You guys can name this chapter. I can't think of a good one. No seriously! Name this chapter and tell me what you came up with... annnd go! Wait! ...Read the chapter first lol. and I'll pick one of them later.
Days later the ship was caught in yet another thunderstorm.
"I'm hungry...," Pekoms said sliding across the deck as rein pored down on him. "Do something..."
"My too...," Chopper said hanging on to Pekoms foot and sliding with him. "Oh, I feel so weak..."
"We're losing weight...," Brook said setting on the deck with his spine (can't really say back because... well... he doesn't have one...) against the railing. "I don't have any flesh to lose though."
"The ship's gonna turn over!" Pedro said climbing the rigging. "Furl the sail!"
"I can't!" Brook, Chopper, Pekoms, and Carrot said.
"Can we really get to the Whole Cake Island like this?" Nami sighed as she maned the helm or at least tried to. "I'm starving...," She said before falling to the ground and Luffy stretched his armS to grab the helm and pulled her back up. She looked over to her captain who wasn't standing to far away.
"Hunger can't beat me!" Luffy said looking tired yet determined. "We'll rescue you at any cost, Sanji!"
"Why do I find that statement shocking?" Law asked lowering his hand after trying to form a room to teleport up to the sail to help Pedro but couldn't. "Sorry pmts Pedro-ya. But it seems unlike Straw Hat-ya, hunger seems to have already beaten me... or at least my Devil Fruit..."
'Don't do anything stupid and reckless!' Law 's pleading voice repeated in Sanji's mind as he stared up at the sky watching what he originally thought was snow but it wasn't cold. Shut up. I don't need or want you in my head right now, he thought to the imaginary Law as a piece of the fluffy Cotten landed in his palm.
"I thought it was snow but..."
"It's Cotton Candy Flurry-soir!" Came a voice from behind him.
"Bida, bida, bida"
"You're Transponder Snail won't stop ringing," Sanji said as he ate the little piece of Cotton Candy. "Sweet!" He muttered, thinking about how much Chopper would love this weather.
"It's receiving Warning Signals-bon. That means we're in Mama's territory already," Baron said.
Lovely. Just what I wanted to hear...
"Will those Warning Signals reach over there too?" He asked, looking towards a ship that looked like a cupcake with a smaller cupcake on top of it.
"You catch on quickly! That's TARTE 28. It's an outpost where a platoon from the Big Mom Pirates is standing ready! If this weren't one of Mama's ships, they'd attack us like 'boom'."
Sanji closed his eyes as a light breeze blew past him making his hair sway.
"Now, have you made up your mind? Don't be so stubborn." (This is Sanji we're talking about! Of course he's going to be stubborn! He was raised by Zeff what do you expect?! (But in this case he has every right to be stubborn and if anything he's not really the one being stubborn here...))
At that, Sanji glared at the sea in front of him.
"Just swear allegiance to us, Big Mom Pirates, along with Germa 66-bon. That's what your father wants-amour."
"Ngh!" Sanji said, clenching his teeth, at the use of the words 'your father'. He spun around to face the man for the fist time sense he came up behind him. "Don't talk about him! It makes me sick to my stomach!" He growled. "Our relationship has already been broken off!" He added putting a cigarette in his mouth and lighting it. "I only came to bring this to a close!"
'...let me be the one to help you if that day ever comes.'
I told you to shut up! He thought as he leaned back against the railing still trying to ignore Laws's voice that refused to stop echoing in his head.
Baron lifted the tea cup off his head and took a sip, "Don't try to act strong. Mama is in a more welcoming mood than you think. Of course, she knows you're that foolish Straw Hat's crew member. But she thinks highly of you for once being a chef at the Sea Restaurant in the East Blue-bon," he said before sitting in what looked to be a bag of gifts (or sweets). "You can get even better treatment depending on how well you cook-jour.
"SCREW THAT! LISTEN! THESE HANDS ARE ONLY MEANT TO COOK FOR MY FRIENDS!" he said raising one of his hands and then clinching his fist, "For that purpose, I even trained myself in hell!" He glared at Baron. "I can picture them missing my cooking and crying by now!" He said turned back to the sea. (Well at least half of them are, thanks to Luffy...!)
"That's absurd!" Baron laughed. (Or is it?!)
"You people don't even care that one of your friends was killed. I have no dish to cook for such assholes!"
"Oh, you're talking about Pekoms, Huh? He let his personal feelings interfere with his work. Bege did the right thing."
"Ngh."
"Tamago Baron," someone said as they walked to where Sanji and Baron were.
Great. This Idiot , again. I don't feel like dealing with him right now, Sanji sighed.
"Vito!" Baron said looking in the direction of his voice.
"We got a picture of Pudding-samba from Whole Cake Island-rero! So you can prepare yourself. They understand that it's hard to marry someone who you meet for the first time. It was so kind of them."
"It doesn't make any difference, Idiot! I'm not gonna get married!" He said still glaring at the sea.
"At least, take a look at it," Vito replied taking a few steps closer to Sanji.
"SHUT UP! STAY AWAY OR I'LL KICK YOU TO DEATH!"
"Well, come on," he said still walked closer.
"Cut it out...," Sanji said turning to him when he was finally right behind him to find the picture two inches from his face. His eyes widened and he dropped his cigarette.
