A/N : So I'm so excited to create a bit of conflict between Zoro and Sanji, so expect a little bit of angst during this next arc. This arc was suggested by Kakashi's Library so thanks so much I loved this idea 3 If you haven't already, please go to the previous chapter and let me know what you think of the fanfics that I am intending on writing.

P.s two chapters in three days - you guys better love me 3

I leaned against the railing as the sun began to rise. I could see the island approaching in the distance, and was somewhat excited to see what adventures this one would hold. No one else was awake yet, and it was usually this way - I would always get up one or two hours earlier than everyone else to start preparing breakfast, and in doing so I'd relieve whoever was on watch and send them to bed. As we got closer to the island I noticed it wasn't very big, and I couldn't see any tall buildings so it mustn't be very populated. After putting out the cigarette I had been smoking, I made my way back into the kitchen to check on the breakfast I was preparing.

"What's for breakfast, Sanji?" Nami asked as she made her way into the kitchen, rubbing her took a seat and watched me set the table.

"I made some Sushi!" I replied, placing a glass of orange juice in front of her. She smiled and thanked me before she took a sip.

"Do we have any information on the next island?" I asked, curious about what we were going to get ourselves into this time.

Nami shook her head, "no but if we can get the name of it I can ask Robin to do some research before we start exploring it," she suggested calmly. Did she forget who our captain was? No way Luffy will wait patiently for information.

While Nami and I talked, I served her some Sushi along with some Wasabi dip. After she ate her fill, she commented that on the last island she had bought me a gift, and so I followed her into the girl's cabin - which I am now staying in.

"Here!" she proclaimed and handed me a pink ruffle bag. She was smiling suspiciously as I un-did the bow. "Well actually Robin helped pick it out, so she needs some credit too," Nami continued and winked at the newly awoken Robin. I succeeded in opening the bag and reached inside to pull out the contents. My hand wrapped around something soft and I looked down to see a very lacy, black bra with red stripes along the under-wire. My face immediately went a dark shade of red and I backed away.

"Don't you think Zoro would love to see you in that?" Nami asked with a devious smirk. Robin seemed to be enjoying this as well as she wore a small grin. "And that's not all - check the bag again." I sighed and stuffed my free hand in the bag, pulling out another artifact. It was a thong, the same colors and pattern as the bra was.

Nami clasped her hands together, "how cute is it? They're a set!"

I was about to respond when Luffy's voice rang out from behind me, signaling that the guys had woken up. I stuffed the promiscuous clothing back into the bag and tucked it into my coat.


Everyone had finished eating and we had taken to the deck to speak about the next island and our plans. Nami made sure everyone was sitting, and she was keeping a strong eye on Luffy to make sure he didn't wander off onto the island since we had just dropped anchor.

"Usopp have you gotten anything?" Nami called to our left, where Usopp had his binoculars out and was searching the island for any kind of information. He placed them back into his satchel and turned to walk towards our group.

"The island is called Lover's Island or something like that," he said. "At least that's what I saw."

Robin raised her eyebrows as if she was surprised about something.

"Have you heard of it?" Nami asked, noticing Robin's reaction.

Robin nodded, although she still seemed a little surprised. "I've heard of it, but only ever in books and old stories. It's an old legend that the Lover's Island was a paradise for all men, giving them whatever their hearts desired including women and meat," she spoke.

"Meat?" Luffy repeated, his eyes already turning into stars.

"Yes, however, the legends also say that the island is run by a Siren and that men who enter the island have never returned," Robin replied.

At this, Usopp and Chopper hugged each other, fear in their eyes as they stared at Luffy, begging him to have some common sense.

"Wel, then we all agree," Luffy spoke in a commanding tone. "We have to go explore the island!"

I threw my hands up, "no one agreed on anything!" I yelled, trying to understand how his brain worked.

"Luffy we can't go in there…" Usopp whispered, "you heard what Robin said - men never leave!"

Luffy stood up and crossed his hands over his chest, "nope I've decided!" he spoke again, with the same commanding tone as before.

Nami was about to contradict his statement, when Zoro stood up and shrugged, "it might be fun to test my ability to overcome these 'desires'" he said in a mocking tone.

Usopp and Chopper continued to hold each other in agony, "not you too, Zoro!" Chopper moaned, annoyed that the swordsman had agreed to this adventure.

I stood up and glared at Zoro, something about him wanting to go into an island called 'lovers island' kind of annoyed me. "I don't see the need for us to go into this island," I commented, taking the side of the more sensible members of our crew.

Luffy didn't budge from his position, and Nami sighed. "Captain's orders are final," she groaned. "But Luffy so help me god if you get us in some kind of trouble I will murder you!" Luffy just grinned when he heard Nami give in, and both him and Zoro hopped off the ship before we could say otherwise. Nami quickly spoke, "we need a couple of people to go with them to make sure they don't pull any reckless stunts!" she called out, pointing to Franky and I. "You two go with them! We'll try and find out more information about the island - bring them back to the ship at sunset."

I groaned, not wanting to go into this stupid Lover's Island, especially with three males accompanying me. I couldn't put my finger on why Zoro was so eager to come onto this island, he probably thinks there will be endless booze or something. Trying to keep calm and not overthink, I followed the men as they walked, noticing that the beach was ending and the ground had changed to concrete. We must have been getting close to civilization. Soon enough, a couple buildings had come into vision and there was a large fountain in the middle of the road. In front of the fountain was a large red chair that resembled a type of throne; it had vines coming off of the fountain and wrapping around the chair, giving it a creepy naturalistic look. Luffy and the others had stopped walking, and my attention then went to the figure who was perched on the throne. As they stood up and began walking, I got a good view. It was a female, and her hair was the first feature I was drawn to - it was long and raven colored, falling past her hips and down to her ass. She wore a blue, tight dress that was mid-length and showed off exceptional curves and mile-long legs - had I still been a man I may have fainted from her surreal beauty.

