Another day in Alabasta.
Well, not exactly.
In the Alabasta Docks, the Mugiwara ship, Thousand Sunny stands by there…
With its crew on the ship, talking seriously… after the departure of Zoro of the Three Swords to have a rematch with Mihawk two weeks ago, something shook the blond cook Sanji's mind… Sanji was saying about leaving the Mugiwara, and look for his all time dream… the All Blue.
"NAANII?!" Luffy protested. "YOU ARE LEAVING?!?"
"tsk. If bucket head Marimo is gonna chase his dreams, I'd might as well chase mine…" Sanji said, relaxed.
"but looking for All Blue isn't that easy!" Robin said.
"well, I can hope can i?" Sanji smirked.
"WHOS GONNA COOK MEAT FOR ME?!?" Luffy protested even more.
"I can cook!! I can cook anything SUPAH!!" Franky said, While striking a pose.
"…or better yet, use our EMERGENCY food supply…" Sanji remarked, still relaxed.
Chopper hid behind a barrel "uh-oh…"
"well, Sanji-kun, its up to you, but if you really ARE looking for All Blue, you'll need a navigator to help you out!" Nami said.
"hmm… you're right, Nami-chwan… CAN YOU COME WITH ME?!?" Sanji said happily, with heart eyes.
"sorry, I have a dream to chase too!" Nami said, smiling.
"I DON'T CARE ABOUT DREAMS!! I WANT YOU TO COOK MEAT!! THAT'S AN ORDER!!" Luffy shouted.
"Sencho-san, not letting Cook-san look for All Blue is like not letting you eat meat!" Robin said.
"eh?" Luffy questioned.
"just let him go. He'll be back. Im sure of it." Nami said.
"NO!! IM NOT!! IM NOT LETTING HIM GO!! NEVER!! HE STAYS!!" Luffy shouted angrily.
"Baka! All you think of is meat! Give me another reason why am I here with the Mugiwara!! Besides me being the cook here!!" Sanji said.
"um…" Luffy started thinking.
Meanwhile, not too far away. On the busy streets of Alabasta, A pink haired girl with a ponytail, walked up to the ship. And saw the crew who were seriously talking.
"WELL, YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE YOU CAN KICK!!" Luffy said.
"bagherro!! I know I can kick! BUT THAT'S NOT ANOTHER REASON WHY AM I HERE!!" Sanji said angrily.
The two started arguing. Until they heard…
"Ohiyo!!"
"Eh?" the crew looked back.
"you forgot me?" the pink haired girl asked brightly.
"um. Who are you?" Luffy asked her.
"I can't believe this! I left this crew 2 years ago and you FORGOT ME?!" she answered back, crossing her arms.
"I cant seem to remember…" Luffy scratched his hat.
"well, she DOES look familiar!" Franky said, also trying to guess.
"wait! Is that you, Kaya-Chan?! You changed your hair color!!" Usopp said, butting in.
"BAKA!! IM NOT KAYA-CHAN!!" the pink haired girl is furious now.
Robin was silent and Nami said "I definitely remember her!!"
"WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE?!" Sanji shouted at the others. "IT'S TAKONO-CHAN!!" the shouted.
"that's her? I thought she had BLACK hair!" Luffy said, still confused.
Sanji hit Luffy's head "TRY TO REMEMBER!! SHE'S THE ONE WHO WAS CAPTIVATED BY THAT JACKAL GUY!!!"
"…captivated… whats that?" Luffy said, even more confused.
Sanji gave out a deep sigh.
"AHH!! I REMEMBER!! SHE'S THE ONE CAPTIVATED BY THAT JACKAL GUY!!" Luffy remembered, pointing his finger hard at the pink haired girl.
"hee hee!" Takono giggled "you guys still remember!"
"TAKONO-CHWAN!!" Sanji ran to give her a hug.
"um… I liked it better when you were just standing there!" she stopped sanji by putting her hand on his face, while smiling.
"so! What were you people talking about? You were so serious when I came up here!" Takono asked.
"well, Sanji is going to look for All Blue." Usopp said.
"NO HE ISNT!! HE'S NOT!!" Luffy shouted, and punched Usopp on the face. "HE'S NOT LOOKING FOR ALL BLUE!!"
