good brother

The glass wine glass fell to the ground and cracked, and the falling cigarette butt extinguished in mid-air, leaving a wisp of blue smoke.

As for Sanji, his eyes were wide open, looking at Angel who was still smiling in disbelief.

Vinsmoke, a name he thought he would never hear again, broke into his world again when he least expected it.

"It seems that I know."

Angel was not surprised at all.

"Ah, I know..."

Sanji adjusted his mood, bowed his head and lit another cigarette.

"Stop playing around the bush, just tell me, does the Wen family want to find me?"

Sanji didn't have the slightest chance of luck, thinking that Angor might just ask casually, so he directly pointed to the topic very frankly.

But the tone and expression were not as friendly as before.

"Don't be so hostile."

Angel poked him with his elbow, with a reassuring smile on his face.

"It's true that the Wen family is looking for you, but it has nothing to do with me. I'm on vacation!"

Angel looked at Sanji seriously.

Sanji saw Angor, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly straighten his face, and his heart skipped a beat.

however……

"A navy on vacation is not a navy!"

"what?"

Sanji didn't react for a while.

"Hahaha, what I mean is, I'm not talking to you from the position of the Navy at all now."

Angor was still serious.

"Now I'm just Luffy's older brother, that's all."

"So, Sanji, let me ask you, do you have a clear conscience in hiding your life experience from Luffy and the others?"

Sanji looked at Angor's firm eyes, was silent for a long time, took a deep breath of cigarettes, and looked up at the dark night sky.

"I have a clear conscience."

The voice is calm and deep, but sonorous and powerful.

"I thought I had nothing to do with them, but if they really came up, I wouldn't drag Luffy and the others in."

"I promise."

"Really, then I can rest assured~"

Angel restored his smile after hearing Sanji's oath.

"However, it's not something you can stop by saying that it won't drag Luffy and the others in."

Angor patted his butt and stood up, winking at Sanji.

"I know that guy Luffy very well. Since you are on his boat, no one can pull you down."

"Then, I'm going to sleep ~ yawn - I'm so sleepy..."

Sanji watched Angor yawn and climb down the cabin, and was silent for a long time.

If it is really for Luffy, it is undoubtedly the safest way to hand him over to Germa directly.

But now, Angel didn't do anything, and went back to sleep peacefully after asking a question.

Do you really trust him, or...

However, since he is Luffy's older brother, no matter how he thinks about it, he is not a bad person.

So, trust him for now.

"Luffy, that guy actually has such a good brother... Lucky..."

That night, Sanji was sleepless all night.

The next day, the sea just started to reflect the sun, and Sanji had already entered the kitchen to prepare breakfast for everyone.

"Good morning, Sanji-san~ah, I've already started preparing breakfast, what is it?"

A familiar voice came from the door, Sanji turned around and saw Angel coming in while combing his hair.

"Sandwich, by the way, you got up really early."

Sanji was a little surprised.

After all, it's only around five o'clock. According to the normal people's schedule, they must still be sleeping soundly, but Angel doesn't feel sleepy at all.

"Haha, that's how the Navy's routine works. Morning exercises have already started on the playground at this time of day."

Angel rolled up his sleeves, walked to the side of the stove, and looked at Sanji with a smile.

"Do you need help? Although the best dishes are not particularly good at cooking, it's still a piece of cake to start a job~"

"Hey, it's not good, you are a guest after all."

"It's nothing~ You don't need to treat me as a guest, I'm your partner now, even though it's only been a month."

Angel found a handy kitchen knife and skillfully cut the meat.

At first, Sanji thought that Angor was at the level of an average person, but when he took a closer look, he found that Angor's ability to chop vegetables was quite good.

While the level of cutting vegetables is high, the level of cooking will not be low.

"I didn't expect you could really cook."

Sanji was surprised by this.

After all, Angel is the major general of the headquarters, and this status, in the world, would have to be confessed.

"Haha, even if I become a navy, I can't bear to let go of the skills I practiced when I was a child. I even asked our warship chef for advice."

After cutting a piece of meat, Angel rushed the knife.

"But in fact, I'm only good at one kind of dish, and I'm not much better than others."

"Eh? What?"

"Barbecue~"

"Barbecue?"

Sanji was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"I see.""

Because, Luffy...

Originally, barbecue was not considered a home-cooked dish, and he seldom ate it except for special occasions, but Angel was the best at barbecue, and there was only one reason for it.

Because Luffy loves to eat.

"That guy Luffy is really happy."

Sanji couldn't help sighing.

"It's not just Luffy~"

Angel's eyes shone softly.

"Me too, I'm really happy."

"Speaking of which, you look nothing like Luffy at all."

Sanji looked at Angor and asked suspiciously.

"Of course, we are not brothers after all."

"I'm just an orphan, and I was adopted by Luffy's family, so we grew up together, so we simply worshiped brothers, although it wasn't his family who raised us."

Angor smiled and finished cutting up the rest of the vegetables. Seeing that there was nothing to help, he found a place to sit down.

"Speaking of which, I thought you would hate me. After all, it seems that you mentioned the name you hate the most."

"It's nothing, I have nothing to do with them long ago, and you are just doing it for Luffy's own good."

Sanji said calmly, continuing to make his breakfast.

"To be honest, I am very envious of brothers like you who are not related by blood but can be so good."

This kind of family is exactly what Sanji misses and yearns for the most.

"Family, brother, etc., blood relationship is not important at all, and the form is not important."

Angor rested his chin and looked at Sanji's back.

"You are Luffy's partner now. Since you got on this ship, for Luffy, you can also be said to be a family member."

"Although Luffy is indeed reliable sometimes, but most of the time he does things without using his brain, like an idiot, so it doesn't matter if you take care of him like a younger brother~"

"In that case, how is it different from a real family?"

As an orphan, Angel never thought that blood relationship was so important.

He recognized that Grandpa Karp has three younger brothers with different surnames, and the younger brothers have also found their own destinations, and those who can be entrusted to the back can exist as family members.

His family is getting bigger and bigger, and almost no one in it maintains this hard-won bond by blood.

Because they want to be together, they want to be together. For Angel, this is family.
