Baron (Zoro/Sanji + Luffy)

I'm using as requested this definition of baron: a cut of mutton or lamb comprising the two loins, or saddle, and the hind legs.

"What's for dinner Sanji?" Luffy asked as he sat at the kitchen table in the galley. It was raining outside and the others had resorted to staying indoors. Luffy has moved to the kitchen to be close to the warm atmosphere and good smelling food, similar to the rainy days when he was younger. Makino's bar always smelled well on those days; the lack of customers was a nice change. Even with the rain dampening their adventure, these times with his nakama he wouldn't change.

"We're having baron," Sanji answered automatically as he sliced the portions of meat to the appropriate appetite of each crew member. There was a lack of response from Luffy which made Sanji turn his head. A smirk played on his lips.

"What? Have I finally done it? Have I found something that the fearless and great captain Monkey D. Luffy actually doesn't like?" Sanji said while grinning around his cigarette. Luffy only continued to look at the cook. Zoro, who was also sitting at the table turned his head and grinned at the look on Luffy's face.

"We're having nobles for dinner?!" Luffy said suddenly as he leaned over the table. "When did we become cannibals? I thought that was a bad thing?"

Sanji's eyes widened as his cigarette fell from his mouth. Zoro on the other hand burst out laughing smacking the table with his hand, as his face went red and tears from laughing peaked out of the corners of his eyes.

"Haha! The only thing funnier than what he said is the look on your face target brow!" Zoro said as he started gasping for breaths. Taking a deep breath the first mate turned to his captain with a somewhat straight face.

"Yes Luffy, the shithead is cooking nobles. He wants to try cannibalism," Zoro said as Sanji picked up a pan and threw it at him rage flaring around him.

"You fucking asshole. Shut up and go outside," Sanji yelled, his face going red. Turning to Luffy he glared at the captain. "And you…" Luffy looked at him. "Go be a smartass somewhere else," Luffy only laughed as he went to go tell the others what happened.

Turning his glare back to Zoro he watched the swordsman have a few last chuckles. Fishing out a new cigarette he lit it and inhaled deeply.

"What?"

Zoro grinned.

"It would have been so much easier if you just told him it was beef," Sanji did a double take when he heard what came out of the man's mouth.

"How the hell do you know that?"
