Welcome to Chapter Four! God, I can't watch AMV's anymore, because the One Piece one I saw today, literally had me curled up in a ball, sobbing, it was so beautiful. Yeesh.

Okay, enough of my forever aloneness, let's get going!

"Whoa...what happened..." I placed a calming hand on Luffy's shoulder, easing him back down on my bed. "It's okay. You're at the Baratie. You got knocked into the water by Black Sully." I handed Luffy some herbal tea I had made. He nodded his thanks, and took a sip. "you're lucky Sanji-Kun saved you. You could have drowned."

"Not could have," Luffy said grimly. "Definitely would have. I can't swim at all." I was taken aback by this. I opened my mouth to ask why, when my bedroom door opened. Sanji-Kun came in, drying his hair with a towel. He had a larger one around his waist, going down to his knees.

God, Keneda. What are you doing? Stop looking at him like that! He's your brother! Stop being disgusting! I scolded myself harshly. I whipped my head towards Luffy. "You okay, man?" Sanji-Kun asked, coming over to sit next to me on the bed. I tried to control the blush coming to my cheeks. What was wrong with me lately?

"Yeah, I'm fine," Luffy said, swigging his tea. "Thanks for saving me." Sanji-Kun shook it off with a cool shrug, lighting up another cigarette. "So, what were you thinking, picking a fight with that guy, anyways?" i asked, offering Onii-Chan some tea. "Don't you know he's a dangerous pirate?"

"That's what they said about Don Krieg." Luffy said simply. I looked to Sanji-Kun and he looked at me. We exchanged confused shrugs, and I turned back to Luffy. "Don Krieg? You've met him?" I asked.

"I beat him." Luffy said like it was so simple to understand. I dropped my spoon for stirring, and Sanji-Kun's mouth gaped open, his cigarette falling to the carpet. "You beat THE Don Krieg?!" I exclaimed in disbelief. Luffy nodded like this was totally everyday life. I heard of Don Krieg, the fierce, bloodthirsty pirate. I hadn't heard any new stuff about him for a while, but I had just thought that he was planning his next move. But he was defeated? By this guy?!

Despite his overall shock, Sanji-Kun lit another cigarette, and handed me the spoon I had dropped. My door opened once more, and Zoro-San peeked his green head in. "Luffy? You okay?" Luffy nodded and leaped out of bed, stretching his arms. "Yeah! I feel great! Let's go!"

"Hey, maybe you should wait a bit..." I said cautiously, but Luffy just smiled. "When it comes to being King of the Pirate Era, there is no rest!"

"So, you wanna be King, huh?" Sanji-Kun asked, taking in a long drag on his cig. Luffy nodded proudly. "I'm going to sail to the Grand Line and find the One Piece!" I gasped. "That great treasure? Gol. D. Roger left his treasure in the Grand Line?" Zoro gave an impressed grunt. "I see you know a lot about that."

"Sanji-Kun and Zeff-Sensei taught me that. They told me so many cool stories about the sea!" I said, grinning brightly. "My favorite is the story about the All Blue!" Sanji-Kun smiled at the sound of that. "It's a legendary sea, where fish from the North, South, East, and West Blues all ,meet up!" I explained, with Sanji-Kun speaking up. "That place is heaven for cooks like Ken and I. Finding that stretch of island would be a dream come true!"

"Wow!" Luffy exclaimed, "That place sounds totally awesome!" Then his face scrunched up in concentration for a second. "Say...is that on the Grand Line?" Sanji-Kun shrugged his shoulders. "They say it's there, but being that no one has ever really seen it, so I can't say for sure." Luffy chuckled and a determined light filled his eyes. "You should come with us, then!" I blinked in confusion at what he had just said. Sanji-Kun frowned. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, come with me on my Pirate ship!" Luffy said, still smiling big. "We could use a cook like you! your food is awesome!"

"Well, I'm happy you think so, Luffy, but I don't think I can do that." Sanji-Kun said. "What? Why not?" Luffy asked, clearly disappointed. "Well, for one, I got this squirt to take care of," he ruffled my hair, making me blush. Ugh! Stupid me! "I can't leave her alone with these shitty cooks, now can I?" I looked up at Sanji-Kun and smiled. He was the best brother ever. Luffy pondered over this for a minute, then snapped, for an idea came to him.

"Both of you can come!" He said. I looked to Sanji-Kun, giving him a meaningful glance.

If anyone reading this has siblings, depending on the closeness, you feel like you can know what they're thinking without them saying anything. That was what Sanji-Kun and I had. It was like we could read each other's minds.

Sanji-Kun, I made sure my stare said. I think it's a great idea! We can find the All Blue, and get all the fish we could possibly want! Wouldn't that be great!

Sanji-Kun gave me a look that said, Well, of course it would, Ken, but...the Grand Line is pretty dangerous. I really don't think we should-

"Hey, Luffy," the red head girl from earlier had come in with the dark-skinned boy. "Ships ready to go." Sanji-Kun looked frozen in place, his eyes going wide and his mouth twitching a bit.

Oh, no...

here it comes.

Sanji-Kun was within seconds, at the girls feet, propped in a proposal stance, and his hand reaching out to her, a goofy smile on his face. "Oh, what beauty is this?! Have the heavens split and dropped angels? For I am seeing one before my eyes now!" The girl looked around the room. I rolled my eyes. Sanji-Kun was always like this with women. He was a real lady-killer. Or maybe the women killed him. I never knew. I grabbed his ear and dragged him away before he started drooling on her shoes. "Sorry about that," I apologized. "Onii-Chan always does that."

Sanji-Kun shook away from me, and cleared his throat, for his voice gets strangely higher pitched when around girls. For some reason.

"you know, Luffy, I think we might accept your offer. I mean, it's not like I'm getting anywhere here!" My mouth gaped open. "Whaaaaa?" I thought you didn't want to-" Sanji-Kun put his hand over my mouth and smiling as if I hadn't even spoken. "We'll talk it over with Zeff!"

Sanji-Kun was a real nutcase. A real nutcase.
