This is my first One Piece-fanfic, have mercy on me :3 There will be ZoSan-pairing ahead so watch out! Sanji is kind of a main character in this one :D
One Piece belongs to Eichiroo Oda-sama, but story is mine :)

Sanji thinking
...
Thousand Sunny was sailing peacefully in a vast ocean. It was a rather beautiful day. Sun was shining and there were no clouds at all in the sky. Everyone was busy doing something. Chopper was making new medicines. Nami was making sure the ship would sail to the right direction. Robin was writing notes about what she had learned from the previous islands history. Franky was preparing and fixing Sunny so that the ship would be ready if there would be a fight. Usopp was inventing a new weapon, again. Zoro was training in the crows nest. What about Luffy and Brook then? Well, they were...busy laying around on the grass.
"It is so nice to feel grass ticking my skin...even though I dont have skin to feel tickled! Yohohoho!" Brook laughed.
"Brook, you are so funny!" their captain Luffy laughed next to the skeleton.
Meanwhile Sanji prepared food for everyone, but it was a pure miracle how he always found time to prepare something for the ladies too.
"NAMI-CHAN! ROBIN-SWAN!" he shouted from the bottom of his lungs,"here is some strawberry-parfait for you, my lovely ladies."
"Arigatou, cook-san," Robin said, smiling, sending their cook to the third heaven. "Thank you, Sanji-kun!"
"Anything for you, my ladies!" Sanji shouted and smoke hearts on the air. I am a lucky guy to have such a beautiful ladies on board!
"Hey Ero-cook, don't send those discusting hearts over here, they are making me sick!" Zoro shouted from the crows nest.
"You have a problem, Marimo-boy?" Sanji answered, slightly irritated.
"What?! You wanna fight, curly-eyebrowns!?"
"Same goes for you, you Muscle-head! " They both took a gesture which meant a fight.
"Oooh, Sanji and Zoro are going to fight!" Luffy shouted, smiling heartly.
"Don't destroy our ship!" Franky shouted under the deck.
"Don't waste your thoughts Franky. You can't stop them now. Captain, do something!" Usopp begged.
"Why? It looks fun!"
"No it isn't! They will break the ship!" Usopp cried, but nobody heard him. The situation seemed pretty doomed, but then Nami came and gave them both a good punch to their heads.
"WE ARE SHORT OF MONEY, SO DON'T BREAK OUR SHIP, YOU FOOLS!"
Moments like these made the whole strawhat crew to wonder if Nami should have bounty highter than Luffys.
...
They saw the storm coming. They had no chance to avoid it, so they had to be prepared to face it.
"Everyone, do your jobs!" Nami shouted and everyone did what they were told. It was hard to believe that just a couple of minutes ago there had been a fight, and now everyone was working together to keep each other safe. Yes, even Marimo and Ero-cook worked together. They saw water starting to rise and wind started to blow harder, but thanks to their navigator they were well prepared before the storm hit them.
"Hold onto something, and do not drop!" Nami yelled again, hoping everyone was clever enough to catch a hold of something even without her telling it. Well, but afterall, this was strawhat crew, so everything was possible.
"Yaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy!" Luffy shouted. He was probably the only one who was having fun in this disaster.
That's our captain, doesn't even realise that he is a hammer and if he drops in to the stormy waters we might lose him!
...
When the storm ended, everyone was soaking wet. Luffy was just happy that he didnt't need shower, but when did he even use shower? Choppers fur was a mess and ladies...How lovely did they look, even all messy! But the gentleman he was, Sanji went down to pick some towels for ladies.
"Here are some towels for you, my lovely ladies!" Sanji said while offering them their towels.
"Ah, Sanji, why did you get towels only for Nami and Robin?" Luffy complained in his usual tone.
"No towels for you! Go to get towels by yourself! And LUFFY DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TAKING THE CHANCE AND STEALING FOOD FROM THE KITCHEN!" Sanji shouted when he saw Luffy going straight to kitchen.
