dragoscilvio requested WW Sanji with howling and a sneezing attack due to his sensitive nose.

Non-humans: WW Zoro, WW Sanji


"Come on, Usopp, focus," Sanji muttered. He and Usopp were on a gathering mission since they were starting to run low on herbs. Usopp had passed by several herbs which Sanji had to keep pointing out (irritably) to him.

Usopp scowled as he and Sanji trooped through the forest. "Which one of us got distracted by a squirrel? Which one of us had to grab onto the other one's shirt to stop him from running off?"

Sanji's tail and eye twitched in annoyance. "It could've made a good meal."

"Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly why you tried to run after it," Usopp muttered sarcastically.

"Shut up," Sanji said half-heartedly. "Now, let's see . . ."

He suddenly stopped. Usopp bumped into him and made a face. "What's the big—?"

"Shh," Sanji hissed. He turned his head this way and that, sniffing the air.

"There's something coming," he said quietly.

Usopp's eyes widened. "What?"

"Something big," Sanji said, continuing to sniff the air. "I can't really tell what it is . . ."

"A—a lion?" Usopp asked nervously. "A t-tiger? A-a bear?!"

"Now's not the time for literary references," Sanji scolded. He stiffened. "It's getting closer."

About ten feet to their left, the bushes started shaking. Usopp and Sanji whipped around.

Out of the leaves came an odd and dangerous-looking creature. It had the head and mane of a lion, the forelegs and abdomen of a tiger, and the hindquarters of a bear.

"IT'S ALL THREE?!" Usopp screeched.

"A liger-bear? I wonder what sound it makes," Sanji mused.

The liger-bear saw Usopp and Sanji, hunched its striped shoulders, and squawked like a seagull.

"THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!" Usopp and Sanji yelled.

The liger-bear squawked again and charged towards them. Usopp and Sanji dove out of the way, dropping the herbs as they hit the dirt and rolled.

They jumped back up.

"Usopp, can you fight?" Sanji demanded.

"I left my ammo back at the ship," Usopp whispered.

"Then run!"

"You don't have to tell me!" Usopp cried. "Good luck! Please don't die!"

He ran away, tripping over tree roots and throwing a glance back at the werewolf and the liger-bear.

"You wanna fight, you weirdo?" Sanji demanded with a snarl, readying his stance.

The liger-bear flinched and its eyes filled with tears. It turned away from Sanji and covered its golden muzzle with striped paws. It started to cry.

"You're sensitive?!" Sanji yelled incredulously.

The liger-bear turned back to Sanji, still crying. It squawked and leapt through the air with a magnificent leap. Sanji leapt up and delivered a kick into its underbelly. The creature squawked loudly and went flying into the trees. It hit its head and slid to the ground, unconscious.

"Damn weird thing," Sanji muttered. He straightened up and gathered the herbs he and Usopp had dropped.

Suddenly he looked around.

"Oh, no," he said. "Usopp . . . ? USOPP!"

No response.

Sanji whimpered and sniffed the air. He caught Usopp's scent and started to follow it. Unfortunately, the gunpowder was soon overwhelmed by flowery herbs and spices littering the path.

Sanji came to a stop and looked around helplessly. The feeling of horrible loneliness was increasing by the second.

He sat against a tree and started to whine.

Back at the ship

". . . And then it squawked like a seagull!" Usopp finished dramatically.

"Sure, sure," Nami said. "So, really, where's Sanji-kun?"

"I'm telling the—oh, never mind!" Usopp said, frustrated. "Sanji should be back any minute now, I bet he can track my scent or something."

Luffy, who was starting to lose interest after Usopp stopped describing the liger-bear, started picking his nose. "Yeah, he'll be fine."

Nami narrowed her eyes at him. "I'm sure he will be, but you don't have to sound so unconcerned."

Luffy shrugged. "He's Sanji. He'll be fine."

Zoro, who had been pretending to sleep, finally opened his eyes. "Usopp, you left the cook alone?"

