Alright so I've been doing lots of reading of Mahwas (Korean Webtoons). There are really good ones out there like God of Highschool or maybe The Gamer. Also I started getting back into it so I've been reading Mahwas and such more often without doing anything else (Yup Lazy).

Sorry if it took longer than expected but there are many problems in life and life is one of them :D.

Nonetheless, let's continue on with the story.

"If you talk to me like a weak, frail girl. I'm going to rain hell on you." I say to Sanji.

"Don't worry I'll respect you as much as you need it!" He happily responded.

This guy is somehow still getting on my nerves even when I thought it couldn't get any worse. Why in god's name is this guy still so energetic about walking next to a girl. At first I thought it was because of my looks; yeah I'm not the ugliest. Pretty good looking if I could get guys back home blushing. Though this man had to be the most honest perverted individual I've ever walked with. My nagging of his acts didn't even persuade him to stop or slow, if anything it only made it worse.

"Uh…" What would we even talk about? Should I ask about his goals or dreams? Okay, let's go with it!

"What's your dream?" He asked.

I blinked at the question. It was quite surprising for him to say something so serious. With how he's been acting since the first time I met him. Oh well, everyone probably has some secret that they want to keep to themselves.

"Well, I'm not so sure currently. It's been… tough lately on what my dream is." Honestly I was still dumbfounded with how unusual he was being all of a sudden.

"Well, my dream is to find the All Blue. It's an ocean in which all 4 blues connect to each other. Having every type of fish in the world all in one place, that's All Blue" He stated as though a fact.

Amazing, I could only stare at the face he was making that just showed his unwavering belief in his dream, at least until he started talking again. Honestly, he seems to be a good fellow yet he just doesn't keep his better side out more. Still it's surprising how nobody in this town seems to mind any of the chit chat but then again they're not really listening in.

I just noticed as well as him that everyone seemed to be super busy and moving around into their houses and back out only to go back in again. As if rushing to hide but nope! They're probably rushing for rush hour or that's what I heard from Sanji. Pfft, as if there would be that big of a RUSH! My eyes popped out of my sockets when all of a sudden many people came out onto the streets, pushing and shoving to their need item or supply.

"Don't worry Rogue I won't let go!" Sanji shouted only for some civilian to kick him in the face, as I was pushed along with the crowd. Holy cow! Sanji was pretty far in the distance now, as the only way I could tell where he was, was by using my wind abilities? Again how do I keep forgetting!

As soon as I gathered some wind I pulled myself from the crowd and into the bright sky. Looking down towards the crowd I could spot Sanji being trampled by men and women alike while down on the floor. He seemed to spot me and his eyes glowed as though he saw some kind of angel of sorts. However, I had to wait a few minutes till he actually got up and went into a building and came out of the top of a roof nearby waving at me.

"Angel Rogue-san thank you for taking pity on my poor soul!" He shouted.

I looked towards my back to remember that to make it easier to move while in the sky, I had created visible air waves that carried me and looked like wings. Now I understood a bit more of what he meant in the first place.

"I'm no Angel, Sanji." I informed.

He only gushed more as I descended down to him, only for him to jump and hug me while the two of us landed on the ground that no longer seemed to be crowded anymore. That was way too quick and fast for me. He however didn't let go, so I gave him a good fist of love like Gramps always says to us. The results were quick as he slammed into the floor though with hearts in his eyes. Maybe I should've hit him hard enough to kill him… maybe that would have been better… never mind it wouldn't matter, he would've just haunted me in his death with big hearts still in his eyes.

Alright, now where were we? Oh yeah.

"So how did you join the Baratie?" I asked. As though something forbidden was said he stopped and his eyes seemed to go into a blank haze. He sat still for a good minute, so I gave him a good shake to try and snap him out of it.

"Well… it's complicated." Woah, now he's being secretive with something! Someone help! Sanji is in dire need of love assistance. Maybe if I give him a smooch he'll get out of his funk. Hah, as if I would give anything love related to him. Still I'll leave it at that for him I guess.

As if some awkward cloud followed we didn't continue talking till we made it to the Baratie.

"Ho, so a girl wants to work as our waitress now." Chef Zeff or at least that's what I've been hearing people say ever since I came into this restaurant. Everyone here seemed to respect him so much; I couldn't even believe how crazy it was. No matter how tough or rough these people were, they all listened to Zeff completely without fail believing in him. It was crazy when I first came in but his charisma was good. Probably, because from what I heard when I asked Zeff about what was wrong with Sanji when we first came into the restaurant.

"Chef Zeff! Sanji is back!"

Everyone was running around the place trying to set things up and get prepared for something. Everyone was diligently working… or at least as much as any normal person would. They were placing chairs everywhere along with tables and everything all around to accommodate whoever comes in.

"Sanji what took you so long, yah asshole?" A potato with a fat bottom chin said. However, Sanji just brushed past him not caring about what he said. Everyone was quite surprised apparently when nothing happened though they did finally notice me waiting.

"Ho, now who would you be brat?" The one called Zeff asked.

