After the rest day, the Straw Hats once again plunged into the arduous practice. Facing new challenges, everyone was eager to try and worked hard. Only Sanji walked slowly behind everyone, yawning endlessly.

"Mr. Sanji looks so sleepy. He didn't get any rest last night, okay?" Brooke was concerned about his companion, "Don't push yourself too hard."

"Ah...it's just a little lack of sleep. I'm fine, Brooke." Sanji smoked a cigarette listlessly, his whole body feeling sluggish. As for the reason why he was so sleepy, we have to mention Rocinante, who raided the boys' dormitory of Sonny last night and didn't alert anyone with the help of the Silence Fruit. Oh, Sanji is the exception.

It was a conversation between a father and a robber who was spying on the treasure.

"You look very nervous." In the soundproof wall, Rosinandi looked at Sanji with a serious look on his face.

"Haha, when facing little Alicia's father, it's inevitable to be nervous." Sanji smiled dryly, his palms already wet with sweat due to excessive nervousness.

"Don't joke with me, I'm not here to make fun of you."

"...I'm sorry." Sanji did not argue that he was not joking, but apologized honestly.

"The attitude is quite correct..." Rosinandi knew that she was just making a point, and she felt a little bit sorry. "I'm sorry, I came to see you at this time. Actually, I have a problem that I want to talk to you about."

Rocinante stopped here, his eyes deep and heavy. Sanji waited patiently, waiting for the other person's next words.

"Let me ask you, do you have someone you like?"

"..."

"Why? Is this question difficult to answer?"

"No." Sanji acted very reserved, always feeling that if he didn't take this conversation seriously, he would definitely be sentenced to death by the man in front of him regarding Alicia. "I have someone I like."

"Really? I know it's a bit presumptuous, but who is the person you like?"

"..." Sanji reminded himself to cheer up. Even if he was beaten, he could not tell lies against his sincerity. He raised his head and looked at Rosinandi seriously, "It's little Alicia."

"that's it?"

"Eh? Ah, yes."

"I thought you would brazenly say something like, 'Please give your daughter to me, I will definitely give her happiness' or something like that."

Sanji didn't dare to tell Rosinandi. In fact, he had said these words in his mind a hundred times.

"You haven't confessed to her yet, have you?"

"No."

"Why? Is it because I don't like her that much?"

"No." Sanji said seriously, "How could that be?"

Having said this, Sanji lowered his head, holding the cigarette in his mouth, and started smoking one after another anxiously.

"I know my shortcomings, and I also know that whether I express my feelings or tell her my true thoughts, all decisions regarding little Alicia must be made carefully."

"So you haven't been able to make up your mind to confess your love?"

"No, every second I spent with little Alicia, I wanted to confess to her quickly, but -" Sanji's mood suddenly dropped a lot, "She lost someone very important to her. If I confess my love to her at this time, it will only trouble her. Even if I confess my love, there are still etiquette."

"You are timid, you are so useless." Rosinandi pointedly stabbed Sanji's heart with a soft knife, "But for me as a father, it is good news."

"It's useless? Probably." Sanji blew out the smoke in an annoyed tone, "I don't want little Alicia to cry or feel troubled for me. As long as I think of something like that happening, I can't help but hate myself. "

"Hey, hey, hey, are you thinking too much? You and my daughter are not even close to each other yet, okay?" Rosinand climbed onto the edge of the boat and waved back to Sanji, "Forget it, I want to understand anyway. I’ve already learned about it. I’m leaving, and don’t let Alicia know about tonight’s conversation.”

Under the night, Rosinandi wrinkled his face in displeasure as he quietly left the Sonny.

"Although the other party seems to care about Alicia a lot, I won't tell him what Alicia thinks."

Rosinandi snorted, and when he thought that that brat might steal his daughter one day in the future, he couldn't help but clenched his fists. As expected of a pirate, he hates pirates, not counting Alicia and Luo.

In short, this is the reason why Sanji is sleepy. It's just a little sleepy. For people like them who often stay up late fighting, it's a piece of cake.

