Get me off this island fr Pt.11
!!!WHOLE CAKE ISLAND SPOILERS!!!
A/N- I just want to say I love Big Mom's whole character design. I frickin love that everybody calls her Mama in her family, the amount of times i wanted to type Mama instead of Big Mom lmao. I even called my own mom, Mama, at the store because of this dam show. It's so cute tho like i can't. This chapter is also Sanji centered lowkey.
I added some platonic moments with the reader and Pudding. That girl has some issues because of her mother. Also like finding out that Pudding is like 16... Oda, what are we doing? This poor girl, the older I get, the more I yearn for women to just be happy and live in some piece even if its a one piece character.
Warning- SLOWPACED, fluff, sum smoking, violence???
Straw Hat reader. Strawhats x reader, Sanji x reader
!!!Sorry for any grammar errors!!!
In the distance, faint screams from Whole Cakes city catch your ear as you run alongside your crewmates.
“We’ve got to get off this island.” You announce, glancing over your shoulder, seeing a dust cloud settling around the city.
“Don’t worry, I know a way! If we cut through the seducing woods, the Sunny should be on the other side!” Nami points towards the forest up ahead
“Really? After last time?” You question, turning to the navigator riding on Jimbei’s back
“Yeah, it will be fine!” Nami replies, waving a hand for you to relax as we near the treeline
“It did kinda suck last time,” Luffy adds
“What happened last time?” Sanji jumps in running to your left
“Too much.” You huff, shaking your head at the troubles the forest had given you all.
“Hey. Do you see that?” Nami questions out loud, making you scan the open field.
A large tree is standing in the distance near a smaller one. A tree with a smooth head, no branches in sight
“It’s Kingbuam!” You grin, seeing the tree standing.
The last time you saw him, you were sure he was gone. Kingbuam is now stitched back together.
“And he has a friend?” You point out taking in the couple as the group approaches him.
“Kingbuam! I thought you were dead! I’m so happy!” Nami calls out from atop Jimbei. Waving at the tree with one hand, the other wiping a tear.
“It’s good to see you, Tree! Lucky us!” Luffy calls out happily from behind you.
With our calls, Kingbuam faces us. Terror fell over his face as he realized who was calling him.
Luffy’s arm stretches past your head, grabbing hold of the top of Kingbuam’s trunk, seeing your captain zip past you, landing perfectly onto the tree.
He turns, pulling his arm back before sending it in your direction. Halting mid run, his arm wraps around your body.
Arms tight to your side as he yanks you onto the tree beside him.
“Luffy!” Letting out a yelp as the wind rushes past you. Feeling your feet on the trunk, you let out a breath.
“Warnings are always nice.” You sigh to your captain as the rest of the crew hops onto Kingbuam as well
“Yeah, but it’s more fun that way!” Luffy grins back at you, releasing you
Shaking your head at him, you both easily get distracted by the crew
“Keep going straight!” Nami’s command falls upon your ear, making you turn to her. A piece of paper in her hand
“How do you have that?” You ask.
Certain you had seen one of Big Mom’s daughters take the vivre card from her right in front of you
“I split it into two before they took it!” Nami chirps with a proud smirk
“Thought so. Now, we can just cut right through.” You say, pointing at the paper between her fingers. A satisfied smile on both of your faces
“Look behind us! We got enemies!” Carrots exclaims, looking at the crowd of chess knights following behind.
Gaining speed as we shout at Kingbuam to pick up the pace. As you examine the army following behind, a dark shadow darts through the air. A laugh rings through the open field as the figure darts around.
“I know that laugh!” Sanji grunts, his body tensing up
“It’s Big Mom!” You gasp as her pink hair appears from atop the cloud, Zeus.
“I see. She wants to fight!” Luffy huffs, winding his arm
“You can’t win this.” Jimbei shuts down our stubborn captain as he glares at the emperor chasing us
Worried shouts leave the group’s mouth.
Your feet felt stuck to the trunk underneath you as the woman got closer. Nothing but rage behind her eyes, screaming about cake.
