Bon clay?

The fifth day since leaving drum island, the ship torturously continues on to Alabasta.

"Luffy! I thought I told you not to eat the bait!!" Usopp snapped at his captain who has ate the bait which was supposed to for catching the fishes. "If we don't have any bait, we can't catch anything!!"

"But you ate some."

"I only ate the stuff on the bottom of the lid!!"

A smooth sailing, really.

Alice after independently deciding that she will help Sanji and clean the storage room for restocking, walked down the deck, mildy enjoying how her brother and Usopp had tied Karoo as a bait before getting yelled at by Vivi. Letting out a mocking laugh at she walked away. She might or might not have got yelled by Usopp for laughing at them.

Opening the door, she as hit with the rotting stench of fruits. With her now dull senses, she ignored it and started to sort them through from good and bad, which wasn't that much because the only 'good' which was left were hardened bread.

She sweat dropped, 'Wow, we are poor', She thought before starting to push the boxes apart and clean the floor. Someone knocked on the door making her halt and turn her head back.

"Come in,"

Sanji popped his head inside and smiled at her.

"Hello there, little one. Busy?"

She smiled politely and nodded, turning back to cleaning the floor with the now dirty rag. "Cleaning to restock. This place stinks!" She exclaimed, cringing at the smell of the rag. Sanji chuckled and crouched beside her. "That was kind of you, I actually came here to do that myself. Thank you, love," He appreciated her work and ruffled her hair which was in a bun.

"Your welcome. You don't have to do this, you know? I'll ask others to help up next time." She suggested and beamed at him sweetly making him smile while squealing internally.

Gosh, so adorable!!

"Oh, we only have hard bread left, maybe we can use that before we reach. I'm sure everyone is hungry." She told making him nod. "That was all that was left?"

"Unfortunately, yes."

"Dang, that Luffy. Selfish bastard!"

"Ahaha! Luffy was always like this." She laughed it off unlike Sanji who was still upset over Luffy's abnormal appetite's consequences.

"I sometimes wonder how you survived with a person whose appetite takes up for 10 people."

They continued talking and cleaning up for a while, ignoring all the yelling and thuds, knowing all too well that it wasn't that important anyway.

"Guess that was it," Alice huffed with furrowed brows, watching as Sanji picked up the rag with two fingers and covering his nose and held it away from himself. "Ugh! This is disgusting!!"

"Tell me about it. That is worse then a sock used for a year mixed with rotten fruit!"

"Weirdly accurate description."

When they walked out covered in disgusting smell, they maintained their distance with the crew who appeared to arguing. Alice pointed towards the ship to Sanji, which was sailing a little further from their own ship.

"Well, that's weird." Sanji commented and took out a cigar but stuffed it back inside when Alice eyed it, placing a hand on her head. She smiled and held his hand because...well, because she wanted to.

"Sanji! Alice!" Vivi called out once she noticed the two, making everyone turn to them. Chopper grinned happily and ran towards Alice but stopped at the stench.