"Hello pirates," she spoke in a soothing voice that automatically drew us all in. "Why don't you come in and rest, I'm sure your travels have been long and tiring," she suggested kindly.

"Do you have meat?" Luffy asked immediately, his mouth beginning to water slightly.

"Why of course," the lady purred. "Correct me if I am mistaken, but are you not Straw Hat Luffy?"

Luffy just nodded, clearly too interested in the mention of meat to form any type of response.

"What might your name be?" I asked, being the only one in the group staying focused on the task at hand - which was to gather more information about the island.

The women strode past me and traced her hand over Luffy's arm, "I am Venus," she spoke coolly. "Now that we have gotten the formalities out of the way, won't you all come in?" she asked, motioning towards the building to our right. Having no reason to argue, I didn't protest when the group followed Venus into the building, which was alive and bouncing with music and dancing. Venus led us over to a table and we all took a seat. She re-appeared a moment later with two trays in her hand, one holding a large quantity of meat and the other five cups of sake. After giving Luffy the tray of meat, she handed each of us a cup of sake and took the seat closest to Luffy, watching him with a shimmer in her eyes. I ignored the conversation being made and let my eyes trace the room - had I still been male I would have loved this sight, females were half-naked and dancing to the beat of a disco song. But right now, it wasn't really my forte. I turned my attention back to our table and wasn't surprised to see everyone having a blast. Luffy had consumed most of the meat, but they kept it coming. Zoro had to be on his sixth mug of sake, and Franky was enjoying the dancing women. I seemed to be the only one not having a ball.

"Don't think I forgot about you, sweetheart," a soft voice alerted me to Venus. "I have something special for you, too." Venus clicked her fingers together, and out of no-where a handsome man wearing a suit and blue blazer walked up to me. He had dark black hair and his eyes were a striking blue color. He held his hand out towards me and smiled,

"Would you care to dance?" he asked with that devious smirk. I briefly shot a gaze over to Zoro to get his okay, but he didn't even notice some hunk was talking to me - he was too invested in his sake.

"Sure," I responded, feeling somewhat annoyed Zoro wanted to come to this island in the first place. And now he's ignoring me?

Venus smiled and I saw her whisper something to the man beside her, who changed the music to a more up-beat song. The mystery man pulled me close, and I let my hands rest on his shoulders as his moved to my waist. I let him lead, but I wasn't going to be gentle or delicate - my movements were quick and full of passion as I spun around his outstretched hand before being pulled back close. My body moved on it's own accord as I remembered how much I used to love dancing. Without realizing the entire song had almost gone by, he rested his arm behind my neck and I placed my leg so it was being supported by his other hand, then I lay back letting him support my weight. As I held the finishing pose for a moment, he pulled me back up and we were so close our noses could almost touch.

Reality hit me, and I no longer felt so lost in the music. I let his hand go and backed away. I had no idea how I had become so invested, so enticed by the music. But when I returned to our table, I could feel Zoro's eyes staring at me.

"What the hell was that?" he growled and I turned to face him. He was clearly pissed.

I shrugged, "am I not allowed to dance?" I asked, testing him.

Zoro said something under his breath, but I didn't quite catch it. "What was that?" I asked, urging him to repeat it but he shook his head and simply returned to his drink.

"Well I for one, love this island!" Franky grinned as he seemed to be getting treated quite well by the sexy waitresses. I turned my attention to Luffy, who was still getting Venus's full attention, and she seemed to be getting a little frustrated for some reason. I was going to try and converse with Zoro again, but the mystery man turned up again.

"Where'd you run off to?" he asked with that handsome smile. "I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name."

"I'm Sanji," I said kindly, at least someone wanted to talk to me. "What's yours?"

He took my outstretched hand and pulled it up, planting a kiss on it. "Lovely name, I am Banri." I noticed someone had pulled up a chair for him, and he was now sitting directly opposite me with his back to Zoro.

"Nice to meet you," I replied somewhat awkwardly. It sounded wrong, but I kind of wanted Zoro to notice how this guy was treating me, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if Zoro became more of a gentleman. I love the rough-tough attitude but it would be nice if he was a little more gentle sometimes. But the Marimo wasn't even paying attention.


I spent the majority of the morning talking to Banri, he was so easy to get along with.

"I used to work at a sea restaurant called the Baraite!" I said as we spoke about food.

He smiled at this, "I've heard of that place! It's said to have incredible food - does that mean you're a chef?"

I opened my mouth to answer him, but Zoro appeared in between us and grabbed hold of my arm, tugging me up. I noticed his other arm was on Franky.

"What the hell, Zoro?" Franky yelled, clearly not happy at being interrupted.

"Where's Luffy gone?" Zoro responded, keeping his voice low so only we could hear him. I glanced around and noticed he was right - Luffy had gone missing. My eyes roamed the bar for a moment, making sure he wasn't anywhere here.

"Speaking of which, that Venus chick isn't here either," I mentioned, noticing the absence of the stunning raven.

Zoro growled, "I have a bad feeling about this," he said under his breath.
