I do not own One Piece.
This is in Sanji's P.O.V.
"Sanji!" I walk out of the galley to see Luffy run towards the ship, grinning wide. I light by cigarette and lean against the rail, waiting for him to reach the ship, not wanting to have a whole conversation yelling. He launches himself over the railing, landing a few feet from me, before jumping up and running towards me. "We're having a party tonight...You have to make lots of meat." he yells excitedly.
"Any particular reason we are having a party?" I ask, raising my visible eyebrow.
"Yep! I ran into Shanks, so we decided to have a party." he replies happily, smiling widely at me.
"That is going to be expensive...Have you informed Nami yet? We'll need some money for food." I ask suspiciously. His smile drops for a second, before returning full force.
"Nami!" he yells jumping back off the ship and running off. Letting out a sigh, I finish my cigarette before slowly following after him. I find him standing in the middle of the street, talking excitedly to an exasperated Nami.
"But Nami...it's Shanks...and...and Usopp will get to meet his dad." he begs, sending her wide, tear filled eyes.
"Fine...here is some money Sanji...But this is the last party we are having for a while." she says, glaring briefly at Luffy before turning around and heading down the street. I head down to the market and begin stocking up on all the food and booze I could get with the money Nami generously gave to me.
After, once again, finishing the shopping, I head back to Sunny to begin cooking, knowing that it will take a few hours for the meat to marinate. Getting back to the ship, I begin hauling all of the bags up the gangplank, Usopp quickly making his way over and helping me.
"Is something happening, Sanji? I thought you already picked up all of the stocks we needed." Usopp asks as we begin setting out all of the food.
"Oh, Luffy saw one of his old friends and decided we needed to have a party," I tell him, deciding it was best to leave out the part about his dad being there, figuring it would be best to leave it as a surprise. I knew he would get ridiculously nervous and end up trying to think of a way out of it.
"Really? That seems pretty exciting." He says smiling softly as we begin cutting the meat and preparing the marinade.
"Yeah...it gives us a lot of work to do though," I reply smiling back. We get all of the meat cut and put into the marinade and take a seat at the table, knowing that, even though it was raw, we had to keep Luffy away from the meat.
A few hours later, as the sun starts to set and the other ship pulls around to dock next to ours, I go out to set up the grill, while Usopp begins loading up the meat on some large trays. Setting up the grill, I look around, smiling slightly at everyone sitting around talking with the other crew.
"Sanji...Sanji...Where's Usopp?" Luffy asks, running up towards me, slowly followed by a dark-skinned man with dreadlocks. I could tell from a single glance that he was Usopp's dad...they looked way too similar not to be.
"He is getting the food ready to bring out." I reply, striking a match to light up the grill. "He should be out in a minute. Just wait a few minutes...and don't attack him when he comes out if you want to be eating anything tonight." I reply sternly when Luffy turns towards the ship.
He lets out a sigh, and starts pouting before turning back to his guest. "Oh...This is Yasopp. He wants to talk to Usopp." I nod at the man briefly before turning back to the grill.
"I'm sure Usopp will be happy to meet him as well." I say back with a smile. We stand around chatting for a little while, Luffy having run off to talk to some of the others, until I see Usopp walking towards us balancing one of the trays. He looks at Yasopp wide-eyed for a second before carefully setting the tray down on the small table next to the grill.
"Hello, sir...It's nice seeing you again," he greets, bowing slightly. I stare at him in shock for a second, before facing Yasopp who is also looking at him in shock, and maybe a slight bit of dread.
"You know him, Usopp?" I ask cautiously, looking between the two of them.
"Not really...I accidentally bumped into him a few months before you came to the island...and again earlier today." he replies sheepishly, blushing slightly. "I'll go get the rest of the food." he says, before heading back to the ship.
I light up my cigarette and slowly turn to face Yasopp, who is still staring in shock at the place that Usopp had been stand. I stick my hands in my pockets before shifting slightly and through throwing my leg out, sending Yasopp flying back slightly. I lower my leg and stalk towards him, stopping in front of him while he sits up.
"You met him?...while he was still in that shitty place getting ordered around and beaten, and you didn't even try to save him? You didn't even try to save you own son from a shitty life of slavery?" I ask, anger begin to swell up inside me. He looks away for a second before turning back to me.
"If I knew he was my son, I would have...But I never thought...never dreamed he would be on the Grand Line...especially not as a slave! He was supposed to be at home...on Syrup with his mother. If I had thought there was even the smallest chance of him being Usopp, I would have saved him...You might not believe it...But I would do anything for Usopp...for my son." he replies biting his lip and looking away again. I begin to reply, when a crash sounds behind me. I turn around to find Usopp staring at us with wide, teary eyes.