"tsk, tsk! Luffy, you're like Usopp now! Don't lie! Or your nose will stretch!!" Takono said.
Luffy couldn't argue back. He knows that Sanji really wants to find All Blue and he cant stop that. "OKAY!! FINE!! HE IS LOOKING FOR ALL BLUE!!"
"don't you think that's dangerous, Sanji-kun?" Takono asked.
"well, maybe or maybe not. But I still have to go. It is time for me to look for it…" Sanji said.
"well… can I come along?" Takono asked politely.
"EHHHH?!" the crew excluding Sanji got surprised.
While for Sanji, a wide grin crossed his face.
"R-REALLY?!" Sanji asked, heart eyes.
"yeah, sure! I have nothing to do here…" Takono said, looking around.
"WAHH!! MELLORINE!! MELLORINE!!" Sanji started jumping around.
"well, I have a question for you, Takono-Nee-Chan" Nami came in. "do you know anything about navigation?"
"well, yeah! I've been studying navigational arts last 2 years ago!" Takono said brightly.
"that's good. Because if Sanji-kun gets lost, Luffy is gonna smash the ship in two." Nami said.
"OKAY!! Its been decided!! Im letting Sanji go!! BUT BE SURE YOU'LL BE BACK!" Luffy said angrily.
"if he's with me, that'll be no problem!" Takono said.
"Okay, then, we'll leave tomorrow. I'm going to make a last dinner for all" Sanji said. heading to the kitchen.
"YOSHA!! FOOD!!" Luffy said.
That Night…
The crew was all asleep. Zoro is finding his way to find Mihawk, Takono couldn't sleep and Sanji was on the deck, smoking… Zoro left the Mugiwara 2 weeks ago on to his quest to defeat the legendary Mihawk. Because of that, it inspired Sanji to look for All Blue as well… but now… Sanji was wondering…
All Blue… I wonder how is it like… Sanji thought deeply. Inhaling the cigar. Probably a large bright blue sea with lots of rare fishes jumping around… he exhaled the smoke. Or maybe… MERMAIDS!! He smiled at the thought. Well, im finally going to see how All Blue is like… and I'll prove to all the Chefs of the Sea that All Blue really exists!! Sanji stood, looking up, stretching.
The door behind him opened.
"Sanji-kun? You're still awake?" Takono came out.
"Takono-Chwan? Hehe. Let me guess, cant sleep!"
"you guess good! You? Are you sleepless?"
"well, I'm thinking about tomorrow… im finally going to find All Blue, but to me it feels like its just another ordinary day for me." Sanji sat down, looking at the sea.
"me too! I cant believe I'm actually going with you to find your dream! It sounds so… exciting!!" Takono smiled at Sanji.
"………"
"………"
Takono leaned on Sanji. both of them are thinking too much about tomorrow… thinking what'll they find when they found All Blue… what'll they encounter… who will they meet… and what'll they get… and they were thinking too much they fell asleep…
That Morning…
Franky was the first to wake up. Seeing Sanji and Takono sitting together on the deck, Sound asleep, so he silently took his guitar and started to sing a romantic song…
The song woke the hungry Luffy up. He soon got up and ran up to the deck and saw Sanji and Takono while Franky is singing a Spanish romantic song. And Luffy shouted "OI!! WAKE UP SANJI!! I WANT MEAT FOR BREAKFAST!!"
Well, the shout woke up the whole ship, made Franky drop his guitar, woke Takono up, and made Sanji so startled he fell overboard.
"WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?!?" Takono yelled at Luffy. "I WAS HAVING A NICE DREAM!!"
"Wari Wari!! I'm just hungry!!" Luffy smiled so hard.
"well, if you ARE that hungry, HELP SANJI-KUN!! HE FELL OVERBOARD!!"
"YAAHH!!! SANJI!! WE'LL GET YOU!! HOLD ON!!" Luffy yelled.
"good job for making me fall overboard, BAKA!!" Sanji said angrily, swimming on the water. "HELP ME OUT!! ITS COLD!!"
Later…
"so, when are you leaving, Sanji?" Luffy asked happily as he ate his 47th piece of meat.
