So, as you may notice, this chapter's kind of short. Crew talk is small because I hate group convos, and Sanji is extremely ooc. Sorry. He's gonna be like that since I can't make my train of thought linger on his traits for long enough -.- He smokes and flirts and is still a great cook, though, ok?

Just want you all to know, I really appreciate the good reviews I've recieved! :D Sure there isn't that much there, but a review is a review, and I love them! Good and Bad!

I have ideas as to where this is heading, so instead of the one-shot poll, I've got a new one that will help this fanfic! So if you want me to update even quicker, PLEASE go vote! :D

Also, Chapter's will only be in Sanji's POV, and occasionally from Tara's. It will differ between 3rd person and 1st person in the chapters. Because my train of thought hates me . This Chap's in 3rd Sanji.

Enjoy!

Also, random title is random. :3


Blind Spot

Sanji got up early to smoke a cig by the kitchen door. He was, for once, without a shirt(AN: because I've NEVER seen him with out a shirt in the mangas or anime). His bottom half was covered in some plain, murky grey coloured jogging pants. He unlocked the kitchen and prepared some hot buns and fry-up for breakfast. By the time Luffy was sleep-walking in at the first light of dawn, he had omlettes, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, hard and soft boiled eggs, bacon, fried tomatoes, baked beans, more fried vegtables and orange juice for everyone times ten because of Luffy.

The Captain-in-question sat down and started helping himself. He was awake enough to rub his eyes sleepily and murmur. "What's wrong with you?"

"What, no good morning anymore?" Sanji said, placing a tray of hot buns freash out of the oven. He expertly slapped Luffy's hand away. "They need cooling."

"Morning." Came Luffy's greeting at the exact time as Robin's.

"Morning Captain; Cook." Marimo head mumbled. He sat down next to Luffy and began eating.

"Morning everyone!" Nami bounced in in a little white top and red shorts.

"Morning Nami." Luffy smiled as she sat down on his left side, and actually stopped eating long enough to give her a pech on the cheek. She blushed. Sanji growled but kept his cool. Which everyone noticed (cause the rest of them walked in without saying good morning).

"Why aren't you acting all Mellorine, Ero-Cook?" Marimo head grunted, biting into a hot bun.

"Or have you finally figured out when to give up?" Franky added. Sanji sighed.

"As a matter of fact, I have." All the guys choked on their food; save Luffy, he managed to be shocked and carrying on eating at the same time. "While my passion for women stays strong, I am not the flirt I used to be."

There was silence.

"Ero-Cook`s got a girlfriend." Zoro chimed suddenly. Everyone looked at him. "What? It makes sense. If he thinks he's found 'the one' he'll only flirt with her, wouldn't he?"

The crew made aggreeing noises.

"Why do you jump to conclusions all the time, Marimo-head?" Sanji snapped, taking a deep drag on his cig.

"Because you are being eerily calm and not trying to attack me like a sissy girl." Zoro smirked.

"I'LL SHOW YOU SISSY GIRL!"


1st person... :D

As I walked through town I asked about the 'famous lady' around here. People mentioned stuff about a thief, lightning and something flashy. But they wouldn't give me names, fearing I was a bounty hunter. So they were protecting this thief? This must be the thief's hometown, and whatever she steals she sells for money for this poor village, I concluded, smiling. She has a good heart, I guess. My hand dipped into my pants pocket and pulled out Tara's card. She seemed to know more about the thief than the town, and she might give me more information than the rest of these villagers.

Putting the card back into my pocket, I lit a fresh cigarette and headed for the bigger town where my new favourite restaurant was.


Yes, I did warn you it'd be short. :( I don't like it either...

Edit:

Because I havent had any responses to my poll I'll just ask here: What should happen next?

-mystery?

-action?

- some Tara-Sanji bonding?

Surprise was on the list, but I've decided to save that for later. So please put those in order of what you want next. Note, those won't just be one chapter, for each of those I have at least 3 chapters planned. :)

Also, James Blunt concert was AWESOME :D
