Chapter 41

They walked down the hill and towards the destroyed town.

"Maybe you should get back to the ship, Sanji-kun. You still look like you need some rest."

"I'm fine, Nami-san," he assured.

Sanji noticed some of the women staring at them in horror. The men must of noticed it to because they turned in the crews direction. Their expressions grew angry as they picked up pitchforks and wood that still had flames on the end.

"What are you doing here, Germa?!"

"Go back to where you came from!"

"Your people have done enough!"

"Your father didn't kill our king so he sent his children to finish the job?!"

"What?" Niji asked, his eyes narrowing.

"Niji, don't get upset. You can't blame them," Sanji said walking closer to the men. "Look we're only here for information."

"Information on rather or not our King is dead?!"

"Of course not!" Luffy said. "We here to kick the as of the man that did this!"

"Luffy, we need to find out where he is first," Sanji said.

"Wait…? Soooo you're not here to attack us again,' said a men with dark blue hair.

"Are you deaf or something!" Niji yelled.

"That what we just said!" Added Yonji

"Idiots!" Muttered Ichiji.

"Now, calm down you three. You can't blame them. They just got attacked by what they thought was s fictional character only to have four other fictional characters show up in front of them," Sanji said before turning to the men. "I apologize for my brothers behavior. Their people skills are rusty."

"Brothers? So…That would make you the number three of Germa…," the blue haired man said.

The men then backed up twenty feet trying to get away from Sanji.

Sanji raised a brow, "huh?"

"S-stay away! Y-you're the worst out of all of them!"

"JUST WHAT KIND OF PERSON DOES THOSE STUPID MANGAS MAKE ME OUT TO BE!" Sanji yelled, his teeth sharpening like shark teeth.

"And you say our people skills are rusty?" The three brothers said.

Law chuckled from behind the rest of the crew.

"YOU FIND THIS AMUSING, TRA-GUY!"

"You really don't know anything about the Sora of the Sea Mangas do you, Black Leg?"

"No! And I don't want to either!"

"Alright fine then, I won't tell you what I was going to tell you," Law said, hiding his disappointment well. (Inner Law is just like puppy dog pout, let me tell you! I wanna tell you! Come on Black Leg! I swear you're going to like Stealth Black! Let me tell you! Pleeeeaaassseee! Okay maybe not… I don't know. What do you think is Law's Nerdy side's thoughts are right now?! ?)

"You're the Straw Hat Pirates! I thought you were in the Grand Line!"

"We were. It's a long story," Nami said.

"The Heart Pirates are here too," Reiju stated.

"It's fine," Law replied.

"Where's everyone staying with the town looking like this?" Nami asked.

"There is a beach not far from the docs everyone is camping at until we can get some of the town rebuilt," the man said. "Some of the kingdom's citizens from other parts of the island are staying there as well."

"Is anyone injured?" Chopper asked. "I'm a doctor."

"Do you guys have food? If not, I can make something for everyone," Sanji added.

"There's my Sanji," Nami smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I like the sound of that," he smiled back. "But I've been here the whole time."

"I know, but the way you've been feeling lately, you haven't quite been yourself."

"Sanji, you really should get some more rest," Chopper began turning around to look at him. "WHAT ARE YOU FOUR DOING?! PUT THOSE BACK ON!"

"Sanji's not wearing his," Ichiji reminded as he and the others walked up to stand next to said brother.

"THAT'S BECAUSE HE NEEDED TO WEAR SOMETHING WARMER! STOP ACTING LIKE ZOR~!"

Sanji placed his hand on Chopper's head earning the reindeer's attention.

"They're not," he said as Ichiji held his Reid Suit out to the man.

The man stared at it confused as Reiju did the same.

"Niji, Yonji, you too," she said looking back over her shoulder.

"I really don't feel comfortable doing this…," Niji said looking at the little blue cylinder.

"Yeah, I don't go anywhere without my Reid Suit," Yonji added.

"Good that means we're all on the same page. Now, hand them over."

"But if we're on the same page then…." Yonji started.

"Shouldn't we be agreeing to…." Niji tried to finish but stopped when Ichiji glared at the both of them. "Alright! Alright! Just stop looking at us like that, geez!" He said as they handed their Reid Suits to their older brother and sister.

