A/N : Heyy! Thanks so much for 2k reads! Also, I'm going to be adding some of my own original arcs into this story, so be prepared for that :) Annd I will try to write more fluff in the next chapters for ya ;) but first these two idiots have to realise they like each other. I'm thinking I'll chuck in a ZORO POV in the next few chapters as well so we can see what's going on in his head.

P.S If anyone has any suggestions for some interesting original arcs please feel free to let me know! I can't think of any good ones :(

"Black leg! You made it," one of the Marine soldiers called happily as they began to tend to their wounded.

"Where did Zoro go?" I asked, noticing there was multiple hallways he could have chosen.

The girl officer, Tashigi pointed to the right one and spoke, "they went this way." I gave her a sweet smile and made my way down it. My leg was aching but I knew it would have been much worse if my entire leg hadn't been numb. I also knew that the gate wasn't going to hold the gas for very long, and I hoped Luffy was kicking Ceaser's ass right now because we will have to get away from this island as soon as possible. I could hear shouts ahead, and as I turned the corner I saw the crew, everyone except Luffy. The sexy pirate from before was there too, and it seemed like everyone had been swapped back to their proper bodies.

"Sanji!" Usopp saw me and grinned. "You caught up...finally!"

I scoffed at his last comment, "I was fighting someone," I explained to him.

"Did you win?" he asked, suddenly very interested.

"No he ran away, and speaking of which we have got to get out of here - the gas will be here soon."

Chopper ran over to me, "Sanji what happened to your leg?" he asked very intensely. I looked down to see that my right leg had swollen and it was bruised all up my calf.

"It's nothing!" I insisted. "We have to get Luffy and get off this island!"

Chopper scowled at me, "this is not nothing, the bone has to be cracked in at least two places for it to swell this badly!" he called and began to examine me. "How are you even standing?"

"My leg is numb, now will you quit examining me? Now is not the time!" I yelled, feeling a little agitated that they weren't taking this seriously. The reindeer hesitantly backed away from me, and I heard our captain's familiar yell.

"I brought him!" Luffy raced over to us, a strange and beaten up man under his arm.

"Great, you're here!" Nami called. "Let's get out of here then," she continued and we all followed her out of the large gas-infused building as we tried to make our way back to where the Sunny had been docked.


"Oh Sanji, this is Law we are allied with him so that we can defeat Kaido!" Luffy spoke to me casually as he shoved a piece of meat in his mouth and pulled Law over.

"Hi Law," I said confidently. "Nice to meet you."

The tall pirate looked me over and his eyes paused on my leg. "That's a hell of a wound, would you allow me to treat it?" he asked with the tiniest of smiles.

"That would be great," I replied as I was starting to feel a dull throb in it. I led Law to the infirmary and as we walked in I noticed Zoro's eyes were following the both of us. I sat down on one of the chairs in the room and Law lifted my leg up to begin moving it around before he put some sort of liquid on the bare skin and wrapped my entire leg up in gauze. Next, he took one of Chopper's thermometers and placed it in my mouth after requesting that I open it.

"Seems like you got pretty bad frostbite & left it untreated. Once the numbing of your body goes down you will probably conduct a high fever and be in intense pain, I'm sure your doctor can provide some powerful pain killers for you," Law said and he released my leg from his grasp, allowing it to fall down and rest on the bed. That doesn't sound too fun.

"Sanji are you okay?" Luffy pushed the door open and the crew followed him in. "Can you still make us dinner?"

Nami hit Luffy's head lightly, "don't be so selfish!" she said. "She's injured, Robin and I can take care of dinner tonight." As she spoke my eyes met Zoro's, but we both quickly looked elsewhere.

"Sanji needs rest guys!" Chopper ordered and ushered everyone out. "We'll send someone to bring you some dinner and I'll come to check on you later, but try to get rest!" he said.

Hours went past and although I was supposed to rest, that wasn't happening. My mind kept wandering back to a certain swordsman and I couldn't put my finger on why. Sure he's hot, but there's no way that is why I can't get him out of my mind. He's annoying and stupid and pisses me off, so why do I feel so giddy every-time I think about him? And why did I get offended by such a little fight?

"Oi Shitty cook, Nami sent me to give you this," the door was pushed open and Zoro walked in holding a dish of food. I sat up in bed and frowned, I really didn't feel hungry.

"Don't want it," I murmured, not allowing myself to look him in the eyes. "Give it to Luffy or someone."

Zoro grunted in response and he sat down on the end of the bed, looking me over - clearly surprised at the amount of bandages that were wrapped around my body.

"I didn't know you were that injured," he said calmly. I could tell he was doing the same, not wanting to meet my eyes either. Why were we being so awkward? "What messed up your leg?"

The question surprised me, "fighting that guy."

"that's obvious, but how?" Zoro scoffed in response.

"This is odd, you actually care about my fights?" I asked, more surprised than mocking.

He shrugged, "I'm just curious."

I took a deep breath, I never liked to admit losing even though I didn't exactly lose. "The gas was distracting me and I didn't notice he coated his leg in Haki so when I went in for the kick he countered me and it smashed my bone or something," I replied as casually as possible - hoping Zoro wouldn't make fun of me.

"Pay attention next time," he said and at first I thought he was joking, but his face showed no signs of humour. Since when did he care if I was injured? "Anyways, I'm going back to eat," Zoro stated awkwardly, and before I could reply he had exited the room and left me to my confusing thoughts.


