The sun was shining down on the Going Merry. Several seagulls spread their wings in the blue sky. The deep blue sea surface sparkled with shine. A breeze threaded through the branches of Nami's mikan trees. The rustle combined with the sound of waves lapping against the ship was a beautiful lullaby the Mother Nature gave a certain green-hair swordsman.

Ah! What a peaceful morning!

Luffy, Usopp and Chopper were sitting on the railing, rods in hands. They were bored. They hadn't been catching anything edible. No fish. No octopus. Even no sea-king.

"Hoooo…." yawned Luffy. "This is boring. Can we start a card game?"

"No, we can't." Said Chopper. "We have fishes to catch. It's two days before we reach the next island. And Sanji said that we are low on food."

"We don't have fishes to catch, Chopper. I don't see any." Said Usopp, disappointed. "I can't believe that. We had a big fridge and a large store to save food, but now we had only potatoes and dried fishes left. Thank you, Captain!" He added sarcastically.

"Ma…It's not my fault. We were stuck in that desert for a week. I was hungry."

"You are hungry all the time." Usopp said and Chopper giggled.

At that time, something caught his eyes. "Oi, you two, look!"

Luffy and Chopper looked in the direction of his finger. There, in the right broadside, was a barrel, floating on the sea.

"What is that?" Chopper asked.

"I don't know. It may belong to some wrecked ship." Usopp said, scratching his chin thoughtfully.

"Is there food inside, Usopp?" Chopper asked his voice full of hope.

"No, Chopper. There may be a baby." Luffy said. He held his hand over his eyes to block the sun while eyeing the barrel.

"A baby? Really?" Chopper looked up at Luffy, eyes widened in astonishment.

Usopp rolled his eyes. "There is no baby inside, Chopper. How do you think of something like that, Luffy?" He leaned forward on the railing to take a good look at the barrel. Luffy came to stand beside him. His voice sounded excited.

"Yosh! Let's catch it and bring it on the ship."

Uospp looked worried. "I don't know if we should. It may be something dangerous."

"I said it's a baby, and a baby can't be dangerous, Usopp." Luffy grinned his goofy grin.

Usopp couldn't help but felt frustrated with his captain.

On hearing the noises, Nami looked up from her maps and frowned: "What's that, guys? Why aren't you fishing?" She was sitting at her table on the upper deck.

"There is a barrel on the sea and Luffy wants…"

Before Usopp could finish, Luffy had stretched his rubbery arms out toward the said barrel. He took hold of it and pulled it back to the ship. Nami stood up from her table and climbed down the ladder to join the three on the lower deck.

They stood around the dripping barrel, looking down at it.

"Hum...What is this?" Nami asked. Her arms folded under her breast.

"A baby, Nami", Chopper said, his eyes sparkled. "Luffy said it's a baby."

"No, it's not, Chopper." Nami laughed softly. "Well, it may be a treasure map." Her eyes flashed.

You could see some bills with two golden wings flying around her head. Indeed.

"Let's open it!" Luffy exclaimed.

"Don't! It may be a prank." Usopp waved his hands.

Luffy made a face. "I said it's just a baby"

"It's a treasure map."

"It's a prank."

"A baby"

"A prank"

"A treasure map"

"Oi, oi, oi…." Zoro growled. The noise woke him. It was strange. He could always sleep through a storm, you know.

He got on his feet and walked toward them, yawning. "Wh…what are youuuu doing?" Once he approached them, he looked down at the barrel over Nami's head. "Hum? Sake?"

"How could you jump to sake immediately?" Nami pouted.

"What do you think it is then?" Zoro demanded. At the meantime, Luffy and Usopp were shouting at each other with "Baby" and "Prank".

"It's none of your business." Nami waved her hand at his face.

"What?" He snarled, but before he could do or say anything else, a black shoe had landed hard on his head. Didn't bother to turn around to see whose the shoe was, he unsheathed Wado and growled.

"Wana fight, shit cook?"

"Yeah!" Sanji had just showed up from nowhere.

They stood there, forehead against forehead, nose against nose, snapping at each other.

"What did you do that for? Kicked me in the head?"

"To teach you a lesson of respecting a lady."

And they fought. And exchanged insults.

"Shitty swordsman"

"Ero-cook"

"Bastard"

"Dartboard"

And…

"Baby"

"Prank"

What a mess!

Nami slapped her forehead, completely frustrated while Chopper was just confused. The little reindeer felt eager and worried at the same time. He didn't know whether he should stay there and laugh or should run and hide behind the mast.

Eventually, Robin put her book down. She watched them for several seconds and smiled. They seemed to be energetic in the morning.

"Why shouldn't we open it and find out what inside?" She said calmly. However, you could tell that she really enjoyed the mess by the way her smile widened a bit and her eyes sparkled.

They stopped and looked up at her as she headed toward them.

"Ah, that's how smart of you, Robin-chan!" Sanji sang. His eye turned into a big pink heart.

"Tch…" Zoro snorted.