I began to tell him about how I met Sanji and about how we went through a little adventure all by ourselves when he helped me. If anything I don't think Zeff really cared about what I had to say on what had happened while he was out, until the part where I asked him how he joined the Baratie. At that moment Zeff seemed to stand still and think, I guess on what I had just told him.

"Well if you really want to know I'll tell you."

"Mn! I want to know more about Sanji!"

"Well the gist of it is he was stranded for some time on a rock and he didn't get to eat for awhile. However, eventually a ship rescued him and he joined the Baratie eventually."

Though a gist, I felt as though something important had been left out to me, as there seemed to be some personal experience from the way he spoke. But I didn't question it further.

"Well I wanted to know if I could get some food from here and sell some stuff to y'all but I left my ship on the opposite side of the island."

And from that point on we talked for a few minutes deciding what I had to do to sell some stuff and get a ride for free.

And that brings it back to this point.

"I'll be a waitress for a week. So how about it?"

"That's not too much time but it'll do."

After making a deal I stayed on the Baratie until it had finished laying out everything in the boat. During the tine I was waiting, I had talked a bit to the rest of the cooks about what it was like and if they would rather do something else. Although at first they seemed to hate some others, generally they were friendly with each other even with their threats and such.

The most amazing thing was when they lifted off towards the other side of the island. A moving cook ship, if I didn't know any better I would say this is a horrible idea. Still it amazed me how they were, even if I wasn't an open minded person. Their backgrounds didn't matter to each other. If anything I would say they are more like a dysfunctional family that still works out in the end. Always working together and tearing things apart. Some interesting people I've just met if I say so myself.

Once we made it to my ship after navigating to the other side of the island, I grabbed the rope of my ship and hooked it onto the Baratie. Making sure it was secured I raised a thumbs up to signal I was ready to leave.

Completing my little knot I went back into the Baratie to see Sanji walking down from the stairs. He briefly looked at me and immediately after sometime upstairs, turned back into his old perverted self and jumped at me. I felt happy though that he was fine and no longer in a weird mood. After telling him of my stay for a week his eyes glowed and shouted.

"Don't worry, out on the sea if anyone messes with you while you're on duty or not. Just tell me what's happening and I'll beat the shit out of the one who messed with a lady as perfect as you my dear Rogue."

Funny. I didn't really need his help to beat up somebody but after his little charade I couldn't help but smile at his words. Who knew he could have such a way with words. Now I just had to stay with them for a week. That won't delay anything for me at all.

On the first day, there were many little mishaps such as plate droppings or cleaning problems for me but nothing too hard. If anything, my time was mainly spent learning how to cook while just waiting till I needed to come out and serve somebody. Even then I had used my wind abilities mainly to move plates, while focusing on learning how to cook better meals with Sanji or whoever was nice enough to help.

Every other day was pretty much the same with the layout of how the day was. Help out with them here and there along with some other things. With all the little fights here and there I would say it wasn't too interesting but hey, I'm not one of the cooks. Also I had progressively become closer with everyone on the ship, even Chef Zeff who I figured out eventually was from the Grand Line. Which actually wasn't surprising with the aura he gave out when I first saw him.

Still it was fun being on the ship. Non stop jokes in the kitchen along with the learning, nothing seemed normal while being on this ship. If anything I had gained lots of knowledge on the ship. And even better they bought some of the equipment I had on me too!

Though a fun and fast week my work had been completed and I was preparing to leave. I was going to miss these stupid morons who work here. As I make my way to the door, after packing some things up for myself, all the cooks seem to gather out into the room. I couldn't help but stop at them walking closer, till they all opened the way for me. It was quiet till Sanji broke the silence.

"So… you're finally leaving?"

"Yeah."

"You know we could always use a waitress."

"I sure do." The small talk was getting to me. I felt the more I stayed the less likely I would leave, but I knew that I would have to leave eventually. I continued onto my boat and set my bags down onto i-.

"HEY!"

I turned around towards the large crowd of cooks out on the side of the Baratie. All of them looking tough but looked on the brink of tears.

"Don't forget Rogue! This is the Baratie and you'll always be welcomed!"

Heh. These guys trying to be all sentimental, if anything I should be more emotional. But as always, all things must eventually come to an end. Whether you want it to or not, things must end. I looked toward the sky and looked back towards them. Huh, who knew the Baratie would be pretty rich? I'm pretty sure most of my items are gone. Oh well, I'll just restock on the next Island I come to. Hopefully it doesn't suck. Good thing I'm not a cry baby like Luffy.

But things sure are always interesting wherever I go. But who cares! I proceeded to jump into the sky and flung my arms and legs into an x shape.

"Adventure awaits!"

Alright, I've been getting pretty pumped again to start typing. Oh boy do I feel good after this one. As I didn't type it up all on one day which kills me. How do people type like 5k in one day? I feel it's pretty hard. Then again some have a plan that sets up what they're doing but who cares this is my story. Hopefully this chapter was better than my last chapter I posted. Review and whatever else that you may want to do as long as it isn't something bad.

While I'm at it, I wanted to thank the people who have followed my story and favorited it so far!

Anyways as always thanks to Black Night Wolf for beta'ing and stay Quackful my friends!
