Chapter 3 - Go for it Marimo! Captain's orders!

Morning came fast and soon the sun rose, it's warm rays gently shining through the small window of the boy's room. The sun rays softly touched Sanji's face and due to the fact that he was used to stand up early in the morning every day he just woke up. His inner alarm bell rang loudly and Sanji almost lazily opened his tired eyes. Yesterday night he just couldn't go to sleep, he had been laying in his hammock thinking about Luffy and how his shitty potato mash had ruined Sanji's hopes to win the bet. But the jury was still out on it!

Grumbling in half-sleep, he stood up and wearly changed his clothes, rubbing his eyes before he made sure he woke no one and then turned to go upstairs and prepare the breakfast. Hmm... what should he cook? Maybe a light and healthy one, he could cut some fruits and make a salate, or curd would be nice too, and cocoa/coffee to drink. Sanji thought about what to do for breakfast, scratching his head as he yawned tiredly. But then, Luffy would hang around in the kitchen, whining ALL THE DAY if he only got curd for breakfast. Sanji propably should broil one or two pigs extra for the captain.

'...'

Suddenly something made 'dong' in his mind and he froze in his movements, an irritated expression upon his face. Then he slowly turned around, only to see the black-haired teen with the strawhat still lying in his hammock, sleeping like a rock and snoring like a bear during winter sleep.

A few minutes of waiting passed as if Sanji wanted to make sure Luffy was really sleeping. Then the blonde motionless lifted his hand and just wacked himself all over the face, expression not changing before he finally broke into a huge smirk.

'That's right!' he thought, grinning like a madman, ' I am the captain!... And Luffy is the cook! He he he! He's still sleeping! That's my advantage!'

Sanji quickly went out of the room and silently closed the door, grinning all the way as he leaned with his back onto the door and slid to the floor, rubbing his hands again. He had a look on his face that would make the devil himself jealous...- or more afraid - of Sanji.

The young man with the strange eye-brow could still hear the loud snores of his former captain. Luffy didn't sound like he would be waking up soon! Sanji grinned and the shook his head, sighing at the fact he'd wanted to prepare breakfast for Luffy! Sanji had just been so into the cook-role and was too tired to realize their little bet! But luckily it's not too late, and this way he even could enjoy Luffy's failure!

The ex-cook of the ship stood up and went upstairs, litting a cigarette on his way. He silently slid into the kitchen, careful to not get Zoro's attention who happened to be on watch. Inside the kitchen, Sanji smirked to himself. That would be much fun until Luffy woke up!

~A few hours later~

First thing Luffy noticed was that he was hungry. Very hungry, as his stomach complained louder. Luffy was a little annoyed at the sudden sound and grumbled back, not wanted to be disturbed by his amazing dream of meat, being the pirate king, oh and..meat!

Usopp, who was about to get up and changed his clothes, stopped and rose a brow at the black-haired teen and his obvious fight with his own stomach.

Usopp snorted, wondering if everything was back to normal with Sanji in the kitchen, cooking while their captain slept peacefully until his belly woke him up. Throwing a glance at the watch the long-nosed teen knew it was only a matter of seconds now when Luffy would wake up and dash into the kitchen to scream for food.

If Luffy noticed that he was cook now and should have been up a long time ago to prepare breakfast...

The sniper counted, his eyes not leaving the sleeping and grumbling form of Luffy. '5...4...3...2...1-' Luffy's eyes opened and he sat up, rubbing his eyes. Usopp smirked, congratulating himself for the timing and wondered if he should open the door.

Then Luffy blinked, his mouth formed an 'o' as his stomach grumbled loudly. Within two milliseconds Luffy had put a new red vest on and raced out of the room, not bothering to open the door as he went right through it.

Usopp frowned, he should have opened it before! He knew Franky wouldn't like this, but then shrugged. Just as he had known, Luffy woke up ever morning because of the same reason, his stomach, and it was every day at the same time, around nine o'clock. Sometimes, Luffy was just too predictable.

Meanwhile, Luffy had reached the kitchen. Or more he was in front of it and just wanted to open the door as he realized his fault. He'd slept long. Too long! He should have gone up into the kitchen to cook at six o'clock or so, and now it was what? NINE O'CLOCK! Luffy's eyes widened and he gasped. No! NO! He'd completely forgotten about that!

