Chapter 7

The food sizzles.

*~}{~*

"Sure no problem Ma'am," the bell boy nodded, and another man came into the room and grabbed Sanji from behind.

"Shit," Sanji cursed….

****

"Shit is right little lady," the bell boy grinned, removing his little red jacket, and throwing it onto the bed. He stared at Sanji with a wicked smile, and stepped over to the blond, a long finger touching the cook's cheek gently. "You really are a-" SMACK!! Sanji brought a leg up, and kicked the bell boy in the jaw, knocking him backwards.

"Don't underestimate a woman," Sanji said coldly, stomping on the other man's foot. As the other man cried from pain, Sanji elbowed him in the gut and backed away, sending a kick into his nose. He watched as the man fell onto his back, and grinned. "Self defiance classes…, bitch!"

"Oh yeah?" The bell boy said, getting up holding his bruised jaw. He charged forward only to be stopped by a foot as Sanji once again kicked him in the face. The cook then pushed him out the door as he started to stumble over. Once out the door, Sanji slammed it shut.

"Shitty, bastards," he said and turned to his food. He smiled seeing it was what he ordered and not a fake tray. Happy, he sat down on the bed and started eating.

*~}{~*

An hour later Zoro walked on down the hall way toward his hotel room, and blinked seeing the two men knocked out. He tilted his head and knew only Sanji could have done it. Sighing, he took out the extra card key and went on inside to find the cook fast asleep on the bed. He was lying on his back, one leg dangling off the bed the other laying out straight; one hand resting on his chest, and the wig still resting on his head. Zoro chuckled. The cook looked too cute laying there.

Slowly he made his way into the room, closing the door behind him. He sat down the food he brought for Sanji on the small night stand, and crossed the room to the bathroom. Sanji stirred when he heard the bathroom door close, and rubbed his eyes. Seeing the food container he knew it was all right, and turned over.

Zoro emerged from the bathroom a few minutes later, drying his hair from a towel and dressed in sweat pants. He glanced at the cook once again and shook his head. Getting on the bed, he slowly leaned forward and kissed the blonds forehead, smiling.

Sanji blinked his eyes open and stared at Zoro. "What?"

Zoro sat up on his knees and frowned at the cook. "What happened?"

Sanji sat up and yawned, stretching he brought a hand to his head and tossed the wig to the side. He glanced at Zoro and shrugged. "Two guys wanted a piece of me, so I have em some."

Zoro shook his head, and sat back. "Oh, well they are still knocked out in front of our door."

A soft chuckle escaped Sanji's throat as he reached over for a cigarette and brought it to his lips. "Nice. And all I did was a woman's defense…, with a miner change."

"What was that?"

"I kicked him in the nose, instead of punching. I wasn't about to hurt my hands. Though, I did use an elbow."

"You do sometimes, don't you?"

Sanji shook his head. "Not really, no. Occasionally when I am play fighting, or jabbing someone for quick attention, but not ever in fights; never had to before."

Zoro nodded, handing Sanji his lighter and sighed. "Men should never underestimate a woman."

Sanji nodded. "No they shouldn't. And the ones that do end up like…, well them," he said nodding his head toward the door.

Zoro chuckled. "Yeah…, um I brought you some raman if you want it. It was real good, so I thought you might want to try it."

Sanji smiles and glances at the container, "I guess I could," he said, feeling the bottom of it. "And it's still hot."

Zoro nodded. "Yeah, it's fresh."

"Thanks," the cook said, grabbing the chopsticks and trying some of the beef flavored noodles. "Mmm, it is good, very rich in flavor."

"You're welcome. So what did you do, just eat and sleep?"

Sanji grinned. "Hey, I am on vacation. I am a loud to just eat and sleep. It feels good to be off my feet for almost a whole day."

Zoro smiled and laid back into the bed. "Whatever, eat your noodles cook, I'm taking a nap."

Sanji shrugged and did just that. When finished he cleaned up his mess and pushed the food cart out into the hallway. Closing the door Sanji stared at the swordsman was he slept on the bed. He grinned and threw his wig to the floor and crawled into the bed next to him. He draped a long arm over Zoro's brad chest and nuzzled into his neck.

Zoro's snores turned into grunts and his eyes flicked open. He stared down at the cook who was spiraled all around him. "Oi," he grunted, nudging Sanji's arm. "What the hell are you doing?"

"Sleeping," was the reply.

"Cha yeah on me."

"So?"

"So, least night you didn't even want to, and now you suddenly are?"

Sanji shrugged and lift his head, glaring at the swordsman. "Yeah and? Whats the problem you don't want me to? Fine," Sanji said, and turned around and away from the swordsman.

Zoro rolled his eyes and turned so he was facing Sanji. "I didn't mean that, I was just wondering why," he said running a hand up Sanji's side.

