Midnight had approach and all the racket from the event was coming to an end, as Nami and Zoro watched from different parts of the Brothel, as the guest where leaving. They didn't want to think about what was going on with their friend as he was sold for $600,000 beri. Not only that, but the highest bidder wanted him for the next few days which things couldn't possibly get any worse, as their first plan to get Sanji to buy him got him ruined. Nobody was allowed to come bothered them either as his room was off limits to anybody which made going to check up on him even harder.
When everybody left and most of the workers went to rest for the night, Zoro and Nami came together in the usual place, more like their secret hideout. A place hidden in the forest in the back out the house where nobody would rarely check. Nami gave the cook this location as well, just in case, something went wrong. And as promise he came to the hideout.
"Sanji-kun!" Name called.
"What took you so long, you idiot prince! Were you smoking the night away while you're plan was soiled? Our friend could be dying right now."
"Zoro! Calm down." Nami ran up to touch his shoulders with her hands.
"I know that this friend means a lot to you. But you need to get a hold of yourself." Sanji lit of cigarette not paying no mind to the samurai's outburst. "That's why…I brought some help with me."
"Yeah?! And how is one person going to he-" Zoro watch as Sanji step away to let the person come through the forest. He seem a bit younger than the rest of them. He carried a piece a meat in with his right hand as she took a bite of it, with a grin on his face.
"It can't be?" Zoro stared.
"No way!" Nami covered her hands in shocked. Sanji took a another smoke and made a slight grin
"Hey!" The boy with a red shirt called to them.
"LUFFY!" Zoro and Nami shouted a bit loud towards their old friend, Nami ran up to him and cried as she gave him a gentle embrace.
"But why? How did you?" Zoro stared at the cook.
"He came by to visit me. We met a long time ago. He also heard about this island and the problems about the Brothel House, along with somebody who need help with the letters from the island, so that why he's here.
"I'm also looking for crewmates for my journey." The rubber man grinned.
"Luffy. We missed you so much!" Nami cried. Luffy didn't say anything but just continue to grin toward his returning friends.
"Well if Luffy was here, why didn't you come meet us sooner?" Zoro asked.
"I didn't know he knew you guys." Sanji explained. "I only found out just recently when I asked him for our help in this operation. Isn't that right Luffy?" Sanji gave his friend a little kick to the boy face.
"Yeah. Sorry about that." Luffy didn't sound to apologetic about it, but the other didn't seem to mind.
Nami finally let go of her old friend as he walked towards the both stared at each other intensely but smile as they gave each other the old fashion fist bump.
"Long time no see, Zoro."
"You too as well, Captain."
"Well it's for the teary reunion but let's get to the topic at hand." Sanji brought the situation back to the realitly. The three of them nodded as the all sat down in the grass and thought of a plan.
"So what's the plan?" Luffy asked.
"How is the situation, Nami-swan?" Sanji looked at her and took another smoke.
"Well after you got kick out, Usopp went towards the higest bidder of $600,000 beri."
"Wait! Usopp is here? Where! Where!" Luffy wondered looking around for his old friend.
"You mean you don't know?"Nami asked as shock. They knew that Luffy isn't very good at coming up with plans nor was he the type to really listen to anything important. So she had to explain to him the events of what's going on.
"I heard from Sanji that you two were trying to help a friend. He didn't tell me that it was Usopp." Luffy took another bit of his meat.
"Now you get it?" Nami sighed.
"I do." The rubber man stood up and put his fist together along with a serious expression. "We got to save Usopp."
"That's what we are trying to do. Idiot." Nami slapped him on the head.
"Anyway back to the plan." Zoro continued.
"How is armadillo?" Sanji asked.
"We don't know. After he was taken away, they wouldn't allow any of us to see what is going on, nor are we allow to visit him either."
"Do you know where they could be putting him?"
"I believe they trapped him in his room." Zoro explained.
"Do you know where it is?"
"Yeah it upstairs, where they keep an eye on him so he doesn't do anything stupid."
"I see." Sanji spoke out loud about the situation. "Are there any guards on duty tonight?"
"Yeah. The usual. To make sure nobody tries to escape or steal from Brothel." Nami replied.
"Do you know where the guards usually stand by, Moss head?"
"Yeah. And stop calling me moss head, already." The samurai spoke in irritation.
"Good." Sanji ignored him. "Luffy. You back up this man, if he need help ok."
"Huh?"
"Alright! You got it, Sanji!" Luffy sounded excited as he wrapped his left arm around his friend. "Can't wait to work with you, Zoro!"
"Keep it down, idiot." Nami shush him.
"Nami. You keep watch outside to see if anybody comes through here alright."
"Right. You can count on me." Nami nodded.
"Moss head. Luffy you two will keep an eye on things inside and alarm me, if anything goes wrong. I'm trusting Moss head since he does work here. Luffy you will have his back I anything goes wrong. You basically will be our backup if things get ugly. And if anything goes wrong, give us a signal."
"What kind of signal?" Zoro asked. Nami pointed at object that was in his pocket. "How about your Bird call that Usopp made for you."
"Aww. Why do you I have be backup, Sanji?"
"Because, knowing you. You'll probably just charge in and cause a big commotion which is what we don't need."
"And what are you going to do, Sanji-kun?" Nami asked.
"I'll be one sneaking in and getting him out of course."
"What? Shouldn't that be a job for Zoro since he's of higher ranked there? He could get through no problem." Nami spoke in concern as she looked into the blonde's eyes.
"No. Because we need someone to watch the guard and Moss head is only ones that knows where they will be." Sanji shook his head.
"But…"
"Don't worry about it, Nami-swan. I got it. And beside." Sanji put of his cigarette as he put his hands in his pockets and stood up from his seat. "I was the one who said I would save him. I won't break that promise that I made to help you."
The three looked at him as the blonde expression, became somewhat sincere and honest. For some reason, the samurai had gotten a little more respect out of the blonde, even it if was just a little bit.
"Right!" Luffy smiled. "Let's get our friend back!"
"YEAH!" The gang shouted, as it was time to get to work, on the second plan that was set into motion.
Author's Note:
Another Day. Another chapter. Hope you guys are enjoying the story as much as I did writing it. Luffy is back, my favorite Straw hat pirate along with Usopp. I've read some of your reviews and I noticed that one has requested me to make Zoro and Nami a couple as well. I honestly can't say that I'd had that plan due to the fact that this story was only for the purpose for the Sanji X Usopp fans. Zoro is a big teddy bear though despite his seriousness and a top favorite among many, along with the others. But many down the line I might just make a chapter for the two. But just keep that in mind as you continue to read this story.