“THE SPEAR OF ELBAF SHALL PIERCE YOU!” Big Mom shouts
“Huh?” You hum along with Sanji and Luffy at the name. Elbaf, as in the land of the giants? Why would she have that?
Yeah, Big Mom was a taller woman, but you hadn’t heard anything about her being an actual giant. Eyebrows knitting together, not able to put the pieces together, still very confused.
“Everybody get ready.” Jimbei’s voice instructs from your left
Watching as Big Mom’s arms lifted over her shoulder. Her blade held high, gaining momentum as it dropped.
“IKOKU!” Her voice echoes as a bright pink light comes from the sword.
Heading right toward you all. Eyes squinting as the bright light invades your line of sight. A strong gust of wind hits you. Making you topple slightly.
Thinking quickly, you move your hand, growing vines that wrap around your calves. Securing you in place as the wind picks up
The slice cutting through the side of Kingbuam only getting a thin slice of him. Hearing your group’s scream, you see Nami going over the edge of the tree.
Raising an arm in her direction, another vine grows, catching her before she hits the ground.
As the wind passes, you walk over to the edge. Bringing the girl back onto Kingbuam
“Thank you!” Nami lets out a relieved breath, hugging you tight.
You only smile at the woman squeezing you tightly. The navigator had always been more physical when it came to showing appreciation to you, Robin, and Chopper. You learned it’s best to let her have her way.
Allowing her to show her thanks, she pulls away. Sending the younger woman a nod with a smile on your face, accepting her words.
Hearing more shouts, Big Mom was getting ready to send another slice your way
Trying to think of a way to help you hear the navigators shout
“BLACK BALL!” Nami calls out as small thunder clouds float up toward Big Mom
The emperor was mid swing one second, the next she was heading face first toward the ground.
The cloud carrying Big Mom gets distracted by the thunderclouds made by Nami. Completely dismissing Big Mom as she misses her shot.
“Lighting loves other lighting!” Nami explains with a smile
“Makes sense.” You mutter, staring in shock.
Big Mom was face first on the ground. The sun infused with her soul hovers above her figure. It was a pleasant surprise to see such a famous emperor on the floor.
“Once we reach the woods, we’ll have an advantage with Kingbuam after all.” Nami grins as the tree line opens up to Kingbuam’s calls
The trees quickly move out of the way, leaving a clear shot with nothing blocking our path.
“Now that's handy.” Pedro says as Carrot giggles at the tree’s actions
“I can see the Sunny!” You lift your hand, pointing ahead at the ship in the near distance
“We are almost there!” Carrot smiles, looking out at the ocean
“We should be fine as long as we keep Zeus distracted.” Jimbei explains as the cloud follows closely
“That’s me! Could I get more of those thunder clouds?” He smiles, licking his lips.
“Huh? The black balls?” Nami questions as you stand beside Luffy, examining the large cloud
“Forget about eating, let us ride you first!” Your captain chimes in
“I can’t. Only Mama can since I’m infused with her soul.” Zeus replies
“That’s lame. Cloud, you suck” Luffy huffs
“He’s pretty cute.” You smile, poking a finger into the cloud. The texture of the cloud was interesting and had a slightly colder feeling to it
“Mhm! Cute enough to become my servant? What do you say? Then you can have thunder clouds every day!” Nami suggests with a grin
The girl fills the cloud with compliments when a loud crash is heard from behind the cloud. As Zeus moves to turn. Audible gasps are heard upon seeing Big Mom
“We should go. Like right now.” You break the silence, crouching down to the edge to inform Kingbuam
“You need to move, she’s coming!” You shout down to the tree. His pace quickens as you stand back up
“She looks pissed!” Luffy says, voice wavering slightly as the woman stands up.
Kingbuam pushes through the trees, now attempting to block the path.
“I’M COMIN’ LADY TREE!” Kingbuam shouts, hitting many other Homies on his way through. The ride becomes bumpy as he pushes through the crowd
Trees, cakes, flowers, you name it, had faces. Jumping toward us, trying to attack. Grunting at the Homies, your sword grows into your hand.