"Yeah, yeah sure," the cook said, turning back around so he was facing Zoro. Their eye's met and Sanji smiled.

"Your worse than a girl, cook. Your mood swings turn faster than I can blink."

Sanji's smile quickly disappeared. "You always have to ruin a moment, huh?"

Zoro chuckled. "Yeah, I guess. Are you really going to sleep some more? I mean its only late afternoon, Sanji."

Sanji frowned and turned to his back. "Maybe I will watch TV…, there is nothing else to do, and I mean I am not dressing in that stupid thing again."

Zoro laughed, wrapping an arm around Sanji's waist, laying a head by the cook's neck. "You're the one who listened to her."

"Yeah well…, I had to."

Zoro shook his head. "Sanji, if you listened to every girl you passed by or met; you would never make it to the All Blue. That's why I make fun and say shit to you when you go into that crazy state of yours," he put a hand up to stop Sanji from saying anything. "Now listen, I know you think you have to dote on them hand and foot because they are the fairer sex, but you don't. It wouldn't be fair. If we did have to, we'd be slaves. Just because woman are frailer doesn't mean they can't do things for themselves or are stronger than us. Not all women like to be served hand and foot. Some find it insulting."

Sanji frowned, and sighed. "Yeah, I guess so. I guess I can't help it sometimes."

Zoro smiled and kissed his cheek. "No, you can't but that's okay. You wouldn't be the idiot you are if you could."

"Oi," Sanji frowned and turned his head to face Zoro. He was met with soft lips to his. He was shocked at first, but eased into the kiss, wrapping his arms around Zoro, and turning fully into a more comfortable position.

Zoro ended the kiss with a smile, running soft fingers against Sanji's cheek. He sighed happily, and turned to his back, taking Sanji with him and letting the cook rest his head against his shoulder. "This doesn't change a thing cook; I'm still going to taunt ya."

Sanji laughed. "I wouldn't have it any other way, shitty swordsman."

*~}{~*

The fallowing day Zoro and Sanji were out shopping for food. Tonight they were going to depart, midnight the log post would be set and they were going to be free to go, after they broke into city hall to steal the city's treasure.

Nami had everything planned out. In the morning, Zoro and Sanji would do the shopping. They would meet back at the hotel and they all would go for lunch. Everything would seem fine and normal afterward then later that night around eleven everything was going to go into action.

Usopp and Robin were to disguise themselves as kidnapers and take Sanji and Nami. Luffy and Zoro would try to fight them off but would fail, losing both Sanji and Nami to the kidnappers. The 'kidnappers' would take the two women as hostages and brake into the courthouse where the treasure is supposed to be. From there on the four in the building would grab the treasure while the two outside would make a distraction.

It was a perfect plan and Nami had it bullet proof. She explained it to Luffy five times and had Luffy explain it back to her until he got it right. Nami also constructed Sanji, that after lunch he was to lead Zoro to the court house and back as many times as it took until the swordsman got there on his own without getting lost more than five times.

Everyone had thought that was a good idea.

So there they were, Sanji and Zoro doing the first part of the routine and shopping for food. After that they were to drop everything off at the ship and head straight back to the hotel. From there, they were to go to lunch with the crew and then go for a walk. Right now Nami was working with Usopp and making new costumes for both Robin and Usopp. Usopp was also getting a pair of Sanji's cloths together to take with him when they 'kidnapped' him and Nami. Nami had said it was a good idea, for Sanji was going to need his shoes in case there was going to be fighting.

"Oi, how much more do we need cook?" Zoro asked as he was handed another bag of food.

Sanji glanced at him and frowned. "Not much more, sweetie. You know brother-kun likes to eat his meat," Sanji said in his girly voice as he looked over some apples. The older woman at the stand was smiling at them and listing.

Zoro grunted. "Okay," he said, sighing. He would never admit it, but for some reason he liked it when Sanji called him that, even though he was only doing it to keep up the act.

Once Sanji got a barrel of apples he placed it into the shopping cart he had. That was also full. "Um…, let's see, I got meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, flower, sugar, salt, chocolate, vanilla, custard, cream, milk, coffee beans, tea leafs, and peanuts. Do you think we need anything else? I think I have everything. So we can drop this back off at the ship if you want."

"Good, and about time," he said and started to walk in the wrong direction. Sanji puffed his cheeks and grabbed onto the back of Zoro's shirt.

"This way, dear," he chuckled, holding onto Zoro's arm and leading him toward the dock, while pushing the cart with his free hand.

Once the two got everything onto the ship and put away, they checked everything out. They had to make sure nothing has happened and that everything was normal. Seeing that it was, and after Sanji grabbed his shoes from Nami's room the two left, heading back toward the hotel.

"I'm kind of glad we are leaving tonight," Sanji said nonchalantly.