"maybe soon. I dunno. Depends if Takono-Chwan is really ready to go" Sanji said. still trembling from the water.
"I AM ready to go! Lets go now!!" Takono said brightly.
"but Takono-Chwan, finding All Blue isn't a joke! I mean. Its not like a walk on the park you know." Sanji warned.
"im sure I'll be safe under your care, Sanji-kun!!" she smiled.
"Mellorine!! Okay!! She's ready!!"
"good luck to you two then…" Nami said.
"im sure your adventure will be SUPAH!!! I wish I can come too…" Franky said, doing a pose.
"im sure cook-san and Takono-Nee-Chan will be okay…" Robin said, reassuringly.
"tell me your stories after you return! Then I'll tell it to the small kids!!" Usopp said happily.
"take care okay! There will be no doctors out there!! AND STOP SMOKING SANJI!!" Chopper said. "DO YOU WANT TO DIE?!"
"pssh! I'll make sure when I come back I'll make you deep fried and crispy…" Sanji gave an evil glare to the little reindeer.
"…plus drowned in nice hot barbeque sauce!!" Takono continued.
"that maybe a good Idea…" Sanji looked up thoughtfully.
"WAHH! HELP!!" Chopper ran off to the other side of the ship.
"so, you're leaving now?" Nami asked.
"well, yeah." Sanji replied.
"what ship are ya gonna use?" Franky asked.
"we could use the Mini Merry…" Takono replied for Sanji.
"well, sure… we don't really need a BIG ship after all…" Sanji said.
"Mini Merry it is!! SUPAH!! I'll get it hip-hop an' ready!!" Franky walked to the bottom of the ship.
"Oi! Take care you two… I cant find anymore good cooks than you, Sanji" this time, Luffy was serious.
"heh, whats so dangerous about a legendary sea which is not true??" Sanji chuckled.
"well, im sure im safe under Sanji's care!!" Takono held Sanji's sleeve.
"im still having second thoughts letting you go…" Luffy placed his hand under his chin.
"I have no problems when Sanji-kun leaves!!" Nami said.
"NAMI-CHWANN?? YOU DON'T LIKE ME HERE?!" Sanji asked, in a sad tone with heartbroken eyes.
"well, take care cook-san… it'll be really a dangerous trip…" Robin came in.
"and remember to tell me your stories!! I'll make it popular MY way!!" Usopp said, thumbs up.
"p-please don't cook me when you come back!!" Chopper begged.
"don't worry, Chopper dear, im sure he's kidding!" Takono replied in a sweet tone.
"NO!! SHADDUP!! IM SURE HE WILL!! AND IM NOT CHOPPER 'DEAR' IM CHOPPER!!!" Chopper said angrily while dancing.
"HOOKAY!! Mini Merry is ready to go!! Haha!! SUPAH!!" Franky posed.
Sanji and Takono went aboard the Mini Merry. Putting their packed supplies, clothes and other odds and ends. While Luffy helped them board their stuff. Now the things Sanji and Takono thought of yesterday were crawling all over their heads… Now that Sanji and Takono were aboard, Sanji stood at the backside of the Mini Merry, Having a final talk with the Mugiwara before they depart.
"well, guess this is farewell, eh?" Sanji said.
"NOT farewell. We know you are coming back!!" Luffy said angrily. "if you don't come back…" he cracked his fist.
"don't worry! I'm sure we will!" Sanji said, smiling.
"well, okay! Lets go already!!" Takono said behind Sanji.
The Mini Merry sailed off. Sanji was waving at the crew goodbye, Takono was maneuvering the ship and the Mini Merry headed westward. All Blue was supposed to be found somewhere in the middle of the Grand Line… who knows what awaits the Blonde cook and the Pink-Haired girl… more Pirates? Giant fishies? Sharks? Or more worse, The Marines??! A few moments later, the Mini Merry was out of sight…
"NOOO!! WHY'D I LET HIM GO?!?! WHO'LL COOK FOR MEEE?!?!" Luffy groaned so loudly.
"well? time for eating! I'll cook my special 'SUPA FRESH CABBAGE SOUP!!'" Franky said, doing another pose while holding a pan.
Everyone sighed…
