Chapter 771 Sanji (6)
There are two ways to enter the Grand Line.
One is to cross the doldrums, but the huge sea beasts in the doldrums are a big problem, and the entire Grand Line is covered by the doldrums.
One is to cross the Upside-Down Mountain.
Over the years, there have been many pirate groups that have crashed their ships at the entrance, ultimately ending up with their ships destroyed and their crews dead.
For the Straw Hat Pirates, crossing the Upside-Down Mountain was the first challenge they encountered.
but--
The Merry went up and was carried into the clouds by the ocean current.
Yun Ci looked at the five people who were in tacit understanding with a smile on her face.
“Nice team.”
"Miss Yunci, did you say anything?"
Sanji jumped down from the platform where oranges were planted and stood steadily next to Yunci.
"Well, let me say -" Yunci tucked her flying hair behind her ears and looked at Sanji with a smile, "I will never forget this journey with you guys."
Sanji was startled.
"Huh? Did you hear anything?"
Zoro's words interrupted everyone's thoughts.
When the Merry entered an area without fog, everyone saw the huge whale that looked like a black wall.
The whale was blocking the exit of Upside-Down Mountain, almost blocking the way forward.
"Look! There's a passage over there that you can get through!"
But the rudder had been damaged when the ship entered the Upside-Down Mountain, and now no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't change the direction.
Fortunately, Luffy had a sudden idea and used cannon attacks to stop the ship.
But at the same time, Luffy's special seat, the sheep's head, was also broken.
Luffy didn't want to do that, so he punched the whale in the eye angrily.
This completely enraged the whale, and it swallowed the entire Merry into its stomach.
Only Luffy escaped.

"What do you think?"
"What do you think? What do you think I should think?"
"I thought we were definitely swallowed by a whale."
"I just swallowed it." Yun Ci looked up at the 'sky', "That was painted on."
"And what is that island and house?"
“Someone lives in a whale’s belly?”
A giant squid broke out of the water, pierced by an arrow thrown from the house.
Then, a figure slowly walked out of the house.
Yun Ci remembered this person.
Crocus was once the ship doctor on the Pirate King Roger's ship.
Yun Ci had dealt with him before, but not often, so she didn't know him well.
As agreed, we have now entered the Grand Line, but it is obvious that there are no small boats for sale in this place.
Lab, who was madly crashing into the Upside-Down Mountain, was injected with a sedative by Krocas and fell asleep.
Not long after, Princess Vivi and her partner appeared in disguise and entered the Baroque Workshop.
Everything developed just as in the plot. Yun Ci stayed quietly on the boat and did not participate too much in the plot.
Until Luffy and Laboo agreed to draw the Straw Hat Pirates logo on its head.
"Rab."
Lab looked at this human being who made him feel close to others and slowly moved towards the shore.
Yun Ci raised her palm and placed it on Labu's head. The vital force compressed to the limit was transmitted into Labu's body along the place where the two touched.
"I've met Brooke." Yun Ci touched Labu's head, "It's just that his shadow was taken away and he can't leave that place. He misses you too. If he can leave, he will definitely come back to find you."
Laboo let out a cry, and its huge body rolled over with joy, creating a wave and crashing onto the shore.
Yun Ci did not dodge, allowing the sea water to fall on her shoulders, then slide down her arms and fall onto the red land.
"Miss Yunci."
Sanji approached with a drink.
"Would you like a drink?"
"Thank you, Mr. Sanji."
Yun Ci took the cup and took a sip. It was orange juice, tasting sour and sweet, very delicious.
Suddenly, warmth fell on her shoulders. Yun Ci turned around and saw that it was Sanji who put his coat on her.
"The temperature at Upside Down Mountain is still very low."
Yunci originally thought that with Sanji's smoking frequency, his clothes would have a strong smell of tobacco.
But his coat smelled more of food than tobacco.
"Thank you." Yun Ci pulled her coat closer to her body, "Mr. Sanji, you are very gentlemanly."
She took a step towards Sanji, looking up at him as if she were leaning into his arms.
"I thought Mr. Sanji had a rather frivolous personality." Yun Ci's slender index finger lightly touched Sanji's heart, "The type who accepts everyone who comes."
Sanji's gaze uncontrollably fell on Yunci's opening and closing lips. He remembered that day under the sea, the kiss that wasn't really a kiss, and a hint of red appeared on his earlobe again.
Yun Ci's eyes narrowed slightly, and the arc of her red lips raised even more.
"Ok?"
Sanji suddenly came to his senses and subconsciously took a step back.
"sorry, I……"
He started to apologize, but only realized what was happening after he had said it.
Why is he apologizing now?
Obviously did nothing.
He apologized suddenly, as if he had done something sorry to Yun Ci in his heart.
A hint of annoyance appeared on Sanji's face, but he met Yunci's gentle eyes.
Yunci bit the straw and drank the orange juice, then took Sanji's hand, asked him to spread it out, and then put the glass on it.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'll trouble you to take the cup back."
"Oh, okay." Sanji held the cup tightly, "Miss Yunci, can you stay here for a while?"
"Well, I'll chat with Rab."
Sanji then left, looking back every few steps.
Yun Ci stood on the shore for a while, until Luffy and the others had discussed where to go next and were about to leave, then she turned around and got on the boat.
She was wearing Sanji's jacket.
The coat, which was just right for Sanji who was 177cm tall, was a bit too big for Yunci who was 166cm tall, completely covering up her beautiful figure.
Nami stood by the boat, looking at Yunci teasingly, and reached out to hold her hand: "Is this Sanji's jacket?"
Yun Ci smiled and held Nami's hand, using her strength to stand on the deck.
"It's getting colder here, Nami, put on a coat too."
"Oh, what should I do? Where can I find a coat like this?"
"Nami, don't you have a coat?" Luffy poked his head out, "Where can I buy a coat here?"
Nami: "..."
She raised her hand to her forehead and said, "Luffy, please go to your special seat. We are getting ready to leave."
Luffy blinked in confusion, but after meeting Nami's eyes, he slipped away.
Yabai, Nami suddenly became so fierce!
Yunci laughed, and Nami followed suit, leaving the men confused as they continued with their work and set sail.
Leaving Twin Capes, the next stop is the huge cactus island, Whiskey Mountain.
Smart and wary, Zoro and Nami were not fooled by the bounty hunters of Whiskey Mountain. They eventually made a deal with Princess Vivi and met Nico Robin for the first time before heading to the small garden.
As for Sanji and Usopp, they were both drunk and were dragged onto the Merry.
Yunci thought of the beauties surrounding Sanji and urging him to drink, and a kind smile appeared on her face.
"Everyone, let's separate in the "Little Garden"——"
