Chapter 9
Sanji lit a cigarette as he watch Kabuto walk away from them.
"Sanji ." Chopper called when the three pirates they were talking to disappeared from their sight.
"Don't worry Chopper I won't leave you guys. You are my family remember?" Sanji reassured Chopper he knew that the reindeer is worried.
"That's right! As long as we are with Sanji nothing bad will happen to him. We Chopper his brothers will help him." Lufyy said with a wide grin.
"Okay. You can count on me Sanji."
"Yes, count on us Sanji." Luffy mimicked Chopper.
Robin chuckled from their captains words. "Cook-san" Robin looked at the still standing Cook. "Are you done shopping yet?" Robin asks even though she already know the answer.
"No Robin-chan. These gluttons said they were hungry so I brought them here." He said as he puffed the smoke out of his lungs.
"I see. You can continue your shopping then while I will return to the book store. And you can go back to the ship without me."
"Are you sure Robin-chan?"
"Yes." Robin simply replies then she turned to face Luffy. "Captain I would like to stay at the book store. I will try to return before our gathering starts."
"Okay you may. But what will you do there?"
"I think I just figured out what's happening to Cook-san but I will need to read more information to make sure." Robin smiled at Sanji.
The cigarette almost fell out of Sanji's mouth for two reasons. First is because Robin gave her a very visible smile that is very rarely seen. The second is what the Historian said. She……figured it out? We might be able to stop what's happening to me?
"Robin-chan! I'm very lucky to have you by my side! You are my angel here in my hell! Thank you Robin-chan." Hurts flutter around Sanji. His eyes turned into hearts while his legs are moving in an incredible speed making it like a small tornado.
"It's nothing Cook-san and I promised that I will do this."
"That's amazing Robin. If we discovered the reason for Sanji's condition, we might be able to figure out how to stop and cure it." Chopper said as he hugged Robin on her right leg.
"Then I will take my leave now Captain."
"Good job Robin. Be careful."
After Robin got the permission from Luffy and after she put Chopper off her leg she made her way back to the book store.
"Bye Robin-chan! I will make a special meal just for you." Sanji said while waving wildly with both his hands.
"That's unfair Sanji! Make me a special meal too." Luffy complained.
Sanji stopped from waving and he then faced his Captain. "Yes Captain." He then noticed Chopper looking expectantly a him. "You too Chopper. I'll make the three of you special meals." Sanji said with an honest smile.
"Yes! Special Meal! Special Meal! Special Meal!" Luffy and Chopper chanted repeatedly.
Everything is going to be fine. Sanji thought as he crushed the butt of his cigarette with his shoe.
----T_T----
With a little less trouble Sanji finished his shopping with Luffy and Chopper an hour before the sun sets. They are now on the deck of the Sunny carrying the shopping bags full of food supply.
"Were back!" Luffy announced.
"Welcome back Luffy, Sanji, Choppa!" Usopp waved from the crows nest. "Where is Robin?" The sniper asks as he noticed the absence of the Historian.
"She said she figured out how to..o…" A and grabbed Luffy's mouth and that hand belongs to Sanji.
"Don't tell idiot."
"Sorry." Luffy apologized.
Sanji was about to answer Usopps question when Chopper spoke.
"She's still at the library. I asked her to look and buy some books for me. But she told us to go back ahead here to stock the food."
Nice going Chopper. Sanji winked at the reindeer when it looked at him. Chopper replied with a smile.
"Why did you leave her alone?" A grumpy voice asked. It was Zoro he just came out off the aquarium bar.
None of the three answered, they still don't want to talk to the Swordsman.
"Oi. I'm asking you a question." Zoro walked towards the trio.
"Oi. Oi. Zoro. Don't pick a fight on them that's why they're ignoring you." Usopp shouted from the crows nest.
"Shut up!" Zoro yelled at Usopp. "You idiots! Someone had been watching us! What if someone attacked her?" He asked angrily at the three.
His worried of her? … …… of course she's a nakama. Sanji is jealous. He is jealous on how worried Zoro is for Robin. He is jealous of what feelings Zoro held for the Historian. I wonder if it was me who was left alone. Would he would be this worried?
"Shut up Zoro! We know!" Luffy spoked at the same tone. "Are you questioning my decisions?"
Zoro paused for a few seconds. "Shit!" He cursed and then he walked away.
----T_T----
Sanji started preparing the foods for the feast after they asked Usopp why Zoro is the only one else in the ship. The sniper said that Zoro did not explain why he is alone when he retuned, but his guess is that the Swordsman got lost and accidentally ended back at the ship. He really is an idiot.