"What?" Pink heart turned back into bullet.

"Cook-san," Robin said soothingly, "Could you please open it so we'll have a chance to look at?"

"Yesssss…., Robin-chan." Pink heart again.

He lifted his leg and was about to give it a deathblow.

"Sanji-kun," Nami warned him, "Open it. Don't destroy it."

He pulled his leg back and smiled sheepishly at her. Suddenly, the barrel shook slightly and a whimper was heard. Chopper gave an "AHHHH" and jumped on Zoro's shoulders. Usopp squeezed his eyes shut tightly and trembled from his top to his toe.

Inside was something alive!

"Be careful, Sanji-kun." Nami said sweat dropped. Sanji bent down to untie the rope wrapping around the lid and remove it. They looked at the thing and their eyes widened with shock. Usopp dared to open one eye and peek inside. One dead second and then Luffy's laughter began echoing across the ship.

There was a baby in the barrel.

Luffy was laughing loudly, completely pleased.

And Usopp couldn't help but felt frustrated with himself.

A baby in diaper was sucking on his thump and looking up at them with round, dark eyes. He had pale white skin and his hair was brown. No one knew what to do. Then Robin placed her hands on both sides of the baby, under his arms, and picked him up.

"Well…where are you from, baby?" She asked softly.

The baby kept sucking on his thump, his tiny legs swayed.

"I think he came from a ship. 'Cause within five miles radius around here there is no island. And his ship was sunk. Accident, maybe, or they met a pirate ship and his parents did what they could do to protect him from the pirates." Nami said.

"By putting him in a barrel and pushing him away, you mean?" Robin asked politely.

"Yeah"

"Uhm..." Robin was considering possibilities. "What do you say, Senchou-san?"

"We'll keep him." Luffy said simply and grinned from ear to ear. He was getting exited with the idea of having a baby on their ship.

"Uhm, I don't think it's a good idea, Luffy." Usopp said, frowning slightly. "What if we are attacked? It'll be dangerous for him, and us."

"But we can't let him out there on the sea unprotected." Luffy argued.

The baby started to cry. He wiggled in Robin's arms.

"I suppose we can keep him until we reach the next island and find someone who's willing to adopt him." Nami said, patting the baby's head gently in the way to comfort him. The baby did not seem to appreciate that, he cried louder instead. His chest swelled up, moving up and down heavily. His face reddened and tears started to leak from his closed eyes.

"What's wrong with him?" Zoro asked. His eyebrows twitched in annoyance.

"I think he's hungry, Kenshi-san. Here, cook-san." Robin said and handed the crying baby to Sanji. "You can give him something to eat."

"Give me some, too, Sanji." Luffy gave him a toothy grin. He kicked him in the head.

"Yeah, Luffy. Since you decided to keep him, you can share your food with him. That means you have only one dish per meal." Sanji smiled evilly.

"Hah? No! Then throw him away." Luffy yelped. Sanji kicked him in the gut, sending him flying to the railing.

"Go and fish! Bastard! Make sure you'll catch something edible this time."

Sanji stepped in the galley, closing the door behind him. He stared down at the now sobbing baby in his arms and sighed. Now he had another person to feed. Not that he would complain about that, but in this situation, how could he keep the crew full and healthy with just potatoes and dried fishes? And the baby, he needed special foods. Anyway, he was a cook and he was supposed to find a way to solve this problem. Maybe he just had to kick the lazy swordsman's ass and made him dive into the sea to catch a sea-king. He didn't hope that Luffy could be useful in times like this. Actually, that idiot just made the dark circumstance they had been in even darker. Fuck.

Sanji moved to the corner of the galley to pick some potatoes. He sighed. At least, he could prepare some soup for the baby.

"You sighed a lot, human."

Sanji froze in the middle of bending over with his right arm reaching out. He stared at the baby in his other arm. His visible eyebrow twitched. The baby stared back. They stared at each other for a few moments, and then the cook shook his head. He decided that he had just imagined on hearing the baby speaking. He sighed again. Maybe he was just tired. And started to hear things? No way.

"I said you sighed a lot, human."

The cook almost dropped the baby down to the floor in his astonishment. His jaw dropped. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets. The baby's look was purely boring as he opened his mouth and spoke.

"Tch, pick up your jaw and make me something to eat, human."

There. The baby had spoken. Sanji swore he had. Trying to suppress his shock, the cook focused his eyes on the baby he held out in front of him.

"What the…wait, human?"

"Yeah, you are human, aren't you? What do you suggest me to call you?" The baby rolled his eyes sarcastically in a way that even though Sanji was surprised, he would want to kick his little ass out of the galley.

"So, you're not...human? What are you?"

"Oi, it's mean, you know." The baby frowned. "No, I'm not human. Have you ever seen a human baby at this age speaking?" He continued to speak in that irritating tone. The blond cook started to feel pissed. A baby was messing with him. An inhuman baby was lecturing him. Fuck.

