Chapter 1: Meeting
Busniess was slow on Baratie as Sanji, age 9, tried to peel an apple correctly. "Oh, String Bean! Get your butt out here!" Came the voice of Chef Zeff from outside the kitchen.
"Yeah,yeah, I'm coming, ya Old Geezer!" Sanji shouted, walking outside. Standing by Zeff was a black-haired boy in a white and blue sailor suit about his own age. He smiled with playful blue eyes.
"I'm Saku."
"Name's Sanji. You the new chef?"
Saku laughed, "Yea, Chef Geezer hired me."
"Don't call me that, ya little Sea Urchin." Zeff kicked him. Sanji liked Saku already. The two boys went to the kitchen.
Saku asked, "Chef Geezer always kick that hard?"
Sanji replied, "Yea, but you get used to it."
"Did you make this soup, Sanji? It's awesome!"
"Thanks! Old Geezer said it was terrible."
Saku laughed, "There is something wrong with his tongue then!" They both laughed. After an hour, Sanji and Saku sat on the roof of Baratie and enjoyed the warm sun.
"Saku, have you ever heard of the Great Blue?" Sanji asked.
Saku grinned, "Yea, and I'm gonna go there someday!"
Sanji grinned back, "Me too!"
"Hey Sanji, let's make a promise to go together."
"Yeah!" They shook hands.
Later that night, Sanji and Saku were back on the roof, looking at the stars. "It's so clear!" Saku exclaimed.
"I know! Saku, do you have any brothers or sisters?"
"No, I'm an only child."
"Same here."
"Let's be brothers!" They said at the same time then laughed.
"Go to sleep, ya brats!" Patty yelled. The two jumped from the roof and went to bed.
