HGG: soooo Zoro Sanji you can get out of the boat now

Zoro: About time!

Sanji: What took so long my lady

HGG: My corrections

Zoro: oh yea we were put on that boat twice technically

HGG: your right

Sanji: Now my ladies HGG does not own one piece and never will if she did she would…. Uh what would you do?

HGG: make my cosplaying dream come true!

Luffy: on with the story!

"Finally, land and a lead!" called Sanji as he climbed out of the much abused mini merry. But of course Sanji being Sanji he quickly finds beautiful ladies and acts… weird.

"Oi, you shitty cook! Aren't you forgetting about our captain?" Zoro says already losing his patience with Sanji.

"My fair maiden you have blessed me with your presence! I would die a happy man if you would let me escort you to a restaurant so we may talk of our wonderful future together!" heart eyes pounding and a rose that just appeared out of nowhere Sanji has indeed forgotten about their lost captain and friend. Zoro, not so easily distracted by women goes up to a woman with three children in tow.

"Excuse me but have you seen a boy about this tall, black hair, a scar below his left eye, straw hat and is obsessed with meat?" she looks at him pondering then says cheerfully, "Why you have just described our princess in appearance just off on the straw hat." Zoro, now confused as crap pulls Sanji away from the women by the ear and tells him what the woman just said.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence Marimo. There is no way Luffy would pose as a princess." They thought about that for a moment and decided he would do most anything for meat.

"Well we might as well go check out this princess of theirs." Zoro says with a halfhearted sigh. Before they can get a proper start Sanji is once again distracted by a pretty lady.

"This is going to be a long day."

LOLZ

Finally out of my room after two weeks of punishment makes you feel… hungry. I walk to the kitchen, alone for once. The guards let me be when I told them I was simply going to eat a snack and go back to studying, that was a complete lie of course, and best of all Pax is in war meetings all day with Ramses so I can sneak off to the village again. Hey I may have been punished but I didn't learn my lesson. When I got to the kitchen a nice big plate of meat I have never had before was waiting for me in the kitchen with a note.

Luffy this meat is for you. After living with you for two weeks I realized just how much you love food and predicted you would want something when you are let out today. Please enjoy!

Annabel XD

"Yosh, meat!" I grab the plate and tip the contents in my mouth not bothering to chew. I throw the plate into the sink hearing a smash and race out into the garden not bothering to clean it up.

It is a beautiful day today. Perfect for being let out of prison! I run around, climb some trees and even chase some unsuspecting animals. The animals made me miss Chopper. But I don't stay down for long and start playing again. After losing my third squirrel in a bush I see a crevice in the palace wall. I go over to it and know just by looking at it I can't fit. Hey, it's just a wall and no one's around.

"Gum Gum Pistol!" now I can fit. I crawl through and end up in the small forest in front of the palace. I start to walk in the general direction of the road I remember I don't want to be seen out of the castle. Instead, I walk through it fallowing the road from a distance to reach the bustling town of Ramondistan. I run right into the crowd excited and ready to play.

MWAHAHAHAHAH! *Cough*

"Look what you did Marimo, we are lost!"

"In my defense I never forced you to follow me." I say board and ready for a nap.

"If I hadn't have followed you, you cou-" I look to Sanji, breaking my gaze from a very promising place to nap.

"Oi, curly brows what's got your attention?" but before I can even get an answer he is off with rose in hand. This time it's blue. Poor girl doesn't expect a thing. I go to the tree I was staring at earlier and drop for a nap. I peak through my left eye to see if the girl has walked off yet. She is desperately trying to hide her face. Sanji of course is coaxing her to look at him with heart eyes in place. Then I see it, the unmistakable straw hat hanging behind her back. I get up and call to Sanji. "Sanji, I think that's Luffy!" he looks confused and goes to ask her when she takes off, her black satin dress cascading behind her. Combat boots clanking as she goes.

"Oi, Luffy come back!" Sanji calls. We run after our captain. He is acting so strange. Did he hit his head or something? We follow him through an ally, when he turns a corner. Sanji breezes past before me because of his head start when I hear him crash into something. I smirk when I see him trying to untangle himself from ropes and crates.

"See ya can't let our captain elude us can we?" I jump the fence separating the next ally.

"Stupid Marimo!" I hear him yell behind me. Luffy is ahead obviously having trouble running in the dress, when he trips and falls face first. I stifle a laugh and go to help him up. He's half way up when I grab his arm. He slaps me away and keeps running.

"What the hell Luffy!" I run after him again. He turns another corner when I hear Sanji.

"What's up with him moss head?"

"How should I know?" I holler back. Getting really aggravated I am about to throw something at him when I turn the corner to see we hit a dead end. Finally he's cornered and we can know what's going on. Except Luffy decides to try and climb the back of the building. It has some boarded up windows so it shouldn't be too hard for the monkey. But, his dress gets in the way and he falls. Sanji grabs him. Luffy tries to escape but ends up tripping and falling in Sanji's lap.

"Hold him still Sanji. I am tired of playing his game." I say looking down at them. I bend to sit on my knees and try to talk to him.

"Make it quick, I'm tired of this too."

"Luffy, why did you run?"

"I don't know what you're talking about. My name is Patience Sophia Heart and I am princess of Ramondistan." Now I am really confused. Could we have mistaken her for Luffy? No his ability to lie has gotten better but he still looks away and puckers his lip. At least he's not whistling.

"Luffy stop, we have been searching for you for weeks, just come with us back to the Merry." He looks away not bothering to speak. I take his chin into my hand but he still won't look at me.

"I'm a girl so please let me go I'm not the person you're looking for." I could hear the hurt in his voice. Aggravated and sleep deprived I growl at him. He's obviously decided to do something and there is no talking him out of it once he is set on doing it. So I need to throw him off if we want to know what's going on. The only thing that pops to mind is something I know I will regret soon after.

