Boom! Boom! …

The sky was filled with dark clouds, and there were sounds of thunder and lightning.

Amidst the howling wind, heavy rain fell, and Sandersonia stood on top of the mast. While looking into the distance, she shouted loudly to the three people on the deck:

"There's a large vortex ahead. Adjust the angle of the sail to allow the ship to sail crosswind!"

"We can't be sucked into the vortex; otherwise, this ship will be destroyed! …"

In the violent stormy weather, Marigold turned the rudder, while Sephiroth and Hancock each stood on one side of the mast, quickly loosening the rope and adjusting its length.

Under the strong wind, the sail angle immediately deflected.

The rain fell onto them like bullets, causing their body temperature to rapidly drop, but no one sought shelter in the cabin from the rain.

In this situation, if you're not careful, the ship will be destroyed, and everyone will face death. So, no one can afford to be lazy.

After sailing for a long distance, the temperature suddenly dropped, sleet began to appear in the sky, and occasionally, a few hailstones fell.

Gradually, the rain became lighter, and the wind slowed down, but the sky became heavily snowy, as if winter had arrived, and the ship entered a stage of smooth sailing.

At this point, the four of them finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ah Choo..!"

Sephiroth sneezed violently. He couldn't help but touch his nose and muttered:

"The climate suddenly changed from summer to winter…"

"The weather on the Grandline is indeed unpredictable! "

The storm had passed, and Sandersonia also jumped down from the mast. She smiled and said to the three of them:

"We have now entered the winter sea area. In addition to the severe cold temperature, the wind and waves on the sea will be relatively light. We can take a break for a while."

Nine slave traders once lived on this ship.

Therefore, there is plenty of water, food, and cold-proof clothing for the four of them.

They rummaged around in the cabin for a while and soon found thick cotton clothes.

Although the three women were somewhat disgusted by the fact that these clothes had been worn by those disgusting slave traders, they had no choice but to put them on to keep warm.

Among the three girls, Hancock was probably the most resistant. She just put on a black plush cloak and didn't even change the soaked clothes underneath...

Sephiroth picked through the wardrobe in the crew lounge, put on a blue cotton coat on his upper body, and a pair of black cotton trousers on his lower body. Then, he walked into the kitchen and started preparing today's dinner.

Boa Hancock folded her arms and leaned half against the door of the kitchen, saying with a surprised look on her face:

"Eh!?... Sephiroth, can you actually cook?"

Hearing this, the silver-haired boy who was peeling potatoes immediately paused. He then raised his head and said nonchalantly:

"Isn't cooking a basic skill in daily life? Why do you look so surprised..."

"Ah! This...uhh...is it? But I find it so difficult to cook!"

"I often overcooked food, or undercooked it, or added too much salt... so Sandersonia and Marigold didn't let me cook…"

"Obviously I am still quite interested in cooking… "

"..."

Sephiroth glanced at the future pirate empress. He finally suppressed his desire to complain and said:

"Just practice more in the future..."

"By the way, aren't you going to change out of the wet clothes inside? You might catch a cold, right? "

Only then did the silver-haired boy realize that the black-haired girl in front of him was actually wearing soaking red shorts and a skirt under the fluffy cloak.

Boa Hancock blinked her lovely eyes and asked curiously:

"What does it feel like to have a cold? I have never had it since I was a child..."

Sephiroth: "..."

The silver-haired boy thought about it carefully. It seemed that the physical fitness of humans in the world of One Piece was indeed different from the physical fitness of ordinary people he knew in his previous life...

Not to mention abnormal beings like Whitebeard, who can continue to rage even without half his head.

Usopp, a weakling who often suffers fractures and excessive blood loss in the early stage of the storyline, can recover to his original state after a period of rest without leaving any hidden dangers...

There are even some minor characters who were stabbed several times in a row and sprayed blood as if it was a fountain, but they survived in the end and recovered after a period of rest, just like normal people!

As a medical graduate, in Sephiroth's opinion, this is not scientific at all!

Um! ? ...wrong! Since the world is different, the laws may be different. Without enough research, he cannot draw conclusions so easily. One must be rigorous and scientific!

Under Sephiroth's busy work, beef stew with potatoes, stir-fried pork with broccoli, braised fish cubes, and tomato and egg soup were placed on the dining table one after another.

The alluring aroma emanating from the dishes made the three women sit around the dining table, salivating and staring.

When the silver-haired boy brought out the last dish of braised pork from the kitchen and shouted "dinner is ready!", they could no longer hold back their desires and started eating with their chopsticks.

Hancock picked up a piece of fish, put it in her mouth, chewed, and exclaimed:

"Hmm! It's delicious..."

Sandersonia, the green-haired girl, took a bite of pork stir-fried broccoli and felt the perfect heat and taste. She couldn't help but sigh:

"Sephiroth, are you a professional chef?"

"Your cooking skills are much better than those of our Kuja pirate crew's chefs!"

"Those chefs boil a big pot of food with water every day, adding some salt and oil directly to it, and at most mixing some spices... That smell makes me nauseous!"

The silver-haired boy smiled first, then shook his head and said:

"Thank you for your compliments! But...I am not a chef, but can be considered a doctor! "

"Doctors actually have such good cooking skills? It's simply incredible..."

Marigold picked up a piece of potato with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. The feeling of it melting in her mouth, coupled with the rich soup and beef flavor, made her a little intoxicated.

"This! It's a long story..."

A trace of nostalgia flashed across Sephiroth's face, and he subconsciously touched his pants pocket to light a cigarette for himself.

When he found nothing, he remembered that the original owner of this body was a good boy and didn't smoke at all, which made him sigh slightly disappointedly.

In fact, the reason why he has such good cooking skills originally originated from a corpse anatomy class...

He still remembers the strong corpse smell and the cold corpse he touched through rubber gloves...

He was suppressing his nausea. After dissecting the corpse, he had no appetite for food for several days. Especially when he saw meat, he had the urge to vomit.

But...

Maybe he was too hungry, and his hunger made him overcome the psychological shadow in his mind.

At that time, he had not eaten much for several days. When he happened to pass by a roadside barbecue, he was attracted by the smell of barbecue filling the air. He completely forgot about autopsies and other things and had a feast at that barbecue stall.

Since then, he seemed to have an obsession with food and became a foodie, from eating out to making his own food.

Before he knew it, he had good cooking skills!

After dinner, it was too dark, and snow continued to fall from the sky.

This is a great and ever-changing Grandline. For safety reasons, Sandersonia decided not to sail anymore and chose to drop the anchor.

The four people discussed and decided to divide into two groups, each holding a vigil for one night.

In this way, it not only ensures that everyone has sufficient rest time, but also prevents sudden changes at sea.

Tonight, Sephiroth and Hancock will keep vigil...
