The Vinsmoke Bride Prologue

Hell.

The only description Sanji can lay on his current living conditions is plain and simple that it's hell.

Thanks to that dratted Warlord Kuma not only has Sanji been separated from his friends and fellow crewmembers, but now he's stuck on an island in the Kamabakka Kingdom filled with transvestites, drag queens of all kinds.

Sanji's absolute worst nightmare with not a single woman in sight. For a man such as himself who adores women, this is plain and true torture.

Sanji spent days fleeing from them until Emporio Ivankov returned from taking part in the war at Marineford, Marine Headquarters.

Through Ivankov Sanji gains knowledge about what happened with Luffy and the horrifying things he'd witnessed. He soon gets a huge sense of relief when he sees in the newspaper that Luffy survived his potentially fatal injuries and deciphered the message that his captain was sending him and the others from the cover photo.

Instead of meeting up in Saboady Archipelago after a handful of days as planned, they'd all wait an extended period of two years before converging at that place once more. Each of them has to train and become stronger for the time comes when they do enter the New World. Right now they're not strong enough, but by the time they are, there will be basically nothing that'll stand in their way.

That is the general idea.

So Sanji fully devotes his time to becoming stronger and learning the legendary Attack Cuisine recipes from Ivankov. With the love he has for his friends and dedication to his craft, Sanji vows to learn those recipes to better be able to both rejuvenate and help others keep their strength up through his cooking. At the same time, he evades the island inhabitants relentlessly pursuing him nonstop.

It's during one of these many chases that he's lost count on that he meets…HER.

This young woman's name is Lanette this miracle meeting will ultimately alter Sanji's life path in a way that not even he could've ever fathomed no matter how hard the attempt might've been.

After this chance encounter let's just say this terrifying island was looking a whole lot better in Sanji's eye.

Authors Note:

I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I literally almost flipped my lid the second I first learned about Sanji's heritage during the Vinsmoke/Big Mom Arc. Around this time is when this idea first manifested inside my mind. This is still way in the beginning stages so bear with me because I'm still trying to organize and sort things out for this perspective.

In some of these I seriously need your help sorting out a couple of details given my thoughts are currently all over the place.

For instance, hypothetically speaking, if I was to have Lanette travel with Saboady by the end of the two year time period where Sanji is meeting up with the remainder of the Straw Hats show my OC be pregnant or already have a child should it get that far? Or should she and Sanji just not have a child altogether?

Also, any recommendations on what her last name should be? I'm really stumped on that, but I know that some characters on the show don't have last names that anyone really knows of. Do you think I should take that approach?

Another thing is what do you think her background should be? I'm stuck between two things. The first one is that Lanette is already living on the Momoiro Island in the Kamabakka Kingdom or maybe part of a family of merchants the Revolutionaries trust to deliver and trade supplies in their ports.

As per usual in this type of situation those who offer their opinion and I pick what they have in mind will have one single question answered about the plotline on where I'm planning the path this story will go.

September 11th has come and gone once again. I was very young when it happened. Don't know about all of you, but I certainly was really scared. One minute I was at elementary school in class and the next my parents are pulling me out, taking my little sister and I home. That's when we learned the truth. The Twin Towers we'd see all the time whenever we traveled outside the city limits on road trips would no longer be there. We were stunned when we'd seen them destroyed on TV. Those trips were never the same again just like the lives of millions. In honor for the people that fell that day and to those still struggling to survive from the aftermath I suggest a moment of respective silence. I think we all can use that.

Hope you all like this one! I certainly did while writing it for your vast enjoyment! ;D

I've been meaning to get this one specific idea online for a while and only now I've managed to find time and inspiration for it. I'm very satisfied and happy about it.
