Mission Baby
By Angelwings Sorrow
Chapter 1 "Leave Me Alone"
It was a crisp cool morning as he walked down the pier to the fish market. The fresh catch of they day would be the special on the menu. He had to get there early to get the best otherwise the Shitty Geezer will complain again. Seriously the old man had retired once already he should find a hobby or something. But then again kicking his head in every now and then was the Shitty old man's hobby.
"Oi Sanji I got some fresh Sword fish for you!"
"That sounds great Hatchan!" Sanji waved to the fisherman as he approached the boat. "They're real beauties, wrap them up and sent them to Cerulean Sea."
"Will do oh and Camie says hi and hopes you and your sister will have dinner with us soon."
"Tell that mermaid of yours that we would be delighted. I'll have to check my calendar but I think we can swing by the week after next."
"Great she'll be thrilled."
The tall blonde continued on his way placing order with several fishermen along the way. By midmorning fresh food had flooded the restaurant's kitchen and Sanji inspected every piece of produce and meat. The wine room was fully stocked and the special chef's table in the middle was immaculate for the V.I.P.s. this evening he had a young couple coming this evening. The boy, who looked barely old enough to shave, paid for the best table and champagne because he planned to propose to his childhood sweet heart, a boy he grew-up with.
Ah… Love something he had very little of growing up. His half brother was the closest thing he had to love but even then he wanted to kick the ever living shit out of Duval. He would make sure the young couple would a wonderful night to remember and Privacy. While it may be legal and accepted for those of the same sex to marry there were still a few homophobes that protested quite loudly. It wouldn't do to have this moment ruined for the boys. In a way he was kind of envious of them because they found the one they wanted to spend their life with.
"Quit daydreaming Eggplant!"
"I hear you Crap-Geezer! There is no need to shout! I was setting up the Chef Table; we got a couple soon to be engaged." Answering the yell he turn to see the old chef with a long braided mustache limp his way.
"Yeah the small fry. I've seen him around the town with his seme boyfriend."
"Zeff!" Sanji choke on the smoke he had just inhaled. "How do you know that term?"
"I'm old not an idiot. Don't think I don't know where you have been when you were growing up. You and your brother have had a string of broken hearts leading straight to your bedrooms. Both Men and women were climbing out your window when you thought everyone was asleep."
"Oh Kami, I am not hearing this." The last thing that any child wants to hear is their Parent or parent figure talking about sex. He shuttered to think that the old man even had a sex life. "No more talk about my bedtime visitors. Now why were you shouting for me?"
"Fine have it your way. Your brother called while you were out. Green-bean said he might stop by later tonight." The old chef limped out of the room. Sanji watched with guilt tugging at his heart. Zeff had saved him from being crashed by some falling pipes. The older blond had his leg crushed beyond repair and had to be amputated. Sanji had always blamed himself for the lost of the leg because Zeff was forced to retire after that. Zeff fought the idea of having a prosthetic leg, but the Company said if he didn't get one he couldn't take care of his boys. In the end family won over pride.
"Fine, whatever." Pushing thoughts of his brother away Sanji continued with perpetrations for the lunch opening.
XxXxXxXx
"Nami-swan, my sweet, how are you this evening?"
"I have a reservation for 8 o'clock. I am showing these investors a night on the town. So where is your flavor of the week or have you settled down yet?" The redhead smiled sweetly but the chef could see the dollar signs in her eyes.
Nami was one of his best customers. She brought her wealthy clients and potential clients to his restaurant because it was the best. She used his friendship to discount the bill so she could afford to impress the big spenders. In return the rich men came back and the repeat business was more than welcomed. Nami may have been cheap and a gold digger but she was a brilliant money manager. She was the one that had helped him achieved his dream. She took the money he had saved and turned it into a mountain of cash. He would forever be grateful to her for that but he wished she would stay out of his nonexistent love life.
"Now you know Nami-swan that I have no love other than you. Please enjoy the evening Vivi will show you to your table."
"Right this way Please." The hostess smiled before leading the group away.
"Well brother I see the women still flock to you." A tall blond said as he towered over the chef.
"No more than they do you Duval. So what brings you to Cerulean Sea?"
"What can't I visit my baby brother just to say I miss you."
"Try again shit-head or I'll kick your teeth in."
"You're too much like the old man, you know that?" the tall blond glared.
"So you always say now get on with it why are you here?"
