"Hey Marimo! Have you seen that one fat enemy with bounty?" Sanji shouted and trying to kick enemies at the same time.

"No!" Zoro answered. They both knew it would be a problem if the enemy would just appear out of nowhere!

They got their answer when Sanji felt a powerful kick hitting his back. Shit!

Sanji couldn't breath again and he felt another kick, this time hitting his stomach. This isn't going so well ! He tried to keep his own in a fight but he was losing a big time. He had already had three strong hits and his old injuries hadn't healed completely yet. But he didn't want to lose a fight. Not like this.

Sanji started to fight back.

I have to win. I have to win and quickly! My body won't hold up for long.

He really tried to finish his enemy off but it was really hard to even dodge all the attacks.

Zoro noticed Sanji was having a hard time fighting his enemy. He saw Sanji gritting his teeth and sweating. Someone should help him before it would be too late or the cook would do something extremely stupid. He took a look around him while his enemy was cursing under his breaths. Luffy had also hard time fighting the devil fruit user. Apparently his ability caused trouble, but it would have been easier to encounter his attacks if they knew his powers. Last time they had lost conciousness after one slight touch so Luffy couldn't let his enemy touch him. Meaning he couldn't fight properly. Others had almost finished their enemies. Zoro saw Brook standing on the background with Usopp, who was holding his shoulder.

"BROOK!" Zoro yelled and when Brook looked at his direction, Zoro nodded to Sanji's direction.

"Leave it to me, Zoro-san!" Brook shouted and left Usopp there.

Brook was soon next to Sanji, who was trying to catch his breath.

"Sanji-san, are you okay?!" Brook asked after he had sliced the enemy once. He knew that wouldn't be enough to stop him but it was enough to slow him down.

"Yeah, I am fine, for now at least." Sanji admitted, "I know it isn't typical for me to ask for favours, but could you lend me a hand here?"

Brook looked kind of surprised - well, even though you can never be quite sure of his looks - but was also worried because it wasn't typical for Sanji to ask for help.

"Of course! Let me handle this guy - " He tried to say but was interrupted when Sanji fell on the ground.

"Sanji-san!" Brook shouted but decided to focus on the fight. He should beat this guy before he could help Sanji because he doubted their enemies would give him enough time to take Sanji away from the battlefield.

"Okay, I will handle you quickly if it is okay to you?" Brook asked and his enemy laughed.

"Me? Getting beaten up by skeleton? Don't make me laugh!" Brook felt insulted.

"JUST BECAUSE YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE MORE FLESH DOESN'T MEAN YOU COULD WIN ME!"

Luffy lost the devil fruit user for a while and the next moment his enemy was attacking their already unconciouss chef.

"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING!?" Luffy shouted when he saw his nakama being attacked. Zoro also noticed the situation and ended his fight quickly to help their chef.

"I WILL GET MY REVENGE! HE SPOILED IT ALL, IT'S ALL HIS FAULT THAT WE COULDN'T WIN BACK THEN!" the devil fruit user shouted angrily, "I WILL KILL HIM, I WILL KILL YOU ALL!" their enemy was getting really pissed off. He punched Sanji directly on his chest and the cook started to cough violently. His breathing was really ragged.

The enemy felt a thunder strike his back. Nami was standing behind him, using thunder tempo.

"GET AWAY FROM HIM!" Nami shouted desperately, tears flooding from her eyes. The enemy didn't hesitate to punch Nami, even though she was a lady, and Nami was sent flying.

"NAMI!" Luffy shouted and went to grab Nami before she would hit their mast.

Sanji heard Nami screaming trough his unconciousness. He heard her desperate voice and tears falling down.

Danm! I can't let a lady suffer because of me!

He tried to stand up, but it felt like he was unable to move.

No way! It can't end like this!

His whole body was hurting.

I am not a shitty punching bag!

He was getting really angry, frustfrated and desperate.

I HAVE TO MOVE!

Sanji stood up regardless of all the pain. He was going to fight even though he would have to use his forbidden move again. He knew it was going to hurt but he got to finish this. Everyone were too emotional to win this fight like this.

"What, are you still going to fight, Black leg?" the devil fruit user asked. Sanji spitted up some blood.

