El Gallo sat down very calmly and began to enjoy this exclusive breakfast.

festival only

The blond man watched the bustling scene in the bar silently, feeling extremely tired.Due to the advent of Halloween, all commercial places have been put on costumes for the occasion, including pumpkins, candles, bats, and all kinds of ghosts and ghosts.The same goes for the bar he's in now.While parties and such are usually something to be happy about, today I couldn't be happier.He closed his eyes and put on a calm expression.

One thing can't be said, even if it's true - he can see real ghosts and ghosts.

How should I put it, it is probably related to his childhood experience.Once he almost died in a shipwreck, and since then, Sanji has been able to see all kinds of strange things.As he became more sensible, he became more aware that some things should not exist in this world.For example, the color blocks flying lightly in mid-air, the fur ball with one eye and one foot bouncing around, and the guy with the big head on wheels walking around, and the Pegasus with eight legs, all of them are not normal. biology.Although...they are not bad things, they just belong to two different worlds, but in this world, such creatures are all "heretics".

Sanji feels very heartbroken every time he goes to this kind of festival.Of course, it's because the two worlds celebrate the festival together, so it's okay for ordinary humans to be lively and lively, but the evildoers are even more rampant, jumping up and down, and are a hundred times more energetic than usual.People on both sides were happy, but he was an ordinary person who could see every detail clearly.

"Hahahaha it's done! How is it?" Usopp's laughter came.The blond man turned his head and took a look. At the request of the boss, Usopp was drawing cool and stylish Halloween special decorations for the wall, and Chopper and Franky next to him gave him various compliments.In any case, it is estimated that I am the only one who feels troubled, and the happy ones always account for the vast majority.

Ignorance is also a kind of happiness, this is really true.Thinking of this, Sanji tossed a cigarette into his mouth.

A Halloween PARTY will be held in the bar tonight.Everyone is asked to dress up to participate.Thinking of his appearance as a blond man, he couldn't help but shake his head. It's time to put on a pumpkin hat... It's almost time to prepare snacks.Although it is a bar, what kind of Halloween party is a party without ghost snacks? !

Just when he was about to get up and go to the back kitchen, he suddenly saw a strange man walk in.It is not yet the official business hours, except for a few friends who are preparing for the party, there should be no guests coming to the door.Of course, this is not the reason why the blond man stopped.The problem is that he stared at him as soon as he entered the door. What does this mean... What do you mean?

The man was wearing a soft white hat, and a black suit with bright gold skull patterns embedded on his body.The dark circles under his eyes were serious, and he didn't know how many days he had lacked sleep, but those dark golden eyes were really attractive, like some kind of amber.It should be said that these eyeballs impressed him more than his clothes or anything else.He didn't come over, just stood at the place where the bar entered, very quietly.Everyone else was busy with their work... No one seemed to notice that someone had walked in.

This guy was so human that Sanji didn't even think about it the other way until the guy walked straight into the wall and disappeared.The blond man suddenly felt that his heart was not very good.Being able to maintain the state of a normal person is naturally because he can easily distinguish the difference between the two worlds.But that, that thing, that guy... whatever he was, was just too human.If he really leaned over to say something hastily, would Usopp and the others think he was crazy—chatting into the air or something?

The blond man took a deep puff of his cigarette, reminding himself to be 120 times more careful in the future, and then went to the kitchen.

Three hours later, the lights were blurred, and the atmosphere of the Halloween Party was lively. Ordinary humans were all wearing ghost masks, wearing death robes, holding crystal balls, and holding severed hands. It was really a scene of demons dancing wildly.

Hey, this is the rhythm of the real dance of demons, okay? !Those guys are mixed among normal people, and they all look happy.I have to say that the atmosphere in the bar is amazing, or it may be that Usopp's painting style is amazing, and the nearby monsters and ghosts can't wait to come over to join in the fun.At first glance, there is no place to set foot in this room, and there are some strange goods stacked next to each other like stitches.It was one thing to be able to see, quite another to let oneself pass through those creatures.Sanji really doesn't have such a special preference.