"But Sanji, I am hungry!"
"Yeah, me too!"
"Yosh, great Usopp-sama will provide you with food! I am the ero after all!"
"Yosh! I am counting on you, Usopp-sama!"
"NO-ONE IS MAKING ANYTHING!" Sanji shouted and kicked Usopp and Luffy further from the kitchen," Wait at least an hour, I will make something. But ladies first!"
"Am I a lady?" Luffy asked stupidly.
"No, you are an idiot", Chopper diagnosed,"A idiot among idiots." Maybe Chopper should really invent a medicine for idiots, while there was so many idiots on board.
...
After Sanji had provided everyone with dinner, they started, again, doing something they thought would be important. Luffy was laying on the grass again, saying that he is their captain so he has the right to not to do anything. It was a lost fight. Sanji was cleaning kitchen because as usual, Luffy had stuffed his mouth full of food and then coughed half of it on the walls, tables and to others faces. It was a real mess. But it was good that Sanji got something to do, because otherwise he would only flirt with the girls or pick up a fight with that Marimo-bastard.
Sanji felt a painful bruise appearing on his back. Must have hit it in the storm. Probably when I flung towards our mast. I don't know if it is a good or bad think that our Sunny is so strong! Sanji kept himself occupied with the cleaning and failed to notice one Marimo making his way to sake bottles. Just when Zoro was trying to slip out of Sanji's sight with a bottle of sake, Sanji noticed him and shouted
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO DO WITH THAT SAKE, MARIMO!" Zoro stopped and grinned a little "Drink it, of course. What else?"
Sanji felt anger rising but tried to keep himself calm "Don't play dumb with me! Give it back, okay?I am asking nicely here, aren't I?"
Zoro didn't know how to respond. It was confusing. Ero-cook was asking something nicely from him, of all people?
"Did you hit your head in the storm or what is wrong with you? If you want to have it back you better fight for it." Zoro announced and turned, back facing the chef. For his surprise, Sanji didn't react how he expected him to react. He just stood there and watched when his precious sake was taken away by some random idiot. Zoro felt frustfrated.
"Are you really okay with this? Your sake is going to be drinken by Muscle-head." Zoro asked, a little curious about Sanji's reaction.
"I don't have energy to fight you at the moment, so just take it and drink it! But there won't be another chance!" Sanji said, looking at the floor. He had lost the fight. He had lost the fight against a plant.
Zoro was, to his own surprise, a little worried about the cook. But he let it slide and went up to crows nest to have a drink. Sake was as good as always, but Sanji's actions were disturbing Zoro. Zoro told his head to shut up and not to worry over nothing, besides, there was nothing he could do. It would felt really stupid to just go down there and ask if there was something wrong with Sanji.
A little after he had finished drinking, the ship swayed harshly.
"What is it?A fight?!" Sanji shouted. Shit I am not in a condition to fight!
"There is a pirate ship closing in on behind! We should take the ship to the shore of that island and fight them in there, not in the ship!" Franky suggested and Nami was supporting the idea.
"Yosh! We don't have any money to waste so lets fight them elsewhere!" Nami shouted," And Zoro, Luffy, where you think you are going!?"
"Well, there is a fight?" both answered at the same time.
"At least wait till we get the ship somewhere safe!" she yelled, but got an idea," No, I have got better idea! Just go already to the island! You have to lure them to come at you! Your faces are the famous ones, so Luffy, Zoro and Sanji should go already! We will hide the ship!"
"Nami-chan, I would like to stay here and protect you from those enemies!" Sanji suggested quickly.'
"You scared of a fight, Ero-Cook?" Zoro said and Sanji landed an immediate kick on his head.
"Me? Scared of fight? You will see! I will outrank you this time!" Sanji sweared and jumped on the air, using skywalk to rise up and get the enemies attention. And he really did get the enemies attention.
