To the end of the sea [One Piece]

Sanji opened his mouth weakly: "Ena..."

"It seems you already know the truth." She said calmly, "Then Luffy should rest assured."

"You, you mean Luffy...?"

The silver-haired girl lowered her gaze: "Go save your sister. Your fiancée's ability seems to be related to memory. In order to ensure the smooth progress of tomorrow's wedding, she will not kill Reijiu, but I don't think she will leave her memory of tonight either. .”

Sanji went from being ashamed at the beginning to feeling heartbroken later. At this moment, he finally remembered an important question.

"Ena...how could you..."

She looked at the button on his chest that was washed away by the rain.

"Originally, I wanted to find out why you chose to go with them, and then investigate the reason and then find an opportunity to take you away." She said calmly, "I have been busy investigating these days, and then I heard that you News of the decision to get married.”

"Maybe you should think about it, Sanji." She was so calm, as if the person standing in front of her was a stranger who had nothing to do with her.

"I don't have the position to teach you. Maybe as one of the companions you have protected, I should thank you."

She handed him the umbrella in her hand: "But you have to know... Sanji."

"Luffy has been fighting all day and all night for you, and he hasn't had a bite to eat until now."

"You have people you want to protect, I understand."

"But Luffy is a man who protects everything about you as his own. Do you really think we will be happy with this ending?"

"Well, Zoro might say something like, 'It doesn't matter if the cook doesn't come back.'"

"Luffy and the others also decided to come."

"But I'm not, Sanji."

"I respect all your choices."

After she said this, she turned around and walked into the rain alone.

On the other side, Luffy and Nami Jinbe worked separately, trying to find Sanji in the huge castle.

Suddenly the phone bug on Jinbei's body rang: "Hello? Is this Ena?"

"It's me, Jinbei." Eina's deep voice came from the phone, "I have already contacted Sanji, and he already knows the truth of the matter."

"That's good..." Jinbei ran down the corridor of the castle with Nami on his back, "It's really a big help to Ena."

"What kind words are you talking about?" She sneaked like a shadow in the chaotic castle, "Jinbei, listen to me, the whole castle is in chaos now. Pedro is in the atrium on the third floor, and Brooke is on the fourth floor. The current condition of these two people is unknown. Also, Chopper and Little Rabbit are here too, right? Where are they?".Seven

“Pedro and Brooke separated from us at the beginning because they heard that there was a historical text in BigMom, so they planned to print the text.

Chopper and Garrot were caught in the mirror by a woman named Bree when we landed on Cake Island, and we have never been able to contact them. "Nami said anxiously.

"Mirror..." Eina pondered for a moment, "Sure enough... I felt from the beginning that the mirror here has some kind of spatial imprint. Now I can confirm that the one named Bree is an esper."

"Don't worry, let's meet first and talk in detail." She said calmly.

"Okay!" Nami nodded immediately.

+ + +

Ena never imagined that the place where they met would be so shocking.

"You actually controlled Bree???" Eina stood dumbfounded as she stood in front of Chopper and Garrot, "So now the entire mirror world belongs to us?"

Five minutes ago, Ena was running on the road when she suddenly heard someone calling her name. Then she saw the excited faces of Chopper and Garrot in a mirror with horror.

Then, she was dragged into the mirror by them, and soon found the mirror where Nami and Jinbe were, and pulled them in too.

Pedro, who was in the atrium, was also rescued by them.

They had just found Brooke, who was captured by BigMom, and successfully brought him into the mirror.

At present, except for Luffy and Sanji, all the members who came to Ten Thousand Kingdoms are gathered here.

"Bree's ability connects all the mirrors in the world!" Chopper raised his head proudly, "As long as we take her with us, we can go in and out freely; confirming where we want to go can be achieved as long as there is a mirror!"

"Awesome Chopper!!" Nami happily picked him up and rubbed his head, "You're so capable!"

"But why did Eina suddenly appear? When we saw you, we thought we were wrong." Chopper asked doubtfully.

"It's a long story." She shook her head, "After you and I said goodbye to Zou, I followed Sanji to Germa's ship. After arriving, I sneaked into Ten Thousand Kingdoms. It started a few days ago."

"I was surprised for a long time when I met Ena the day before yesterday." Jinbei said, "The power of the Sora Fruit is really amazing."

He and Eina had made a lot of preparations in the past two days. After the two met once, they split up.

Jinbe has his own things to do, while Ena uses her abilities as a former top assassin to gather information from all nations.

"The ability that has been developed for a long time has finally been put to use." She looked gloomy, thinking of her mood when she handed the button to Sanji on Fish-Man Island.

Sanji never knew that Ena Ikegawa had been guarding him in an invisible place.

She marked the button secretly, just in case she could come to him at any time.

She knew his hesitation and pain, but she could not forgive him for what he did to Luffy.

"Where's Luffy?" she asked.

"We are still in contact with him." Garrot jumped over and hugged Eina: "Karuchu~! Eina-chan is so handsome!"

Eina hugged the little rabbit and turned to ask Jinbei: "So, what was your plan you told me before?"

