Zoro kept walking in the town streets; he wasn't sure where he was anymore. the streets become empty, the few people that pass him gone to their business or buy something at the shops. Zoro was the only one that didn't enter any shop or have other business to do. he wanted to find a nice bar and drink. Drink a lot!

But before he could find it, suddenly he stops on his tracks. Growling to himself he glares at the three swords in his green haramaki.

"What the hell, bad kid?!"

Kitetsu tremble in delight and want to cut something in the air, what really annoy Zoro to no end. he kept glaring at his naughty kid of them all, wondering what the hell come over him all of a sudden.

It wasn't enough he didn't found the shit cook, now his swords decide to act weird and annoy him. can this day become any worse?! clicking his tongue Zoro drew Kitetsu that kept trembling even more and move him to different directions. the sword indicate where he wanted to cut and Zoro cut the air, just like the bad kid wanted. usually Zoro never listen to his swords whims, but today he didn't care anymore if it makes him shut up and it did make him shut up, then it's fine. he roll with it and whatever happen just happen.

"tch, I can't believe this!" Zoro growl to himself and cut the air again with no reason.

he felt stupid, but at least Kitetsu was quit now. Zoro sigh deeply and put him back.

"there now shut it…."

before he could say anything else, Zoro eyes open wide. He wasn't prepare for this shit that open right in front of his eyes but it happen – right in the middle of the street open up a wormhole to another world, he wasn't sure how his sword did it but it just did.

he checked the people around him, no one seem to care he open a hole in the air or they just didn't see it. What was very odd to Zoro but he shrugs it off and enter the wormhole. looking around at the new world that open to him, Zoro spot a big castle with a fence around it and come closer to it.

he grimace at the ugly castle but continue moving forward. it seem someone already open the door with force, that's great – more weirdoes to see later on, just what Zoro needed. Well, at least this time he didn't get lost, it's the sword fault for open this world for him. nope, this wasn't his fault!

One thing Sanji was sure off first - he was dead or badly injured. but to his surprise he was fine, although his ears still rang. his arms still block his face, and he tried to take deep breaths, but it was a little difficult for some reason, he wanted to calm down and understand what's going on so he open his eyes slowly and lower his arms from his face. All he did slowly and hesitates, he sighs deeply and swallowed hard.

When he finally could see his surroundings, the stupid things with no face he fight before was gone. Well, other than huge puddles of blood everywhere, he couldn't see them in that room.

The only thing that left now was the big porridge that he still wanted to kick his ass and cook. Well, maybe to cook it wasn't his brightest idea's, but Luffy will eat everything so…this seems like the best way to get rid of it.

Whatever this thing was, he only hope that If he do mange to cook it, Luffy won't become some freak with tentacles – that would be weird and hilarious at the same time and Nami-san would kill him for sure.

Now that he look around more, he sew Ariane standing next to him looking right ahead to no particular spot with her empty look. she look odd to Sanji, but he shake it off and immediately contact the dotes. No way…

"Ariane-san could you…did you the one that…protected me by any chance?" he ask politely, a little hesitate in his tone.

There was no way he could survive this explosions, yeas he was an amazing kick ass fighter, but he wasn't Luffy. he should have at least get injured badly, but he wasn't. So it have to be her, there is no one else here.

She only nodded slightly, and he almost full down and look at her with wide eyes. well, she was something… Sanji try to push it back from his head, what or who is she wasn't his business and he promise to save her so that what he need to do. but something inside him nag him about her, it's there was something about it all deal. Sanji walk closer to her and do the next best thing, swoon around her.

"Ohh Ari my lovely saver, you so amazing and beautiful! I will do anything for you!"

But she ignore him, and after a while Sanji stop himself and stare at her for a moment then at what she was looking at, feeling something off.

"What's wrong Ari-chan?"

Ari look away from him, she stare at the big porridge in the room and then at him with weird look again. Now that he look at it again, he found a new tentacles to the creature, he seem to develop himself to be bigger with six tentacles more, great! like he wasn't ugly enough. The new tentacles look like big and sharp needle sting of the bee, only bigger. Sanji got chills just by looking at it, if the stupid Moss for brain was here, he could have cut them and Sanji could kill it easily, shit, he thinking about the moron again.

