Chapter 3:
Strange Encounters
Sanji sighed sadly as he walked down the busy walkways of Skulls Major. He was unhappy because of the companion he was walking with. They were told by Luffy to stick together, and he would get lost if Sanji didn't watch out for him. Zolo was such a pain. As they walked, pausing to argue and threaten each other and for Sanji to stare at the passing ladies, Sanji noticed something that made him angry. A large group of pirates were walking past, looking full of themselves. He recognized two faces on the crew. The first was the captain, the second the first mate."That's…" said Zolo, gritting his teeth. "I know," said Sanji, ominously. "It's the Krieg pirates." Don Krieg was at the front of the group, walking with his nose in there, with an evil smile on his face. His first mate, Gin, was next to him. He had another look on his face. That one was more like guilt and worry. "What if we see them?" asked Gin. "It doesn't matter!" said Krieg laughing. "The Straw Hats couldn't possibly keep up with pirates with bounties of 32 and 30 million berries!" Sanji's face was red with anger. He lit himself a new cigarette to calm himself down. Should I attack them? He asked himself. No, we aren't allowed to fight unless it's in self defense. How are they in the New World anyway? He felt calm now. Sanji looked up to see the stupid marimo get in an attack position. "Hey Marimo! No fighting, remember?" "I do remember curly-brow." Answered Zolo. "But we seem like we might have to fight." Zolo was pointing at the Krieg pirates. Krieg had noticed them, and he was growling at them. Gin pulled his captain away and smiled at Sanji. He mouthed the word Hey. Sanji looked away, at Zolo. "Nice job, marimo." He said to Zolo. "You're not as dumb as I thought."
