The alliance had been made, and everything seemed to be normal after leaving Punk Hazard. It began with a typical day on the Sunny, though the only difference was that Trafalgar Law was now on the ship with the Straw Hats.
It surprised him how long he had managed to put up with this childish crew. That was until he had discovered the reason he coped was because of the appearance of a certain crew member.
"Oi, Lunch is ready!"
The usual call to gather the hungry crew was made by the man Law had set his eyes on.
As he made his way to the galley door, before he could even step inside, he was knocked away and sent flying to the deck by an impatient captain.
"YOSH! MEAT!"
Mumbling to himself, as he got up off the lawn - which had thankfully broken his fall - he ignored the laughs and giggles from the rest of the crew, and dusted himself off.
Making his way back to the galley, he gets nudged out of the way by a grumpy, lazy, green haired man. It seemed Zoro craved the blonde's affection as well.
"Cook, gimme booze."
"Get it yourself, you shitty lazy swordsman!"
As the two started fighting, Law sat down at the table, ready to fend of the greedy hands of Luffy. Picking at his food he glances over to the cook and swordsman. Nami had just hit them on their heads and sent them off in different directions.
"Hai! Nami-Swan!"
He watched intently as the blonde man spun with hearts in his eyes and danced around the table. As Sanji sat down opposite him, Law heard the scrape of a chair and turned to his side in annoyance to find Zoro taking the seat next to him.
"You got a problem with me sitting here?" Zoro questioned, grabbing his portion of food before a greedy rubber captain got his hands on it.
"Not at all." Law replied when in all honesty, he wished it was the sexy blonde sitting next to him.
However, as he looked back across the table, he gave a small smile as he decided that this view of the cook was much better.
Unbeknownst to the crew, and Law, during this meal their lives were about to change.
Like every meal, Luffy was trying to steal more food, Usopp was telling another one of his made up stories while Chopper was listening in awe, and Franky was informing his nakama of how super his new invention would be.
That was until a loud crash could be heard out on deck.
At the sound of the crash everyone at the table stopped what they were doing. A sudden groan of pain – which sounded like a women - could be heard from the deck.
"Eh?! What was that?" Luffy asked and was the first one to get up and see.
"It's a girl! I think she fell from the sky."
Sanji jumped up from his seat and rushed out to the balcony. Out on deck, sat a young woman with long, black curly hair and bright purple eyes. Her black shorts, along with a black and white striped tank top complemented her perfect hourglass figure.
At seeing the beauty out on deck before him, Sanji rushes down the stairs, followed slowly by his crew with Law, and instantly goes to the women's aid, helping her up and kissing the top of her hand. He notices the strange handcuffs on her wrists. The chain is broken.
"Are you okay, my angel sent from heaven? Oh but I am not worthy of this divine grace! Do these cuffs hurt?"
The woman blushes brightly at the compliment.
"You're so sweet, but I'm far from an angel, believe me."
Biting her lip and glancing down at her wrist which is being gently held by the kind blonde, she senses a black haired woman come up beside her and inspect the cuffs.
Recollecting a vague memory of seeing a description of the women in front of her, Robin attempts to confirm her suspicions.
"Am I right in thinking that these handcuffs are made of sand stone? They seem to be having an effect on you. May you tell us your name?"
"Yes, that's exactly what they are Nico Robin, you're as sharp as I've heard. I know who you all are, this pirate crew is already creating storms in the new world. So it is only fair that you know who I am too. My name is Dahlia Yume."
Glancing from one to other –who don't seem to know of her-, she notices the recognition in Robin's eyes.
Law looks shocked at the name and suddenly draws his blade, pointing it at the woman.
"You're that lethal assassin with a bounty of 800 million..."
"Yes I am, and don't point your sword at me, Shichibukai Trafalgar Law."
"800 MILLION!"
"Shishishishi, BECOME MY NAKAMA!"
"SHUT UP LUFFY!"
The two ignore the shouts from the crew –some with awe and others disbelief – and as Law puts away his sword, when Sanji steps between them, he can't help but glare at the assassin. The blonde cook spins around and takes the lady's hand once again.
"Yume is such a lovely name for a beautiful flower like yourself. Please ignore this ill-mannered swordsman."
Law's eye twitches in irritation.
"My name is Sanji, I'm the cook on this ship. Ah, are you hungry? Allow me to lead you to the galley, we were just in the middle of eating before you blessed us with your presence. We'll try and figure out how to get those cuffs off you too, they must hurt."
Yume blushes and lets the cook lead her up the stairs by hand.
"Only a little, though they are rather tight. You're very kind to be worrying about me like this. Do you mind if I call you Sanji-Kun?'
"No I don't mind at all my precious flower!"
