Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 922 Reiju
Cake Castle, Infirmary.

When Reiju opened her eyes, she found herself lying in a white ward full of the smell of disinfectant. After slowly sitting up, she saw Sanji, who was wet all over, sitting on a chair not far away, lighting a lamp. Cigarettes, "Sanji..."

"Hmm...", Sanji responded in a low voice, and continued to light a cigarette with a lighter with his head down.

Just as Reiju was about to move her legs, she felt severe pain in her left leg. When she looked down at the bandage on her leg, she vaguely remembered something, "My leg... by the way, I'm in the castle While walking around, I came across a group of soldiers shouting to catch 'intruders', and then I got sucked in..."

"You must feel something is wrong, after all, the memory has been tampered with..."

"Hey?"

"What happened, I will tell you..."

After telling Reiju what he saw, Sanji worriedly looked at Reiju who was sitting silently on the bed, "Do you believe me..."

"Of course, you won't lie to me..." Reiju smiled, and then said with a sigh, "But I didn't expect such a thing, Brin... this girl is too good, so I just asked around..."

"She didn't intend to marry me at all, but wanted to kill me directly..." Sanji looked at his hands tremblingly, and then covered his face and cried in pain, "Then I will marry obediently, Lu The fact that they can be saved by flying them has never been established from the beginning!! I thought that as long as I sacrificed myself, everything would be healed!! It’s just a dream!!”

"Father... is a bit too self-important this time, but for us, this is also a good opportunity..." Reiju paused, and then said surprisingly, "I think GERMA should be destroyed again !!"

"!!!", Sanji stared at her dumbfounded, as if he couldn't believe what she said.

As if she didn't see his shocked expression, Reiju continued, "We just pretended we didn't notice and let everything go as BIGMO imagined."

After recovering suddenly, Sanji shouted loudly, "What are you talking about?!! You will die too! Reiju!!"

"..." Because of his words, Reiju looked surprised on his face, looked at him quietly for a while before saying, "Oh? Are you worried about me?"

Reiju knew what he was thinking when she saw his expression, she just smiled and said, "The last memory is really troublesome, I helped you before, but you don't need to be grateful. You just follow the Straw Hat Boy Let's escape from here together, Sanji."

"Ah?!", Sanji couldn't keep up with her words for a while, and then he said excitedly after a moment of stupefaction, "That kind of thing...even if I can escape successfully...what about BARATIE?"

"Wait until you really escape and think of a way. If you stay here, you will die." Reiju smiled, and then said with emotion, "There is one thing I will never forget, that is, father It was only after that heated argument with my mother that it dawned on me what their argument meant."

"?!", Sanji didn't understand why she suddenly brought up the past, but he just listened quietly.

"Mother, she is strongly opposed to turning the four of you who are about to be born into emotionless machines. Mother doesn't want her children to become human beings without hearts, but father thinks it doesn't matter even if they become machines, as long as they can Just fight. And because they are his children, they should be endowed with the strongest power..." Thinking of the fierce quarrel at that time and her mother's expression of despair, Reiju pursed her lips for a while before continuing, "In the end, the operation was forced to be carried out, but at present, in order to stop the father's ambition, he took the medicine, which is powerful enough to affect the controlled bloodline gene..."

"Ah..." Sanji looked at Reiju in a daze when he heard the past that had never been mentioned.

"However, my mother's efforts did not have much effect. The bodies of my younger brothers gradually became superhuman, but except for you, you gradually grew up in a human posture..." Thinking of my mother at the time Speaking of Sanji's happy look when he comforted her, and thinking of Sanji's innocent childlike appearance when he fed the small animals when he was a child, Reiju smiled slightly.

"Then... she is because of me..."

"Don't think so!! Mother is very happy from the bottom of her heart! There is no regret at all!! But father does not allow this to happen, he pushes everything on you, making you feel miserable... ...", Reiju looked at him seriously, and said seriously, "You are not a failure, the mother resisted with all her might, the child who was born with emotion and was finally guarded. That is you, Shan Zhi... That's why you are kind and gentle than anyone else..."