Stopping to count, Luffy came to the result he'd woken three hours too late. Dang. As if that wasn't enough already, Luffy had absolutely no idea what he should cook now! Or how! Or what to say to the crew!

'Wait!' he thought, 'are they ALL in there, waiting for me? Or is Sanji cooking their breakfast? Or worse, Sanji has already cooked it and is eating with the others, laughing about him and how he lost the bet! ARGH!'

Bibbering that he had lost the bet, Luffy bit his lip and opened the door, already inhaling to apologize for oversleeping for so long. Then he stopped, making a dumb expression. The kitchen was completely...empty! None of his nakama were here!

"Are they still sleeping?" he wondered aloud, scratching his head as a huge red question mark appeared above his head. He narrowed his eyes, putting a finger on his chin. Now that he thought of it... he had only seen a shadow with a looong nose, propably Usopp, and not looked around in the men's cabin! So actually, it wasn't impossible that the rest of the crew was still sleeping! Seems like even Sanji overslept! Hah!

As new courage and determination to win began to build up inside him, Luffy's lip formed a smile and he looked pretty confident to beat the bloody enemy, in his case the breakfast. He quickly made his way to the kitchen, remembering that Usopp was up and would propably come in soon to ask when breakfast's ready, so he had to hurry!

It couldn't be so difficult to cook a simple breakfast, he had managed to cook a nice dinner just the day before! This one would be rather easy!

The smile never leaving his lips, he began to put a few pots onto the stove, turning the heat on, humming a song to himself. The weather was really nice outside, today would be a warm and sunny day. Great, just like his current mood ! But Sanji wouldn't be too cheerful today, not if he saw how well Luffy could cope with being the cook.

'It's a stressful job, a difficult one and you hardly get any break.. Always have to think of something that would satisfy the crew's appetite.'

Yeah, Sanji once had said that to him as he'd annoyed the cook for the fifth time back then. It had been a few weeks ago, but still Sanji's voice rang inside of Luffy's head over and over again. The black-haired future pirate king had wondered how it could be that hard to cook. After all, it was Sanji's hobby, he loved to cook, so why was it so difficult? Plus, the blonde knew thousands of different meals, so surely he wouldn't have to think much about what to cook, right?

Still, Luffy hadn't found an answer to that. Okay, yesterday evening was not as easy as he'd imagined, but it wasn't nearly as bad as the blonde had described. Luffy hadn't been stressed at all. Maybe he'd been in trouble for a moment as he didn't know what to cook but only for a moment. Being the cook of the ship was easy! Now he only had to bring Sanji to admit that, that was all!

Luffy stood in front of the stove and watched the pots, being totally in his thoughts about how he would beat Sanji easily, he didn't realize there was actually nothing in the pots to be cooked! Heat rose and Luffy snapped back to reality as he noticed his problem. Oh. He should put something into the pots before turning the heat on. Yeah, he was pretty deep in thoughts!

'Maan, he's just too stupid! My poor kitchen and my poor pots!... why doesn't he just give up and leave the cooking to a professional cook like... me?' Sanji thought and chewed at his cigarette that didn't even burn anymore. Frowning, Sanji followed every of Luffy's movements in the kitchen and suddenly Sanji almost had to laugh at the sight.

Luffy looked like a damn hysterical mother who wanted to stop her crying child but doesn't know how. Yeah the comparison between the stressed mum and Luffy -the former captain was talking to himself by the way- fitted very well and Sanji silently congratulated himself for finding a good one.

"Damn it all! Now what should I do? What could I cook? Damn! Same problem as yesterday, why haven't I thought of something during the night?" Luffy opened every drawer he could find, hoping there would be something he could cook in it. Luffy had a deja vú as he tried as best he could to think of something that would fit for breakfast. Maybe he shouldn't have judged too early over Sanji. He shook his head, no time for useless guilty feelings now!

Then he had an idea. "If I was Sanji, then what would I cook now?" he said, nodding to himself as he thought it was a brilliant way to get an idea for a breakfast. Meanwhile the silent observer, Sanji himself, covered his mouth with both hands to not make a sound as he wanted to burst out into laughers. What kind of idea was this anyways?

