This is a story about Sanji and Nami, because I love the couple, and I warn you, it's going to be a long story. Please read and review.

I don't own One Piece.

Chapter One

They had finally found it. Raftel, the last island at the end of the Grand Line. The only other one who had landed there had been the King of the Pirates, Gold Roger. Here, there was the treasure that every pirate had dreamt of finding. Rufy was exited. He had finally arrived at the end of his trip; he had become one of the most famous pirates of all time, and he was about to disembark on the last known island of the Grand Line. His companions were as enthusiastic as him, even though they showed it in less evident ways in comparison to the boy with the straw hat. He didn't do anything else other than skip about on and around the ship. In the end, the restlessness of the captain got the best of Nami, who gave him one of her deadly fists.

"Why did you punch me? What did I do?"

"You're making me crazy, that's what you're doing! Stop agitating me or I swear to God that I'll throw you in the sea so that you will never find One Piece!"

"Ah, that's cruel!"

"Be quiet!" She threw another fist. " If you distract me, we risk hitting some submerged rock. I must be careful about where I direct the ship."

That seemed to tranquilize the boy; he nodded and seated himself on the floor, with his back against the tree teacher. He looked around. Zoro was sleeping, as usual, while Usopp was working on his new explosive bullets or something else. Nico Robin was reading a book next to Chopper while Brook strummed something on the violin. Franky was checking his steel prostheses, and the sound of pots and saucepans that originated from the kitchen signaled the fact that Sanji was preparing something for snack time. The thought of something to eat was enough to dissuade his mind from the imminent docking on the island. He got up and, trying to avoid Nami, who was checking a map, he proceeded toward the kitchen, his stomach already grumbling with hunger. Just out of the sight of Nami, he raced into the kitchen, and he opened the door wide open with a bang.

"Sanji, I'm hungry! I'm hungry! I'm hungry! Give me something to eat!"

The cook didn't even turn around and answered rudely, as usual. "You ate three hours ago, Rufy! I'm not going to give you anything yet, so turn back and get the hell out of here."

"But I'm hungry!"

"And I don't want to satisfy your hunger every time you say it! If do that, the supplies that I bought for one month would be gone by the end of the day!"

Rufy looked at him frowning. He stayed at the doorway of the kitchen in silence, looking at the cook, hoping he would change his mind. As always, he didn't, and after a few minutes, without warning, Sanji kicked the guy out of door.

"I've said to get out! When it's ready, you will know!"

With that, he slammed the door shut while Rufy raised his fists and yelled against the closed door.

"Sanji, you've hurt me! I'm only hungry."

Not receiving an answer, he turned around and headed to the master tree. At times he wondered if any other captain was treated as badly as he was by his own crew. Not that he was displeased with the relationship that he had with them, but at times it was so frustrating when they didn't pay attention to him, above all when Sanji refused to give him something to eat.

Nami, in the meantime, was checking the map and calculating the safest route to land on the island. According to the navigators of the nearby islands, nobody landed there because they all thought that it was cursed and whoever had risked landing there had never returned. After a pair of calculations, she decided that the best route to be followed was to circumnavigate the island until they reached a beach where they would be able to disembark without too many problems. She communicated her decision to the crew and when Rufy understood that they would disembark in the late afternoon, he looked at her incredulously. It was as if they had said to him that he wouldn't have eaten meat anymore.

"Ehhh? Why so late?"

Nami puffed and looked at him, annoyed.

"Because if we don't want to be shipwrecked hitting against a rock-cliff or to be transported from the strong tides against the bluff, this is the best route. You just have to wait a few hours."

"Nooo, it's an eternity!"

Usopp, who had just finished putting away his stuff, smacked the captain on the head. "Rufy, stop complaining, we have waited for this moment for a long time, so a few hours more are not a lot."

Rufy seated himself, crossing his legs and puffed like a small child. "Alright, but as soon as we disembark, we go searching for the treasure."

