SDFASDFJDAS I just found out that Stephanie Young, who voices for Robin, also voices for Arachne! It's so awesome hearing Robin all evil and villainy! *A*

Sanji gulped uneasily and glanced behind him. No one was there, but he couldn't help but feel that someone was watching him. Nonsense; if there was, he'd know.

He nearly gagged again when he again glanced at the barrel crawling with worms and other insects. It was beyond him how the barrel of flour had suddenly become infested overnight. Besides, the other barrels were perfectly fine; maybe it was a crack in the seal or something.

One thing was for certain. Nami-san couldn't know about this, or else she'd be pissed off that an entire barrel had been wasted. Sanji felt like hitting himself. He was the cook, the one in store of their food. It was his fault for letting such a stupid thing occur. Maybe later at night when everyone else would be asleep he would dispose of the worms into the sea. With one final gag, Sanji firmly pressed the lid down on the worms, hiding them from view.

Robin searched through the barrels and crates, searching for the box of coffee she had purchased at their last stop. It was probably in between the frozen fruits and the barrels of cola…

Robin froze when she heard a distinct squishy sound to her right. She approached the barrel from where it came from and pried off the lid.

If she were of the easily startled type, she probably would have screamed hysterically and ran out of the storage room as if she was on fire. But, Robin wasn't like that, so she simply stared at the worms squirming in the barrel.

Robin replaced the lid and exited, the coffee forgotten. She had an intuition that Sanji, who was in charge of the food stock, wouldn't want anyone else to know. Oh well- it would have made an excellent horror story. Worms crawling everywhere, eating away at the helpless victims soles… fun stuff.

"KYAAAH!" Nami shrieked when she opened the door of her cabin to see Sanji dumping worms overboard. "Sanji-kun, what are those?"

"N-Nami-san!" Sanji let go of the barrel and it fell into the water with a splash. "Shit! The barrel!"

"Why are you up so late? It's Franky's shift!" Nami eyed him suspiciously.

"I was… getting rid of the worms." Sanji said.

"What worms?"

"One of the barrels of flours got infested. I don't know how." He said miserably.

"What about the rest of our food?" Nami asked in alarm. "The next island is far-"

"The rest of it is fine!" Sanji quickly said. "It was just that one barrel, I promise!"

"Well… in the morning, I'll get the whole crew to inspect the storage room. Just to be safe." Nami sighed. "Thanks for telling me, Sanji-kun."

"You're not mad?"

"Of course not. If you kept the worms aboard, that'd be a whole different story." Nami smiled weakly.

"Thank you for being so understanding, Nami-san!"

The eye and ear on the mast vanished. Robin chuckled and put her book down. Maybe she'd get to tell her horror story after all.

People screaming, worms crawling everywhere, eating through flesh and bone and burrowing into brains… yes…

Thought of the day: who do you consider is the most (or one of the most) overrated One Piece character and why? (As in, you don't think they deserve their popularity).