Luffy thought a lot, very hard. And soon his face turned red and Sanji wasn't sure if he should jump from his hiding place to do a mouth-to-mouth resuscitation or just wait until Luffy collapsed to call for Chopper. Wait, if he suffocated then Luffy's face would turn blue, wouldn't it?

As the two morons were in the kitchen, each of them thinking about some useless crap, the rest of the crew made their way upstairs. In truth, they all had known Luffy had overslept and wanted to give him a chance as they knew Luffy would be too freaked out if he lost the bet. So they all, safe for Zoro and Sanji, had pretended to be asleep in their rooms, even Nami.

Besides, this was getting interesting to watch, so the crew wanted to see how things worked out for a bit longer. And they eventually wanted to see how well Sanji was doing as a captain!

They all stood in front of the kitchen door, chuckling or rolling their eyes as they heard of Luffy's intelligent plan to get an idea for breakfast.

"I guess we're too early. Let's wait a little more until captain-san is ready." Robin suggested.

"Too early? It's past nine now and I'm hungry...but okay, let's wait a little." Nami sighed and turned to sit on the ground. She didn't want to stand in front of the door until Luffy would slam it open into her face to call for breakfast. Getting why their navigator moved aside a little, the others did the same and sat down, a few meters away from the door. Just to be safe.

The archaeologist crossed her arms and closed her eyes, watching what Luffy was doing in the kitchen.

"By the way, has anyone an idea where Sanji is? I saw him getting up early in the morning, is he... inside?" Franky wanted to know and looked with a questioning look at Robin who smiled in response.

"I'm surprised captain-san hasn't seen him yet. Sanji is 'hiding'." she chuckled, shaking her head slightly at how immature the whole thing was.

"Really? Why is he doing that?" Brook asked, trying to peek at Nami's pantis but she persuaded him that this was a bad idea.

'I just wanted to know how Luffy could cook, and not watch him ruining my kitchen! And these pots were extremely expensive!' Sanji grumbled silently at his former captain's actions. Where the hell was this leading to? Nothing good would came out of this, Sanji knew, or more feared, that.

He ducked slightly to get a better view of what Luffy was doing now.

"Ah! I remember eating ham and eggs during breakfast!" Luffy loudly exclaimed and lifted his finger at the memory, his face brightened up. He had no idea where he ate that, was it on this ship or at home many years ago? He didn't know. Nor did he know who cooked it, maybe it was Makino, who knows. But then, that didn't matter! As long as he knew what to do now!

Ooookay, what did he need for ham and eggs? Hmmm... the black haired teen with the strawhat stopped again to think. Sanji only rolled his eyes and Robin smiled softly. Luffy remembered her of a little child sometimes.

Suddenly the new cook spun around and narrowed his eyes. Sanji just managed to duck back into his hiding place to not be seen by him and nearly hit his head. Robin made a soft sound of surprise but didn't stop watching with her third eye in the kitchen.

"Weird..." Luffy said as he turned back to the refrigerator, " I could have sworn someone was just there... I feel like someone's watching me." he murmured and grabbed for the ham and the eggs. Hopefully there was enough for everyone.

Sanji panted, his eyes wide in shock and surprise. Wow, that had been close! Luffy may seem like a child sometimes, well most of the time, but he had a friggin' good instinct and could feel the other's presence. That was... creepy, but okay. Sanji just had to be more careful, that was all.

"So..." Luffy began again, scratching his head in confusing as he held a few eggs in his hand. "What do I have to do with them now?"

_LaTeR_

"Robin, when's breakfast ready? It's almost ten o'clock!" Chopper asked, his little stomach grumbling loudly. Robin sighed as she shook her head, knowing Sanji was currently fighting with himself as he watched Luffy 'cooking'.

"I think it's ready soon, doctor-san. Don't worry" she spoke in a soft way, her third eye in the kitchen quickly disappearing.

"It better be, because otherwise I'm going to fish me the breakfast - with Luffy as the bait!" Nami grumbled, not amused as she crossed her arms over her chest. She was not very patient, she never had been, and now there she was, waiting for the stupid breakfast since seven o'clock in the morning! The navigator was very pissed about that but try to control her anger.

Zoro, who'd happened to hear that, moved to stand behind Franky, slowly and without attracting her attention,. Not that he was scared or anything but you don't want to be the one standing next to Nami when she exploded. And Franky, the perfect shield, seemed to not even notice.

