The Promised Day

"Reiju?"

Sanji stared blankly at his sister, speechless, his mind went blank with no thoughts at all. He never thought he would hear such words from his sister, named Vinsmoke Reiju. The girl who had been around for a long time would only laugh at him, although she would occasionally bandage him up, but he had never thought about such a situation.

"What are you dazing off for? Sanji!"

Reiju pulled Sanji out of the cell, "Come out quickly! Now is the best opportunity!"

"Reiju!"

Sanji was stunned.

"Sanji, you want to be a chef, right?"

Reiiu took Sanji's hand and ran outside, "Your dream is to become a chef, right?"

"Yes?"

Sanji nodded blankly, not understanding what Reiku meant.

"It's easy! Sanji!"

Naturally, Dino would not continue to stay in the prison obediently, and kept up with Reiju and Sanji. "Of course it's time to leave this place!"

"That's right! Sanji!"

Reiju's eyes flashed with tears, "Right now, Germa is at war with the Kingdom of Cozia in the East Blue Sea. The kingdom is in chaos, so run away! Sanji, go to the sea to pursue your dreams!"

"The sea?"

Sanji wears an iron mask on his head, so you can't tell what he looks like, but just by listening to his voice, you can tell that this kid is very yearning for it.

"Then let's go! Sanji!"

Dino took Sanji's other hand and smiled, "There's no reason to stay!"

"Let's go, Sanji,"

Reiju stopped, let go of her hand, and said, "I'll help you this time, don't screw it up!"

"If i go to the East Blue,"

Sanji murmured to himself, "If I go to the East China Sea, I won't have to see my father anymore, right? Then I can become a chef freely!"

"Isn't that obvious, Sanji?"

Dino dragged Sanji forward and said, "The sea is the freest place!"

"Dino?"

Sanji looked at his friend, "Do you want to come with me too?"

"Why are you asking?"

Dino smiled, "Do you still want me to die here?"

"Of course I want to be with you!"

"Yes!"

Sanji smiled, took off his short legs and started running towards freedom.

-------------

"Who is there!"

The man named Judge turned his head suddenly, and then saw his two small figures.

"Hm, Sanji!"

Judge said with a hint of impatience in his tone, "Why are you here?"

"Is that, Vinsmoke Judge?"

Dino clenched his fist tightly, this man was the guy who destroyed his country with his own hands.

"Oh? This kid is—the kid that Reiju brought back, right?"

Of course Judge had no reason not to notice Dino, "So he's not dead yet!"

"Oh, by the way, I remembered."

The king of Germa, this man said, "It's Sanji who's been cooking for you, right? Hahahaha, there's actually a chef in the Vinsmoke family, what a joke!"

"Get out of the way!! I want to leave the country!"

Sanji picked up a knife from the ground, "Stop stopping me!"

"Leave the country?"

Judge was startled for a moment, then smiled, "Really? Do you want to leave this country? Then -"

Sanji's hand holding the knife trembled slightly.

"That's really great!"

Judge laughed loudly, "I was just worried about what to do with you! After all, as my biological son, I can't kill you with my own hands. It would be best if you wanted to leave on your own! I really want to thank you very much. Ah, Sanji, you help me solve a big problem!"

Sanji's body trembled slightly.

"But, Sanji, I have to trouble you with something."

Judge said this, "When you get to the sea, you must never say your father's name. That is really an unbearable humiliation for me!"

"Take the key and put off that mask!"

Judge smiled and threw a key on the ground, "Then get away and don't appear in my eyes again!"

Sanji silently picked up the key and gently opened his mask, his face as calm as ever.

Dino smiled, and Sanji also grew up a bit.

"Oh? I thought you were going to be a crying mess!"

Judge said in surprise.

"I already have a partner I can rely on!"

Sanji said, "So I'm definitely not crying anymore!"

"partner?"

Judge looked at Dino, "Oh? Is it you who changed Sanji?"

"I won't let you hurt him!"

Sanji stood in front of Dino.

"Sanji?" Dino was not surprised at all, but was just touched. The so-called friend refers to such a guy!

"Hahahahaha!"

Judge laughed loudly, "Really? Are you willing to risk your life for your friends? Sanji, you guys gave me a little surprise before you leave!"

Judge laughed and walked away, "It doesn't matter, Sanji, it doesn't matter whether it's you or that brat, I don't care whether you live or die! If you want to cause trouble for me in the future, just give it a try !"

Judge walked away without any hesitation, not paying any attention to the movements of these two little kids. For this man, there was no difference whether it was his own child or the descendant of the royal family that was destroyed by him. They were all just useless for him. The man named Vinsmoke Judge has always been mercenary.

Neither his incompetent son nor the former prince of a kingdom that has been completely ruled by neighboring countries can bring him any benefit now, so this man can let these two people leave without hesitation. Go away kid.

"What are you doing?"

Dino grabbed Sanji's hand and ran outside, "Do you still want to die here? Sanji!"

This is not a safe place. This is the battlefield between the Vinsmoke family and the Kingdom of Cozia in the East Blue. The two children are not in a safe place here.

---------------

On the dark sea, a small boat floated on the sea. Two little kid sat on the boat and looked at each other.

"Pfft hahahahahaha!!!"

Dino couldn't hold back at first and burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at—poof~hahahahahaha!"

Soon, Sanji could no longer be serious, and started laughing as his partner burst into laughter. Do you need any reason to laugh at this moment? The two boys who finally gained the most precious freedom in the world cannot laugh too much.

"Sanji, we finally arrived at the sea!"

Dino looked around, the sea breeze was a little refreshing, "Is this the taste of freedom?"

"Well, this is the sea!"

Sanji smiled, "It feels completely different from being at home, no, Vinsmoke's home!"

"Hahaha, of course! Sanji,"

Dino leaned against the side of the boat, "They can't restrain you anymore!"

"By the way, Sanji, tell me,"

Dino licked his lips and said, "What do you think about me becoming a chef?"

Sanji said excitedly, "Of course it's great! But didn't you say you wanted to be a musician?"

"Well, times have changed,"

Dino smiled, "For me now, filling my stomach is much more important than any music!"

"..."

Sanji smiled and leaned against the side of the ship.

"Sanji, let's make a promise!"

Dino said.

"Promise?"

---------------

"The promise I made when I was a child is now fulfilled!"

Dino smiled. There was a plate in front of him with a lid on it. He didn't know what was inside.

"Well, when we all become chefs who can act independently, let's have a showdown between chefs!"

Sanji stood opposite him, with a smile on his face. In front of him was a plate with a lid, and he lit a cigarette. The man said, "Now is the time to decide the outcome!"