As the rest of the crew follow behind, Robin smiles slyly as she notices Zoro and Law scowling at the two in front.
Sanji pulls out a seat for Yume and swoons at the smile she gives him.
"I'll cook some more food for you Yume-Chan."
"Oh, no, don't bother, I'm a vegetarian and I don't want to be a burden for you, making you go out of your way to prepare a meal for me."
"You could never be a burden to me Yume-Chan!"
As Sanji gets to work on a meal for the new lady in his life, Yume glances around at the people at the table. Since living in the new world, not much surprised her anymore, so the appearance of this crew doesn't faze her. However, she is very interested in this Straw-hat crew she'd heard a lot about.
At noticing the dark auras radiating off the famous, Trafalgar Law and Roronoa Zoro, as well as their menacing glares being directed her way, she smirks to herself. Things are about to get very interesting indeed.
"Why thank you, Sanji-Kun. You're such a sweetheart." Yume smiles once more at the blonde, and the glares from the two swordsmen amplifies.
"So you live in the New World?" Luffy asks the new woman, with a wide grin on his face.
"Yes, I've only been here for a year though. My business is finished on the Grand Line."
"And what business was that? Am I correct in saying that you are also a devil fruit user?"
The all-knowing smile from Nico Robin, sent shivers down Yume's spine.
"I'm an assassin...I can't share my business, Ms. Nico Robin."
Yume looks up to meet the other woman's stare.
"And yes, I have eaten a devil fruit. The Mizu Mizu no Mi. I am a water woman and have the ability to control water too. That's why I can't break these cuffs, sand is one of my weaknesses….."
"Yohohohoho, that's an amazing power Yume-San. May I see your panties?"
Before she can even blink, the cook sends Brook flying out of the galley with a strong kick. Watching in awe of the blonde, she thanks him, then turns around to her other side when she feels a tug on her shorts.
"U-um, you must have fallen pretty far earlier, are you okay? No cuts or anything? Your wrists must be really sore."
Smiling, at the little doctor, she ruffles his fur affectionately.
"I'm fine Chopper, no need to worry."
He beams up at her then sits back in his seat while Yume fiddles with the cuffs on her wrists.
The crew's navigator finally speaks up after mentally trying to figure something out.
"Yume-Chan, how did you get here on this ship? What did you fall from?"
"Oh, I flew from a marine ship."
The faces of everyone else in the room show how shocked they were at that answer.
"How?!" Nami was first to ask.
"Oh, I launched myself out of their cannon."
Yume giggles a bit, squirming from all the eyes glued onto her. Being the first out of his shock from how the lady got here, Sanji picks up the plate he was preparing, and places it on the table in front of Yume.
"Thank you, Sanji-kun."
Yume sends a bright smile towards him again while the others slowly snap out of it.
"SUGOI!" Luffy wails with excitement.
"Oi, cook! Bring me some sake!"
Turning away from Yume, Sanji glares at the green haired swordsman, and clenches his fists.
"I told you earlier to get your own booze yourself, you shitty marimo!"
Not liking how easily the blonde's attention was diverted elsewhere, Yume decides to start playing a game with Law and Zoro. Just to show who really has the upper hand here. Although she hadn't been here long, from what she'd heard about Sanji, and from observing how he acted in just this short span of time, she already has a few ideas of how to win in this situation, and she is ready to have some fun.
Yume suddenly collapses from the effects of the sand stone and somehow ends up landing in Sanji's arms.
"Oi. We need to get these cuffs off our fallen angel!"
Sanji swoons as usual, but the crew notes that he does have a point.
"This looks like a job for my SUPER new invention!"
The crew watches as Franky leaves the galley, and glance at each other in confusion. They never really listened to the cyborg earlier, when he was telling them about his new toy, so they had no idea how it could be used in this situation.
"I'm going to bring Yume-Chan to the sick bay so she can rest."
Yume smirks slightly as she gets picked up by Sanji and the man starts to carry her out of the galley, bridal-style. However, her smirk doesn't go unnoticed by Law, who decides to follow them out.
"I'll come with you, I am a doctor after all."
"That's fine, doctor. I'll try not to be too much of a handful." Yume says weakly as she grins playfully, and rests her head on the blonde man Law wants so badly.
He narrows his eyes at her, but the women just winks at him when they are out of the galley.
As they enter the sick bay, Sanji gently places her down on the bed.
"How are you feeling Yume-Chan?"
Grabbing the cook's wrist before he can get up and walk away, she keeps him close to her, faces only a few inches apart, faking a few tears, and batting her eyelashes at him.
"Please don't leave me Sanji-Kun."
"I can't deny a request from you, my wonderful angel."
The cook swoons again, kneeling next to her bedside like some prince in a fairy tale. As Law's anger starts to boil, he decides it's time to have a chat with the assassin.
