"It's so troublesome...I signed a contract with the little girl again."

"There's nothing to complain about when the car is familiar with the road."

The silver-grey-haired Alicia was bickering with Roger, bending down on the deck to paint the magic circle with chalk. When Luffy reached out to touch it out of curiosity, she slapped him away. When she was done, she straightened up and shouted to Hal by the lake.

"Mr. Hal, I've finished painting here too."

"That's almost it." Hal took the fire demon Calcifer into the larger magic circle by the lake. "Calcifer and I can start anytime."

"Understood." Alicia walked to the edge of the boat and waved to Rocinante, "Goodbye again, take care! Rocinante, Mr. Hal, Sophie, Calcifer, Maruk, and the witch Granny!"

"Goodbye! Straw Hats! Nice to meet you! Come and play again!"

"Then, everyone, grab what you have at hand." Alicia told her companions, and Roger fell into her open palm. The two magic circles started operating at the same time, and the dazzling light connected together. The Sunny disappeared from the Lake of Stars and reappeared in the waters of the New World of the Grand Line.

"Are you back?" Nami opened her eyes, looked at the endless ocean in front of her, raised her arms and shouted, "Great! You're back!"

"Hehehe, what an interesting experience." Luffy held onto the straw hat and jumped onto Sonny's lion head. "Little ones! Let's keep going! Heading towards Wano Country!"

The Sonny moved forward smoothly on the sea. Luffy has been thinking about Sabo ever since he learned from the Economic News that the Revolutionary Army's station was destroyed before arriving in all nations. The new issue of the newspaper still did not publish any news related to Saab.

"If you're worried about Sabo, why don't you use the phone bug to contact him?" Alicia, the old god, took out the phone bug and handed it to Luffy.

"Ah! Sabo is biased! He didn't even leave the phone bug for me!" Luffy pouted and picked up the phone bug, as if he wanted to settle a score with Sabo. However, when the communication signal rang, he moved nervously on his chair. Go, it seems like there are thorns under the buttocks.

"Alicia?"

The phone was picked up and Sabo's voice came. Luffy breathed a sigh of relief and immediately had time to think about the phone bug.

"Saab, why are phone bugs reserved only for Alicia?"

"Luffy?"

"That's right. I'm angry now because Sabo is too partial."

"Oh! Luffy! I saw the news about you guys from the newspaper. It seems that everyone escaped from Big Mom safely. That's great!"

"Hahaha! Sabo has also seen the report. Then, you have also seen my wanted poster, right? I already have 1.5 billion!" Luffy momentarily forgot about the phone bug and diverted his attention.

"As expected of my younger brother, Luffy." Sabo laughed loudly on the other end of the phone, "By the way, I also saw Alicia's wanted poster. What are those bare legs next to her? Ah, that’s so funny.”

"I don't know." Luffy leaned on the back of his chair and picked his nose, "I really don't understand why Alicia developed the bad habit of picking up other people's pants."

"Hey! What are you talking nonsense to Sabo, Luffy!" Alicia grabbed the tea cup and smashed it at Luffy with her teeth bared, and a piece of salty fish pie was placed in front of her. "Thanks, Sanji."

Sanji looked at Alicia awkwardly while holding the tray, then turned back to the cooking table. After a while, he brought another piece of baked pudding and placed it in front of Alicia.

"...Thank you, Sanji." Alicia didn't notice anything was wrong at first, until Sanji repeatedly put down a glass of special drink in front of her, and she finally raised her head to look at him.

Sanji, who wanted to let Alicia feel the resentment in his eyes, looked a little angry and a little aggrieved, but he didn't say anything.

Alicia: I couldn’t save this person. She looked like she was completely in love. She didn’t even think about what she said...

"I read in the newspaper that something happened at the Revolutionary Army headquarters. Is Sabo okay?" On the other end, Luffy continued to talk to Sabo.

"Well, everyone is fine."

"We are relieved to know that Saab is fine, but I have not yet forgiven Saab for his partiality."

"Oh, the phone bug was given to me by Alicia. I am biased and so on. I was wronged."

"Ah? Is that so? That's Alicia's problem. She's very unloyal."

"We are on the same ship, do you want me to give you a phone bug when I'm full?"

On the other end of the phone, someone could be heard urging Sabo. Alicia takes back the phone bug regardless of Luffy's obstruction.

"Is Sabo going to be busy?"

"I'm afraid so..."

"Be careful, you must bring the potion with you." Alicia thought of the chaos that would happen at the World Conference, and after a moment of silence she said, "I will not take the initiative to contact Sabo, and call us when it is convenient for you. Bar."

"I understand. I will definitely tell you and Luffy that you and Luffy are safe."

The communication ended and Luffy looked unhappy.

"Why can't you take the initiative to call Sabo? I would like to chat with him more."

"If Sabo is doing a mission and the phone suddenly rings, he and his friends will have a headache." Alicia took a bite of salty pie and explained seriously, "The Revolutionary Army often has some infiltration missions. If What should we do if our sudden contact exposes Saab?”

"Well..." Luffy held his chin and thought for a long time to no avail, so he simply gave up, "Well, anyway, it's good to know that Sabo is fine."

After lunch was over, Alicia deliberately stayed until the end. After everyone left the kitchen, she carried the empty plate and walked over to Sanji, who was washing the kitchen utensils.

"Sanji."

Sanji glanced at her and groaned inexplicably. Obviously, his previous attempt to attract Alicia's attention failed, which made him feel aggrieved.

"That's really just a rumor."

"... Even if it's a rumor, I can't help but feel jealous of Katakuri." Sanji curled his lips gloomily, "If I say this, Alicia will think I'm inferior, right?"

"Not at all. It's normal to feel jealous because of someone you like." Alicia rolled up her sleeves and took the initiative to take over the task of washing the dishes. "Not only Sanji will do it, but I will too."

Sanji paused in his movements and tilted his head to listen carefully to Alicia's words.

"When I was in Wanguo, I was jealous of Brynn more than once, especially at the wedding scene. Brynn showed up with you on her arm, and you still looked stupidly happy."

"Ah, that's..." Sanji opened his mouth to explain, but didn't know where to start. After all, he does look like an idiot. He gets carried away when he sees a beautiful lady and is so stupid.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to argue with you about this. I just want to say, look, we all know the problem exists, so think about it carefully."

"I don't know what to think about it. No matter how I think about it, it seems to be a dead end." Sanji looked unhappy, "I want to be with Alicia forever, and I also want Alicia to have more confidence in me."

"..."

"Alicia actually doesn't have confidence in me, right? That's why she worries about separation in the future." Sanji put away the kitchen utensils and dried his hands, then took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped Alicia's wet hands clean, what he said He landed loudly, "But I don't want to think about that at all, because I want to be with you forever. Whether as a lover or a companion."

"I thought it would take at least a week and a half for you to think carefully." Alicia said.

"I can't wait that long, Alicia thinks too highly of me." Sanji felt a little lonely, gently rubbing Alicia's fingers, and reluctantly let go after a while, "I also know that my virtue is difficult for Ms. Have faith in me, if Alicia still needs time, I don’t mind waiting forever... But, can you please stop liking others?"
