While Nami was preparing herself and looking forward to paying her debt, it was nothing compared to the excitement that Sanji felt. As the men, minus Zoro whom they lost on their way, entered the great mansion, Sanji's eyes immediately fell upon a group of women chatting near the bar. Just as he was about to make his entrance he spotted the spiky green hair.

That bloody marimo was standing at the bar in the center of all the beautiful ladies. Unlike many other men though, Zoro seemed anything but pleased with the attention. How in the world he had gotten there before the rest of them was something Sanji could not fathom.

Zoro was leaning against the bar with a drink in one hand and the other supporting his weight at the desk top. The women flocked around Zoro trying to get his attention and one even suggested a dance. The swordsman's only answer was "Urusee!" leaving the poor girl humiliated with laughter from the others.

That was more than Sanji would tolerate and he jumped into the cycle of people banging his head against Zoro's. "Oi, marimo!" he yelled. "What do you think you're doing?! Treating a nice gorgeous young lady like that?"

She was nervous, more than she had expected. She tried to take a deep breath to calm her nerves, but she clearly felt that it wasn't as deep as she wanted. She was too tense. She wanted a drink. No, she needed a drink. Having finally entered the big room with the bar she managed to avoid all the approaching men and get a seat at the bar.

It had taken longer than estimated to get ready by herself. She had gotten so used to the other girls being around that just putting her hair up took almost an hour more than she had expected. Now all set she just needed to calm her nerves and then find him. She still had a few hours before the unmasking that was her deadline. She had to be back with the others by that time. She sat in one corner and looked down the bar. She let out a moan of annoyance and she spotted two of her crew mates, Hanna and Zoro, speaking at the other end of the bar. She really wanted to avoid any of her other nakama. She was confident that the disguise itself was perfect, but she wasn't sure if she herself could fool them. For that she wasn't prepared.

She swallowed her drink and left the bar before being noticed. She knew that a few of them would be easier to fool than others. Chopper was the most gullible along with Luffy, but Robin would definitely recognize her immediately should they bump into each other. She just knew it. The rest of them… Well, as long as she was only spotted from far away she should be fine. The alcohol made her a little bolder and she lifted her head to look around. Now, where was he?

Sanji had given up arguing with the blockhead of a swordsman, but he was still annoyed that the women around Zoro had become upset at him for bursting in, and not Zoro for his behaviour. He was obviously not interested, but it didn't seem to matter to them. It wasn't until Brook and Hanna came over that the girls eased a little at Zoro. To the cook's surprise though, some of them sneered at Hanna as they gave the Strawhats some space. Hanna took it rather well, especially compared to how Nami would have reacted to such behaviour. Well, when you don't count the part about showing Brook the sneering girls' underwear by pulling up their dresses. Hanna was not a kind girl to her enemies, and it didn't matter if they had chosen her or she had chosen them as a target. Brook had then followed the girls' as they screamed and ran away, asking to see more panties. Sanji was just happy that the music was too loud in that room to really hear the screaming girls. There was no sympathy for them though. They had sneered at his nakama. Sanji then decided to leave the bar area to go find a proper lady to dance with. But before he reached the room with the dance floor he heard a squeal right next to him.

"EEH!" He turned to see a gorgeous, in his opinion, young lady, in a long rose colored dress, holding her hands folded next to her face as another squeal came from another lady next to her.

"It's him! It really is. I recognize his blond hair." Before Sanji knew it several other girls had surrounded him some pulling in his sleeves to get his attention. The poor guy almost lost conscience by this dream position, but managed to clear his mind. He needed to be a strong man for them. A lady needed a man to be strong for her. He would be that man. For as many ladies who would need him to…

"Melloriiiiiiiine!" his concentration broke and he now felt himself storm around kissing every lady near him on her hand. Gentleman to the end though.

It took him some time to get back to a normal state. But when he did he could finally truly see the woman around him. There were all shapes and sizes and every color dress he could imagine. They looked at him in awe; some whispered and showed the hand he had kissed to each other. This was a new situation for the man, as his affection was most often rejected no matter how he approached the lady. Okay, he mostly used the same approach, but the end of it was always the same rejection.

He felt a tap on his shoulder and as he turned he met a couple of brown eyes behind a black laced mask. It covered most of the woman's face all the way from the bottom of her nose and up to the hairline. Her hair was golden, and put up in little curls, entangled in one another; it almost looked like a treasure chest. For a pirate, that's a very good praise. But the dress was what really caught his attention. Long. Black. Tight. Showing exactly what he liked to be shown. It had long laced sleeves, covering her arms but to counter the hidden skin the dress had a long slit, ending on her upper thigh and a very low neck line. Her breasts were held by the soft fabric, but she innocently moved they too moved just enough for Sanji's nose to itch.