I must have finally been able to fall asleep because the next thing I can remember is opening my eyes to see a very bright light and Chopper messing around with my bandages. The little reindeer had not realised I'd awoken, as he continued about his business for a few more moments.

"What's the verdict, Chopper?" I asked, startling him slightly.

"Your leg will heal, but it's going to take a bit of time so try not to stand on it too much," he began. "You've got quite a fever, but I'm going to give you some medicine which will bring that down. You can probably go out on deck if you feel up to it."

That wasn't too bad, "can I go make some breakfast?" I asked, feeling a bit peckish myself which means that Luffy and the others would be starving.

Chopper seemed a bit hesitant, but he nodded. "That should be fine but here, take these first. And try to sit down whenever possible, standing won't do you much good," our furry doctor popped open the lid of a bottle and two pills tumbled out onto his hoof. I took them off him and swallowed them whole, keen to get back out on deck. I was never one to stay still after all.

"Sanji!" Luffy was excited to see me, probably only because he missed my cooking last night. "Are you gonna make us breakfast?" He asked, and I couldn't help but smile.

"Yep!" I replied. "I'll get started now, why don't you go wake everyone else up?" I asked after noticing that only Chopper, Luffy, Law and Robin were awake. Luffy nodded and bounded his way over to the men's cabin. I walked into the kitchen and pondered on what I should cook. Sandwiches are always a good option, although I wanted to make those for lunch so I settled on Sushi.

About an hour later I was done, and I called Luffy in - who had his face plastered to the window the entire time I was cooking. After letting out a yell (most likely signalling to everyone that the food was ready,) he raced in and took his seat at the head of the table. I placed a large dish of Sushi in the middle of the table, and two smaller dishes on either side along with some dipping sauces. As everyone walked in I took my seat to the left of Luffy, and everyone took theirs - with Zoro sitting directly opposite me.

"These are so good Sanji!" Luffy called in-between bites, much to Nami's disgust. "Oh yeah Nami, are we almost at another island?" he asked, and it took me awhile to properly understand his question.

Nami sighed and put down the piece of sushi she was about to bite into. "We should arrive by this evening," she stated calmly after taking a quick glance at the log pose that rested on her wrist.

Luffy seemed to like this answer, "I can't wait to go and explore~" he hummed.

Breakfast ended quickly, as everyone is forced to eat quickly otherwise Luffy steals their food.

"What are you doing now?" Robin asked me in her calm, soothing voice.

"I'll clean up and then..." I paused, not knowing.

A kind smile formed on Robin's lips, "Nami and I were going to sunbathe, it's such a nice day after all, why don't you join us?" she asked. I took a look out the window and saw the sun was shining strongly onto the deck.

"That sounds nice," I replied. After being at such a cold island, sunbathing really would be nice. Plus I've gone quite pale and wouldn't mind getting a little sun-kissed tan.

After changing into a skimpy bikini, I followed Robin and Nami out on deck and lay myself across one of the beach towels they had set up. To our right, I noticed Zoro was yelling at Luffy and Usopp about something - they probably tried to play with his swords or woke him up from his nap. He turned his head and met my gaze, his eyes unwillingly travelled down my body and he turned back to Luffy quickly. Did Marimo just check me out? And why did I like that idea so much?

"Here," Nami handed me a bottle of something. "It's oil, get someone to rub it on your back so that you tan easier!" she commented as Robin massaged her own back.

An evil idea formed in my mind, "Zoro-kun!" I called out, getting the swordsman's attention. I motioned for him to come over which he did, grudgingly.

"Do you want something?" he asked, trying to sound gruff.

Time to test something. I looked up at him and fluttered my eyelashes slightly, "could you help me with something?" I asked.

Zoro cocked an eyebrow up, "what is it?"

I reached my hand out to hand him the bottle, "could you rub some of that oil onto my back?" I asked innocently and with a sweet smile.

Zoro looked like he was about to refuse, but something stopped him from doing so. "Fine, turn around," he ordered. Zoro was about to begin putting the oil on my pale back, but I stopped him.

"Just a minute," I said. My hand moved up to tug on the loose string of my bikini and I allowed it to fall off so that he would have full access to my back. Zoro didn't speak, but I had a feeling if I could see his face it would have been a lovely shade of tomato. His hands were rough, yet he was very gentle as he roamed his hands across my back, rubbing in the warm oil.

"There," he stated after a few minutes. "That good enough?"

I turned my head around and smiled softly, "yep! thank-you!" Zoro didn't reply to this instead he gruffly walked away and climbed up into the crows nest.


I have to admit, spending the majority of the day sunbathing was a great idea. By the time we had decided to get up and put our clothes back on, the sun was going down and Luffy was freaking out about the island we were getting extremely close to.

"Franky get ready to anchor" Nami yelled to our shipwright. Franky moved into position. "Now!" Nami called out, and the blue-haired pervert threw down the Sunny's anchor. Then, Nami turned to us. "No one is going to explore the island tonight," she said and glared at Luffy. "We will all go out tomorrow - but no one is to leave the ship or they will get no food for a week, understood?"

Everyone nodded, it was incredible how Nami could control everyone in such a way. Even so, I was still quite excited for the new island - what type of adventure would it bring?
