Chapter 766 Sanji (1)
East China Sea.
"Why do I feel like this ship hasn't moved since just now?"
"what--!"
"It's over, we've run into the doldrums!"
"Seamless belt? What is that?"
"Never mind all that, let's—"
"Hey, look, there's a boat over there."
"How did such a small boat, without even a cabin, get here?"
"It looks like someone's clothes are on the boat!"
"what?!"
The calm water surface suddenly began to shake slowly, and the people surrounding the water swayed with the ups and downs of the Merry.
"what happened?"
"Earthquake, is it an earthquake at sea?"
on board.
Nami spread out the map and explained to Luffy and others who were confused.
Get off the boat.
Dark shadows swam underwater, heading straight for the Merry.
seabed.
A figure in a red bikini stopped moving.
She was standing on the rocks on the seabed, with a large bamboo basket slung around her waist filled with oversized oysters.
Yun Ci gripped the dagger and exerted a little force to pry off the last oyster and threw it into the bamboo basket. Then, she landed silently on the body of a sea king and used the force to emerge from the water.
'boom--'
Several huge figures broke out of the water.
Yun Ci stood up from the head of a super-large sea king that looked like a manatee, and immediately saw the small boat that was also carried on the head of the sea king.
"Ok?"
Several pairs of eyes met.
The yellow-haired man's eyes instantly turned into a heart shape.
"B-Beauty!"
Yun Ci raised her eyebrows and touched her long hair that was curled into big curls and dyed strawberry red, which sparkled in the sunlight.
"Pirate?"
Yun Ci's eyes swept across the flag on top of the boat, then looked back at her own boat which had disappeared into nowhere.
"Well, there's no other way now."
She exerted a little force and jumped high above the sea king's head, then slid down along its smooth back.
A boning knife appeared out of thin air in Yun Ci's hand. The moment it swept across the neck of the sea king, there was a crisp "clang" sound, and the stable Merry suddenly shook violently.
The head that was used as a platform fell from the sky and slammed heavily into the sea.
Yun Ci took advantage of the sea king's elastic skin and jumped high again, rushing towards the next sea king.
Zoro, Sanji and Luffy, who were startled on the boat, moved.
The three of them attacked one after another, and together with Yun Ci, they killed all the sea kings that emerged from the water.
For a moment, the sea breeze was filled with the salty smell of blood.
"That person just now--" Nami leaned on the side of the boat and looked around, "He's gone!"
Usopp's eyesight was better, and he said, "I saw that woman fall into the sea!"
"Nani?!"
Sanji's chivalry prevented him from leaving the woman in the sea without rescuing her, so he went straight to the side of the boat and jumped in.
With a "splash", he entered the water.
The sea water was dyed red by the blood of the sea kings, which somewhat obstructed the vision.
Only Sanji, who was underwater, could clearly see the figure swimming in the water like a siren. Every time it stopped, the huge corpse of the sea king would disappear.
Sanji looked at it with a dazed expression, forgetting to breathe for a moment.
"!"
Gulu gulu——
Countless bubbles floated to the surface of the sea.
Sanji's eyes widened, he covered his mouth and nose with his big hands, and struggled to float to the surface of the sea.
But as luck would have it, a sea king head that was cut off by Yun Ci just floated above him.
——Air, air!
Sanji looked up and suddenly a flash of red flashed across his sight.
He saw that delicate face approaching him with somewhat unreal eyes.
The hands were pulled apart.
Then the lips were covered with softness.
——It’s air!
Sanji quickly came back to his senses and watched as the red-haired beauty grabbed his wrist and led him towards the sea.
Of the sea king corpses around, only the heads were left.
'flutter--'
The two surfaced.
Sanji breathed heavily.
"Sanji!"
Luffy stretched his arms out and reached in front of Sanji.
Sanji put his arm around Yunci with one hand and held Luffy's hand with the other, and the two were dragged to the bow deck of the Merry.
"Sanji, why is your face so red?"
Hearing Luffy's curious voice, Yun Ci pushed her wet hair away from her face and her eyes fell on the face of the blond boy.
Sanji avoided her gaze, not daring to meet her eyes, and angrily went to argue with Luffy.
Yun Ci chuckled, stood up and said, "I sprinkled powder in the sea to drive away sea beasts. No sea kings will come near me from now on."
She is tall, and the red color makes her skin look even whiter. When she steps, her long, slender legs seem to be stepping directly on people's hearts.
"I wonder if I can borrow your boat to leave the doldrums?" Yun Ci smiled and took out a large oyster from the bamboo basket at her waist. "As a reward, how about you try the cooking skills of a top gourmet hunter like me?"
The blood-stained seawater slowly dripped down Yun Ci's outstretched arm and fell onto the deck.
"Hunter?" Luffy looked at Zoro, "Hunter of the Pirate Hunter?"
Yun Ci tilted her head and her hair slid smoothly off her shoulders.
"Yes." She walked gracefully to Luffy and gently touched the tip of his nose. "Brother, you are very smart."
Luffy suddenly sniffed sharply.
"It smells so good..."
Sanji's ears suddenly pricked up and he kicked Luffy away from Yun Ci.
"Be a gentleman to a lady! You rude fellow!"
Luffy, who was kicked innocently, said: "What?! How am I rude?"
He pointed at Yunci confidently: "She smells like food! Sanji! I'm hungry!"
Sanji: "..."
Everyone: "..."
Nami raised her hand to her forehead and shook her head, trying to get rid of the distorted image in her mind.
"Sure enough, Luffy is Luffy."
Yun Ci chuckled: "So, the deal is done?"
Luffy agreed decisively.
"Oh! We'll take you out of the doldrums!"
Yun Ci curled her eyes: "So - where is the kitchen?"
"I-I'll take you there, beautiful lady."
"Ah, thank you gentleman."
Sanji twisted his body and held out his hand towards the kitchen, "This way please."
The Merry was a small ship with little room for crew activities.
The ship's galley and helm are in one room.
The crew members usually hold meetings and rest here.
"This... beautiful lady, I am the cook on this ship. Perhaps you need my help?"
"No, I can do it myself."
Yun Ci took the bamboo basket and put it on the table.
Then, a ball of light green telekinetic energy condensed in front of her.
Yun Ci reached in and took out a large box.
“For chefs, kitchen utensils are their other half.”
'boom'
The box of utensils fell heavily on the table.
Yun Ci's slender fingertips groped from the edge of the box to the buckle, and she curled her lips and smiled at Sanji.
"I guess you would be possessive of your own kitchen utensils, right, Mr. Chef?"
