Hello! I've been working on this one on my free time so there won't be any updates for a LONG while. I was planning on publishing this in the future but I got an impulse to publish at least one chapter. There's also gonna be a bunch of repeating scenarios in the future chapters... Anyways, hope you like this, and just so you know this is Zosan/Sanzo fanfic so leave if you don't like. As per usual I don't own One piece or any of it's characters cause if I did then that would mean I'm a good artist, HA as if.
Whats a good saying to explain this? Umm, they say that once in a lifetime you would find your soulmate, and that everything would change…
"Nami-swan, Robin-chwan!" twirling out of the kitchen and onto the deck, Sanji headed for the only two ladies of the ship as he held two plates of newly baked cookies and tea with steady hands.
"Good afternoon Sanji-kun" Nami lightly greeted the happy blonde, Robin giving a similar greeting from her seat next to the redhead before returning her gaze towards the mast of the ship.
Following Robin's gaze, Sanji spotted their captain tied upside down as Usopp and Chopper cheered from besides him. Raising an eyebrow he continued to watch as Luffy began to squirm and flail in the tight rope, his body swinging back and forth as his head barely missed the sniper's own. "GAH! LUFFY, YOU'RE GONNA HIT ME!" Usopp's voice screamed loudly as he ducked down to Choppers height, finally safe from the rubber man's swinging head.
"Oi! What are you idiots doing?!" standing from besides the ladies as he sighed in annoyance by the lack of response from the laughing trio.
"They've been at this for around an hour, Luffy's been trying to escape from the rope since around 9. " Nami supplied the cook with an annoyed eye roll before taking a sip of the tea he had brought over.
"Thank you Nami-swan! Well then, if there is anything you ladies need don't hesitate to call me. Meanwhile I will be buying more supplies before we leave."
"Ah! Sanji-kun, you can bring Zoro with you if you need help with bringing the food back. We all know how much you have to get for that captain of ours." picking up on of the cookies Nami rolled her eyes at the thought of Luffy's appetite.
"How considerate of you Nami-swan!" smiling wide Sanji danced in glee before finally answering "I don't need the marimos help, I am capable of simple tasks. Thank you for worrying though!" Turning around he headed off the ship and into town with one more goodbye. The town of this island was beautiful, gardens were almost everywhere, a perfect gathering for couples on dates. Taking his time Sanji walked along the crowds, letting his feet move him as the various scents of spices led him. A few more turns down the road came the usual sight for the blonde as he took in the view of long rows of stalls, vendors calling out to any pedestrians as they competed with each other over each and every customer that came by. Stopping next to an empty stall he stared at one of the many raw ribs, mentally going through all of the recipes he could use for the next few days that they'll be out at sea. Walking across several other stalls, Sanji stopped to admire the glimmering stones a young lady was selling. "Interested?" the woman was leaning against the wall behind her, eyes scanning Sanji momentarily before veering to the variety of stones. "These are blessing stones, guaranteed to bring you a certain success."
Taking interest Sanji leaned in closer, his eyes zoning in on a certain dim lavender gem the size of a button. "What does this one do?"
Following his eyes, the woman smiled "this is a romance stone, unlike what I guess you're thinking this stone only becomes active when a romantic chance happens. It does not help seduce people in any shape or form."
Picking the stone up Sanji brought it to eye level "sounds interesting," digging into his pocket Sanji brought out the needed beri and gave it to the woman. Satisfied with what he bought, Sanji smiled to the woman "Thank you ma'am I hope you have a wonderful day." Pocketing the small item, Sanji walked off, head occupied with wishful thoughts of a romantic encounter with a possible partner.
Eyes stuck on the blonde's back the woman chuckled as she spotted a warm glow of lavender from the Sanji's pocket "he really needs that."
After another few hours Sanji headed back to the ship, arms supporting a huge amount of groceries with practiced ease. On the way back he noticed Usopp walking around the front of the dock, eyes scanning the passing crowd every few seconds "what are you doing out here?"
Turning to the cook Usopp took some of the bags to help with the weight "Zoro hasn't come back yet, we're heading off soon. I think he got lost again."
Sighing, Sanji handed some of the bags and kept going for the ship "I'll help you find mosshead, but let's put these away before anything can spoil." Click Taking another step onto the dock Sanji felt his world tilt, the soft click of his heel against the wood echoing everywhere and his body going numb as a heavy weight of exhaustion took over, his eyes closing as he felt his body fall to the floor. Thud.
...the thing they forgot to say was that it'd take more than one encounter to finally know who it is.
