To the end of the sea [One Piece]

From the moment he was born into this world, Vinsmoke Sanji knew that he was different from the other three brothers.

After Iji and Niji were born, a burst of crying broke out in the quiet delivery room.

Mother Sora was still in pain, and when she heard the cry, a burning light burst out in her eyes. But she was too weak, not to mention having an unborn child in her belly.

To Vinsmoke Gaj, the ruler of Germa, this represented the sound of a newborn baby's cries being nothing to cheer about.

He frowned and stared at Sanji, so that Yuji, who was born last, was completely ignored.

He obviously used the most advanced genetic modification technology to modify his sons, but this yellow-haired baby still behaved as weak as an ordinary child.

Crying, fear...these are synonymous with the weak. His child should be the most perfect weapon in the world, genetically modified to abandon those incompetent emotions. However, Sanji's birth made him unhappy from the beginning.

He turned to Sora, his own wife. The woman who had just given birth to her fourth child looked abnormally pale and was looking at him with an extremely calm look.

"Take good care of Madam." He left these words and strode out of the delivery room.

The maids took the little princes away one by one to feed them, but the weak woman on the bed struggled to reach out: "That child... that... child... let me take a look, can you..."

The maids looked at each other in confusion. The girl holding Sanji hesitated and motioned for the others to leave first.

The little baby with blond hair and curly eyebrows was placed next to its mother. The woman with similar long pale golden hair looked at him with the gentlest eyes in the world, as if that was all her sustenance.

succeeded...

Although the drug that resisted genetic modification almost destroyed her body, Vinsmoke Sora felt that everything was worth it when she saw Sanji's face full of tears.

Her child... must not be turned into a weapon devoid of human emotions.

A cracking and cold kiss gently fell on his forehead.

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

When Sanji grew up, he sometimes wondered where his self-taught chivalry, which had almost no bottom line for women, began.

But he knew very well that his dislike of men must have been deeply rooted in him since childhood.

The father who always scolded him with a sullen face for being a good-for-nothing, the three brothers who had no emotions but were born with the desire to bully others.

They taunted him sharply at his incompetence, and beat and kicked him in deserted corners of the castle.

The physical strength of genetically modified people is several times higher than that of ordinary children even at a young age, not to mention that every time there is a three-person fight.

The little boy curled up and used his arms to block his vitals with great skill. His back hit the hard and cold wall of the castle, and severe pain spread throughout his body.

"This waste! What's the use of living in this world!"

"Hahahahaha, just beat him to death!"

"What's the point of killing him? Let's just keep him for fun!"

"Sure enough, Niji is smarter!"

The dark side of children, which cannot be taught, is often more unconcealed than the hypocrisy of adults. They have little concept of life and death, and they often blurt out extremely vicious words without fully understanding the meaning behind them.

What's more, these are three monsters whose humanity has been removed from the depths of their genes.

But Kosanji didn't know this.

He always sheds tears while thinking, maybe he really is just not strong enough.

If you work harder and catch up with your brothers, maybe your father will no longer look at you like a piece of garbage.

Children who are so young are not old enough to understand the truth: some people are not yet qualified to be parents, but they have already brought their miserable children into this world.

So he only knew how to desperately find the reasons from himself and desperately wanted to get a little recognition from his father.

+ + +

And all the driving force that supports Sanji's healthy growth should be his mother.

Before having the dream of allblue, Sanji thought that the place he wanted to be the most in the world was in his mother's arms.

The woman with long pale blond hair would always gently reach out and stroke his hair, gently encouraging his little growth.

When she saw the scars all over his body, her eyes would fill with tears. She would turn her head and try not to cry in front of him, and then call the maid to bandage him.

Sanji was so afraid of his mother's tears.

So he quickly learned to hide the wounds secretly, and asked the kind-hearted maid sister to treat the wounds for him. When he thought he couldn't see it anymore, he would go to his mother.

Sora was powerless to change her husband's education for their children. She risked her life to save Sanji's emotions, which was her limit. So she could only cry silently in her heart, turning a blind eye to Sanji's poor cover-up.

She could only treat him with all her tenderness, hoping that this child would grow up well and have a happy future.

But she's just... so weak.

Whether it is genetic modification or resistance drugs, they are terrible means that can destroy a person's body functions. And mother's greatest love allowed her to inject both of these into her body.