"Cook-Ya, go get her some water from the galley."
"I'll be right back Yume-Chan!"
Sanji gets up from Yume's side and makes his way to the door. He nods at Law as he passes him, and leaves the room.
Once the blonde has gone, Trafalgar shuts the door, then turns to face the women on the bed. Yume looks up at the Shichibukai, biting her lip in a sexual manner as she gets a good look at him.
"Is there something I can do for you?"
Ignoring her flirtations, Law stays close to the door, and glares at her.
"I know what you're doing. The others, especially the cook, may not see it, but I do. Stay away from Sanji."
Grinning, Yume gets up and walks over to the swordsman. Leaning forward, she whispers softly and playfully into the man's ear.
"Make Me. Hopefully you can see it, Sanji isn't my target, though it'll be fun playing innocent and leading him on."
Yume winks and walks away slowly, swaying her hips slightly, and lays back in bed.
"I'm warning you...don't make me kill you." Law growls before storming out of the sick bay.
Walking away, he spots Sanji, and Franky – who is carrying his new invention, which looks like some sort of gun - and heads in their direction. Snatching the drink of water out of the cook's hands, he quickly shoves it to the cyborg, and grabs the blonde's wrist, dragging him to the boys' room.
"Oi, what the hell do you think you're doing!?"
Pushing the blonde into the room, which is thankfully unoccupied by annoying crew members, he slams the door shut behind him. Before the cook could protest anymore, Law's lips silences him. Sanji, however, manages to push Law away.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?!" The blonde growls.
At seeing the light flush of the blonde's cheeks, not being able to control himself, the doctor grabs the front of Sanji's jacket, accidently ripping off a few buttons and pulls him closer, forcing his lips onto the blonde's once more. It's not long before the other gives in and they stay there, locked in a heated kiss.
Meanwhile, back at the sick bay, Franky shoves open the door, startling Yume, and is joined by Zoro, who seemed to have gotten lost finding his way here.
"Did you just get lost on your own ship?" Yume asks and tries not to laugh at the swordsman.
"I do NOT get lost, things just move..."
Zoro crosses his arms at his chest and frowns. The one he came to see is not here anymore.
"Oi, where's the shit-cook?" Looking around the room once more, he notices, someone else is not here either.
"Trafalgar dragged him off to the boys' room, the doctor seemed SUPER angry about something. Zoro, help me get these cuffs off Yume-san."
Placing the glass of water on the bedside table, Franky notices the swordsman trying to leave. Grabbing the man by the back of his coat, he pulls him back into the room, and over to the bed.
"Hold her wrists steady for me."
Unwillingly he complies, and holds the women's wrists out in front of her, but all he really wants to do is make sure that bastard Law isn't doing anything to his blonde. He's noticed the way that man looks at Sanji, and he's not happy about it all. Zoro's been trying to get closer to the shit cook for a while now, and he doesn't need some meddling Shichibukai getting in his way. Or some women.
Glaring at the women sitting on the bed, out of the corner of his eye, he can see Franky holding up a weird looking gun at the solid, sand stone cuffs. Yume's eyes widen in horror and Zoro snaps his neck over to the cyborg.
"Oi, oi, what are you doing?"
"Don't you dare point that thing at me you rusty old piece of junk!" Yume screeches as she squirms in Zoro's grip.
"Hey now! That not a nice thing to say!" Franky pouts.
"Says the guy pointing a gun at some women."
"Just hold her still. Don't worry Yume, this is just a ray gun."
"AND HOW THE HELL IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER?!"
Not really understanding himself, Zoro holds Yume still anyway, as he trusts the cyborg, even with his wacky inventions.
"This is a SUPER cool ray gun, which I invented myself. This dial on the side here, adjusts the distance of the ray. As long as you don't move and I can work out a safe number to use, we can easily break the rest of the cuffs off without you getting hurt."
As Franky examines the thickness of the cuffs, Yume finally calms down. Still feeling a bit scared, she squeezes her eyes shut and lets the cyborg get on with it.
At hearing the clunk of the handcuffs fall on the floor, and feeling the grip on her wrists leave, she opens her eyes to a grinning Franky. Noticing that a certain swordsman has already left, she smirks as the cyborg bends down to pick up the cuffs, and her eyes gleam in excitement. I wonder what will happen next….
Zoro stomps off past Usopp and Chopper as they run around the ship, and he makes his way to the boys' room.
After that horrifying experience in the sick bay, Zoro yanks the door open only to find Law practically shoving his tongue down Sanji's throat, and groping the blonde's ass. Blood boiling, he shouts so loudly, that he startles the pair.
"Oi! Don't touch MY cook!"
