"You should lay low for a while" Law informed Luffy "We just dethroned a usurper, destroyed a pirate lords main sorce of power and sentenced one of my fellow warlords to impell down"
"Yeah but we had a lot of fun doing it, the entire kingdom is so grateful, we should throw a party, like this one time in Water 7 we-"
"That's fine, what ever, just listen, now that Black Foot returned my crew to me, I'm going under water for a few weeks. Here's my Den Den Mushi number, and Cat Burglar has my Vivre card, so we'll meet up again later. Thank you Straw Hat" as Law held out his hand, to which Luffy pulled him in by it and forced him into a hug.
"OK guys, let's party!" Luffy cheered as Dressrosa's inhabitants came from all around. With Usopp's defeat of Sugar, Fujitora had a lot of marines to return to base and their families as well as escorting Doflamingo and all his crew to Impell Down. For punishment and for their own protection against Kaido. Luffy and his crew were pardoned for a few days, which was feeling more and more like a common occurence for them, by both Fujitora and the once again King Riku Dold III.
The great feast was held in his castle, with Rebecca and Kyros reunited once again. Usopp and Robin brought the dwarves while Franky and Zoro welcomed all the tournament participants who helped them in their war. Luffy never left Sabo's side, while Bartolomeo was never far from Luffy, though to shy to actually talk to him. Nami, Brook and Chopper were over joyed to see Momonosuke cheerful once more, with Kanjuuro and Kinemon. Naturally Sanji volunteered to cook for the party, but always kept his eyes over his shoulders for someone else.
The party came and left, and the crew eventually went to bed, taking rest in the castle. Usopp was adorned with riches from the dwarves, and Luffy was adorned with riches from the kingdom, both of which mysteriously disappeared when Nami saw them. There was a light knock on the men's door, as Franky opened the door to check. He walked back across the room and nudged Sanji
"Cook-bro, it's for you, some super looking woman with dark hair"
"Robin-chwan?" Sanji asked sleepily
"No, it's someone else, she's got a bunch of suitcases with her too" Sanji got up and walked to the door to find Viola in a travelers cloak, bags in hand.
"Sanji-sama, I need to ask a favor of you"
"Viola, what.. what are you doing here"
"The navy is coming for all of Doflamingo's men and women, and I fear even my royal lineage cannot protect me from them."
"Why don't.. why don't you come in" Sanji said, walking her to the bed he was given.
"Yes, for this is something I think I should talk to your captain about as well"
"Oh?" Sanji asked
"Black Leg Sanji, I have seen into your soul with my powers, I know you are a pure man, if perhaps a little perverted" Viola declared, Zoro snorting with laughter from his bed. "And you declared your love for me, even when I was your enemy. So I ask you, as I run from the law, make me your bride!" Viola declared taking Sanji's hands. The other men of the crew all rose from their beds at this declaration, interested in Sanji's reaction. All the while an ear faded away from the interior of the wall.
"Nami, I think you should hear this in person" Robin said, pulling Nami out of bed and into the men's room.
"And once more" Viola said "Straw Hat Luffy, as I become Sanji-sama's bride, may I join you on your boat and be part of your crew alongside him."
"Sure, I mean if you're Sanji's wife I guess we don't have a choice" Luffy said with a grin.
"You mind telling me why the hell I'm being forced out of bed at this hour!" Nami yelled as Robin followed, hand in cheek.
"Looks like... looks like Sanji's going to marry that assassin dancer woman" Usopp yawned
"Fufu, I never knew he had it in him. Always hopping from woman to woman, myself and Nami included" Robin smirked
"No more of that, Dressrosa women are supposed to be super protective and possessive" Franky said "Looks like our little perv has finally found himself a woman and settled down."
"Where..where would you stay, there are only two beds for Robin and Nami and-" Sanji began
"I would stay with you of corse. As husband and wife we would share the same bed."
"You can have the master bedroom. I built it for Luffy as a captain's quarter, but he just made himself comfy in the men's quarters" Franky offered
"What can you provide to our crew?" Zoro asked
"I am an excellent look out, as well as interrogator, my powers allow me to see all around me and into people's souls"
"Should you even be talking Zoro, you don't have a job on the crew" Chopper teased.
"We could use a look out, and her interrogation powers could also prove to be quite useful" Robin said "I welcome Sanji's new bride to our crew" as Robin offered her hand to shake
"Her powers helped me make the best shot of my career" Usopp stated proudly
"Oh boy we have another friend!" Chopper jumped with joy
"And a princess, we haven't had one of those on our boat in a while" Luffy smirked thinking of his long-lost love.
"I'm going back to bed, nice to meet you, Violin" Zoro muttered
"MMMM SUPA" Franky cheered.
"You should know, there is an initiation right to our crew, it starts by showing me your pan-" Brook began but was kicked in the face by Nami
"No such rule! Anywho... looks like I don't have a choice in it, welcome to the crew Viola" Nami said also offering her hand. While Viola shook Robin's previously, she instead gave Nami a glare.
"I've seen into your soul. Most of what I saw was greed, but putting that aside, I'm not sure I can trust a woman with such... disdain."
"What the hell does that mean?"
"Your clothes for one" Robin commented. Nami looked across to see Robin in her purple silk pajama blouse and pants. Then back down to realize she was in her pink panties and bra this whole time, while Brook had a nosebleed under her foot.
"Secondly, I've seen into Sanji-sama's mind, so I'll ask you this once, if I am to be his bride... what is he to you?" There was a great silence in the room as Nami stood in shock. Embarrassed both by her attire and the nature of the question, angry at Viola's tone and nerve to ask her such a question, and nervous about her true feelings. Nami took a heavy breath
"We're Nakama"
Viola took just as long to take in Nami's answer as the two starred each other down. "Very well. Now Sanji-sama, why don't you help me pack and we can spend the night in my lodgings, for as long as their still mine."
"Ugh, sure let me just get dressed" Sanji said, a little thrown by the mood in the room.
"Very good" Viola said and she leaded down and kissed him with great passion "There will be more waiting for you in my room. Two stories up and the third door on the right" As she said he goodbyes to the room, leaving both Sanji and Nami in shock, and Sanji's lips with an unfamiliar tingle of acknowledgement.