"When we find Luffy, let's discuss it together." Jinbei said, "Quickly look for a mirror that can contact Luffy."

Chopper and Garrot looked at each other and urged the kidnapped Chimney Man and Bree to move forward quickly.

+ + +

While they were trying to find Luffy, he was lying exhausted in the ruins outside Cake Castle.

He met Reiju on the way after having a long talk with Sanji. After learning from her that Sanji would no longer be deceived, he used his last bit of strength to return to the place of duel with scars.

It was the place where he and Sanji broke up, and the place where he made a promise to him: "I will always be here waiting for you."

So hungry.

I'm so hungry. I can't think anymore when I'm hungry.

The black-haired boy thought dazedly, clutching his hungry belly.

[If you don’t come, I will starve to death here——! ! ! ! 】

At that time, he shouted these words to Sanji's carriage as he drove away.

He knew he heard it.

Since you already know that you have been cheated, you will definitely come, Sanji.

+ + +

After a long wait, the blond man appeared in the clearing.

[I took off the bracelet on your hand a long time ago, Sanji]

[The people of Barati will always be able to save you after you leave]

[Germa is just clinging to its past glory, but is actually nothing more than a criminal murderous group]

[Sanji...you should live well for the sake of your mother]

Reiju told him everything about her childhood, including the truth about her mother's death and the genetic experiments behind Germa.

[You are the child to whom your mother devoted all her tenderness, Sanji]

He seemed to have suffered countless heavy blows overnight, and every piece of news almost destroyed him.

But because there were too many, his thoughts were confused and he struggled to get through it.

He is the child whose mother risked her life to be born.

He is the crystallization of love and emotion, and a symbol of resistance to fate.

[Leave with your friends, Sanji]

[Leave us alone, we are sinners who should have been judged long ago]

【You are free...you have always been free】

All his hesitant obstacles seemed to have been opened overnight, and the road to freedom was waving to him.

But instead he... hesitated even more.

+ + +

After he saw Luffy, he punched him hard.

Does this count as repaying the blows he gave to him who didn't fight back...? He thought confusedly.

Then, he heard his captain, the boy who had smiled and extended his hand to invite him to be his partner in Barati, roaring angrily.

“Speak to me—speak your truth!!!!”

"Sanji——!!!"

His whole body froze there, tears welling up in his eyes unconsciously.

The blond man finally knelt on the ground, choked with sobs and took out his long buried sincerity.

"I want to go back to the Wanli Sunshine...I want to go back to you..."

"But I don't have the courage to escape..."

He cried loudly as if to vent his anger, and finally plucked up the courage to admit his cowardice.

"I never regarded those scum as family, but, but..."

He raised his head in tears.

"But I want to save them... If the ceremony starts, they will all die there..."

Luffy stood there looking at him without saying a word.

Then, he grinned and showed his most classic signature smile.

"We're still here," his captain said, his face covered in dust and blood, and he bent down and held out his hand to him.

"Go and ruin the wedding ceremony."

It had been raining all night and it finally cleared up.

+ + +

In the corner of the ruins, Chopper and others called out to Luffy and Sanji.

"Oh! Chopper!" Luffy happily picked up the mirror fragment, "I found Sanji! As long as we save Sanji's family, he will come back!"

"Hey! Do you want to save Sanji's family?" Sanji heard a voice from the other side of the mirror, and his heart skipped a beat.

That's not their obligation.

Even he himself knew how difficult this matter was, and he shouldn't have dragged them into rescuing that group of people with him.

[Luffy is a man who protects everything about you as his own]

He thought of Ena's words, and then inevitably thought of the look she looked at him before she left.

His heart, which had just warmed up due to his reconciliation with Luffy, started to sting again.

"That's great!" Chopper and Nami's words made him stunned.

"Does this allow Sanji to come back? What do we need to do?"

He stared blankly at the mirror fragments: "You..."

"Ah, it's Sanji." Nami's voice suddenly turned cold, "Don't worry...about the fact that you put me in fear..."

"I will never forgive you."

He was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head with a wry smile.

Well deserved, he thought.

"But that's not what I can't forgive the most." Nami hadn't finished her words yet. Instead of complaining about her suffering, her voice became angrier, "I really don't understand, Sanji, you are like this too." Qualification says you like——"

"Nami." A cold voice interrupted her forcefully, and Sanji's heart tightened for a moment.

Eina sighed and gently took the fragment under the eyes of Nami's reluctance and Chopper's confusion: "Luffy, have you eaten?"

"Eat! Sanji brought me a lunchbox!" Luffy replied energetically.

"That's good." She and Jinbei looked at each other and handed the fragment to him, "Luffy, if you want to save his family, you have to ruin the wedding ceremony. Jinbei has a plan to discuss this with us."

"Yes." Jinbei nodded and took the fragments, "Luffy...there is another force secretly planning to destroy this wedding ceremony."

"It's just that the other party's goal is not the Vinsmoke family, but..."

"BigMom herself."

Eina suddenly frowned.

Luffy asked: "Who is it?"

Then, under Eina's shocked and complicated eyes, Jinbei said that name.

"The Flame Tank Pirates."