I should make this feast the most special. Sanji thought while cooking. This will serve as my birthday party and farewell party if things did not work out well. He did not tell Luffy and the other two about that part of his plan. He knew the captain will insist for him to stay even if the other crew members don't accept him. But he is afraid to live with people who are afraid and disgusted of him, he just won't be able to take it.
By the time he's about to finished cooking he heard Nami and the other's arrival. He heard how Nami lectured Zoro once she discovered that the Swordsman is already back at the ship.
"Knock knock."
"Enter." Sanji said when he heard the knock. He then heard the door opening and a funny sound of foot steps.
"Sanji." A little voice called his name.
"What is it Chopper?" He asks without looking at the reindeer he is busy making the finishing tasks to his work.
"Robin is still not back I'm worried."
Sanji stopped from what he was doing and turned around. He bent his knees so his face is at the same level as Chopper's. "Don't worry Chopper." He said as he put his hand on top of Chopper's hat. "Don't you trust Robin-chan?"
"I do but… … what if Zoro what said is right and she was attacked by those pirates?"
Sanji rembered what happened that afternoon. They met a man named Kabuto who said he is the Captain of the Devil's Child Pirates. That man is like me. He should be dangerous. But from what it seems he's confident that I will go to him even without trying, so I don't think he will do anything to Robin-chan. But I can never be sure. "Chopper we will go look for her if she did not returned before the feast starts. Okay?"
"Okay."
"Don't worry Chopper. If someone hurts our nakama I'm sure everyone will do everything to get revenge." He said trying to reassure the reindeer.
"Yes, your right." Chopper smiled. "Then I won't disturb you any more." With that Chopper left Sanji alone.
"I hope nothing happened to you Robin-chan." He whispered.
----T_T----
Sanji had finished Cooking and setting the table. Everyone is already inside the dining room except for one. And that is Robin.
Everyone in the room is starting to worry for robin's absence. No sound can be heard inside the room except for the sound of Luffy staring to eat without worry.
Should I tell them now? But Robin-chan is still not here.I can't wait any longer. Robin-chan already knows about this anyway. Sanji stood up from his seat. "Everyone, may I have your attention please? I have something to tell you guys.
"Should we start without Nico Robin?" Franky asks.
"No we should not. But I have something important to say even though I want everyone to be here this cannot wait. And Robin-chan already knows about this anyway." Sanji said.
"But what's taking her so long if she is just buying some books?" Usopp asks.
"Uhm. She said that she might be late if she found an interesting book and read it on the spot." Sanji lied.
"What a liar." Zoro spoke then he stood up. "If the thing you want to say is more important for you than looking for our missing nakama then I'm leaving to look for her." Zoro started to walk towards the door.
I'm worried for Robin-chan too, but she said I should trust her and I really have to say 'it' as soon as possible. Sanji watch as Zoro walks towards the door. He really cares for her. Sanji's body moved by itself and followed Zoro. He grabbed Zoro's left arm when the Swordsman is about to reach for the door knob.
"Wait. Listen to what I have to say first. Then we will search for her."
Zoro grabbed Sanji's wrist that is holding the Swordsman by the arm. Zoro gripped his wrist hard and twisted it partially for him to let go.
"Listen freak. I don't care of whatever you're going to say and I think I already know what it is about anyways HOMO-FREAK."
Everyone else watch as Zoro twist Sanji's arms even more. No one is sure what to do. Their two strongest crew members are fighting again but this time they knew it is something very serious. The only thing they can do is looked at their Captains eye wishing for him to take action.
"And did I not tell you to NEVER get close to me FREAK? You even touched me. This action only shows how much a selfish freak you are. Your NAKAMA is MISSING and you DON'T CARE because you want to tell the others that YOU ARE GAY?" Zoro said all of it with conviction while throwing daggers with his eye's to Sanji.
No! That's not what I wan't to say. And you're wronf I'm worried about Robin-chan as well. "Yes, I'm gay but there is something else I want to say!" Sanji retorted."
"Oh I see." Zoro smirk mockingly. "Do want to tell them the whole story on how you became a homo and how you deceived me buy crying every night just to get my attention?"
"Please listen to me!" Sanji pleaded with a teary eye.
"How selfish of you Sanji-kun." Nami spoke and stood up. "I will help you Zoro."
"I can't believe this Cook-bro. You disappointed me." Franky stood up as well.
"Sanji I can't believe you are a bigger liar than I am." Usopp said while looking on the ground.
"Sanji-san." It is the only thing Brook can say.
"What are you guys talking about? Listen to Sanji first!" Chopper defended Sanji with a teary eye himself.
"Chopper, why are you defending him?" Ussop asks.
"Because I …. I …"
"You don't have to defend me Chopper." Sanji said with a sad smile.