"Can we talk elsewhere? You Know how The Office hates gossip." With a pointed look from his brother Sanji gave a curt nod and lead him through the kitchen.
"Where're you going Eggplant?"
"Not now Zeff, Duval has Office business." The old man stiffened before limping over to the office with the two blonds and locked the door.
"Listen here Green bean; leave your brother alone he is retired. WE'RE ALL retired from the Office so you go back there tell them to stick that up their asses. I won' have them taking my SONS away to get killed!"
"Zeff…" Duval bowed his head in shame. He knew that his foster father wouldn't like him going back and taking Sanji with him but there was nothing that could be done. He needed Sanji's help. He may have been the older brother but Sanji was the stronger and smarter one.
"Old Man lay off it's not Hansom's fault. What do they want?"
"No, All Blue it is my fault. CP9 doesn't know I'm here, in fact I don't think they even know."
"Know what? Duval what's going on? Are you in Trouble?"
"We all are in trouble Sanji. Last week some on broke in to my place and ransacked it looking for something. I would have reported it but nothing was taken. Three days ago I was jumped on my way home from a photo shoot. One of them kept yelling 'kill'im he's a CP9 bitch.' I took them down and questioned the leader. It took aboutfive hours but I got the stubborn bastard to talk. There is a big leak at the 'The Office'. Someone is selling the names from the NOC list. They are not just selling the active agents; they are after retired agents as well. I'm going in tomorrow and telling them want happened maybe get reinstated."
"Are you crazy? After what they did to your brother you want to go back to them? Come home Duval this place is filled with CP9 cast offs we can take them down if they come after one of us." The old chef pleaded with his eldest son. CP9 threw him out after he lost his leg and it weren't for his sons he probably would have lost his will to live. CP9 agreed to keep him on as the Office Cafeteria Cook so he could continue to look after the boys once he got his leg replace, damn bastards. Once Sanji decided to leave, he and Duval went with him. Zeff had no problems walking out and never looking back.
"Dad… I don't want to go back anymore than Sanji does but if we don't plug the leak more people could be hurt or worst killed. What if they came here and attacked and the girls got hurt? Or they found out who Vivi is and kidnap her? We can't take that chance. Tell him Sanji." Duval pleaded with his brother to show the old man reason, but the cold look he got told him he wouldn't be getting any support.
"I'm sorry Hansom but I can't go back they betrayed me and Gin died because of it. I won't go back but I won't stop you either. We'll protect Vivi if they come after her. If you need me I'll be there but I am not going back to CP9." Sanji pushed passed them and back to the dinning room.
His visible eye wandered around watching everyone that had joined him since he started this Restaurant. It had been Five years since he left CP9 and the spy game and three years since he opened Cerulean Sea. Adjusting to civilian life was hard after so many years of being a ghost. Now that he had a stable life and some roots he did not want to disrupt that for an Agency that didn't give a crap about anything except the bottom line.
His whole life had been nothing but CP9. He was born there just like his brother and they were brought up to be killers as well as spies. They were what you call Mission Babies. Kids that were born or conceived during deep cover assignments then raised to be spies and weapons loyal only to CP9. Their mother had been a spy trained in seduction and infiltration. She had been one of their best agents and had a high success rate. Until the day she decided to retire with a man she met in the Civilian area she was living in. She had the choice to tell him about her life in the Agency and about Sanji and Duval, but she didn't. Instead she signed her rights away to CP9 and Zeff's care.
It crushed the two boys and there were no words for the betrayal they felt. Each handled it in their own way Duval hid his pain by being loud and outgoing. Sanji became focused on being the perfect spy, lover and assassin. He treated every girl as if they were a queen and lavished attention upon them determined never to be hurt again.
It wasn't until he was paired up with his best friend Gin that he lost his respect for CP9. They infiltrate Don Krieg's gang and were ordered to take them down. The gang had getting out of hand bordering on terrorist attacks. The government officials were worried what would this do to the moral for the people so CP9 ordered to remove the threat by any means necessary. Sanji and Gin had been moving up the ranks and all was going well until Gin was promoted to the inner circle.
Gin was called in to a meeting and Sanji was to listen by the hidden listening bug in his earring then relay it to The Office. Don Krieg's plan to take out the imperial guard and Poison the World Government building set alarms off and the Agency was put on high alert. Word came down that the Higher ups said for Black Ops take them out before that could happen. What they didn't do was tell the undercover team about the strike and Gin was killed. Sanji only barely escaped because he was not invited to the inner circle meeting with Krieg when the raid hit. Their main focus was the inner circle and they were slaughtered in seconds then Black Ops moved to eliminate the rest of the Crew.
