." His voice was low and he waved away the hand.

Niji's face darkened.

"This kind of thing is best for you." Iji said with a sneer, "Punishment is best for disobedient trash."

Sanji took a fierce step forward and looked at him, refusing to take a step back.

"That's enough." Gaji waved his hand, "Now that we're back, let's go have dinner together. Sanji, you'd better know your identity and don't do such an unseemly thing."

Sanji stared at them coldly and backed away slowly.

"Sister Janna, sister Janna!" In the kitchen, a little maid rushed over, "Oh no, the princes are fighting because of Sister Cosette!"

"What did you say?" Janna was stunned, "Which prince?"

"It's His Highness Sanji who suddenly appeared in the past two days, because His Highness Niji said that the food made by sister Cosette was not delicious and wanted to punish her, but His Highness Sanji suddenly stopped him!"

Janna was stunned.

"What about Cosette?"

"It should be fine. His Highness Sanji is really a nice person. He is different from the other princes... When I brought him food the day before yesterday, he thanked me very gently~"

"Don't let others hear such words." Janna frowned.

The little maid stuck out her tongue.

"I know. But speaking of Sister Janna, do you think anything strange has happened in the castle these two days?"

"what do you mean?"

"I can't tell...I heard from patrol 438 that they heard footsteps infiltrating in the corridors of the castle at night. Carlo said at midnight last night that he saw a silver bird flying past the window."

Janna scratched her head: "Where did you hear all these rumors?"

"Oh, it's true! Some people say it's a silver bird, some say it's a silver ghost... But when we searched deliberately, we found nothing. The gates of the castle are also very tight, and it's impossible for anyone to sneak in from the outside. You Are you saying it’s not really haunted?”

"Don't think nonsense." Janna said, "Okay, go to work quickly, don't talk nonsense here if you have time."

The maids dispersed to do their own business.

----------

In the evening, in Sanji's room.

Reiju let out a long sigh as she looked at Sanji who was beaten into a pig's head by Ijiji and Yuji.

"I'm going to meet my parents tomorrow, and you're going to face this?" She crossed her arms helplessly, "At least you have some grooming consciousness, why do you have to fight with them?"

The blond man's face was swollen, his head lowered and he said nothing.

"I'm telling you, you should already know that there is no way to resist your father and Big Mom, right?" Reijiu frowned, "Since you have stayed here obediently, for the sake of Straw Hat Boy and your benefactors, you should also be content. a little."

"The people in the East China Sea are watching very closely. Every move you make is related to the lives of everyone in the Haihai Restaurant."

"I don't need you to remind me!" Sanji glared and growled inarticulately, "Didn't I say that a marriage brought about by such means...what choice do I have?"

The two siblings looked at each other, and Reiju calmly stepped forward.

"look up."

"What to do?" Sanji subconsciously wanted to refuse, but his sister forcefully pushed him down on the chair.

Reiju applied something forcefully on his face, and Sanji felt a stinging and restraining sensation on his face, and his facial features seemed to be deformed.

She stepped back and nodded with satisfaction.

"Although it won't cure your face, it will help you see people."

He touched his face and was surprised to see that they had returned to their original shape.

"you…"

"Don't thank me, that's too disgusting." Reijiu chuckled, "It's just for Jerma's sake. How can you say that you have restored your status as the Third Highness now?"

"Sleep well, we have to go to the palace tomorrow." She waved her hand and left the room.

Sanji sat there blankly, subconsciously reaching out and taking out a lighter.

Since arriving here, the frequency and quantity of his cigarettes have doubled.

So depressing.

Everything here made him so suffocating and powerless.

During the day, he had to face those people who were like nightmares in his memory. Only at night alone, he could expose his soft scars and lick them gently.

The blond man held his head and bent over in pain.

Something slipped out of his chest.

Sanji stared blankly and pinched the small button that had been hanging on his chest, and his heart was hit hard.

He was suddenly so sad that he wanted to cry.

"Ena..." His voice was hoarse and soft, and he whispered her name repeatedly on his lips.

Wait for me to come back, wait for me to come back.

Can I really... still be able to go back to her?

He can't drag Luffy down... he can't ignore the lives of everyone in Barati, he can't...

