Bandit- (grins) I'm happy! I have new reviewers! (dances) My story's not a complete failure!
Zoro- (scowls) So that basically means I'll be stuck with you for a while, doesn't it?
Sanji- Oh joy. (glares at reviewers) Thanks a lot, you traitors.
Disclaimer- I'm not creative enough to come up with the entire OP plot. I'm just sneaky enough to use it to my advantage…
(A/N)- Sanji and Luffy get off on the wrong foot, but that's quickly solved (you'll see what I mean). There be fightin' ahead! Watch out for flying feet and bad tempers!
The first thing he did when he broke out into the sunlight was smirk. It was noon and his assistants had lost him. How sad was that?
'Geeze. They're losing their touch already. I might need to get new assistants…' It was much more interesting when they actually came close to finding his nap spot. Oh well. Like he really gave a fucking crap about it.
People walked by him in a hurry, barely sparing him a glance as if he weren't important. That was just the way he liked it, of course. Still, it'd be funny to see their reactions if they knew he was a good reason they were even alive at this time of day. Funny indeed.
He'd barely gotten across the street when a series of shouts and yells were heard, momentarily disrupting the busy crowd. The dark haired man just rolled his eyes, adjusted his hat and kept walking. Those people really needed to chill. It wasn't as if he'd be gone all afternoon…
Zoro had seen quite a bit in his short life, but this almost topped them all. In a mixture of horror, amusement, disgust, and pure fascination, the swordsman watched Luffy scarf down each and every morsel put on the table, including his own meal. He'd been too worried he'd lose his hand, no… his fuckin' arm, to chance grabbing for it. Already Luffy was done with half of his food…
And still going strong.
"How can you eat all that?" he asked, his eyes unable to look away as the meal disappeared into the void known as Monkey D. Luffy.
"It's good!" Well, that's what Zoro thought the kid said. Pieces of food and spit were his real answer, and Zoro leaned back to avoid the spray. "You should try some!" Luffy mumbled through his meat.
'And have you eat my arm? Forget it.' Food wasn't worth that type of pain.
At Zoro's refusing nod, Luffy shrugged and dug into the ribs. Oh well, more for him.
Other customers stared at their table, some too sick from the spectacle to continue eating and others placing bets to see if Luffy could indeed finish his meal. Zoro could already tell some people had lost quite a bit of money from the incredulous looks and downcast expressions. As for him… well, the fact Luffy had eaten this much so far proved appearances weren't everything.
Luffy let out a particularly loud belch and Zoro winced. God, that was just nasty…
"U-Uhh… Sirs." Zoro glanced up, surprised there was a waiter brave enough to get this close to the table. "I-is there anything else you'd like? Maybe something to drink?"
"Coffee," the swordsman ordered, then glanced at Luffy. "I don't think he'll need anything…"
Before the man could retreat, Luffy turned in his direction and started mumbling something, spittle flying out and attacking the waiter. "W-what?" he stuttered, wanting to back away.
"Err… Just ignore him," the swordsman said quickly. The waiter took his word for it and ran like hell.
Luffy's brows knitted in a pout, and he began to spit at Zoro again. Zoro held up a hand before the kid could get a word in. "Luffy, I'm begging you to swallow." The boy blinked in confusion, and then his face cleared in understanding. He gulped loudly, the mound of chewed food in his mouth traveling down his throat until it hit his stomach. Zoro could almost hear the splash.
"I was gonna order more! I don't think this food's gonna be enough…" Luffy stated.
"Luffy… You still have half your order to go through… Shouldn't you wait?" In response the straw hat kid grinned and shook his head.
"Why? If I order now, the food will come sooner. That's the way it works, right?"
Zoro wasn't sure what to say. "Well… yes…" he said slowly.
"Then I'm ordering more when the waiter comes back," Luffy concluded, his mind made up.
All Zoro could do was shake his head and sigh. 'Not my problem,' he decided. All he was supposed to do was make sure the kid got back to the dojo in one piece, not pay for his meal.