Sanji shake his head, the green idiot wasn't here, so he have to finish it by himself. There is no reason for him to be there too, that idiot swordsman can go fuck off somewhere. Sanji didn't need him around anyway, he only drives him insane and annoying him to no end not to mention how distracting this moron is. Like he needed to drink so much just to not think about what he should say and how to act when he was with him at the ship, and then he only regrets all of it anyway. He only be in his way, and Sanji didn't need that now.

Just then the girl spoke, still without making any eye contact with him. if he didn't know batter it could have look like she talking to herself.

"If those things touch you, you will die" Ari said with empty voice, what got Sanji attention but he didn't understand what she meant.

"Sorry Ari-chan, things?"

"things.."

she point her finger at one spot to clarify the word and Sanji move his eyes to the spot she was pointing noticing her meaning was to the needle tentacles that gross him out.

"ohh I see. thanks for the warning Ari-chan, as much as I'm happy you worried about me, I'm going to kick it ass! there is no need to worry. " he bowed his head to her and start to run towards the tentacles creature. great, now what he's going to do!?

If Ari-chan words were right, then he has to find a way to kill it without it touching him. well, it won't be easy but it wasn't impossible. he wasn't just a strong kick ass fighter, he was Sanji god damn it – the best chef and fighter from the straw hat crew. So he won't have a lot of problems at least that what he was hoping.

more of the weird statues he blow up show up around the creature again, great again?! don't they ever get tired?!. Sanji didn't stop his run toward them and use them to jump up and run on the tentacles fucker so fast that neither of them could do anything to stop him. Sanji know he taking a risk here, but with no risks there is no gain he know it the best.

Continued his run on the creature big body it felt like running on jelly, sticky, weird and just disgusting. Maybe he should make him more a desert then the main dish. but first to kick his sorry ass until it's stop moving. but before he could kick him the tentacles come his way from every possible direction trying to capture him but Sanji quickly run away and avoid them all and jump back to the floor. shit!

he needed to do something about this damn tentacles, before he could even come close enough to kick it's ass. and if he can't cut them - idiot swordsman isn't here, then he have to think of something else. Those things are in his way, so he waits for them to come at him and start to run faster in circle making them chase him and run in circles around the creature.

the result was satisfied to Sanji benefit what was good cause he wanted to cook this thing already for their captain and come back to the sunny! the tentacles got tied around each other. that was his chance and he took it with full speed running buck and jump on the creature body again. Prepare himself for the final and most strongest kick to blow him up that won't survive this for jump in the air and come to hit it, but was stop in mid air in the last moment it was so damn close!.

his body was held up by the fucking tentacles, damn it he should have kick them first! Sanji tried to get free from them, but before he mange to do it he felt a sharp pain in one of his lags. a scream come out from his mouth, it's not just hurt like a bitch it burn all his body. What this shithead did?! he look at his body, one of the needle tentacle that stab him in one of his lags come out from his lag and move away. and then he notice it, Sanji heart almost come out from his throat, he know what it was, he seen this sort of thing before. but he didn't want to believe they were humans too, humans just like him. shit shit! Ari warned him about this but he didn't it turn out to be this. the lag that was stab by the needle tentacle start to spread a weird liquid that look like a mirror, it was just like that thick layer those creatures he fight with had and the worse it was burning feeling in his body got worse, the room start to spin around and his lungs struggle to breath.

he tried to move his body, to shake off the burning feeling and the pain his body was feeling but it didn't work. Sanji glare at the tentacles creature with silence, even if he's going to die, he will kill it even if it's the last thing he ever do. but his body was numb and his lags felt heavy, like he couldn't feel them anymore. Sanji started to panic how could he not feel his lags?! it's like he didn't have feet or the whole lower part of his body from his waist, everything from there felt numb and…dead. he could still move his chest and hands, his head, his eyes. but his head and thoughts started to fade away…he tried to hold them on. Tried to come up with something he can still do there have to be something he can do but soon enough the heavy and numb feeling win in him.

it was like the feeling of really wanting to sleep very badly coming out to all his body but he didn't let himself close his eyes. No! he won't let him! if he fell asleep now then…it was all over. not just for him, but for Ari-chan too. his head started to fell, but he straight his head up again glaring directly at the thing that held his body again.

