Night shrouds the sky above the Island of the Dragon…

The Thousand Sunny stands still on the isle's shore…

Sogeking explains the situation the island is in now…


"So, the Mugiwaras are controlled by some cook, huh?" Drake said, as he crosses his arms.

"Yes. But Robin and I were smart enough not to eat the food that cook was eating!" Sogeking said proudly.

"So, okay, but I need to know your names, I don't just let strangers in my lair like this…" Drake said.

"Um… I'm Sogeking of Sniper Island and my Nakama here is Robin, an archeologist." Sogeking answered.

"Sniper king, huh? You seem like a hero, and Robin here is such a pretty lady in such a wrong place. She should be hanging out with the higher classes, not pirates…" Drake replied, brushing his hair upward.

"I am a hero! Haha!!" Sogeking said, very proud of the title.

"You see, Dragon-san, I only joined these pirates so I can fulfill my dreams." Robin said, quietly.

"Yes, yes. Dreams, goals and all the usual stuff I keep hearing about. Well, welcome to my humble abode, King of Snipers and Robin-chan." Drake stood. "Want something to drink?"

"No, thank you." Robin replied, still sitting on her place.

"You are a kind man, Dragon, but I no thank you." Sogeking replied, in a boasting tone.

"Tsk. No need to be shy…" Drake sat down. "So what's the cook's name?"

"A man named Koshi" Sogeking replied.

"Hah. I knew it. That Koshi is also one of the most wanted by the Marines." Drake explained, then he took a large piece of paper out of his small bag. "See this, I found it in a marine ship before I sunk it…"

Sogeking read loudly… "Pawn Maker Koshi… Dead or Alive… EH?! 240 MILLION!! THIS IS MORE THAN YOURS!!!"

"Tsk. Don't be surprised, King of Snipers. That 'Pawnmaker' has taken control over a thousand Marines, 3 Admirals and 1 World Government Official, and he only controls them by FOOD." Drake explained, as he leaned back on the wall.

"So that's why he's called the Pawn Maker…" Sogeking said.

"You were right, Sogeking-san. That's how Koshi-san controlled Sencho-san, Navigator-san and Cyborg-san, by eating!" Robin came in.

"Well, if that Koshi is here for trouble, I'll just cut him down like the rest of the marines…" Drake said, chuckling. "I don't want any idiot making a mess out of MY island…"

"But he's more dangerous than you, Dragon!"

"I know, but he's dangerous than me by FOOD, not by KATANA." Drake said.

"So, you will help us?" Robin asked.

"Of course I will. Not unless you're gonna do something else on this island once Koshi is slain." Drake said.

"Well, of course not! We only came here because that Koshi brought us here! We have no other reason!" Sogeking said, sweat drop.

"So, three of us will charge there first thing in the morning, how's that?" Drake said, confidently.

"WHAT?!" Sogeking gasped. "B-BUT HOW?!"

"What's wrong, King of Snipers? Afraid?" Drake lifted an eyebrow.

"No… it's just that… ah…"

"Nah, forget about worries, King of Snipers. We just charge tomorrow morning, okay, you two?" Drake said. "You, Robin-Chan, can you fight?" Drake asked.

"Yes, I can. Don't worry about me."

"Righhht. Okay, just go to sleep and we can go do a little work out tomorrow morning." Drake stretched. "I'll stay out and see what the hell Koshi is doing…"


Meanwhile… back to Sanji and the others…

It was 9:30 in the morning. Sanji walked to the kitchen, preparing the Don's daily 10 AM breakfast, Trisha heads to the infirmary to take care of the sick Agents and marines, Takono prepares herself as she walks to the office of the Don, and Zoro stays asleep on Room 99 of the mansion…

"I just can't wait to get outta here!! I don't want to work for that Ero-Don anymore!! I WANNA GET OUTTA HERE!!" Takono thought silently as she stood in front of the door to the Don's office, then, she knocked.

"Come in, the door's open" A voice came from inside, but it was not the Don's voice, it was Baxter's.

As Takono entered the door, she saw Baxter talking to the Don seriously. She couldn't hear what they were talking about, but it seems really serious.

"Okay, I'll handle that later, but for now, Baxter, we wait." The Don said after some silence. "You can leave." Baxter bowed and walked to the door, but as Baxter passed Takono, she felt a chill from her spine.

"Brr… that Baxter dude is scary even when he talks gay…" Takono walked over to the desk in front of her and said: "Reporting for duty, Don Pinstripe."