He opened his mouth only to be cut off by the baby.

"You're a cook, right? You're supposed to feed me like what that beautiful lady said, neh?" He smirked. God, Sanji hated this little brat.

He let out a heavy breath, moved toward the table and sat the baby on it. He braced himself on his hands and leaned in to whisper through his teeth.

"You stay here while I'm making something for your fucking stomach. Got it?" The baby did not seem to be affected by the cook's anger. He merely looked up at the other and asked.

"What are you going to make?"

"Potatoes soup"

"Geez…Don't you have anything else? I won't refuse some tempura and milk. Ramen or sushi is good, too"

Calm down, Sanj!. Calm down! He's just a baby. A fucking annoying baby.

"No," the cook snarled, "All we have is potatoes. But, of course, if you want dried fishes, you can try some." The baby shook his head and pulled his tiny legs up to stretch them in front of him. Sanji stared at the baby patiently as he shifted himself for a more comfortable posture. Well, at least the cook tried.

"No, how can I eat dried fishes? They're not good for a baby's stomach. You're supposed to know that as a cook." For that, he had just asked for tempura and sushi!

Sanji'd glared at him for a whole minute before he forced himself to turn around. He wasn't so sure of himself to stand there and not kick that brat in the face. He picked some potatoes, brought them to the sink and started to peel them. The baby rolled his eyes from left to right, taking in the sight of the galley.

"A pirate ship, huh?"

The cook didn't miss the ridicule in his tone but told himself to just ignore it. He couldn't stand a conversation with that bastard.

"I've met lots of people before; many of them were just like you, pirate and bad temper." Despite of his words of not talking to the baby, Sanji felt a little curious.

"If you are not human, so who are you? And what are you doing here?"

"Oh, you finally come to the point. I am a god."

"A god?" Sanji asked suspiciously.

"Yeah"

The cook stared at the baby on the table and a small smirk curled his lips. "What kind of god are you?"

"Love" came the simple answer. Sanji rolled his eyes. This baby was definitely fucking with him.

"Like Cupid?"

"Um, you can say that. But I'm not him, of course."

"So, you are…real? I mean, the likes of you really exist?"

"We do, in fact. You are seeing me, talking to me. What do you think I am doing if not existing?" His nose twitched in a disappointed snort.

"Yeah, whatever."

"What was that reaction? You don't believe?" The brown hair god straightened his back and looked at the blond in the eyes.

"Not really."

"Whatever. I don't think I have to explain it or prove it to you. I am what I am, whether you believe it or not." The god was now lying on his back. He held his little feet in his hands, swaying slightly. Sanji couldn't help but chuckled at the sight.

After breakfast with potatoes soup and broiled tuna, which the idiots managed to catch by rods, bare hands and even Usopp's kinds of ammunitions and with a wet swordsman after jumping into the sea to drag his captain's ass back to the ship, things started to explode. Everyone seemed to be interested in the baby god. Everyone except Zoro. Needless to include Sanji since he was already pissed.

The baby god was pacing back and forth in front of the crew on the deck, swinging his arms as he told them about himself and his responsibility as a god. Luffy and Chopper had their mouths open, their eyes widen with every word and cut in with "Really?" any time the god paused and nodded solemnly. Usopp was starting to babble about what he would have done if he had been a god. Robin and Nami were charmed with his baby voice and his angel face. And when Zoro asked him why the fuck didn't he tell them he was hungry instead of crying in the first place, the baby smiled at him evilly.

"I'm a baby after all. A baby is supposed to cry when he is hungry, right?"

Sanji laughed which made Zoro get even more pissed. He got to his feet and unsheathed his swords. Sanji reacted instantly, tapping his toe on the wooden floor. And they picked up another fight of the day.

At the end of the day, the love god retreated to the men quarter to avoid Luffy and Zoro, who were after him. Luffy wanted to play with him, which meant he wanted to throw the god into the air to see if he could fly. Zoro, on the other hand, wanted to slice him for disturbing his naps. Now he and Chopper were sitting on a couch with a blanket covering both of them like a small tent.

"You are the funniest people I've ever met. The ladies are so sweet and kind. So are you." The god said, smiling.

"Idiot! That doesn't make me happy. Idiot! Idiot!" Chopper wiggled on his seat, a pink line made it way across his nose bridge and he smiled happily.

The baby god laughed at the little reindeer's embaressment.

"I don't like that green hair man, though. He sleeps and growls all day. And the cook, he glares at me whenever I step in the kitchen. They fought for every stupid reason." He complained. Chopper snickered, whispering under his breath.

"They're always like that. I've been wondering why they hate each other that much. I wish they could get along better. We're nakama, after all."

"You do? Hum!" The god scratched his chin and frowned. He stared at the reindeer for a while, and then a grin slowly formed on his baby face.

"Well, even though I don't appreciate their atitudes, the others were cute and the food was just great, I think I'll help them a bit."

"Huh? What do you mean?" Chopper asked curiously.

The baby simply smirked.
