Zoro hated witches and he was sure this one would be no different.
He entered the shop and was immediately put off by the first sign that he read.
Prices.
50 Beli a minute. Fortune telling 800 Beli. Supernatural consultations 1,500 Beli. Extra costs may apply.
This was way overpriced!
He knew that this witch was apparently a friend of Robin's but he already felt skeptical.
He rang the bell at the front desk and a beautiful redhead came out of the back. He couldn't believe his eyes, he had seen her before! In his dream that the succubus kept changing forms Sanji had turned into her.
"Looking at me like that is gonna cost you an extra 75 Beli."
Yeah, he already didn't like her, "That's stupid. It's just I've seen you before."
She crossed her arms and leveled him with a look, "Being a stalker is gonna cost you an extra 1000 Beli."
"What no! I'm here because I'm being tormented by a succubus. He was changing forms trying to seduce me and one of the forms was you."
"A succubus huh? What did he look like?" The witch looked pretty pissed.
"About my height, pale, blue eyes, and the weirdest looking swirly eyebrows."
The witch slammed her hands down on the table, "And he made himself look like me to try and seduce you?"
Zoro wasn't sure what else he could do besides just nod, do that's what he did.
"Sanji!" The witch screamed, "Get your ass over here right now!" She pulled a weird rod out that had been attached to her hip, swirled it around and pointed it into the air. Black clouds gathered in the shop before there was a flash of lightning.
The brightness of the lightning faded and there stood Sanji. The succubus didn't seem to notice him right away. "Nami~" Sanji cried out in joy, reaching out to embrace her before her staff slammed hard into the side of the demon's face.
"I love this side of you too, my beautiful angel!"
Nami's eyebrow twitched in anger, "Care to explain why you're using my appearance to try and seduce this guy!" She pointed angrily at Zoro.
Sanji finally seemed to notice the green haired man, "What are you doing here Marimo?"
"Trying to get rid of your shitty ass!" Zoro hissed out angrily.
"Your the one who fucked up the contract! You summoned me and then wrote down your name. If either of us should be pissed it's me!"
Nami's hand slammed hard on the succubus's head, "First thing first, if you use my appearance you have to pay for it. It will cost you 15,000 Beli with a 25% interest rate."
"I'll pay you back my dove."
Zoro couldn't help but facepalm, "Oi, aren't you supposedly the succubus here? Isn't this a little reversed?"
Nami glared at Zoro, "What's your problem? I don't take kindly to people bullying my friends. Sanji is a really nice person-"
"Demon" Zoro interrupted.
"Don't cut people off when they are talking!" Nami yelled at him. "I don't think you even realize how many problems you've caused! You don't seem to care or even think about anyone else other than yourself!"
"Look here witch, don't go around assuming shit all on your own. I do care about people, but demons are not people! If you care about a demon, that means you're falling for their lies! Demons don't have souls or hearts!"
"Hey you shitty bastard" Sanji flicked on a golden lighter, lighting a cigarette in his mouth, "Don't ever raise your voice at a lady like that." His tone was stern and cold, there was a threat in the demon's blue eyes.
Zoro met the glare head on with one of his own, "I don't see any lady here."
At lightning speed the succubus jumped into the air, a foot flying towards Zoro's face that he was hardly able to block with his forearm. Zoro pulled out a katana and assessed the demon in front of him. That kick was a lot stronger than any kick he had ever felt before. Maybe he had underestimated the demon, but he had always heard that succubus were the weakest of demons.
"No, you two are not fighting here." Nami pushed both of them out of the building, "I'll call you up later, but you too should really get to know each other, because you two are stuck with each other. Come back when I'm less irritated with you both."
Sanji puffed out some smoke, "Thanks a lot bastard, now my beautiful love is mad at me."
"You two are dating?"
Sanji smiled softly, a twinkle in his eye "Not yet, but I'm going to marry her someday."
That made the swordsman laugh, "Didn't seem like she's interested in you, at all."
"Love is like a rose, sometimes it takes a while for it to fully bloom."
"Uh-huh…" Zoro didn't believe that in the slightest.
His stomach growled, which made the succubus look at him, "Didn't you eat lunch?"
"Is it lunchtime?"
"Idiot, it's almost time for dinner."
"Oh" was all Zoro managed to say, before his stomach growled again.
Sanji frowned, "I'll make you something to eat"
"Ha! Like I would let a demon cook me food. You would probably put something in it."
The glare sent his way could kill, it was brimming with rage, "I'm a cook asshole. Cooking is my pride and joy, I would never tamper with food. Food is precious." As much as he loathed to admit it, he could tell that the demon meant it. "If I could get away with killing you, I would, but not with food. Food should be ready by the time you get back to your place." With those words the demon disappeared once again.
Zoro wasn't a big fan of the demon messing around with things in his apartment, so he tried to rush home.
He was pretty sure he was getting close when Sanji appeared again, a bento full of food in his hands. "Why are you on this side of town?"
"Because this is the way to my place." Zoro grumbled irritably.
"You live on the other side of town. You are going in the complete opposite direction!" Sanji pointed behind Zoro "Your apartment is that way!"
Zoro ruffled his hair, "That witch must have cast a spell on me to confuse me."
"No she didn't!" Sanji snapped, "You're just directionally confused! It's been over an hour and even if you walk slowly you should have arrived in forty-five minutes. You're…" Sanji made a face at him, "an actual idiot, aren't you?"
"Shut up! At least I'm not a shit-succubus who can't even eat off of men because he's too much of a food snob."
"There's nothing wrong with enjoying good food. Speaking of that-" The demon handed him the bento, "Here, the best meal of your life."
"Not hungry" Zoro crossed his arms in defiance, while his stomach growled simultaneously in protest, loudly.
Not wanting to look at the shit eating smirk of the demon, he grabbed the bento and sat at the end of an alley, opening the lid. He was immediately hit in the face with the aroma of what laid inside.
He didn't even pay much mind to what the food was and just started to stuff his face full. The demon hadn't lied, this was the most delicious food that he ever had the pleasure of eating.
He had no idea how it was possible but this food was almost as good as sex.
That thought brought him back to the present. Sanji was crouched down next to him with a genuinely pleased look on his face.
"Damn good, isn't it?"
Zoro shrugged, "It's okay"
"You're a damn liar."
He wasn't sure why but he really enjoyed that look on the demon's face, "Are you going to eat too?"
Sanji waved a dismissive hand, "While I love eating human food, it doesn't actually do much for me physically."
"I wasn't talking about the bento."
Sanji just studied Zoro, "Neither of us want that."
"Can't you eat off of my pleasure from the food?"
"Unless the food is turning you on, no I can't."
Zoro frowned, "I don't want to be in your debt."
"I didn't make you food so you would owe me something."
"It doesn't matter, if you keep making me food, I can provide you with food too. That is our contract anyways."
"Until it's cancelled."
Zoro nodded, "Is there any way you can eat from me that you would be willing to do?"
A blond eyebrow arched, "Would you be okay with that?"
He actually took a moment to think about that. All things considering, he was very okay with that. The demon may have been irritating and rubbed him the wrong way but he was really attractive. If it wasn't for wanting to fight Mihawk he wouldn't mind this contract so much.
Zoro nodded his head.
"Eat your food first. I'll walk with you home this time, so you don't get lost."
"Why are you being so nice?" Zoro still didn't trust him.
"Because I'm very hungry." Sanji's smile sent a shiver down Zoro's spine.