"Sanji."
"I'll go and look for Robin-chan now." Sanji walked out of the room without waiting for someone else to speak. He's heart is broken. Once he closed the door behind him tears started to flow out of his eyes. He really hates me and now the others hate me as well. Sanji runs towards the deck and then he felt the familiar pain in his head and it's rapidly growing. No! No! No!!!!!!!!!!
----T_T----
After Sanji left and closed the door Zoro made his move to open it again.
"Stop!" Luffy who said nothing since earlier had finally spoken.
Zoro ignored Luffy's order and opened the door.
"I said stop!" Luffy's fist hit's Zoro in the face sending the Swordsman flying to the counter.
"Luffy! What are you doing?" Nami shouted.
Luffy ignored Nami and looked at the crying Chopper. "Chopper follow Sanji and bring it with you." Luffy ordered Chopper. The 'it' that he was talking about are the cuffs. He knew that because of what happened they will definitely need it.
"Okay." Chopper jumped off his sit and took his pink backpack from a small table. The cuffs had always been there since they reached the island. Robin put it in there when they decided to separate. Chopper moved as fast as possible and left the room but not before he said what he was feeling. "I hate you guys! I can't believe you! I specially hate you Zoro! I hate you!"
Usopp tried to follow Chopper but he was stopped by a stretching arm blocking the door.
"Luffy! I said, what are you doing?" Nami repeated her question with a stronger voice.
Luffy then moved towards the door and blocked it with his whole body.
"Luffy get out of the way." Zoro said once he got up from the counter and walked towards Luffy.
"Zoro." Luffy said the Swordsman's name with serious eyes. "Everyone! I can't believe you are the nakama I've chosen. How dare you judge him without listening to everything he has to say?" Luffy shouted with his most angry voice.
"But Luffy! We need to search for Robin." Nami spoke once more. Somehow she became the spokesperson of everyone.
"Don't you guy's have trust in your nakama? She's the one who decided to stay behind and did not Sanji tell that we will search for Robin once he told us what he is about to say?"
Silence covered the room until a powerful crash was heard which shook the Sunny a little.
"Who's wrecking my ship?" Franky said.
Sanji? "I'm going to check it. No one is allowed to leave this room." Luffy said as he opened the door. "Captain's order." Luffy said before anyone could complain.
Once Luffy left the galley he saw a hole in the wall on the men's room. Then he saw Sanji looking at the hole while standing in the middle of the deck.
"Sanji! What happned?" Luffy asks as after jumped down to the deck.
Sanji turned around and looked at him. He immediately noticed the difference in Sanji. Sanji is giving out a very dangerous murdering aura. He immediately took a defensive position when Sanji started to walk towards him.
"Sorry Captain I'll have to kill you."
Sanji plunged towards him and made a kick to his ribs. He was surprised with the speed the Cook is exhibiting, he could not dodge but what surprised him even more is the pain he felt. It hurts! But I'm rubber. Could it be……he's using haki? He was sent flying and when he looked where Sanji was the Cook was no longer there. He then felt a kick connect on his back causing him to crash down to deck and created a hole.
"Luffy!" Luffy heard Chopper's call. He immediately jumped out of the hole back into the deck. There he saw Chopper standing at the hole in the wall, while Sanji is sitting at the railing with a cigarette in his mouth.
"My, my. My dear Captain would you care to fight me seriously? And you, Emergency Food supply you can help him if you want."
Luffy took the challenge and made his pose. "Gear Second." Smoke started to come out of Luffy's body after the pumping his body made.
"I'll help you Luffy." Chopper took out a yellow medicine and bit it. "Rumble."
Luffy and Chopper attacked at the same time.
"Gomu-Gomu no Jet Gatling"
"Jumping point."
"Let the Cooking begin." Sanji said with a smirk.
----T_T----
Everyone that was left on the room can hear and feel the crash that is happening outside.
"They are fighting someone. We should help them bro."
"No! The Captain said we can't leave this room. So we should obey his order." Zoro said with a frown in his head obviously trying to control himself from disobeying Luffy himself.
"But Zoro-san."
"If Luffy needs our help he will definitely call us."
"Crash!"
"They are wrecking my precious ship!"
"Crash!"
"Luffy!!!!"
They all heard Chopper's very worried call for Luffy. Chopper's voice took away the last restraint in Zoro's mind.
"Okay let's….."
"Crash!"
Another crash interrupted Zoro's words. But this one is different from the other's they heard earlier. This one is too close very close too them.
A part of the wall of the galley came crashing inside with something burning with it.
They all took a look at the burning bundle and they recognized the figure. Then they yelled the name of the person in surprise.
"Luffy!"
To be continued.