Zoro glanced at him from the side, "Why is that?"

"Bored I guess that and this town is too nice. I mean…, it's not normal to see people this nice."

Zoro chuckled. "Yeah, I guess I see what you mean," he smiled at the cook. Things then got quiet after that until Zoro spoke again. "Hey, Sanji."

"Hmm yea?" Sanji turned his head, glancing at his boyfriend.

"After you find the All Blue, what are you going to do?"

Sanji frowned, never having to really think about that. Hr had always wanted to find it, just to prove that it was real. Just to show himself that dreams do come true. Sighing he shrugged. "I guess there are a few things. I mean for one, I want to mark it down so I can always go back. The All Blue is a sea of dreams and it isn't meant for a bunch of people to know about it, or know where it is. So I don't want to drag about it when I do find it."

Zoro nodded and listened as Sanji spoke. He only ever seen Sanji look so excited about something and that was when cooking. And know he kind of seen why.

"I mean, I think when I am old I want to die in that sea, and let it die with me. When I find it, I just want to be the one man to say "yes the All Blue is a real ocean and I have seen it with my own eye. I don't want to be that one person who goes "I have found the legendary Ocean and here it is, and ruin it. It's meant to be a secret and a place only true cooks can find. So maybe after I find it and if Luffy isn't King yet I will continue on with our journey, if Luffy is King, then I want to settle down, and build a restaurant of my own. Maybe start some sort of family," he sighed and smiled at the thought, then glanced at Zoro. "Or live the rest of my life as a pirate. It all depends. What about you? What will you do when you defeat MiHawk?"

"Um, well I promised Luffy I would stick with him and help make him King of The Pirates. And that is what I attend to do. If Luffy continues to travel and adventure I may go with him. Or maybe I will start my own journey. Not sure wither, hell even settling down and doing what I want to do wouldn't be so bad either. I kind of want to one day start a kendo dojo. Like the one I grew up in. But without stairs."

Sanji smiled. "That sounds good, though, I have a feeling we have a long way to go before then, huh?"

Zoro shrugs. "Perhaps, you never know. We can fight MiHawk, find All Blue reach the end of the world, become a fierce and brave pirate and find the one Piece all in one week as far as we know. Legend said: Gold Roger had hid his treasure somewhere on the grand line; well we are on the grand line so it could be anywhere. It doesn't have to be at the end."

Sanji chuckled. "You know you are right. Though I have a feeling the All Blue is somewhere deeper in the Grand Line. If Luffy finds the One Piece before I find All Blue I'm going to continue my own adventure to find my dream."

Zoro snaked an arm around Sanji's waist and pulled him close. "Same here Cook. If that happens, we can work together."

"Good idea."

*****

Later that night, everyone was scattered about in Nami's and Robin's room. Sanji was folding his cloths, and placing them neatly in Usopp's bag, while Zoro was strapping his two swords and green sash to Usopp's back. Both men making sure everything was secure.

"There, that isn't too heavy for you, is it Usopp?" Zoro asked once he was finished.

Usopp stood up. "No, but why didn't you let Robin hold one?"

"Luffy's orders," Zoro said with a shrug.

Robin smiled. "Yes, Captain-san said it would be best, to continue to pretend to be someone were not. You are a swordsman kidnapper and I am a gunman kidnaper. We are both working for mysteries agents."

Sanji snickered. "Sounds like Luffy. And what does he want with us beautiful 'Ladies'"

Robin's smile grew. "Too cook lots of meat, what else? He also said we are from the great meat island."

Sanji laughed and shook his head. "Well, glad he's having fun. I still don't like the idea of me being a damsel in distress."

Usopp grinned. "Don't worry Sanji, your Night and Shinny armor will be 'saving' you afterward."

Sanji glared, and if only Usopp knew how true that was. "Oi, you want a beaten? Or would you rather wear the dress?"

"The dress won't fit him Sanji. It will be too long, and slightly big around the waist," Nami said with a smile, standing behind the blond hands on hips.

Sanji turned on his heels, a pout on his face. "Na~mi-Swa~nn! Are you saying he is thinner than I am?" he cried.

Nami laughed and placed her hands on Sanji's hips to Zoro displeasure. The cook's eyes turning into large hearts. "It's not that he is thinner, it's just you have wider hips. But that is because of the muscle," she said and let go. "It's like a woman's hips but in a good kind of sexy way."

Sanji twirled on his toes giggling. "Nami-Swan thinks I'm sexy!"

Zoro frowned and shook his head. "Sexy like a woman, you mean," he grinned.

Sanji stopped in mid twirl and glared at Zoro. "You calling me a woman?"

"If the shoe fits," Zoro's grin grew wider.

Just as Sanji was about to kick Zoro in the head, Nami walked in-between the two of them. "Not now. It's all most time to get going. Luffy, are you almost ready?"

