This is not only my first One Piece fic but also my first shonen-ai fic. Well the first that doesn't read like it was written by a five year old, so I'm not sure how it's going to turn out. It may yet start to read like a five year olds' work. Since its shonen-ai so if you don't like it don't read it, simple as that.

Pairings are going to be Ace/Sanji and Zoro/Luffy. There might be some reference to Robin/Nami at the end, but I'm not really sure about that yet.

And in case any of you couldn't guess my name's not Eiichiro Oda so I don't own One Piece.

Playing with Fire

Arrested

Sanji walked back through the port caring a multitude of different bags and one large box. All of them filled with vegetables, wine and other cooking ingredients he'd need. He was grateful the butcher had offered to deliver his order to their boat. Carrying meat for the stomach that was equivalent to a small army that was Luffy and then enough for everyone else on top of that was a real pain.

The Going Merry came into view but there was no sign of Usopp on deck. Sanji reasoned the sniper had gone below deck to see what chemicals he was running low on. He called out to him to come and give him a hand. A few minutes later and there was still no sign of the sniper. He began to load his supplies on the ship by himself

"I ought to give him a good kick," Sanji grumbled as he made his last trip onto the deck with the last of his shopping. "Lazy liar, knowing him he's probably suffering from a bout of a rare disease that prevents him from doing any heavy lifting."

He walked over to the galley and looked through the small window. Sat at the table was Usopp. His head was resting against his hands almost as if he were cowering. Sanji kicked the door open; he'd soon give him a reason to cower.

"Usopp what the hell are you doing? Didn't you here me call you for some help?" Sanji practically shouted.

"Sorry Sanji, I couldn't…" Usopp began.

"You couldn't," Sanji cut him off. "What the hell's that supposed to mean?"

"It means I wouldn't let him," a voice from under the table said.

Fullbody climbed out from under the table and took a seat next to Usopp on the bench. He had a gun pointed at his head.

"What the hell are you doing here? Weren't you under a major flagship last time I saw you? I wouldn't have thought the marines would be letting someone as useless as you out on your own," Sanji said.

"I got permission after I explained my plan for capturing you all. And the bst part of it is I get to take you prisoner first."

"You're delusional if you think you're taking anyone prisoner. I think I'd like to kick you off our ship now."

"I wouldn't recommend that," Fullbody said as he stamped on the ship's floor.

From below twenty marines soldiers rushed out on deck and surrounded Sanji. They all aimed guns at his chest.

"Is this a joke? I can take these men out in about five seconds."

"And I can pull this trigger in about two. See what happens to your friend if you raise a leg against my men."

"You bastard. What do you want?"

"I'm placing you under arrest. Do you have anything to say about it?"

Sanji stood there. There was nothing he could do. Fullbody might have been bluffing about Usopp, but Usopp was a pirate and Fullbody a member of the marines so he probably wasn't. Sanji couldn't take that chance and let the sniper be shot.

"Thought not, chain him and don't forget his legs."

Fullbody took a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and put a call into the ship. Two men had fetched some chains from below deck. One of them chained Sanji's wrists while the other chained his ankles.

Sanji tried to walk and nearly fell flat on his face. If it weren't for the fact that he had good balance he probably would have fallen. He couldn't even stretch his legs out enough to walk yet alone kick anyone.

"Make your way to the deck, our ship will be here soon," Fullbody ordered.

Guns poked into Sanji's back ushering him in the direction of the deck. Fullbody rose and watched as Sanji shuffled his way over to the stairs. He finally had that bastard cook and with the co-operation of the marine base he had borrowed a ship from they could get the entire Straw Hat crew. It would go a great way to repairing his tarnished image with the marines. Hell it would probably leave him in a better position then before he set foot on Baratie.

"Sanji I'm sorry," Usopp cried as he pushed past Fullbody to get to the deck. "They snuck up on me when I went to the bathroom. I couldn't do anything."

"Shut him up, but don't kill him," Fullbody ordered.

A few of the men began to punch and kick at Usopp till he collapsed to the ground. He was still conscious but quite badly beaten. They tied a gag round his mouth so he wouldn't be able to call for help; they then tied him to the ship's mast facing the ocean.

