" DIE ! "
Being in front of his computer, Rochi crushed the keys of the keyboard under his fingers, while he stared at the screen where a huge troll could be seen. Being in the process of fighting it, the father of the family completely ignored Kyô, who seemed suffocated behind him
Hands on his neck, Kyô tried in vain to loosen the dog collar which was choking him.
"Dad...I'm sorry! I'm not going outside anymore! Please take this away from me."
"Tsss! SHUP UP!" Rochi roared, directing his gaze towards him.
However, taking his eyes off the screen for a moment, he allowed the huge troll to attack his avatar and kill him in a second. Only able to see his character's death without reacting, Rochi stood still, while a "Game Over".
Finally, gritting his teeth, he punched a wall with his fist, before glaring angrily at his son.
"Son of bitch! I lost because of you."
"Dad...Dad..." His son said sobbing.
Approaching him, Rochi declared.
"When I'm playing video games, haven't I ever told you not to talk to me or disturb me?"
" Y ... Yes. "
"Then why did I die because of your moans?" Rochi roared. "Do you want me to gut you?"
In response, a voice was heard behind the half-repaired door to the apartment.
"It's not his fault you lost! You're just too bad."
Recognizing Sanji's voice, Rochi straightened his face.
"Why are you blaming the kid? After all, if he's moaning the way he does, isn't it because his horrible dad has tied a collar around his neck?"
"SHUT UP!" Rochi roared. "I didn't ask you anything, asshole! Let me educate my son as I want."
"Huh? Do you call that education?" Sanji asked.
Immediately, Rochi flinched when he saw the door open, while Sanji entered the apartment.
"Toit and I have a very different definition of what education is."
"DAMN IT! You have no right to come into my house like that! Get out of here if you don't want me to call the police."
"The police? What a good idea." Sanji assured. "That way the police can see how you are raising your son and we can find out which of us will be arrested."
"Tsss! Don't talk nonsense! Kyô left our apartment without my permission! Any parent will tell you that this deserves a punishment! How is what I'm doing wrong?"
Barely time to finish his sentence, Rochi gasped, feeling Sanji's foot hit his abdomen. Spitting saliva, Rochi fell to his knees, moaning in pain.
"Do you feel this pain?" Asked the cook. "This pain is identical to the pain your son is feeling now! So, I ask you a question: what you are doing, is it nurturing or abuse?"
Wanting to straighten up, Rochi felt Sanji's foot begin to crush his throat, while the cook affirmed.
"Punishments are a way of educating our children! We are simply trying to erase bad habits from our children! That's what all bad parents say! People like you are like my father! go listen to me."
Watching Richi struggle under his foot, Sanji declared.
"When parents punish their children for their own benefit...it's called breeding."
Continuing to feel Sanji's foot crush his throat, Rochi let out more painful moans, as his vision blurred. Eventually, from lack of oxygen, he lost consciousness.
Opening his eyes, Rochi sat up before looking around. It was the second time he passed out and woke up sleeping on the floor.
"DAMN IT! THIS GUY..." He roared, starting to get up.
Again he heard chewing noises, while his son was again eating in the living room. Eating with pleasure, Kyô enjoyed Sanji's good cooking again.
Seeing this, Rochi got up while groaning, wondering if it was a good idea to get angry again. Finally, grabbing a chair, he sat down across from his son, with one hand resting on his aching abdomen.
"Asshole..." he muttered, thinking of Sanji.
Then, watching his son eating, he saw him eating so fast that he spilled food on the table. Immediately, Kyô jumped in fear when he heard his father slam his hand against the table.
"DAMN IT! How can you eat so dirty?"
"So…Sorry!" His son apologized.
"DAMN IT! Stop eating! You don't even deserve to eat."
" And why that ? "
Again, Rochi froze in fear, as Sanji's voice came from the kitchen. Appearing in the living room, the cook affirmed.
"It's totally normal for a kid his age to eat like that! Especially if he's malnourished and hungry! I bet a guy like you ate like that too when you were your age."
Then, approaching Kyô, Sanji gave him a towel.
"Take that and just wipe whatever you drop on the table."
"Thank you." Kyo thanked him.
Seeing this, several veins of rage appeared on Rochi's forehead. However, getting up, the man ends up walking towards his room.
" DAMN ITTTTTTTTT ! "
Then he slammed his bedroom door so hard it made the whole apartment shake. Hearing this, Kyô trembled again. However, Sanji declared.
"Don't worry! If he's angry, it's because he knows he can't take it out on you anymore! Now you can be sure he won't hurt you."
Hearing this, Kyô opened his mouth as if to say something. However, he was silent. Seeming pensive, he ends up closing his mouth, before lowering his gaze.
" Huh? " Sanji wondered when he saw him. " A problem ? "
Kyô shook his head slightly, before leaving the table. Seeing him do this, Sanji noticed that the boy seemed to be preoccupied with something.
"Are you leaving?" Sydney asked.
"Yes." Sanji assured, as he was about to leave his apartment. "I think Rochi won't come out of his room until tomorrow! I persecuted him so much that he must be afraid that I'll come back again to correct him."
"What if he goes after his son again?"
A paper flew up to her. Picking it up, Sydney noticed a phone number written on it.
"I intend to come back tomorrow to continue the education of this guy! Nevertheless, if this night, you hear him attacking his son again, don't hesitate to call me! I will come immediately to have a discussion with him. "
Hearing this, Sydney looked at the phone number with interest. Seeing this, Sanji affirmed him.
"And if you have any problems, you can also contact me! I will come immediately to help you."
Hearing this, Sydney blushed a little, before immediately looking away.
"Tssss! Like I need help from a guy like you."
However, she declared.
"But if you want to come to my house again tomorrow, you will have to cook me again like today."
"No problem." Sanji assured him, before leaving his apartment. "See you tomorrow, Sydney-chan."
Then he left, before leaving the building.
"Anyway, I'll have to come back tomorrow." The blond asserted, while starting to light a cigarette. "It's way too early for me to leave."
Exhaling from the smoke, Sanji was attracted by the sound of a car. And it was at this moment that a limousine rolled beside him, before stopping. Then, a door opened at the level of the cook.
"Huh?" the blonde wondered.
"Sanji-san…my regards." Galadriel greeted him, with a tender smile.
"Nazarick-chan?" Sanji said. "Are you looking for Luffy?"
"Not at all." Galadriel retorted. "Actually, I would like to ask you a favor."
" A favor ? "
"Sanji-san… would you be interested in working for me and becoming the Nazarick family's cook?"
" What ? "
Having also left UA for a while, Luffy was in a ramen shop, eating as much as he wanted. People looked at him in horror or disgust, since Luffy constantly ate in this inhuman way.
"Another bowl!" Luffy shouted, as five piles of empty bowls were already on the counter.
"Kid, you've already eaten 50 bowls. I don't have enough ingredients to satisfy you. Please go.'' said the shopkeeper, bowing.
"But I have money." Luffy said, showing his credit cards.
"Look, it's not about the money, but I can't keep feeding a monster like you." Said the trader. "An appetite like yours is not human."
Hearing this, Luffy patted his stomach, before leaving his seat.
"It's okay! Now, I want to eat something sweet! I wonder if I can find a restaurant that sells desserts."
"How can he still have room to put something in his stomach?" the salesman wondered, seeing him leave.
As Luffy walked out of the restaurant, he saw people staring at him. Of course, even though a few weeks had passed, no one had forgotten the face of the man who openly insulted the heroes of Japan and beat up a high school student. Some of them were still swearing at him, trying to spit or knock him down, but Luffy didn't care at all.
Truth be told, most people looked at him with wary eyes. And this was caused by the fact that there were many rumors about Luffy's presence as the hero claimed to have fought Darkness and forced him to leave town.
Still, some people claimed that Luffy took part in the fight. But what had been his help in this battle?
"Dude, that was good. I can't wait to see what Sanji will prepare for dinner tonight.'' stated Luffy.
As he walked back to the apartment, he saw a man in a black suit and from their appearance, they were obviously hiding in the shadows, they were no good.
"Huh?" Luffy asked confused.
He soon walked over to them and started listening to their conversation. The man in the dark was holding a briefcase and the other guy, who might be a criminal, was giving him an envelope.
"What are they doing ?" Luffy asked.
