His Girls

Summary: He may flirt with other females, but he would always return back to his girls
Timeline: Before 3D2Y
Main character(s): Sanji, Nami, Robin

"Ah! What beauty!" a man exclaimed, sauntering over to her. "I had never seen such beauty before. Your hair is as bright as the sun, your eyes as precious as sapphires, and your skin as fair as moonstone." He knelt down on one knee, offering a red rose. "My lady, would you graciously accept this rose, though the smoothness of its petals surely pales in comparison to you?"

She blushed. The man was very handsome. Suave, too. He was probably well-off, judging by his suit. Not a criminal either, since she didn't remember seeing his face on the wanted posters. And she was single at the moment, though a chance to change that was kneeling right before her.

The women daintily took the offered flower. "Thank you, er..." She trailed off, hoping to get his name.

In one swift movement, he twirled up from his spot and bowed, like a noble would. "I am Mr. Prince, but you may call me—"

"Sanji-kun!"

Suddenly, the suave look disappeared, replaced by a love-struck expression. "Mellorine!" he said as he swirled around, clasping his hands before his chest.

She, too, looked over, curious as to what had caught his attention. It was a young woman with short orange hair, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and mini-short jeans. Pretty, but rather plain compared to her, the redhead decided.

"Mellorine!" her handsome prince swooned. Without a backwards glance or even a goodbye, he dashed over to the other women. "Mellorine!"

"Sanji-kun, help me hold these," the orange-haired girl ordered, gesturing at the small pile of bags by her feet.

In an instant, all the bags were dangling from his arms. "Hai, Nami-swan!"

"Don't you dare drop them. Some of the stuff are breakable."

"Hai, Nami-swan!"

The redhead just stared dumbly at the retreating pair. Had she just been dumped? And for someone who couldn't even hold candles to her appearance?

-X-X-X-X-X-

"Hey, sexy," a female purred into his ears. A soft body pressed up against his back, and a pair of slender arms snaked around his waist.

Sanji could feel the blood rushing to his head, threatening a nosebleed.

"You look wealthy, Mr. Sexy. There's a necklace that I want but I just don't have emough belli to buy it." he could hear the pout in her voice. "I promise you a very good time if you buy it for me."

A tongue licked the nape of his neck, making him shiver. "Hai!" was the only answer his mind could provide.

"Goooood." She gestured at one of the stalls in the bazaar. "I want the thin sliver chained necklace with a raindrop-shaped sapphire surrounded by numerous tiny diamonds."

"Hai!"

When she finally let go of his back, Sanji twirled towards the stall with a lovestruck expression written across his face. He was about to pick up the necklace when something else caught his eyes - an old tome written in runes. Robin-chan would love that, he thought.

Sanji glanced at the price tag. Both the necklace and the book were being sold for the same price, but he only had enough money to buy one of the items.

It only took a spilt second decision before he picked up the tome and told the stall vendor, "I'll like to buy this."

After apologizing to the women, Sanji headed towards his home, their pirate ship, with the book, covered in a nice wrapping paper, in toll.

What do you think of my drabble/one shot fic? Please Read and Review. I would love to know how good and how bad my fics are. If you want to flame me, at least make it constructive criticism.

Disclaimer: Sadly enough, as much as I love One Piece, I don't own anything here but the drabble /one shot themselves and the OCs (if there are any)