A sharp tap on his shoulder sent Zoro into alert mode, his skin prickling from shock. 'DAMN! That fuckin' cook snuck up on me!' Fast as lightning he punched out so Sanji wouldn't get the first strike in… and hit an abnormally long nose…
"SHIT!"
The cry was loud enough to avert Luffy's attention, if only for a moment. Zoro felt himself grin sheepishly as Usopp crumbled to the floor in pain. "Sorry about that Usopp…"
In a flash the long-nosed man was back on his feet, tears shining in his eyes and nose slightly bent, but otherwise alright. "It's fine! The Great Usopp feels no pain!" He laughed brazenly, almost swaying from the throbbing ache. Damn, that had hurt!
Zoro narrowed his eyes. "If it hurts, there's not need to hide it." He eyed Usopp's appearance, but decided not to ask why there were pieces of dishes sticking out of his body. He didn't want to know. "Do you know where that shitty cook is?"
Usopp dropped his act quickly. "That's what I came to tell you! He's pissed, and all I can say is I hope you brought your swords." By the way Zoro's face was draining of color, Usopp correctly guessed that the green haired man hadn't thought of that. "Well, then I'd get out of here now!"
The older man nodded. "Thanks. I owe you." He stood up and turned to Luffy. "Kid, you're gonna have to have them deliver your meal or something. We have to leave. Now." He didn't need a fight with Sanji right now. Not that the cook could beat him. HELL no. It just wouldn't be very convenient… He had a class to get back to, after all.
Normally, Luffy would've listened, but food was involved in the decision. No contest as to what took priority. "I'm still eating. I'll find my way back later." With that, he grabbed a drumstick and stuffed it into his mouth.
Zoro felt his eyebrow twitch. "Luffy I'm serious. You don't know the way back, and I'm not having your older brother suing my ass."
"Uh… Zoro…" Usopp started.
"I can't leave! They're about to bring more of my order!"
"Zoro…"
"Damnit Luffy! Get you ass up and let's go!"
Usopp sighed and backed away from the arguing men, knees shaking. 'I tried…'
"Yo. Usopp." The teen turned around to see Becci balancing plates on her arms. The woman was barely holding the mammoth sized plates up. "Mind helping me with these?"
"Becci, drop them and run."
"Huh?" She shot him an odd look until she glanced behind his shoulder. Dishes crashed to the floor and the food spilt everywhere, but both Becci and Usopp were long gone in search of a good hiding spot and front row seats.
"Luffy, would you stop arguing! I'll knock you unconscious if I have to!" Zoro yelled, failing to notice Usopp's retreat. "Damn it, we're leaving now!"
The threats fell on deaf ears as Luffy stared over Zoro's shoulder with a curious look. Hm, who was that blonde man with a ugly scowl on his face? Luffy knew that look; someone was gonna get their ass kicked. "Hey Zoro?"
"What Luffy?" Zoro snapped.
"Um… I think you pissed off that blonde guy."
Zoro's face went blank with confusion, and by the time he figured it out his back felt like it had cracked in ten different places. His body went flying onto the table and crashing into some of Luffy's food to both the boy's surprise and confusion. The force of the attack caused the entire table to moan in protest before a loud snap was heard, and the table fell to the ground in a heap, taking Zoro with it.
"Zoro, why did you let yourself get hit?" Luffy cried out, a bit disappointed. He hadn't thought his sensei would be so weak. How sad…
Sanji glared heatedly at the body covered in food, his anger not yet sated. "I'm gonna make sure you can't walk for a week, shithead." He practically inhaled his cigarette with his nerves on overdrive. "I never thought you'd be stupid enough to come in here."
"Shitty cook!" Zoro jumped out of the mess while his back screamed in protest. "You snuck up on me! And I was just leaving, you piece of shit!"
Sanji smirked nastily and readied for another kick. "Oh really? Then let me escort you out via my foot!"
