Sanji and his siblings woke early the next morning, enhancements still not returned. Unlike before, Chopper wasn't waiting for them to wake.
"You think your friends are ready to leave?" Niji asked as they walked to the dining hall.
"More than likely. I think I can safely say that Luffy is and probably Marimo. Usopp will probably come up with some excuse to why he can't go... 'Luffy, I think I'm coming down with 'I can't go help fight Sanji's dad or I'll die disease'," Sanji mocked.
They all laughed.
"But then he'll more than likely get all freaked out, being left alone with your soulders as soon as we set sail and run to the edge of Germa where Luffy will have to grab him and pull him onto the Sunny with his Gum-Gum Usopp rescue..."
"That's not really a thing... Is it?" Ichiji asked, a tad bit concerned.
"No," Sanji chuckled. "I made it up. But Luffy does have this really bad habit of grabbing us from a really far distance and send us flying towards him... You get used to it after awhile but it's still annoying... annnnd sometimes painfull."
"I can see annoying... but how's it painfull?" Niji asked as they walked up to the dining hall doors.
"Lets put it this way... Sometimes I think Luffy thinks he's playing a game of Rubber Man Bowling or human dominos... or human darts... Something like that anyways. Although if he ever hurts Nami-Swan or Robin-Chwan doing that, I'll kick his ass!" Sanji said opening one of the doors.
"SAAAAANNJIIIII!" Luffy hollered, rocketing over to his friend.
He would have tackled Sanji in the process but the blond had Sky Walked out of the way. Instead, Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji were now piled on top of each other, with Luffy sitting on them.
"Hehehe, Sorry," Luffy laughed, grabbing his hat off the floor and getting to his feet.
"You don't sound sorry!" Yonji said though clinched teeth.
"Does he ever?" Sanji teased as he landed behind his rubbery captain while Reiju silently chuckled.
"Not having an exoskeleton really sucks. That hurt," Niji complained,rubbing the back of his head.
"SANJI!" came a high piched, angry (yet adorable), raindeer's voice from behind the blond. "I thought I told you NO SKY WAKLING!"
"Sky Walk has nothing to do with genetic enhancements!" Sanji said turning on his heels to face Chopper.
"I don't care! No Sky Walk, no fighting Zoro, no kicking Luffy for stealing food, nothing! As soon as we set sail the five of you are resting!"
"We've rested long enough," Ichiji said, picking Chopper up by the back of his shirt as he walked to the table, followed by his siblings.
"Alright, looks like everyone is here."
"NAMI-SWAAAAAAAN!" Sanji said running to the Navigator, with hearts in his eyes, who had just entered the dinning hall with Sora, Cosette, Robin, Brook, and Franky.
"Hi Sanji-kun. Feeling any better today?"
"I am now that you're here!"
"Love sick moron."
"WHAT'D YOU SAY, MOSS HEAD!"
"Zoro, Sanji! I said just no fighting!"
"I SAID YOU'RE A LOVE SICK MORON!"
"Sanji-kun? Would you mind grabbing this bag for me? It's really heavy."
"Any thing for you, Nami my dear!" Sanji said turning away from the fight.
"You're hopeless," Nami muttered as Sanji walked behind her to pick up a bag she had sat on the floor.
"And by hopeless, you mean, hopelessly in love?!" Sanji said leaning around Nami to kiss her on the cheek.
"If you say so," She smiled before returning the kiss.
"Lucky ass failure," Yonji said under his breath.
"No kidding," Niji agreed slouching in his chair.
Ichiji silently nodded, not taking his eyes off Nami.
"That bag needs taken to the Sunny. You wouldn't mind doing that for me would you, Sanji-kun?"
"Right away, Nami-Swan!" Sanji said running to the doors. He slide to a stop and turned to his siblings. "Y-you guys wouldn't happen to know where the keys to these wristlets are... would you?" He chuckled scratching the back of his head with his free hand.
"I gave their location to Nami," Reiju replied.
"Yes. I sto~ I mean, went and got them yesterday with Law's help," She said ramaging through her pockets. "Now where did I... Here they are!" She walked over to Sanji, who sat the bag back down and held out his arms so she could unlock the golden explosives. "There, now we're all free to go home, together," Nami smiled.
"Thanks, Nami-san," Sanji smiled back.
"Now, why don't we all get to the Sunny. I think it's about time we leave... But first, do any of you know where he might have went first?" Nami asked turning to the other Vinsmokes.
They galanced at each other, unsure on what to say.
Sora pirked up, "There's this kingdom towards the west of the North Blue... It is said to have been the first region to rebel against Germa when it ruled the North Blue. I hadn't noticed it before but it seems we have been heading for that Kingdom this for awhile now."
"I was looking at a map earlier today. I think I know what Kingdom you're talking about. We're about a two day sail from there, with the right weather conditions of course."
"Alright! Then let's get going!" Luffy said excitedly.
"Wow, Bro, slow down. We have one more Super important thing to take care of first." Frinky said before turning to Sanji's siblings. "Do you guys have your Raid Suits with you?"
"Always do," they replied, holding up the little cylinders.
"I've been in your lab, doing reassure with Chopper, Usopp, and Law. We didn't find what we were looking for, but we do think that they might be able to help you enhancements return faster, starting with your healling."
"So in other words, it would probably be best if you wair them at all times until they return," Law said.
"Oy, weakling," Niji said lightly kicking Sanji in the shin. "Do you have yours?"
"Yeah, Yeah. It's in my pocket."
"Sanji has gone too!" Luffy exclaimed, eyes turning to stars. "I wanna see! Let me try it!" He ran over to Sanji, jumped in his lap, and wrapped his arms and legs around the blond. "Let me try it! I want one! Sanji! Please!"
"GET THE HELL OFF OF ME!" Sanji yelled trying to shove Luffy off of him,but his rubbery body wouldn't allow it.
"Don't be stupid, Straw Hat. They're genetically linked to the user," Ichiji said.
"I don't care! I wanna try it!"
"GENETICALLY LINKED MEANS YOU CAN'T! We're the only ones who can use them," Yonji said.
"Sooooooo they're mystery suits!" Luffy said smaking his fist to his hand.
"NO! They're~"
"Niji, just don't. He's to dense to understand," Sanji interrupted. "The more you try to make him understand the more brain cells you'll feel like you lost."
"I feel like I'm losing brain cells just watching him with you guys," Yonji stated.
"Luffy, stop fooling around! We're wasting time!"
Zoro walked up to Luffy, grabbed him by the shirt, and pulled him off of Sanji. "Nami's right. The longer we wait the more likely he'll have moved on to the next kingdom."
"ALRIGHT! LET'S GO KICK HIS ASS!" Luffy said happily jumping with one fist in the air.
"AYE CAPTAIN!"
