(A/n Hello everyone! This is the last chapter! It'll just be a little thing on how the Straw Hats P. are doing afterwards. And I mentioned that their next destination was Water 7 in here, I believe in the movie description for Omatsuri it mentioned that this took place before the Water 7 arc. Thanks for all the reviews! I hope you enjoy!)


The sun set on the horizon casting a warm glow on the ocean. In this blue sea we find a ship, it's name the Going Merry. Currently the deck is empty, the only signs of movement are the sails and the orange trees swaying in the wind. If you listen closely, you can hear the shouts of the crew.

"Oi Luffy that's my food give it back!" Usopp exclaimed. The sniper reached over the table in an attempt to grab his meat before it was consumed. But he was no match for his captain's speed and in the blink of an eye it was gone.

Luffy leaned back in his chair licking his lips. A hand massaged his bulging stomach while the other was pumped in the air, and in a demanding tone he called out to the cook, "Sanji more meat!"

From where Sanji stood at the stove he glanced over his shoulder an incredulous look on his face, "Haven't you had enough Luffy? We have to ration our supplies you know."

Luffy's brows furrowed and in a stubborn tone he shouted once more, "Sanji! Meat!"

"Oi enough with the shouting you're gonna burst my eardrum!' Nami complained as she held a hand to her ear for emphasis. The navigator was sitting next to the loud captain, probably a bad choice of seating. As the man began arguing with Sanji for Luffy to be quiet-none to quietly either-Nami smiled. She didn't know why she even bothered sometimes.

"Hey shitty cook more booze." Zoro said as he held up his empty mug. Sanji immediately dropped his argument with Luffy and turned towards Zoro a sour look on his face.

Sanji scrunched up his nose and said in a mocking tone, "Eh? What do I look like to you? A waiter? Get your own booze marimo."

Zoro chuckled darkly, slightly unsheathing a sword as he began to stand. "Well you're serving us food aren't you? So that makes you-"

"Knock it off!" Nami snapped from her seat, cutting off Zoro's insult. Robin's lips barely twitched up into a smile as she observed the scene playing out before her. It was quite amazing how Navigator-san could break up a fight with just a few words…

The rowdy dinner continued for another half hour. Soon after Sanji had cleaned everything up and everyone went out do to their own things. Chopper and Usopp began a game of hide-and-seek. Nami headed for the baths. Zoro decided to find another comfortable place to take a nap. Luffy went to lounge on the figurehead. And Robin and Sanji were on the upper deck.

Normally Sanji would bombard Robin-chan with flirtatious questions in an attempt to please her, but he sensed the woman wanted to talk about something. Something serious. The cook lit a cigarette and gazed at the fading sunlight, waiting for her to speak.

"It's a beautiful night, no?" Sanji glanced at Robin-chan from the corner of his eyes. The woman was looking at something in the distance. He grunted in agreement. Maybe he had it wrong? Maybe Robin-chan didn't want to talk about something...could this be a...confession?! Sanji coughed numerous times and brought a hand to his nose to stop himself from having a nosebleed.

Robin turned her head in his direction and asked, "Cook-san are you alright?" With his freehand he nodded and gave her a thumbs-up. "I wanted to ask you something. Do you think Captain-san is alright after what he went through?"

Sanji paused, slightly taken aback by this question. His eyes flickered to Luffy who was resting on the Merry's figurehead as of this moment. He exhaled, releasing a puff of smoke from his mouth before answering. "If he isn't he will be. Luffy always pulls through no matter what you throw at him. It's been what, a week already?"

"One week, two days." Robin informed him. Sanji nodded slowly.

"We'll be coming up on Water 7 soon...let's hope nothing happens there." Robin gave him a light smile and nodded in agreement. The conversation seemingly ended and soon after Robin left. The cook however lingered on the upper deck, lost in his thoughts.

The days since their departure from Omatsuri Island were cheerful. Although sometimes like tonight there were quiet. He could hear the waves crashing up against the Merry, they gently rocked the ship as they sailed onwards. Sanji had a newfound respect for Luffy. Since joining his crew Sanji didn't think there was ever a situation where Luffy was ever all alone fighting. It all depended on him. The lives of his nakama depended on him. The man was stubborn, strong, and had something about him that drawed people towards him-those people being friends or foe. This man was his captain. He would stick by his side until he completed his dream and Sanji his own and even further. He believed that this man, would become the king of the pirates.
