"Oh, magnificent milady, unworthy slave would stand up for your honour with pleasure!" cooed Sanji hanging around the girls, who were sitting in chaise longues on stern of the boat.

All other Straw Hats were also here and were eating absolutely delicious dishes, cooked by the talented cook, while Robin was reading to them a story about the exciting adventures of the musketeers.

"I think Nami would be Constance," noted Usopp "Robin is better to be Milady."

"Oh, incomparable Constance, your faithful d'Artagnan is always at your service!" loving cook knelt and reached for Ginger's thin palm to kiss it.

"Are you d'Artagnan?" hemmed the green-haired swordsman, reclining on the deck and resting his back against a Sanny's board with his eyes closed. "You'd, probably, be that womanizer Aramis. You two could be good friends."

"What did you say?" immediately flared up Sanji sharply turning around to the offender, striking matches and inhaling bitter smoke. "You wouldn't even get the porter role, 'cause lords would worry about the safety their stuff."

"I think swordsman-san would fit the Athos' role," Robin smiled with corners of her mouth, thus breaking off the comming quarrel.

"What about me? Who would be I?" asked Chopper enthusiastically looking at archaeologist bottom-up.

"Planchet…"

"Bazin…"

"Mousqueton…"

"I'd like to be a musketeer too," Tony moaned sadly, while the others just shrugged their shoulders and Luffy burst out laughing getting his teeth into the muttonleg.

"Who would be Luffy?" suddenly cried ginger navigator and all pirates stared at their gluttonous captain.

"Umm, Luffy should be the King," squeaked the blue nosed doctor.

"Is he the King?" murmured skeptically Nami, seeing the meat quickly vanishing in the Luffy's bottomless stomach.

"I'll become the Pirates' King!" captain was indignant, having somehow heard doubts in the girl's voice.

"Yeah, you will be, calm down," the navigator interrupted Luffy. "We are talking about the King of France now."

"France? Where is it? Is he a good man? Would he become our nakama?" Nami sighed, stopped captain's questions in the usual for the all Straw Hats way and looked at Robin.

"France is the kingdom in the North Blue," all of pirates gazed at Sanji. He gave a start and waved showing that he hasn't bound with it.

"I doubt the King of the whole country would be glad to become a pirate," said the archaeologist with a mysterious smile.

"Luffy, as a captain, should play the main character of the book! So, he will be d'Artagnan," said the gunner pompously.

"Hey, I'm not going to play anybody" frowned Roronoa.

"Well, the role of gluttony Porthos would be the best for him," the cook blurted out simultaneously with the swordsman.

"Do you want to fight?" pirates exclaimed at the same time again and stood up, gnashing their teth and glaring at each other.

"So, who would be Nagahana-kun?" asked Robin softly, but Nami's words were stifled by an angry yell of the two eternal rivals.

"Defend yourself, si..! Defend yourself, aho-Marimo!" the blondy announced snobbishly. He didn't have any gloves, so he threw his shoe at the swordsman.

"Shitty Cook!" Zoro growled, sharply snapped Kitetsu out and cut the cook's foppish shoe into two not less foppish halves. "The devil! This is a duel! Take out your sword!"

"They used rapiers, dumbass!" Sanji sniffed and exhaled sigarette smoke to Zoro's face.

"You even don't have a knife!"

"I'll make a salad from you with your own katana!.."

"So... It'll be long," Nami said darkly. "Let's go. Leave this two idiots alone, let them do what they want. And Robin will tell us the end of that story with the Queen's jewelry."
