Chapter 4: Evil enemies

Sanji's dad had joined the fight, but noticed he hadn't seen Sanji surface. He, himself, had taught Sanji to swim, but was growing concerned. After the men had fled, Sanji still was nowhere to be seen. It had been three minutes before he had gone to save Kara. "Oh, Sanji, Baby!" Dasiy sobbed. Kara floated to the surface. Nami helped her onto dry land as she coughed up water.

"Sanji!" Kara exclaimed, crying.

"We may not be brothers by blood, but that don't matter!" Saku said before he dove in. Sanji was on the bottom. Saku needed air. He quickly grabbed his brother. "He's...Ok...I...Think." Saku panted. Saku set Sanji on the grass and sat beside him.

Nami listened for Sanji's heartbeat. It was there but slow. "He'll be fine." Sanji gasped and spit out water.

Sanji sat beside Saku "Thanks Bro," He gave his younger brother a hi-five. "Kara, you okay?"

"Yea, but my wheelchair..."

"Sorry, it's too heavy." Sanji said. He stood. "I'm glad you're ok. Mom, Dad, I want you to lead Usopp, Nami, and Kara back to the house." The cook turned to Zolo, Saku, and Luffy. Let's track down those basturds!"

"Sanji, honey, maybe you should rest." Dasiy touched her son's shoulder.

Sanji hugged and smiled at her. "Mom, I'm a pirate. I'll be fine."

Dasiy kissed him. "Okay, if you say so, Dear." Sanji nodded. "Be careful."

"I will, Mom."

Dasiy smiled though watery eyes. "I love you."

"Love you, too." Sanji waved as he, Saku, Zolo, and Luffy ran in the direction the men had fled.


Author's note: Sorry for the short chapter! I was writing this chapter while listening to "Desert wa kimi" sung by Hiroaki Hirata (Sanji's japanese voice actor)! It's really awesome! Please review!
