Hello everyone~
I'm so happy with your warm response,
Cheese! I remember you, you where one of the most vocals about me continuing with the english version of this fic.
Enjoy these short, warm sweet chapters while you can, as babys grow up so fast... Y_Y
Anyway, lets start
Edd's Age: 2 and a half yr old
Current Sea: East Blue
GROWING UP WITH THE STRAWHATS
Uncle Sanji
Much like his father… Edd's stomach was a bottomless pit… they knew it since he was born, but now at two years old it was more than evident, and while the portions where still not inhuman, they where big for a child his size.
that afternoon ,Nami walked into the kitchen with the two year old baby in her arms, he was hungry again and because of that he was in a rather difficult mood, so the mother had no other choice than to go get him a snack.
"Ahh Sanji-kun, I'm so glad you are still in the kitchen" she said with a smile, sitting down at the bar.
"oh~ Nami~swan" the cook chanted, "I was about to finish up, but for you I'll gladly stay here forever!" he pranced around her while the baby's eyes followed him with attention.
Of course, since Sanji was usually one of the people who provided him with most food, Edd had him high on the favourite list.
Nami sighed, "I'm sorry to bother you Sanji-kun, but… he is hungry again. Do you have something I can give him?"
Sanji smiled and quickly went to look into the fridge, while commenting, "ahh that child, If he is like this now, I don't wanna think when he gets older! He'll be like the shitty gomu at this rate"
However, before Nami could answer the whole ship shook and the woman secured her baby tightly against her chest, everything trembled loudly and the noise of the silverware rattling in the kitchen was deafening while the wood of the pirate ship moaned loudly in complain…
Outside, violent roars like those of a huge monster thundered loudly and were followed by Luffy's obnoxious laugher and terrified cries of Chopper and Brook.
Sanji grimaced, "Sea King rodeo… again?"
The ship lurched violently to the side and the wood complained again as the full sails where pushed against the wind, which made the pirate ship shake and turn violently.
"UPS! HAHAHAHA OI NAMIIII!" Luffy called out from outside… he knew he just had screwed up the course, and they had to regain control of the ship soon if they didn't want to capsize…
At least he knew that much…
Nami sighed and Sanji offered her a compassionate smile, "You can leave Edd here with me ,so go see what the shitty captain needs, Nami-san"
"Thank you Sanji-kun" she said smiling while sitting her baby on the bar she poked his belly playfully,
"Edd, mommy has to go work, be good with your uncle Sanji, yes?"
The child just followed her frame with his eyes all the way to the door, and then turned his gaze towards Sanji who just smiled while making ham sandwiches on the counter.
"Well Edd-chan, its time to continue your lessons" the cook said, reaching inside his elegant black dress jacket, he took out Zoro's wanted
"Who is he?" he asked pointing at the picture,
"Marimo!" the toddler chirped
"Yeah! Good, here have a sandwich" the blonde said delivering the snack, the boy took it with both his hands and happily munched into it with big, hungry and happy bites.
After swallowing , the boy pointed at Sanji and shouted
"Pervy cook!"
Sanji's unlit cigarette fell from his mouth, his visible eye widened and his eyebrow trembled in rage.
THAT DAMN MARIMO!
"No Edd!" he pointed to himself, "I'm Sanjiiii, uncle Sanjiiii!"
"Sanjiiii" Edd repeated, opened his mouth and expected his next threat… he wasn't an idiot though. And the chef delivered the reward with gusto.
"Well… " the blonde sighed, "This isn't fair, you should have MY face and Nami-swan's eyes you know" he mumbled half joking, but then he was lost in a daily fantasy and claimed without thinking too much or deeply about it.
"or better yet, you should have been born a girl, and then some day…"
He began intensely while placing his foot on a chair a fist dramatically raised to the sky…
"I would have MY SECOND CHANCE!"
"You are disgusting" Zoro muttered while stepping into the kitchen, and then continued, "Besides, even if he was born a girl, she could still have Luffy's face you know"
The mental image of the hypothetical young woman who looked sexy like a Nami clone shattered like a mirror into a thousand of pieces, giving way to the image of an unattractive Luffy faced girl, flat chested with unintelligent eyes, she picked her nose as flies circled her frame….
"DAMN IT SHITTY MARIMO! DON'T DESTROY MY DREAMS LIKE THAT!" he growled with shark teeth, sparing no second in attacking Zoro with a flying kick. Of course, they began to fight violently, and carried on like that for a while until they heard loud, infantile laughter.
The two adults stopped on their tracks and turning around they noticed the small boy happily munching on Sanji's forgotten sandwiches that he had placed on a tray next to the boy, who was looking at the adults with an amused grin.
Sanji's eyebrow twitched, "You like watching us fight, brat?"
"Nishishisi," he began pointing at them, "Pervy cook, stupid marimo" he said perfectly and then proceeded to push the last sandwich into his mouth.
Zoro grunted, "We are his damn clowns"
Sanji retorted, "And whose fault is that!? Huh?!"
"You tell me! You where the one who taught him to call me stupid marimo!"
"Yeah! Someone should teach the kid the facts of life! He sooner than latter has to learn he lives with an algae head muscled brained marimo!"
"Now I'll cut you!" Zoro grunted while attacking again, they started to strike each other while the kid watched on, amused, but he soon realized that there was nothing left on the tray so…. his smile vanished and he grimaced, annoyed, and with a tantrum he sent the tray flying, which made a lot of noise as it fell, getting the attention of the two adults.
Zoro scratched his head in annoyance and finally said,
"Look kid, lets start again, I'm…"
"Nakama!" the baby shouted in glee, a big smile on is face while the two adults opened their eyes in surprise. Then the child pointed at himself.
"Edd nakama uncle Zoro, uncle Sanji nakama, nishishihi" he laughed, leaving the two men stunned.
"Woah" Sanji said with a smile, approaching the child and patting his head, "That's very good Edd, who taught that to you?"
And as if in cue, Luffy burst loudly into the room (Nami had kicked him off deck)
"Ahh! There you are guys! Eating a snack without me! No fair!" he complained a little bit angry.
"Daddy!" The baby called while stretching his arms in his direction, "Edd uncle Sanji , uncle Zoro, nakama!" he chirped, very happy.
"Hahaha! GOOD!" Luffy said lifting him up and throwing him in the air making the boy laugh. He had heard Edd calling Zoro stupid marimo and Sanji pervy cook so he thought it better to explain his child that they were nakama.
"Ne Edd, help me out with Nami will ya, she's mad I took us out course" Luffy explained while taking the boy out to deck with him
"Mommyyyy!" the child called out loud.
Luffy knew, Nami couldn't possibly stay mad at him, not with that adorable little face calling for her.
The pair disappeared through the door and the cook just sighed with a happy smile…
"Tsh…. You have to see it to believe it…" he whispered.
Zoro smiled as well, quite proud of his captain, and then crossed his arms,
"At least someone is teaching him useful stuff"
"What do you mean huh! I teach him plenty!"
"That's what worries me the most cook! Nothing you can teach him can ever be good!" The swordsman snapped.
And so… they kept fighting their eternal fight, an activity that would be most amusing to watch for little Edd as he grew up over the years… even learning to take advantage of it when the time was right…
