A/N: WARNING: Note you might not wish to read while eating ... ohh and a Happy (late) Mother's Day to all! Oh fuck I'm so gunna get flamed for that once you all piece it together xD

---------------- Chapter 9 / No

The clock that normally was on the nightstand by Ace's bed now currently laid on the floor blinking a little past 2PM. Ace let one of his hands lift from the blonde that was at the moment sleeping on his chest, and rubbed at his face to shake the sleep off him as he yawned out. That had been one fucking crazy night / morning. Ace could not remember the last time he had gone off like that... fuck he was not even sure if he ever had. Sanji was a wild one that seemed to just naturally bring out the same aspect in another or lest he had for him.

Ace shifted a bit in the bed and groaned out as his cock rubbed against the blonde's thigh. Fuck his dick felt raw.

The noise and movement stirred Sanji to wake and he nuzzled his head to Ace's chest. A joy washed over him. Ace was still here. He had not ran off in a hurry to get away after getting what he wanted. It just made Sanji slip that much more in assurance that this man was the real deal.

"Ah crap I didn't mean to wake you... my foot was just going to sleep." Ace smirked as he told the little lie not wanting to admit to the truth of it and let his hand come down to run his fingers through Sanji's golden locks.

The blonde turned his face up so he could see the other man. "Mmm it's ok… you ready for the next round?" he purred.

Ace laughed at this, so much for trying to keep it a secret now, "Sorry I don't think my dick can take it right now…give me a few more hours ne?"

Sanji pouted and laid a kiss to Ace's chest "It's alright my ass could use a break anyways… and a good soak." He blushed and kissed the other man's chest again.

Ace licked his lips as he watched Sanji and felt the desire stir with in him and grunted as he had to shift again. The sprit was willing but the flesh was weak. He so needed to get out of this bed and take a cold fucking shower else he was worried his dick was going to detach its self from him slap him in the face and go on paid vacation from being over worked.

"You want to use the bathroom first?" Ace asked making it clear he would not be joining the man…oh how he would like to but really there was only so much temptation a man could put himself through.

Sanji pouted and moved to set up but winced and lay back down on Ace. "Erm… That's ok maybe I'll just lay here for a bit longer…but a cigarette would be fucking great right now… you see my jacket anywhere?"

A frown came to Ace's face at the small sound of pain coming from the blonde and Ace eased himself out from under the other man letting Sanji lay then to his side. "I will find it … fuck..." his frown deepened as he sat on the edge of the bed now able to fully see Sanji. The bandage on the blonde's gut had little pin picks of blood on it. Hardly noticeable but Ace had been looking for any signs he had really hurt the man.

Tentatively Ace reached out and traced a thumb around the bandage. "I should get Chopper in here to look at that... does it hurt much ... I didn't open up your stitches did I?" Ace asked in a flurry of questions and concern.

A small smile came to Sanji's face, "Baka…I'm fine just a little sore from a good work out. Don't worry so much."

Ace lifted his dark eyes to that that smiling face. "I didn't want to hurt you." he pouted.

Sanji reached up a hand to cup the side of Ace's check and softly let his thumb rub along the man's high cheekbone. "You didn't do nothing that I didn't want…and beg you many times over for."

Ace had to gulp as he felt his cock stir once more and then protest in slight pain. "Fuck… now I really need that cold shower."

This time it was Sanji's turn to laugh and let his hand fall away from Ace and propped himself up on an elbow with hand under his head. "Then go take one… just give me a cigarette before you go."

Ace smirked and got up, "I'm going, I'm going." and worked his way across the room. Now with the afternoon light coming in though the window, the room looked a hell of a lot messier. He would really need to clean it and get Luffy to keep his shit picked up …and remind himself to do the same.

The gun slinger went down to one knee by the door where he found Sanji's jacket and started to dig through the man's pockets looking for the cigarette pack. Yet when his hand fell onto a bag and metal case in the inside pocket of the jacket curiosity got the better of Ace and he pulled the objects out.

Ace's eyes narrowed at the hefty bag of crack as he turned it over in his hand and stared at the logo on it of that fucked up smile face…the same logo that had been burned into Sanji's face. He wanted rip the bag to shares but he held off on such actions in favor of opening the metal long container and his anger flared again. Inside neatly set up in section spaces where many other drugs. A few joints (weed already rolled up), Ace did not mind that even he was guilty of partaking in that now and then but it was the other stuff. Small little bags with the same logo on them, containing uppers like crystal meth, speed, and downers like benzos. They looked manly like little sample baggies but there were many enough to call for worry. As well in the case were tools for using the drugs like a mirror and razor (most likely for the crack) and two pipes.

