Hello pplz I have latched onto a different type of addiction called One Piece. Hopefully I actually finish a story, this is going to be a series of one shots of how the different Strawhats went through there different rain storms first off is my favorite character. (That for some reason I enjoy reading angst and violent fics about) Sanji!
Another booming thunder surrounded the ship and another very muffled shriek came from a small boy only 10. His head was hidden under blankets.
He used to not be afraid of storms in fact he used to love them. Watching chefs from the crew who were supposed to be cooking make a huge mess Causing him to laugh. Listening to the rain pour against the deck of the ship. He had played out in storms like these before when we worked on a cruise ship.
But then the incident happened everytime a storm hit now all he could think about was being swept away by the dangerous ocean from the overflowing waves, having no protection from its wrath as it soaked his skin and bones as he tried to call for help from the rock he had been stranded on.
He couldn't fall asleep during these storms or he knew he would wake up screaming but at the same time consciousness meant staying in this living hell. Another strike of thunder and Sanji covered his ears he was literally biting down on his pillow hiding under his sheets trying to muffle out every whine he made this usually worked everyone on the crew was usually knocked out like the dead so tiny noises compared to the storm shouldn't be heard.
But tonight was different he didn't hear the old geezers peg leg walk to the door about to knock. He didn't know that for the half hour the man had contemplated on what to do. Finally Zeff opened the door looking at Sanji who squinted at the sudden light at his room his head peaking out from under the blanket tears still wet on his face. Of course when another wave of thunder hit he hid back under the blanket. Zeff sighed and walked over pushing the blankets off the bed and picked up the boy by the scruff of his pajama shirt and started walking towards his own room.
The boy squirmed but didn't make a sound except for a slight whimper whenever he heard thunder. He then sat him down right next to the window. Sanji looked up at the old man wiping away his tears a slight sniffle coming from him. "So this is why I can't wake you up mornings after storms aye? I thought that you just snuck some of Patty's stash while he's up partying" He mused but Sanji didn't say anything.
Suddenly a huge flash went across the sky and Sanji, to Zeff's suprise, clung tightly to him as the booming thunder soon followed the boat rocking so violently one might think it might tip over. Sanji cried in fear until the boat went back to its normal rocking.
Zeff looked at him knowing it wasn't good to have him afraid of storms usually he would force him to stand out in the storm and tough it out. But the kid was so skinny he barely was learning how to fight he wasn't strong enough to handle that. So Zeff came up with another idea. "Come on let's see if your skills at making triple layer strawberry short cakes had actually gotten edible"
Sanji looked up suprised he would never tell Zeff but that was one of his favorite desserts he didn't want him to know as he might purposefully never make it to piss him off.
Though Zeff himself already knew he had made mental notes ever since he first saw Sanji eat of what he liked and didn't like. The boy never left anything on his plate and Zeff knew that but he had seen with amusement when Sanji had eaten a pumpkin squash casserole that Patty had made. He literally had his face scrunched up at each bite and had guzzled it down with a glass of wine. Zeff at first thought Sanji was just making a show for Patty who looked ready to strangle the kid. But when Zeff had said he was making a pumpkin squash vegetable mix himself a week later he saw the look of horror on Sanji's face that he quickly hid.
Zeff had sent Sanji and Carne out to get some more supplies and had 'Accidently' made the recipe to small so it was gone by the time they came back. Carne of course was raging at Patty for being a fat ass and not sharing and Sanji tried to look annoyed but couldn't hide the smile peeking from his face. So yes Zeff could tell his favorites and least favorites.
"Of course I know!" Sanji said.
"Prove it I'll get the supplies out in the kitchen you wash up" Zeff said before leaving the room.
Sanji glared after the old man letting out a small shout when he heard thunder but swiftly ran out of the room his feet cold from the wooden floor. He hurried downstairs and washed the tears from his face and his hands rolling up his light blue pajama sleeves and headed to the kitchen and true to his word Zeff had gotten out the supplies and was waiting for him to begin.
By the time the sun rose Zeff was carrying a sleeping Sanji upstairs his clothes covered in flour and mouth covered in frosting the kid had made 18 triple layer strawberry shortcakes and had eaten one to himself and had fallen asleep head in the plate. Zeff had grinned when Sanji stopped whimpering and only lightly flinched at the sound of thunder and had quickly adapted to the ships surprising rocking the kid had added more strawberries then necessary and it was a little overcooked. But he knew the shitty chefs of the crew would be eating it all up the moment they saw it. "Shitty geezer..." A sleepy voice said and Zeff looked down at the boy who's eye was barely open.
"What is it you little eggplant?" He asked.
"Thank you...the storms make me rememb..." Sanji soon drifted back off.
Zeff sighed walking into the room and grabbed another set of his pajamas. "Oye eggplant"
Sanji moaned in protest but when Zeff lifted his shirt up he held his arms up automatically replacing his blue four colored one with a red one. Then replacing the blue pajama pants with black ones. The boy was asleep Zeff tucking him under the covers wiping his face off with his sleeve before hearing the shouts of men and headed out of the room leaving a smiling boy in a land of all blue and strawberry short cakes.
During the next stormy night Sanji yet agian was hidden under his blankets whimpering but it didn't take as long for Zeff to come in and drag him down to the kitchen to make use of the accidental overload of apples that Patty accidently ordered three times the needed amount leaving the kitchen full of apple pies, ciders, fruit cocktails and so on Zeff yet agian having to carry an exhausted Sanji back to his room.
It was a tradition after the fifth time Sanji just went down to the kitchen tears running his eyes. After two months Sanji always started awaiting storms so he could spend an entire night cooking.
The Strawhats had just gone through a major storm that night they had to lay anchor and wait it out. They had just gotten up in the morning Luffy shouted "Sanji Me..." He stopped in the doorway two tables were overflowing with many delicacies the others came in Franky and Brook looking suprised. "Oh yeah it's a storm night" Usopp said.
"Cook-San must have pulled another all nighter" Robin said admiring the beautifully crafted 6 course meal.
"Eh?" Both Brook and Franky asked.
"Everytime it's stormy we always wake up to a super tasty breakfast!" Chopper explained sitting down easily seeing his plate was already filled and started to eat.
"Where is he anyways?" Franky asked.
Zoro who was eating jerked his thumb over to the kitchen counter his head on it snoring lightly. "Who's turn is it this time?" Usopp asked.
"Turn for what?" Franky asked.
"Turn to carry Sanji back to his room after the time Luffy got kicked through the door trying to wake him up we took turns except for Nami taking him back" Usopp said.
"Well sorry for not being as strong as you guys or being able to sprout extra limbs" Nami muttered digging into her parfait almost stabbing Luffy's hand with a fork when he tried to touch her food.
"Let's see the pattern goes Luffy,Robin,Me,Usopp and Zoro who went last time?" Chopper asked.
"I did" Usopp said.
"God dammit" Zoro said hissing under his breath slamming his fist on the table.
"Franky can go after Zoro then Brook" Nami said.
Zoro stood up annoyed and walked over to the counter slinging the ero cook over his shoulder. The man remained unconscious obviously he had been at it all night he usually was a light sleeper. As Zoro carried him to the men's quarters he muttered. "Who the hell made you start this weird ass habit"
On the Bartibe Zeff sneezed.
Ok how was that not to bad? Yes/No/Snow cone? Anyways next up will either be Luffy or Zoro trying to decide don't expect a continuous update 2 might happen the same day one might not happen for a month it may be stupid but well...that's me.
