One Piece and all it's characters belong to Eiichiro Oda.

Sunny morning, active breakfast, a couple of fights in the galley… It was all the Strawhats could wish for, especially after declaring war to the Government and having been revealed an astonishing truth about their captain and meeting with horrifying creatures and scary zombies in a Shichibukai's ship. It was actually a great blessing to have such a normal day. Their type of normal, anyways.

"WOW! REALLY?" was heard across the deck.

"YES! And then I grabbed his tail with my special gloves and lifted it! It weighted about 4 tons!"

"AWSOME, USSOP!"

"He he, isn't it? Then I threw it away from my island and it never came back!" finished the story the young sharpshooter.

"Hooray!" Said both Luffy and Chopper, who had been listening to Ussop's story about a giant eel that wanted to fry everyone in his village and then him figuring out that his rubber gloves for the dishes were the only way to touch the sea monster.

At that moment, Sanji got out of the galley and went to look for the girls, who were in the Aquarium Bar. Luffy noticed this and paid close attention to the cook. When he saw the girls coming from downstairs followed by a love-sick chef his suspicions were confirmed.

He had sniffed the food from afar for a long time now but he never knew when it was ready, and since Sanji said that this food had to be in silence and that he would ruin it if he had entered the kitchen, he waited patiently for the food to be ready. And that time was now.

"Sanji?" called the captain.

Sanji turned around to his captain but didn't say anything. Both men stared each other for awhile. Sanji had already realized what Luffy wanted since he called him. In fact, he had a shiver through his spine when that endless stomach monster called him. Sanji just hoped that Luffy hadn't noticed that the food was actually ready.

After some time of silence, Sanji noticed that Luffy wasn't the only one watching him. The rest of the crew, even Nami and Robin who were in front of the galley door, were watching, turning from the captain to the cook and back again, over and over. But Luffy just kept staring at him, like he hadn't noticed.

Then happened what he feared. A small smile revealed the teeth behind it and slowly it transformed into a huge grin on the younger one's face. After what seemed like a second, a black flash of color was racing a red one to the galley door, the black one being faster and meeting his leg with the once red flash's face. Luffy went flying to the mast and collided with it on his back, and then he fell to the grassy deck, staying there with a huge bulge on his forehead still fuming.

"Luffy!" Yelled the cook, " this meal is small since it's so hard to make so you'll enter the galley after everyone finished the main dish and are ready for dessert! Did I make myself clear? No entering the galley until I say so!"

With that, the captain rose a bit to see in front of him.

"But Sanji! I've been smelling it for hours now! Almost all day! I want to eat!"

"I'll give you a simple dish before you can enter."

"But-!"

"No buts! I'll make sure there's some left for you."

Luffy pouted at this. He couldn't argue anymore, all he wanted was to taste that food that smelled so well. He could wait longer.

"But I want to be with you, guys!"

"Just this meal, Luffy. Just this once," Said Sanji in a lower tone, finishing the argument even though he knew the other one might not let it go. After a while, Luffy nodded and so agreed to wait, as long as it was just this time.

".. Fine," Luffy said before he changed to a sitting position

"Luffy!"

"Hm? Oh, Sanji! Can I come in yet?" said Luffy while popping out of the Crow's Nest roof.

"Not really, no," replied Sanji while Luffy jumped towards the deck. "I just came here to give you a snack so you don't starve."

"Oh, thanks Sanji!" He grabbed the plate that Sanji had on his hand and ate the sandwich in it. "Ey, anji, ow muhh ime befoe eweyoe fihies-"

"Damn it, Luffy, eat then speak!" After that, Luffy swallowed it whole.

"Sorry, Sanji. I was asking you how much time before everyone finishes the special food."

Before Sanji could answer, the galley's door opened and revealed Brook behind it. Both men faced the white bones at the door.

"Ah! Sorry if I'm interrupting."

"It's fine Brook, what is it?" asked Sanji.

"Luffy-san, everyone has finished, the food is ready for you on the table."

And so, the red flash was seen again and headed through the door, almost making the skeleton fall. Brook went back in followed by Sanji. The room started to feel more cheerful once their captain was in it.

After that great meal, nothing would annoy them that day; even Zoro was in a great mood. The day was slowly ending and the sea was calm. Nami had announced that they would drop anchor all afternoon and set sail once the wind blew stronger. Now everyone was getting ready to sleep. The boys had said their good nights to the girls, especially Sanji, who accompanied both women to their door's quarters and then headed to the Crows Nest to take his turn on watch.

In the men's quarters, everyone was in their bunks, making themselves comfy with their blankets. The silence reigned the room once everyone was waiting their consciousness to fall, a silence a bit uncomfortable.

"Good night everyone," said Luffy. And a choir of 'Good night' answered him. After that, silence was the only thing that was heard, but this one was relaxing and soothing. It helped everyone to fall asleep. Luffy smiled in the darkness, he wasn't sure if anyone else smiled too, but he knew that they were pleased. Soon, everyone was sleeping.

Though, no matter how quiet the ship was, it was never completely hushed. The breathing of each and every crew member was heard if you paid close attention. But this night's quietness was even more… quiet.

Every night there was a symphony of sorts, where each and every breathing sound of each person synchronized. But this time, there was something missing. Yet no one has noticed.

First complete chapter I've ever made. Quite neutral, nothing plot-wise happening here, just to set a mood. Also, I ended this here no thanks to writing block. I hope you enjoy this! I don´t know when the next chapter is gonna be up. At least I don't have many readers yet, yay! One more thing, I'm bad at fic and chapter titles. Feel free to correct me in any mistakes I've made.
