.☘︎ ݁˖The Heart of the Straw Hat Crew.☘︎ ݁˖

---

With Usopp now a part of the crew, the Going Merry set sail once again. Luffy, excited to have a new crewmate, spent time chatting with Usopp about his skills and dreams. Zoro, observing from a distance, couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy. He didn't understand why he felt this way, but he tried to push the feeling aside.

As they sailed, they approached a floating restaurant known as Baratie. Before they could reach it, they encountered another pirate crew. Luffy, eager for a fight, clashed with the pirate captain while his girlfriend laughed at the scene.

Upon entering the restaurant, the crew was greeted by a lively and bustling atmosphere. Sanji, the sous-chef, was serving tables with his usual charm. He caught sight of a beautiful girl and couldn't help but perform his usual dance with heart-shaped eyes. However, his attention was soon drawn to a boy with black hair and a scar under his eye.

Sanji felt an unusual attraction to Luffy. Despite his usual preference for women, something about Luffy captivated him. Shaking off his confusion, Sanji approached their table to take their order.

"What can I get for you?" Sanji asked, trying to keep his composure.

After taking their order, Sanji added with a smile, "The meals for the lovely lady and the boy with a cute smile are on the house."

Usopp and Zoro exchanged shocked looks, protesting that it wasn't fair. Nami, simply thanked Sanji, while Luffy laughed heartily, oblivious to the tension.

During their meal, a man entered the restaurant, starving and on the brink of death. Sanji, despite the disapproval of the head chef Zeff, gave the man food. Luffy, impressed by Sanji's kindness, immediately asked him to join his crew. Sanji's heart skipped a beat, and he found himself flustered in Luffy's presence.

"I can't," Sanji stammered. "I have responsibilities here."

Luffy, however, was persistent. "You'll be an amazing addition to our crew! Come with us!"

with Sanji torn between his duties and the allure of adventure.

Their conversation was interrupted when the pirate captain, who had previously been fed by Sanji, returned with his crew to attack the restaurant. Luffy and Sanji fought side by side, defending Baratie from the attackers. Nami took advantage of the chaos to steal the Going Merry, leaving Luffy and the crew stranded.

Just as the battle reached its peak, a small raft appeared on the horizon. It was revealed to be Mihawk, a powerful swordsman known as Hawk-Eye, who had been mentioned during a conversation between the chefs and the pirate captain.

As Mihawk approached, he noticed Luffy and realized this was the boy Shanks had spoken about. Curious and intrigued, Mihawk decided to observe the events unfolding at Baratie. He was struck by Luffy's charm and determination, feelings that mirrored those of Shanks.

The rest of the storyline unfolded as usual, with Zoro challenging Mihawk to a duel and suffering a grave wound. Luffy was deeply worried for Zoro but was relieved when Mihawk spared his life, recognizing the swordsman's spirit.

With Sanji now officially a member of the crew, they set off to find Nami and the stolen ship. Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji formed a determined team, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

As they sailed, the bonds among the crew members grew stronger. Zoro's feelings for Luffy remained unspoken, but his loyalty was unwavering. Sanji, too, found himself drawn to Luffy's kindness, determined to protect his new captain.

The crew's next adventure awaited them, but with their newfound unity and determination, they were ready to face any obstacles in their path. The journey to find Nami and continue their quest for the One Piece was just beginning, and they were prepared to embrace the challenges with courage and friendship.

I won't continue the part where they get nami because it will be normal and they have crossed the grand line I will skip some of the arc or maybe some of the characters because it's either there is no ship with them or it's unnecessary
