Putting aside the impact of the wanted order on the Straw Hat Pirates and the rest, in Luffy's opinion, nothing is as important as the banquet.

By the swimming pool in the City of Seven Waters, Sanji was busy cooking meat on the grill. In addition to the Franky family who had already come here after hearing the news, the boatmen of Carrera Company, Grandma Cocoro and the kitten Kunbei, people who came to attend the banquet were still coming here in a steady stream.

"Yoshi! There's a party!"

In the singing, people put aside all worries, eat, drink, play and laugh to their heart's content.

As the sky gradually darkened, Sanji exhaled and piled a batch of freshly roasted meat on the plate. He didn't feel tired at all, and he was extremely satisfied after seeing people's smiling faces after eating the food he cooked.

"Huh?" Sanji's eyes fell on Alicia and paused. She was also observing the crowd with her chin propped up. Her unsmiling face looked out of place with the people around her. When Zimoni ran to her and said something, a smile briefly appeared on her face. When Zimoni left, she returned to her expressionless face.

Alicia, who was being watched by Sanji, raked her hair in annoyance and simply left the table and walked out.

The noisy crowd was isolated behind Alicia by a wall. She sat down against the wall and after struggling for a long time, she took out the life card belonging to Ace from her backpack.

"Sure enough..." Alicia squeezed the life card that started to burn, and the corners of her mouth drooped. "That idiot."

"Little Alicia?"

When she heard someone calling her, Alicia put away her life card and showed a nonchalant smile to the visitor.

"It turns out to be Sanji."

"I knew you would be here." Sanji held a plate of barbecue and a glass of juice in one hand and put the other hand in his trouser pocket. He walked slowly to Alicia and placed the tray in front of her, and he was next to her. Sit down, "Try the hot grilled meat. Come and try it."

"Ah, thank you." Alicia grinned as she thanked her. She silently picked up a skewer of barbecue and gnawed it. Seeing that she didn't know how to eat, Sanji asked:

"What's wrong? Does it taste bad?"

"No." Alicia came back to her senses and smiled quickly, "I'm sorry, Sanji. The barbecue is delicious, but I was thinking about other things."

"..." Sanji sighed in discomfort and reached out to touch the cigarette, "If you don't want to laugh, you don't have to laugh."

"What are you talking about, Sanji." Alicia, who originally wanted to deny it, turned her head and saw Sanji looking seriously into her eyes, knowing that the other party had actually seen through her true emotions, "I was discovered... I'm sorry, I can’t really laugh right now.”

"No need to apologize to me for this kind of thing, little Alicia, everyone is unhappy sometimes."

"But I don't want my friends to worry about me, but I'm too weak to laugh at all." Alicia looked down at the grass, looking like she was about to cry, "I feel so uncomfortable, my heart is beating so fast." Soon."

"Is your heart feeling uncomfortable? Then let me help you call Chopper."

"No, Sanji. It's because I'm too uneasy."

Alicia's words made Sanji, who was about to get up to find Chopper, sit back down again. He touched the pendant in his pants pocket, took a deep breath and decided to confess.

"Little Alicia, I have one thing to apologize to you for. In fact, today, I was outside the kitchen when you were talking to Grandpa Luffy. I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I..."

"I'm not sad because of that. I don't care about my parents. It may sound cold-blooded, but I don't remember them at all, so naturally I can't talk about any feelings."

Sanji stopped when he was about to take out the pendant.

"For me, it doesn't matter even if the important family members are not related by blood. Grandpa, Ace, and Luffy are all my cherished relatives." Alicia pursed her lips as she said this, pulled out the roots of the grass with her hands, and spoke for a long time. Then he continued, "But I have no confidence now. Can I really protect my loved ones? When they need me to save them, am I really capable of defeating the enemies who stand in my way? I don't want to see that at all. Someone I hold dear dies.”

"So that's it..." Sanji lit the cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke, "But little Alicia, your anxiety is actually unnecessary. Isn't Luffy's grandfather a vice-admiral? And he was also the famous naval hero. , must be very powerful, right? So is Ace. The last time I saw him, he was so strong that I am still impressed. As for Luffy, we have always been sailing together. If we really encounter danger, we will definitely be able to rely on each other. You have overcome the difficulties, right? Isn’t Judiciary Island the best proof this time?”

Alicia rested her chin on her knees, tilted her head and listened quietly to Sanji's consolation, and didn't make a sound until he stopped.

"You're so gentle, Sanji."

"Eh?" Sanji was stunned. He didn't expect that he would be praised just by saying a few ordinary words of comfort.

"What? Sanji doesn't know? He's super gentle."

"Ah, ah, I'm not sure." Sanji stammered in reply.

"I sometimes think that it would be better if Sanji wasn't so gentle, otherwise I would fall in love with Sanji."

Sanji didn't expect to hear these words from Alicia at all. His eyes widened, and the cigarette fell from his mouth and fell on his pants, burning him so hard that he jumped up and shook the cigarette away.

"Hey, you won't have such a big reaction, right?" Alicia raised her eyebrows and looked at Sanji who jumped up speechlessly.

"Ah, no, no, it's smoke, ah, that..." Sanji waved his hands incoherently, and finally gave up explaining in frustration and sat back on the grass.

"But I don't want to like Sanji at all."

Sanji was even more frustrated now.

"Although Sanji often shouts that he likes, loves, and loves the girls on the boat, the Sanji who shouts like that every time is not true. He can shout like that to any woman. If you like Sanji like this , I might cry. If I cry, Sanji will also be very distressed, right?"

"Don't worry, little Alicia, no lady will really like a guy like me." Sanji bent his eyes and smiled bitterly. "Little Alicia must also..."

"That's not the case." Alicia hit Sanji on the head with a barbecue skewer. "Sanji obviously has many attractive advantages - good cooking skills, good hygiene, and always treats female gentlemen first. A person discovers other people's emotions, and comforts them even if he is in a bad mood. He is super gentle, has strong empathy, has a soft heart, is a good fighter, and has a smart mind..."

Every time Alicia mentioned a good point, Sanji's head dropped a little lower, and in the end he covered his face with his hands, his ears burning badly. Alicia didn't realize it. After naming all Sanji's advantages, she said confidently:

"So, Sanji, don't say those words to me or do those things that will make me misunderstand. In front of people I trust, my heart is super weak and I have no resistance at all. I just want to change now Strong, become stronger.”

"Hey! Sanji! Where are you? I want to eat barbecue!"

"Luffy is calling me!"

"Then go quickly."

Inside the wall, Luffy was still shouting for Sanji to grill him. Sanji stood up in a hurry, not daring to look at Alicia's face, and ran away.

The sound of Sanji's footsteps gradually faded away, and Alicia poked the grass with the iron string in her hand. After a while, she threw away the iron string, patted her butt and stood up.

"Well, it's useless to worry about things. If that day comes, and my weapon color still can't be equipped with magic skills, then I'll just knock Ace out. In short, we must rescue Ace alive. "