Sometimes, she would listen to Sanji talking to her, and she would start coughing violently mid-sentence. At this time, the maid who had already been instructed came forward and coaxed the struggling Sanji to leave first.

Sometimes she would tell Sanji a bedtime story, but she would lose her voice halfway through the story.

Sanji cried and called the maids. They would tell him that the lady fell asleep because she was too tired. Please go to bed first, Your Highness.

Adults always think they can deceive children, but in fact they never do. Sanji knew that his mother was not asleep, but fainted.

He lived a life like hell every day, and he was still worried in the only paradise, fearing that one day his mother would really fall asleep.

It's the kind of sleep that... never wakes up from.

So he began to learn to cook for his mother. Although he was still young, he felt unprecedented enthusiasm the moment he stood in front of the stove.

He gave his mother the meal he cooked for the first time. It was raining that day, so he wore a raincoat and carried it to his mother in the rain, but most of it got wet.

He apologized to his mother guiltily and uneasily, looking at her anxiously. Sora gave him a gentle smile and ate it all.

"It's delicious, Sanji." She smiled and touched his head, "Mom likes it very much."

The little boy's eyes shone with joy, and he ignored the incomprehensible expressions of the maids around him.

It's such a mushy thing... It's a shame that Madam can eat it without changing her expression.

Sora's body is getting depressed day by day, and her chances of seeing Sanji are becoming increasingly rare. So Sanji worked harder to practice his cooking skills, hoping that when he occasionally saw his mother, he could let her eat his best cooking.

This positive effort is nice, but it just shouldn’t be in Germa’s kitchen.

Gaji soon discovered Sanzi's stupid behavior, and he was so disappointed that he beat Sanji half to death on the training ground that day.

"You belong to the royal family! You are my son!!" He shouted coldly, "How can you do such a lowly thing of serving others!"

Sanji was lying on the ground, his vision was black, and he could no longer feel pain or coldness.

He just thought, why?

Why can he never get his father's love...

He has had unrealistic fantasies about Gaji from beginning to end, and has always deceived himself into thinking that one day he can become the father he longed for.

Therefore, such innocence will eventually be shattered by his own hands.

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

In the end, Sora couldn't continue to grow up with the son she had devoted all her hopes to.

She died with unfinished care for Sanji.

Poor Sanji cried bitterly. He couldn't imagine how he would live without his only safe haven.

In the painful days, there are no more gentle hands and gentle kisses.

Before he was ready to grow up, the roof had collapsed on him.

Soon, a diagnosis from a Germa scientist made arrangements for his future.

After Gaji saw that the diagnosis result was that Sanji did not have any modified genes, he fell into deep thought.

All he wants is the most perfect weapon, and his royal family of Germa will become the strongest ruler on the sea in the future. And the failure that broke his plan was just an ordinary child...

He cannot accept his existence.

It was like a slap on his face. The dignified head of the Vinsmoke family could not bear such a stain.

But after all, he himself is not a genetically modified person, so he cannot kill his son.

So after thinking about it, he gave an order to his men.

+ + +

Sanji would never forget that day.

He was roughly picked up by the usually indifferent but at least respectful guards. No one paid attention to him no matter how much he cried, and they put a heavy, cold iron hood on him.

The thin child was so frightened that he looked out from the narrow gap while crying, trying to find someone who could save him, or someone who could explain all this to him.

Then, he saw the man he was nominally called "father".

He sighed and said callously: "Lock him up."

Sanji just couldn't understand it! The person who did such a thing turned out to be his father!

"Father..." he called him sobbing, "why..."

"From now on, I will declare to the public that you are dead." The man said heartbreaking words without a trace of emotion, "Sanji, from now on you will live in the dungeon."

He was pulled back, and Sanji fluttered violently, trying to escape like crazy, but in the end he watched in despair as the fence locked in front of his eyes.

"Wait a minute!!!" He shook the railing desperately, with a hoarse cry in his voice, "Let me out!!! I don't want... I don't want to stay here!!"

However, no one paid any attention to him and they quickly left in a hurry.

In the dead silence and cold darkness, Sanji finally heard the crushing sound somewhere in his heart.

He can no longer remember how he spent the first night. He only remembers countless nights of fear that would drive people crazy. In the end, he cried and called his mother and fell asleep exhausted.

I'm going to die, Mom.

He will die here.

In that case, will I see you...
