Sanji had woken up at his usual time to make breakfast. He temporarily forgot that he agreed to Law's conditions and about jumped out of his skin when he woke up in Law's arms. When he remembered, a second later, he carefully got up so he didn't wake him and jumped to the deck. Some how he managed to land quietly and headed to the kitchen without waking anyone up.
When he enter the kitchen he was surprised to see Robin sitting at the bar reading one of her books.
"Robin-Chan?! You're up already?"
"Good morning Sanji. Sleep well?" Robin turned to him with her wide smile that Sanji loved so much, however there was something about it this time that told him she knew something.
"Eh... I-I-I... Uh..."
"It's okay you don't need to explain anything... What I am concerned about is... why is Tra-guy blackmailing you?"
"Uh... I... umm... Uh... Well... He... I-I-I..."
"It's okay, Sanji. As long as he doesn't hurt you, and you're okay with it... then it's okay with me. But if I find out he has hurt you, Luffy will find out about it and you and I both know he won't be happy."
Sanji stared at her, his mouth hung open.
"If you're wondering how I know..." Robin began as two hands grew out of the counter top. One had an eye on the palm, the other an ear. "Sorry for eavesdropping but something seemed off when you ran off with Law yesterday. Don't worry I didn't hear everything. Just Law saying something about on the condition that you be his for the duration of our alliance. Which lead me to believe he was holding something against you. When I woke up and found you weren't in the kitchen I figured you were still on lookout... but when Law wasn't on the deck were he had fallen asleep after everyone else went to bed... Well I figured he was with you in the Crows Nest... so I checked and you two were sleeping."
Sanji didn't say anything.
"No need to be embarrassed. You're secret is safe with me. Although I'm surprised you gave into blackmail... However, if you decide you want to talk about it...," Robin stood up and walked to the door. She placed a hand on Sanji's shoulder, who was now staring at his feet, and smiled, "I'm always here to listen."
Sanji remained frozen in place for about five minutes after Robin left.
Sanji was frying some eggs when the door opened and closed. He didn't turn to see who it was as the sound of footsteps came closer.
"Good morning," Law said feeling Sanji tense up when he wrapped his arms around his waist and rested his chin on the cook's shoulder.
"You fell asleep," Sanji said bluntly.
"Yeah, sorry about that. Guess I was more tired then I thought."
"... Robin knows...," Sanji stated absentmindedly.
"Yeah... She... er... gave me a bit of a lecture before I came in here. Your crew really cares about you."
"Maybe...," Sanji said reaching for the plates by the stove to put the finished eggs on.
"What's that supposed to mean."
"They care about who they think I am, not who I really am."
"No, they care about who they know you are... You said yourself you're not a Vensmoke. You sure don't act like one." He glanced down noticing that Sanji was only standing on one foot, the tip of his right shoe touched the floor, clearly trying not to put weight on it. "You really shouldn't be walking on that leg to much."
"Now you say something."
"It's bothering you. You're not putting weight on it," Law said leaning down to kiss his neck.
"I'm fine... Someone's coming..."
"I since them too...," he said moving to nip at Sanji's ear. "You're point is?"
"N-not n-now, please...," Sanji stuttered hoping Law would alow the breaking of one of his rules this once.
"Mmm... alright... I'll wait till after breakfast, this time."
Sanji let out a sigh of relief and sure enough as soon as Law walked away Luffy barged into the kitchen with his hands in the air.
"SAAAANNNJIIII! FOOOOOOOOOOOD!"
"Yeah, yeah. It's right here. Now shut up." Sanji said placing the plates on the table and went to the door as everyone else filtered in.
Robin spotted Law standing by the table and shot Sanji a quick glance, reconfirming what she had said earlier.
"Sanji! Where are you going?!" Luffy wined.
"The deck. It's crowded in here. Marimo takes up to much space."
"What'd you say, curly brows?!"
"You heard me!" Sanji said disappearing threw the door.
"We should be eating as a crew, Sanji!" Luffy hollered after him.
"I ate while I cooked!" Sanji hollered back.
"Why does he always do that," Luffy pouted.
Robin chuckled, "he's the cook. Typically the cook isn't that hungry by the time they're done cooking."
"That is true," Nami said. "I know when I was cooking for the crew, before Sanji joined, I didn't feel like eating much by the time I was done."
"We're having this conversation, why?"
"Zoro! Luffy asked. We explained," Nami said.
"Unexepytable! Sanji's cooking is to good for anyone to pass up! Even him!"
"You realize it just means more for us, right?" Zoro pointed out. "Which means more for you."
At that, Luffy's eyes turned to meat.
"Although I could care less, his cooking makes me sick."
"Do you always have to say stuff like that, Zoro?!" Nami said. "It's really not necessary!"
Zoro glared at the navigator and she glared back.
