[One Piece] She comes from a private server

"Sanji, I don't hate you, I'm just angry." Alicia turned to look at Sanji, who looked confused and distressed. She took a deep breath and turned her sights to the sea again. "Well, he's a fool, that's right."

"Little Alicia..."

"On Enel's Ark, you blocked his attack for me, right?"

"Ah, um."

"I should thank you for your protection at that time, but no matter how I think about it, I am still angry, and the more I think about it, the more angry I am."

"Because I pushed you? But at that time-"

"Not for that trivial reason!" Alicia raised her voice and glared at Sanji with her eyebrows twisted, "Do you really think I couldn't avoid Enel's attack at that time?"

Sanji was stunned and kept silent while holding a cigarette in his mouth.

"Sanji, you are underestimating yourself. Not only that, you are also underestimating me." Alicia's words were stern, and she could not be more serious. "I respect your chivalry and understand your dedication, but Sanji That doesn't mean I agree 100%. If you blindly bear the enemy's attack for me next time, I will really hate you."

Seeing Sanji's depressed expression, Alicia felt a little soft-hearted and wondered if she might have spoken too harshly. When she spoke again, her tone softened involuntarily.

"We are partners, right? Not only do you want to protect us, we also want to protect you. Give us a chance occasionally."

Sanji remained motionless. He didn't know whether he was petrified or because he was troubled by Alicia's words. Alicia curled her lips, simply lay back on the beach, closed her eyes and stopped talking.

A few minutes later, there was a rustling sound next to Alicia. She opened her eyes and saw that Sanji was also lying down on the beach, looking at her with his head tilted and a smile on his face.

"Thank you." Seeing Alicia open her eyes, Sanji said, "Because few people tell me this directly, it took me some time to understand. I'm very happy, but let me explain, I was I definitely didn’t mean to look down on you, I just—”

"Conditioned reflex?"

"That's right." What he was about to say was snatched away by Alicia, and Sanji didn't care at all. "How could I underestimate you, little Alicia, so don't be angry. It was just my subconscious reaction."

"That means you will do it again next time."

"Ah, I can't help it, hahaha." Sanji laughed a few times, "I was born to protect the lady."

"So all my words were in vain?"

"No, I listened. But if little Alicia encounters danger, I will still come forward without hesitation." Sanji thought for a while and added, "Of course, when you encounter real danger, when."

"If that time comes, of course you have to come and save me quickly, otherwise I will die." Alicia rolled her eyes and finally felt in the mood to joke.

"Have you calmed down now, little Alicia? If you haven't calmed down yet, I can sing to you~"

"No, I'm hungry." Alicia got up from the gravel, "I'm going back to the Mellie for dinner."

"What do you want to eat, little Alicia? No matter what you want to eat, I can cook it for you~" Sanji also got up and diligently carried Alicia's skates for her. "The lunch I made before has probably been eaten by Luffy." The guy is done eating.”

"He's Luffy after all - as long as it's not broccoli and ketchup, I'm fine with that."

"Happy to serve you~"

"Speaking of which, I thought I heard someone singing when I was sleeping. Is it Sanji?"

"Yes, little Alicia, do you like it?"

"Weird song."

"Eh? Little Alicia doesn't like it?"

"I just find it strange, I didn't say I didn't like it."

"Really? I learned this song from the sailors when I was a trainee cook on the Orbit. I think it sounds good. Maybe if you hear me sing it again, little Alicia won't find it strange."

"Ah, Sanji, I want hot ramen."

“Little Alicia who changed the subject is so cute~”

Back on the Merry, lunch had indeed been finished. Judging from the white and reflective plates on the table, Luffy most likely licked the soup clean.

"You're such a careless guy, you should clean up the dishes after dinner." Sanji muttered and put the tableware on the table into the bucket. He put on his apron and rolled up his sleeves and said to Alicia: "Sit down first. Wait a moment there, I’ll make hot ramen soon.”

"Has Sanji had lunch?" Alicia sat at the dining table and looked forward to it, paying attention to her companions.

"Not yet, but ladies always come first here." Sanji lit the fire and poured water into the pot.

"Actually, I think it's okay to eat spicy seafood pasta."

After being stunned for a moment, Sanji suddenly chewed a cigarette and showed a big smile to Alicia.

"My dear lady, please allow me to take the liberty of asking, how about we have spicy seafood hot ramen as a compromise for lunch?"

"Spicy seafood hot ramen? Hiss—" Alicia sucked her saliva and licked her lower lip, "Hmm, do it, do it, do it, I'm so hungry."

Two bowls of hot spicy seafood hot ramen were quickly brought to the table, and Alicia salivated looking at the steaming red soup in front of her.

"It looks delicious! Let's get started!"

Sanji held his chin up and waited until he watched Alicia take her first bite of ramen before he satisfactorily started eating the ramen in his bowl.

"It's super delicious, as expected of Sanji!" Alicia took a big mouthful of noodles and didn't forget to give the cook a thumbs up. "Sure enough, Sanji's cooking is the most delicious."

"So, even if you are angry with me from now on, don't cook secretly at night. There is no original sin in food."

"That's not okay. I have a lot of self-esteem when I'm angry." Alicia said plausibly.

"If little Alicia doesn't want to eat the food I cook, I will be very sad." Sanji pretended to be pitiful.

"Then don't make me angry from now on. It's not that difficult to do."

"That's too much, little Alicia."

"Sanji is the one who went too far. Think about it for me. If my cherished friend gets hurt because of me, I will cry. I really will cry."

"Alicia, so you are here!" Luffy suddenly poked his head in from outside the kitchen and drooled after seeing the two bowls of hot ramen on the dining table, "Ah! You two! You actually eat something delicious secretly Don’t call me!”

"You just had lunch, Luffy." Sanji quickly held down Luffy's restless hand. "Don't try to think about little Alicia's food."

"Are you looking for me?" Alicia deliberately shouted loudly to arouse the greed in Luffy's stomach.

"By the way, let me show you this!" Luffy became excited when he remembered his purpose of finding Alicia. He raised his hand holding a shell and punched the air. "Oh - Fire Fist!"

"Yanbei?"

"Yeah, awesome, right? Success in imitating Ace's challenge!" Luffy giggled and gestured to Alicia.

"Leave aside your nondescript imitation, where did you get Yan Bei?"

"Usopp gave it to me. How about it, Alicia? Did I look exactly like Ace just now?"

"Hey! Luffy! Did you take my fire shell away? Give it back to me quickly!" Usopp called out from outside the kitchen.

"Usopp gave it to you?" Alicia raised an eyebrow, "He doesn't seem to think so."

"What are you talking about? He gave it to me." Luffy turned away guiltily, his hand still free to touch the bowl of hot ramen, obviously he was still evil.

The next second, Luffy was thrown out of the kitchen by Sanji by his collar, and Sanji could vaguely be heard muttering dissatisfiedly.

"The atmosphere was so good just now, you bastard, don't come and cause trouble for me."

It's probably an auditory hallucination, right? Alicia picked her ears and continued eating ramen.
