One Piece (Love Story) [Part Two]

Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty Three [Rewritten]

-Chapter Two Hundred and Sixty-Three-

"Alright, up next is Luffy!" Usopp suddenly announced, finally dragging my full attention over towards the three that were playing on the ship's swing. "Go!" he cheered as Luffy started to swing back and forth before finally, he jumped right off and smashed into the cabin wall.

"Pfft! What did you think was going to happen going at that fast of a speed?" I snorted.

"Awesome! It's a new record!" Usopp and Chopper cheered.

"Hey, you guys" Sanji frowned as he poked his head out of the kitchen. "If you got so much energy, catch me some octopus—I think the tree swing can take care of itself for a while" he said before his one visible eye turned into a heart as he trailed his gaze over towards Robin and me. "My darling Skylar, my sweet Robin, you both look so beautiful in those dresses! True masterpieces!" he swooned.

"Thanks, Sanji" I sweat dropped as Robin chuckled.

"Octopus!" Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper chanted, causing Sanji's attention to go straight back to them as he started to list off the many dishes he could prepare with octopus tonight if they just did as he asked.

"If all that sounds good to you, try to get the ingredients by dinner time" he finished.

"Yeah, sounds good! Sanji, can you make takoyaki too?" Luffy asked.

"Luffy, wipe your chin" I scolded as a large amount of drool started to messily overflow from the captain's mouth and down his chin. Softly, I huffed and smiled when I heard him mumble a small "sorry" while attempting to wipe the drool from his chin which only ended up being replaced by more drool.

"Takoyaki party!" Usopp and Chopper cheered.

"Of course, no problem" Sanji said, having no objections to making the three takoyaki tonight. "So grab a bunch of them" he waved, already shooing them them off before disappearing back into the kitchen.

"Alright!" Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper saluted.

"Shall we go see what Nami's doing?" Robin suddenly suggested as she finished tending to the last of her flowers. I took a moment to think, staring after Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper as I considered joining them in their escapade to catch tonight's before shaking my head.

"Yeah, sure" I shrugged, letting my gaze drift away from the three who were scrambling to get ready to go octopus hunting and back towards the raven-haired woman who now motioned for me to follow her as we headed down to the ship's aquarium.

"It's quite lively up there" Robin smiled as we could already hear three on deck start to get loud, their muffled feet stomping around as they shouted and laughed. I hummed as my gaze drifted toward the massive tank that spanned nearly the whole room, a small smile tugging at my lips as I watched the various fish inside peacefully swim around.

"Oh! Perfect timing, you two" Nami perked up as she looked up from the magazine in her hands. "Sanji made one for the both of you too" she said, motioning towards the tray of drinks.

"How kind" Robin smiled.

"Yeah, I guess he figured we'd be coming down here" I nodded, plopping down in the seat right beside Nami as I grabbed my drink. Almost instantly, a small conversation started between the three of us. Most of the conversation focused on clothes thanks to all the magazines Nami had spread out, but the occasional teasing would slip in as I'd find myself grumbling and pushing at the ginger anytime she looked at me with that playful grin of hers.

"What do you mean you haven't shown Zoro yet? That was the whole reason we got you the dress" she huffed

"You know damn well why I haven't shown him yet..." I grumbled as I sunk downward in my chair, hiding part of my reddened face behind the magazine I had been flipping through.
