As always thank you so much for the wonderful reviews and to answer one of your questions, Yes I did have in mind the song "Rewrite the Stars" from "The Greatest Showmen". I love that song and I thought it fit this fan fiction well... No I think it fists Sanji (I n general) very well and Someone needs to make an AMV using that song! 3 lol Or even a cosplay music video where the Straw Hat's start singing it to Sanji, possibly with the other Vinsmoke's there (Niji and Yonji laughing their heads off more than likely). Of course the words would need changed a bit so it's not a romantic love song but a friendship love song but it still fits Sanji's situation during Whole Cake Island so well!


"Just like Kin'emon, we need time to prepare too," Nekomamushi said glancing back to Inuarashi, who gave a single nod of agreement.

"Okay, got it!" Luffy said, "Then, let's split up for now!"

"We will round up allies and plot a strategy in the Land of Wano," Kin'emon said.

"Are you gonna be okay there?" Zoro asked turning to the Samurai.

"We're fully aware of the risk," Konjuro interjected.

"But we're worried about our comrades there," Kin'emon added.

"The Land of Wano is occupied by Kaido now, right?" Brook asked. "You're chances of encountering the Beast Pirates are high and isn't it hard to even enter the country?"

"Can't you do something with your ninjutsu?" Usopp asked.

"It will be hard to use it against everyone," Raizo replied.

"I see," Usopp sighed.

"If you come on our submarine, you'll be safe while traveling," Law said as he stepped closer to the group, his eyes to the ground.

Robin looked at him, you promised your crew you'd go with Luffy.

"Oh, are you sure, Law-dono?!" Kin'emon smiled.

"We'd like that!" Raizo responded.

"Please take us!" Konjuro added.

"And... if you know a place to hide on the island, you'll be alright," Law said finally looking up. I can't just abandon my crew for someone that isn't one my crew... But...

"Yeah, Captain. We can wait to fight Kaido. We already agreed to that!"

"Did you think we were joking when we said we'd meet you at Wano?"

"Captain, if you want to go help Black Leg, then go..."

His crew's voices repeated in his head.

"I'll go look for Marco with my subordinates." Nekomamushi informed.

"Our final targets are the Shogun and Kaido," Inuarashi stated. "If Kin'emon and the others are headed there first, we'd better meet up in the Land of Wano."

"Let's make Kin'emon's Vivre Card."

"Okay! It's a deal!" Luffy agreed.

What are you doing Tra-guy! Say something! Robin thought her eyes never leaving the surgeon, his gaze distant, lost in thought.

"Uh-huh, understood," Kin'emon grunted.

"Don't get lost, guys," Zoro said walking way from the group.

"Look who's talking," Nami said, eyes closed and hand on her hip.

Just then the rest of the Mink tribe came running, Bepo in the lead with his arm around a panda mink. All of them happy to see Raizo safe. Pedro leaped, high up in the trees, from branch to branch, following the rest of the Minks. Wanda happily suggested having a feast to celebrate and Carrot stated that it was already ready.


They all walked back to the Mink's fort. Luffy chanting, "Banquet!" the entire way.

When they arrived, Nami stood in front of him, arms crossed, eyes closed, and head tilted to the ground. Luffy passed her still chanting.

"Banquet. Banquet. Banquet."

"Wait, Luffy," Nami said wrapping her arms around his neck. "We've already had a banquet! Let's get going! It's gonna be too late to save Sanji-kun!

"What?! Are you coming?!" Luffy asked, his face abnormally scrunched up as he looked up to Nami as she held on to him so he couldn't move.

"Of course, I'm coming with you! I feel responsible. Besides, do you think you can travel the sea of the New World without a navigator?"

"I'm coming too!" Chopper demanded. "Pekoms is heavily injured! He needs a doctor!"

"Plus," Brook began placing a foot on a boulder and strumming a cord on his guitar, "who is going to play music when you guys feel down?" He then began singing the song about Nekomamushi he had written earlier.

"Who need that?" Nami asked.

"Hey! Don't exclude me!" Brook said, eye sockets narrowed. "We both allowed them to take Sanji-san!"

"Kin'emon, do you mind if I take them with me?"

"You don't need my permission! They're your crew! And no one can stop someone who is trying to save his friend! I wish I could come along! I'm in debt to Sanji-dono! I'm sorry!

Can I really go too? That's a lot of people for just sneaking in... Anymore could be too dangerous.

