Law unwillingly steps away from Sanji and glares at the man who interrupted them.

"He's not YOUR cook."

"He's right marimo."

The blonde's blush from the heated kiss and slight embarrassment of being caught fades as the man carefully takes out a cigarette from the pack in his pocket, and places it in his mouth. Zoro clenches his fists to his sides and grits his teeth. That Shichibukai bastard!

"I belong to no one but myself. Law, I want to have a word with you later. Right now, I need to bring Yume-Chan her food before Luffy eats everything."

The cook calmly passes the moss-head, looking neither of the swordsmen in the eye, and lights up his cigarette. Taking a drag, he walks off to the galley. Zoro growls in a jealous rage, gripping Law by the front of his hoodie and slamming him against the wall.

"Stay away from Sanji..."

"Why? He's not yours."

The Shichibukai smirks deviously, only enraging the other swordsman further. Just as Zoro is about to take a swing at the man, a calm voice reaches them from the doorway.

"I don't think that is a wise idea, Swordsman-San."

He lets go of Law, and turns to face Robin, who has now entered the room. Zoro huffs angrily and storms past the archaeologist.

"I advise that you do not make swordsman-san so angry." Robin warns Law before taking her leave.

When Sanji walks into the galley, he's surprised to find that his meal for Yume is still intact. Other than himself, the only one in the room is Brook, who is calmly drinking tea at the table.

"I distracted Luffy-San from the food. He should be out on deck, fishing with our sniper and doctor."

"Ah, thank you Brook."

Nodding to the swordsman, he picks up Yume's plate of food and heads off to the sick bay. What the hell was that Marimo doing, calling me his cook? And why does it matter to him what I do or not do with Law? Shit, I don't know what to do about him either. Why did he suddenly kiss me like that? And why did I kiss him back? It, can't be that I like him...do I?

Lost in his thoughts, he makes his way into the sick bay. Franky is still there, talking to the assassin about his new invention, while the women is obviously pretending to be interested and in dire need of an interruption.

"Yume-Chan! Your food my dear! Sorry if it's a bit cold." He bows, as he hands the plate over to her.

The woman beams up at the blonde, thankful for the distraction. Franky is a nice guy, but his mechanical talk is boring me. I don't understand all that technical stuff.

"Ah thank you! Don't worry about it, I'll eat anything you've made me."

Noticing that a few buttons have been ripped off from the cook's jacket, and that his shirt is untucked from his trousers, she gasps.

"What happened to you Sanji-Kun?! Your buttons!"

"Huh?"

Confused, he looks down at his jacket and widens his eyes at his appearance. Law!

Mentally cursing the man, and his own idiocy for not fixing himself up before leaving the boys' room, he doesn't notice how brightly he blushes when he thinks of what he and the Shichibukai were doing earlier.

"Did someone hurt you, Sanji-kun?!"

"Ah, no need to worry Yume-chan. I'll handle it."

The blonde removes his jacket and kneels next to the beauty eating his cooking. He truly was lost in her beauty, even as she ate, he thought she was beautiful. Neither noticed Franky look over the blonde's appearance in suspicion.

At the crow's nest Zoro is vigorously lifting weights, and trying to forget about what he had walked in on earlier. He notices Robin's presence as the woman makes her way into the room.

"Swordsman-San."

"What do you want?" He growls, not even turning to face her.

Turning back around, she slowly makes her way to leave.

"I'm guessing you don't want my help gaining cooks-san's affections then..."

Dropping his weights on the floor he spins around and watches the women's retreating back.

"What do you mean?"

Smirking to herself, she then faces the swordsman with a neutral expression.

"If you do exactly as I say, and when I say, you will have more of a chance of winning our cook's love. Do we have a deal?"

"What's in it for you?"

"Is it really so unlike me to help out a nakama in need, unless I gain something out of it? And besides, you really don't want Law to end up with Sanji now, do you?"

Frowning, Zoro contemplates the offer. I don't actually know how I can do this by myself, and there is no way I'm going to let Trafalgar take Sanji away from me!

