Author's Note: Just so you know, I changed the title for my future fic "Loyalty and Pain" to "Hell on Earth." I think it sounds better that way. Also, check out my new One Piece fic, "Of Cooking and Soccer."
Chapter Six
Damn You All!
"Nami, can I try cooking today?" asked Chopper the following day. Sanji was still sick and someone needed to be the new replacement cook since the previous four didn't work out. Chopper had come up to Nami when he saw her coming out of the girl's cabin to ask her his question.
"Well, that depends, Chopper," said Nami, "can you cook?"
"Well, I can't really cook anything, but I can prepare something."
"Hm…okay, you can give it a try if you want."
"Yay!" Chopper ran into the kitchen. He opened the icebox and got out a head of cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, and turnips. He then took out a knife and started chopping the vegetables.
"I sure hope the others will like this," said Chopper as he began placing the veggies onto the plates.

"Ch-Chopper! What is this!?" Luffy gawked at his plate of chopped up cabbage, lettuce, tomato, and turnip. Everyone else had already sat down and started eating.
"What's wrong, Luffy?" asked Chopper, looking at Luffy in confusion. "Don't you like vegetables?"
"Like vegetables!?" said Luffy. "I like meat, not this!" Chopper winced.
"I don't really know how to cook," said Chopper, "and reindeer don't eat meat, so why would I prepare meat?"
"Because I wanted meat!" said Luffy. The captain looked like he was about to cry.
"Just shut up, will you!?" said Nami, looking very annoyed. "So you don't get to eat meat today! Is that really a big deal? Besides, I was thinking of going on a diet anyway." Luffy put his head on the table and said nothing.
"You're acting like a baby," said Zoro as he ate his breakfast. Chopper glanced at Luffy before picking up an untouched plate.
"I'm going to give Sanji his breakfast now."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanji felt sick that morning. His stomach was feeling upset ever since he first woke up. He wasn't sure if he could eat anything today. Sanji turned his head when he heard Chopper's footsteps entering the cabin.
"Sanji, I brought you breakfast! How are you feeling?"
"Awful," said Sanji, not even bothering to sit up, "I don't think I can eat anything today."
"Well, I'll just leave the plate on the table for you," said Chopper. "The medicine isn't helping much, is it?"
"Nope," said Sanji, "but don't feel guilty. I'm sure I'll feel better in no-" Suddenly, Sanji leaped off of the couch and ran straight into the bathroom. There, he collapsed on his knees and threw up in the toilet.
"SANJI!" Chopper ran into the bathroom and stood beside his sick friend.
"I'm fine," said Sanji, "just an upset stomach, that's-" Sanji threw up again. Chopper started to panic. Just then, Zoro, Luffy, and Usopp walked into the cabin. Luffy had gotten over the fact that Chopper served them vegetables and had eaten his breakfast.
"What's wrong with Sanji?" asked Luffy when he saw Sanji sitting next the toilet, "did Nature just called?"
"No, you idiot!" said Sanji angrily. "I'm throwing-" Sanji threw up in the toilet for the third time.
"I don't think Nature called him," said Zoro, "I think Sanji's pregnant." Luffy and Usopp started laughing so hard, they collapsed on the floor.
"It's not funny!" shouted Chopper. Luffy and Usopp picked themselves up, still laughing hard. Sanji stared angrily at them.
"Very funny! I hope someday you throw up so I can laugh-" Once again, Sanji threw up.
"Hee hee! That's a good one, Zoro!" said Luffy.
"But really, Sanji," said Usopp, wiping the tears from his eyes, "we are worried about you. Honestly!"
"Yeah, Sanji!" said Luffy. "Get better soon!" As Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp walked past the bathroom, Luffy and Usopp couldn't help but laugh again at Zoro's remark. Sanji heard them and before throwing up for the fifth time, yelled, "Damn you all!"
Author's Note: Sorry if this is a bit short. Poor Sanji, getting no respect at all.