"Now it's getting hard to sneak in," Franky said as if reading Law's mind. "Get out of there as soon as you screw up the wedding!"

"We're gonna go along with Kin'emon so you take care of Sanji!" Usopp said, also reading Law's mind.

"Uh-huh," Chopper nodded.

"Count on us," Nami smiled.

Robin shot another glance to Law before walking up to her captain, "Oh, Luffy."

"Robin, are you gonna go with them?!" Usopp asked.

"In case you find a Ponegliff, can you take a rubbing for me?"

"Okay!" Luffy agreed.

"So light-hearted," Usopp gasped.

"I'll do research on the Ponegliff that Kaido has in the Land of Wano too," Robin stated happily, but concerned as to why Law still hasn't said anything about going too.

"Great! Alright! Is that all for now?"

Everyone besides Law nodded.

If I don't go I'll break not just my promise to Sanji but also my crew! But if I do go I'll not only be abandoning my crew once again but also risking successfully rescuing Sanji without getting caught! That alone could put us in life threatening danger but worst of all Sanji! What am I gonna do?! My crew said it was okay if I went... but is it really?

Law was lost in his mental argument with himself. He scarcely herd Nekomamushi say something about a banquet when all the sudden he sensed a powerful presents approtching You. Zoro sensed it too, along with Luffy, Nekomamushi, and Inuarashi.

"What's wrong?" Nami asked.

"What is it?" Nekomamushi said, his ears perking up as the fur on his tail stood up.

Inuarashi lifted an ear to listen better.

All the other Mink's began to feel uneasy.

"What?! What?!" Usopp asked. (Usopp you have Observation Haki now sooooo... shouldn't you be sending this too?)

Zunesha let out a cry of severe pain as the island shook causing everyone to lose their balance and nearly fall of the back of the giant elephant, as cannons fired. Some of them managed to hang on to the ground or trees, Nami clung to Luffy, who lost his balance for a brief moment when Brook flew into him. The whale tree shifted as a cloud of dust and dirt emerged from the ground around it. A building began falling right in the direction that Bepo, Penguin, Ikkaku, and seven other members of Law's crew. There was no way the four were going to be able to get out of the way in time and they knew it, so did Law.

"Room!" Law said creating a room around them as quickly as he could. "Shambles!"

"Captain!" They said after being telliported behind Law and pilled on top of each other.


"I think we finally lost them," Nami said her arm around Momo who was clinging to her side.

"Great job guys. I think that should please Luffy," Sanji said with a smile as he watched the horizon.

"And Franky. The Sunny didn't even get a scratch, Yo-ho-ho!"

"Sanji?" Chopper said walking up behind him.

"Hmm?" Sanji said looking over his shoulder to the small reindeer.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Of course!" Sanji said jumping down from the Sunny's railing, as his eyes narrowed, unsure as to why the doctor would think he had to ask. "What is it?"

"Earlier... Tra-guy was upset with you for fighting Doflamingo..."

"...?...!"

"Yeah... I was wondering that myself," Nami chimed. "What was up with that... I never thought I'd see the day were you would let a man rest his head on your chest..."

"..."

"But you let Tra-guy...," Chopper added.

"What did he mean 'stop thinking so little of yourself' and why did he just collapse into you like he felt completely helpless...?"

"Oh... umm... that... Well..." Sanji could feel himself beginning to panic... They had him cornered... trapped... unable to get out of this one... His own friends were leaving him with no room to fight his way out of the situation... ! That could work... Maybe... "You see... I wanted to kick him... and I was going to but... Doflamingo and the Marines were coming after us... so I figured it wasn't the time or place for that... Not to mention Law is our ally and I didn't want to do anything to cause trouble for the alliance... I'll kick him for that... but, obviously, I'll do it when we meet back up at Zou."

"Oh, that makes sense," Chopper smiled.

"Now why can't you be like that with Zoro when we're in situations like that?" Nami replied.

"I'm going to go make something to eat," Sanji said in an attempt to change the subject.


The memory played threw Sanji's mind as he mixed more sugar water for the butterfly. He didn't want to make to much at a time and end up having it get full and waist the rest of it but he didn't want it to starve to death either. So he made very small amounts at a time, somehow know when it was still hungry.

Better in here then being in the same room as Caeser, he thought placing the cup back down for the butterfly. "I feel like I've seen you before," he muttered to it as it drank the sweet water.