A marine ship pulled up against the Going Merry. Usopp noted the sails had the number 15 on them. That must mean they were part of the 15th division. They would be able to track down what island they were based at and rescue Sanji. The marines really were stupid to let him see that bit of information.

Two men threw Sanji onto the marine ship since he couldn't jump over himself. Once all the men were on board the ship set off and Usopp was left alone again.

"Usopp we're back!" Chopper called as he climbed on deck followed by Nami and Robin.

The three of them had all gone to the bookshop together. Nami had found several maps she thought would be useful and Robin a new history book. But the shop had no medical books that Chopper didn't already own. He was feeling disappointed and hoped the sniper would have some wonderful story for him. He thought maybe Usopp had had to defend their ship from the marines while they'd been gone and he wanted to be the first to hear all about it.

"That's strange," Robin said, "it looks like Sanji must have been back because there's some shopping by the kitchen door. But why didn't he put it away?"

"There's some rope round the mast. We didn't do that did we?" Nami questioned as she went to investigate.

She walked round to the other side to find Usopp sat against the mast, the rope binding him to it and a gag over his mouth. He was in pretty bad shape, covered in cuts and bruises.

"Chopper come here," Nami called as she removed the gag from his mouth.

"What is it Nami?" Chopper asked as he trotted round to join her. He began to panic when he saw Usopp. "Quickly someone call a Dr."

"That's why I called you."

"Oh yeah, I'm the Dr."

"They took Sanji," Usopp began.

"You can tell us everything later. We should treat your wounds first."

Nami untied the rope and Chopper transformed to his larger form and bent down to pick Usopp up. He supported him as they walked together below deck.

Chopper examined him; luckily none of his wounds were too serious. He cleaned the cuts with some antiseptic and bandaged Usopp. Nami and Robin stood by the doorway waiting for Chopper to finish treating him so they could find out what happened.

"What happened to Sanji?" Chopper asked.

"We're back!" Luffy's voice echoed round the ship before Usopp could begin to explain.

"Where's everyone?" Zoro wondered.

"I don't know but Sanji left me food."

Zoro grabbed Luffy's vest before he could eat their supplies.

"I'm sure that's not meant for you. What the hell's that moronic love cook thinking leaving food where you can see it?"

"But Zoro I'm hungry."

Luffy pouted turning puppy dog eyes up at him. Zoro looked away that look of Luffy's had a tendency to make him lose his resolve and that wouldn't be good for them now. He was the only thing preventing them from losing their food.

"We only just ate."

"That was ages ago cos you got us lost coming back to the ship."

"Me? You're the one that got us lost."

"Shut up you two and come below deck," Nami called from the stairs.

"Huh Nami, what's going on?" Luffy questioned.

"Just hurry up."

Zoro kept a hold on Luffy; he didn't trust the boy not to make a dash for the food before going below deck. They joined Robin and Nami the later having taken her position by the doorway again.

"What happened Usopp?" Luffy asked as soon as he saw him.

"The marines arrested Sanji," Usopp began.

"Figures that idiot would get himself caught," Zoro said.

"It wasn't his fault it was mine. The guy that shot at us when we first got to Baratie, then again after leaving Nami's village. Iron Fist something or another, he was the one that took him. He threatened to shoot me if Sanji tried to resist. I'm sorry Luffy."

"So what do we do now?" Nami asked.

"Isn't it obvious? We rescue Sanji!" Luffy declared. "There's no way we can just leave him."

"But we don't know where Sanji is."

"The 15th division has him," Usopp said. "I saw the sails so I know the ship came from the 15th division."

"It's probably going to be a trap for the rest of us then if they let you see that," Robin said.

"That doesn't matter. Sanji's our cook we can't leave him in jail," Luffy said.

Ace was going through several files in one of the offices of the 15th division navel base. He'd asked around for information about Blackbeard and someone had pointed him in this direction. It had been well over two hours since he'd first arrived and he'd gone through most of the files in that time. He was beginning to suspect that he'd questioned his informant a little too harshly. The guy had probably just told him to look here to get away from Ace.

"Damnit!" he exclaimed as he threw yet another file on the floor.

The office was now completely littered with papers. Before Ace could grab another file to start looking through he fell asleep. His body collapsing to the ground amidst all the papers he'd already searched through.