Wasting no time, leaping toward them, cutting through a tree easily. Pushing off that one to repeat the same with the others, attacking. Everybody working to fight off the threatening Homies
Landing back on top of Kingbuam, your sword fades. Sanji lets out a grunt as he lands to your right.
Digging around in his pocket, pulling out two cigarettes from his box. Placing them between his lips, he searches for his lighter.
You peer over at Pedro’s paw, reaching out, an electric current coming from between his thumb and pointer finger
The cook leans down, lighting the two sticks. Hands cupping around Pedro’s, blocking any wind.
Pulling away, Sanji was the first to speak
“That’s convenient.” Sanji compliments, pulling one of the cigarettes from between his lips
“It is.” Pedro replies, clearing his throat before continuing
“Two?” The mink points out the two cigarettes. Sanji’s attention turns to you instead, with the cigarette held out. Smiling, you take the stick, popping it between your lips, inhaling.
Leaning forward slightly to send Pedro a satisfied smirk.
“I see.” Pedro hums in return a similar smirk to yours on his face, looking between you and Sanji.
“Round two?” He suggests, earning a nod from you
“Always.” Sanji answers, taking a stance to fight some more.
Feeling an uncomfortable heat suddenly coming from behind you. The two guys next to you taking notice as well.
Turning around, a large flame hovers above us, its bright light making you squint. Prometheus, the sun infused with Big Mom’s soul, grinned down on us. The heat was becoming almost unbearable. Sweat is forming on your face already
“What do we do?” Carrot pipes up
“We gotta move, Kingbuam!” Nami instructs the tree, and the bark underneath shivers in return.
“Let’s go! He can’t move!” Luffy orders as the flame gets closer
Ditching the cigarette you begin to move. Following the group quickly jumping onto the ground, running toward the surrounding trees. Before reaching the forest, you spin around as Kingbuam’s scream rings in your ears.
Nami and you stop not too far from the tree. The heat pricking at your skin, watching the tree’s branches shrink to the flame
“KINGBUAM! MOVE!” You shout at the frozen tree beside Nami
“RUN AWAY!” The navigator shouts
“You need to get away! He’ll burn you two as well!” Pedro’s voice calls from further back. His calls blend with your crewmates
Looking back at them, catching their worried faces. You face back to the tree, Prometheus is heading straight for him.
Noticing how hot it was getting, you let out a grunt, wrapping your arms around Nami’s waist. Lifting her, trying to get her further away.
“KINGBUAM!” Nami's voice shrieks as an explosion sounds from behind. A strong wind pushes you forward with the navigator in your arms.
The air gets knocked from your lungs as you hit the floor. Feeling the rough ground scrape against your arms. Holding the girl close, protecting her as the heat rushes by.
Feeling your back collide with a tree. As the crash settles down, you release your arms from Nami. Practically wheezing, attempting to recover you roll onto your knees and hands. Taking in deep breaths
Nami had been quick to her knees, trying to stand now free.
“KINGBUAM!” Nami cries, running toward the burning flame now standing tall where Kingbuam once was
“Nami, don’t!” You yelp, sitting up quickly. Sanji grabs her arm, stopping her from moving.
Once she shows signs of not moving, he lets her go, turning to you. Offering a hand with a warm smile, as always
“Careful.” He reminds you, pulling you off the ground
As soon as you could stand, Sanji was dragging you through the forest with the rest of the crew. Big Mom’s footsteps grew louder behind us.
“She won’t stop until her craving is fulfilled. Until then, no one is safe! She’s unreachable in this state!” Jimbei explains the woman’s rampage
“So she wants cake?” You comment, jogging alongside the fishman
“It seems so. She didn’t get a bite at the wedding.” Jimbei answers as he launches forward, punching an attacking tree into small pieces
“You see, you shouldn’t have ruined it for her!” Nami scolds Luffy running at the front of the group
“I pulled it off, though, and at least I got some yummy cake!” Luffy says cheerfully
“You were eating it mid fight?!” Sanji shouts, getting upset with the boy
“It was yummy!” Carrot giggles
“Let’s focus on getting out of this creepy forest!” You interrupt the crew as more of Big Mom’s homies appear to block our path.