Now his body felt cold, too much cold. he was freezing, and he wanted something warm, like he got the flu. shit, what the hell was going on with his body?! what in this shitty needle?! he hope Chopper have some cure for this shit, cause it felt horrible!

he could hear the creature laugh, it was loud and annoying but it felt far away, so far away. he could hear it saying something to him, but he wasn't sure what it was nor does he cared. Sanji only curse him out load and felt his body flying away and crush on the floor. it hurt, but he still couldn't feel anything after his waist. it was frustrating and he struggle to keep his breathing at by. the freezing and cold feeling got stronger and the burning feeling come with it too. he wasn't sure what is happening to his body but he know he was stuck. his vision become clouded, and the blue pupil of the ocean disappeared from his eyes. Leaving up only two empty white hole's and with it his mind shut down.

the girl with the empty eyes come to the motionless blond man, and lean down on her knees to look at his face that lay on his back on the floor. she stare at him without a word and then bend over to kneel on her knees in sitting position. after a moment or two she sigh softly.

"I told you not to touch it and that you not strong enough." that was the only thing she said while she kept staring at him.

he was falling in complete darkness, he wasn't sure where he is but he didn't felt his body. it was light and odd kind of feeling like he didn't have any weight that hold him or any gravity.

then he stop falling, is this some kind of weird ass dream that you have when you sleeping or something? Sanji didn't know but he was sure it's not since he didn't have time for this shit! but before he could think of something more he was falling again crushing on something right into light open space.

when he look around again it was like the sea, everywhere was water and colors of the ocean and fish's. but there was something odd in this sea since he could breath in it with no problem and it was too open.

Sanji look around and could not find the surface of this sea and only sew the bottom of it. it was full of weird sea plants he never seen before, but then again he wasn't gone to the bottom of the sea before for that long. he was sure somehow that all of this was an illusion, he wasn't sure how he know this but he just know somehow. must be that asshole porridge playing tricks on him.

Well if he thinks he can trick him with these cheap illusions, he can go ahead and try. Sanji will find a way out of here and kick his sorry ass he just needs to find it. Easy enough to do and he took off with a flight.

he wasn't sure how he can fly in the deep water like this, it wasn't making any sense to him but oh well.

it felt kind of nice after awhile, he enjoy the nice temperature it wasn't hot or cold it was just perfect. he notice the weird shape of fish's swimming everywhere around him, some together with their pack and some alone. some of them he could recognize and some he didn't have any clue what kind of fish they are or where they come from.

he tried to reach the end of that sea or to some kind of land, but no matter how much he kept on going forward that sea or ocean never end. how can this be?! to any sea had an ending or least some kind of land in the way but he didn't find any land. then again, he wasn't sure how much time he was flying in this deep sea. but it seem to be endless so Sanji gave up and stop himself in place between the bottom and the above. his head move to watch what it is above him, maybe this work and he jump up to come out of the water but his hand and head was stop from doing so when he reach the surface. it felt like hard ceiling made of stone, why the hell this sea have a ceiling for fuck sake?! what kind of weird ass illusion that asshole trap him in?! A lame one that for sure but since he can't seem to gut out of it may as well enjoy it.

he kept on swimming, can he really call it swimming? at the that weird sea with the weird fish's, touching their tale and stroke them from time to time. and they brushed his body and face in their way. if he wasn't in the middle of a fight here with a girl to save, he was sure he was gladly stay here for a while more. it felt so nice and free, but he know batter and he needed to get out of this weird illusion and fast.

something that really made him wonder is why there is no one else there, not even cute girls or his crew mate. if the stupid creature wanted to make him stay here then he failed miserably. Sanji love the ocean and the sea, but he won't stay there if no one was there to share it with him. that just how Sanji was, he liked people around him. Especially his Nakama that were the most important to him nice try asshole!

he fly on his back like he was floating on air instead of water to look at the surface that was close to him but shine with colors. the fish's around tickle his skin and it felt so good to be there. he felt at peace but the same time he start to worry how he's going to get out or is he really all alone there?

still it felt good to finally lay down and float like that, watching all the fish's moving around and all the colors and sounds. it really felt good to be there.
