gamelover41592: The only connection that they work together and apparently for awhile. She is in no way connected to his past. Also please read the authors note, I put those there for a reason.
StrongGuy159: Thanks for the praise as always.
F-ckthesysteme125: She's not a Baroque works in this. Since we don't known much about her other than she's a cook. I figured having her appear at the Baratie wouldn't kill a twig.
Wacko12: The author notes are not there for fun. Please read them, the blonde waitress is Ms. Valentine's day. Second the woman in Luffy's harem is as follows. Hancock, Nami, Alvida, Vivi, and ?. Haven't given a good decision on that one yet.
FanFictionHunter: I'm glad you liked it, but I'm about to tone it down for the next few chapters. Arlong arc will be a turning point for some Luffy x Nami.
BloodyFangKing95: "Are they dating?" Nope. To Luffy it was just a kiss nothing more. Hancock wish she could live in that reality. Thanks for telling me the praise and sadly there will be no way I can do 7k. If I do a good majority of that chapter would probably be filler. But maybe I can pull through it next chapter.
Son of Whitebeard: Yes, yes it is.
cool reaper: The author notes are there for a reason. The blondewaitress is Miss Valentine's day.
Sanji did as he normally did and cooked in the kitchen. Cooking over the hot stove he thought about what the rubber boy asked him earlier. Joining a pirate crew? Foolish! He belonged here on the Baratie with chef Zeff and Summer and everyone else. He would admit getting some fresh hair was a nice thought, but he could never leave here. Turning the stove off signaling his final decision. He wasn't going to leave and that was that.
"I don't care how beautiful, Nami-swan is. It won't be enough to make me leave." Sanji muttered to himself.
"Sanji." Called a female voice, Sanji turned around facing Summer. For some reason looking at the woman made him sigh. "We need too have chat." Before Sanji could open his mouth, Summer continued. "I'm leaving."
That struck a nerve in the blondes head. Even then he still went the calm, cool route. "You don't mind if I ask what for right?"
"I'm joining Luffy and his crew, I want to see the world." Summer told him, emotion everywhere in her voice. "Come with me Sanji, we don't have too stay here for the rest of are lives. We can live are dreams." Summer tried to convince. However Sanji didn't seem too much convinced if not at all.
"Sorry Summer, but you know for a fact I will never leave the old man. You can go on without me I don't care." Those last two words went a different tone. 'I don't care' of course he cared, he just wouldn't show it.
Summer had actually shattered a little. She believed she met at least something. "Fine." She shut the door behind her without another word.
Bonney strolled in the dining room. Her conversation with Hancock went nowhere, in a since, she didn't care. Shrugging Bonney decided to eat. She found her fellow crew members at a table, but for what she wanted it cost a whole table.
"Greetings you dirty crook, what'll you have?" Asked Patty.
Bonney smirked. "Give me pizza and lot's of it."
…
"Um miss, you have meatballs in your hair." Patty said. "I'll just…"
"DON'T TOUCH MY FOOD!" Bonney shouted.
Everyone looked a bit surprised the way the woman was eating, except Makino. As far as she could tell it was like feeding Luffy. Looking again she noticed her table manners were off. "Sitting on a table while you eat. Honestly Bonney." Makino sighed. Makino looked back now seeing Zoro walk up to her.
"Woman you either sit in a chair or not at all." Zoro scolded her.
"What the hell do you want swordsman! Go away I'm eating." Bonney scoffed. Slobbering down another pizza, Bonney remembered a fact about Zoro. He inhaled a lot of booze and rum, she wondered exactly how big his tolerance was. "Neh, Zoro let's have a drinking contest."
Zoro raised a brow and smiling at what she offered. "Finally your thinking right. I didn't take you for a drinker."
"I'm just curious how high your tolerance is." Bonney admitted.
At this the entire restaurant gathered at the competition, including the Straw Hats. Everyone placed small bets/ wagers on who would win. Kaya and Nami put their money on Zoro, Nami never lost a bet. Hancock decided too prove Nami wrong and went with Bonney. Makino was the only one left out deciding she didn't want any part of gambling.
