(Pre/Post) Time Skip: Pre Time Skip

Luffy shot up from his sleep at the sweet scent of meat. He sniffed the air, while his tongue was sticking out, and jumped out of bed. His nose landed on the ground where he started to sniff the floor like a dog.

"Meat, meat, meat," muttered Luffy. It was the only thing he could think about. He continued to sniff the ground until his head bumped the door. He growled and swung the door open. Oddly enough, no one was disturbed from their slumber by Luffy's loud growl.

What Luffy didn't know was that one of his crew members in the mens' quarters is missing. Meanwhile, a blonde haired cook was secretly leaving a trail for his captain to follow, leading a way to a certain area.

On the way down the stairs, Luffy didn't miss one step. When he reached the deck, he sneezed after the grassed tickled his nose. He crawled on his hands until he finally found the source of the scent. He gleefully ran to the middle of the deck where sat a plate full of meat. He dived in and reached for the plate.

Out of no where, a small cage fell from the sky and landed on top of Luffy, trapping him in his spot.

"N-Nani? What's going on?" Luffy asked. He tensed up when he heard a sinister laugh coming from his right. He turned around and saw a blonde haired man sitting on the seat on the mast with his legs crossed. "Huh? Sanji?"

"You made a huge mistake, Luffy."

"Hm? What did I do?" Luffy asked while chewing on his meat.

"Don't act like you don't know." Sanji got up from his seat and walked towards the cage. Luffy's eye twitched when he saw the darkness in Sanji's eyes. "Did you not remember what you did to my kitchen the night before? Should I make you remember?"

Luffy gulped when Sanji opened the door to the cage.

"I hope you enjoyed the piece of meat, Luffy. I made it especially for you."

While still in her pajamas, Nami stepped out of her room, in hopes of getting some orange juice to start off her day. She reached the top of the stairs and saw the cage in the middle of the deck. She gasped and ran down the stairs. She grabbed the bars and looked inside.

"Huh?! Luffy?"

"Oh, good morning, Nami."

Nami started panicking. "What happened? Were we attacked?"

"No no no. Don't worry about it."

A scream was heard from the mens' quarters. Nami turned around and saw Usopp and Chopper at the door staring at them. They ran over to them in horror.

"Luffy! What happened?!"

"Are you okay?"

Suddenly, the door to the galley opened, out walking Sanji with a tray of orange juice. Nami noticed Luffy tense up a little. Sanji politely handed Nami her orange juice. It was odd to her how Sanji was acting so calmly about this.

"Sanji-kun, do you know what happened to Luffy?"

"Nope. I don't know anything."

Nami tilted her head then turned to Luffy.

"Luffy, what happened to you?"

Luffy was about to respond when he saw the dark aura coming from Sanji who was standing right behind Nami.

"N-Nothing."

For those of you who live in a city where its now getting cold... I envy you. I live in Vegas... nothing but desert and sand and heat. -.-
