Chapter 7- Six Egging Geese
Author's Note: This is Sanji's Shopping day.
Sanji woke up fairly early as he quickly stood up, got dressed, and made his way out into the hallway.
"I guess I should go buy Robin-chan and Nami-san's gifts now." Sanji said as he pulled out a cigarette and placed it between his teeth.
He walked down into the lobby, and stopped so he could light the cigarette.
Sanji put his coat on, and walked out into the bright sunlight as he made his way to the stores.
Sanji walked up to the Hot Springs, and grinned slyly as he walked up to the counter.
"I'd like to reserve a room for 2 or 3 in five days."
"Okay, since you are reserving for Christmas that will be a discount, and that comes out to only 1200 Beli."
Sanji grinned as he handed the money over and walked back outside while happily heading back into the town.
"I can't wait for Christmas so I can be with both Nami-san and Robin-chan!" Sanji cheered happily as he walked by someone who was looking through a shop window.
The person glanced at Sanji before chuckling lightly.
"Baka-Cook." Grandes said as he silently walked away from the store.
Sanji's next stop was at the book store, and he walked in to look for a book for Chopper.
He scanned the medicine books and grumbled as he looked at the books.
"Chopper probably has all of these." Sanji muttered as he sighed and continued to look.
"This holiday is hard…"
"It sure is, if you're stupid or something."
Sanji gritted his teeth angrily and was about to snap back at the person until he saw them and his eyes became hearts.
The person grimaced at him from beneath her straw hat with a green band around it, and she quickly scanned the shelves, and then walked away after pulling a book off a shelf.
Sanji looked back at the shelves and randomly picked a book, and went to the counter to pay for it so he could try to find her again.
Sanji looked up and down the street, but didn't see her as he walked around the town.
He then stopped in front of a café, noticed the cola machine near the counter.
"Franky can never have enough I guess…" Sanji muttered, and walked into the café to buy some cola.
Sanji walked over to the cola machine, and pulled out three bottles, and as he turned around, someone called over to him.
"Happy Holidays, "Shadow Legs" Sanji."
Sanji looked over to see someone leaning back in his chair as he gazed out the window.
'How the hell did he see me!?' "Who are you?"
"Your poster is quite bad. You must have had a bad hair day again."
The person started to laugh as Sanji fumed angrily at him.
The person suddenly stopped laughing, and grinned as he glanced back at Sanji.
"Didn't your mother ever teach you that staring is rude?"
"Didn't yours ever teach you to answer people's questions?"
The person chuckled a little, and then stood up as he continued to look at Sanji.
"I would love to kick you around a little, but I need to go check on an idiot." He said, and walked out of the café as Sanji glared after him. "Punk."
Sanji carried the bottles in a small bag that he carried as he looked around more with the book in his other hand.
He stopped at the hunting store, and walked in to see the cashier polishing another flintlock.
The cashier grinned as he glanced at Sanji and stopped polishing the flintlock.
"Can I help you?"
"Do you have any caltrops?"
"Sure do. Do you want 10, 50, 100, or 500?"
"50 sounds good."
"It's your funeral." The cashier muttered as he pulled out a metal box, and handed it to Sanji.
"13000."
"What?"
"13000 Beli for that box."
"NANI!?" Sanji stared at the cashier in surprise as the cashier stared back plainly.
"Come on, pay up." Sanji grumbled as he pulled out his wallet and handed the money with a scowl.
The cashier grinned as he put the money away, and Sanji walked out of the store quickly.
Later in the day, Sanji walked out of a toy store with a small grey fake brain as he chuckled.
"Marimo could use this."
Sanji put the fake brain away, and then walked across the street to the meat store.
"I can't think of anything else Luffy would want." Sanji said to himself as he opened the door, and the cashier sighed as he used the pulley to drag a large piece of meat out.
"3000 Beli, please."
"How'd you know I was going to ask that!?"
"… Lucky, I suppose?" The cashier sarcastically said, and Sanji handed the last of his money over at dragged the meat out of the store.
The cashier groaned as he pushed his wheelchair over to the counter and leaned against the counter as he panted heavily.
"I need a new job…"
Sanji entered the hotel, and quickly looked around as he walked toward the kitchen with the meat.
The staff held the meat with the others, which were unknown to Sanji, and Sanji walked over to where the rest of the crew were.
Sanji instantly noticed something as he walked up to them. "Where's Nami-san and Luffy?"
Franky shrugged as he continued to play cards with Chopper and Usopp.
Sanji looked around again, and his eye started to twitch. "Where's Robin-chan and Marimo…?!"
All three card players shook their heads as they continued to play without looking over at Sanji.
"Nami did say that she and Luffy would be doing something tonight alone."
"Yeah, and Robin said she wanted to go somewhere, and since you were gone, Zoro went instead."
Sanji's mouth hung in the air as he gasped at the three.
"HOW THE HELL CAN YOU BE SO CALM ABOUT THAT!?"
"It's usual."
"Usual!? That Monkey and Marimo have stolen my two girls!"
"Correct me if I'm wrong, but we said that Nami and Robin said that they wanted those two to be with them."
"Yep, that's right."
"Uh huh."
"NO!" Sanji went back into denial as he moped around while people watched him nervously.
Chopper, Franky, and Usopp snickered at him as they continued to play, and a little bit later, Sanji joined in to forget about that denial that just happened.
Outside, in the park, Nami and Luffy were sitting on a bench as they looked out at the frozen pond.
Nami was leaning against Luffy's shoulder, and he had one arm around her as they smiled calmly.
Behind a tree, Grandes smirked as he continued to spy on the two.
"Where the hell are we going?"
"You'll see."
Zoro grumbled as he and Robin walked down the street, and Robin suddenly stopped, which caused Zoro to stop.
"Here we are." Robin said as she motioned her hand toward the house nearby.
Zoro stared at it with a hint of boredom, and he looked at Robin.
"So? What's the big deal?"
"Wait a moment." Zoro grimaced as he looked away and grumbled something until he perked up.
Soft music could be heard coming from inside the house, and the two listened in as the music continued to play.
"Is this why you wanted to come?"
"Un."
"Uh, why?"
"It's quite lovely, isn't it?"
"I suppose so…" The two quieted down when the music ended, and then a new piece of music could be heard.
Zoro looked back at Robin, and crossed his arms over his chest as he sighed.
"Why are you so interested in the music?"
"The little girl who's playing."
"What about it?" Robin's smile disappeared as she looked at the window and sighed sadly.
"Sometimes these happy times aren't always what they seem." Robin said, and Zoro raised an eyebrow in confusion, but stopped when Robin looked over at him, and said. "We should be getting back now. We don't want a certain someone to see us."
"Okay…" Zoro watched Robin walk by, and then he glanced over at the window.
"She never did answer my question, did she?"
There's Sanji (pitiful) shopping day.
Sanji: I hate your writing! Where's the SaNa or SaRo!?
There is none. U.U
Sanji: Nani!? Why not?!
Um... I don't know, maybe cause it's a ZoRo and LuNa fanfic?
Sanji: NO!
U.U; Anyway, see you all next chapter.
