"SANJI!" Luffy, Chopper, and Usopp cried as they ran to catch up with the group.
"What do you want?"
"IT WAS A FAKE!" They cried as tears streamed down their faces. They walked backwards to face the cook as they each held up a piece of the tin can.
"Did you really think that I would let the three of you run off with something like that?"
"But we want to try it!" They whined.
"No."
"Why not!" Luffy asked.
"Because you of all people don't need one."
"But if one of us uses it then maybe we could shoot beams!" They said.
"Don't be ridiculous! Franky is enough of a tricky person, we don't need any more!"
"Sebastian! Is everything alright?" A lady said as she came up to the blue haired man and gave him a hug, interrupting the Straw Hats' disagreement.
"Yes, deer, everything is fine," he replied, wrapping one arm around her due to the fact that he was still carrying the Vinsmoke siblings Reid Suits in the other arm.
"How is the king doing?" She asked looking up to him.
"He's been better. But I'm sure he'll recover..."
"Honey, he needs a real doctor."
"I know. But they injured almost all of the doctors in the Kingdom and killed two others."
"I'm a doctor! Please let me treat them!" Chopper repeated.
"Sebastian, who are they?" His wife asked looking to each of the Straw Hats. She gasped when she got to Reiju, Ichiji, Niji and Yonji. She stared at Sebastian in horror as she slowly backed away. "W-why are they here?!"
"It's hard to believe but I honestly don't believe they mean us any harm."
"Don't mean us harm?! Sebastian! Their king tried to kill our King and nearly succeeded!"
"Please, Mrs. He's right, we mean no harm. I can't express how sorry I am for what my husband did here. I know~"
"Husband? You're Germa's Queen?!" Sebastian's wife interrupted.
"I am."
"Then why don't you take yourself and those monsters you call children back to Germa where you came from! Haven't you people done enough?!"
"I'm sorry, but our ride is the Straw Hat Pirate and they refuse to leave until they've made sure the injured are taken care of and everyone is well fed."
"Why? So you can poison our food and medication!"
"How much are you willing to bet Dartboard is going to try to flirt our way out of this?" Zoro whispered to the other three Vinsmoke brothers.
"As if any one would actually fall for something as stupid as that." Niji whispered back, ignoring the dartboard comment.
"I believe the word you want is 'charm'," Sanji said quietly, shoving his way past Zoro and Niji, having heard their hushed conversation. "And it works every time," he added before walking up to the lady.
"We don't need or want your so called help! So just get out of our kingdom!"
"Mademoiselle, if you don't mind my suggesting," he began with a slight bow as he held a flower out towards her that he picked before walking past Zoro and Niji. "Perhaps we could discuss this over some tea and a free first class, gourmet dinner? I promise if anybody tries to poison it, they'll be hearing from me. Not to mention I'll kill anyone who tries to poison a beautiful lady such as yourself. So how about it? You, me, and of course my beautiful Nami-swan, and I guess your husband; a candlelit seaside dinner facing the sunset? And most importantly first class gourmet food cooked by the hands of the East Blue's finest sea restaurant's top chef..." Sanji cut himself off at the sound of Zeff clearing his throat. "Eh... and when I say top chef I mean it's former sous chef..., so second top chef..., former sous chef being myself."
"Yeah, you better correct that, ya little brat."
Sanji glanced over his shoulder, glaring at Zeff, "Shut up, old geezer."
"Does flattery get you much in life?" She asked, her eyes soft, and smile warm. Yet, Sanji knew it wasn't going to be that easy.
"No madam, it does not. But it never hurts to try," he smiled back as she took the flower and smelled it.
She sighed, "alright."
"WHAT?!" Zoro and the three brothers hollered.
"Now, Subastian, stop glaring. He said you, too,'' She said, placing a hand on his chest.
"He said he 'guessed'!" Subastian growled.
"You try living on an island with no girls for two years," Sanji said in a monotone. It took a few seconds for him to realize what he said. When he did a shiver ran down his spine and he fell to his knees.
"I-I'm sorry... d-did we miss something?" Niji asked as the three brothers cocked a curled brow at the fourth brother.
"Sanji-kun... er... had a bit of a traumatic experience over the past two years." Nami said sitting next to Sanji.
"T-traumatic is putting it lightly," Sanji said as another shiver ran down his spine.
"Well at least you didn't have to stay on an island that tried to eat you!" Usopp yelled.
"Yeah!" Chopper agreed. "I had to deal with giant birds and people who wanted to eat me!"
"I don't want to hear it! At least you had girls on your islands!"
"Well actually the only thing on the islands was talking bugs..."
"I'm a reindeer... I don't really care about that kind of thing..."
"At least you had people to talk to. Like I said, all I had was bugs."
"I would have rather died then have to talk to those freaks!" Sanji spat at the two.
"And yet, you're still here."
"Shut up, Marimo! Why couldn't I landed on Luffy's island instead!" Sanji whined.
"Luffy didn't even stay on Amazon Lilly, Sanji-kun."
"That's just what he wants us to think! Why must I have such bad luck?" He said before muttering while drawing circles in the dirt with an index finger, "Stupid so called Father, stupid wanted posters, stupid avalanch, stupid Kuma, stupid Okamas, stupid Kamabakka Kingdom, Stupid Marimo..." (Yes I intentionally listed Okama(s) and Kamabakka Kingdom separately (...Remember Fishman Island?))
"WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO WITH YOUR SHITTY LUCK!"
"Okama?" Ichiji repeated.
"Kamabakka Kingdom?" Yonji added.
"Are you telling us, you got stuck in a kingdom of men who think they're girls for two year?" Niji said before the three brothers burst out laughing.
"IT'S NOT FUNNY!" Sanji said, who was now on his feet, inches away from his siblings.
"You really do have shitty luck!" Yonji laughed, causing the other two to laugh harder.
"SHUT UP!"
"I wouldn't call it that," Nami said. "After all if he didn't end up there his cooking might not be as good as it is now." She then added while wrapping an arm around him, "nor would you have learnt Sky Walk, Blue Walk, or Hell Memories. All of which came in handy on our way to and at Fishman Island, for example anyway."
Sanji didn't respond to Nami's attempt to cheer him up.
"Sanji? Why don't you go make these people some of your amazing food," Sora smiled
That got Sanji's attention.
"HAI!" He said throwing his hand in the air. (Now that I know a little Japanese lets just start randomly throwing it in every now and then (when it fits better then the simple English "yes" lol) "Ichiji, Niji, Yonji! Help me get stuff from the Sunny!"
"Why do we have to!?"
"Because he asked you to, Yonji," Sora answered.
"I want to go help the injured citizens while Sanji is cooking."
"I'll go with you Tony-ya. If both of us treat them it will get done faster."
"I'll stay here with Sanji," Reiju said.
"I would like to talk to the King. It's the least I can do after what my husband did here," Sora said looking at Chopper then to Sebastian.
"Alright then, anyone who is not helping Sanji will go help Chopper and Tra-guy." Nami said.
"Sora-sama, would it be alright if I helped..."
"Cossete-chan, if you want to help cook, you can. You don't have to ask," Sanji smiled.
"Alright, let's all meet back here in a few hours," Nami said and the Injured treatment team left the beach.
Wow... I have no idea why that last little bit gave me so much trouble to write... Whatever is what it is! Hope you enjoyed! Next chapter... plot twist!
