Rated M for Violence, Language, Smoking, The Destruction Of Government Property, and Some Very Detailed Lemons!
I don't own One Piece! This world belongs to Eiichiro Oda and these amazing characters are his. My OC'S and this story, however, are my own! This is a work of fiction from me, any relevance to the real world or other works is purely coincidental.
Hello, all my amazing fans! I am so sorry for the long wait. The crazy thing is… all my hard work was nearly obliterated in a flash as my computer had a stroke (best way to explain it). Unknown to me, my cloud backups weren't current and I almost lost two months' worth of work on this and other stories. Yikes! (Don't worry I have taken the time, money, and effort to back everything up properly moving forward.) I took my computer to a large chain electronics store that has "support" and they basically told me they wouldn't do anything (not couldn't, wouldn't). I've pre-paid for a year of service so this was a pointless waste of my money and time. Luckily, I found a local tech wizard with his own small business (seriously this guy is amazing!) and after several days of very hard work, he was able to fix my computer with all my files intact! I am forever grateful for his help, so this chapter is dedicated to him! Praise the tech gods and may my monetary sacrifice appease the great tech wizard!
Thank you! ~From Star

Sanji
Sanji took another drag from his cigarette, letting the flavor roll off his tongue and spill from his mouth. His eyes scanned the situation, once again taking stock of his odds. Ten large men and one woman stood in the center of town, surrounding Luffy. The men appeared similar, all covered in massive black-lined tattoos and carrying various weapons. Mainly large mallets. Sea prism chains were wrapped around Luffy's body, preventing him from fighting back.
The woman pulled a transponder snail from her jacket pocket. Her small frame and short stature were illuminated by the orange glow of slowly fading sunlight. Sanji watched in appreciation, though she certainly wasn't as curvy as his Nami was. A smile played at her lips before she lifted the snail and Sanji felt his body tense. The snail was painted in white and blue stripes, distinguishing it as Navy property.
"Yeah, I've got one more for you," the woman spoke. "I hope you brought enough for his bounty, hahaha."
"I refuse to re-negotiate our terms, Ms. Aly," the snail relayed. "But okay."
The woman laughed again, "Hahaha I always did like you. This is quite the nice deal we have going here, Captain Lee."
"I refuse to acknowledge any deal," Lee's voice replied. "But yes, it is."
Sanji sighed; the appearance of the Navy was going to make things even more difficult. He'd have to free his captain and get out of here before that happened. Sanji stretched his legs, preparing for his strategic rescue. If everything went according to plan, he wouldn't need to face off against the woman.
"I refuse to acknowledge where we are," the snail continued. "But see you very soon. 'Click'."
Sanji internally cursed his luck, damn if the Navy wasn't already on top of them. This was going to have to go quick.
"Hey!" Luffy shouted though it weaned at the end. Probably due to the sea prism stone in his chains. "Let me out and fight me! You dirty cheater!"
"Not a chance, do you have any idea how much you are worth kid?" Ms. Amy huffed.
"Yeah," some guy added from beside her. "It took too many of us to get you in there."
"At least get me some more of that meat!" Luffy shouted before starting to slump. "I'm going to eat it once the world stops…. stops…. spinning."
Sanji took a final drag from his cigarette before dropping it onto the thin line of black dust. The fizzling started almost instantly as the sparks followed the line. Sanji lunged forward the moment he heard the first string of explosions. Finding those barrels full of gunpowder had been his saving grace. As everyone in the clearing turned to face the explosions and sudden appearance of fire starting on the far side of the clearing, Sanji rushed in from the opposite direction. He reached Luffy quickly, fingers gripping the cold chain as he yanked his captain onto his shoulder with a grunt.
"Sanji!" Luffy cried.
"Keep quiet!" Sanji countered, doing his best to keep his momentum going forward despite the added load. That was until a womanly figure stood in his way, halting him. Sanji froze as more dark figures emerged from the smoke, blocking any exits.
"Did you think we wouldn't be prepared for a surprise attack like that?" Ms. Amy's voice chuckled as the last explosions died down. "Who do you think we are?"
Sanji felt his face twist into a glare. Ms. Amy had appeared to be the leader of this insane town; he'd wrongly assumed that she'd be commanding the effort to stop the fires. Or at least racing off to stop them herself. Even if she hadn't, just moving quickly enough to leave the clearing before she figured it out would have been enough. Instead, she'd predicted his movements before he'd even made them. Just who the hell were these people?
"Looks like we'll have another bounty boys," Ms. Amy giggled. "You're wanted poster doesn't do you justice Black Leg."
Sanji felt his face fall into a frown at the reminder of that damn wanted poster.
"Don't worry, I'll give you a fighting chance," Ms. Amy continued, pulling a small key from her jacket pocket, "Here's what you'll need to free that troublesome captain of yours." She then tucked the key down between her breasts and grinned. "Good luck."
"Behind you," Luffy warned and Sanji quickly turned to find a man who had been trying to sneak up on him. He dodged the man's massive scythe just before kicking the opponent's leg, hard. The large guy stumbled to his right leaving Sanji the opportunity to back out of the men circling him and gain some distance. All the distance in the world wasn't going to free his captain though. He needed a new plan, and quickly.
