Chapter 11: Marines!

"Morning, Sanji!" I said, walking into the kitchen as he was making breakfast.

Sanji hugged me. "Morning, Cutie." I smiled. "Waffles?"

"Yes, please!" I hugged him back.

Sanji replied, "Comin' right up!" Mr. Prince, with a flick of his wrist, moved the pan, tossing the finished waffle up into the air and onto a plate. I appaulded him. "For you, Miss," He bent down on one knee and gave it to me.

"Thank you, Sir." I giggled. After we all ate, I sat on the masthead and enjoyed the beautiful day.

"Kira! That's my spot!" Luffy whined.

I shrugged. "You didn't get here fast enough."

"No fair! Sanji gave you your food first!"

I laughed, "You're right!" I jumped down. "Nami? Robin?"

"Yea?" Nami and Robin were reading books.

"How do you deal with being outnumbered by men? If we can call them that!" I laughed.

"By pulling out our hair and screaming at 'em!" Nami laughed.

I said, "Robin, how do you deal with them? You never get mad."

"Ignore them," Robin smiled. "Although, I find Cook-san's declartions of love to be quite flattering."

I laughed again, "He's crazy for you and Nami!"

"Marines!" Usopp shouted from the crow's nest. I shivered with excitment and unsheated my sword. Sanji, Zolo, Luffy, and I ran to meet the marines that were now aboard Merry.

AHHHHHHHH!" Chopper and Nami screamed as they ran away from a marine. A gunshot rang in my ear as I heard Sanji's voice.

"Never attack a lady, you crap-asshole!" Sanji shouted. Robin was laying on her side, out cold. Sanji's chest was bleeding from a small bullet hole. I smiled at my hero's bravery.

I knocked out two and jumped to avoid another. A blade touched my back. Uh oh! I can't dodge it!

The marine fell. Sanji grinned at me. "S'up?"

"Thanks, Sanji-kun!" I said and returned to fighting.

Zolo, Sanji, and Luffy got the marines to finally retreat. Zolo and Luffy had minor cuts and bruises. Beside the bullet wound in his chest, Sanji looked a little tried but fine. Chopper checked everyone over anyway. I sat down, cleaning my sword a few hours later. "S'up, Kira-chan?" Sanji sat beside me.

"Yo, Mr. Prince." I greeted. "I loved that arc."

Sanji looked confused. "Which one?"

I laughed, "I call the Alabasta arc the Mr. Prince arc."

"Is it your favorite?"

"No, my favorite arc is Skypiea. You are so cool! Espeically when you mess up Eneru's ship,"

Sanji took off his black jacket and we talked to each other until dinner.