"Sanji-kun, are you alright?" The orange-haired goddess who looked like a pumpkin witch came over to greet her tonight.He has never been so quiet in the past.

Received Jinkou condolences from the goddess, the blond man was immediately full of energy, and knelt down on one knee to offer her a purple rose with a black bat wrapped around it. "Aaah, Nami-san who took the initiative to care about people is so dazzling! I know you must be worried about me, I swear there is no problem, Nami-san! I just want to find some time to smoke a cigarette."

Seeing Nami go back and continue to fight with other people, Sanji came back to his senses and lit a cigarette for himself.

Suddenly, there was nothing in front of him, and layers upon layers of demons and ghosts flashed their way out.The blond man stared blankly at all this, and then he saw the man sitting at the bar across the road.Although he was a stranger, it should be said that he was not that unfamiliar, because he had met once a few hours ago—that person with eyes as beautiful as amber.

He got up and walked up to himself through the bar's eerie lights and ghost-dressed humans and real ghosts.He didn't say anything, just sat down beside Sanji with a glass of wine.

Wearing a straw hat in a place like a bar is quite unnatural, but if it's Luffy, it's not unnatural at all.That kid jumped out from some corner, and sat down next to Sanji, of course the other side.Just as the blond man was about to talk to him, Luffy suddenly leaned out, looked at the position on the other side of Sanji, and pointed to ask. "your friend?"

"Ah?"

"Let's chat, I'm going to play!"

"Ah?" The blond man sat on the wax now.Isn't that guy non-human?According to his cognition, people here cannot see the things in the other world.Obviously, the guy next to him has gone far beyond his own cognition.what can we do about it?

He glanced sideways.The guy was also looking at himself.

"Who the hell are you?"

The man smiled. "It's hard for me to come here." Seeing Sanji's puzzled look, he smiled again, "Only during festivals..." He casually ordered the bar, "It's usually very well managed strict."

"Managed? By what?"

"Four Emperors. Because I am Shichibukai, I am qualified to come here."

"..." Do you understand?Sanji pondered for a while with his head sideways, and pointed at the densely packed strange creatures jumping around in front of him. "They seem to be much lower than your level, don't they all have such qualifications?"

"They were originally in the blue ocean."

"..." I didn't understand even more.Forget it, the blond man decided to change the subject, which was also a matter he cared more about. "Then why did you come to me?"

"Because you have a special "field", I followed it.It is not easy to find a human being like you.Because with the others... there is nothing to talk about. "

I and others have nothing to say about these things that should be seen as if they were not seen, Sanji thought.

The man glanced at the time and took a sip of the wine in his glass. "I'm going back in 10 minutes."

"Then what did you come to see me for?" Is it just to say hello and say a few words in Martian language?

"If you have a chance next time, come and walk with me. If you want to know more about this world, many things we don't have there."

"Maybe, if you can still find me." What's worse, he seems to be quite interested in strange things that he doesn't understand.

"Of course I can find it. I will keep up with your "field" and you won't get lost... What's your name? "

"Sanji."

The man raised his head, drank the last drop of wine in the glass, and gently put the glass on the table.He stood up, straightened his hat, lowered his head and stared at Sanji with those dark golden eyes.Watching the man raise the corner of his mouth again, Sanji suddenly felt that this man's smile was evil and very good-looking, not much different from people in this world, but somehow different.

"Trafalgaroo. See you next time."

Color for You

As he opened the door, Trafalgaro had the feeling that he was a groom about to break into his bride's dressing room.He couldn't tell exactly how anxious and joyful he should be, but the only thing he could be sure of was that what was waiting for him in front of him must be a heart-shattering dream.

The beauty sitting at the table has already seen the coming person clearly from the makeup mirror.It's useless to escape, although I really want to, because I will go to a reception with this guy next time.

It all started with that invitation.Sent by a gray and white albatross, invited to Trafalgaro by name, allowed to bring