"Fine. What do you want me to do?"

Out on deck, Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp, are sitting on the railing whilst they fish.

"Yosh! I caught something! Eh?! This fish is huge!" Luffy wails in excitement.

Unbeknownst to them, instead of a fish, the trio had hooked on to the edge of a marine submarine.

All three of them try to pull it out, and as it reaches the surface of the water, Usopp's eyes widen at seeing their catch, and his legs start to shake.

"Oi, oi, Luffy, t-that's not a fish."

"Eh? That's no fun..."

On the submarine:

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!"

"C-captain. It seems we have been caught on a fishing rod."

"BY WHO?!"

"Uh... S-strawhat Luffy, Sir..."

"Resurface and capture them! They might be hiding the assassin Dahlia Yume who destroyed our ship!"

"Yes sir!"

At hearing a loud splash of water and the calls of a fight, the rest of the crew, Law, and Yume, rush out on deck.

Yume frowns at the marine Jolly Roger.

"Don't they ever give up?"

As the strawhats prepare for battle, marine's rush out one by one, jumping onto the deck of their ship.

"Mugiwara Luffy, surrender Dahlia Yume!" They cry out at the same time.

"I'm right here, leave them out of this."

She pulls her long hair into a ponytail, revealing to the crew her gruesome scar that goes across her shoulders and down her back. Ignoring the gasps from the crew, she steps forward, getting ready to fight.

"MUGIWARA!"

Glancing over, they see the Captain of the marine fleet standing on the railing of the ship.

"Smoker..."

"Ugh, you again? What is with you?"

Yume folds her arms, glaring at the marine captain in front of her.

"Pirate assassin, Dahlia Yume...you have to come with me."

"Make me."

Luffy steps in front of her and addresses Smoker.

"If you want her, you'll have to go through me."

"I plan on that." The marine captain growls.

"Luffy-San, It's ok. I can handle this. Mina, get inside!"

Luffy looks a little shocked, but doesn't argue, and takes everyone into the galley. Aside from Caesar.

"OI! WHAT ABOUT ME!" Caesar shouts, only to get ignored by everyone...

"Smoker, you're messing with the wrong girl." Yume speaks in a dark tone. This tone she uses is recognized, by some of the marines, as a way she addresses her targets before she kills them, giving her the infamous name 'Water Demon'.

Before the enemy can attack, she takes her move.

"Issen akuma no tanken!"

Lethal needles shoot out from her raised palm, piercing the underlings of the marine fleet at a rapid speed. Not giving them a change to counter-attack, she decides to quickly take the rest down with one final move.

"Kirāu~ēbu!"

At first nothing happens, and the marine's think that Yume's attack has failed. However, Tashigi notices a slight change in the currents of the water.

"S-Smoker-San! The water! I think we should fall back!"

The captain glances at the sea, and at noticing the start of the fatal attack from the assassin, he orders his men back onto the submarine. He had been subjected by this move once before, and he doesn't want to lose any more of his men.

The waves slowly start getting bigger, rocking the ship, and unfortunately for the marines, before all of them can make it to safety, a giant wave crashes over them.

As they get swept away from the ship, she hears Franky call out to her.

"Yume! Hold onto the mast! We are going to escape!"

Not understanding, what is exactly going to happen, she follows her orders anyway, and clings on tightly to the mast of the Sunny.

The sea is still rocking the ship ferociously, and the sounds of the crashing waves are roaring in her ears. Just above the noise, she manages to hear the cyborg yell.

"COUP DE BURST!"

Opening her eyes, Yume looks up at the clear blue sky, the sun is shining, and the sea is calm, the outlines of a rainbow can be seen in the distance.

Sighing contently at the scene, she unwraps her arms from around the mast of the ship and grins.

Suddenly, the galley door bursts open and the crew rush over, disrupting her peace and quiet.

"SUGOI!~"

Luffy exclaims loudly and excitedly, wrapping his rubber body around the assassin numerous times which causes her to panic a bit.

"Uh...Luffy-san, can you let go?"

Behind them, Chopper is checking over Caesar who has passed out from Yume's attack earlier.

"Yume~ you have to join my crew!" The boy whines.

"Luffy! Leave the poor women alone!"

Nami stomps over and tries to untangle her captain from the assassin.

"Yume-Chan! You fought so beautifully!" The cook swoons.

"Thank you, Sanji-kun..." She smiles sweetly at the blonde.

"Though I don't think it's a good idea to let me in your crew..."

Finally getting free from Luffy's rubbery clutches, she ignores the question from the strawhats and goes off to the crow's nest to be alone for a while.

Once inside, she sits on the bench and looks out to sea, as she remembers a vague memory.

I told you to behave! How many times do I have to beat you before you listen to me?!

I-I'm sorry...I promise I'll be good...

At this, Yume finds herself pulling at her hair and crying onto her knees.

Out on deck, Zoro watches the shit cook as the man walks off to the aquarium bar with Law.

As he is about to follow them, hands sprout from the floor and keep him in place. Looking over to the archaeologist, the women subtly indicates up to the library, and walks off into that direction.

Having no choice but to go with her, he frowns and sneaks off after her, leaving the rest of the crew on deck.

"Alright Robin...what should I do?"

Zoro finds himself asking, covering the blush across his cheeks.

Crossing her arms, and closing her eyes, she shushes the swordsman, and uses her devil fruit ability to listen in on Sanji and Law's conversation.

"Why did you suddenly kiss me like that?!"

"Isn't it obvious Cook-ya?"

"I-I don't know..."

With a light blush on his face, Sanji looks away from him. Walking up to the blonde, Law reaches out and gently touches the man's cheek as he gets closer. Softly trailing a finger down just underneath the others chin, he lifts the cook's head up so he looks him in the eyes.

"I won't force you into anything. All I'm asking is for you to give me a chance to show how serious I am about you."

"I'll have to consider this...I can't think straight right now."

Sanji gently turns away to walk out of the aquarium, and leave the Shichibukai alone. As he reaches the doorway, Robin makes two hands trip the cook, causing him to fall into Zoro's arms.

Zoro didn't know what to expect when Robin told him to walk around outside the aquarium. And he definitely didn't expect for the cook to sudden fall into his arms. As he was about to help Sanji up, the blonde grips tightly onto his coat.

"D-dont..."

His eye widens in shock as the cook leans into him instead of moving away.

The two swordsmen glare at each other before Zoro leads Sanji into the galley.

The cook's hair is still covering his face as he pushes away from the marimo and over to the sink. He's not sure if his face being bright red is from his conversation with Law, or from tripping into the moss-head's embrace. What the fuck am I doing?

The swordsman slowly moves over behind him, close enough to whisper into the blonde's ear.

"Cook, I like you a lot..."

The green haired man gently wraps his arms the blonde's waist, noticing the slight flinch of the other's body, and rests his head on the cook's shoulder.

Sanji bites his lip and his hands grip the edge of the sink. His mind has gone blank. He has no idea what is going on anymore. Law and Zoro like me? Shit... He is tense for a while, and his muscles are stiff, but the warmth radiating off of the moss-head starts to relax him.

He eventually gives in and returns the affection, wrapping his arms around Zoro's neck while his hands rest on the man's shoulders.

"Zoro...I thought you hated me..."

Smiling, the swordsman holds the blonde closer.

"Idiot... You do piss me off- Oi! Don't kick me, I haven't finished!"

The cook chuckles, and buries his head in the marimo's coat.

"I was saying... You do piss me off a lot, but I could never hate you."

"SANJI! MEAT!"

The door slams open and the two jump away from each other.

"Okay Luffy, I'll start lunch."

The cook sighs as he starts preparing food for the hungry captain.

Zoro scowls and walks out, past the oblivious rubber boy. As he makes his way to the crow's nest he smirks to his love rival when he notices Law glaring at him.

"I've already warned you once Trafalgar, but I'll it say it again. Stay away from Sanji."
