49: Chapter 49 Sanji boards the ship, Nami pleads for help.After returning to the restaurant to rest, Luffy checked his injuries.Although he used Armament Haki to block most of the damage and later used breathing techniques to stop the bleeding, the scar was still unsightly and not at all imposing.Ling'er then stepped forward and said speechlessly, "Hey host, don't forget you're the protagonist!This little cut won't leave a scar.But if you want to recover quickly, you can exchange for a healing potion from the shop, but."
"Exchange it, exchange it quickly!" Luffy hurriedly interrupted Ling'er, exchanging two healing pills in the shop.Just as Luffy swallowed one and was about to give it to Zoro, he suddenly felt weak all over and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
"It will only make the host fall into a deep sleep for a few hours." Ling'er looked at the unconscious Luffy, shook her head helplessly, and fell silent.Coby, who had just entered, was initially startled, then realized Luffy was simply asleep.He had no choice but to carry Luffy on his back and borrow an empty room from Sanji for Luffy to rest in.Four hours later, Luffy finally woke up from his slumber.He looked around in a daze and saw Coby and the others looking at him with concern."Mr.Luffy, are you alright?" Coby asked with concern."I'm fine, I'm fine.By the way, where's Zoro?Is he more seriously injured than." "I'm heavy," Koby hesitated, then Sanji chimed in, "While you were asleep, Nami secretly took your ship away when we weren't looking, and the green-haired guy, the long-nosed guy, and those two bounty hunters chased after them in another small boat." Luffy understood what was happening, and felt a pang of bitterness."In the end, Nami still believes Arlong wouldn't lie to her and would keep his promise." Sanji then entered the room, and seeing Luffy awake, he was initially surprised, then exclaimed with delight, "You're awake, Straw Hat!"
Luffy invited again, "So, Sanji, are you willing to join my crew?" Sanji refused once more, "I will not become a pirate.Even if I were to set sail for the Grand Line, it would only be after I have repaid that old man's kindness to me."
"Forget it then," Luffy said, lowering his head, but his hand remained firmly gripping Sanji's neck, refusing to let go.Sanji, with a pained expression, broke free and said speechlessly, "Even if you try to cheat me, I won't get on your ship.I'll find All Blue myself."
"All Blue?" Coby and the others asked, puzzled.Seeing their confusion, Sanji excitedly explained, unaware that Zeff, standing above, was watching him with a smile."Let's finish this meal and leave," Luffy said, feigning helplessness."As for the chef, we'll definitely meet him again on the next leg of our journey." Sanji led the group to the restaurant, where Zeff and the others were already waiting.Seeing Luffy and the others arrive, they welcomed them with smiles and took their seats.Just as the banquet was in full swing, Patty called out, "Who made this soup?" Sanji stood up and said, "I made it.What's wrong?Is it good?" Just as Sanji looked.Just as everyone was expecting praise, Patty burst out, "This is awful!" and slammed the soup bowl on the ground.The others followed suit.Sanji glared at them angrily, said nothing, and stormed out, leaving the group bewildered inside."I said, Uncle, this soup is clearly delicious, why do you have to say it's awful?" Luffy said, sipping his soup with relish.Zeff chimed in, "Isn't this the idea we came up with so he can go to sea with you?We've already accepted Sanji, but I don't want him to stay stuck in this restaurant, unable to realize his dream.So, would you be willing to take him to sea, Straw Hat?"
"That depends on whether he wants to or not, right, Sanji?" Luffy called out towards the door.Sanji, who had been standing at the door for a long time, pushed it open and entered, glaring at Zeff and the others, saying through gritted teeth, "Are you trying to kick me out, you old geezer?"
Zeff remained silent, turning and heading upstairs.Sanji glanced at Patty and the others, who guiltily averted their gazes.Though outwardly angry, Sanji was deeply moved.He turned to Luffy and said, "Since we both share unrealistic dreams, for my own purpose, for All Blue, let me accompany you on your adventures.I'll be your ship's cook." Luffy smiled at Sanji, "Ah, welcome to my ship, Sanji."
"Ding-dong, congratulations host for completing all tasks, rewards have been issued."
A short while later, Sanji arrived at Luffy's side with some simple luggage.Just as they were boarding, Zeff said, "Don't catch a cold, Sanji." At that moment, Sanji could no longer hold back his tears and knelt down, shouting, "Boss Zeff, thank you so much for taking care of me all this time!I will never forget your kindness!" Zeff's eyes also welled up with tears, looking at Sanji reminded him of his clumsy childhood self.After kneeling to say goodbye to Zeff, Sanji strode resolutely onto the ship.The people at the sea restaurant waved and shouted, "Goodbye, Sanji!You must achieve your dreams!" Sanji turned his back to them, tears streaming down his face.Soon, the small boat disappeared from everyone's sight.Not long after Luffy and his crew set sail, Luffy's personal Den Den Mushi rang.Luffy picked up the receiver and heard Nami's helpless, tearful voice pleading, "Luffy, help me!"