"GUYS! BREAKFAST'S READY!" Bam. So much for 'perfect shield'. Luffy had slammed the poor door open and Zoro, the unlucky fellow, had happened to stand right in front of it without realizing his mistake. Ouch. Luffy seemed rather energetic today.

The rest of the crew smiled and made their way into the kitchen as quick as possible. They just weren't used to get breakfast so late as Sanji had always served it at nine o'clock. One hour earlier.

"Zoro, what the heck are you doing there? Quit sleeping and come in, breakfast is ready you moron." Nami shook her head as she passed the almost unconscious green-haired man at the floor.

"Stupid witch." he just groaned and wearily made it to the table. Luffy would pay for that later.

"Have you been waiting long?" Luffy asked as he took the 'eggs' onto the plates, his crew sitting down at the table.

Franky immediately waved his hands, shaking his head. " Nonono, absolutely not. Perfect timing, strawhat br- eh?" Franky stopped abprubtly as he looked under the table between his legs, " what on earth are you doing under the table, Sanji-bro?" he asked, a dumbstruck on his face.

Sanji's face was bright red in anger as he feared Luffy would count one and one together and realize he had watched him cooking the whole time!

But much to his luck Luffy did not realize, after all the strawhat boy was horrible in doing calculations, and just continued with serving the plates. He had to admit he himself was pretty damn hungry, although he'd eaten lots of things the whole time during cooking.

"Eehm.. I don't want to be obstrutive or so.. but what the heck did you cook?" Nami asked with a look of horror as she inspected the 'food' on her plate.

Zoro frowned as well, staring at his own plate. "If you could call that cook." he said more to himself.

Luffy sat down and looked around in confusion. "Eh? Is something wrong?"

Sanji only nodded, sitting down at his seat while looking at his food as if it would jump from his plate and run away every moment.

First the crew didn't know what to say to not hurt his feelings but Zoro just spoke up. "The breakfast looks like shit." he simply stated and crossed his arms before his chest. Nami shot an angry glare at the swordsman and immediately Zoro realized his mistake and mumbled a 'sorry'.

Luffy seemed to have a thoughtful look on his face and then nodded slowly. "Yeah uhm, I didn't know exactly how to make ham and eggs so I just put eggs into the pot and-"

Nami immediately interrupted him. "Wait wait wait. So you didn't put any oil into the pot? No wonder these 'eggs' are black. And this.." she started, poking the other black thing besides it, ".. is the ham, am I right?"

Luffy nodded, smiling as he stuffed all the burnt breakfast into his mouth. "Yup!" he exclaimed happily, glad someone recognized it. So it wasn't so bad after all, right? And as he realized, it didn't taste bad either!

And soon Luffy began stealing food from everyone's plates, seeming to enjoy his 'breakfast' a lot. The only difference now was that no one defended his or her plate as none of the crew wanted to really taste it in the first place. Luffy didn't notice luckily.

Sanji clenched his teeth, watching as the 'cook' ate like he'd been on a diet for weeks. Actually, that wasn't the problem, Luffy always did that, it was nothing new. But the thing that annoyed the crap out of Sanji was first, that Nami and Robin, his two angels, didn't have a delicious breakfast now. And second the fact that he'd watched Luffy ruining the breakfast!

It had been terrible! This stupid rubber idiot! How could he do something like that? Almost as if wasting food! Sanji grumbled, a pissed look as he glared at the former captain.

Luffy didn't know how to cook after all. Yesterday evening was just... luck. Yeah, Luffy was just lucky that his big brother had been so wise and explained him how to do a potato mash. But you need to be better, you couldn't call yourself a cook just because you knew how to peel potatoes and carrots! Luffy had to admit that now!

But even after the 'breakfast', as everyone went out of the kitchen again, hungry as they were, Luffy said nothing. Sanji glared at him one more time before he, too made his way out of the kitchen, totally annoyed by the event.

But actually, Luffy had realized he'd cooked really shitty but just couldn't find the courage to say it. Or had he been to proud to admit it in front of Sanji?

'Oh just too great! Luffy will probably do the same for lunch! And for dinner! And what about the small snacks?" Sanji lit another cigarette and threw the empty package of them carelessly into the ocean, too pissed off to bother with that right now.