Ace turned around and looked to Sanji holding the things still in his hand. The blonde sat up leaning to one side the smile gone from his face. "Those are not my cigarettes."

"No they are not." Ace confirmed and frowned looking at the things again then to Sanji, his frown deeper now. "This is a lot Sanji…I mean really a lot."

Sanji looked away not able to hold Ace's gaze and rubbed one of his arms. "I like to host parties now and then at some clubs."

Ace picked up the coat and moved back over to the bed though chose to sit on the floor and sat the bag and metal case on the bed as he went back to search for the cigarettes in the jacket he held in his lap. "You were high last night you said … mixing stuff like this is not good Sanji. It's dangerous." Ace tried to get the point across he was worried as he finally found the pack and pulled out a stick and put it in his own mouth as he fished out the lighter and lit the cigarette.

Sanji pulled a pillow over to the end of the bed near where Ace sat on the floor and lay down on his belly using the pillow for extra padding for his elbows. He had to twist the sheet around a bit having had his legs tangled in it but now they were pulled free and the dark blue sheet rested just over his ass. "I'm careful…really Ace I'm a big boy."

Ace took a drag off the cigarette, he didn't smoke often but now and then he would take a few drags off someone's or bum one from someone. He held out the stick to Sanji as he exhaled the smoke. "You could quit anytime you wanted?"

Sanji gratefully took the cigarette and took a pull from it before he answered. "No." There was no point in lying. "But if it gets to bad I will just switch. I first started with El Diablito but Doflamingo made me quit after a few …'accidents'."

Ace frowned again, "What's El Diablito?"

Sanji blushed and stretched himself out on the bed taking another puff or two from his cigarette. "Heroin." he finally answered and looked around then asked, "Is there an ashtray in here?"

"Heroin?!" Ace nearly yelled. "And you had accidents with it? Fuck Sanji you could have died from that shit…" as he lectured he moved to the drawer on the floor with contents spilled everywhere from last night and fished out an ashtray for the blonde and sat it next to Sanji's drug collection near the blonde.

"But I didn't." Sanji pouted. "And I don't do it anymore… so see I'm in control of what I use." he assured.

Ace looked at the loot of drugs there on the corner of his bed, "Yeah real control that you need to carry this much around."

Sanji flicked some of the ashes from his cigarette in the ashtray provided for him. "They keep me sane." He pouted more and stared hard at the ashtray.

Ace reached out putting a hand under Sanji's chin to lift his face. "I could keep you sane... I could keep you happy Sanji... you don't need this shit anymore... let me throw it out?"

Sanji found it hard to keep the gaze being forced on him. "I ….I can't do that Ace… I need them."

"No you don't." Ace rose on his knees and put his face in Sanji's, "All you need is right here…" and he then kissed the blonde deeply. The kiss was nothing lustful but full of Ace's feelings of what he was starting think just might be love for Sanji. Whatever those feelings were he tried to push them in that kiss so Sanji could feel them.

Sanji kissed Ace back his heart blazing and when Ace pulled back Sanji was left with emotional confusion. It had been a long time since he had been kissed like that…in truth only one other person in the world had kissed him like that…maybe that is what confused him so much about the kiss.

Ace then tried again and asked, "Let me throw them out?"

As Sanji opened his mouth as a knock came at the door and the blonde's eyes flickered to it as he herd the gruff voice of Zoro, "Yo Ace? You up man?"

Irritated at the interruption at such an important moment Ace called back, "Yeah just a sec." He stroked Sanji's face. "We are not done talking about this." he said very mater of fact like then got up but Sanji said nothing in reply to that. Ace went on to open some draws in the dresser in the room, shifting things around till he finally found a clean pair of sweat pants and pulled them on. Once covered Ace went to the door and unlocked it and opened it.

"What's up?" Ace questioned the swordsman.

"Luffy and the others need to talk to you about some huh… business." The green haired man answered his eyes not able to help but look over the mess of the room then stopped at the sight of the blonde laying there in one of the beds.

Sanji smirked at Zoro when he noticed he was being eyed over. He let his body relax lazily and licked his bottom lip slowly before bringing his cigarette back up to his rosy lips to suck on the butt of it.

"Can it wait I'm kinda in the middle of something." Ace grumbled trying to get the man's eyes back on him.