Luffy walked out of the bathroom, stuffing a large piece of meat in his pants pocket. "Yeah, I am almost ready!"

Nami slapped her forehead. "You're an idiot. Okay, Zoro and Sanji go back to your room and wait. In a few minutes Usopp, Robin and I will show up then followed by Luffy. Sanji remember to try and scream like a girl."

"He does that anyway," Zoro mumbled, grinning.

"What was that, Marimo?"

"I forgot."

****

A large commotion was going in room 202 AB. Sanji and Nami were screaming; Zoro and Luffy were trashing the place. The bed was flipped over, the nightstand was thrown against the wall, the bathroom door was smashed, and some cloths were ripped and torn. The place was a mess. Zoro had cut a part of his hand to sprinkle blood on part of the floor, and Luffy punched himself in the face to leave a burse. Both men looked pretty beaten up between fighting each other and making a mess.

Luffy was really enjoying himself as he made a whole in the wall with his foot. "This is great! I wish we could do this all the time!"

Robin smiled and shot a whole in the roof several times, while two hands bloomed on the window opening it. She then grabbed Nami by the wrist and the two disappeared through the window.

Usopp and Sanji were next. Sanji draped an arm around Usopp's shoulder and the two jumped out of the window. They would have continued to fall if it weren't for Robin's hands grabbing Usopp and pulling him into a tree.

"GET BACK HERE!" Zoro screamed on the top of his lungs.

The owner of the hotel and his wife ran into the room. Both startled when they seen the room. The wife ran over to Luffy who was pretending to be knocked out, he was bleeding in the shoulder (thanks to Zoro who left a nice looking cut there.) "Uh… No…uhhh." Luffy moaned. Zoro had to hold back a laugh.

"What on earth happened here?" The owner asked, touching Zoro's shoulder gently.

"Two men came in and took my wife and her sister. I have to go after them!" Zoro said, grabbing his wadou and running out of the room without another word.

"Wait! Wait for me!" Luffy called after him, shaking his head and pulling away from the wife's grasp.

Just as Luffy and Zoro left Chopper had walked in: the little reindeer having been gone all day helping the doctors in the hospital in his human form. "Oh! My gosh, what on earth happened here!?" he said not even realizing that he was in his normal state.

Both the owner and his wife looked at Chopper with wide eyes. Wondering how the raccoon was speaking, and why did he look so much like the one couples little baby.

*~}{~*

Nami watched as the last guard fell to the floor thanks to Robin. Everything so far was going smoothly just as planned. "All right! Now, Sanji go ahead and change. We need to find our way to the mayor's office and if we need to brake in by force you will be our man."

Sanji's eye light up in a large heart shape. "Right away my darling!" he'd sing, and turns to Usopp. "Cloths, long nose."

Usopp smiled and took off his bag, taking out a black suit and a pair of shoes for Sanji. "Okay, so when do we meet up with Zoro, Luffy, and Chopper?"

Nami and Sanji froze, looked at one another then back to Usopp. "Ch-Chopper?"

Usopp blinked. "Yeah, since we are all in here, Chopper, Luffy, and Zoro are outside right?"

Robin frowned. "I believe Long-nose-Kun that, that is incorrect. Doctor-san was not with us at all today therefore has no idea what is going on."

Nami slapped her face, and whitened. "OH That Idiot! I told him today was the day we were going to steal the treasure!"

Robin frowned. "Yes, and I believe you did forget to include Chopper into our plan."

Nami groaned. "Hopefully if we are lucky, Zoro and Luffy had found him before they left the hotel. We still may have a chance, and if we hurry. Sanji-kun! Hurry up and change already!"

"Yes my darling!"

****

"Hey Zoro, so like when this is all over we have to get Chopper and leave right?"

Zoro blinked and turned to glance at his captain as the two ran down the street. "Chopper, is waiting at the mayors place isn't he?"

Luffy blinked. "I don't know I haven't seen him since this morning!"

Zoro sighed. "Ah this isn't good."

*~}{~*

Chopper gulped as he stared at the group of people standing around him. All of them looking angry and asking him a bunch of questions.

"Who are you?"

"Who are you working for?"

"Are you the robbers who kidnapped those innocent people?"

"Where were they going to take them?"

Oh no, where is everyone? Why did Luffy and Zoro run off like that? Are the others in trouble? Why am I left alone! Chopper thought to himself, hands on his face, frightened. He then blinked. Oh don't tell me this is their plan to steal the treasure! Oh I hope not! I'm not good at this, what should I do?

TBC

Authors Note: Poor Chopper, what is he going to do? Yes, I know another cliff hanger, but I just love them! :)

I'll try and have the next chapter up before or after Christmas. I want to try and do it by Christmas which will be my Christmas present for all of you. If I don't get it up on time then:
