Chapter40

Poverty x protection x agreement

——In your eyes are the bright stars that I have been pursuing all my life.

Please give me a little more time so that I can hug and kiss

It's too late to keep you by my side

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

Renee is actually a little girl who is afraid of pain and delicate. Sanji has always known this.

When she was young and had not experienced so many storms and was protected by her mother, even a small scratch after a fall would make her little princess shed tears.

At that time, Sanji would always rush to comfort her, make faces at her to make her laugh, and gently blow on her bruised skin.

Even though Renee's wound will heal soon, Sanji is still very distressed.

My sister is so small and delicate, there should be no wounds on her body

Until the year I was four years old, something unexpected happened

He is too weak. He usually cannot protect Renee from the three cold-blooded and cruel brothers. Now he is watching helplessly as she blocks the unknown terror for him.

Yes, from the way his father kept looking at him, he could tell that this so-called "opportunity to become stronger" was prepared by his father for him.

But that little figure who had always been weak and huddled behind her, that Renée who was so afraid of pain, suddenly pushed him away, persuaded her father, and accepted the tragic fate on his behalf.

His sister, the sister who deserves to be loved by all the good things in the world

The sister who always holds his hand and is inseparable from him

Just like that, in his eyes, in his powerless hands, he was taken away by life.

Don't take my sister away. She is timid and afraid of pain. Even at night she has to hold my hand and fall asleep in my arms.

Don't take her to such a painful and dark place

He cried, desperately trying to break away from his father's hand and catch up with the blond figure who became smaller and smaller in his sight.

But it was useless. The indifferent father kicked him to the ground and looked at him with such strange eyes.

Please, give me Renee, whatever you want me to do

He tugged at his father's trousers, crying and begging

Renee was the sister who came into this world with him in his arms, his half-body who was one and the same.

It doesn't matter if his father doesn't like him, it doesn't matter if his brothers bully him, it doesn't matter if the whole world looks down on him

As long as Renee is still there, the sister who has been holding his hand and clinging to him is still there

This world will always be gentle, with the color of love

So don't take her away from me, please

The tall blond man kicked him again and said something disdainful

"You are such a waste"

He could no longer hold on to the man in front of him whom he called his father. He could only curl up on the ground and endure the pain all over his body, watching the man leave with hazy eyes.

He has never hated his own weakness so much. He is too weak to protect Renee, and even wants Renee to protect him in turn.

He obviously promised his mother that he would always protect his petite and fragile sister.

His sister, who was as gentle as the morning sun, was dragged into the darkness like that, but he could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything except cry and be unwilling.

Young Sanji finally understood something that day

Weak people have no right to choose

After that, the originally squeamish sister never cried because of the wound.

The little figure that would secretly nuzzle into his arms with a pillow at night never appeared again. The fairy tale book stuffed under the pillow was stuck in the place where the story had not reached a happy ending and was never opened again.

Renee began to become stronger and started to rush in front of him to protect him. Later, she gained special abilities and was valued and respected by everyone.

But Sanji saw it

The pain in my sister's blue eyes, the lips that were clenched and turned white when she used her abilities.

It hurts, Renee.

Sorry

He was so powerless against all of this. Destiny was like a pair of big hands, pushing him and Renee forward, forcing him to recognize the darkness of the world and the happy childhood smile that gradually disappeared from his sister's face.

The two most important and cherished people to him, one was tortured by endless experiments, and the other was lying in the ward getting weaker and weaker, but there was nothing he could do.

Later, Sanji found something he could do, and he began to delve into cooking, just so that his sister, who had not eaten normal food for a long time, could taste something other than nutrient solution and meat.

But the first fried rice and bento were terrible.

He was embarrassed, but Renee and her mother ate all the two portions of food in front of him.

"Will you do it to me again? Sanji"

There was a very happy smile on my mother's sick face, as happy as before nothing happened.

Sanji nodded vigorously, his cooking can bring happiness to the people he loves

This realization made him so happy that he wanted to cry

So Sanji wants to be a chef, a chef who can cook more delicious dishes for his sister and mother.

Even when he was locked in the basement for half a year, he still worked hard towards this ideal.

His mother has passed away long ago. In the past six months, the only one who has supported Sanji is his only sister.

But even though the three brothers and Reijiu discovered his existence one after another, Renee never appeared in front of him, not even once.

On the day he escaped, when they were saying goodbye on the coast, Reiju cried and told him the truth.

"Renee died half a year ago"

His sister, the light with which he was born

Dissipated long ago

He started wandering on his own, moving to the ship to work in the kitchen. Fortunately, he met Zhefu, who was like a real father and took him to grow up in Barati, a restaurant on the sea.

And that little blond figure was hidden deeply in Sanji's heart. It was his other self who died young in this world.

Until that day, he finally received the mercy of the gods

His Renee is still alive, maybe waiting for him on the road ahead, waiting to come back to him

It was so wonderful. He looked at those blue eyes that were exactly the same as his mother through the crowd.

You're back, Renee

This time, my brother will definitely stand in front of you and protect you.

No one or anything can hurt you anymore

Such thoughts, along with the bullet that penetrated his sister's body, stabbed Sanji's heart with blood.

He dragged his seriously injured body and stretched out his hand desperately to Renee, looking at the figure who was soaked in blood and slowly falling.

It's not like this, it shouldn't be like this, I've become stronger

I can already protect you

The scene in front of me overlapped with the scene of the weak and helpless man lying at his father's feet, who could only watch his sister leave.

The next second, Xiong's palm fell, and Renee's figure was no longer in front of his eyes.

He was too weak. Even if Renee returned to his side, he would still not be able to protect her tightly from any harm as he expected.

This world is cruel, and the weak have no right to protect the ones they cherish

After flying for an unknown amount of time, Sanji, who was seriously injured, woke up from his coma.

In a daze, he heard the chirping of seagulls, the sound of waves hitting the beach, his eyebrows trembled a few times, and Sanji opened his eyes.

He was lying on a soft beach, with the blue sea beside him, and a rainbow hanging in the blue sky.

His body refused to obey him. He took a few painful breaths and struggled to sit up, but he could only lie on his back on the ground.

A piece of paper fell out as he moved

With trembling hands, he picked it up with difficulty

[You are far from qualified now, go and become stronger, in order to protect the important people]

He seemed to suddenly understand something, and he picked up a handful of soft sand in his palm

The warm sunshine shone on him, the rainbow above his head and the quiet sound of the waves were so peaceful. In this land without danger, Sanji knew that he was saved.

I don't know when there were tears in his eyes. He clutched the note tightly. He couldn't describe his mood at this time.

You'll be fine too, right?

蕾妮

After three days and three nights of flying, carried by the bear's power, the Straw Hat Pirates were all the same as Sanji.

In the early morning of the fourth day, I woke up in a strange place with a piece of paper written on it.

——Go and become stronger

The note said, no matter how unwilling everyone is and how worried they are about their partners, they have to admit that their abilities are still too weak for this world.

Their unfinished journey is about to enter the sea called "New World"

There are so many people with abilities on that sea, and big pirates with a bounty of hundreds of millions are all on one side. With their current strength, how can they continue the journey towards their dreams?

Although I don’t know what purpose Xiong had in saving them and leaving such a note, what he said is undoubtedly correct.

They need to become stronger. Only by becoming stronger can they protect their companions and conquer the deep sea.

A week later, the newspaper brought by the Newsbird made them all feel relieved, and then the news further strengthened their beliefs.

The whereabouts of the Straw Hat Pirates are unknown. Captain "Straw Hat" Monkey D. Luffy reappeared in the Shampoo Islands after a week and successfully escaped from the navy stationed on the island.

Was it a provocation to the government to show up so blatantly at the scene of the attack on the Celestial Dragons?

No matter what outsiders guessed, the Straw Hats scattered around the world looked at the figure in the newspaper, the "3D2Y" that only friends could understand, and all knew what he meant.

It was originally agreed that they would wait three days for the Sunny to be coated, and then they would go to the Fish-Man Island [-] meters under the sea to reach the new world.

Now such a change suddenly occurs, but it is not a bad thing

Real strength is to calmly admit one's weakness, and to continue to practice for a more ambitious goal and surpass oneself.

So, make a promise

Two years later, when I become stronger, I will definitely come back to you

Continue the never-ending adventure

New World, Red Forth——

The tall red-haired man was holding a newspaper and lying on a bamboo lounge chair. The chair next to him was empty, except for the little blond girl who always stayed there.

He quickly glanced at the headlines about the Straw Hat Pirates, put the newspaper aside without knowing his emotions, and closed his eyes.

The note Seliu left for him clearly stated that the little girl set sail this time to find her brother.

The brother she once thought she had lost is on Luffy's ship

Seleu's handwriting was always graceful and graceful. She explained the situation briefly and apologized to Shanks for sneaking away. She seemed to be worried about the navy and felt that she would cause trouble to him. It took me a long time to explain.

The little girl is always stupid. As long as she opens her mouth, Shanks can immediately accompany her to the paradise to find her missing brother. When will he take the threat of the navy into his eyes?

Or do you think Seleustin is a problem?

Of course not, as long as Seliu is still with him, he will be more and more satisfied day by day, even if he does nothing, just like usual, the two of them are sitting together on the deck chair, blowing the sea breeze and basking in the sun

As long as she's here, anything will be fine

Shanks didn't know why Seleu's departure made him so sad, but he clearly understood that the girl with bright blond hair was different to him.

[I will never leave again, wait until I come back, Shanks]

Are these the last words she left?

Shanks tightened his grip on the light shell hanging on his waist and carefully stroked the lines on it with his fingers.

Silly girl, remember what you said

I'm waiting for you to come back

Then stay with me forever and never leave again