Sanji didn't like seeing such a beautiful woman go against a moss head. "Pink locks of hair, tangerine blush, THE GOD OF SEXY WOMAN. Wait! I'm describing all beautiful ladies at once. Their just so beautiful!" Sanji swooned in his head.
"Done!" Bonney threw the bottle down in defeat. She could barely lift her head from the exhaustion.
Zoro lifted her head looking into her eye's, taunting with his laugh. "Looks like you couldn't beat me woman."
His devilish smile didn't help her situation. Bonney couldn't take it, actually feeling helpless. That wasn't her! "Get off me moss head!" The pain from her head was worth that yell.
"Moss head, nice one Bonney- chan." Sanji complimented.
"Back off! Pervert!" Bonney sent Sanji crashing into the wall. The latter stood up and simply dusted himself off.
Once again Zoro laughed. "Your a good one."
Nami quietly sneaked back on the ship. She didn't feel too good about stealing it from her so called "friends". She had enjoyed herself with them and honestly wished she could've stayed longer. However she had problems so big that she couldn't enjoy herself. At least she could say that she wouldn't miss Hancock honestly.
Lifting her shirt up halfway in the most seductive way possible, she turned to Johnny and Yosaku. "Boys you wouldn't mind turning around so I can change right?"
"Of course not big sis." Johnny said blushing like a daisy. When he turned around Yosaku soon followed. She could hear them making stupid comments about her breast. Guess you wouldn't feel so horrible. Sneaking up to them like the sly cat she was, Nami grabbed hold of their backs. Right before pushing them off.
"What the!…"
"Big sis, Nami."
Smiling nonchalantly she leaned over the railing. "Sorry boys, the time I had was fun, but now I have to leave. Tell the others if we meet again then it was truly meant too be."
She didn't say another word, no matter how much of the pleas she heard. Nami had a responsibility one she had for seven years. She wasn't going too let anyone get in the way of her almost finished goal.
"Sanji, join me!" Luffy shouted.
Sanji wasn't happy with this, the kid already got Summer why does he still want him. Couldn't he just take his beautiful woman and go before he dies of blood lost.
"Excuse me sir, there's blood dripping out your nose." A man complained.
"I refuse!" Sanji shouted.
"I refuse." Luffy countered.
"What?"
"I refuse your refusal." Luffy explained.
"What the hell!" Sanji shouted. He was ready to kick the kid highway into heaven. Just after preparing his leg a croaky voice came from the kitchen.
"Sanji get back to work"
Damn that old man, Sanji knew the kid would get his soon enough.
Summer walked up to the unfortunate, pirate also her captain. "Good luck with that, he won't leave this ship to save his life." She said, cleaning up a cup.
"I don't care, I'm not leaving until he joins us." Luffy responded.
Summer smiled knowing she made a good choice. She had yet to see the inside of the ship, but she couldn't wait too live in her new home. "Captain, how about I make you some sweets."
"Yosh! Sure thing." Luffy agreed.
Turning her head back facing a certain swordsman. "I can make some for you too, Zoro." She didn't get an answer from the latter other than a simple pout. Either way she took that as a yes.
He regretted nothing.
Sanji knew the outcome before it happened. Not even when Don krieg reneged his words, and revealed his intent on seizing the Baratie. And when the other chef cursed him for bringing ruined on them. He still remained nonchalant. A promise was a promise and when it came to protecting the Baratie. He would fight for his life.
With every waking moment, wado or should he kuina shook. He didn't know what was bugging her. This sensation all started when Don Krieg showed up. Kuina kept muttering how it was time to prove himself, the worlds greatest swordsman. Zoro could only think of one thing…. Mihawk.
Suddenly a great noise from outside caused all the pirates to run outside. All of them saw Krieg's galleon fall apart. Worried about Merry the pirates rushed towards where they docked her. Only to find Johnny and Yosaku in the water.
"Johnny, Yosaku what happened? Where's Merry?" Luffy asked them.
"It was big sis Nami, she took advantage of are distraction and pushed us overboard." Yosaku responded.
"That whore! How dare she take what's precious to Luffy. I'll kill her!" Hancock thought already making a hundred way of disabling her.
