A/N: Hey! As the summary states this will be mainly a ZoRo and SaNa fic, but this first chapter is mainly an introduction to the first part of the plot. Sorry, if you don't like how it goes or whatnot. All I ask is you give it a chance, I'm going for angst, anger, and for the two relationships to come about in a different way. The best way to realize how much someone means to you is to lose them. Also, if you don't like these pairings don't click on the fic only to bitch, only proves you don't have a life. Those are the two pairings for this fic, find something else if it isn't what you want to read about, I'm not changing them.

Warnings: Posted with each chapter, but it will be an angst filled story with some eventual smut and perhaps violence. So you are warned, I'm told I am decent at the angst and I'm going to strive for some tear-jerking shit here.

Disclaimer: Don't own One Piece and I make no profit from writing this work of fiction.

Chapter One

The celebrations were at a high despite it being a little after noon on the enchanting island. The local villagers were all for throwing a grand affair for the merry band of pirates that had shown up and happily gotten rid of the tyrant that had enslaved their families for more than a decade. No longer forced to work in the mine, they were free to take in the fresh air that was quickly filling with the pleasant aroma of the banquet being set out by several of the mothers. Every family was out on the beach for the celebration, each wanting to thank the crew properly for their timely rescue.

A group of elderly men were joining in the musical number created by the two strangest members. The children took their time playing after being checked out by the doctor, all remaining around the adorable but strict raccoon dog. The two lovely female members had their share of admirers, the single and younger male members of the community more than happy to show their appreciation in the form of flowers and declarations of admiration. The crew's cook all too ecstatic to be standing with the many females preparing the feast, and even the grumpy swordsman had his share of female attention. Only a few were paying slight attention to the captain and the self-proclaimed slayer of a thousand marines as they raced along the shore, dodging around the many party-goers.

"I'm going to find it," Usopp hollered to the back end of his captain, ignoring Luffy's boast of finding the treasure before he could. The children said it was somewhere on this beach and he would be the one to find it. It was probably only a small chest of shells or nothing at all but he was all for the contest. Several of the children were on his tail, also eager to start the search.

"That treasure is mine!" Luffy found a good spot and shoved his fingers into the sand to begin throwing the gritty texture behind him in earnest. That treasure would be his, he was King of The Pirates! This was going to be fun!

"No fair," Usopp frowned seeing the large hole already forming. He couldn't dig that fast but that was alright, his super nose could sniff out any treasure, because he was Usopp the Magnificent after all.

"Cuse me," Patty, a young girl of only twelve, cleared her throat to get the pirate's attention. She smiled wide when the dark head looked up to see her standing there. She was so happy when the man smiled, he was her hero. He had been the one to save her from that bad man when he had thrown her into the pit. "Here!"

"Wow, thank you," Usopp didn't want to seem ungrateful at the gift and she was a cute kid. He stopped his search to reach out to accept the strange flower she was handing over. She had been attached to him since he had gone out of his way to prevent her from being killed. It was only natural for her to be drawn to his greatness, he was a hero.

"No fair, I want a present too." Luffy wanted food though. Sanji had yelled at him already for trying to eat before the others but he was hungry. Could he eat the flower? He wanted one too, it was really pretty. "Why don't I get one?"

"Because I'm Usopp the Great!" Usopp tucked the gift behind his ear to show off his gift.

"Don't lose it, Momma says it is special." Patty clasped her hands together to explain why it was so special. "It is special and only bloom once a year. The petals are called Enrichment Petals. I heard her say that they boost a person's abilities to achieve maximum performance."

"THAT IS SO COOOOOOL. I WANT ONE! I want a flower too," Luffy gawked enviously at the strange bright gold petals almost buried in their sniper's curly locks. He wanted a flower that would make him really strong. They could use that, he wanted one too. "Where are they?"

"That was the last one and it's his!" Patty placed her hands on her hips to yell at the rubber man. That belonged to her hero, not him. "It is the last one and he is supposed to cook it. Don't you let him have it, okay."

"Okay, I won't." Usopp couldn't believe he got something so rare as a present. He was going to become King of The Pirates in no time with this thing. Happy with his answer the girl skipped away towards the other women.

"You got to share it, I wanna be awesome too. You got to cook it, Usopp." Luffy was drooling at the idea of sampling the super petals. This was going to be so great, they were going to become stronger.

