Sanji turned into a neko!?...(ZOSAN)

The Beginning...

The Straw Hat Pirates were sailing peacefully toward their next destination. Luffy sat excitedly on Sunny's lion-shaped figurehead, gazing out at the sea. Nami stood near the helm, checking the Log Pose for their route. Brook strummed a cheerful tune on his violin. Robin sat in a shaded chair, quietly reading a book. Zoro lay on the grassy lawn, arms folded behind his head, peacefully dozing. Chopper was at his workstation, scribbling notes from his medical research. Usopp and Franky were busy assembling a new invention for the ship.

Meanwhile, Sanji was in the kitchen, preparing snacks for the crew.

Suddenly—

Luffy: "NAMI! HOW LONG TILL THE NEXT ISLANDDDDDDDD!?!?"
(Of course, the Captain was the most impatient one on board.)

Nami: "Can you wait like... three or four more hours?!"

Luffy: "EHHH?! THAT LONG!? SANJIIII! FOOD!!"

A few moments later, Sanji emerged from the kitchen, carrying a tray of snacks. He gracefully handed them out to the crew.

Sanji: "UWAHH~ NAMI-SWAN, ROBIN-CHWAN! I've prepared a special dessert just for you~ ♥️"

Nami: "Thank you, Sanji-kun."
Robin: "Thank you, Cook-san." (She gave him a gentle smile.)

Sanji twirled back toward the kitchen, hearts floating in his mind at the memory of Robin's smile. As he passed the grassy area, he noticed Zoro fast asleep. But rather than disturb him, Sanji figured he was just tired from his intense training—and let him rest.

3 to 4 Hours Later...

The ship finally arrived at the next island.

Most of the crew quickly disembarked to explore and buy supplies, leaving Zoro and Sanji behind to watch the ship. Once the others were gone, Sanji approached the sleeping swordsman.

Sanji: "Oi, marimo. Wake up—we've reached the island."

Zoro stirred, stretching his arms as he slowly sat up, eyes scanning the deck.

Zoro: "Where are the others?"

Sanji: "They went shopping." (He lit a cigarette casually.)

Zoro: "So they left us to guard the ship?"

Sanji: "Not us. You're awake now. I need to go find ingredients."
(With that, Sanji hopped off the Sunny, waving over his shoulder.)

Sanji: "Take care of the ship."

Zoro didn't mind being left alone. In fact, he preferred the quiet.

Meanwhile...

As Sanji walked through the bustling market, inspecting fruits and vegetables, something—or rather someone—caught his eye. A mysterious, elegant silhouette walking just beyond the crowd. Of course, being Sanji, he couldn't resist. He immediately followed.

His feet led him deeper into a shadowy alleyway. Suddenly, a sultry voice echoed from behind.

???: "Why, hello there~"