"Wait! You're giving the town's people your Reid Suits!" Luffy winner shoving his way through Niji and Yonji. "Give them to me!" He begged clinging onto Ichiji's arm. "Can I use one! I wanna use one! Let me use one!"

"WE ALREADY TOLD YOU! YOU CAN'T!" Niji repeated.

"HOW THE HELL IS GIVING THEM TO YOU SUPPOSED TO MAKE THEM TRUST US! SANJI GET YOUR IDIOT CAPTAIN OFF ME!"

"Luffy knock it off," Sanji said. "Ichiji, aren't you supposed to be the cool one out of the three?"

"WHAT DOES THAT MATTER?!" Ichiji said trying to shove Luffy away from the raid suits which were now held by Reiju. He was pushing Luffy's face with his hand as Luffy flailed his arms about trying to reach them, he seemed to have forgotten he was made of rubber.

"Luffy," Sanji said getting almost as annoyed as Ichiji looked. He really didn't have the energy to deal with Luffy's idiocy at the moment, not even ten minutes ago he had been really cold, and now he was rather not. The heat was draining his energy and making him tired. He was tired when he was cold but his anger with Judge had given him just enough adrenaline to push through his exhaustion. "Just go play with this one," he said taking his raid suit out or his pocket.

Luffy turned to Sanji, his eyes turning to stars, "REEEEEAAAAAAALLYYYYYY~!"

"Yes, now stop annoying Ichiji."

Luffy stretched his arm out and took the raid suit before running off with Usopp and Chopper at a remarkable speed.

"D-did you seriously just give him your raid suit?" Niji asked as the three brothers stared at him dumbfounded.

"Do you thin I'm stupid? Uh…Don't answer that," he replied taking his real raid suit out of his other pocket and holding it up for them to see. "I know he can't use it."

"If that's your raid suit then what did you give Luffy?" Reiju asked as Sanji handed the project in question over to her.

"A can of corn," he said blatantly. (Idea in thanks to the YouTuber Tekking101)

"Where did you get canned corn? You always buy fresh produce," Robin asked.

"Right before we left Germa, I had gone to the kitchen for a minute."

333

"Sanji-sa~?" Cosette began but cut herself off before the 'sama' came out. "What do you need?"

"I can't believe I'm asking this but do you happen to have any canned vegetables? The kind you can open on either end?"

"Yes… For the servants."

"Do you have can openers that break the seal so the end can be used as a lie?"

"Yes…."

"Cosette-chan, if you want to ask why then just ask," Sanji smiled, noticing a flicker of confusion in her eyes.

"W-why?"

"Luffy," he said as if that was the only answer she needed but continued anyway, "I'm going to take this yellow construction paper and glue it to the can after opening it, eating the contents, so it doesn't go to waste, remove the other end, and then put both ends back on and trick him into thanks it's a raid suit…. If I need to." (By the way I figured out how they activate the raid suits lol. We can thank Tekking101 for that lol.)

"Wouldn't he notice?"

"Yeah, after he, Usopp, and Chopper runs off with it. It will be fine. He'll be upset at first but he'll get over it as soon as I start cooking."

Moments later.

"Why does it not surprise me that we found you in here?" Ichiji said as the other three siblings followed him into the kitchen. "This was the first place we looked by the way."

"It doesn't surprise you because I'm a chef," Sanji replied slipping the can into his pocket before turning to him.

"I-I'm going to go see if Sora-sama or any one else needs any help," Cosette said before leaving the room.

Sanji couldn't help but notice Niji watching her out of the corner of his eye as she left.

333

"That's what you were doing? Seriously?"

"Shut up, Ichiji!

"I just can't believe that's what you were doing in the kitchen.

"It got Luffy to leave you alone didn't it?"

"Well yeah, but to think that you were doing something that stupid in a kitchen!" Ichiji said as Niji and Yonji began to laugh.

"Boys, let your brother be. He was just trying to help," she said before looking at the Blue haired man (that isn't Niji…. Sorry… bad joke….). "If it will make you and the others feel better you may hang on to their Reid Suits until we leave. But we would appreciate it if you show us to that beach you spoke of."

"Chopper would be more than happy to look after anyone who's injured, as well," Nami added. "And I know Sanji-kun wasn't joking about making food for everyone."

"A-alright, We won't try to force you off of this island," he said taking the Reid Suits. "I'll take you to the beach. Rather or not anyone else trusts you or not is up to them."

"Fair enough," Sanji replied.
