( I struggle with this chapter cause there's so much happening and so much sentence dialog..We'll see how it goes.)
" Hey fishing guy! Sell me some fish for cheap." I I'd recognize the man anywhere. Not exactly how Zoro had described him but close enough.
He suddenly spots me and drops to one knee. " My goddess of all that is beautiful, you don't happen to be the fisherman from this stall would you." He hold my hands in his own, looking up at me with hearts in his eyes, bringing me to a laughter.
" Your the cook." Is all I can get out but he abruptly stands placing a hand over his chest slightly bowing his head.
" That I am . May I ask how you know me?i can't seem to recall how we met and I'd never forget a beauty such as you." He has a slightly serious look on his face. The old man beside us panicking about the predicament our green haired swordsman had gotten himself into.
" The green haired fellow!" He pulls on my sleeve worried out of his mind.
" I'm sure that he will be fine.. No need to worry. And to answer your question, We've never met but your Zoro's friend no?" He scratched the back of his head.
"well sort of we're on the same crew." I laugh again. " I know. He told me. I'm Layla, I'm sorry I only know you as 'shitty cook', Is there something else I can call you?" The blond cook gets a irk mark on his forehead forcing a smile as he offers me a hand. AS I place mine in his, he kisses it's knuckles introducing himself.
"My name is Sanji malady. And what is your relati.." He interrupted by the screams of the people at the harbor. A large ship bursting out of the water, split in two. I spot him drenched, sitting on its mast." Looks like he's come back alive." I pull my hand away from him and start walking over to where Zoro can hear me. " I found Sanji-san!" I hope that he can hear me and I'm assured that he did when he send a glare our way before rushing towards us.
" Layla-sawan, here comes a dangerous man. you'd best get behind me." The cook says with hearts in his eyes. I'll never get used to his blanket flirting and I see Zoro flying towards us with his swords draw.
" Shitty Cook get your hands off of her." They clash, one with swords and the other with his leg. They continues arguing even after we'd decided to start heading towards the ship.
" Oi Marimo. How the hell do you know this beautiful Layla-san huh" Sanji lights a cigarette. " That's non of your business shitty cook." Zoro answers. " Zoro and I met two years ago." I tell Sanji. He swoons."Oi Marimo, don't go wandering off. you get lost as soon as I take my eyes off of you." Sanji takes care to remind our green haired man, who is already in a bad mood. " Huh, who do you think your talking too mustache eyebrows huh." They always have something to say back to each other " Sanji-san, Zoro, please try not to argue so much. you are drawing lots of attention." I remind them as we walk through the crowded streets. Suddenly Sanji has wander away while we continue walking. Once again, we are separated and then reunited over and over again.
We stop mid step, hiding behind a stall as marines suddenly run past us yelling something about the straw hats gathering members. " Oi number seven. What the hell are they going on about." " Don't go ranking me number seven just because you miraculously found your way back before everyone!" They begin arguing again.
" I'm sure the navy is starting to surround the island. Should probably hurry to your ship." Just as we say this, a small ringing sounds from the cooks. A mini den den mushi rings. While Sanji and Zoro fought sword and foot. You can almost see the red and blue fires burning their forms. They put their fight on pause to pick up the call from someone sho sounds excitable." The marines are coming, move ship, run. Did you understand that Marimo?"
" understand this curly brow, Later. I . Kill. You."
" I thought for someone with a muscle brain like you, the simplest form of explanation would be best."" Isn't it a little bit rowdy over there? Maybe we should use this chance to get away." We starter running and hear an explosion.
" Oi! Luffy!!Why are you always in the middle of the trouble!" They have a sweet reunion while running but are suddenly attacked by a the things called Px5 and again, they begin arguing about who defeated it. The people below us scramming out o their minds, astonished about seeing this crew in the flesh.
" Oi Luffy you're number 9. hurry up." Zoro's really taking the fact that he was first to heart. " Shat up Zoro, only you care about the order. Come on Luffy, everyone's waiting at grove 42. " Sanji explained before turning to me while we run."Layla-san will you be alright on your own? We can drop you off somewhere if you'd like ." But before anymore can be said, guns are fired at us and Luffy turns to face the grey haired Rayleigh, standing above everyone, giving a final goodbye.
" Hurry up and get going." I watch as the infamous straw hat Luffy proclaimed to his teacher and the sky that he, will be become the pirate king. I feel Zoro's hand holding mine. Glancing over, I see him with a big smile on his face. I see the admirationed these two pe[poel hold for their captain." Sanji-san, I'm right where I want to be. No need to worry about me." I snap my fingers. Silence. I let a ring form around us and they watch in wonder and the world around us becomes silent.
" It's just like 2 years ago.. You're the one who did it?" They stare at me and I nod. " We think we really should go. This'll make us a little less noticeable and quiet" They agree and start running.
I catch the eye of Luffy and he's grinning from ear to ear with a star filled gaze.
" SUGEEE. I can't hear anything around us!!!" He yells.
" Luffy! Just because they can't hear you doesn't mean you should yell!" Zoro scolds the younger boy. I'm suddenly scooped up into his arms, Zoro I mean and the trio begin running even faster. Sanji stops once too pick up bags that he had tied down and he and Luffy begin talking." So Who are you?" The captain asks casually as if we aren't running for our lives. I look over Zoro's shoulder. Before I can answer, shots are fired at us from ahead and I jump out from his arms. I run ahead. I give them a good smile.
" I'll take care of it. " they all stop behind me as I swing my sword vertically. " Heaven's Rift." I can't help but whisper it under my breath and I watch a the air it's self splits, sending the marines back screaming. Zoro gives me a proud, confident smirk and Luffy has stars in his eyes running up in front of me.
" SUGOI!!! Zoro You have a strong friend!" A shadow casts over us and a big bird. " LUFFY!!" A cute voice yells from on top the bird. " CHOPPER!!" Without a second thought, we all hop on without a second thought.
We're flown to their ship and they excited reunite with one another." OI!!!!" They scream back and forth until everyone is standing on their precious ship.I remember them clearly now from 2 years ago. this was the group that caused the admiral to show up. To think I'd meet the crew that started everything back then. I watch as they all fawn over one another before following the swordsman to her perching post.
Cannons are fired towards us and they rush to try to get away, all the while Kuja ship, another warlord distracts them. I watch her raw power, someone who stands on the same level as Mihawk as a war lord.
Luffy seems to recognize her her her as a friend. He goes one to explain how he meet the fine woman of the Kuja pirates. Sanji seems to be
having a breakdown but the long nose one sees to worry about something else as the rest of the crew leisurely prepares to set sail. Everything seems to be going their way.
A large bubble film starts to blow up around we are all tasked with releasing the sails. Essentially we are tasked with defending and preparing. No one seems to question why I'm here which I find quite strange. Maybe they are used to picking up strays and stragglers. WE all stand, ready to set sail. I feel his arm wrap around my waist. Luffy begins giving his speech before the ship begins to sink under the waves. He gives orders here and there everyone replying full heartedly happy. I can't help but smile watching everything unfold. Seems like it'll be a fun few years.