"Ah, yes, how is your back feeling now?" The Don asked, starting to blush.

"I'm fine now… (ERO-DON!!)" Takono replied.

"Very well. I want you to get my breakfast from the kitchen at 10 o'clock, because I don't want that Ero-cook to come here and make a mess of my office again." The Don said, seriously.

"Ah… okay…" Takono nodded her head, sitting on the chair by the desk, not beside the Don, or he might do something else… naughty.

Silence…

Then exactly at 10 o'clock, Takono stood from the chair and walked out the door and headed to the kitchen… As Takono entered the kitchen, she almost bumped into Sanji, who was about to exit the kitchen.

"Sanji-kun! I'm sorry!"

"Wahh! Takono-chwan! Be careful! I cooked this breakfast for 30 minutes!" Sanji said, as he almost lost balance.

"Psst! Sanji-kun! We have to talk!" Takono said, lowering her voice as low as possible, to prevent any other chefs from hearing.

"What is it?" Sanji whispered back.

"I'm having a chilly feeling that the Don and Baxter knew about our escape…" Takono whispered, looking around if any Chefs are looking at them.

"How? We were talking silently in Room 99!" Sanji replied, in a hissing voice.

"I don't know! But we have to not let our guard down, or else all the plans we were planning are all to waste!!" Takono whispered, giving hope to the situation.

"Right, but for now, we worry about working with the Don, okay, Takono-chwan?" Sanji whispered.

"Okay, then."

"Now, why are you here? I thought you were supposed to run errands for the Don?" Sanji asked back in his normal voice.

"The Don told me that I'll be the one to deliver his meal for him, okay, Sanji-kun? Because he told me that he does not want you to serve the food, or you'll make some trouble again" Takono said in her normal tone of voice.

"Tsk… what a pansy! Okay, here, and be careful, Takono-chwan…" Sanji handed over the big plate containing the meal.

"Don't worry about me! I'll slap the Don if I have to!!" Takono smiled at Sanji, making him feel better.

"Sigh! Just take care! I have to keep working, okay?" Sanji put on his apron.

"I'll be fine, Sanji-kun. Thanks." Takono walked out the kitchen door, and was headed to the Don's office with his meal.

As Takono entered the office, she saw once again Baxter there, talking to The Don seriously. Takono stood still with the large platter on her hand.

"Okay, I understand. Leave, I'm gonna have my breakfast now." Are the only words Takono heard from their conversation. Then Baxter stood and left the office.

"Ah, Yes, Takono, I see you bought my breakfast…" The Don said, taking a napkin and putting it on his collar. "Just place it here on the table and I'll enjoy my meal."

"Okay, Don…" Takono carefully placed the breakfast in front of the Don.

The whole morning was silent. Takono did the usual things the Don wanted to do. Sanji was cooking 85 meals an hour to feed the hungry mouths of the agents. Trisha takes care of the sick in the Mansion's infirmary and Zoro stays asleep on the dark cave of Room 99… Then at around 2:30 PM, something else happened…

The Office of the Don…

"Ahh, Takono. It's been a long day…" The Don stood still in front of the window over viewing the Island of Wasage.

"Uh… is there anything else you want me to do?" Takono asked, while she stayed seated on the chair in front of the desk. "If there is nothing, then…"

"Actually there is…" The Don faced Takono. "You are only my assistant for 2 days and yet… I feel like… what shall I say… yes, growing on you."

Takono held her breath. "Excuse Me?"

"You see, Takono…" The Don walked closer to her. "I've been wanting to ask…" The Don stood in front of her. "If you can forgive me for what I did yesterday."

Takono couldn't move. "Uh… sure I forgive you… er…"

"And another thing I wanted to ask…" The Don took Takono's hand. "…Will you marry me?"

"WHAT?! MARRY YOU?! I ONLY WORKED FOR YOU FOR TWO DAYS AND YOURE ASKING SUCH A QUESTION!! AND WE DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT EACH OTHER YET!!" Takono yelled at him, taking her hand away from the Don's.

But the Don says otherwise, He placed his fist on the wall near the right side of her head. Then he shot an angry glare at Takono and said, in a low growling tone: "I insist…"

Takono froze. She never saw such anger on the Don's eyes, but she won't give in. "NEVER!! I'LL NEVER MARRY YOU!!" Takono escaped the glare of the Don, but she got nowhere to run. The Don was near the door!!

"So… that's the way you want it…" The Don leaned calmly on the door. "But you can't escape me…"

"Damn it!! Just when 3PM is close by, this thing happens!!" Takono thought hopelessly as she stood behind the desk of the Don.

