A/N: Please keep in mind that this is NOT a single coherent story and each chapter exists in its own little bubble.

Co-starring Sanji again, because for some reason I love the idea of Sanji being the first one of the crew to find out that Luffy is involved with Hancock, and having some kind of awkward conversation with Luffy about sex. XD

~ Shards of Emerald ~

"Hey, Luffy," Sanji said one day during lunch. "I've been meaning to ask you something."

"What?" Luffy replied. Although it came out sounding more like whckkk because he said it with his mouth full.

Sanji facepalmed. "I know your favorite food is meat, but what's your second-favorite thing to eat? And please swallow before you answer!"

The cook was hoping to add some variety to his captain's diet. As far as he could recall, Luffy seemed to be entirely carnivorous, which was not good for a normal human body.

Sanji almost choked when he heard Luffy's answer. That can't be right. He did not just say that. Out loud, the cook said, "Uhh... sorry, I didn't quite catch that. What did you say?"

Luffy parted his lips to answer, his mouth already stuffed obscenely full of food once more, before he remembered Sanji's earlier instruction and swallowed before he spoke.

"Hancock."

Well, that was better than what Sanji had thought he'd said the first time, anyway.

"Wait. What?! You... and the Snake Princess? Really?" Sanji asked, somewhat incoherently.

Luffy, who was already stuffing his face with food once more, just laughed at Sanji's reaction.

The cook sighed heavily. He hadn't thought that Luffy was mature enough to be interested in sex, much less that he actually had a relationship of some type going on and was capable of casually joking about such things.

"That's great. Good for you. Congrats on the sex. But you still haven't told me what other kinds of food you like."

"Huh? Oh... anything's fine!"
