Such a gorgeous lady! Oh such wonderful eyes that are deep with emotions! Sanji's heart felt like it was exploding when he was pouring the expensive wine into the fancy glass. He already knew that this chick was part of that stupid head's crew, but he still had a hard time trying to believe that. But, unfortunately, the evidence was quite clear since two other idiots sat by her and the washer boy did mention her name as if they known each other for quite some time. Nami, if he remembered correctly. The name reminded of him of a wave. Powerful and calm, mixed with beauty.
The only thing that did not support Sanji's theory was the smell of fear around her. This worried Sanji quite some bit to the point that he had to ignore it to act natural. Weird to say that though, Sanji is anything but natural...
"Oh my, your such a gorgeous lady. I'm so sorry but I just can't help myself!" Sanji pulled out a red rose from under his suit. He's been saving this rose for a special occasion. Good thing it didn't rot yet, that would just ruin the fox's reputation with the ladies if he gave a sweet lady a rotten rose!
"My sweet darling! If it meant to be by your side of love, I would totally become a pirate for you!" Nami blushed and giggled inside. She thought this man was just being an idiot, but for some reason she can't help to feel happy by him like the others. She could feel her cheeks growing warmer by the second! Oh no, was she blushing! No, no, no she can't be blushing it'll only make her look like she was just a weak woman falling for this pervert!
Then the man suddenly stopped swooning over her. She could hear the blonde swearing under his breath as he took his eyes off of hers and turn around to face a man missing a leg and wore the most ridiculous chef hat out there. Nami could feel herself trying to laugh but she fought it since this man didn't seem the type to joke around with.
"Maybe you should join them," The old geezer smirked as he stared down into Sanji's ice blue eyes. The blonde felt anger boil inside of him.
"No way! My home is here and I'm never going to leave, no matter how many times you kick me down gramps!" The smirk on Zeff's face faded. A few seconds passed with no one making any sudden movements.
"Stupid fox, just shut up and realize that every second your getting older and soon enough, you'll be an old geezer too, to weak to do anything! Go chase your dreams while your still young brat," Sanji could feel his sharp nails digging into his skin as he clenched his fists tightly. He knew the old man was right. He knew he should join these bunch of idiots (excluding the sexy lady, she's probably really smart!). He knew he should chase his dream. He knew that everything he does here is just a waste of time! He knew it all and he indeed wanted to go and leave but one thing was holding him back. It was a feeling. A feeling that linked him and the old geezer together in a way that broke the poor fox's heart.
Guilt.
Zeff will never be the same because of him. And Sanji, will never feel free as long as he felt this burden that he needed to carry out.
Slowly, Sanji got up off from his knees and onto his feet, making sure not to make eye contact with the older chef. He then turned, and walked away. No words were said, only the sound of the dress shoes making contact with the tiles were heard. Zeff sighed and muttered something that Nami couldn't quite catch. Zeff then followed Sanji's movements and left the room too. The chattering then started up again. Nami couldn't feel but a little sad for the blonde.
A lot of people don't know this about Nami, but she loves to poke into other people's businesses. What can she say? She's a curios girl.
"Ey, Zoro what did that old guy say?" Whispered Nami towards her green haired friend. The swordsman looked like he was daydreaming again for he jumped a little when Nami spoke to him.
"The one with the funny looking hat?" Zoro yawned. Nami just nodded, as she notice her eyes stare into the direction the blonde went.
"He said, 'This fox needs to learn that I already have forgiven him'" Zoro stared at the other side of the dining room. Nami couldn't tell what he was staring at though.
Forgiven what? Nami needed to know, maybe she can make the blonde tell her what since he seemed to be the type to be easily fooled by woman.
"Man Zoro, its really scary how you can hear so well," Usopp started while sweating nervously. The long nose sniper knew why he was sweating but he never told anyone why. The thing is is that Zoro scares him, but he didn't know why...
"Whats really scary about Zoro is that he wears that bandanna everywhere we go, he never takes it off, like come on, your not gonna make any frineds if you scare them away, Zoro!" Nami chuckled a little at her own joke. Zoro just grunted.
"I never take this off because it doesn't feel right without it on!" Zoro detested. Usopp knew he was lying by being a lier himself. The sniper just sighed as he finished his food. He just needs to relax, one day, he will know why Zoro keeps it on, but not today.
Maybe tomorrow?
Sorry for not updating sooner, I have been busy over the holidays preparing for Christmas and preparing for a new years party! Anyways hope you enjoy this chapter. :C
