Sanji's heart beat in his ears as the dark look on Luffy's face remained. He was scared, worried in fact, that Sanji and her would get thrown off the ship. To drown in the ocean blue. Or worse. Just throw Loulee out at sea.

But Luffy would never do that.

Would he?

"Luffy. It's my fault. I was the one who snuck her aboard. I just couldn't leave her. And I-"

Zoro drew his sword before pointing it at Luffy. Sanji's eyes widened.

What is he doing? What's going on?

"As my captain," Zoro spoke, "I will take responsibility for my husband's actions."

He pierced the ground with his sword and knelt down before it. He hung his head.

"As punishment for bringing a stow away, you can cut my head off." Zoro said.

Now he's just being overdramatic.

Luffy blinked pushing back his head, "Kill you? I was just gonna ask if she was the one. Who's making my breakfast take so long."

Zoro and Sanji looked to him with the most confused look on there faces.

Breakfast? But, they brought someone aboard the ship. Without his consent.

Luffy looked to the girl and remembered Zoro's story he told him the other day. He smiled putting his hands on his hips.

"She can stay, a friend of Sanji's is a friend of mine." Luffy grinned.

Sanji lit up before getting up and embracing him. Luffy chuckled hugging him back. Zoro sighed in relief putting his sword back on his hip. He watched Sanji bubble about how happy he was and would make him a special snack. Luffy's eyes widened as did the smile on his face. He laughed wrapping his arms around his body a few times. Zoro chuckled as he watched Sanji struggle in his death grip.

"Luffy you're going to kill him before you get your breakfast." Zoro grunted.

Luffy gasped before letting go. Sanji and him soon left before Zoro turned to Loulee. He smiled softly before approaching her. Kneeling down he took her small and brushing his thumb over her small hand.

"Get better soon, we're gonna have you stay for a long time."

Loulee smiled softly before her smile faded. He glanced around before kissing her cheek and stepped away. Loulee cracked an eye open as Zoro walked out of the room. She smiled before going back to sleep.

Sanji began breakfast once again. Zoro sat at the table downing a bottle of booze. Sanji's eye caught Zoro who was downing the bottle.

"You better put that down."

"Why? I did save the kid."

"No, you were being over dramatic like always."

"When have I been over dramatic?"

"Zoro, your body is littered in over dramatic scars. Like your ankles. And your eye."

"Hey! There was something in my eye and I couldn't get it out."

"Oh and how well did that work out?"

"If you can fight with one eye! So can I!"

Sanji brushed his bangs behind his ear showing both of his eyes.

"I still have my eyes."

Zoro pursed his lips, before getting up. Sanji untucked his hair letting it fall back into place. Zoro approached him wrapping his arms around his hips. Sanji glanced to him before back to the food. He smirked slightly before kissing his neck. A tingle ran down Sanji's back.

"Zo-Zoro. I'm cooking."

"Then by all means, continue. I'm busy here myself."

Zoro pulled his collar down a bit. His lips pecked and pressed on his slowly heating skin.

"Zoro." Sanji grunted.

Sanji whipped around in his arms gripping his chin.

"Stop. I have to prepare a feast when Loulee wakes up. So why don't you go check on her."

Zoro frowned, "You're unfun."

Sanji kissed him softly before patting his cheek, "Thank you dear."

He grunted walking out of the kitchen. He pulled his bottle out of his haramaki.

"So. You smuggled a kid on the ship hm?"

He turned to Robin, "Yeah. Well Sanji did."

"Can you handle that responsibility? Of a child?"

"I mean I do with Luffy."

Robin chuckled, "Well, if it's something you and cook-san wanted. She's getting a bath right now. Nami and her are bonding."

"She's awake?"

"Yes, after you left."

Zoro turned to the bathroom before going into the kitchen.

"She's awake. And bonding with the crew."

Sanji smiled, "Well breakfast is ready."

Luffy tackled Zoro into the room before bolting into the kitchen. Zoro caught his wrist before he yanked him back. Luffy grinned to him as Zoro dropped him on the floor.

"Sorry sorry Zoro." Luffy chuckled.

Then went to get his plate. Zoro followed after as did the rest of the crew. Nami was the last to enter the room. She giggled shutting the door and stood before it. Sanji and Zoro sat next to each other eating. While holding hands under the table.

"I'd like to introduce our newest member!"

They turned to Nami who smiled, "Loulee!"

She opened the door as Loulee stood in a girl's dress and her hair cut. Her bangs fell just a bit over her eyebrows. As her hair was just shy of her shoulder. She smiled to Zoro and Sanji who was stunned. Loulee looked to Nami and smiled before heading into the room. Sanji was the first to get up and embrace her. He pulled back with tears in his eyes.

"Welcome home, Loulee."