"Sanji, let go she's not Luffy." He looks at me skeptical. But complies

Luffy goes to run again but I grab him and push him into the wall

"Zoro, stop!" I pay no heed to his demands

"Sorry but I only take orders from my captain" I lean into him and grab his chin. He's confused.

I press our lips together in a heated kiss. I lick his lips for entrance, obviously surprised by this he gasps so I stick my tongue in his mouth exploring the cavern.

"Zoro, guards are coming." I break the kiss knowing the danger is not to be ignored. Luffy is as red as a tomato but holds on to my shirt none the less.

"Why did you run?" I whisper in his ear. It takes a while considering his distraction and answers,

"To protect you and this kingdom." Please tell me he did not say and this kingdom.

"Why do you want to protect this kingdom?" I really hope he wasn't serious. What has this world come to?

"Because they think I'm the princess." He says still looking anywhere but at me. Instead he looks over at Sanji. "I'm not leaving until I find the princess and kick Pax's ass." Sanji inhales two big puffs of the cigarette he lit and nods.

"But we can't just leave you alone." Luffy looks like he is attempting to think but is interrupted.

"Step away from the princess and get down on your knees. You are arrested for the kidnapping of her majesty." We are surrounded in seconds. I look to Luffy and see he doesn't want us to resist. We are taken to the castle and thrown in front of the king.

"Your highness, these must be the ones who kidnapped your daughter. They must be attempting to do so again." Says a man with multicolored eyes; something about him makes me on edge.

"Pax where is my daughter I want to know if she's alright?"

"I don't think we should bother her. If I may, I think we should kill them as soon as possible to end your daughter's suffering." The doors to the throne room slam open to reveal Luffy, looking rather pissed but … elegant as well.

"Patience, are you alright?"

"I am fine father. These men saved me after all." He looks dumbstruck. Why is Luffy so- smart sounding?

"But this simply cannot be. They have been reported to be pirates! She must be lying." That hit a nerve in the king.

"Are you saying my daughter is a liar?" he all but yells at his adviser. I am still shell shocked by the fact that Luffy looks so… serious, outside of battle of course. I look to Sanji to see him watching with interest.

"No sire, what I meant was that maybe they are forcing her to." he calms a bit then looks to Luffy, "Are you sure these men saved your life?" Luffy looks at them and doesn't falter when he answers,

"Yes, if it wasn't for them I would be dead a long time ago." The king looks satisfied. He looks to a man off to the side, "Brutus, escort them to their ship and give them a reward, I think 300,000 beli should suffice." We are unchained but Luffy spoke up.

"But father I want them to be my personal bodyguards." I look to see Pax who is not pleased.

"Daughter you have your choosing of any man in this palace, why them?" he looked drained but reluctant.

"Because I trust them and I like them. I won't take no for an answer." He looks at Luffy and nods.

"Okay, but you are also responsible for them." Luffy looks pleased with himself and grabs us by the hands still in character.

"Of course father, I won't let you down!" he calls back. He drags us out of the throne room and through most of the castle. We end up in a room well furnished with dark wood and many gothic looking accents.

"Luffy what the hell is going on?" I yell. He looks to Sanji to answer.

"They think I'm their princess and if I don't find her she will die." Realizing I am getting the silent treatment I let Sanji talk to him.

"Well, who has her?"

"Pax, I just need to figure out where he has her so I can kick his ass." Unable to keep back the curiosity I ask Luffy what happened in the throne room.

"Luffy, how were you able to sound so intelligent and princess- like back in the throne room?" he reluctantly looks at me, but a girl answers for him.

"I bet the necklace influenced him. It has the wisdom and power of the past rulers within it." Luffy looks excited to see her. Not that I'm jealous or anything. Luffy goes over to her but is pushed out of the way by Sanji once again with heart eyes and a purple rose that appears out of nowhere.

"What a beauty to behold! Please except this gift and be mine!" I try so hard to not grab my swords. My hand still twitches on Wadō Ichimonji.

"I appreciate the complement but all I want from you is to bring Patience back." Sanji gets serious again.

"Whatever you need us to do we will do it." She smiles.

"Thank you, Luffy said we could count on his crew." Luffy goes over to her.

"Annabel, can you give Sanji and Zoro a room? I don't think Ramses would want them staying here." Annabel nods enthusiastically.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of your nakama!" she practically skips out of the room.

"Luffy, about earlier-"

"Just go Zoro, I feel weird when I think about that and I don't know why." I think I do, but I go anyway. On our way to our rooms I ask her about the power of the necklace.

"Over the years as the rulers die there past experiences and power goes into the gem to help the next heir during their generation. It is also said that because of this the power inside is also quite destructive. That is why it looks at the heart of the person and not his status. I guess it deemed Luffy fit to hear it."

"Hear it?"

"I don't know any other way to describe it. I guess you feel it in your heart or something to know if it's right."

"And what about this power it has?" asked Sanji eager to get in on the conversation.

"All I know is its powerful and with it someone could easily destroy our kingdom if used correctly." A pause, then we come up on our room.

"The personal bodyguards stay on the same floor and in the same wing of the castle as the princess. That way if there is danger they won't be far." She opens the door for Sanji. "This one is yours."

"Thank you very much." He gets down on one knee and takes her hand. "But know if there is ever any danger I will be by your side in a flash." She smiles uncomfortably and takes her hand back. I feel sorry for any girl caught in Sanji's radar. She opens the door next to Sanji's.

"This is ` yours; if any of you need anything just ask one of the maids. They will be glad to serve you." She bows and leaves. I go in my room thinking of how much of a headache this will be.