Sanji was pushed inside the small cell. He tripped against the metal bar that ran along the ground. He felt thankful that they'd chained his hands in front of him, or he'd have been kissing the concrete floor. The two men that had lead him there pulled the door shut and locked it behind them. He managed to pull himself up and shuffle over to the bed where he sat and waited. He knew he'd have to wait at least a day before they would come and rescue him. Nami had said it would take another day for their position to be recorded and Nami was never wrong about anything like that.

Clumsily he reached into his pocket and managed to pull out a pack of cigarettes and his lighter. He managed to light a cigarette and get everything back in his pockets.

"I bet you never expected this to happen," Fullbody stated smugly from the other side of the bars.

"I guess I didn't expect someone as stupid as you to come up with such a clever plan. But it doesn't matter cos I won't be here for long," Sanji replied as he sat back and tried to make himself look comfortable to annoy Fullbody.

Fullbody simply unlocked the door and stepped in he watched Sanji carefully as he continued to smoke, not paying any attention to his presence. As Sanji went to take another drag Fullbody punched him hard across the face. The cigarette he had been holding fell to the floor as Sanji fell against the bed. Blood trickled from his mouth.

Fullbody laid into him not pulling a single punch. The cook had been asking for it ever since he showed him up at Baratie. Now was his chance for his long awaited revenge.

"What the hell are you doing in here?" a voice shouted.

"Huh?" Ace mumbled as he woke.

He sat up from the floor and pulled a piece of paper that had stuck to his face off. He wiped the drool at the corner of his mouth that had caused the sheet to stick to him.

"I said what are you doing here?" the marine soldier repeated as he pointed his gun at Ace.

"Go to hell," Ace said as he shot a ball of fire at the soldier.

There wasn't time to look through the other files now that he'd been caught in the base. It would probably have been useless anyway. If he ever found that guy again he was going to punch him a few more times for lying to him.

He ran out the office and looked down both sides of the corridor. Both ways were empty, but Ace couldn't remember which way he'd used to get in. He turned left, deciding it was probably the right way.

He came to a flight of stairs that lead down. He didn't remember climbing up any stairs, but then again he didn't really remember how he got in. He soon realised that he'd made a mistake he should have gone right. Ace was now in the detainment facility of this base. He turned round to leave when a figure collapsed on the floor caught his eye. As he looked closer he realised he knew the person. It was the cook from his brother's ship. And he'd been worked over pretty badly.

Ace debated for a moment as to whether he should take the cook. Luffy would probably be on his way to rescue him so the cook wouldn't be there long. But at the same time if he left him there would he be able to stand any more beatings?

Ace decided the best thing to do would be to take him. He could wait at the next island and Luffy could catch up to them and reclaim his cook. His decision made Ace melted the lock on the door and kicked it in. The commotion caused Sanji to stir.

"You here already Luffy?" Sanji asked not looking up from the ground.

"Wrong brother," Ace replied as he bent down to help him up.

"Ace?"

"The one and only, come on let's get out of here."

Ace put Sanji's right arm round his shoulder and his left round Sanji's waist. Slowly they made their way up the stairs only to be greeted by what were possibly all the men stationed at this base. Fullbody was amongst them.

"What the hell are you doing with him?" Fullbody raged to Ace.

"He's a friend of my brother's I thought I'd be nice and break him out."

"He's staying under arrest. And I'm placing you under arrest too."

"Not likely."

He held out his right hand and sent a stream of fire towards all of them. They went up in flames and began to run around in a panic. Most of them dropping to the floor and rolling for all they were worth. Ace and Sanji tried to pick their way through the mass of bodies on the floor. With the condition Sanji was in it was quite difficult.

Some of the men were beginning to pick themselves up, the fire on them extinguished. There wasn't time for them to walk through. Ace quickly swept Sanji into his arms. With the cook in his arms like a bride Ace ran out of the base.

They made it to his small boat without being chased. The men that had extinguished themselves were probably too busy helping their friends and stopping the base from going up in flames to come after them. He laid Sanji down in the boat and set sail.

So what do you think? Does anyone even want me to continue? Please review and let me know. Also if anyone knows what the little snail phones are called could they please let me know, I lent my entire One Piece to collection to a friend so I can't check it. And if anyone could also tell me the names of Zoro's swords since I can't check it myself and I might want to use it later on I'd appreciate it.