Sanji fought is way out trying not to kill anyone because they were on the same side. He ended up getting shot for his efforts. It was only thanks to his brother that he lived. That solider would have finished him off if Duval hadn't run in with his guns blazing shouting that he was CP9. He had never been so happy to see his stupid brother in all his life. He told Duval so just before he pasted out.
After the Gin's death Sanji became reckless and started going rouge on a lot of his missions because he didn't trust the Office anymore and they didn't trust him either. He was tired of it all the lies and distrust. So he told that he was leaving and that they could go Fuck themselves. The were reluctant to let him go he was their strongest and best agent but they agreed if he went on one last mission that only he could do. The finale mission was to help stop a war that was waging in Alabasta. This where he met the beautiful Princess Vivi standing in the middle of her war ravaged country. The Country had been divided thanks to the manipulations of a greedy blood thirsty War Lord named Crocodile. He and his partners uncovered the plot saved the Princess and ended the war. When peace finally settled over the land Sanji and the war torn Princess fell in bed together each trying to forget the heart ache they were suffering.
Flashback
After what must have been the fifth round of love making Vivi rested her head on the strong yet sweaty chest. Listening to the slow even breaths of the blond spy she felt calm for the first time in ages. She knew that he would leave here and she would have to pick up the pieces of her fallen kingdom but she wasn't ready for that responsibility.
"All Blue thank you for all that you have done. You truly are amazing."
"Ahh... Cheri, you are just in lust with my skills as a lover." He smiled as lit a cigarette.
"As true as that is, that was not what I was talking about." She giggle as he propped herself on one elbow she could see his face in the moon light. "You helped stop the war that was killing my country and I am forever grateful for that. We both know our time together is more healing than lust or love and I thank you for it."
"You're welcome Vivi, I have enjoyed our time together too. You are the treasure of this kingdom."
"You say such sweet things." She laughed but the smile faded and she had a more serious look. "Blue when you leave, will you take me with you?"
"Take you with me? I don't even have a home. Besides this is your home why would you want to leave it?"
"You're right this is my home and I love it; but I'm not ready for marriage and I am certainly not ready to be Queen."
"Marriage? You're only 18 isn't that a bit young?"
"Not in Alabasta in fact I was suppose to marry Koza 2 years ago. But the war broke out and it got put on the back burner until it was over."
"Wasn't Koza the leader of the Rebel army? He's a commoner; I thought that commoners didn't marry royalty."
"Yes that is usually true but Father wanted to bring this country closer together by joining us in marriage. The People would feel more at easy with a new Commoner King. Now that the war is over father told me it was time to bring in a new King."
"I see Cobra wants to reassure the people and they look up to Koza, but how to you feel about him?"
Vivi sat up and pulled her Knees to her chest. "We grew up together and I fell in love with him but doubt he feels the same way. He's two years older than me so I am sure he still thinks of me as the tag along. He's not ready to see me as a woman yet. I don't think he's ready to be king either because the war interrupted his training with father. It would be best if I leave and return when we are ready to lead this country. Not just to appease the people."
"You're very wise for your age My Princess. What will your father say about you leaving without Protection?" The Blue hair Princess threw him a flirty yet innocent smile over her shoulder.
"That's why I want to leave with you All Blue. What better protection can I have than a hero of the war? I also heard a rumor that you have a skill at making people vanish with out a trace. I don't want Chaka or Pell to follow me I want to be free."
"Fine." The blond sighed and stubbed out his cigarette. There was no fighting her once she made up her mind. That's how they met. She was determined to stop the rebels she almost blew up his ride thinking he was a rebel. "I leave tomorrow but after tonight you won't be welcomed in my bed. Our time to heal is over and we need to move on. But I will always take care of my little Princess of the Desert."
"I understand. If that's the case than I best make the most of the time we have left." With a lustful grin she straddled the Spy and kissed him with all the Lust and passion she had.
"I couldn't agree more." He once again slipped his hard member into her warm wetness making Vivi moan in appreciation. The he smirked guiding her as she started to ride him. "By the way my name is Sanji it's a Please to make your acquaintance."