Law took one look at the toast laying on everyone's plates, rinckled his nose and mentally kicked himself for neglecting to tell Sanji he didn't lick bread... Thinkfully, it didn't take long for Luffy's rubbery arms to begin flying around the table and stealing from everyone's plates. He pretended not to notice and slid the two slices to the edge of his plate closest to Luffy and watched as they quickly vanished into the Straw Hat captain's mouth.
At least they didn't have to go to waist, he thought to himself.
Sanji stood by the railing as he lit a cigarette. He stared out at the waves, lost in a mental argument with himself.
What the hell are you doing, Sanji! Just tell them! Then you won't have to let him do that again! It's not that hard to say! 'Hey guys I've got something to tell you. In the North Blue, I'm a run away Prince. Yeah, sorry for keeping it from you all this time... But hey! I'm telling you now, and it isn't like I haven't dropped twenty billion hints this whole time! So it's really your own fault you haven't figured it out yet~'
"Aaaaagh!" Sanji said ruffling his hair with both hands out of aggravation. "What are you think! Just deal with it awhile longer! It isn't like they really need to know! He doesn't want you back there, so it isn't like he'll come after you... No, if he did want you back he'd send someone, not come for you himself! There's no way not telling them will put them in any danger, so it's no big deal!"
"Talk to yourself often?"
Sanji jumped, realizing that he hadn't remained calm enough for his observation haki to be very effective. "Oh, it's just you, Tra-guy. I was just thinking. Didn't realize I was doing it out loud."
"We should be contacting Doflamingo soon... If he actually quit the Warlords," Law said absentmindedly as he leaned against the railing.
"Everyone! The morning paper is here! Yohoho!" Brook sang while dancing around on the deck with his guitar in one hand and the paper in the other.
"Well isn't that ironic. Looks like you'll by getting your answer sooner then you thought," Sanji said turning in the direction of Brook's voice.
"If it's on there, fine. If it's not..." Law began but didn't finish as he fallowed Sanji.
Luffy took the paper from Brook and spread it out on the deck as everyone gathered around to see.
"Donquixore Doflamingo with draws from the Seven Warlords! He's renouncing as King of Dressrosa?!"
"HE REALLY DID IT!" Usopp shouted.
"K-king?! He was a king?!" Brook said worried.
"King?! Of the Bird Kingdom?!" Luffy asked.
"It's much creapier when things actually proceed smoothly like this...," Franky stated.
"This will do. He didn't have any other option!" Law said.
Just then, Caesar yelled with joyful tears in his eyes, "JOKER! TO GO THAT FAR FOR ME!"
Luffy looked at Law and asked with a smile, "So why are our faces on there too?"
"What?" Everyone asked looking to the article Luffy was pointing at.
"It's me... I left the Warlords," came Doflamingo's voice from the transponder snail.
"He answered!" Chopper and Kinemon said in shock one after another.
"Doflamingo?!" Luffy said.
"Shhhh! They'll hear your voices!" Usopp yelled at the three.
"HELLO, I'M MONKEY D. LUFFY! THE MAN WHO WILL BECOME KING OF THE PIRATES!"
"I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!" Usopp yelled while punching him in the back of the head.
"HEY, MINGO!" Luffy grabbed the transponder snail from Law and continued to yell into it as Usopp grabbed him around the neck and struggled to pull him back. "Are you the boss of that idiot Caesar who did all those things to Brown Beard and the children!? I'm going to give Caesar back just because I promised... but if you do it again I'm gonna go there and kick your ass!"
"Straw Hat Luffy... It's been two years since you're brother died..."
After they got of the call with Doflamingo, Law tried to explain to Luffy how dangerous it was to just go to Dressrosa with out a plain when all the sudden Luffy shouted "Sanji, I'm hungry, what's for Lunch?!" while running past Law to the kitchen and throwing his arms I the air.
"Sandwiches," Sanji replied heading to the stairs just before Luffy reached them.
Law looked irritated with the Straw Hats, who were now telling Sanji what they wanted and saying how good his food... and worst of all... Sandwiches... were. His serious and highly important conversation now to far interrupted by Luffy's stomach.
Subconsciously Law shouted, "I hate bread!"
"Then how about rice balls?" Sanji asked looking over his shoulder.
"That's fine..." He then realized that some how he managed to let him self get distracted from what was important by food.
Sanji, being the only one to see Law's current expression, couldn't help but chuckle. Adorable, he thought subconsciously... Whaaaa...?! He screamed internally, unable to believe he just thought that. He shook his head and turned to Nami and Robin... They're adorable, Sanji! Them! Robin-chwan my sweet and Nami-swan my love!
Okay so Law hating bread isn't the main point of the Chapter but I think we can all agree that it is kinda funny... (I think...) Soooo I'll just use that as the chapter title... lol