"Hahaha!! Don't worry about escaping, Takono! Sanji and the others will come and get you!!" The Don laughed evilly.

Takono gasped. He knew about the escape plan after all!! "H-How did you…"

"Baxter told me about it this morning. When he heard all of you talking in Room 99… tsk… too bad you can't escape now, eh?" The Don crossed his arms, still leaning on the door. "You have to reconsider about what you said about not marrying me… or else…"

"I knew they knew about the plan!! I have to warn Sanji-kun, but how?! I'm stuck up with this Ero!!" Takono looked around, trying to find something to divert the Don's attention.

As 3PM came in, Sanji and Trisha ran along the silent corridors of the mansion, heading to the dark Room 99.

"Where's Takono-Chwan?" Sanji asked, as he stopped in front of the door of Room 99.

"Dunno… I didn't see her anywhere when we came running here…" Trisha replied, gasping for air from running. "But she has to come, or the shift will end at 3:30!! Making the passageways impossible to go through!!"

"Tsk… I have a bad feeling about this…" Sanji ran through the corridors, making his way for the Don's office.

"Sanji-san! Where are you going?!" Trisha yelled.

"Just go ahead through the caves!! I'll catch up with you!!" Sanji yelled back.

"Okay…" Trisha opened the door and walked in, seeing Zoro asleep on the floor. "Oi!! Marimo-san!! Wake up! We have to go!!" Trisha nudged Zoro.

"ZZZZz… Hrm?" Zoro stood, then stretching. "Time to go already? Where's Ero-cook and pink menace?"

"No time! We have to leave now, before 3:30!!" Trisha pulled Zoro by his polo, heading to the dark cave.

Back to Sanji…

Sanji stood in front of the door to the Don's office. "Nah!! Just forget about opening it properly!!" Sanji stood back. "SHINSHINABE SHOOT!!!" Sanji gave a hard slamming side kick to the door. The kick pushed the door and the Don with it.

"TAKONO-CHWAN!! ARE YOU OKAY?!" Sanji looked around, and Takono emerged from the desk.

"Sanji-kun!!" Takono ran to give Sanji a hug. "You came!!"

"What happened??"

"That Ero-Don was asking me to marry HIM!!"

"Where is he now?"

Takono pointed out the large window over viewing the island of Wasage. "When you kicked the door, I had to hide under the desk, because he crashed through the window and fell down!!"

"We have no time to linger around here… we have to go!!" Sanji grabbed Takono's hand and ran.

"Nyaahh! Sanji-kun! Be careful!! I might trip!!"

Back to Zoro…

As Zoro and Trisha exited the cave to the Hidden Docks of the mansion, there was trouble…

"Well, Well, it seems it was true that you were escaping, Trisha and Roronoa Zoro…" Baxter stood calmly in front of the two, with lots of Agents behind him.

"Tsk!" Zoro stopped his pace, Trisha hid behind him.

"Help me, Marimo-san! I don't want to be back at the infirmary again!!" Trisha said behind Zoro.

"DON'T CALL ME MARIMO!! IM ZORO!!" Zoro drew his swords, and stood his ground. "Sorry, whoever you are, but we still have to escape…"

"You guys are so persistent! Anyways… AGENTS!! GET THOSE TWO!!" Baxter commanded, and soon Agents began rushing towards Zoro and Trisha.

"Taka…" Zoro took his Oni Giri position. "NAMI!!!!!" Zoro swung his two swords, creating an air wave, pushing back all the Agents who were about to surround him and Trisha.

"Tsk, no matter how much Agents you send, they'll be killed in a wink…" Zoro stood his ground.

Baxter took his brass knuckles and put it on his hand. "Well, let's try me, for instance. If I send many of me, can you kill me in a wink?"

Zoro didn't get what he said. "Eh? Many of you?"

"I'll show you!" then Baxter made a triangle shape with both his hands, and said: "BUNSHINN!!" The Zoro saw, out of thin air, 2 more Baxters came out!!

"Nani!?" Zoro kept up his guard, then suddenly, he was caught behind him. "BEHIND?!"

"Now can you kill us in a wink?" Baxter said behind him.

The 2 clones were running towards Zoro, and gave him twin punches on the face, causing him to fall on the floor. Trisha hid in the cave, avoiding battle, then she heard some footsteps behind her.

"Oi! Trisha-Chan!! What are you doing here?" Sanji asked, Takono behind him.