"!!!", Sanji looked at her in disbelief,
"Abandon Germa, run away, Sanji! Germa is just a destroyer who refuses to give up the glory of the past! This world does not need Germa, what Big Mom wants is our technological power. She should not be interested in your benefactor's life, The father who took BARATIE hostage and your other brothers will be killed tomorrow, this is what they deserve, they are an out-and-out murderous group."

Hearing this, Sanji shouted emotionally, "I too... only have malice towards those guys!! But why do you even have to be buried with you!!"

"Although I also have emotions, I have been transformed into an accomplice who cannot disobey my father's orders. My hands are already dirty, and I should die..." Reiju said as if it had nothing to do with it, and then she looked at Sanji The bracelet on his hand, said, "I forgot to say something, that bracelet will not explode at all, I changed it secretly. Is there any reason why you can't leave this island?"

"..." Sanji looked at her blankly, but didn't know what to say.

"Cheer up! Sanji!! Face up to the things that are truly precious to you!" Reiju shouted, with slightly moist eyes, "You will never meet again in this life, like them Great partner!!"

"..." Sanji stared blankly at the emotional man, then just clenched his fists tightly.

Of course he knew they were great partners, but he...

It was still raining on Cake Island, and the sticky maltose rain fell on the hard creamy ground, while the sweet and cloying aroma filled the air.The sky had begun to darken, although at first it was dark because of the overcast clouds in the sky.

On an unobtrusive balcony on the third floor, a petite figure was hiding in a corner. Large and small raindrops fell on her body, but they all turned into transparent crystal solids.

After confirming that the troublesome guy didn't follow, Anke breathed out, reached out to pat the crystal maltose accumulated on the brim of the straw hat, and then stood up, "Really, I wasted a lot of time."

After taking out a map and looking at it, she took another look at the complex and huge cake castle.After reaching out and rubbing her left eye, whose eyesight had recovered a bit, she turned over from the balcony and rushed towards the room where Luffy and the others were located according to the map.

Although there is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the castle, and there is no way to use illusion, it will be a bit troublesome.But if you want to avoid those patrolling people, it's still easy.

After stabilizing himself with crystals, Encore, who was hanging from the ceiling, watched the row of chess players pass by in an orderly manner.Frowning slightly, he thought to himself, 'It seems that the message I called Katakuri just now was suppressed, but this is also good, it saves my time.Still, we can't let too many people know that we sneaked into the cake castle,'

When the team of chess players left, she jumped down, and after running for a short time, she saw an acquaintance around the corner.

The huge blue murloc suddenly saw someone appearing, and subconsciously wanted to be on the alert, but found that it was the ragged Encore, "Little baby???"

"Master Jinpei???", Anke was also surprised to see Jinpei here, and soon figured it out, and said with a smile, "Thank you for coming, Master Jinpei."

"I heard that Luffy and the others were all arrested, so I came in to take a look." Jinbei looked around and found that she was the only one, and couldn't help asking, "Little baby, where are Luffy and the others?"

"I got separated from them, now go to find them. Jinbe-sama, do you know where they are?"

"It should be at the prisoner's library, let me lead the way!" Jinbe, who is more familiar with the cake castle, immediately led the way, and asked her about her embarrassed appearance, "Little baby, why did your clothes become like this? "

"On the way here, I met a very troublesome person. In order to escape quickly, I tore off the cumbersome skirt." An Ke puffed up and said with some regret, "I liked that skirt at first. of it."

"Haha, just buy it when the time comes." Jinbe smiled, and then continued, "But I just heard that Brin seems to have gone to the prisoner's library."

"Really? That's just right, I just wanted to find her." Anke chuckled and ran to Jinbe's side, "Speaking of which, Master Jinbe, I heard some rumors about you on Cake Island ,Are you OK?"

"Is it about the matter of using a roulette to extract lives? I haven't agreed yet, because there are other things that need to be dealt with."

"So that's the case. If this is the case, will they let you in?"

"Anyway, the castle is in chaos now, and no one knows when I come in."