Zoro, swordless and pissed as hell, brought his fists up in defense. Just because he didn't have his weapons didn't mean he'd retreat. Roronoa Zoro did not retreat. He might get his ass kicked a bit, but damn it, he'd make Sanji bleed like a stuffed pig. "Bring it, you pansy!" He picked up a piece of the broken table and hurled it at Sanji. While the blonde was distracted, he moved away, looking for anything he could use to his advantage.
Luffy watched all this in excitement, happy he'd get a show with his dinner. Zoro was gonna kick the blonde guy's ass! He could barely stay in his seat. Now he'd know just how good Zoro really was! Still bouncing happily, he reached out for a piece of his meal, the anticipation bring his hunger back tenfold. Sadly, the events that had occurred moments before failed to register in his brain, leaving a nasty surprise in store for the straw hat kid.
His hand met air.
In confusion, Luffy looked down, only to see his beloved meat strewn on the floor like insignificant dirt. "WAHH! MY MEAT!" he cried out, not understanding how something this horrid could be possible. "WHO DID THIS TO MY MEAT?"
Zoro and Sanji were both locking eyes with each other and ignoring the outburst. That was a huge mistake on their part. They were about to find out that when Luffy's upset, you either fix the problem or face the consequences.
The boy's pupils shrank in rage, not wanting to look at the heartbreaking sight below him. His brain struggled to replay the event that had destroyed his precise meat. First, he'd been walking down the street and he saw the dojo, so he decided to join… Next, he met Zo-- 'Wait… I think I can skip that part,' he told himself, the almost non-existent smart part of his brain deciding to help out for once. 'Fast forward, dummy!' it said.
Okay, they had arrived at the restaurant. Zoro and he had talked about something with ages and food, then the order arrived…. Mmmm. There had been ribs drowned in BBQ and tender steaks and beef and homemade chicken and-- N-no! 'Focus, you ignoramus! Anger, now! Meat, later!'
Then Zoro had said some more stuff with leaving and then this long nosed kid came and ran. Then the blonde came and kicked Zoro in the back, sending him sailing into his food! Luffy gasped. So it was Zoro's fault! He was so gonna kick his ass!
'… Try again…' the intelligent part of him sighed.
Luffy's face scrunched up from concentration. Okay… because the blonde made Zoro fly into his food, wasn't that the blonde's fault? But Zoro was supposed to be strong! How could he had not seen that attack coming? Luffy had seen it; that Usopp guy had seen it. The restaurant had seen it! True, Zoro wasn't facing that direction, and blonde had snuck up on him… but those were minor details that could be overlooked. So was it Zoro's fault too for being an idiot? Then who was he supposed to beat up?
"Nghhh… My head hurts," Luffy declared. The smart part of him gave up and crawled back into the darkness of Luffy's mind. The boy was on his own.
While Luffy struggled to come to a satisfactory conclusion, Sanji and Zoro were already in the middle of their own mini war. Sanji was a relentless force, almost giddy at being able to attack Zoro without fear of getting nicked. His feet aimed for every tender spot on Zoro's body, whether it be the groin, the mouth, the temple… He was going for blood. Kicking the swordsman's ass would make this day worthwhile.
Zoro was much less enthused. His lust for a good fight drowned out a deal of the negative factors, but it couldn't be ignored that Sanji was a force to be reckoned with, even more so when weaponless. Trying to even the odds, he threw anything he could grab; that included tables, chairs, maybe even people if they weren't quick enough to get out of the way… All the while Sanji kicked whatever was thrown at him and kept on coming. He had gotten maybe one good punch in while Sanji was tearing into his flesh apart with those damn loafers! While he refused to admit defeat, this battle would be hard if he didn't get some kind of weapon in his hand. Butter knives and forks weren't cuttin' it right now.
"Something wrong, Zoro?" Sanji sneered. He was able to move closer to his prey, kicking for the head. "You look a little flushed. Maybe you should take a breather."