"Yeah", he said, putting it as simply as he could. He was not going to argue with an enemy or try to chat with him any longer than he had to.

"Hey, cook-" Zoro tried to shout but Sanji interrupted him.

"Zoro, your task is to keep everyone out of my way! I will finish him in two seconds! CHOPPER! I am sorry I couldn't keep my promise, but I promise I won't die!"

Zoro would have wanted to participate in the fight but decided to stay out of it. Luffy gritted his teeth and squeesed his hands in a fist. Chopper nodded but he really doubted if Sanji could really survive another fatal fight.

Sanji took a gesture and thought for a second. Where should he hit his enemy so that it would take only a one hit?

"What's wrong? Aren't you going to attack me?" the enemy said, trying to anger him, but Sanji kept calm. Everyone was looking at him.

Sanji took a deep breath.

Another.

Yet another.

"HELL SPRINT!"

He disappeared out of the sight and soon appeared behind his enemy's back. He was targetting his neck.

"TAKE THIS!" Sanji shouted and kicked the enemy with all he got. The enemy fell dead on the ground and they never got the chance to figure out his devil fruit powers.

They heard a shoft thud behind their backs and saw their chef fallen on the ground.

"SANJI!" Luffy and Chopper shouted and rushed next to Sanji. Everyone gathered around Sanji and looked at their chef who was visibly in pain. Chopper was really worried if Sanji stopped breathing again in front of everyone, but to his surprise Sanji was fully conciouss. He looked at Nami who was leaning to Luffy.

"Sorry, Nami-san..." Sanji whispered and coughed some blood.
"Try not to speak, fool!" Chopper shouted angrily. Sanji looked calmly at Chopper and the little doctor started to wonder what was his patient thinking.

"Hey, Chopper...did you know...I have been thinking...our crew has been umbelievable lucky during our adventures...*cough*...it feels like it has been a pure miracle...that our crew... has survived this long...but why...why are we still alive, Chopper?"

"Did he hit his head? He has got some really deep thoughts." Zoro joked and tried to lighten up the atmosphere. Sanji just stared at Zoro.

"Well, I guess a plant like you...*cough* isn't able to think deeply?" Sanji insulted.

"What was that?!" Zoro shouted but wasn't really feeling insulted. He felt only happy that their chef was joking and insulting as usual even though he had some serious injuries.

"But did you know...our crew is full of fools...and fools won't die." Sanji said and started to laugh but ended up coughing. Chopper was fussing around him but Sanji tried to convince him their chef wasn't going to die anytime soon.

...

One week after their fight Sanji was back to his work as their chef. Everyone was keeping an eye on their chef to make sure he wouldn't push himself too far. But Sanji knew his limits and didn't want his nakama to worry so he spend a lot of time resting and planning new recipes.

Chopper was surprised to see Sanji getting better so soon again. He though his injuries would take a lot of time to heal, but he was wrong.

"Maybe you have become a better doctor?" Sanji suggested and Chopper tried to hide his feeling of happiness and embarrasment. Chopper wasn't really good at reacting to compliments and everyone knew that expect the little doctor himself.

Sanji was preparing some dinner as usual when Zoro walked into the kitchen.

"Did you come to steal my precious sake again?" Sanji asked. He was really getting tired of trying to protect their food and drink supplies.

"Actually no", Zoro answered to Sanji's surprise even though he doubted if Zoro was being honest with him," I just came to see if there was anything I could do to help you." Sanji almost dropped his knife hearing this.

"What?!" He asked, confused by the sudden consideration their swordman was showing.

"Yeah?" Zoro said with stupid grin on his face.

"Are you picking a fight with me?"

"Not excatly but if you are then I don't have any reason not to fight."

"So you are picking up a fight!"

"You are getting on my nerves, Ero-cook!"

"Same goes for you, Marimo-head!"

They stared at each other and just when Chopper rushed into the kitchen because he thought there would be a forbidden fight for Sanji, he was surprised to see both men smiling and soon laughing hard and trying to breathe.

"You guys, what is going on in here?" Chopper asked and couldn't believe his eyes. Soon everyone else rushed into the kitchen too and were rather surprised to see Sanji and Zoro laughing together.

"Really, these idiots!" Nami said and smiled. Robin just chuckled and gave Zoro and Sanji a knowing smile.
