Sanji looked around the inside of the building more as he followed the green haired man through the elaborate halls and felt as if some one had scrambled his brains and let them drain out of his ear. This place made no sense what so ever. There were staircases on the ceilings the further he went in, there where upside down windows on the floor, there were patches of grass where it looked like there were supposed to be pictures. Sanji shook his head and sighed as he dug out another cigarette and lit it take a drag. Almost instantly there was a buzzing throughout the castle that made Sanji nervous and within moments small fairy like creatures were zooming about his head inhaling the smoke he was expelling.
"What the hell?"
The other man looked over his shoulder.
"Cleaner fairies, they clean the building of any impurities. By the way, my name is Roanoa, but you may address me as Zoro."
Sanji could only nod as the fairies continued to buzz around him cleaning the air as he smoked. It was odd but what worried the blond more than anything was that he wasn't all that bothered by all of this. It was just weird and he was sure he would wake up soon enough. Yet again a jolt of pain reminded him he was not dreaming, he cursed and dropped the butt of his smoke as it burned his finger. Instantly the little fairies were swarming around it making sure it was gone to the point where there was no longer even the scent of it on the air anymore before they disappeared. Again Sanji looked around and found him self blinking as he stepped aside for a two headed dog to walk around him, raising an eyebrow he sighed and muttered under his breath.
"This is a dream, a messed up drug induced dream..."
Zoro turned.
"Did you say something?"
"No, not really uh, look, what the golden shining fuck is going on around here?"
"You got lost, lucky for you our Master located you and brought you here before the lost ones could find you. Then you would have ended up like the other man that ended up getting lost in these woods not to long ago."
"Roger?! You mean he was here?"
"No, unfortunately our Master could not find him fast enough and the lost ones got to him before I could. They killed him with no mercy just for being what he was."
"And that would be?"
"An outsider. The lost ones envy them very much."
Sanji opened his mouth to ask something else when a laugh echoed through the hall and Zoro dropped to one knee in an instant.
"My Master."
A small young man with black hair and dark eyes emerged from the shadows, his grin seemed to go on forever and his eyes seemed to gleam with mischief.
"Heh, Zoro how many times do I have to tell you to just act normal around me, and call me Luffy, the whole Master thing is weird."
"And how many times do I have to explain that this is normal for me Lu-I mean My Master."
Luffy rolled his eyes and pushed Zoro to his feet as he passed to get a good look at Sanji.
"Hey, you look cool, you have any good talents I might be able to use?"
"Uhm...well, not to brag but I'm not a bad chef. I used to cook for a top kitchen before I went into the unit..."
"Yay! You can cook for me and my family than!"
"F-family?"
At that moment Sanji looked around and noticed that there were others in the room besides himself, Zoro, and Luffy. A raven haired woman, a red head, a large burly blue haired man, a curly haired man with the longest nose Sanji had ever seen; looking around more he noticed others on the other side of the large room. A small boy with large brown eyes hid behind a pillar, a tall, extremely skinny man with the largest afro Sanji could possibly imagine, and another dark haired young man with an insane amount of freckles. Luffy chuckled and motioned for them all to enter the room and Sanji had to jump back and bite his lip to keep from yelling out the most obscene curse he knew. Out of seemingly no where a large table had popped out of the floor with just enough chairs to seat them all. Sanji took a seat cautiously next to Zoro who had a small smirk playing on his lips. Luffy sat at the head of the table smiling like a child as the rest of them seated themselves to what Sanji guessed was their normal arrangement. Luffy's smile grew when everyone was seated and seemed to be waiting. Standing Luffy pointed to the girl on his right and went from there.
"This is Nami! She's my wife! Next to her is Chopper, he's my doctor-"
The red head and the brown eyed boy both nodded, Luffy barely giving Sanji a moment to learn their faces and names before he moved on pointing to the tall man.
"This is Brooke! He plays music for me!"
He continued on to Zoro who only inclined his head as Brooke's overzealous laughter died down.
"Zoro is my personal guard! He's a swordsman and the best in the world!"
Sanji looked to his left as Luffy went on.
"The guy next to you is Ace, he's my brother and than there's Robin, she's my story teller! The blue haired guy next to her is her husband Frankie! He's my woodworker! He built my castle! Ussop is the guy with the really log nose, he's my sniper. And you?"
"Sanji, I'm-"
"And your Sanji! My cook!"
"But wait I-"
He didn't get to finish as the table and chairs vanished and he found him self in a large kitchen with a large stove and an even larger fridge. Zoro sat at a small table in the kitchen area with a small smile gracing his features.
"Find a lock for the fridge, and when you cook make sure you cook plenty of meat, you'll never hear the end from Luffy if you don't. Other than that, make what you please."
"This has to be some fucked up dream..."
"I thought the same thing when Luffy first took me in, but now that I'm used to it and have lived here a good couple hundred years I'm used to it."
"A hundred years?! Your shitting me right?"
Zoro smirked and shook his head as Sanji placed his forehead in his palm and sighed.
"Alice...eat your heart out..."