"Hmm, let me see." Right, he didn't know how to cook or how to go about making flower soup. How to cook this thing? He wanted to share. After all, once he became King, he couldn't allow his henchman to be weak so he had to share with his crew. That was it, he'd share it with his entire crew. "Okay, if you want to share this then follow my lead and don't say anything."

"Right!" Luffy could barely contain himself but he walked alongside Usopp near where Sanji was stirring a steaming cauldron of shark stew.

Usopp stopped next to a beautiful redhead that was gazing at their cook dreamily. That pot was boiling to ensure the meat would be tender, this would be perfect. He balled the petals in his hand and sealed it with the gum he had been chewing on. Now to make sure Sanji was distracted long enough to insert the super flower. The girl stopped staring feeling his elbow barely nudge her. "Hey, you like Sanji, right? I heard him telling one of our nakama that he wants you to make a move."

"Really? How so? The others like him to," the girl was all ears.

"But he thinks you're beautiful. Go show him that you are interested before it's too late. Hug him, or a kiss might work, he'll like that." Yes, Sanji would surely be all for a lovely lady giving him a kiss. Usopp heard Luffy's laughter as the girl rushed off to do as he suggested. He almost forgot the reason for the distraction when the redhead boldly got the blonde pirate's attention by throwing her arms around his neck and yanking him down into a skull crushing kiss.

The plunk of the gooey bullet went unnoticed as several girl screamed their horror and dismay at another making a move. Usopp almost wet himself seeing the pink ball disappearing in the depths of their dinner. Mission accomplished, by the morning, they would all be super pirates.

It was disgusting how every one of them were hanging onto his every word. Nami sighed once more, ignoring the idiot nearby asking if she'd consider staying for a few more weeks so they could get to know each other. She didn't want to know any of them. What she wanted to know was what the hell he saw in all of them? The ass was showing each female equal amount of attention, keeping all seven hanging onto his words like they were gold. Every time he'd smile it felt like she was being punched in the gut. Did he have to act like he liked them all? Sure, she'd be jealous if it was just one but he was still awing over all of them. Most weren't even that pretty. What did she expect? Sanji hadn't changed since she had met him and there was really no reason for him to change.

What was that tart doing? A redhead boldly walked around the table to throw speckled arms around Sanji's nape and pull him down into a kiss. No way! Why wasn't he pulling away? What was he doing? The motion of his jaw indicated that he wasn't trying to bite the bitch's tongue off. Other girls were groaning as the kiss continued for more than a few seconds. It lasted for more than a few seconds, minutes before the two broke apart.

"Go away, please." Robin politely insisted of the last two still at their feet. She was tired of the fawning and wanted to relax. They would be leaving in the morning and she was just fine with the thanks but the marriage proposals were a bit much.

Nami was thankful for the time alone and to have the unwanted male attention sent away. The one she wanted to talk to her was across the beach beaming a smitten grin into the face of a bitch. Did he not have any emotions besides lust? He didn't even know that girl, how could he kiss her back? She hated it! He was all gaga over her when she was the only one around. Since Robin joined, the cook's attention had been divided between them both, which lasted until they came in proximity of another female, then they were basically forgotten. She knew that none of them were really important to him, he saw himself as a lover of women. The ass didn't love anyone but his cock.

It hadn't bothered her that much until recently. When he had left briefly and she had thought he had done so to go get married, she had cried. After she had calmed, she had realized it had been more than the fact that they might lose their nakama. The anguish had been more because she was going to lose him, she was going to lose Sanji to someone else. Faced with that possibility, she realized why it always irritated her to see him flirt constantly with others. Not so much with Robin because she knew that they saw each other as nakama but every other woman was an enemy as far as Sanji was concerned. Nami had accepted that she had feelings for the cook but that didn't help times like these. It just reminded her that she wasn't special to him, not how she wanted. Sure, she was nakama to him but she wanted to be something more.

"Isn't she married?" Robin looked up from her book. The woman was trying to draw the cook into another kiss. Sanji was blushing and insisting that he needed to finish cooking. Or had her husband been one of the ones thrown into the pit? There were so many females vying for the cook's attention, probably because half had given up on trying to get the swordsman's attention a while ago.

