Not including his ears and his tail, Sanji had a somewhat strange life full of fighting and cooking, and just maybe a little flirting then and there. Today was even more strange for the cook. First of all, a canon ball flew in through the roof and now they have a new washer boy, (Thank god for that) but now, the dining room was dead silent. The doors were opened to reveal a sickly skinny man. Bones crept out and gave the man a very edgy look. Sanji could tell the lack of nutrition in the pirate is slowly killing him. The man was about to die, no doubt. Sanji could smell the dark aroma of death looming around the edgy figure.

The Pirate was now walking slowly towards a table, ignoring the hundred eyes staring into him. Sanji winced at the walking corpse. He sat down at the nearest table. While sitting his head kept bobbing, struggling just to keep his eyes open. Patty started to walk over to the table with a huge fake toothy grin. In seconds, Patty was standing over the pirate.

"Why hello there! Welcome to our little humble restaurant!" Sanji could feel the exaggeration in the big head man's voice as well as a couple of snickers. Sanji frowned and watched from a distance.

"Get me some dang food." Grumbled the pirate in a soft voice. Sanji wouldn't have been able to pick up his voice from this far away of it weren't for his advanced hearing. Though, even hearing it, the sound was muffled due to the floppy hat on Sanji's head. Though after hearing how weak the man's voice was, Sanji started to walk to the kitchen. He was gonna make some dang food for this man. Also, knowing Patty, the man was gonna need this food to feel less pain.

As Sanji predicted, Patty had humiliated the pirate. It didn't even take long for the pirate to get punched in the face and tossed out the doors. Which was somewhat surprising even though the big headed cook had a reputation to get impatient with people who had no beri. This is what made Sanji so bitter towards the man. No matter how hungry the customer was, Patty only cared if he had some type of pay. To Sanji's disliking, he had to work with a greedy snot like him, but of course, he never mentioned how he felt towards the cook aloud.

The warm plate was burning the blonde's finger tips but he ignored the pain. He kept walking towards the exit of the building with the steaming plate over his hand. Sanji finally made it out the door and onto the wooden deck walkway. The wood creaked under every footstep the blonde made as he ever so approached the trembling pirate. A gust of wind tug on the chef hat the fox wore till it finally gave in and drifted off with the wind. Knowing how hungry the man was, it didn't take long for the warm aroma to hit the man's nose, forcing him to turn in Sanji's direction. His weak eyes just stared at the food on top of the plate, never glancing over to the now revealed fox ears.

Finally, when Sanji reached the starving man, he moved the plate from his hand to the floor. The little clink sound seemed to snap the man back to reality.

"What is this, pity?" Growled the man but came out more like a wheezing sound. Pity, now that is probably what most people would think about Sanji's actions. The thing is, Sanji never felt pity. He was a man that acted out on his own accord, not to another's emotions. Sanji shook his head at the man.

"No, I would never pity over scum like you, lets just consider this, hmm, an understanding action," Sanji started to light a cigarette. To Sanji's dismay, the man didn't touch the food.

"Your probably gonna die if you don't eat that," The blond never made eye contact when saying that. The pirate shook his head at Sanji with a a venomous gaze.

"Why would I eat this then? Maybe I want to die!" Sanji bared his fangs at the man's ignorance while giving the man a sharp glare. His piercing diamond like eyes sent shivers down the pirates back.

"A man who wants to die is already walking around dead, but look at you, a pirate, living fully on the seas. You want to live, I can see it in your eyes. Tell me," Sanji blew a little puff of smoke and continued. "Is it just your pride holding you back from living?" The pirate winced at this, never before has a man told him he should live. He swallowed a little, feeling a little lightheaded. His eyes started to water. And just like that, while crying out his stubbornness, the man started to wolf down the food like the end of the world is coming. In between bites, the man said thank you and continued to cry while Sanji just smirked.

"Anyways, my name is Sanji, the sous chef around here," The blond smiled at the man expecting for him to reply. To his luck, he did.

"Gin, part of the Krieg pirates," A lot of food was stuffed in his mouth so it sounded a bit weird.

"And my name is Luffy! Shishishi!" Sanji quickly looked up to see the jet black haired kid sitting on the railing above them. Sanji just waved at Luffy while Gin smiled at the boy.

"Your a pirate aren't you?" He spoke with more confidence than before. Luffy laughed.

"Shishishi! Yup thats right! I'm gonna become the king of pirates to be exact!" Sanji and Gin's mouths flew open and just like that, the trio of men got into a conversation about the Grandline. Sanji did not know what to say about this since he didn't know much about the pirates graveyard, Gin and Luffy mostly talked to each other instead. Gin stated that the Grandline was death itself. That it was cruel and twisted. Many pirates either die or get their dreams crush there. Sanji was thinking about what Gin said while Luffy just kept laughing and smiling.

"I don't care what other people say about the Grandline! I'm gonna follow my dream and only death will stop me, not just some baloney words!" Luffy shouted with pride. He sure was quite the kid. Gin smiled at Luffy's enthusiasm as he got up from where he sat. Thats when Gin realized something.

"Hey, Sanji, feeding me... are you going to get fired by that!" The blonde only smirked as he picked up the plate. He took a good look at the white shiny plate. Not a single crumb left. He threw the plate into the ocean.

"No, as long as they don't have evidence, I'm fine," Stated Sanji. Gin felt relief wash over him. He started towards the front of The Baratie but stopped mid way.

"Thanks again for the food Sanji, and Luffy..." Luffy looked up and stared into Gin's eyes. "Good luck in the Grandline!" He then waved the back off his hand at the two men and continued off to his little raft. Finally, when Gin left, Luffy jumped down to the platform below.

"Hey, Sanji! I decided your gonna join my crew," Luffy was once again staring at the fox ears with a sheepish pokerface.

"Eh?!" Sanji bared his fangs at Luffy.

"You can't just decide I'm gonna be on your crew!" Sanji yelled up at Luffy's face but the young boy didn't blink at all. "I refuse to join your pirate crew!" Shouted Sanji once again.

"Well you know what! I refuse your refusal!" Luffy shouted back at Sanji.

This kid...