"Nami did that." Luffy muttered. How could she? What was she even doing? "She couldn't have gotten far, I'll stay here and fight with the cooks. The rest of you have to go after her." Luffy ordered.
For some reason Hancock started blushing and her voice became almost high pitched. "Luffy, you are so smart!"
An awful silence suddenly filled the atrosmospher. For Kreig had been raging just a moment ago, he was more silent then ever. The cause of this silence caused a multitude of things. Zoro had directly challenged him, Hawk eye's for the title of worlds greatest swordsman.
"Hawk eye's, your head is mine." Zoro challenged.
Hancock grabbed the twisted pain in her stomach, she recognized the swordsman. Just as the swordsman recognized her. Mihawk ignored Zoro having his intention more focused on Hancock. "I was hoping for something that could hold my interest. Little did I expect to find the pirate empress in the East Blue." Mihawk said. Shocked stairs were his only reply.
"Hancock, do you know him?" Luffy asked.
Hancock bit her lip, she was not ready for this. Could she lie and get away with it? No, Mihawk was smarter than that. The that left her last option, but with that she could lose the trust of her beloved Luffy. "I've given up on my old life, I have a new one with Luffy. That means I have nothing to do with the warlords anymore."
Mihawk couldn't say he was shocked at the least. In his days he's heard stranger. "Are you saying your giving up everything and could careless about what happens to Amazon land?"
"I am." Hancock believed whatever happened her sisters would protect the land. They would understand if they'd knew her predicament.
Mihawk wouldn't question her further. He still had boredom to kill, the swordsman in front of him could kill that.
Sanji braced himself for Pearls finishing move. Instead of disc hitting his head nothing happened.
This was because Summer blocked his attack with only her leg. Pearl forced his disc harder in, realizing his close attempt Summer lightened her weight. Souring in the air over him Pearl wondered what was going on.
"Summer stop! Gin will kill the old man!" Sanji pleaded.
"One hundred kilogram press!"
CRACK!
Summer shattered his armor and plummeted Pearl through the floor. After this Summer closed her umbrella immediately encountered by Sanji.
"Why would you do that! Gin gonna …" Sanji was cut off.
"Quiet Sanji, Gin wasn't going too kill him." Summer argued.
She was proven right when Gin refused to kill Zeff. This caused an argument between him and Son kreig. In the end Kreig disbanded him from his rule.
Barely alive, his awareness was but a little speck of darkness.
"Sir state your name." Mihawk told him.
Crossing his swords together then swinging them at rapid speed. Zoro wouldn't lose here he still had a promise to fulfil. "Roronoa Zoro." He stated.
"Zoro! Stop being a weakling! You promised me, now make the promise!" At the worst time possible, Kuina shouted from Wado again. He couldn't let this be a distraction.
"I'll remember it, I haven't come across someone as strong as you in quite some time." Mihawk finished his statement by bringing out his swords. "Now as a swordsman courtesy I will defeat you with the worlds strongest black sword."
"I appreciate it."
"I don't!"
"Dammit, shut up Kuina." Zoro mentally shouted.
"I won't Zoro, you were weak when we were kids. And your weak now! I'm tired of letting you have control, now it's my turn!"
"What!" At that point Zoro started losing any control he had. He eternally fought back, but Kuina wasn't having any of it. Resistance was futile and Kuina found suit of her new body. She wondered what it was like having the body of a man.
Kuina turned around to the Baratie, watching everyone wondering what happened. She cracked them a smile just for the fun of it. Then turned her attention to the greatest swordsman.
"I hope your ready to die Mihawk." Kuina taunted. All three swords began glowing with a violent purple aura. Her eye glowed purple just as she crossed her swords. With the sharpest of blades she dashed towards him.
"Three sword style: One Thousand Birds!/ FALL!"
In the blink of an eye Kuina was passed the worlds greatest swordsman, resheating her glowing blades. Mihawk's cheek erupted with blood.
"Remarkable not only have you managed to wound my cheek." Started Mihawk. "But you've even managed to make me draw my sword." Finishing his words Kuina's chest erupted with blood.