"I hope the husband drowns them both." Nami grumbled and leaned back in her lounge chair. If Sanji wanted to catch something or risk angering someone's spouse, it wasn't any of her business. Just because he meant something to her, it didn't mean she could force him to feel the same.

"Interesting," was the cook really trying to pry the woman off? Well, he was fickle about not wasting food by burning it and the molester was being pretty insistent on keeping his attention. Robin was glad that none had gone that far to get the other man's attention. It was Zoro's demeanor that would guarantee that none of the girls would try to kiss him. They weren't bold enough to throw themselves on someone that was clearly grouchy and not interested. However, their problem was also her own.

"Stupid ass, I don't think he cares which one he'll spend the night with as long as it has breasts." Nami flinched when a blonde went to grab Sanji's hands, preventing him from returning to the stew. From the sly smile, she could imagine what that one was offering the cook. There was no way the ass would be spending the night on the ship with so many available and willing women throwing themselves at him.

"Maybe right now," Robin almost felt sorry for most of the human male members of their crew, except their sniper. She could hear the love in Usopp's voice every time his girl back home was mentioned. Those two would end up together one day and would be happy together. The only one that knew about true love was the liar. Luffy wasn't at the point where he was actively interested in a female, despite there being one already that was in love with him. But sadly by the time he realized this, someone else would most likely woe the snake princess away. Sanji was in love with the idea of love, so he had no idea what it really was. His emotions seemed to lie in his lower region and despite his outgoing flirtations, he would never actually open up his heart to actually fall in love. The swordsman was completely ignorant of anything besides the need to improve himself and to become stronger. She had tested this theory several times already, dressing provocatively to see if he would allow his eyes to linger anywhere besides her face, it hadn't happened.

"They are hopeless, all of them, even Luffy." Nami knew of their captain's time with the snake princess, she also heard the admiration that came through but even he was too stupid to realize that he was going to miss out. Zoro didn't realize that he had another sword that he could play with and Sanji wanted everything with breasts to play with his weapon. "I hope she gives him something that even Chopper can't cure."

"I don't think they are completely hopeless," Robin was sure one day Luffy would realize that Hancock meant something to him. As for the other two, "One day the swordsman will find someone that will become more important than a title. The cook will surely fall in love one day and realize that his current idea of love is foolish. It will just take the right woman to come along and change things. Both of them will fall in love one day."

"Thanks," why not kick her in the face too? Nami knew it was true. One day a girl would show up that would completely capture Sanji's heart. That girl would then be the only one he sees, the one to make him become faithful. He would only have eyes for her, it just wasn't going to be HER. Nami had already given up hope on being the one to take that place. If she wasn't that person already, then she never would be.

"Sorry," Robin didn't want to poke at the fresh wound but they were both intelligent women that didn't believe in fooling themselves. They weren't the ones, and to continue being nakama, they had to accept it. What the hell was that tramp doing? A brunette with long legs and wearing a piece of cloth for a swim suit was kneeling in front of the napping swordsman and offering him a bowl. Hadn't the cook just given it to the twat to eat? Why was she giving it away? There was no way Zoro would accept it.

"He took it," Nami too was shocked when Zoro didn't immediately tell the brunette to get lost because she was interrupting his nap. The calloused hands accepted the food and he gave a nod to the intruder. What was up with everyone? "You think he likes that kind?"

That kind being short, slender, and not very feminine. Robin couldn't call the woman ugly with a straight face but the body was rather boyish in stature but perhaps that would explain a few things. He never seemed that interested in her or even Nami, so maybe that was his type. Perhaps the swordsman liked very petite females and not the busty type. Hadn't that one been one of the rebels that had been fighting when they arrived on the island? Daggers or something had been the weapon of choice. "Perhaps he likes someone similar to himself."

"Or maybe he's gay and really likes boys." Nami snorted witnessing Zoro eating the meal and actually listening to whatever the skank was saying with great interest. What did that thing have that Robin didn't? She knew every man had a type, some had a lot of types but what gave? "Maybe we should find company for the night to prove a point."

"You go right ahead, I plan on curling up with a book." Robin didn't want to get angry at what she saw. She didn't have any claims and it would be wrong to wish for him to remain alone. They all deserved to be happy and if that was what he wanted, then she wished him the best.

"I'll join you but I'll take a bottle, not a book." Maybe a map to keep her company, anything to keep her mind off the flirting being done. Nami turned away from their crew, wanting nothing more than to be off of the island.

