Pirates: The ship's deputy is the biggest supporter of the Straw Hat Pirates

The sea breeze blows gently, the waves crash gently, and the Merry is sailing through the blue sea.

"Dragon Boat Festival?"

“Is that some special day!?”

On the deck, the girl with long orange hair sitting on a folding chair gently pressed down the sunglasses on her nose, turned her head and looked at Yi Chen who was also sitting on a folding chair basking in the sun and asked.

The girl slightly bent her right leg and then turned sideways to the left. She supported her face with her left hand and looked at Yi Chen in a sideways position, as if waiting for his answer.

whoosh-

"Nani~Nani~Are you going to tell a story? I want to listen too!!!"

Hearing this, Fenlufei, who was sitting on the bow, reached out his hand to the folding chair where Yichen was lying, and then flew towards Yichen.

bang——

As if Yi Chen had predicted that Luffy would do this, he stood up and left the folding chair before Luffy reached out his hand, causing Luffy and Yi Chen's folding chair to crash into the kitchen door.

"What are you doing again, Luffy!!!"

Hearing the noise, Sanji hurried out to see what was going on. As soon as he reached the door, he saw Luffy who had just stood up after falling to the ground, and then he couldn't help but ask.

"Wulusai! I can't even sleep." Zoro, who was awakened by the noise, got up and held his forehead, looking like he hadn't woken up yet and was a little grumpy.

"Luffy, you're such a jerk. Why do you keep banging your head against the wall or the door every day?" Usopp, who came down from the observation deck, couldn't help but complain.

"Yi Chen, your folding chair is broken, so just sit next to me. I also want to know what today's Dragon Boat Festival is like in your words, Brother Yi Chen."

Abisi patted the empty space next to her folding chair and said to Yi Chen with a chuckle.

"Holiday?" x3

Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp all had curiosity on their faces, as they didn't remember ever hearing of the Dragon Boat Festival.

"Is today a special day for you, Yichen?"

Sanji thought about it for a while and found that the Dragon Boat Festival was not a recognized festival, so he inferred that today was a special day for Yi Chen.

"Yes, today is indeed a special festival for me, no, for my hometown - the Dragon Boat Festival."

After listening, the few people did not say anything but wanted Yi Chen to continue speaking.

Seeing this, Yi Chen then told everyone the origin and traditional customs of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Ten minutes later~

"The above is the origin and traditional customs of the Dragon Boat Festival."

After listening, Sanji lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth. After taking a deep breath, he exhaled a puff of smoke:

"Although I don't like this style of wasting food, since it is for the sake of not sharing the corpse of someone you respect, it is understandable."

"That man named Qu Yuan is really a man worthy of respect!"

As he spoke, Sauron gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, then sighed softly, thinking: "If a country is destroyed, won't people just live in disgrace?"

After listening to this, Nami was also touched. If it weren't for Yi Chen and Luffy, would she have also jumped into the sea after the people in Cocosia Village were killed?

Snapped--

Just when a few people were still immersed in Qu Yuan's story, Yi Chen clapped his hands and pulled everyone's wandering minds back.

"Okay, let's get ready for the Dragon Boat Festival. I've prepared some suitable clothes for you!"

Yi Chen chuckled and said to everyone who had come back to their senses.

As he was speaking, Yi Chen took out clothes tailored for everyone from the space and handed them to everyone.

"Wow, that's awesome." Luffy, Nami, Usopp, and Abis exclaimed as they looked at the clothes in their hands.

Although Zoro didn't say anything, the upward curves in the corners of their mouths showed that they liked it too.

"Oh, and there are also rice dumplings..."

Before Yi Chen could finish his words, Sanji interrupted him and said, "There's really no other way. I'll try to make the rice dumplings you mentioned."

"Let me think about it. The main ingredient is glutinous rice, the fillings can be any combination, and there are seasonings, sweet and salty, and finally wrapped in rice dumplings leaves. That's right, right?"

Sanji smiled and looked at Yi Chen for confirmation.

Hearing this, Yi Chen nodded: "Thank you for your help, Sanji."

"What are you talking about? I'm the chef on this ship."

Sanji chuckled and headed towards the kitchen.

“I want something sweet!”

"I want meat filling!"

“I want orange filling!”

Abis, Luffy, and Nami said to Sanji who was walking towards the kitchen.

Hearing this, Sanji walked towards the kitchen and raised his hand to make an OK gesture.

Originally Yi Chen was planning to help, but was rejected by Sanji, who said that he was enough of a chef on the ship.

Ten minutes later, everyone changed their clothes and walked out of the room, except Sanji who was making rice dumplings in the kitchen.

Luffy was wearing a dark red short cheongsam (male cheongsam). The golden dragon pattern on the cheongsam seemed to be flying out and intertwined with the rice dumpling pattern.

The colorful ribbons on his straw hat fluttered in the wind.

Luffy stretched his head and connected it with his belly to form an irregular circle, looking at the pattern on his clothes: "Wow, this golden dragon is so handsome, so cool!"

Luffy ran around the ship happily.

Nami was wearing an emerald green dress, the hem of which was as light and flowing as a lotus leaf, and it was embroidered with lifelike patterns of rice dumplings and mugwort.

Nami swayed her body gently, looking at the dress swaying with her: "This dress is not only not troublesome but also very light."