"Yeah?" Usopp said. "What's the problem?"

Zoro rolled his eyes. "Oh, geez. Well, let's hope he doesn't get too upset and topple the whole forest."

Nami frowned. "What are you talking about?"

Zoro shrugged. "Well, you know how I get if you leave me alone."

Luffy laughed. "You're not allowed to be left alone, Zoro. Nami says she doesn't want to clean up any more stuff."

Zoro flushed and coughed. "Anyway, that only happened after I became like this." He gestured to his tail. "It probably happens to other werewolves, too."

"Oh, that makes sense," Usopp said, nodding in agreement. His eyes widened. "Oh crap, Sanji!"

"That's what I was trying to tell you!" Zoro snapped.

Awoooooooo

The four of them fell silent at this rather eerie sound.

"Was that . . . ?" Nami asked.

Awooooooooooooooo

"It's him," Zoro said. "Go find him, Usopp."

"Okay, fine," Usopp muttered. "Hope he doesn't destroy the whole forest while he's upset . . ."

. . .

Sanji sat miserably against a tree, howling his lungs out. He occasionally stopped and simply whimpered in distress, only to resume his pitiful howling a minute later.

"Sanji!"

Sanji abruptly stopped howling and looked around. He saw Usopp coming out of the bushes and jumped up, his tail wagging furiously.

"Geez, there you are," Usopp said. He looked around. "Guess you don't mess stuff up when you get upset, huh?"

Sanji flushed. "I—um—"

Usopp grinned. "Don't worry about it, you probably can't help it. Sorry for leaving you alone! Let's go back to the ship!"

Sanji smiled and nodded. He and Usopp picked up the herbs and headed back to the Sunny.

"You have a beautiful singing voice, by the way," Usopp added.

Sanji growled.


"Sanji, what are we having for dinner?" Luffy whined, draping himself over the counter.

"Get off the counter," Sanji snapped. "We're having soup."

Luffy climbed off. "When's it gonna be ready?"

"Half an hour," Sanji said shortly. "Now get ou—ou—auh—"

He turned away from the pot and sneezed.

"Is someone talking about you?" Luffy asked.

Sanji sniffed and scowled. "That's just an old wives' tale." He turned back to the pot and started shredding more herbs, only to quickly set down the kitchen scissors and turn away to sneeze again.

"Damn, am I coming down with something?" he muttered. "I don't feel sick . . ."

"Should I get Chopper?" Luffy offered.

"Nah, don't bo—"

"Oi! Chopper!" Luffy yelled, sticking his head out the door. "Sanji needs you!"

Sanji muttered something unintelligible under his breath as Chopper came in.

"What's wrong?" Chopper demanded worriedly, staring at Sanji.

"Nothing, I'm just sneezing a lo—ou—ah—" Sanji sneezed again as he set down the scissors.

Chopper ran over and looked around. His eyes settled on the bits of herb Sanji was shredding. "It might be these," he said, pointing to the bits.

"Huh?" Sanji said.

"Your nose is a lot more sensitive as a werewolf," Chopper explained. "So you might be more sensitive to the smells of the herbs."

Sanji picked up a handful, sniffed it, and quickly dumped it in the pot as he turned to sneeze again.

"I think you're right," he muttered, sniffling. "Doesn't it affect you?"

Chopper shook his head. "Werewolves' noses are better than reindeers'. I'm a bit more sensitive to the smell, but it doesn't make me sneeze."

Sanji scowled. "Good to know. Thanks. Now get out."

Chopper sighed and left the kitchen.

Sanji glanced back at Luffy. "You too!"

Luffy scurried out.


Basically, each werewolf acts differently when left alone. Should the situations come up, I have the crew's temperament figured out. Here's what we have for the werewolves we've seen so far:

Luffy: Whines, mopes, rolls around

Zoro: Slightly destructive, nothing too serious (pulls cushions off couches, sheets off beds, knocks over chairs, etc.)

Sanji: Whines, howls

Luffy and Zoro also sometimes howl when left alone.