"Can't we leave already?" Nami tapped her finger on the parchment waiting to be used. She had been joined early this morning by Robin after preparing a quick breakfast for themselves. It had been strange not to wake up to a prepared meal but she knew why they had been left to fend for themselves. Four of them had gone into the village late last night with willing females. It was one thing to see Sanji leaving with a horny female but the others? Even Luffy had been happy with a clingy admirer, someone that acted asexual most of the time.

"I believe they are all on but that is the swordsman yelling on deck. I think that would be our names our captain is calling out. Should we go see what he needs?" Robin glanced up from her book, hearing the shouting begin anew. Were the two fighting already? Why weren't they on the way yet? She could clearly see the port from the window and she too didn't want to head up until they were gone. It stung like hell knowing that the man she had feelings for had spent the entire evening and the night with another woman. It was just one night so she wouldn't get angry or let it affect their relationship. They were nakama, she wouldn't expect more from him.

"May as well, I can't wait to get out of here." If not for the gold she would be totally pissed about this stop. Nami pushed her chair from the table and followed Robin out onto the deck. Were they bitching about last minute details? They had discussed all of this before the celebration yesterday.

Raised voices reached them before opening the doorway. Robin immediately noticed the three extra people on the deck and that the two females seemed to be holding onto luggage. The one behind Zoro had a simple travel bag but was equipped with matching weapons on her hips. The redhead behind Sanji had a total of twelve travel bags, all a bright blue color. What was going on? "Captain?"

"Right, Robin, Nami, we are calling a vote, but I'm the captain so I say it is okay." Luffy didn't mind them coming along. Anya said she could sing and Meina was a cool fighter, they were welcome. "They are going to join our crew."

"WHAT! That isn't calling a vote and what the hell are you talking about?" Nami screamed, balling her fists at the suggestion. That was going too far, it wasn't funny. Why the hell would they allow those two to get on their ship? They weren't welcome here. "You can't invite them for no reason, you idiot."

"Owe! Nami, why did you hit me?" Luffy rubbed his sore head and pouted, unsure of why she was so pissed off. They were cool and they would be good on their crew. "Why shouldn't they join? They are nice and Sanji and Zoro seem to really like them. Why else would they marry them?"

"Excuse me," Robin couldn't prevent the words from slipping free at that muttered statement. Had she heard correctly? Had their captain just suggested that someone had gotten married? There was no way, the two weren't the marrying type. Clearly there was some kind of misunderstanding going on here.

"It's super, our bros just got hitched." Franky was all for it. They needed more females on the crew. He could even build them each their own honeymoon suites for privacy.

"What the hell does that mean?" Nami unfisted her hands but turned to the two that had yet to speak. Zoro looked bored and irritated, Sanji seemed to be embarrassed and had a guilty expression. "Is that true? You two got married?"

"Yes, it seems we did." Sanji didn't know what else to say. The local pastor was claiming to have performed the ceremonies and seeing as how they had both woken up naked with their new spouses, it was pretty much a given that it was the truth. "It wouldn't be right to leave them behind and they are insisting on coming along."

Luffy didn't see what the problem was. Two of his nakama had found someone special to marry, they should join the crew. He didn't want to break up his nakama so they had to let the new wives come along. "Alright, I say we let them join the crew."

A/N: Okay, no flames unless they are done in a mature and actually offer sensible complaints. A few mispelled words aren't worthy of a flame, I'm not perfect. This chapter was more or less an introduction to the fic. Next chapter it really starts and will be more into how it came about. To answer this before anyone asks. Nami and Robin have already confided in each other about having feelings for said male, girls are more open about these things. No, Sanji nor Zoro realize how they may or may not feel about Robin or Nami just yet. The entire point of the fic. At this point they still only see them as nakama, not counting Sanji's obnoxious flirting he does with every other female or the saving, they are still nakama after all. This will be a fic/journey on the two realizing and 'falling in love' with a lot of angst in there. Wait for the next chapter if you are interested and please review for me.

Oh, the girl Patty, had the same idea about the flower as Luffy and Usopp. Obviously the performance it referred to was not devil fruit powers or fighting abilities but she is still too young to have it explained in truth as to why her mother used it on her father. I don't think they had the little blue pill on the island.