"Is this the new weapon?" Asked the criminal.
''Yes, once a hero is hit, he loses his Quirk for a while.'' Said the man in the dark.
"But can it spread?" Asked the criminal.
''No, only the person who is affected by the poison can lose their Quirk! So don't be stupid, you only get one target."
"If it's wrong, I'll come back to you." Said the criminal holding a gun.
"Never mind, you'll have to deal with my boss and trust me, he's not someone you want to piss off." Said the man in the dark.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?" Luffy asked the two of them.
The man in the black and the criminal saw the teen in the straw hat see them transitioning, if it was any other time they would shoot and kill him, but since it was still time to patrol for some heroes, they need it to shut up.
"Go, kid." The man said, in the dark.
"This is no place for you." Said the criminal holding a gun in Luffy's direction.
But of course, Luffy wasn't afraid.
"Are you exchanging weapons?" Luffy asked.
"No, we're just negotiating that. Now get lost or you might get hurt.'' Said the criminal.
''Hey! I just asked a few questions, no need to be so serious.'' Luffy said.
"Okay kid, how about I pay you for your silence" Said the criminal.
''What? My silence? Luffy asked.
"Here!" said the criminal shooting Luffy's head.
PAN
Both would expect a lot of blood and brains to be splattered on the floor and walls. However, the ball only bounced.
''Eh?' the two men asked, in horror.
''I'm a rubber man! Bullets can't hurt me.
" What? "
"Hey, that kid..." one of the enemies said, looking at Luffy. "He's the elastic guy everyone is talking about."
"GUM GUM!" Luffy shouted, starting to stretch his fists.
Immediately, knocking and impact noises were heard. Then, two bodies fell to the ground, with their faces bloodied.
"Idiots." Luffy said seeing the two defeated on the ground.
Luffy soon saw that the envelope the criminal was holding was splattered on the floor. It was full of money, but it didn't interest him. However, he wanted to see what they were trading.
"Huh? Guess it wouldn't hurt if I took a look.'' He said taking the briefcase.
Luffy opened the briefcase, only to find a syringe full of a strange liquid.
''A vaccine ? Weird, is it for a hospital? Maybe Chopper could watch.'' He said.
Before he could take the briefcase with him, he left the object open and the syringe flew out of the safe place and hit the ground.
''Ops.'' Luffy said seeing the vaccine being destroyed.
Seeing the liquid dripping on the floor, he scratched the back of his head.
"What do I do? Should I wake up these two guys to apologize?"
Luffy was stopped when his cell phone started ringing.
Buzz Buzz
"Hi, Nami." Luffy said seeing who was on the other side of the line.
" Where are you? You left UA again without telling us or telling us where you went.'' Nami said. "Sanji just called me to tell us that he will be late tonight! So, we decided to order food! I advise you to come quickly if you want to eat something. "
Just mention the word "Dinner" and Luffy would forget about the syringe.
''HEY! Don't eat without me! Luffy shouted. "I have hardly eaten anything since I left.
" What did you eat this afternoon? '' Asked Nami.
"I just ate 50 bowls of ramen. Nothing much.'' said Luffy.
" What? Do you still want to eat after that? Nami asked.
Then she sighed.
" I don't even understand how this could surprise me! Come right before you eat everything. " Nami said.
"Of course!" Luffy shouted, running towards the apartment.
As Luffy ran towards his safe place, he didn't know what powerful weapon he had just destroyed thanks to his clumsiness.
Nazarick Mansion
Getting out of the limo, Sanji looked at the huge mansion in front of him.
"So this is the Nazarick family home." He said, looking around the garden. "The garden is so gigantic that even the Baratier could fit in it."
"It's just our home in Japan." Galadriel affirmed, walking in front of him. " We have several mansions around the world and above all hundreds of businesses! The Nazarick family is not just anyone. "
"I want to believe you." Sanji assured, following her.
Quickly, the cook noticed a multitude of servants bowing before Galadriel, in a sign of respect for her.
"Welcome back, Galadriel-sama."
However, glaring at them, Sanji felt a strange sensation coming from these people. Hate seemed to come from them and was directed at Sanji, as if he weren't welcome here.