Zoro blinked at the question his eyes popping back to Ace. "It's rather important … besides you were 'the middle of something' all night and morning asshole. Really could you guys get any louder?" He crossed his arms across his chest trying to keep his eyes to Ace and Ace only.

The gun slinger snickered. "Yeah sorry about that…"

"Uh-huh you look real sorry." Zoro mocked.

Rubbing the back of his neck Ace looked back to Sanji, "Hey I will be right back…then we can finish our ... talk."

"Answer is still the same…sorry." Sanji pouted.

Ace frowned once more, "We will talk when I get back." Ace said again and moved past a confused swordsman to go find his brother to hurry up and find out what was so damn important.

Sanji puffed away on his cigarette wondering how he would get around this problem with Ace when he noticed Zoro was still in the doorway and looking at him.

When the swordsman was caught staring he turned to move away.

"Marimo?" Sanji called out making the man stop and turn back around to look at him again.

Sanji's one visible blue eye ran over the swordsman taking him in, tight blue jeans and a simple black tank top showing off his well formed muscled arms and his black bandana trying to cover that seaweed nest of his.

Zoro fidgeted in the doorway his hand on the doorknob as he waited for Sanji to say something. His eyes not able to help but run over again on the blonde as he laid there in nothing just some flimsy sheet that was not even covering all of that pert shapely ass of his. Zoro could just make out the crack of the cook's ass.

Sanji then rolled over onto his side to face the man while letting his cigarette dangle from his mouth as he let his body be on display for the swordsman and watched as the man let his eyes take in the new amount of skin shown to him.

Zoro felt as if the room had become much warmer all of a sudden since Sanji had turned to his side. The swordsman could not take his eyes from those attractive curves the way Sanji's narrow hips still allowed there to be a sensual dip to his much more narrow waistline that lead up to chiseled abs and chest, the cook's body small but so prefect in structure. The sheet then shifted dropping another inch and Zoro's breath caught in his throat as his face turned a bright red. The sheet still covered the cook but it was now so close to showing what treasure lay there between the blonde's legs. Zoro's breathe then came back but was coming a little faster now then normal as he narrowed his eyes on that sheet willing it to just fall away. His blush became brighter then realizing he was having such thoughts and could no longer take the silence of the room.

In the swordsman's best annoyed voice he could give at the moment he asked, "W-well?"

Sanji blew out a breath of smoke and grinned at the man before replying, "You're really sexy when you blush like that just for me." his voice coming out in a sultry tone.

Zoro's eyes shot open wide and if one had thought he had been red faced before he was near purple now. The swordsman turned so fast after that slamming the door shut with him and then just stood there for a moment before remembering to breathe and panted in air to his lungs as his heart thumped away loudly in his chest. "Fuck…" he gasped in whisper to himself. "What the hell was that?" He was so shaken up, his pants straining against his now rock hard member as he leaned forward and rested his hands to his knees and just took in more panting breaths.

No, no, no, no! I do not like that shitty cook, I do not! He told himself. Ace is with him anyways I can't do anything about it even if I did! He affirmed the facts and that seemed to help.

Before anyone could see him like this he quickly hurried to the bathroom to take care of his 'problem' yet as he worked his member in his hand and tried thinking about Luffy that fucking blonde kept popping up in his head… the sight of him rolling over and that sheet shifting. Before Zoro knew what was what he was cumming picturing what Sanji would look like under him making those sounds and screams like he had last night.

Zoro stared at the mess in his hand in disbelief, "Fuck…I like that shitty cook." he whispered to himself.


Ace had gotten filled in on what everyone else knew from Robin's and Chopper's discovery that afternoon while he and Sanji had been sleeping. As well as the now plan to take Sanji to the Baratie tonight for dinner, but it would have to be done secret. That was where Ace came in. He was sups to keep Sanji distracted on the drive over so the cook would not notice where they were taking him too.

After going through the plan Ace came back to his room to find the mini drug store packed up and put back in Sanji's coat and the blonde faking sleep. Ace decided it leave it and take a shower. Once they got Sanji free of Doflamingo there would be tons of time to help him clean up.

After Ace's shower he got Sanji set up for the bath he wanted and then the two both each in a pair of Ace's sweats joined the others in the living room. While Sanji's clothing were being washed.

Luffy, Usopp, Johnny and Yosaku sat before the large TV playing a game on the PS12 as they whooped and yelled.

Nami and Kaya sat on the loveseat looking though some magazines together on various clothing styles.