We can no longer let her protect us...

He smiled bitterly, grabbed his hair tightly, lowered his neck and closed his eyes.

Sanji picked up the small button she gave him with trembling fingers, and rubbed it with his cold lips reverently and desperately.

The moonlight outside the window was hazy, reflecting on the edges of the old buttons, shining faintly at an angle that no one could see.

------------

"That straw hat boy~ received my instructions and foolishly fell into Sister Bree's trap." In a room in the cake castle, a girl with brown twin tails was sitting proudly on the sofa playing with her hands. pistol.

If Sanji or Luffy were here, they would be as surprised as a thunderbolt.

Because the girl with such a sinister smile was none other than Sanji's fiancée Bryn, who acted innocent and harmless in front of them.

"I didn't expect them to really come after me!" Blanket Homiz Rabian and Jelly Homiz Nitro said as they surrounded her with smiles. "Is the Straw Hat boy crazy? He would not hesitate to sneak into a torment just for a friend. Tran, maybe he has died at the hands of Lord Bree!"

"Ha." Brynn raised her head proudly, "Even my mother said that she likes my acting skills the most. How could a simple idiot like Straw Hat see through me?"

"That Sanji is so naive. He actually said something to me as soon as we met. He wanted to go back to his companions and said he was sorry to me..."

Her cute face turned ferocious in an instant.

"What's wrong with saying sorry...what's wrong with saying I'm a very good girl..."

"Brynn, you are cute! But those eyes of yours are so disgusting! Cover them up!" The brown-haired girl imitated a certain tone in a distorted and sharp manner, but there was deep sadness in her eyes, "Sorry! Brynn! You have to Be the cutest girl and please your mother! Please everyone!"

She gasped and put her hands on the table, laughing stiffly: "I am indeed... the cutest daughter, right..."

She suddenly seemed to be disgusted with something. She stood up suddenly, raised the mirror in her hand, and lifted up her thick bangs with abandon.

Labian and Nitro carefully called her from behind: "Lord Brynn..."

A third eye that was different from ordinary people suddenly appeared in the mirror.

Buried deep under the bangs, there is an ugly monster that never wants to be discovered.

Everyone has so much pain to hide, cover up, and suffer silently during the day. And only in the middle of the night can the darkest and weakest monsters find their place.

Tears flowed from three eyes at the same time, and Brynn once again recalled what her mother had said to her during the day.

[What a good girl, Brynn]

[You with such a dark heart and those disgusting eyes are a perfect match]

She choked and raised her head to look out the window, her whole body frozen in place.

In the next second, she looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She quickly put down her bangs and raised the gun in her hand.

She shouted in panic: "Who are you???!!"

The murderous intention spread instantly and wrapped around her heart like a poisonous snake. The depth of the shock and anger concealed the shadow of her most fear.

to be seen...my eyes...

Her window was pushed open slightly, and the trigger in her hand was just a second away from firing.

Then, she heard the silver-haired uninvited guest sigh softly:

"You have beautiful eyes. Has no one ever told you so, miss?"

Something in her heart exploded like fireworks, and Brynn covered her heart as if struck by lightning.

He - the handsome man wearing the attire of a guard, with half-length silver hair tied back, standing at her window like a knight with a slender and elegant figure.

His facial features are delicate yet handsome, and his dark green eyes are deep and charming under the moonlight.

He was said to be a man, but he was so beautiful that he was indistinguishable from male to female. Brynn could only judge from his height, Adam's apple, and facial contours that were slightly rougher than those of women.

Before Bryn came back to his senses, he tilted his head in distress: "Sorry, I seem to have entered the wrong room."

"I'm sorry to bother you." He smiled at her, "But those are really beautiful eyes."

"all of them."

He jumped back lightly, and Brynn was startled. She rushed to the window and looked down, but there was no sign of anyone at all.

Only the moonlight fell softly on her windowsill.

It was as psychedelic as a dream, and Brynn couldn't help but doubt the authenticity of it.

But she raised her hands to cover her face, and the violent beating of her heart clearly conveyed a signal to her.

The wind moves, the flags move, but actually the heart moves.

The moonlight is like water tonight.
