We couldn't believe Luffy's new bounty. Yeah sure, Luffy will become the next pirate king and be well-known around the world but his bounty... the newspaper even went as far as calling him the Fifth Emporer of the Sea. It is like Luffy's dream is finally starting to take on a bigger shape. Our captain's dream will come true.
Luffy was laying on his special seat, Nami was drawing her maps from Whole Cake Islands, and Chopper and Carrot were on the upper deck listening to Brook play his violin.
Sanji and I were currently laying on my bed cuddling in the girls' room. Nami allowed it this one time so we can talk in private and because she understood I didn't want to be in the stinky guy's room. Sanji finally opened up to me and told me his past life...
The Vinsmoke Family is a royal bloodline that rules the Germa Kingdom and former rulers of the North Blue. They are also powerful and infamous in the underworld of mercenaries (although Pekoms already explained that to us). His siblings and himself were experimented on and genetically modified. He was the only one that came out normal making Judge see him as a "failure."
From Sanji's "failed" tests he was starting to get mistreated by his father and siblings, even more so when his mother died. He was locked up and abandoned. It didn't last for too long though when they went over the Redline and into the East Blue. It was there when his sister helped him escape on a cruise. From then on out it was the life of Sanji I knew.
"I can't begin to imagine the pain you suffered Sanji," I cuddled into him a little bit more hearing his heartbeat quicken a little. "But there's no way you are a failure. You are an amazing chef that captures people with your cooking. You are also the kindest person I've ever met in my entire life!"
"(Y/N)..."
"You've left your past behind, Sanji. You've grown strong and now you live a beautiful life serving people with that smile and hands of yours," I smiled up to him and kissed his forehead.
"(Y/N)!" Sanji broke out into tears. "P-Please be my girlfriend!!" He shot up from the bed grabbing both my hands and holding them. I saw the fire in his eyes and chuckled a little.
"Yes, I will be your girlfriend," Sanji moved his right hand to my left cheek and leaned in for a kiss. I didn't hesitate and kissed him back.
"Is my dream really happing?! Please tell me it's real!" Sanji cheered.
"I thought your dream was the All Blue?" I asked him and he instantly replied with:
"People can have more than one dream, I just happened to achieve my main one," My face went hot from embarrassment.
"W-Well..." I stumbled on my words. 'He has a way with words sometimes'
"(Y/N) you are so adorable!" He laid back down next to me bringing me in for more cuddles.
"Sanji"
"Yes, (Y/N)~"
"Did you really think our captain wouldn't have gone to get you?" Sanji stayed silent for a while.
"No. No, I didn't but I wished he never came looking for me. Well... deep down I really wanted to come back to the Sunny... to you..." Once again my face exploded with hotness.
"W-well, I can't blame you," I looked away already getting embarrassed about what I'm about to say, "At one point I really thought you would be happier there marrying Pudding who is so beautiful... but I also didn't want to let you go..."
"(Y/N)!♡ Was that a proposal?!"
"No! You dummy!" I softly hit his head. "If one day, by chance I propose to you... I will have a ring in my hand," I covered my face by burying it in his chest.
"Ah~ Too adorable! My princess!" When he said the nickname he gave me and I peeked up at him.
"And what's the deal with calling me 'princess' is it because you are a prince?"
"Mmm, maybe?" He then looked down and smirked at me. "You were the one saying I wasn't a prince,"
"T-that was because I thought you were a regular chef!" 'Why I am always getting embarrassed by him!' "I was also annoyed by all your flirting the first time we met! I thought you were a player!" I saw his spirit leave him.
"(Y-Y/N) that was mean..."
"It is the truth though!" I pouted and look away. "You can't be flirting with whoever and whenever you want now, b-because you are mine,"
"Anything for you~" Sanji smiled at me then looked away with redness on his cheeks. "And if there's anything that displeases you... tell me so I can better myself for you..."
"Mmm, ok! I will!" I smiled at him. "Oh! By the way, did you enjoy baking the cake?"
"Yes, I did! It was such a beautiful design and..." Sanji explained the steps he needed to do and the ingredients he used while smiling about it. 'He's too cute when he talks about cooking or baking... Anything about food'
After a while, we layed there in silence enjoying each other's presence. I however was taking in his appearance and the small things I've never noticed before. Like the old tiny scars on his fingers, most likely from accidentally cutting himself. And how he had dark circles from not sleeping as much. 'Rest up Sanji...'

"The love birds finally came out~" Nami teased us when we exited the room. "Did you guys finally make it official?"
"Y-yeah," Sanji reached out and grabbed my hand smiling softly at me.
"Yes, (Y/N) is finally mine~♡" 'He's definitely in a good mood'
"Aw, congrats!" Carrot hugged me.
"Yohohoho! Congratulations, (Y/N)-san! Sanji-san!" Brook cheered for us and Sanji turned his head sharply towards him. "(Y/N)-san... May I see-"
"AND THAT MEANS YOU CAN'T ASK TO SEE HER UNDERWEAR!" Sanji snapped at him. "Only I can as-"
"NO, IT DOESN'T!" Nami kicked Sanji then Brook. "W-well I guess you can..." Her cheeks were a little pink.
"(Y/N)! Does that make you Ms. Vinsmoke?" Chopper jumped into my arms and my face exploded from embarrassment.
"No, that's when we get married,"
"She's not getting Vinsmoke for her last name," Sanji was instantly by my side with a small bump on top of his head. "I'll take hers if anything. I don't want her associated with that name!"
"Sanji! Are you having a kid now? Shishishi," Luffy asked chuckling.
"Maybe not right now..." "YES! We are!" Sanji and I looked at each other from our different responses.
"We'll talk about it, Luffy," I told him.
"Well, you guys came out at a good time," Nami looked around as the wind was getting colder and the waves stronger. "We are getting close to Wano!"
"ALRIGHT! To the Land of Wano!" Our next adventure is around the corner and I can't wait to celebrate with everyone else...Land of Wano here we come!