"Why does he have to be so damn stubborn?" Making his way to the deck, Sanji sighed as he sat down onto the swing. Oh yeah, he forgot. He didn't have to do anything right now. No cooking, no mixing some drinks for his two beauties, no cleaning the dishes.

That was Luffy's job, not his. Sanji suddenly couldn't help but wonder what the rubber boy did the whole day. It must be pretty damn boring! Sanji stared up in the sky, not wanting to play something childish with Usopp and Chopper. Bothering Nami was never a good idea, although it sounded tempting, listening to Brook's violine playing was pretty boring too. Robin was reading and Franky was repairing the door of the kitchen.

Speaking of the kitchen, there was Luffy and propably cleaned the plates. Besides, he was still somewhat angry at the rubber teen. And the last one was Zoro. Oh gosh, Zoro.

Zoro was the last one on earth to whom Sanji would go if he was bored. The young man with the blond hair let a soft sigh escape his lips. It was such a beautiful day and he had nothing to do with all the spare time he got! It was a shame. All of sudden, Sanji thought that it maybe wouldn't be too bad to go to Zoro.

'The lazy moron probably is somewhere around, sleeping. Or trying to train his brain out. ' Sanji imagined the green-haired man hopping around like an easter bunny, a nice fluffly plush on his butt with one huge weight on his back. The former cook chuckled at that, the thought of it was hilarious.

He decided to go and search for the green-haired swordsman. After all, he was captain now and Zoro his first mate. The spinach-head had to be loyal to his captain.

Soon the blond found him, sleeping. Now what should he do? Sanji felt like teasing the other, that was why he had searched for Zoro in the first place. But what should h- what was that? Sanji frowned before a huge smirk was to be seen upon his face. Yeah, all of sudden he felt like he needed to exclaim his first order as the captain of the Thousand Sunny!

He kicked Zoro into the ribs. "Oi, mildew-head, wake up and listen to your captain." he said, trying to sound cool and look calm. Zoro quickly cracked his eye open and bristled with anger, slowly standing up as he recognized Sanji standing above him.

"Mildew-head? Oi!" he first complained in a deep voice, glaring at Sanji. "What the fuck do you want, milksop?"

Sanji ignored the insult and just snorted. "You see this, marimo?" He pointed at the mast. "You may be stupid but you're not blind, are you?"

Zoro's eyes narrowed and he frowned. "What the heck do you mean?" he growled impatiently, not understanding what the blonde was getting at. Sanji rolled his eyes dramatically and sighed in an annoyed tone.

"There! You see how dirty the mast is?" he said.

Now it was Zoro's turn to roll his eyes and he shrugged. "So what? I don't care, now fuck off and lemme sleep."

"No no no. It's not that easy, my friend. As the captain of this ship I have to watch over it and I'm responsibel if it's scrubby - like this." He said and tried to sound arrogant to annoy Zoro as much as possible, before he added, "So I ask you to clean it - oh, and I guess the rest of the ship needs a little cleaning, too."

"WHAT? Are you stupid? If you're responsibel then clean it yourself, damn it! Besides, it looks perfectly fine to me!" Zoro scoffed angrily, not liking the way Sanji talked to him. This stupid dart-board!

Now Sanji smirked as if he'd known this would happen. "C'mon marimo, just do it! It's only a little job I ask you to do and oh! Guess what, it's captain's orders!" Sanji said. Yeah, that felt good. Sanji could practically feel Zoro's blood boiling.

"You dirty little..." the other started between clenched teeth but Sanji ignored him again.

"What's that? I thought you were more the loyal type? So just go for it, Marimo! It's nothing for a man like you."

Zoro angrily stomped at the ground, turning away to search for some brooms he could use to clean the shitty deck and the damned mast. And Sanji, Sanji was sitting on the figure's head and enjoyed the soft breeze in his hair and face, suddenly liking it very much to be the captain. It had lots of advantages, and at the moment Sanji couldn't think of any disadvantages! What a great day it was!

Suddenly, Nami's voice disturbed him from his thoughts as she opened her door. "Uhm San- ,ehm, Captain Sanji!" she corrected herself while rolling with her eyes. "There's an island!"

Sanji's heart eye blinked. "Eh? Oh, I can see it already! Course straight ahead" He ordered, smiling. Yeah, being the captain was just as easy as he had imagined.
