Chapter 15

"We're not going to the training room?" Sanji asked as he followed Judge and his siblings down an unfamiliar hall.

"Not that one," Judge answered. "This one is… a special training room."

Special? Why do I not like the sound of that? Sanji thought as they stopped at the end of the hall. Judge flipped a switch on the wall before opening the door.

Sanji stared at Judge, eyes narrowed in confusion. They were back at the entrance hall just outside the dining hall.

"This is a joke, right?"

"Just shut up and come on," Yonji said picking Sanji up by the collar of his shirt.

"I CAN WALK ON MY OWN!" Sanji yelled as Yonji carried him back to the dining hall doors.

"You know, it's really sad when the younger brother is able to carry the older brother," Niji laughed as Yonji sat Sanji on the ground.

"You do realize that Yonji could carry all three of you if he wanted to, right?" Reiju said. "Last I checked, you and Ichiji are also his older brothers, so wouldn't your statement apply to not just Sanji, but the two of you as well?"

Sanji covered his mouth to stop himself from laughing.

"Shut up, Reiju! IS SOMETHING FUNNY YOU STUPID FAILURE?!"

"Nope," Sanji said serpresing a grin. "Why the hell are we back here? What was the point of walking in a circle?"

"That door is locked on the outside. Somebody," Niji pretended to cough into his hand while saying Yonji, "broke the only key. So now we have to go the long way to get to the stupid switch."

"You think I intentionally broke it?"

"Maybe if you'd be a bit more careful and control your strength more often…" Reiju began.

"This is me caring," Ichiji interrupted as he opened the dining hall doors. "You guys coming or not?"

Sanji followed the others in. He looked around in disbelief, he thought for sure that they just walked into the dining hall but instead it was a completely different room. There was a red carpet leading from the door to the end of the large room. Three marble pillars lined either side of the carpet, four candles around each one. The walls were also lined with candles. At the far end of the room there was some sort of machine. Nere the machine was huge circular platform. In the center of the platform was painted a smaller gray circle, with the letter 'J', just large enough for someone to stand on. The outer ring was divided into five sections, each colored and numbered for the five siblings.

"What the hell is that?" Sanji asked staring at the machine.

"That doesn't concern any of you right now," Judge said bluntly.

"Any of you? Are you saying there's something you're not telling Reiju and the others?"

"We've been in here multiple times but he still won't tell us what it is," Reiju explained.

"And I repeat, this is me caring," Ichiji said tossing a yellow cylinder to Sanji while at the same time taking a red one out of his pocket.

"A raid suit," he said examining the object. "I'm not using this!"

"Yes you are," Judge said.

"I'm not using this kind of science to make myself stronger!"

"You already do," Niji reminded.

"I wasn't given a choice on that!"

"And your not given a choice on this either," Yonji said grabbing Sanji from behind.

"Yonji, let me go! Niji, no!" Sanji yelled as Niji took his hands and forced him to hold the cylinder in the activation position. "Bastards," he said examining the white gloves now covering his hands.

The suit was, not to Sanji's surprise, yellow, the design was much like Niji's. Orange flame's went up the outer part of the legs. A yellow number three burned onto the black cape. The headphones blocked out some of the sound which really annoyed him.

"Luffy!"

"Nami-san?" Sanji said turning in the direction of the navigator's voice. He knew she wasn't in the room, none of his friends were there. He new better than to think he actually heard her sweet voice yelling at his captain.

"I wanna break it," he heard Luffy say.

"Do you want to get Sanji-kun in trouble?! Let's just go back to his room and wait like we promised. The others have already headed there."

Sanji looked around the room, feeling like he had lost his mind.

"Fine," Luffy said sounding a bit to disappointed about whatever it was they were talking about.

He could hear their footsteps but still could not see them… that was until he turned back to the doors. Luffy and Nami were walking side by side, their backs to him as they headed for the doors. He thought Nami had just opened the door, he could see it moving…. But when it was fully ajar all he could see was another door. That's when he realized that his captain and beautiful swan as well as the opened door were transparent!

"What the HELL! What is going on!" He said turning back to the others.

"Let's just say, Dad discovered how to get to alternate dimensions," Ichiji said. "We can see them but they can't see us."

Sanji turned back to the doors in disbelief.

"Reiju, over here."

"Yes, Father," she answered following Judge to stand out of the way.

Sanji sensed an electrical energy coming at him from behind at a rapid speed. He waited until the energy was an inch from his back before jumping out of the way of Niji's attack.

"Huh?!" Niji said not knowing just how Sanji knew he was there, he had been quieter than a mouse after all.

"Going to have to do better than that if you want to hit me, Niji."

"Shut up! I'm just warming up!"

"That's what they all say before they lose!"

At that, Niji put off a dark, angry aura before making another attempt at Sanji.

Sanji could feel the raid suit strengthening his abilities but he could not figure out how to use it, not that he wanted to, he just preferred to not find out what would happen if he didn't. He had to figure it out and quick because he knew the others wouldn't tell him.

"You really are still a weakling if all you're going to do is dodge our attacks," Yonji said after Sanji jumped back about twenty feet when Yonji attempted an aerial attack.

Sanji ignored him, turning to stop Ichiji's spark filled punch with his leg.

"Tch. Do you honestly think you've got a chance of winning a fight against us! You're weak! You've always been weak and you always will be!" Ichiji said throwing punch after punch at Sanji's face but missing every time as Sanji avoided each one. "Stop dodging!"

"Don't feel like it yet," Sanji replied. He was sort of enjoying the fact that he could annoy the shit out of them and avoid every attack they threw at him thanks to his haki while also being able to fight back anytime he wanted.