Nami said, smiling at Yichen again, "Aligaduo, Yichen~ I like it very much." (*^w^*)

Zoro was wearing a short black Hanfu costume. The golden sword patterns on the clothes were as sharp as lightning, which contrasted with the rice dumpling pattern.

He had a golden belt around his waist with a small rice dumpling pendant hanging on it, which swayed gently with his steps.

"This little pendant is too..." Zoro picked up the little pendant on his waist. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that he was not suitable for such a child's thing. He was not a little kid, so what did he need such a little pendant for? o(′^｀)o

Although he thought so in his heart, Zoro still did not throw away the pendant around his waist. Even he himself didn't know why he kept the pendant around his waist. However, he still covered the small pendant with his hand to prevent Usopp and Sanji from seeing it.

As for why I don’t want to be discovered by those two, those who understand will understand.

Sanji is wearing a white chef's uniform embroidered with blue waves and rice dumpling patterns. His apron is also embroidered with exquisite rice dumpling patterns, which complements the chef's uniform.

Sanji put on a blue chef's hat with a colorful ribbon tied around the brim, adding a festive touch. He looked more professional and elegant in this outfit.

At this moment, he was making each zongzi carefully. "This is a love zongzi made for Miss Nami. The taste of glutinous rice and orange must coexist." ╭?～

Thinking of this, Sanji started to process the rice dumplings in front of him.

Usopp was wearing a pair of brown overalls with yellow rice dumplings and dragon boat patterns embroidered on them. His top was a yellow short-sleeved shirt with a colorful ribbon tied at the collar, adding a festive touch.

Usopp pulled up the straps of his overalls and pulled them on himself, "This piece of clothing suits me, a brave man."╰(*′︶`*)╯

Compared to Nami's dress that highlights her feminine beauty, Abis's Dragon Boat Festival outfit looks sweeter and cuter.

She was wearing a pink dress embroidered with white rice dumplings and rabbit patterns. She had a pink bow in her hair, which matched the dress and made her look even more cute.

"Yi Chen, this dress is so cute (?＞?＜?), I like it so much. Mua~" As she spoke, Abis kissed Yi Chen, who was sitting next to her, on the cheek under Nami's surprised look.

But Nami just pouted and didn't say much. (?`~′?)

The last one came was Yi Chen. He was wearing a green robe embroidered with white clouds and rice dumpling patterns. It was a landscape painting he had drawn himself.

He wore a white belt around his waist, which was also embroidered with a rice dumpling pattern, which complemented his robe.

At this moment, he was also surprised and touched the side of his face that was suddenly kissed by Abis. Then he smiled faintly and reached out to touch Abis's little head.

And Abisi also enjoyed Yi Chen's pat on the head.

( ′?w?)ノ(*′?`*)

About half an hour later...

"Sanji, Sanji, are the dumplings ready? I'm hungry." Luffy kept asking Sanji.

"You've already eaten two pots of breakfast, why are you hungry again so soon?" Sanji asked Luffy as he put the meat filling in the glutinous rice.

"Dadie (because) I have never eaten Zongzi before, I want to eat delicious Zongzi as soon as possible."

"I understand your desire to eat zongzi as soon as possible, but it's not ready yet. You need to wait a little longer."

In fact, if Sanji made enough dumplings according to the normal person's appetite, he could quickly make enough dumplings. But if he didn't make more, Sanji estimated that Luffy would eat Usopp's portion again, so Sanji planned to make more this time.

"That's it, okay then."

noon--

"The rice dumplings are ready. It's time to have lunch." Sanji walked out of the kitchen and said to everyone.

"Ah! Time to eat zongzi!"

Hearing this, Luffy rushed in excitedly.

"Hey, Luffy, don't finish eating by yourself again!!!" Usopp shouted at Luffy and ran in.

Then Yi Chen and a few others followed in.

"Zongzi, Zongzi, delicious Zongzi... Ham..."

As soon as Luffy sat down on the chair, he put a rice dumpling on the table into his mouth and started chewing.

"Hey, Luffy, are you an idiot?" Sanji said loudly to Luffy who was chewing the leaves together.

"What's wrong, Sanji?"

"You have to open the leaves of the zongzi before eating it!!!" Sanji said helplessly, holding his forehead.

"They are all the same, crunch, crunch, swallow--" Luffy reached out and ate another zongzi along with the zongzi leaves, not worrying about indigestion at all.

"But this rice dumpling is really delicious. It has the taste of both glutinous rice and meat." Luffy grinned.

Everyone was no longer surprised by this. After all, no matter what happened to Luffy, it was not surprising because they were used to it.

Zoro sat next to Luffy and ate the rice dumplings quietly. "It tastes pretty good, but it's a pity there's no wine."

"Ms. Nami, be careful of the heat. Let me open the leaves for you." Just as Nami was about to reach out to untie the leaves, Sanji shook to Nami like a piece of seaweed and said with loving eyes.

"Thank you so much, Sanji." Nami replied to Sanji with a smile.

Because Abis couldn't reach the table while sitting on the chair, she sat on Yi Chen's lap.

He reached out his hand to take the steaming hot rice dumplings that had just come out of the pot on the table.

"Hiss~ It's so hot~"

Abis blew gently on her burned fingers.

Seeing this, Yi Chen grabbed Abis's red, scalded little hand and cast healing magic on it.
