TMATP (Zosan) Sequel

Chapter 18

Sanji was frozen in shock at what Zoro said. Guilt nawing at him

'Is this how he feels?'

"Zoro, I um, I didn't uh.." he didn't know how to respond to that

Zoro sighed shaking his head "It just came out, listen, later 'kay? We got a captain to save"

Sanji nodded and turned back to look at the mirror in the center of the town and just in time as Luffy came out

Like lightning they worked fast and made it too their captain's side. Zoro blocking a sword that was aimed at Luffy

Then they began their escape. Sanji began skywalking and Zoro just ran and would meet him at the port. Sanji was capable of carrying them both but someone had to counter the attacks against them

Sanji swiftly dodged an attack to the head kicking the guy away. Soon he and Zoro were back to back. Enemies surrounding them and Luffy asleep in Sanji's arms. Let's just say this wasn't an ideal situation. Zoro took out all three of his swords, at the ready

Sanji was thinking of what to do. He could skywalk them out of here but that would leave them vulnerable

He then heard something from above. He looked up and

"What the hell?"

There was a blinding light as something, or more precisely, someone, landed. As the light dimmed Sanji was able to see clearer and to say he was shocked was an understatement. Surrounding them were, Reiju, Ichiji, Niji and Yonji, Sanji's oh so dearest siblings. They formed a human (to be honest their not that human) shield around the straw hats as they were shot with bullets. The bullets, not even fazing them. But what had Sanji surprised was that they were saving them? Weird

"Germa? You guys are supposed to be dead" Oven said confused and irritated. They sent an army to get them after the failure at the wedding. Why were they standing in front of him, alive?

"Oh you mean those flies you sent, well we swatted them away" Ichiji said with a hint of mockery

Oven got even more agitated "Whatever. Guess we'll deal with you hear" he said as he readied an attack

"Oi failure" Ichiji addressed Sanji, without turning to him "Get out of here"

Without a second thought Sanji stuck Luffy under an arm and his other arm wrapped around Zoro's waist, Zoro placed an arm 'round Sanji's neck, to be more secure, then Sanji launched off with a powerful jump. His siblings were protecting him as he made his escape, occasionally giving a boost

Honestly these niggas be pulling moves like they be the fucking Power Rangers

*clears throat*

I mean, they were handling themselves pretty good. Sanji was so close. He then felt a hand at his back he turned his head, Zoro also turning

"Reiju"

She smiled at her little brother

"Don't let these guys go" she said before pushing him

A sense of nostalgia passed. It was just like 13 years ago when she pushed him to go, to leave as he ran, tears streaming down his face. She can still remember the day. It made her feel sad but never regret, never regret that her brother finally escaped the torment. Her little brother. He's grown so much. He found what she always wanted him to find; a true family, true friends and apparently someone who means more than a friend, someone he wants to spend the rest of his life with. He's free and more importantly, happy. He's truly happy. That's all she's ever wanted

She cried as she flew away from him. The tears stopping moments later

Sanji kept going, didn't look back. That's what Reiju wanted him to do

After a while of skywalking, Sanji finally descended on the ship. Zoro let go as Chopper quickly rushed to check on Luffy

Now all they had to do was leave Big Mom's territory but unfortunately, and unsurprisingly, that wasn't easy as they had a lot of ships coming after them

Jimbe's crew came to help as they slowed down and destroyed a couple of ships. Jimbe made a promise to Luffy, who was now awake, that he would meet them at Wano, he had to help his former crew, seeing he was now a straw hat he asked permission from his captain and Luffy accepted

Germa, surprisingly, came to help. Whether it was to settle their own vendetta with Big Mom or to not owe Sanji, probably a mixture of both. They blocked and attacked the ship

The Sunny was sailing pass the main Germa ship which had a castle. The Sunny could be referred to an ant when compared to the ship

Atop stood Vinsmoke Judge, who glowered down at them, well at Sanji. Sanji maintained his stance as he looked back at him with as much as, probably evsn more, distaste Judge looked at him with. There was silence and seconds felt like hours. Sanji was getting agitated just seeing him. Judge finally broke the silence

"Tell me, Mugiwara!!" he bellowed, getting the attention of Luffy

Luffy turned from Miya, who was sitting next to him, to Judge though his eyes were a liitle droopy

"Why would you risk your life for him?" Judge spat out. Sanji no longer making eye contact "He's Germa's failure, you know. The existing blemish in our family. His skin isn't bulletproof, he gets tired. Not to mention he's soft-minded and can easily be won over by a sob story" he said making reference to Pudding

Luffy nodded and Miya whispered to him "is he done or?". Luffy shrugged

"He  has no respect for his royal status and decides to be in the kitchen to cook. He's useless. I hope you realise you risked everything to get back that piece of trash"

He ended it, staring down at Luffy. Sanji's gaze was cast down, hands in his pockets

Luffy puffed out a breath

"Okay bye. Thanks for the help"

Judge was caught off guard. That wasn't the reaction he was expecting

Luffy leaned back on Miya's chest with a confused expression

"Woah. That was strange. Why did he start saying all those good things about you?"

Sanji turned to him snapped out of his daze "That's not how he meant it"

"Huh?"

Miya couldn't contain it and started laughing, Brook soon followed, then Robin, then Usopp, then Franky, then Chopper, then Nami, heck, even Zoro let out a low chuckle. Eventually Sanji gave in and chuckled to. The crews' laughter filled the atmosphere around them with warmness and comfort as they made they're way out of Big Mom's territory

And they sailed into the sunset, the end.

Sike, this ain't no fairy tale. There is more to come