"Sanji, there is no special trick to using the suit. Just tell it what to do and it will do it, it's no different than mov~"

"Reiju, don't help him!" Judge interrupted.

No different than moving…? Well, I guess…. Damn it, I don't need this stupid thing! ...But if I don't… Zeff… Sanji let out a deep sigh. Alright, here goes nothing…. "Diable Jambe." Judge said I could change the temperature of my flames… but… how?!

…'Just tell it what to do and it will do it'... Reiju's voice repeated.

If I can't turn up the heat myself, yet… then… maybe… the suit can… do it for me…. Just like Reiju said, as soon as he thought it he felt the flames around his leg grow hotter…. It didn't burn but he could feel the heat, which was odd to him because he was never able to feel the heat of Diable Jambe or Hell Memories. He glance down to realize that the flames didn't just change in temperature but color as well…. What was normally an orangish-yellow flame was now completely white, the third hottest flame.

Zeff had taught Sanji about how flames changed colors based on their temperature when he was young. Red was the coolest, then orangish-yellow, next was white which changed to a purple-ish blue, and finally the hottest color, blue. This made Sanji a bit curious on exactly how hot he could make his fire, however he decided it best to hold off on testing this until he wasn't in the middle of a fight with his brothers. Not only that but he also thought if this flame felt hot to him then he should probably let his body get used to it before letting it get hotter.

He thought about using Party Table Kick Course on the three of them but then quickly remembered the cape and decided that it would get in his way so it'd be best he didn't attempt a handstand right now.

Sanji jumped, flipping backwards in the air to kick Niji in the back of the head while also avoiding Yonji's punch. Niji fell face first from the impact and slid a few feet causing Yonji to trip and fall on top of the older brother. Sanji, however, landed safely on both feet.

"If you two are so much stronger than me… why are you the ones on the ground?"

"Yonji, get off of me! I'M GONNA KILL HIM!"

"Not if I do it first!" Yonji replied getting to his feet and running after Sanji.

"Stealth!"

Sanji, once again, dodged his brothers attacks. He began to feel a rather intense aura filled with irritation and anger, telling him his oldest brother was about to lose his cool…. Which was rare for Ichiji.

Sanji used Skywalk to avoid Ichiji's attack and used both feet to send him stumbling forward. Although he lost his balance, on like his younger brothers, he managed to keep himself from actually falling, which kind of disappointed Sanji.

Ichiji spun on his heel and made another attempt at Sanji, punching and kicking, angry sparks radiating from his body as Sanji dodged each punch and stopped each kick with his own kick.

"You. Are. Not. Supposed. To. Be. Able. To. Keep. UP!" Ichiji said with each failed attempt to hit his brother.

"Well sorry to disappoint you," Sanji replied, his voice sacherated in sarcasm.

"Calm down, Ichiji," Judge cautioned. "To think someone like you is capable of using haki. What a waist."

"I could care less about what you think of me," Sanji replied while still focusing on Ichiji's attacks, waiting for the right opportunity to counter attack.

That opportunity finally came when Ichiji seemed to let his guard down just a bit, letting himself get distracted by something. Sanji used that moment to send him flying across the room and into the wall with a single, final kick.

"Damn bastard!" Ichiji said getting to his feet and tried to make another attack.

"Ichiji! Enough! You're done for the day!"

"WHAT?!"

"Over here, now!"

Ichiji shot Sanji a look that said 'you'll pay for that' as he walked over to stand next to his father.

"That's one down. Two and four to go… who wants to be next?" Sanji asked returning the evil smirk that his brothers had given him so many time before.

The fight lasted for about an hour until it finally ended with Niji and Yonji laying on the floor and Sanji standing between the two, although he did end up taking a little damage from one of Yonji's punches which he thought might have broken a few of his ribs, but he wasn't too bothered by it. After all, between Chopper's medical abilities and his own healing speed he'd be back to normal by morning, not to mention they also have Law at the moment.

"I really, really hate to say it… no… I don't… I really don't… I told you damn bastards so!" Sanji said feeling rather please with himself for proving that he was not all bark and no bite.

Judge did not look the least bit pleased that his child with the least genetic enhancements was able to beat all three of his favorite sons, however Sanji's haki told him the man was more than happy about something… but what exactly… Sanji couldn't tell.

"If Dad would of let me stay in the fight I could have easily won. That match doesn't count."

"You just keep telling yourself that, Ichiji. Whatever helps you sleep," Sanji replied as he deactivated his raid suit.

"After dinner, we'll be in the training room. Expect the flames to be hotter than last night. Head back to your room until then. Niji, go turn off the switch to this room."

"Yes, Father," Niji replied as he walked to the door.

"Niji, meet us back in the dining hall. There's something I need to discuss with the three of you."

"Be there as fast as I can. Stealth!"

"Sanji," Judge said turning to the blond

"What?"

"Keep that raid suit with you."

"I don't want it!"

"I don't care what you want!"

Sanji glared at him as he slid the yellow cylinder into his pocket before leaving the room. He froze for a moment, staring at the door in front of him because he thought he just opened it but soon remembered that the other door wasn't as 'there' as it looked and walked through it.

A/N: I believe that the raid suits are somehow linked to the users DNA so only they can use it, as of right now one reason I believe this is only in the manga so I don't want to spoil anything for Anime only fans :) also I don't know exactly what activates them so let's just go with 'activation position' lol.

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, I apologise that it took longer than usual, any chapter with a major fight like this one probably will take me a while because fights are hard for me to write. That said any feedback on I did with the fight and what I could have done better would be great! Thanks in advance! Sorry if Sanji seemed a bit out of character with how cocky he was by the end… I felt he deserves to be a bit cocky towards his brothers after that :)

Thank you so much for your support and amazing reviews! ?