The crew quickly breaks through the blocking trees, a donut bridge appears in the distance.
“We saw that bridge earlier!” Carrot points out
“Yeah, but didn’t it break?” You comment confused as the crew continues ahead. No time to stop with Big Mom right on our heels.
“It did, but we have no other choice!” Nami winces
Your legs burned from running, listening as Jimbei and Nami try to form some type of plan. The navigator leaves thunder clouds trailing as Zeus follows.
“GET BACK HERE, ZUES, RIGHT NOW!” Big Mom’s voice made the ground tremor. Or maybe that was chills running through your body at her shout
Glancing over your shoulder, you see the woman’s face twisted in anger. Furious with the cloud
“I’m in big trouble!” Zeus whines
“Hey, Zeus! Why aren’t you listening to Mama?!” Prometheus, the sun says, appearing next to the cloud. The two acting like brothers
Grunting at the heat radiating from the sun, you pick up the pace, as Nami continues to bait Zeus away from Big Mom.
Luffy attempted to attack Prometheus, but his hits weren’t able to land. As the sun grows bigger, ready to attack us. A green liquid flies by, making a hole in Prometheus.
Looking back at Jimbei now in the watermelon river, in one of his signature stances.
Understanding what he was doing, the group crossed over the bridge quickly while Jimbei held off Prometheus.
After coming across more of Big Mom’s family in the forest, the group worked to fight them off.
In the process, Zeus managed to charge up into a large storm cloud now in Big Mom’s control. Nami was able to successfully eliminate the storm. Creating a lightning strike strong enough to hit Big Mom.
“My climatact never shoots lightning that strong!” Nami says in shock
“Nice work, Nami!” You smile, giving the girl a small high five
“Where’s Big Mom?” Carrot questions
“That definitely hit her.” Pedro hums as we stare at the new hole in the ground.
Faint thuds catch our attention. Turning your ear toward the hole, the thuds were coming from the large crater.
“That’s her for sure,” Nami grunts, tensing up
The floor begins to shake more violently as the crashing noise grows louder
“Everybody run!” Pedro shouts as the floor begins to rupture open due to Big Mom pushing up to the surface.
Letting out a gasp, seeing the woman emerge from the ground, you turn, heading, the opposite direction with the group.
“Any suggestions?” You call out to Jimbei, who seemed to be giving us every hint to winning this fight.
“I’m afraid not! We have to keep running!” Jimbei replies
“GIVE IT BACK NOW!” Big Mom shrieks, making you wince, covering your ears lightly. Carrot does the same from beside you
“Straw Hats! Up here!” A voice calls from above.
Dropping your hands, peering up, finding Pudding and Chiffon on a flying carpet.
“Huh?” You question seeing the two
“What are you doing here, Pudding! Are you here to trick us again?!” Luffy interrogates the woman as she follows our group
“You can stop Mama’s hunger pains with my help!” Pudding announces
“It’s a trap! I knew I should’ve tied her up!” Pedro huffs from the front of the crew
“You already betrayed us once.” You frown at the girl.
“I know, but this time I promise to work together!” Pudding sighs
“Look, Mama thinks you have the cake right now, and I’ve heard you’re pretty good with sweets. If we work together on this cake. Then I’ll help you escape.” Chiffon takes over, suggesting the idea
“What? But we don’t have her cake!” Luffy argues back
“We know, but that’s just what Mama thinks!” Chiffon explains how her brothers told Big Mom we had the cake to get her to focus on us instead.
“So where can we bake this cake?” Sanji asks
“All the ingredients we need can be found in Chocolat Town! We’ll head there, make the cake as fast as we can, then deliver the cake back to the Straw Hats. That should get it to Mama, who will be following you. I have faith you’ll be able to pull through!” Chiffon explains her plan
“We will!” Luffy agrees with the plan
“Alright! I’m gonna leave you guys, I’ll be back!” Sanji says. The crew bids their goodbyes.