"How? I am stronger than Zoro, I shouldn't be able too lose." Kuina's eye's flashed as she fell to the ground. The foot was put down stopping the fall.
"I told you Kuina to let me keep control." Zoro mumbled stopping the fall. As soon as he resumed control the pain hit him like a bus. "Dammit! I never would imagined I'd lose. So this is the touch of the worlds greatest swordsman."
Zoro turned to Mihawk opening his arm's up.
"Why?" Mihawk questioned.
Zoro smiled. "Scars from behind are a swordsman shame."
"Admiral." Mihawk cut Zoro's chest open giving the mother of open wounds.
"ZORO"
"ZORO"
Makino held back her tears staying cool and collected. "Kaya get the first aid kit and lots of painkillers."
"Right." Said Kaya.
Mihawk smiled at the man and his captain one more time before taking his departure. "I'll be waiting for you both in New World."
By his order most his crew had gone after Nami. The only one left behind was Hancock that just had too be by Luffy. The latter catapulted himself towards Kreig's ship ready for a fight.
"Stupid boy." Don't Kreig held his face where Luffy, had given him a well punch. "What's with you cooks fighting for a restaurant?"
"That's not why I punched you." Luffy told him.
"Then why did you." Kreig glared.
Luffy raised his voice. "Because you said your going to be pirate king, I'm going to be pirate king. Not you."
Kreig stared at him for awhile before he burst out laughing. "Your gonna be pirate king, just because you ate a devil fruit doesn't mean you can be king. Your at a disadvantage anyway, you can't swim."
"It doesn't matter I'm still gonna kick your ass!" Luffy exclaimed.
Luffy through another punch at the pirate captain. Kreig being on guard this time blocked with a coat of spikes. Which Luffy unhesitatingly punched through. Sending Kreig skirting across the deck, as the boy took his place on the figure head his hands dripping with blood.
"My names Monkey D. Luffy and the future pirate king." Luffy proclaimed.
Sanji couldn't believe it, the boy preached his dreams. Didn't let anyone tell him otherwise.
"I'm gonna be pirate king."
"I'm gonna find the All Blue."
He reminded him of himself.
"Monkey D. Luffy …" Kreig recovered and rises to his feet again. "I'LL CARVE YOUR TOMBSTONE!"
Gin realised what Don't Kreig meant. "MH-5, Boy watch out!"
"A poison gas weapon. Is he crazy?" Summer said.
Hancock catching on what was happening, quickly came with a plan. If it worked then it could end this fight. "You, woman fly me across the ship." Hancock ordered.
"You want me to do what?" Summer asked.
"You heard me, fly me across the ship so I can save my beloved.
Knowing she know heard it right Summer gave Hancock a nod.
Ten seconds later a purple streak hurdled to the ground on Don Kreig's ship. Above the man himself.
WHACK!
There was an awful silence amongst the fighters. Luffy didn't know what happened, but where Don't Kreig was so alive at one point was now shattered on the deck. Now Hancock was smiling at her wonderful success. "Don't worry Luffy, Hancock will protect you." [1]
"I don't need protecting Boa, I was just fine on my own." Luffy told her with a annoyed tone.
"My apologies." Hancock bowed.
With Son Kreig defeated everyone and everything calmed down. Gin took Kreig and the rest of the pirates raw away from the restaurant. While the cooks plus Luffy and Hancock went back in the restaurant. Sanji was almost pushed into joining Luffy when in reality that was what he wanted anyways. At another time Yosaku appeared saying that everyone else was in trouble.
As they made their departure the man Sanji known made his appearance. Zeff came just in time to wave them off goodbye.
"CHEF ZEFF!" Sanji bowed on the ground crying his eye's out. "Thank you, I will never forget your kindness."
Soon everyone else cried along and even Zeff himself. "Idiots, man should just leave without saying words."
"TIL WE MEET AGAIN, YOU BASTARDS."
A/N: This chapter was hell to write. Anyway if your reading this there is a new poll on my profile. I don't want Johnny and Yosaku (as one) and Nojiko at the same time. So the poll is which one would you like to join the crew?
