Viola and Sanji walked up the bridge, flowers raining down on them.
"Straw Hat Luffy, thank you for allowing me on your ship" Viola bowed
"Heh, it's no big deal really, OK guys ready to set sail?"
"Aye!" The crew and guests cheered, pumping a fist to the sky
"Let me show you to your bedroom sis" Franky offered taking her suitcases. "You don't need to worry about it being too dusty, just because no one uses it, is no excuse for a proper shipwright not to take care of his boat" he boasted
"You seem like a very handy man, Franky" Viola smiled as she followed.
"I got to get started on lunch and dinner, so I'm sure Franky or Robin will be happy to help you settle in." Sanji smiled
"Yes, why don't we" Robin smiled walking down the stairs. "Franky, why don't you get Sanji's stuff out of his cabin."
"Supa!" Franky cheered, crossing his box elbows to make his signature star flash, as Usopp, Chopper and Luffy copied.
"Does he.. does he do that often?" Viola asked, taken back by his strange behavior
"More than he should." Robin smiled "Franky is an odd one, but he grows on you pretty fast"
"You sound like you really love him." Viola smiled, Robin was taken back, blush filling her cheeks
"I, ugh, well," She began before clearing her throat, when a door slammed open
"I believe I have done it, a new song for the happy couple" Brook cheered holding an older acoustic guitar "I studied the Latin/jazz tunes I could find in Dressrosa and believe I can now play in their style if you wish." As he dawned his afro with a sombrero and begin playing a song. Brook played his heart out, as Viola could not help but dance, either stomping her feet with her castanets in hand, or swishing and swinging her hips back and forth "Seems you know what you're doing, yohoho" Brook smiled as he slowed down the melody
"My cover as a spy was always a dancer, I'm sure you and I will get along, oh mighty musician"
"You're going to make me blush, but... I don't have cheeks! Skull Joke!" Brook screamed, throwing off Viola's rhythm, as he began to bounce around the boat now playing an upbeat rock song.
"You are a lovely dancer, but if you're all done now, how about we help move you in" Robin smiled as the three found their way to the master bedroom. It was a proper looking golden room, with empty bookshelves and an untouched queen size bed, and windows facing the sea. Viola insisted on putting away her own things, sent the two away and threw herself onto her bed. Viola could not help but cry, feeling Dressrosa, her home, and her family literally drift away. But, this was her new family now and her new life with her new husband. The tears made her drowsy and she decided to take a nap in her new bed.
When Viola awoke, Sanji had already come and left her lunch, a spicy platter with brown rice and refried beans on the side. Once done eating Viola came out to see the moon was already rising and the sky was a lovely dark blue. She turned to see Zoro sitting against the wall, drinking.
"Have you seen Sanji-sama?" Viola asked.
"He went in that direction" Zoro pointed up toward the massive crows nest and bath-house. Viola climbed up the ladder akwardly, unsure whether Zoro had pointed her in the correct direction.
"Mmm, what a lucky woman I am to have such a ...stud like you" She heard Robin giggle. Anger and jealousy burned in Viola's body as she raced her way up the ladder.
'How dare that woman steal my Sanji-sama from me. I should have known not to trust her any more than I trusted Nami. Viola kicked the door open and ran into the steam.
"Where are you! Show yourself to me Nico Robin!" Viola shouted. Viola walked to the edge of where the bathtub started to find a bare naked Robin soaking in the water, facing away from Voila. Across from her was Franky, as naked as he could be in his condition.
'Oh my, he's even bigger than, are those studs? How would he even?' All thoughts racing through Viola's head at once.
"Can we help you with something?" Robin asked with a foxy grin, her long black hair sticking to her back as she rose up from the water, exposing her front and grabbing a towel.
"I-I-I... was looking for Sanji-sama, and Zoro-san pointed me in this-"
"First mistake." Franky said getting himself a towel, all his scars and metal pieces exposed. "Never trust Zoro-bro for directions. Besides Cook-bro is probably in the kitchen working on dessert."
"I just... and you two are... uh, yes I will go check there, forgive me for intruding"
"Don't worry, you missed the show, even the big finale" Franky said with a hearty laugh, as Robin broke eye contact with Viola, looking away a fluster. Viola continued to bow and apologize with every backwards step towards the exit. Deciding to search on her own, Viola then found herself in the library of the Sunny. Taken in by how many books there were, Viola ran her fingers through the covers upon shelves. Books on Carpentry... Music Notes...Medicine.. When a certain style caught her eye.
She found a series of paperback mystery novels all written by her favorite author.
"I haven't seen these in ages" Viola said breezing through the old pages now a faint yellow from age.
"Be careful with those, they're worth a lot of money" Nami said, giving Viola a jump. She turned to see Nami working on a wide desk, working on her maps.
"Is money all you think about?" Viola smirked
"Most of the time" Nami smirked back "but I do mean it when I say they are important to me. These were from my house in the East Blue, my mother used to read them to me."
"My mother would read them to myself and Scarlet as well. Hey! You even have some of the newer stuff" Viola said, picking out a few novels with pages still a fresh white and no dog ears or ripped pages.
"I didn't even steal them, I paid for them with money believe it or not" Nami giggled.
"Glad to see you two are getting along now" Sanji smiled as he entered the library with two plates with single slices of cheesecake"
"Oh that cake looks delicious Sanji" Nami said, hoping up from her desk and skipping toward him. Sanji nearly dropped the plates as he held his hand to his nose.
"Is something the matter Sanji-sama?" Viola asked
"It's just that... that ugh.. Nami." Sanji began when Luffy crawled his way through the door.
"Cake? I want cake!" He smiled taking on the two plates. "Oh hey Nami, your nipple is slipping out of your bikini again" Luffy said casually as he ate the cake slice in one bite. Nami looked down and confirmed Luffy was right as the slightest shade of her pink areola poked out of the edge of her frilly bikini top.
"Well that's a risk I take sometimes with these outfits. Sorry about that" Nami apologized, re-adjusting her top
"Do you dress like this often? I do recall you wearing similar attire during the war in Dressrsa" Viola said, the bond between novels now gone between them by the bitterness in her voice.
"Oh that's nothing, one time after the Alabasta war, Nami just threw off all her clothes for us guys. She called it the 'Happiness Punch!'" Luffy laughed doing his best impression of Nami's voice and opening his red shirt as if to expose breasts. Viola ran out of the room crying, knocking the plates out of Sanji's hand, breaking them on the ground.
"Damnit Luffy, do you have any brains?" Sanji yelled chasing after Viola
"Sheesh, what did I do? Nami's the one who keeps showing her boobs" Luffy muttered
"What was that?" Brook asked peeking his head in the door
"Both of you out now!" Nami yelled, kicking Luffy out and slamming the door"
