Luffy

I was flying through the air after rocketing myself from the Sunny's lawn deck. I didn't want to wait anymore, the island was right there! Franky and Zoro had just dropped the anchor when I shot past them.

"LUFFY, YOU IDIOT!" Usopp called.

I just laughed. I landed on the shore, a white sanded beach with palm trees. I didn't wait for the others to catch up, I began exploring.

By the time the others had arrived, I had found a blue starfish, a hermit crab, and a coconut. I was building a sand castle for the crab (I used the starfish as the front door) when Nami hit my head.

"Hahahahaha Nami that hurts!" I giggled.

"You idiot! Next time wait for us!"

"But I built this sand castle for you guys!" I pointed.

Usopp snorted. "Liar.."

"That's ironic," Franky mused.

"Let's keep exploring now!" I bounced.

Brook peered off in the distance. "I think I see a nice meadow over there, except I don't have eyes to see with! YOHOHOHO SKULL JOKE!"

Zoro facepalmed.

I laughed and began to head towards the grassy area.


Sanji

It was such a beautiful day. We were walking through a meadow, the sun was shining, and there were two beautiful girls in front of me.

I sighed with delight.

While Luffy was putting a giant snail he had found on Usopp's nose, I stepped between the ladies.

"It sure is beautiful," I smiled.

Nami scrunched her nose. "The snail?"

Oops. "No, the island, the sun, and of course, you two!" Nice recovery!

"Thank you, Cook-san," Robin smiled. I almost died with joy.

"Oi, Nami!" Luffy called. He was holding the 6-inch long snail. "Grab Chopper's hat!"

"EEH?" The reindeer backed away from Luffy.

"Do it! Usopp, you do it!"

Usopp grabbed Chopper's hat.

"OI! GIVE IT BACK!"

"Chopper, watch this, hold on!" Luffy put his arms around him. "Just stop moving!" He laughed, then put the snail on his head.

Nami giggled as Chopper struggled to remove the snail from his head. I felt a pang of envy as she and Robin moved closer to Luffy and Usopp, who were rolling on the ground with laughter.

"Zoro, help me!" Chopper pleaded.

"Idiots," he muttered as he pulled the snail off Chopper's head. "Oi, watch this Chopper." In one move, Zoro had placed the snail on Luffy's face.

"Baka marimo, how vulga-" I began, but I trailed off as Nami and Robin burst into laughter.

What was wrong with me?

Normally, I'd be laughing too. Instead, I wanted to kick that idiot swordsman and Luffy.

My imagination took over. I envisioned Robin glancing over her shoulder. "Cook-san, you should laugh with us!"

I imagined myself laughing as I kicked Zoro's face. "Sanji, you're amazing!" Nami cried.

I practically fainted.

"Cook-san?"

I looked up. The others had started walking away. She was looking over her shoulder. "Are you alright?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah I'm fine... I was just thinking about something.."

She nodded, and continued walking.

I sighed.


Nami

Huh. It was weird.

Something was up with Sanji, and somehow I felt partially responsible.

He wasn't saying much, and he wasn't really laughing at anything. The expression on his face made him look fine, but I could tell that he wasn't entertained.

Maybe we said something?

No, that wasn't it. Maybe he's just thinking about something serious.

Chopper was talking to a fox Luffy had found. It was cute.

"He says he likes you, Luffy!" Chopper announced.

"What about me?" I asked.

The fox whined a little. "He says you're pretty."

I could almost feel Sanji tense up behind me. Was that it? Jealousy? Over a fox?

"Aww, thank you! You're so sweet!" I was testing him that time.

"I think Nami-swan is adorable!" He cried. Now he was just trying to get attention. "Robin-chwaan! You are too, of course!"

Zoro rolled his eyes. "He's competing with a fox.." he muttered to himself.

Sanji leapt in the air. Zoro unsheathed his swords as Sanji's foot came for his face, and blocked the attack.

"YOU GOT SOMETHING TO SAY, MARIMO?"

"Heh, you're the one getting all jealous!"

Sanji kicked again, this time landing a blow on Zoro's shoulder. Demonic as Zoro was, it didn't really affect him. He hit Sanji back with the flat side of his katana.

"Girls, you're both pretty. Can we save the fighting for the enemy?" Franky intervened.

Sanji restrained himself from kicking the shipwright.

I bit my lip.

Something was up.
