The League of Extra-Sexy Gentlemen

Part 1: Sanji's Dream

The Going Merry quietly rocked with the midnight tide, lulling the crew aboard into peaceful sleep. Sanji dozed fitfully in his bedroom (which was next to Nami's of course!), dreaming of gourmet cooking and romantic pursuits in hope to win the heart of Nami or Robin. Suddenly, though, Sanji was pulled out of his slumber by what felt like a hand on his cheek.

"Nami-san, is that you, my dumpling?" Sanji mumbled as he strove to wake up. His eyes fluttered open to behold a sight that startled away any thought of tiredness. Before him stood a tall, slender woman, with fair skin the color of the moon and eyes that gleamed like garnet stones. She wore a dark gown that was both exotic and seductive with plenty of cleavage to spare. Sanji knew that his libido would have been soaring had he not been scared out of his mind.

"Who the heck are you?" he inquired nervously.

"I am the Time Space Witch, otherwise known as Yuko," the woman stated humbly. "I have come from another world to tell you that the fates of gorgeous men everywhere are in grave danger. Are you listening?"

Sanji was unaware that he was spacing out, and forced his eyes away from her bosom and recalled what she said. Am I still dreaming? he thought, knocking his head all the while. There's no way a sexy mama like this would just come into my room claiming she was from another world, right?

Yuko seemed to answer for him. "This is not a dream, my dear Sanji. It's real, just as real as the impending threat to your life." She saw that the man was obviously shocked to find that she knew his name. "A group of nine girls has been traveling throughout the dimensions seeking out the finest men in the universe. If they succeed, they will use these men to seduce entire worlds to the point of oblivion. Each girl has their eyes set on one victim. I hereby charge you with the retrieval of the other eight men so that you may rise against this malicious force and save both your own lives and all that exists."

All of this took a while to sink in, and Sanji was downright confused. Impending threat? Oblivion? Eight other men? Nine girls? "Oh, woah!" he soon realized. "No, no, no, no, no! Are you saying that some creepy psycho dames from another world, or dimension, whatever…are hunting guys just because they have sex appeal, and I'm one of them!"

Yuko shook her head in despair. "I'm afraid so, and in fact, it seems that the leader of the group wants you as her own. Thus being so, it's only proper that you should be the one to rally the other men and prepare them to fight for the sake of their attractiveness." From the folds of her exotic outfit, Yuko drew out nine golden chains, each with a five-pointed star and each set with a different gemstone in the center.

Sanji admired these pieces of jewelry with awe, and to his surprise, Yuko handed him one that held a lustrous opal. When he took it, he observed how the colors changed depending on how he tilted it to the moonlight.

"The pendants are what will help you find each other and, eventually, allow you to face the one who wants to take you as their victim. I crafted them myself…well, Watanuki did go out for the materials, weld the metal, cut the stones…but anyhow. Each stone corresponds to a planet, except for yours. You, Sanji, hold a stone that corresponds with the moon, rather than earth, for your captivator is the strongest, and wields the power of the moon."

"Wait a minute, hold up!" Sanji cut in impatiently. "Just what kind of crazy damsels are we dealing with here?"

"I don't know much more than the fact that each girl harnesses the power of a certain planet," replied Yuko in slight dismay. "That and their name is feared by all who even think of defying them." She placed the remaining necklaces on Sanji's nightstand. "I trust you to pass the word to your new comrades. Tell them to beware those who bear the title 'Sailor Scout'."

The next morning, Sanji awoke with a headache. He had had a weird dream in which this hot chick wanted him to save the world from some evil planets or something. Maybe I shouldn't have had that third glass of wine at dinner yesterday, pondered Sanji as he got dressed and ready for the day. Perhaps I was more drunk than I thought- Then he saw the last thing he ever expected. On his nightstand, nine stars on chains caught the morning light, and nine unique gems reflected their light onto the ceiling.

"Oh God no," was all Sanji could utter as he slowly walked over and grabbed the opal-studded star that lay on top of the rest. This was the exact same one that the lady Yuko had given him in his dream…What dream! The realization struck Sanji that, indeed, last night's events weren't conjured by his dreams.

In hesitation, Sanji slipped the chain around his neck without any conscious thought. A wave of warmth instantly radiated throughout his body, causing him to shut his eyes and clutch his pendant in shock. He stood like that, hand on star, eyes closed, for several moments. It wasn't until after what felt like an eternity that Sanji opened his eyes.

He knew what to do now. What had just happened while he was in that trancelike state could not be explained, but Sanji had somehow been given knowledge of things he had never even heard of before. Along with that, he discovered a sense of moral strength and leadership that must have been buried deep within his soul.

With nothing less than a determined look, Sanji stuffed seven of the other chains in a secure pocket; the eighth one remained in his hand. He stared at the sapphire stone, and in his mind's eye, he could see who he had to track down and give this to. Once again, Sanji closed his eyes and began to recite a line that, again, he hadn't know before today.

"Protector of All That Is Charming, hear my plea. I, Sanji, bearer of the Opal Star, accept my position as member and leader of the League of Extra-Sexy Gentlemen, and I will dedicate myself to fight against those that selfishly want to use the handsome looks of me or my comrades for evil." The opal in Sanji's star began to glow with a dazzling, multicolored light. "Now, with the power of the Time Space Witch, take me to Fai D. Flowright!"

The glow took over Sanji's body, and an instant later, he had completely vanished.