On the sofa sat Franky with his arm around his girlfriend Robin who was reading while Franky talked with Brook on some remodeling the bar Brook worked at was getting done.

While Chopper and Zoro sat in two bean bag chairs near the TV and the loud group playing on it. Chopper trying to read but he would every now and then glace over to the sofa and fidget then went back to reading again. While Zoro tried to watch the game the others played while lifting a dumbbell switching it off on arms every other set he did. Yet the swordsman was having trouble keeping count as his eyes would keep leaving the big screen TV and drifting to Ace and mainly Sanji.

The new couple, Ace and Sanji sat together in the large plush chair that matched the love seat and sofa. Sanji in Ace's lap as Ace rested a big bowl of cereal on Sanji's lap.

"Open." smirked Ace as he tried to get Sanji to open his mouth for the large serving spoon of cereal.

Sanji pressed his lips together tightly and sucked in his lips trying to turn his head away from the offered spoon.

"Come on just one more bite…for me?" Ace begged.

Sanji shook his head no keeping his mouth shut still.

"Ahh… but if you don't…I will just have to…" Ace let the spoon tilt so a drop of icy cold milk splattered on the blonde's bare chest.

"Gaw! You ass that is cold and I just got clean, and mrfh!" The cook was shut up due the spoon getting shoved in his mouth. Sanji glared at the gun slinger but ate the spoonful that was left behind in his mouth.

"You know you like it. No one can deny the Cookie Flakes'n Marshmallows!" beamed Ace. He had been obsessed with the new cereal ever since it had came out last year and now the ship was always stocked up on some else they had a very bitchy fire shooter on their hands.

After getting down the spoonful Sanji huffed, "I can and I will! That shit is nothing but sugar. Why don't I just get a bag of sugar for you, it would give you less cavities."

Ace now pouted like a sad little boy who just got their favorite toy crushed, "But I like my Cookie Flakes'n Marshmallows."

Sanji could not help but smile and lean in and kiss Ace softly, "Then you eat them baka."

The gun slinger grinned kissing the cook back then fed him self a spoonful.

"You should eat them too…" Zoro found himself saying.

Sanji blinked and looked over at the swordsman, "Oh?"

Zoro turned his head to the blonde and grinned, "Yeah… would do your skinny ass some good. You're nothing but skin and bones."

Sanji bristled as the swordsman hit a sensitive vein streak the cook had about his appearance. "There is nothing wrong with the way I look! You're just so thick of muscle anything would seem small to you!"

"Or maybe you're just so skinny everything would seem big to you!" Zoro shot back with a mocking grin.

"Dammit Zoro leave him alone I'm trying to get him to eat here!" Ace huffed not so much minding the fight but it was the fact Sanji's attention had been so easily taken away from him that bugged him.

"And you're having to feed him like a baby, it's pathetic. He needs to man up and eat like a big boy by himself." Zoro sneered

"Oi!" Sanji flared with anger.

Chopper seemed to finally realize there was a problem going on and pulled his eyes away from the sofa where he had been staring to try and figure out what was going on.

"What, is it such a hard concept to figure out that food goes in your mouth." Zoro teased the blonde.

"How about my foot goes in your ass, muscle-head!" Sanji barked back as he rose to his feet.

The swordsman as well got to his feet letting his weight set to the floor. "Psh I could snap you like the twig you are!"

Both cook and swordsman took steps to each other getting there faces right in the others.

"You keep pushing it moss-for-brains and I will show you just what I can do!" growled out Sanji.

"Tch! Like you could when you're not even man enough to say what your fucking problem with foods is!" mocked the swordsman. Since having been told about some of Sanji's past from the info Robin and Chopper got, he was now really kinda curious about what Sanji's deal with food was since he had, had it for so long.

Ace and Chopper now got between them. Chopper pushing Zoro back and Ace pulling Sanji back.

Sanji let himself be pulled back some by Ace, "That is personal!" he huffed some of his anger leaving as his memories started to slip in from the event that had caused it all.

Zoro didn't let himself be pushed back more then a step as he narrowed his eyes at the blonde, "Its fucking food, how bad could it have been. What did your daddy not buy you your favorite ice cream flavor one day?" he mocked on.

"My father made me eat my mother you asshole!" Sanji then yelled out in anger, it returning in full force and then some. After he said it, he then was so shocked at himself he clasped a hand over his mouth as his one visible blue eye stared at Zoro in surprise.

