What If...

Secret Omega

Sanji takes a deep breath, taking in the smell and pheromones of his crew. Well almost all his crew. Brook is just bones so he doesn't secrete any smells. The betas of the crew do smell but slightly and of course the omega smells. Sanji being an alpha can smell them all, and feels happy knowing his crew, his nakama, his pack are safe and happy.

Sanji twist his body to put the plate of snacks into the small elevator for the ladies in the aquarium. Enjoying the peace in between the islands. Usually something happens on the island. Not like they are safe on the open sea either but so for it's been quiet. Something they haven't had in a long time.

He then sets a tray of snacks for the others. Moving to deliver them to the others. First is Chopper, who doesn't have a second gender being born an animal. Then it's Franky and Usopp in their workshops, working on something with the captain bothering them like usual. Franky being an alpha, Usopp a beta and Luffy being an omega. An omega in the process of being courted by the captain of the Heart Pirates. Not getting too far as Luffy brothers are making it rather difficult for the man. Luffy is a rare omega, called a queen omega. Alphas have a hard time claiming them because they won't submit easily and are very dominate. Nami is a beta, while Robin is an alpha. And Brook was a beta. Something the crew doesn't know, is Sanji. He too is an alpha but a king alpha, more aggressive and protective of loved ones. Also harder to control. Only queen omega can calm him down. Luckily Luffy is there.

Alphas and omegas are rare, more so male omegas but they've met a few on the grandline: Ace being the most shocking. King alphas too, they've met many: Vivi, Law, Whitebeard, Marco, Kaido, Shanks, even Big mom, sad to say even Doflamingo. Luffy put him in his place. Even though they've meet so many king alphas, queen omegas are the most rare, even just seeing a male omega is not easy.

The last stop is Zoro. Sanji grits his teeth. Always hates going into the crows nest. It smells so much like him. Too much with the way he's the only one who's ever in there. His stench has soaked into the wood, the couch cushions, his weights, everything in that room. Zoro is a beta but for some reason his smell is a bit strong and too sweet. Like strawberry and kiwi, it usually would smell nice but for some reason Sanji doesn't like it and he doesn't know why. Zoro always smells like that when he's safe and content. When he's serious he smells like a crisp midnight evening in the forest, or when he's angry like burning incense. Sanji can only assume Zoro can tell his emotions too by scent, even though the man is a beta, they can vaguely smell pheromones. Though not accurately like alphas and omegas can.

There's been some confusion with Zoro second gender. At first they thought him an alpha. But he never went through a rut. With his sweet scent maybe omega but no heats. When he got tired of them trying to guess so he told them. He didn't even tell Chopper when he should have. He gave them the deadliest glare they've ever seen from him, as he warned them to knock it off. They don't talk about second genders anymore.

Sanji takes a deep breath, bracing himself before walking in. He walks in, biting his tongue at the way Zoro scent has gotten stronger. As if soaking into his skin. Is it because he is working out? His sweat making it more potent? Zoro turns to him, eyes watching him like a tiger on high alert. Quickly the blonde goes to the couch, setting the plate down with some juice specially made for after his workout. His alpha side couldn't help it. Ignoring those gray eyes Sanji quickly makes his way out of there. Happy when he makes his way back to the galley. He doesn't have to worry about those dishes, he knows Zoro will bring them down himself when he's done.

Sanji doesn't know why his alpha is so bothered by the swordsman's scent, can't fully ask anyone on the crew about it either. No one seems to care about his scent. The other betas seem to enjoy it. Even seem to be calmed by Zoro scent. Sanji feels unnerved by the scent. Zoro doesn't seem to know what his scent does to him, or he doesn't care.