Zoro blocked it with his right arm, feeling the forearm immediately bruise. "You're seeing things, cook. Be worried about yourself!" To Sanji's surprise, Zoro didn't punch out with his left arm as predicted. No, that damn Marimo kicked him… He had just enough time to move back so the attack didn't get his jewels, but the acute pain in his stomach was no laughing matter. Sanji wheezed from the pain and forced himself to do a minor retreat away from Zoro, at least until he got his breath back.
Zoro wasn't having it. He ran after Sanji like a hound on a trail and lashed out with his fists, hoping for a quick win. In their wake, a mass of destruction was left; tables were overturned, food was laid strewn everywhere, silverware and plates sticking out of the stained, carpeted floor… the list kept going. Zeff would probably have a heart attack if he didn't kill Sanji first.
Those who remained in the Baratie backed away from the fight and cheered on the sidelines for their favorite fighter. Usopp and Becci were among the watchers, their faces poking out of the kitchen door. Becci was cursing each time Sanji got hit, damning Zoro's existence for attacking the hot blonde. "Come on, Sanji! Block, now hit! Yes, there's an o-- NO! Duck, stupid! DUCK!"
Usopp winced at Sanji's bruised body, but didn't cheer at all. Hmph, served the blonde right for kicking him earlier… 'Oh, it's not like Zoro and him are seriously fighting…' Of course not! They just were letting loose some steam… No need to be worried about that idiot blonde's well-being… Nope. No need. Everything was just fine…
"Sanji!" Usopp screamed, "what the hell are you doing? Stop playing around and beat his ass in!" No, he wasn't worried at all.
The blonde heard his friends' cry and smirked at Zoro while blocking another punch with his right leg. He lashed out in a fierce forward kick to dislodge the man. "Hear that? I can't lose now. I've got a beautiful lady and a liar hoping for my victory."
"Like I give a fuck!" Zoro heaved, almost out of breath. Damn it, he really wished he had brought his swords. How the hell could he forget those? 'Oi, coffee,' he mutter in his mind. His mornings never went the way he wanted them to without that black liquid… Not that a cup would help him now. 'Shit, this is bad…' His back hurt, his arms ached from blocking and hitting, his groin screamed against any high kick he attempted and usually failed to make (how did Sanji stand it?)…He needed a miracle… Fast.
And then suddenly, a savior appeared before him in the form of a teen wearing a straw hat, right smack dab in front of a charging Sanji.
"LUFFY! WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?"
Sanji halted to a stop. "Huh? Who the hell is this?" The black haired boy just stared at him blankly before making his way over to him. "Kid, I'd get out of the way. I'm kinda busy right now." He waved an arm at Zoro's direction. "That guy needs to be taught a lesson, so I'm playing teacher. Get lost."
Luffy didn't stop walking until he was right in front of Sanji. He wasn't frowning or smiling, just a blank, passive expression plastered on his face. "You made Zoro crash into my meal," he stated, like it was something Sanji should be concerned about. "All my meat's on the floor."
The chef shrugged. "And? It's not like you don't have more food on the way. If it makes you that angry, have Zoro pay for it later… if he's still alive by then."
Luffy kept staring, then announced, "I don't like you."
He aimed and punched Sanji in the mouth.
The entire restaurant went into an uproar. Bets were placed as to how fast the straw hat kid would die, if he'd die slowly, and if Sanji leave enough of the body to be identified later. Becci and Usopp kept their eyes on the exit; if the restaurant came down when the cook lost it, they'd have a clear shot at freedom. Zoro stood there and gawked.
Sanji might have been shocked, but he didn't miss a beat. His foot came swinging out from the left and neatly caught the side of Luffy's face, sending the boy kissing some wall away from the action. His face howled in pain while his mind was numb with rage. Someone had hit him…him … in the face… his face. "That little shit is gonna die…"
Those words snapped Zoro out of his reverie; Sanji could get away with killing him, but there was no way Zoro would be able to explain how Luffy died on his watch. He could smell the lawsuits coming. "Sanji, don't touch him! He's my student!"
"I'll get you a new one!" Sanji snapped back, marching to where Luffy lay. "I'll even pay for this one's funeral!"