The room had suddenly gone utterly silent after Sanji's confession. All eyes were turned on Sanji and then he finally panicked and ran out of the room and up top side to the ship's deck.

Everyone in the living room still stood/sat there frozen in position in shock.

It was Chopper you broke the silence, "Y-you should have not pushed something like that out of him Zoro."

"Very unsuper swordsman." Franky shook his head at Zoro.

"How was I sups to know it was something like that!" paled Zoro.

Luffy crossed his arms, "Well now you do. You need to go say your sorry, now!"

Zoro blinked and really didn't think a, 'hey sorry your dad was really fucked up and sorry I pushed it out of you' was going to do it.

"I concur." Chopper nodded and pulled Zoro's arm into a tight hold, "Right now!"

Ace took Zoro's other arm, "Defiantly." agreed the gun slinger.

Together Chopper and Ace half dragged the swordsman up to the deck and found Sanji sitting on the rail of the back of the ship smoking a cigarette looking out at the water.

Ace and Chopper then pushed Zoro to the cook and Sanji turned his head to them. There was no emotion on the man's face …he just seemed blank.

Zoro had never felt more like shit in his life as he looked at blonde. Why had he pushed so hard? He had been pissed…pissed he liked the cook, pissed he had to listen to Ace screw the cook all night, pissed the cook had teased the fuck out of him this afternoon, pissed Ace and Sanji were so snuggly up in that chair and …he, Zoro was an ass.

"Look…I'm sorry I didn't think…" Zoro started but was cut off.

"No…It's ok." Sanji smiled now at him.

Zoro was not the only one to look confused as hell as Ace and Chopper both gaped open their mouths.

"To be honest …it kinda felt good to yell it out like that." Sanji gave a shrug and flicked the ashes off his cigarette. "I'm not saying I wish I didn't just tell everyone in the room my personal business but ... it felt good to get something like that off my chest. So... thanks for being a dick." Sanji smirked.

Zoro blinked again not sure if he should be grateful or insulted or better yet just ring the fucker's neck. If it had been him and someone had pushed something out so personal he would want to kick their ass not thank them, unless maybe Sanji had not meant what he had said back in the living room?

"So… it's true then?" Zoro questioned.

Both Ace and Chopper smacked him on the arms one on each side. He grumbled in annoyance but kept his eyes to the cook.

Sanji nodded somberly. "I was six when my parents and self fled from the Northern seas during the start of the Slaver Plow." Sanji started.

The Slaver Plow being a world event everyone knew of as a new law that had been passed, over sixteen years back. With the call for slaves raising anyone not registered in the world government was illegally able to be made such. So with all the uncharted islands out there with people on them, they were literally like untapped gold mines just waiting to be found and farmed.

"My parents had dreams of coming to the new world were we could all live in peace but the seas were far rougher then either of them thought and the map they had bought turned out to be a fake." Sanji paused to flick the spent cigarette out to the water and lit another before he went on. "We were lost at sea for over four months… the first month our food had ran out. We would try to catch fish and would get some now and then but with out bait it was nearly impossible." Sanji took a deep breath and looked away to watch the waters.

Zoro, Ace, and Chopper said not a word just watched the cook waiting for him to go on.

The cook did go on after a few more moments but did not turn back to look at him as he went on now. "Our bodies started to wither away till finally one day my mother just did not wake up one morning. It was that evening I by chance came across my father cutting up her body….a butcher knife…" his voice trailed off and he had to take deep breaths before he went on. "Then came the …he cooked it… the smell and …oh god forgive me it smelled good …it had my stomach growling in want of ...." Sanji slipped off the side of the rail and Ace started to come to him but hearing the man's foot steps Sanji put a hand up to signal the others to keep back…Ace was forced to respect Sanji's wishes and stood where he was.

"I watched him… he ate what he cooked…then he came to me saying I had to eat too …that she would have wanted….women…women are precious creatures …never, never should they be treated like that especially not in death." Sanji whispered that last part out but everyone was so hushed it was easy to hear him.

The three could see Sanji's shoulders shaking as if he was crying but the sobs he made were silent.

Sanji let his half cigarette fall from his hand and into the water as he gripped the rail and forced himself to go on. "I yelled at him... I told him he was disgusting and weak…that he was not a man. He said I was a fool, just a child and didn't understand anything. He said it was his duty as my father to …and he… held me down…he made… and I was weak…and it just…oh god." Sanji hid his face in his hands then.

