Chapter Seven

The Best Replacement Cook

Robin woke up early the next morning. Nami was still sleeping, so Robin had to walk quietly so she wouldn't wake up her crewmate. Robin went inside the kitchen and used her Devil Fruit powers to get all of the ingredients and utensils that she wanted. After getting everything, Robin began cooking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nami yawned as she rubbed the sleep from her eyes. Robin was nowhere in sight but she took no notice of this. She had to decide who the replacement cook for today would be since Sanji was probably still sick. As she opened the cabin door to go outside, Nami noticed that there was a strange smell in the air. The smell was coming from the kitchen. Nami went in and saw a frying pan on the stove (which miraculously worked, despite the fact that it was burned and black).

"Good morning, Navigator-san." Robin was standing by the sink, washing a bowl.

"Good morning, Robin. It sure smells nice in here. Are you cooking something?" Robin nodded.

"I'm making pancakes. They should be ready soon. I'll call you and the others when it's time, okay?" Nami nodded and left the kitchen. Judging by the smell, Robin should do fine as a replacement cook.

And I didn't even have to say anything! Nami thought when she realized that Robin had taken over the kitchen on her own will.

"Wow, something smells good!" The others had woken up and were on deck. Luffy started drooling when he smelled Robin's pancakes.

"Something does smell good," said Zoro, "who's cooking?"

"Robin," answered Nami.

"Really?!" said Chopper, eyes wide.

"Well, what are we waiting for?" asked Luffy eagerly. "Let's go eat!" Luffy and the others went inside the kitchen. The table had six plates of pancakes on it. Robin was already eating her plate of pancakes.

"Looks like I didn't have to call you at all," smiled Robin. Luffy stared hungrily at the pancakes. He sat down and was about to eat when Usopp grabbed the plate away from him.

"Hold on a minute!" said Usopp. He made eye contact with Robin. "These pancakes aren't some disgusting crap that'll have dire consequences, are they?"

"No," answered Robin calmly.

"Do we have to pay for them?"

"No."

"Why are you so suspicious?" asked Nami angrily. "I know Robin's cooking will be good. At least she didn't nearly burn down the ship like someone I know!"

"Yeah!" said Luffy. "Now, gimme back my pancakes!" He snatched the plate from Usopp's grasp and started eating. Everyone else sat down and also started eating.

"Robin, this is delicious!" said Nami.

"Yeah, this is almost as good as meat!" said Luffy with his mouth full.

"Fine, I'll admit I was wrong," said Usopp.

"Thank you," said Robin, smiling. She stood up and picked up a plate that was on the counter. "I'll go and see if Cook-san will agree with my cooking." When Robin left, Zoro got up and searched through the kitchen until he found a bottle of rum. He sat back down at his seat and started drinking right out of the bottle. Luffy had come up behind him.

"Those pancakes were good, weren't they, Zoro?" asked Luffy as he slapped Zoro right on the back. Zoro spat out the rum right on the table and started coughing.

"EW!" cried Nami when some of the rum landed on her pancakes.

"Luffy, you – cough, cough! - dumbass!" shouted Zoro. Luffy backed away from the coughing swordsman. Zoro stood up and glared at the boy. "I'm going to – hack! – murder you!" Luffy ran out of the kitchen screaming when Zoro got out his swords and started chasing him.

Sanji was feeling a lot better that morning. All night he had been throwing up, rarely getting any sleep. On top of all that, he had to deal with Zoro, who kept on saying stuff like, "So, who's the father?" or, "When are you expecting?" If Sanji didn't feel like shit, he would've kicked the swordsman right in the face. He would have also kicked Luffy and Usopp for laughing at Zoro's jokes. For the entire time, Sanji felt that Chopper was his only friend. The little reindeer kept on yelling at the three idiots to shut up and that the jokes weren't funny. When Sanji did finally get to sleep, he dreamt that he was with a bunch of beautiful women. It was the best dream he had ever had. Well, maybe not the best, but at least it was better than the lollipop dream. That morning, when Luffy, Usopp, Zoro, and Chopper had woken up, Sanji was still asleep, dreaming about the beautiful women. Luffy, being as stupid as he was, went up to the sleeping cook, placed his face right next to Sanji's, and yelled at the top of his lungs, "GOOD MORNING, SANJI!" After nearly getting a heart attack, Sanji angrily kicked Luffy so hard, that the captain went flying across the room and crashed into the wall. Sanji turned over on the couch, muttered something about feeding Luffy to the sharks, and went back to sleep. Now he was awake and he felt better than ever. Sanji sat up when he heard a knock on the door.

"Cook-san, may I come in?" Sanji's heart jumped. Robin-chan!

"Of course you may, Robin-chan!" said Sanji happily. Robin came in with a plate of pancakes in her hands. "Those smell good."

"They are good," said Robin, "the others liked them very much." Sanji took a bite out of Robin's cooking.

"These are delicious!" said Sanji. "Robin-chan, did you make these?"

"Yes, I did. Are you feeling any better?"

"Yes. I think that I'll be able to cook again tomorrow."

"That's good to hear." Outside, someone yelled and another person shouted, "Get back here!"

"Uh…is something going on?" asked Sanji.

"I don't know," said Robin, "something must've happened when I left." The yelling got louder.

"I'm guessing it has something to do with Luffy," said Sanji.

"You're probably right." Just then, there was a loud, "Gomu Gomu no Bazooka!" and Luffy crashed through the door, tumbled down the stairs, and landed head first into the wastebasket…that was full of Sanji's used tissues.

"AUGH!" screamed Luffy. "My head's stuck in the wastebasket and I'm breathing in Sanji's snotty tissues! Gross!" As Luffy tried to get the wastebasket off of his head, Zoro came barging into the cabin.

"There you are!" Zoro jumped on Luffy and a cloud of dust formed as they fought. The cloud of dust then rolled out of the cabin and out on deck. There was a painful scream from Luffy and everything was silent.

"Okay…" said Sanji, "that was awkward."

"I think I better go now," said Robin as she left the cabin.