Hiding his surprise, Sanji continued to follow Galadriel inside the mansion. Immediately, a maid with a dog's head appeared in front of them.
"Galadriel-sama, welcome back to your mansion, woof."
Then, she looked at Sanji, before also bowing to him.
"Sanji-san, I heard that Galadriel-sama brought you here for a job interview! I hope to have the pleasure of working with you for the Nazarick family! I am Pestonya, the head housekeeper, woof."
" Hello, miss. " Sanji replied, bowing in turn, out of politeness.
Staring at Pestonya's head for a few moments, he ended up comparing it to Tokoyami's and thought it was due to her Quirk.
"If you'll follow me! I'll show you the kitchen."
Then, the trio walked through the manor before stopping in front of an enormous double door, which Pestonya opened.
"Here is... the kitchen of the manor." Galadriel affirmed.
Seeing both doors open, Sanji ends up seeing a huge kitchen that sparkles with a thousand lights.
"Ohhhhhhhhh..." the cook said, entering the room.
Walking through the kitchen, the cook gazed with interest at the counters and the many ovens gathered here. This kitchen had so many appliances that an entire team of cooks could work here without getting in the way.
" Appliances in this place are of good quality. "
Then he ran his finger around and then stared at it.
"And there is not the slightest trace of dust! Hygiene is perfectly respected."
Then, his gaze was drawn to a counter with a dozen kitchen knives. Grabbing one of them, Sanji could easily see his reflection there, while not the slightest bit of dirt could be seen on his blade. Its edge also seemed flawless.
" The instruments used are also perfectly maintained! I have no complaints to make. "
"Certainly." Affirmed Pestonya. "As head housekeeper of the Nazarick family, it is my duty that every speck of dust be stamped out! Glad to hear you compliment my work, woof!"
Next, Sanji walked over to a large fridge and opened it. Inside, there was an astronomical amount of food, which all looked different.
"Oh? There's a lot of food I've never seen."
"In all honesty, I really enjoy the variety of foods I eat." Galadriel stated. "I find it a shame not to taste food from other countries when it is just as delicious."
Grabbing a fruit he didn't recognize, Sanji declared.
"The food here is perfectly preserved! I see that waste is avoided."
"Absolutely," Galadriel assured. "If there's one thing I hate, it's waste! To me, food is sacred! I hate to see someone throwing away food."
Hearing this, Sanji smiled a little, before putting the fruit back in the fridge. Closing it then, he turned to Galadriel while declaring.
" This kitchen is impeccable! It's nice to see that the people working here take the greatest care of it. "
"That is the case ! And so? Is my proposal interesting you?"
" I'm sorry, but I refuse. " Sanji stated. "I am the cook of only one person: my captain! I have no intention of leaving the group to which I belong."
"I know that full well." Galadriel assured. "Nevertheless, from what I know, you may remain in our world for an indefinite period! How about signing a contract with me? Until you can leave this world, I could give you the money in exchange for your gastronomic services! And when you can, you can return to your world with Luffy and the eyes."
"So even if I accept your proposal and only stay in this world for two more days, you won't do anything to hold me back."
"That's it." Galadriel assured, still smiling. "All I want is to eat your food and you will be entitled to a salary."
Thinking about that, Sanji confessed.
"Honestly, I often feel guilty seeing the number of purchases we make, with the money Nezu gives us! I think I could do him a favor if I started making my own money."
Then, looking at the kitchen, he declared.
"And I really don't mind working here for a few hours a day! If I can cook ingredients that I don't know, I could later redo all my recipes for Luffy and the others."
"In that case, are you willing to work for me?"
"Huh...I think I'll tell Nami-chwan and the others about it first! It's true that since I've been here, all I do is visit Japan! Getting paid by becoming a cook for you might to be my way of helping those who are trying to bring us home."
Seeing him undecided, Galadriel tried to use her last joker.
"In truth, there are many people who would like to learn your way of cooking."
" Huh ? "
Snapping her fingers, Galadriel let another door open. Then, within seconds, 20 homunculi entered the room, before bowing to Sanji.
"Sanji-sama, please teach us how to cook."
Immediately, two hearts replaced Sanji's eyes, while blood began to flow from his nose.