End Flashback
He brought her back and Quit CPS9erased her past leaving no trace for her faithful guards to follow. He had plenty saved up so the got a little place by the sea and he enrolled her into New World University. If she was going to be Queen she was going to need the best Education. At first she protested because of the cost but Sanji put his deadly foot down. He told her that if she didn't accept going to school and letting him pay then he would put her on the first plane back to Alabasta. Vivi then meekly asked when classes started.
Since then Vivi had become the little sister he had always wanted and he protected her and spoiled her as one. She wasn't the only one to move in with him when they left Alabasta. Zeff quit as soon as he heard that his egg plant had left. He showed up at their house with a duffle bag and a suitcase full of knives asking "Where's my room Eggplant? Don't forget to get my bags." as he pushed his way into the house.
Duval left too but he had the decency to move into his own apartment rather that impose on his brother. Family was more important than the agency so there was no point for him to stay if Sanji was gone. He also became a attached to the runaway Princess and treated her as their Baby sister. He declared as head of their little family she was informally adopted in to the Blackleg Clan; that was 5 years ago.
Since then Vivi has graduated from NWU and has an internship with the local embassy under her adopted name of Blackleg. At night she works as a hostess for the Cerulean Sea. She planned to return to Alabasta next year once her internship has completed. Those plans might be put on hold now that Duval was getting suck back in CP9 and trying to convince him to do the same. Well he wasn't going to do it. He wasn't going to risk Zeff, Vivi or the other Retired agents he had working for him for CPS9's hurt pride.
"Are you Okay Sanji, you seem upset."
"It's nothing I can talk about here Vivi my sweet. I'll tell you when we go home. Now get back to work the costumers are missing your beauty." The blonde smiled and kiss the Hostess on the forehead.
"Alright Sanji but you will tell me what our Big Brother said to get you so upset."
"I will Little Sister I would never keep anything from you." The Chef gave her a slight shove and she reluctantly went back to work. Sanji on the other hand went to the bar and ordered a stiff drink.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
"Nii-chan you are going to wear a hole in the carpet."
"Sorry Vivi-chan just a little stressed." Sanji waved here off and he stopped pacing. It had been hard telling his Vivi-chan that CP9 had a leak and that they all might be in danger. She surprised him by saying "Let them come. I will fight to protect my new family and I'll kill anyone who dare to try and hurt them." It made Sanji smile to know all that extra training they gave her to defend herself gave her confidence to stand up for the ones she loved. He didn't need to worry as much anymore.
Now if only their brother would call. It had been two weeks since Duval went back to CP9 and they hadn't heard from him. Maybe no news was good news, but he couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was heading their way. The clouds gathering along the shore seemed to be reflecting that premonition.
"Sanji-kun, you need not worry we can handle anything that might throw at us."
"Thanks Bon Kurei, but I am worried about my shit-head brother."
"Duval will call I know it. Just have faith in him." Vivi patted the tall blond on the shoulder. "I need to run to the Embassy real quick I'll be back soon"
The two men watched her go and then Sanji returned to watching the phone.
"She' right you know he will call when he can. Just have a little faith in the big lug."
"I do he's a good agent but he isn't the brightest crayon in the box."
"Oui that is true, but staring at the phone won't make it ring."
"Fine. Now what is scheduled for today?"
"Just the usual rich people and a few new clients that Nami-san brought in last month and a cute teen couple. It's their first date before for the big Dance at their school. Ahh… to be young and in love."
"I wouldn't know anything about it. I have never been young or in love. Make sure they get the best seat near Brook and take 15 percent off their tab, I'll cover the rest. This way he can take her to a movie too."
"For one who says he's never been in love you sure have a soft spot for it." The face painted Manager said as he wrote down the Sanji's instructions.
"When one can't do they teach; when one can have love they help others to Love. Now get to work I am going to give them a hand in the kitchen."
"Oui Mon Capitaine!" Bon Saluted as he watched Sanji head for the kitchen.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
Okay this was the tenth restaurant on this side of the city he had to be close. Damn Usopp he should written the Directions down better. Shifting his bag over his shoulder he headed on in to the Cerulean Sea. The Place was amazing the ceiling was painted a light blue the could have been mistaken for the sky but the fish gave the illusion you were under the Ocean. Then there was the wall behind the bar was a huge fish tank that went from ceiling to Floor filled with tropical fish and coral. This place was right too fancy for him but hopefully he wouldn't be Staying too long.
"Hi welcome to the Cerulean Sea do you have a reservation?" The Hostess was a cute girl with Long Blue hair looked like she should be in high school.
"No I don't."