However, Sanji thought things too simply. After that night, for a week, Rosinandi would sneak into the Sonny every night to wake the other person up, and pull the person to the deck to have a long talk. Rosinandi's attitude seemed friendly, but Sanji was sure that he was definitely being targeted.

For example, tonight, everyone on the Sonny was asleep, except for Sanji and Rocinante, who were sitting on the deck holding cigarettes in their mouths. Sanji suppressed his sleepiness and told Rocinante about Alicia's adventure.

"So you broke into Judiciary Island? And you fought with the navy and CP9 above?"

"That's right. Little Alicia was super handsome at that time. Not only did she rescue little Robin, but she also gave CP9 a good lesson just to help me vent my anger."

"Don't be so sentimental, she must be angry because of the rude remarks made by the other party." Rosinandi squinted his eyes. The silly smile on Sanji's face in front of him made him very unhappy.

"There is that factor, but ah, father, at that time little Alicia -" Sanji stood up, danced and gestured to Alicia's movements at that time, imitating her tone, "'This is because you are going to us. It’s a thank you gift for the cook who has several holes in his body,’ that’s what she said~”

Sanji couldn't help but feel enveloped in the pink atmosphere as he recalled that scene, and his whole body began to squirm. Even thinking about it now made him feel excited, as if he was protected and deeply loved by Alicia, completely forgetting that Alicia had mentioned Usopp at that time.

"You look so disgusting...and how many times have I told you not to call me father? Don't think that I don't know that you are secretly taking advantage of my daughter."

Sanji couldn't hear it anymore, he was stuck in the picture in his mind and couldn't extricate himself.

"Sanji... Rosinandi?" Alicia's voice suddenly sounded on the second floor, and the two people on the deck looked up at the same time.

"Little Alicia?" Sanji.

"!!!" Rosinandi quickly dodged and hid behind Sanji, apparently forgetting that Sanji, who was 1.8 meters tall, could not stop him who was almost 3 meters tall.

"What are you doing on the deck if you don't go to bed at this hour?" Alicia jumped from the second floor to the deck with a light movement. "Why is Rocinante not in the castle but here on the Sonny?"

Rocinante looked up at the sky and the ground with a smile, hoping to fool Sanji by pretending to be stupid. He poked Sanji's back with his fingers, signaling him to think of a solution quickly. Sanji understood and looked at Alicia with a smile.

"Why is little Alicia awake?"

"..." Alicia's eyes wandered, and after looking back and forth at the two of them, she seemed to say casually: "I was hungry, so I woke up."

"Then let me cook you a bowl of hot ramen?" Sanji rolled up his sleeves and looked at Rosinandi again, "Father, uh, Mr. Rosinandi, do you want to have some supper together?"

"I want the cole slaw."

"No problem, I'll do it soon."

When Sanji went to the kitchen, Alicia crossed her arms and said to Rocinante silently:

"I knew it would be like this. Stop bullying Sanji, Rocinante."

"Did that brat complain to you?"

"Sanji didn't say anything."

"That, that..."

"The dark circles under his eyes have gotten heavier and heavier in the past few days. If I still can't guess what happened, wouldn't I be an idiot?" Alicia pulled Rosinandi's coat in confusion, "They practiced very hard during the day. It's hard enough, so don't bully Sanji."

"If he was so tired, it would be better if he just rejected me." Rosinandi glanced at the kitchen guiltily.

"Because Sanji is very gentle. Even if he knows you are looking for trouble for him, he can't refuse."

"I don't plan to do anything to him." Rosinandi felt aggrieved.

"I know, that's why I feel helpless instead of angry."

"You really like that boy, Alicia."

"Who told me that every time I feel depressed, he is always by my side. I don't want to, but I can't control it."

"Okay, now that we've talked about it, dad knows."

"If you know, you can't disturb Sanji's sleep in the middle of the night."

"But dad still wants to hear him tell me about your adventures."

"You can listen to that kind of thing during the day."

"You are all practicing during the day, and dad is very lonely."

"Don't be such a spoiled brat." Alicia pushed away Rocinante, who was grunting on her body. "After supper, hurry back to the castle."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Being rejected by Alicia, dad is so sad."
