     "Sanji!" a childish voice yells. "I want my meat!"

It has been two weeks since the Straw Hat Pirates defeated Kaido and his Zoan army. Yet, you wouldn't be able to tell they were the ones who did. If it weren't for the pirate flag hoisted high and proud, along with their sail, you would think that they were a group of friends vacationing on the North Blue.

Zoro, as usual, was sleeping. He cuddled his three swords as he snored, as if he was holding a teddy bear. A very lethal teddy bear.

Usopp and Chopper were helping Franky build a hang glider, in case there needed to be a safer escape method. Nami was drawing maps of Dressrosa and Punk Hazard, based on her memory and the crew's. She knew better not to ask Zoro. Robin was reading a book on the North Blue while Brook was tuning his guitar.

Luffy was hungry for more of the spiced ribs Sanji had cooked for lunch. Yet the cook ignored him, saying he had already stolen too much.

""Twenty isn't that much," thought Luffy. "Too much would be thirty, no forty, no fifty pieces!" He began to drool at the thought. His daydream was interrupted when Sanji finally walked out of the kitchen, holding two glasses in a tray.

"Oi, Sanji! Luffy called. He ran over to the chef, who only sighed, "Luffy," he said. "It's almost lunchtime anyways, so you'll get your meat soon." "Really?" Luffy squealed. "Okay then, I'll wait!" He shouted, and then left.

Sanji approached the girls, and gave them orange flavored cocktails. "Arigatou Sanji," thanked Robin. "It's delicious, Sanji-kun!" exclaims Nami. "No problem, my ladies!" he replied, anime hearts popping into his eyes.

Nami looked at her log pose, and then gasped. "Usopp!" she called out to the long nosed man. "Can you see the next island?"

Usopp adjusted his sniper goggles, and then peered into the distance.

"Yeah Nami, I see it!" he answered. He looked closer. "There's a really huge castle there, too!"

"Did someone say island?" Luffy's stomach was stuffed, and in his mouth were the last pieces of ribs."

"Luffy!" Sanji screamed. "Don't tell me you ate it all!"

"You said it was almost lunchtime, so all I did is to get a head start. Luffy muffled through the chunks of food. He swallowed, and then let out a happy sigh. "That was delicious!"

KICK!

Luffy flew across the Thousand Sunny, and landed next to Chopper, almost breaking the crafted hand glider. A large bump was on his head.

"Next time, wait for a full five minutes." growled Sanji. "Gomenesai~" mumbled Luffy.

"Oh yeah, are we headed for an island?" asked Luffy. He sat up, and laughed "I can't wait." He clearly got over the kick Sanji delivered to him, along with the lecture.

"Shit," Sanji cursed. "I knew I should have bought another lock for the kitchen." He lit a cigarette, trying to ignore the aching pain that lingered in his leg. With all the fighting that had happened for the past month, his legs never got the proper time to heal. But it was nothing. Sanji couldn't let his problems become a setback for the crew. Besides, they had already defeated one of the Yonko. What else could possibly happen?

"Don't worry." Nami's voice drifted him from his thoughts. "We can always by food from the island, she suggested. Everyone had to put up with Luffy's eating antics. Back in Water Seven, Luffy had used up all the money she had hoarded for furniture to put in Sunny, back when she was wasn't built.

"Brilliant idea, Nami-swan!" Sanji swelled up in his happiness.

"Yosh!" Luffy stretched his arm out, and grabbed Sunny's head. He landed and sat there, with a huge grin on his face. "Time for adventure!"

As the ship sailed closer to the island, the place came more into view. Sanji stared at the castle in the distance. He couldn't help but think it was something familiar.

"Where have I seen that before?" he asked himself.