This time Ace went to him but there was no protest. The cook let him wrap his arms around him and Sanji even leaned into the embrace. Then the cook went down to his knees and Ace followed holding him as the other two just stood and watched.

Chopper running through lists of depressants and therapists he knew in his head that might help while Zoro watched Ace with Sanji. The swordsman stood there wondering where the cook's strength came from. Being through so much and even now putting him self through hell for another's dream and safety.

"It w-went on like that for three whole days till the storm happened." Sanji finally spoke up again. His head laying to Ace's shoulder, his arms wrapped tightly around the other man's waist. "The ship was destroyed….I somehow stayed alive and drifted on part of some wood from the ship till I was picked up alone by a ship." That was all Sanji could tell. He could not tell them about Zeff and run the risk of them finding out the great Red Leg Zeff was still alive and it was him whom he, Sanji was protecting. Sanji had learned so much and owed so much to the man. Zeff had even managed to help him get over his problem with food… till Sanji had to leave and become Doflamingo's slave. Then everything seemed to slowly go back to how it was. Maybe it had been due to him not having the will to cook anymore or maybe it was that he missed the old geezer and the shitty restaurant with all those other assholes. Whatever it had been the feel and taste of food would bring up those memories again every time he tried to eat just like how it had been when he was a kid, making him relive the cooked flesh of his mother being forced into his mouth and down his throat. Finally it got to the point were he was now, were he would not eat unless he really needed to or was forced.

After that Sanji had asked to lay down for a bit and Ace agreed taking the man back to his room and stayed with him till Sanji fell asleep. When Ace rejoined the others there was a huge debate going on if they should still take Sanji to Baratie tonight or not. The argument was it just seemed cruel to ask the man to go out to dinner after he had confessed something like that. Yet on the other hand the sooner he was out of Doflamingo's control the safer he would be and could get the help he needed.

"It would be worse for him if we treated him different. We take him." Luffy said and his word was final. They just now needed to pick the poor bastard who would ask Sanji to join them out for dinner.

"I vote Zoro since this is his fault anyways." grinned Nami.

And much to the swordsman's dismay others agreed.

"Yosh! Then it's settled. Zoro can wake Sanji up in an hour and ask him to dinner." Luffy smiled.

"Wait … no!" Zoro flailed.

"That's an order!" Luffy pointed a finger to Zoro.

With that said there was just no helping it now. In an hour Zoro would have to wake up that shitty cook and ask him out to dinner with him and the others.


A/N: So why I named this 'No' is cause its kinda like the reverse of the chapter 'Yes' with Zoro. *shrugs* Anyways yay Zoro finally realizes he has the hots for Sanji! And to show his affection!...breaks out into fight! But its okies we love our jealous little marimo right? Tee hee.

Also now that you have read this chapter you must surly have got my sick twisted joke at the start under the warning xD Sorry *bows deeply* I'm a very disturbed individual! xD

Ah well, you all now know why Sanji does not like to eat. From the last chapter I was able to put in Zeff losing his leg but I could not figure out, in this world, how or why he would need to eat it, and I could not just leave out something so impacting as cabalism! So I thought wow what a twist lets have it be Sanji... hey might as well have it be a female he was close to thus killing two birds with one stone on why he does not like to eat and why he holds women in such high regards and is unwilling to hurt them above all costs! *crosses fingers* Ok hopefully you all don't hate me now by how much I'm torturing our Sanji-kun here, plus! There is still more hurt for him to go through! I ish sorry v.v

Next Chapter! Zoro wakes the sleeping Prince and they ride away to try and break the evil curse! xD Ok maybe not like that but yeah you get what I mean =P

I look forward to your reviews! … I think ^.^; Don't kill me. v.v

Yush there is still secrets to Sanji even now! Hehe but yush that was the big ball dropper, in this chapter.

Good luck with your essay ^.^

Dandy-red – I'm not sure I can pull off a full SmokerxSanji due to the way the plot will be going but maybe hints ... we will see ^.~ Lol I have read one of the FrankyxSanji ones and I laughed so hard .. It's good for crack but I can see it seriously.

Looks like you got your answers in this chapter *smirks* Did I surprise ya?

Yay I'm so happy you liked the bit of Robin and Chopper ... but I don't know if I will resolve that plot or not. I might save it in case I decide to make a sequel to this story… guess I will have to see how things go xD.

As to Zoro's reactions about last night some were in this chapter but more will be in the next chapter in the car/(van) ride that will be coming up. ^.^