Nami smiled and nodded. He always acted like this; he was always ready to throw himself into a new adventure without thinking about the consequences. In that precise moment, Sanji opened the door of the kitchen, bringing out some trays full of food.

"Snacks are ready!"

They all simultaneously raced toward the cook except Zoro, who kept on sleeping, and Brook, who, being a skeleton, didn't eat anything. Sanji, however, ignored the hands they stretched out toward the trays and headed toward Nami, who had returned to observe the nautical map. With his usual tone of persuasion that he used with women, above all with Nico Robin and her, he handed her a dish.

"This is for you, sweet Nami. I have prepared for you a cake of oranges."

She smiled at him. "Thanks, Sanji."

He smiled and raced to Robin to offer her the same dish in the same way. As usual, Usopp started to protest.

"Hey, Sanji! We want to eat!"

The cook cast him a sharp glance and gave him a tray without any ceremony, which he did the same with Rufy. "For you, I have made some meat with some grilled vegetables."

While Rufy thanked him and started devouring it all, his companion started to mumble that certain pervert cooks didn't know how to be nice and that he wanted a piece of cake, too.

After the snack, everyone returned to their previous occupations: Sanji returned in the kitchen to prepare dinner while Rufy and Usopp started talking about what they would find once they landed on the island. After some time, Brook also joined them in their speculations about what was One Piece.

After a few hours, they finally disembarked on the island. It was big, and there was no trace of civilization, it seemed entirely uninhabited. Rufy was overly excited.

"Alright, let's go! Search for the treasure!"

Nami grabbed his red waistcoat, holding him back. "Wait, Rufy, we don't know what's out there; there could be traps or monsters or who knows what."

"Well, we will discover it while we are looking."

The navigator put a hand on her face, shaking her head, exasperated. "At times I forget that you are you. Rufy, if we go like this, we risk ending up in traps, someone could get hurt… Apart from Brook, naturally." She turned toward the skeleton, who made a small bow and lifted his hat in her direction. Rufy, however, didn't want to wait anymore.

"Come on, Nami, there won't be problems; we're strong!"

Usopp get up to defend his captain's side. "Exactly, and we can easily avoid traps that were put there thirty years ago."

Nami turned toward the others. They all seemed to share the same opinion except for Nico Robin, her best friend. Nami didn't have any doubts that if she had wanted, she would have succeeded in bringing Sanji to her side, but they would still be outnumbered, therefore discussing the matter even further was pointless.

"Alright, we'll go, but as soon as it's dark we return to the ship. I don't want to remain out here in the darkness. Who knows what kind of beasts are out there."

When that was settled, Zoro turned toward Rufy. "So, where do we go?"

The boy scratched his head thoughtfully. "I don't know, probably any direction is the same, right?"

He began to walk, followed by the rest of the crew. Zoro, with his katanas, created a passage for the rest of the line. After a few, they encountered the first traps. The first one was a net hidden under the leaves that captured Zoro, Rufy, and Usopp. After having freed them, the group resumed the patrol of the island, but after just five minutes, Sanji fell in a pit with some pointed poles. Luckily, Nico Robin, using her devil fruit's power, succeeded in grabbing him in time before he was impaled. After these two traps, they decided to send Usopp ahead, the most expert of them all in these things. In fact, he succeeded in avoiding some traps, even though some were too well-hidden for even him to notice them. Luckily, nobody got hurt, and they somehow passed all the traps uninjured. After an hour of walking, they finally arrived in a clearing with a cottage made of bricks in its center.

They were all surprised by that sight. They didn't expect anything like that. Rufy and Usopp immediately raced to see what was inside while the other ones remained outside to check that there weren't dangerous animals or traps in the proximity. As the two entered, they started to scream for the rest of the crew to get inside the cottage. They all raced toward the house and all tried to get through the door together. They all stopped fighting when they saw what lay on the ground. Inside the room, there were three old and rusted coffers. All the group remained in silence for a few minutes, observing surprised and excited what they had looked for during all those years. There was the treasure of Gold Roger, the King of Pirates.

There, before them, was One Piece.
