After everyone had seen Luffy in such a state, nobody could go back to sleep, so they just changed clothes and went back to the galley. Zoro had woken up by himself a few minutes later and headed there too. Once he entered and asked what happened to Luffy, everyone explained him what had happened. Everyone had sat around the table, waiting for Luffy to finish with his eyes hidden by the shadow of his hat.

After a few minutes, Luffy took the plates and put them on the table in front of their respective owners. He didn't sit down, he just stood there, right next to the bar, watching them.

A monotonous "Mmm..." was heard throughout the galley after everyone had tasted their food.

"This is delicious! No way Luffy could cook this!" exclaimed Chopper, watching his plate in awe.

"Well, apparently he can..." said Zoro before having his second bite.

"Luffy, thanks for the- hey, where are you going?" Ussop had looked at Luffy and found him walking to the door. He stood up from his seat and approached Luffy, putting his hand on Luffy's shoulder. The raven haired captain has his head down, his hat still hiding his eyes.

"Luffy... is something wrong?" Asked Brook from the other end of the room.

"..."

"You should really get some rest, you haven't slept all night," suggested Robin, who was sitting next to Brook.

"...Aa." Luffy croaked as he walked away from Ussop's grasp and into the bone freezing chill of the morning as he opened the door. Ussop stood there, lowering his arm slowly and returned to his seat. Silence reigned over their heads for awhile.

"That was odd..." Said Nami.

"Yeah, Luffy can cook!" exclaimed Franky, resuming his meal.

"No, besides that." said Nami, "Luffy didn't make breakfast for himself… and he looks so calm."

"He might be sleepy, that's all," said Robin. "Or worried..."

Silence reined the room once again, but this one was longer and heavier, only interrupted by whoever dared to while hit their forks too hard on their plates. Thoughts going though everyone's mind in a fast pace.


After breakfast, everyone's stomach was pleased with the meal, but getting earlier than normal and so abruptly plus their worry for Luffy when they saw him hadn't added up very good, so everyone except Robin went back to bed, the men finding Luffy snoring already in a heavy sleep.

Nami went to her and Robin's room not before brushing her teeth. She loved the taste that stayed on her tongue from the food, but she had to take care of her hygiene. She knew the boys wouldn't, Chopper and Robin would, Brook loved his bones so she guessed he would too.

Once in her bed and covered in sheets, her mind kept wandering, thoughts tangling and changing subject too much too fast until they went from stupid and useless to completely incoherent as she slowly drifted to sleep.

The ship was silent once again; it's type of silence, anyway. Robin was in the Crows Nest, having coffee she just made from a mug. Her eyes were everywhere around the ship, not a single corner of the Sunny left unseen.

There was almost no way for Robin to feel bored, even now she was entertained. She saw as everybody slept in their bed or bunk, and the boy's antics while they were sleeping were enough for her to keep her from falling asleep anytime… along with the coffee.

The sun had risen a long time now, but she knew everyone needed their rest, and even if she knew everyone was worried and asked themselves what had happened to Sanji, she knew Luffy was the most worried. She saw as her captain tossed and turned in his bunk, almost falling from the edge but then tossing to the other side, as if he had known what was happening.


He knew Sanji had disappeared, yet there he was, cooking so fast he could fly and complimenting Nami on her new clothes as both were inside the galley when Luffy entered. Once again, Sanji was wearing that small crown on his head. Nami though, had a black choker necklace, those that are worn on the low part of the neck above the collarbone. It had a tiny tangerine by the side. She was eating a snack Sanji made especially for her.

They noticed Luffy after a while, paused what they were doing and smiled at him warmly.

"What is it, Luffy?" asked Sanji from behind the bar.

"I just came to see if dinner was done," answered Luffy with a grin.

"Aa… It'll be ready in a couple of minutes," said Sanji

"Great!" he exclaimed before leaving the galley, a blinding light coming through the doorway.


Slightly shorter than usual, but for a good reason.. SOMETHING HAPPENS NEXT! DUN DUN DUUUN... or else it wouldn't be a story! Ha ha! *slaped* Fine, bad joke, if it can even be considered a joke. Just here to tell you not to get your hopes up if I leave you in some sort of cliffhanger.

Feel free to correct me in any mistakes I've made.