In the distant corner where Luffy had been thrown, the debris shifted as the teen picked himself up and dusted off his outfit. "Wow, mister. You're really strong." He looked up and grinned at Sanji. "That's cool. At least you're not a wimp like Zoro."
Of all the things Sanji had expected, that wasn't on the list. He stopped short, stuttering in disbelief. Well… this was the first time someone had complimented him during a fight… He wasn't quite sure if he should be angry or amused. 'Who the hell is this kid?' He'd never seen Zoro hang out with any of his students… and if he did, Sanji didn't think they'd look so damn innocent. What was going on?
"WHAT? I'M NOT A WIMP!" Zoro screamed, waving his hands in the air. "DID YOU NOT SEE ME KICKING SANJI'S ASS?"
Luffy looked over at Zoro and blinked. "No. I didn't know you guys were fighting. Did I interrupt?" Luffy smiled and backed away so Zoro had Sanji in his line of vision. "Okay, you can fight again!"
It was too ridiculous. A gurgle snaked its way up Sanji's throat until he could hold it no longer. The man lowered his head and snorted with laughter.
Luffy had no idea why Sanji was laughing, but he joined in anyway, holding his hat and laughing to the ceiling.
Zoro didn't appreciate the laughing, so he shouted at both of them to shut up, insisting he was far from weak and twice as strong as Sanji. People started crawling out from under their tables and kept a safe distance from the three men in the center of the half-destroyed restaurant, feeling the danger in the air evaporate like water. Safe to say this was the last time many of them would be dining at the Baratie… well, not on Tuesdays anyway.
The laughter finally seeped out of his system, leaving Sanji grinning at the teen in front of him. "What's your name, kid?" he chuckled.
"I'm Monkey D. Luffy!" Luffy grinned back. "And I guess your name's Sanji."
Interesting name… Nothing he'd name his kid, but still intriguing. "Yeah, that's me… So… you think Zoro's a wimp?" Sanji said, speaking loud so said swordsman could hear him. "You are one sharp kid."
"Yeah. He's my sensei, but I thought he was a lot stronger." That disappointed look came back in Luffy's brown eyes as they settled on the seething Zoro. "But not like you. That kick made my face hurt!" Luffy laughed again, finding the whole thing funny. Indeed, a purple bruise was starting to form on the grinning boy's face.
Sanji pulled out another cigarette; he'd dropped the other one when Luffy punched him. "You're not so bad yourself, Luffy. Pretty strong for such skinny arms. You could show the shithead a thing or two." Hell yeah he could teach Zoro how to punch; it was gonna take a good week for this shiner to disappear.
"WOULD YOU TWO STOP TALKING LIKE I'M NOT HERE?"
"Hm? Did you hear something Luffy?" Sanji asked, egging Zoro on.
"Oh, that was Zoro," Luffy explained and pointed to the swordsman. Sanji lifted a curled eyebrow but kept silent. Okay… this one didn't know what sarcasm was.
"Wow! That was one hell of a fight!" Usopp came jogging up from the kitchen door, smiling now that the danger had past and death didn't hang in the air. "I didn't know who to cheer for!"
Zoro came closer, still sulking. "Yeah, that's why I hear you cheer for Sanji." Usopp stuttered out some half-cooked apology, trying to pay no attention to Sanji's teasing glance.
Luffy looked at the long-nosed man. "Hey, who are you?"
"He's the village idiot," Sanji said, getting a punch in the arm for his joke.
"Oh, shut up!" Usopp snapped, and then he turned to Luffy. "I'm the Great Usopp, owner of this restaurant!"
Sanji face faulted. God damn liar…
Luffy's interest perked. "Really? This is a nice restaurant you have here. The meat's great!"
The teen puffed out his chest proudly. It had been a while since he'd come across someone stup-- err… naive enough to believe his tales. "Well, of course! With all the chefs under my command, we strive to serve our customers to the best of ou-- OUCH!" Usopp rubbed his sore noggin. "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?"