"But it's great to have you here to help, I'm still being hunted down~"

"But those guys shouldn't be in your way, little baby, hahaha~~" Speaking of this, Jinbe couldn't help laughing.

"That's right~"

Prisoner's Library.

In the quiet library, only Opera Chow was reading a book and guarding the book that locked Luffy and Nami.The children of BIGMOM have their own missions and did not appear here. Even if they have the same blood relationship, they are not so close.

What's more, at this juncture, no one dared to relax, lest there be someone who might ruin tomorrow's wedding.If anything goes wrong in tomorrow's wedding, BIGMOM will be mad.

Luffy and Nami were locked in a prison on a certain page of the book, and their hands were nailed to the wall with sugar nails.And Opera Chow, who was thinking that it was impossible for them to escape from the book, ignored them, quietly looking at the book in his hand.

Nami looked sideways at the captain who had been sitting there silently with his head down, and whispered guiltily, "I'm sorry, Luffy, it's all my fault, I'm too weak..."

"It's not your fault, Nami." The hands stared at by Tang Nai slowly clenched into fists, and Luffy said in a suppressed voice, "It's my fault, I made her surrender..."

"No! It's because I'm too weak that I let you be caught by them! Otherwise, how could you be caught by those guys with your abilities?!", Nami shouted emotionally As he spoke, tears of pain streamed all over his face.

"It's not your fault, Nami. It's just that everyone is careless." Luffy took a breath, and then said to her with a smile, "And don't worry, Anke is fine, she is coming this way now Woolen cloth."

"really?"

"Of course, if Encore said she will be fine, then she will be fine~" Luffy comforted her with a smile, and pressed his worries to the bottom of his heart.

"It would be great if Anke was okay..." Although she was still very worried, Nami was a little relieved when she heard what the captain said, but she still blamed herself.

At this time, the door of the library was pushed open by a chess player, and then Brin walked in.

Brin looked at the two people locked in the book prison, and then said to Opera Cura who was sitting on the sofa, "Brother Opera Claude, can I have a few words with Luffy and the others over there?"

"Luffy?" Opera Cake looked at the captured pirate over there, and then at Brin. Although she didn't know what she wanted to do, she didn't think too much, just nodded, "Yes."

"Then clip the bookmark in~" A chess player held a white bookmark and placed it in front of the cage. After pulling it a little, the iron pillar of the cage revealed an entrance for people to enter and exit.

Brin walked in and said apologetically, "Luffy, Nami, you were attacked, right? Did my brothers and sisters do something too much to you? I'm really sorry...I didn't I’m sorry for the business that went to the coast to meet you according to the agreement!…”

"..." Nami looked at her face full of guilt, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd.But seeing her heavy and painful expression, the soft-hearted Nami said subconsciously, "It's nothing, it's not yours..."

"Nami." Luffy just interrupted her in a low voice, but didn't say much except calling her name.
Brin knelt down and spoke in the voice of only a few of them, apologetically and happily, "Sanji-san... proposed to me, I'm really happy~~ But, that's just his kindness and kindness to me. Be considerate, it's all my fault for causing everyone such pain..."

Immediately, she frowned, and said with a smile, "But don't worry, because I won't get married."

"Huh?" Seeing the rapid change in her expression, Nami froze for a moment, wondering what she was pointing at.

"..." Luffy just looked at the innocent person with a gloomy face, and remained silent.
"Because, listen to me~~", Brin knelt down and approached them, lowered his voice, and said happily, "I will shoot him to death at the wedding~~~"

"!!!!!!", hearing the words spoken by the gentle voice, both Luffy and Nami's expressions changed drastically, and they looked at Brin still smiling gently and kindly in shock.

"You bastard!!", Luffy struggled to free his pinned hands, gritted his teeth and looked at Brin who was still smiling like an angel.

"Don't be so surprised, you guys will go with him tomorrow~" Brin said with a soft smile, and looked at Luffy meaningfully, "Besides, I don't believe your deputy The captain didn't tell you anything. That woman is like me, but you may not be able to see it, after all, no one knows my true face except my family~"