"Then it will be at least a ten minute wait or we have a Take-Out menu."
"A place this fancy does Take-Out?"
"Our Number One rule here is no one goes hungry. What would you like do or you can browse a menu while you decide." The Hostess smiled neither rushing nor pushing him despite the line building up behind him.
"Actually I'm looking for someone that use to belong to The Office I work for." There was no mistaking that look. The Girl just went pale as if she had seen a ghost. She knew what he was talking about but she wasn't the one he was looking for.
"Yes sir, if you could just wait here I will send someone to get you." The girl left to attend the other guests, but not before she touched her earring. He knew she had just sent a signal warning to whoever was on the other side to either fight or flee. He had to be prepared for either but he was not leaving without his target.
"Well, Marimo I have a gun in your back and my finger on the trigger." A husky velvet voice whispered in his ear. He felt an arm around his waist and the barrel of a gun pressed hard in his lower back. He didn't even hear the guy approach or feel his energy. Who was this guy? "You have two choices. The first one is, you Leave and tell those Assholes to take what ever offer they sent you with and shove it up their asses. The second choice is you can try to and fight and I will shoot you down here and now. Bear in mind that will take weeks to get you Moss-headed smell out of my beautiful carpet."
"I was told to find the All Blue. The Sniper King wants him to call the Office."
"The Sniper King knows better. If he wanted to get in touch he would have sent Fire Fist or the Monkey. Not someone I don't know and don't trust."
"There's a phone in my Pocket."
"Hmmm. Let's take this elsewhere my customers are starting to get suspicious at us standing so close and not kissing hello." Sanji laughed at the wide-eyed expression as he released his hold and led the green haired man to his back office.
The two made their way past the kitchen and into the freezer. Nodding to Zeff before entering they were sealed inside allowing Sanji to open the secret door underneath them. Once the door was opened he took the intruder down to his main office where they could kill one another and no one could here them.
"Now, Marimo, turn around real slow."
"Will you quit calling me that! My name is Zoro!" He was getting tired of this Shitty Spy he was about to punch him in the face but the sight of the gorgeous blond made him have second thought.
Now he had never been attracted to guys or girls growing up because they were a distraction from his training. As he got older Men and women would throw themselves at him and he could careless there were no feelings of desire or lust for either. But this guy was too beautiful to ignore and the south part of him that had been asleep for many years had woken up with a double shot of desire and lust. It was all he could do to ignore the tightness in his pants
"No I think I will, Marimo suit you Moss-head. Now take out the phone real slow." Sanji smirked as Zoro reached into his now tight pants for the phone. Another victim of his cursed looks. The former spy mentally sighed at this sad fact. His mother had the same gift of beauty which made her one of the best assassins in CP9. Unfortunately you never know if people love you for your looks or you. It was a shame too because this Cactus head had quite the body on him.
"Now what?"
"Toss it here." Sanji caught the small phone and plugged it into the computer next to him. He punched in a few codes and the sound of ringing filled the Room.
"This is Sniper King Please Validate your line is Secure."
"SniperKing this is All Blue Validation Code 1-0-0-0 Sigma-Upsilon-November-November-Yankee.
"Code Confirmed. Thank Kami you finally called Sanji! I was worried Zoro got lost for good!"
"Usopp what the Hell is going and why did you send this Marimo here instead of Ace or Luffy? Hell even the Twins would have been better. I almost shot the guy in the dinning room!"
"No don't shoot him! We need all the Agents we can get! Sanji there is big trouble here and we don't have very many of us we can trust right now."
"I'm not coming back and you can tell your Asshole brother that too."
"Look Kaku knows you hate CP9 that's why he had me call you so you wouldn't hang up as soon as I said hello. Kaku may be one of the higher ups but it's not his fault everything has been going to hell in a hand basket. Things are real bad here Ace is in the infirmary and Luffy only has a broken arm but he won't leave his brother's side. We had to send the Twins out to check on other Agents."
"What? They are two of the Strongest Fighters you got!"
"I know but the leak was worst then we anticipated."
Zoro watched as the blond lowered the gun and began to shout into the computer. He was new to CP9 so he didn't know all the major player like Sanji and Usopp did. What he did know was a lot of agents old and new has been showing up injured or dead the past couple of weeks. All missions had been suspended until further notice and those not active were getting reactivated. In short it was a mess.
"Usopp what aren't you telling me? Why hasn't my Brother called if things are so bad?"
"Sanji, Duval has been shot."
