A/N : Surprise! I know I said I had exams, but you guys gave me some great ideas for new arcs and characters & motivated me to write! Thanks so much for all the reviews and ideas, hope you enjoy this chapter. And there will be LawLu in the future! At the end of this chapter I will post quick summaries for fanfictions I will be starting late this year or early next year.

I'm not sure yet how long I'm going to make this fic, or if it will eventually have Dressrosa and all those arcs.

P.S this is a bit of a filler-y chapter as they haven't arrived at the next island yet.

I opened my eyes slowly, trying to adjust to the darkness of the room. No one was in the infirmary, and so I pushed my way off the bed and out onto the deck, noticing the sun was almost peaking out from the edge of the never-ending ocean. Feeling hunger pains, I found my way into the kitchen and ignored the pain in my body. As I pushed the door open and walked into the familiar room, a certain mosshead caught my attention.

"Sanji," he commented, my presence barely startling him. "You're awake."

I nodded and walked close to him, reaching behind and into a small pot to retrieve one of the hidden stashes I kept on the Sunny. My hand shakily lit the cigarette and I placed it between my dry lips, satisfying the craving.

"Should you be smoking right now?" Zoro asked, his voice calm. "That knife punctured your lung."

I ignored him for a few minutes, and then pressed the lit end into a nearby ash-tray. "I just needed a quick one," I said. "It helps with the pain."

Zoro tilted his head so that he was directly facing me and his finger began tracing my chin, "does this also help?" he asked and didn't waste any time before locking lips with me. My eyes closed and my arms wrapped around him while I felt his hands on my waist, pulling me closer. His kiss was desperate yet soft and it was his way of saying he was glad I was okay.

As rays of light shone in the open window, I pulled away from the kiss and smiled up at him. "Have you slept?" I asked him.

"I was on watch tonight."

I motioned towards the door, "go get some sleep I can take over - everyone will be waking up soon anyways."

Zoro seemed reluctant at first, but when I raised my eyebrow at him and he realized I would put up a fight if he said no, he complied. I watched the swordsman leave and figured I might as well prepare breakfast while the painkillers were still in effect. Reaching up to grab some plates, I figured pancakes sounded good.


As I placed the finishing touches of whipped cream on each plate I set them all around the table and headed out to wake the sleepy-heads up. I went into the girl's room first and used a calm voice to wake the ladies up, after all they were scary when mad. But the guy's room was a different story. I flipped the lights on and off again about twenty times while yelling at them to wake up before the cream melts.

"Sanji you're awake!" Luffy yelled back, being the first to dress and greet me. "What did you make for breakfast?"

"Pancakes!" I winked, knowing it was one of his favorite meals not including meat. After Luffy raced out the door, everyone else grudgingly stood up and made their way out of the room, knowing how fast Luffy would gobble up all of their meals. As Zoro rubbed his eyes roughly and made for the door, I stopped him with a kiss.

"Good morning," I whispered with a smile.

He smirked back and I was going to kiss him again, but he gently nudged me away. "I am hungry, I haven't had a decent feed in a few days after all."

"What do you mean?' I asked, following him out of the cabin. "Nami and Robin can cook…somewhat."

Zoro shook his head as we paused before reaching the kitchen. "After eating your food anything else tastes like garbage." My cheeks became rosy as he walked in and took his seat. I followed and sat at my normal seat opposite him, watching the crew devour their food with gleeful smiles. As I looked at everyone, subconsciously counting in my head, one was missing.

"Where's Law?" I asked, wondering where the surgeon had gone.

Nami swallowed her mouthful, "he's gone to meet up with his crew and will meet us at the next island with them."

I nodded, "when will we reach the next island?"

Nami took a glance at the log pose on her wrist before answering, "we should reach it by tomorrow morning if we stay on course."

I took a bite out of my own pancakes, not really feeling hungry but not wanting them to go to waste in the bottomless pit that sat beside me.

"Sanji how are you feeling?" Chopper asked suddenly after he finished his last pancake. "Your wounds were quite severe, it might be a little early for you to be out and about."

"The painkillers are dying a bit, give me a couple more and I'm good to go," I commented simply. Chopper never liked abusing pain medicine, but he also knew by now that arguing with me on that subject was pointless. I hated staying in bed healing wounds, I'd much rather not feel any pain and return to my normal duties - even if it meant my wounds healed a little slower.

Everyone was soon done eating, and I cleared the table and finished up the dishes before heading out on deck to observe what the crew were up to. Luffy, Usopp and Chopper were sitting in a circle, probably listening intently to a story the sniper was telling them. Nami, Robin and Franky were all on top of the balcony next to the orange trees, lounging on beach chairs and soaking up the sun. Brook was floating across the ship with his violin tucked under his chin as he played 'Binks Sake' and from the weight lifting I could hear above me, it was obvious where Zoro was.

This was exactly what being a pirate should be like.

It was almost like we weren't in the New World and didn't have one of the four emperors chasing our tail. I leaned against the railing and stared into the sea, wondering what adventures the next island was going to hold.


I made my way up into the crow's nest, looking for my favorite swordsman. I placed the plate of lunch down beside him and he turned around to face me.

"I brought you some lunch," I said, turning around to head back to the kitchen - hungry for my own.

His arm snaked around my waist and he pulled me into him, "I'd much rather have you for lunch," he whispered in my ear before tracing his mouth down to my neck and sucking on the skin, leaving future marks as he turned me around and moved up to crash his lips onto mine. I returned the kiss by opening my mouth slightly, allowing him more access. His arms traced over my shirt for a brief moment, before they moved under it.

"Zoro…" I pulled back to catch my breath. "Someone could come up here-"

"Then we'll have to be quick," he mumbled in my ear before tugging my shirt off in a quick motion and attacking my neck once more as he began fumbling with my shorts. My mind shut down under his touches, and I helped him out of his own shirt, kissing down his chest. In a swift action, he pushed me down onto the wooden floor and discarded his pants before climbing on top of me, his fingers delicately toying with my panties.