"Baxter knew about our escape, and there he is, beating up Marimo-san!!" Trisha pointed out the docks.

"Damn stewardess…" Sanji leaped out the cave, and landed on the floor of the docks. "Oi!! You can stop beating him up now!! It's me you want right?" Sanji stood his ground, hands in pocket.

"Ahh!! The Ero of them all!!" Baxter cracked his fists. "Now we get to fight for real, eh?"

"SHUT UP AND GET IT ON, PANSY!!" Sanji ran towards Baxter, delivering a skyward kick to his face, Baxter dodged, and a Clone grabbed Sanji behind and tossed him in the air, Baxter leaps, and lands his right fist directly on the center of Sanji's torso.

"Agh!!" Sanji crashed to the floor.

"Hahaha!! That, Sanji, is the power of Bunshin Bunshin No Mi!!" Baxter laughed out.

Sanji stood, still on his knees. "Damn it…" then he was on time to see Baxter creating another clone by making a triangle shape out of his two hands. "BUNSHINN!!" Baxter created 3 more clones out of thin air. Then it hit Sanji…

"So… that's how that gay stewardess creates his freaking clones… by his hands!!" Sanji got up, and smiled. "Every devil fruit has a weakness, you know?" Sanji put his hands in the pocket.

"Eh? Since when did my Bunshin Bunshin No Mi has a weakness?" Baxter asked, calmly, while three of his clones stood still behind him.

"I'll show you!!" Sanji came running to Baxter again, and the clones ran to him to counter attack. Sanji quickly reacted. "COLLIER FRIT!!" giving the first two clones a handstand kick on the neck. And Sanji landed a strong kick on the knee and kicked the clone on the face, causing the clone to fly into the water nearby.

Alerted, Baxter tried to shape his hands into a triangle, but Sanji soon ran forward and said: "SLICER SHOOT!!" and delivered a skyward kick to Baxter's hands.

"AGH!! Damn it!!" Baxter withdrew his hands, then he tried again, but Sanji was too quick for him. "ESCALOPE!!" Sanji delivered a hard side kick on the head of Baxter. Baxter started losing his balance. "GIGOT!!" Sanji gave a sweeping kick on Baxter's knee, causing Baxter to fall on his knees. As Sanji landed on the floor, he walked up to Baxter and towered over him "Give it up, gay talking pansy…" Sanji glared angrily at Baxter who was on his knees.

"DAMN YOU ERO-COOK!! I'LL KILL YOU!!" Baxter stood and raised his fist to punch Sanji. But before he could, Takono walked in and punched Baxter heavily on the cheek. "Persistent son of a…"

"Sanji-kun! Stop! I already finished him off!" Takono held Sanji's arm. "We have to leave now, or the Agents will find out what the hell happened here!!"

"Oi! Marimo-San!! Are you okay?" Trisha walked over to Zoro, who was on the floor.

"Heck yeah, I'm okay! Can you help me up? I landed on my back and now it hurts…" Zoro asked.

And soon, Sanji, Takono, Zoro and Trisha went aboard the Mini Merry which was still docked and left for the sea… finally, they have escaped the clutches of the World Government and Sanji went on to pursue his dreams and this time, Sanji said, there wont be any interruptions or problems… As the Island of Wasage was left behind, Sanji and the others went back to their regular ways of life… Sanji cooking on the mini kitchen, Takono sleeping on the dining table, Zoro was asleep on the floor mat and Trisha on the backside of the Mini Merry…

"Nyahaha!! Finally we escaped that mansion hell!! I don't ever want to go back there again!!" Sanji said in joy as he cooks.

"You can say that again... I don't want anybody making me personal assistant anymore…" Takono said softly, then drifted back to sleep.

"HOW THE HELL CAN I SLEEP WHEN THAT ERO-COOK KEEPS TALKING?!" Zoro shouted angrily, as he sits on the mat.

"Whoa! Take it easy, Marimo-san!! Go back to sleep!!" Trisha said, surprised form the yelling.

And so… the Mini Merry gets shrouded in the darkness of the Grand Line night as it makes its way to the legendary sea of All Blue…

Now that they have escaped, will Sanji be overcoming with problems again? Or something worse? And for Sogeking and the rest, what happened to them? Did they successfully beat Koshi? Find that out in the next story arc of All Blue in Chapter 12!! Ja Ne!!


I know it kinda sucks, but I already have big plans for Chapter 12… okay? So sorry for the late updates, but I'll try posting Chapter 12 SOONER… okay? Arigatou!!