Sanji lowered his foot. "You don't command me, jackass," Sanji drawled, blowing out a cloud of smoke. "And you certainly don't own this restaurant. You're a lowly waiter at the bottom of the food chain." The blonde's friend stuck out his lip, his fun effectively ruined.
"Yeah, well he didn't know that…" Usopp muttered.
"Um… you guys?" Becci called out as she tentatively stepped over near the men, trying not to trip over a splintered table leg. "Err… I hate to interrupt but…" She cast a glance around her. "After the fight, the boss told everyone to clean the restaurant up. If it's not clean in an hour, we all lose two weeks worth of pay." It was then everyone noticed the extent of the damage around them.
"Wait…" Luffy scratched his head in confusion. "So Usopp isn't the owner?" Everyone stared at him in amazement before effectively tuning the boy out. That question didn't even deserve an answer.
Usopp's eyes bulged out. "You have to be shitting me! I need that money!" He danced around like he had to pee and took off, picking up random pieces of debris on the way and damning Sanji to hell.
"Oh, don't worry Becci!" Sanji swooned, hearts in place. "I'm sure Zeff wouldn't dock the pay of such a beautiful young lady such as yourself! And if he does, I'll give you mine!"
Becci turned red. "Thanks Sanji," she said shyly. "But… Zeff said that he was already gonna dock all your paycheck."
Sanji's heart eyes popped.
"WHAT?"
Becci backed away like a frightened animal. "He said he'll need it to pay for all the broken tables and dents in the walls from today's fight."
In complete rage, Sanji did the first thing that came to mind. He whirled on Zoro. "YOU!" he snarled. "IF YOU HADN'T COME HERE WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND, NONE OF THIS WOULD'VE HAPPENED!"
Zoro, still put off from Luffy's earlier accusation, stiffened up and shouted back, "HE'S MY STUDENT! I DON'T DATE!"
"OH, MY MISTAKE! I FORGOT I'M TALKING TO MR. ASEXUAL HERE!"
"OH, SHOVE IT YOU PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A PIMP! I'LL SHRED YOU TO PIECES!"
By now their faces were inches from each other, neither wanting to back down. "WITH WHAT? YOUR TOENAILS?" Sanji sneered. "I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED! YOU CAN HARDLY GROOM YOURSELF AS IT IS!"
"AT LEAST I DON'T SPEND FUCKING ETERNITY IN THE BATHROOM!"
"AT LEAST I WIPE AFTER I TAKE A SHIT!"
A rumbling explosion interrupted them before Zoro had time to counter, and the two slowly turned their heads to the source.
"Oi." Luffy rubbed his stomach as it gurgled. The tiny fight with Sanji had drained the rest of his energy. He needed food! "When will the rest of my order be here?" he whined to the waitress and the two men. "I'm so hunnnggggrrryyy!"
The blonde woman stared at him in disbelief. 'He's still hungry?' What a strange boy… "Um… I don't know if there's anyone to get your food. Most everyone's trying to hurry and clean up."
Sanji sighed, the fight draining out of him. "Oh, I'll cook for him." He had nothing better to do. He'd lost this week's pay, so like hell was he cleaning up.
Luffy cheered and danced in circles. "You're so cool, Sanji! You can cook and kick ass!" Zoro hissed in distaste, turning away to glare hatefully at the dented walls.
Becci beamed at him. "Wow, that's pretty nice of you, Sanji, considering the fact he punched you in the face." The cook's heart did a summersault, and he practically gushed hearts and compliments at the girl.
"Of course I would, my dear Becci! I'm a gentleman. He just better leave me a decent tip!"
"Oh, I don't have any money," Luffy replied cheerfully. "Sorry."
Everyone's jaw dropped to the floor. "WHAT?" Zoro started to swallow his tongue.
"Zoro's treating me!" Luffy said, smiling at their shocked faces. "He's paying for my meal!"
"LLLLLLLLUUUUUUUUUFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"
