AC: Welcome back for one piece birthday collection and this time it's Sanji.

Dusk & Eclipse: HAPPY BIRTHDAY SANJI!

AC: Yeah happy birthday man. Now enjoy the story.

Sanji is in the kitchen, making desserts; a delicious strawberry parfait just for the ladies. Lying across his shoulders is Clarity, in a form of a ferret, watching him make the food. She licks her lips, staring at the treat. The chef laughs a bit as he put the finishing touch. He smiles, inspecting the dessert "what do you think, Clarity?"

"Beautiful and delicious."

Sanji laughs "I figure you'll say that." He picked up the tray and walked towards the door "now to give it to Robin-Chan and Nami-Swan." The moment he opens the door, he sniff the air and sigh before walking to the girls on the chair "here you go my sweets."

Nami and Robin looks up, and smile "thank you, Sanji." Nami thanked him as she handed Robin her parfait before taking one herself "this look delicious." Sanji smile brightly at the praise.

"HEY SANJI! CAN I HAVE ONE?" The smile change into a frown. He snaps his head to Luffy and yells.

"NO!"

"BUT YOU MADE THREE."

"WELL IT AIN'T FOR YOU."

"Wait you made three?" Sanji stops and turn to Clarity. She looks confused as she stares at the last parfait "I thought you made two? Who you made that for?" He smirks.

"It's for you, Clarity." He answered, placing the tray down. Clarity blinks her eyes in shock. She slowly starts to crawl down his arm then got off. She looks at the dessert then look at Sanji before looking back it. Knowing what she's thinking, he nudges it to her, giving her an okay. That what all she need as a big smile grace her face, taking a strawberry and eating it. She moans in delight causing them to laugh.

"It's good?" She swallowed.

"So good." She took another bite, enjoying the delectable fruit "that was very sweet of you, Sanji. You deserve a gift." Sanji raise an eyebrow.

"Gift?"

"Yeah! A special gift for a special someone on their special day." She said, finishing the fruit before taking one granola, popping it in her mouth. Sensing the confusion, she looks up and tilt her head "why the face?"

Sanji blinks "um… it's nothing just… what kind of gift?" She smirk, and without saying a word, she pops another granola in her mouth, grab hold of the cup and disappeared; leaving two confused and one amused.

"Well that was something." Nami said. Sanji nods in agreement as Nami went back to eating. Robin took a bite from her parfait.

"It seems Clarity left a surprise." Sanji looked up at Robin, who points at the tray. Looking down he sees a golden brooch with red gemstone. Picking it up, his eyes widen in awe, marveling the beauty of it. He rubs his thumb over the gemstone until something else caught his eyes. On the tray is a strip of paper. Feeling curious, he picks it up and read the words.

Happy Birthday Sanji- Love Clarity

A sound of laughter caught his attention. He turns his head and sees Clarity sharing her dessert with Luffy as they laugh together. A smile appears on his face. Shaking his head, he chuckles 'let him slide.' He pin the brooch on his suit before walking away, thanking Clarity for the gift.

Somewhere on Momoiro Island, a bunch of okama is running around as if they're looking for someone, yelling out their names.

"SANJI! WHERE ARE YOU?"

"COME OUT DEARIE. DON'T BE AFRAID."

As they kept searching, they ran past the tall tree not noticing a male figure sitting on a branch. The figure watches them, not making a sound. The moment they left, he sighs in relief.

"Good riddance. I don't know how long I can't take." He stares at the pink leaves, swaying the wind "but… I got to suck it up and keep training if I want to get stronger for my crew."

It's been one year since he got trapped on this hell island. Being separated from the others. It was also when he started training to get stronger. He sighs as he lean against the tree, closing his eyes 'hope the others are doing okay. Especially Luffy. God I hope Clarity is doing fine and looking after him.' Sighing again, he listens to the wind, enjoying a bit of peace and quiet.

"Sanji hiding from beautiful ladies? Is the world coming to an end?" His eyes snapped open to see a beautiful woman with white-blue skin, long wavy coral hair. Wearing a lavender halter top, beige pants and beige low heel shoe "the Sanji I know would've swoon at their beauty." She teased. He can feel his jaws drop as he continued to stare "cat got your tongue?"

He blinked his eyes before he spoke "Clarity?!"

"In the flesh." She laughs at his expression. She laugh so hard, she change into a ring-tailed lemur "you should've seen your face."

"Clarity?! Was that you?!"

"Oh come on, Sanji." She hops on his lap and grins "don't tell me you forgot that 'gorgeous woman' sleeping on the hammock with Luffy, did you?" His eyes grew bigger in disbelief.

"THAT WAS YOU?!"

"HAHAHAHA." Clarity bust a gut, throwing her head back as she clutch her stomach "oh my god! Your face... your face. It was funnyhehehe." She continued to laugh while Sanji frown.

"Well sorry I didn't know it was you. Does Luffy know?" Calming down, she wipes away the tear and smirk.

"Of course he does along with Ace, and his folks back home." She chuckles when she sees the cook pout "aww don't pout sweetie. It makes you even adorable."

"Adorable you say." She rolls her eyes at his smile.

"Down puppy."

"Anyway what are you doing here? Are you supposed to be with Luffy?" Clarity smiles softly.

"He's a big boy. He's good on his own. I'm here to give you something." Sanji raise an eyebrow.

"Like what?" Clarity smirks.

"A gift. Now close your eyes." Hearing the word gift, he got curious but obeys. It was quiet for moment other then the sound of her laughter but quiet. He then felt something in his hand before she spoke "now open them." He opens his eyes and looked down to see a silk blue pocket square with his name on it "happy birthday Sanji."

He looks up to see Clarity smiling. He then hugs the lemur and smiles "thank you, Clarity."

"You're welcome." She said before pulling back "now I got to go. I'll tell Luffy you said hi, okay? And stay safe."

"Oh I will." She then grins.

"Also have fun with the ladies." He groans making her laugh before she disappears. Once she was gone, he sighs then smiles in gratitude for the gift.

"You look handsome." Sanji rolls his eyes fondly as he gave Nami her dessert "you're even dapper as well. Hell you even got stronger." He shook his head knowing what's coming next "did they put you through the wringer?" He sighs as the voice laugh. Turning around to face Clarity, he smiles.

"Enjoying yourself?" Clarity smirks as she takes her dessert from the tray.

"Oh yeah!" She took a bite from her ice cream as she walk with Sanji "I love to tease my friends."

"Uh huh."

"Anyway I meant what I said, you did have gotten stronger."

"Thank you." Clarity chuckles before smiling.

"So do you know what special day it is?" He smirks.

"My birthday?"

"Bingo! Ready for your gift?" He turns to her and nods.

"Lay it on me." Putting her ice cream down, she took out a black leather bracelet and grins "here you go. Happy birthday Sanji." He laughs as he took his gift.

"Thank-"

His sentence was cut off when he felt a pair of lips on his cheek causing him to blush. His eyes turn into hearts as he swoons while Clarity pulls back. She giggles, shaking her head before picking up her ice cream, and walking away smiling fondly; leaving the poor sap "you're welcome."

AC: That was it again happy birthday Sanji.

Dusk: Enjoy your day man.

Eclipse: Cause you deserve it.

AC: Yep and until next time later everyone.

Dusk & Eclipse: Later.