Smiling, you send the cook a nod. As Sanji leaps onto the carpet, Luffy’s voice speaks up
“Y/N, go with Sanji!” Luffy calls
“What?” Turning toward Luffy quickly, meeting his warm smile.
“Are you sure, Luffy?” You question, unsure about his decision.
“Go and scout the area. Report back to us!” Luffy instructs, as Pedro tosses you a small transponder snail.
“Understood.” You nod, catching the snail. Leaping as Sanji’s hand pulls you onto the carpet beside him
“Tagging along?” Sanji grins
“Don't get ahead of yourself, Captain’s orders.” You reply, taking a seat on the fabric. The wind brushes against your skin
Moving swiftly through the air, we pass over the Sunny. Squinting as you see many people on the ship. Chopper and Brook are on the deck fighting back against Big Mom’s crew.
“It looks like they’re getting attacked.” Sanji grunts
“They set up an ambush awfully fast. My big brothers are there!” Chiffon points out, worried
“Ha! That’ll teach ya! They were no match for my darling brothers!” Pudding laughs loudly, making us all turn back to face her.
“Come on, Pudding.” You wince, shaking your head at the girl’s emotions all over the place. One second, she was a hot mess, the next, she was throwing harmful words.
“Yeah, bring it back a little Pudding.” Chiffon says, sweat dropping from her forehead. The younger girl was helpless to her own emotions
“Sorry!” Pudding squeaks, covering her face. Turning her back toward us.
“So what do you two wanna do? We could drop you off?” Chiffon suggest
“No, they should be fine. Our crew can handle themselves.” You reply, watching your crewmates get smaller on the deck
“It’s true, so let’s do this.” Sanji agrees with a proud smirk.
“Could you let us down?” Sanji asks Rabian, Pudding’s flying carpet. The two of you were smushed close together inside the rolled up carpet.
“Okay!” He replies cheerfully, unraveling himself from around you.
Finding your footing, Chiffon greets you with a small smile as Sanji pulls out a piece of paper.
Glancing around the large room, it seemed to be some sort of factory. Kitchen appliances were spotted every way you turned
“I drew a diagram of the wedding cake on the way here.” Sanji starts handing the sheet to Chiffon
Pulling out a white rag from his pocket, he hands it to you.
“Here. They’ll know who you are.” Sanji states, as you retrieve the cloth
“What? You drew this from memory? How do you know the ingredients without tasting it?” Chiffon exclaims in disbelief. Eyes scanning over the drawing
“Amazing, isn’t he?” You grin, lifting the cloth halfway up your face.
Placing it across the bridge of your nose. Tying it behind your head. The fabric covering the lower half of your face.
Sanji lets out a soft laugh at your words, smoke flowing out of his mouth.
“I can tell by its scent.” He answers Chiffon’s question
“Huh?” Chiffon gasp in shock
“Told you.” You smile at her reaction.
Turning to grab an apron nearby. Tossing the loop of the cloth around your neck
“My sweet, you don’t have to trouble yourself helping,” Sanji speaks up
“I’m already here. The least I can do is help.” You reply, glancing over your shoulder at him, not too far behind.
“Can you?” You ask, holding the two strings of the apron out behind you.
“Of course” Sanji answers softly, taking the strings from between your fingers.
Facing forward, you can feel the strings faintly brushing against you. Tightening around your waist, standing still as he fastens it. While he did that, your hands find their way around a blue chef’s hat. Plopping it on top of your head, hoping to blend in some more.
“There.” Sanji hums from behind you, making you spin around to face him.
“Thank you.” You nod. Thankful for the cloth covering your lower face as it grew hot from how close you were.
Pudding hurries over, taking small steps, trying to catch any of the chef’s attention.
“I cut their memory so they don’t know about the whole wedding fiasco. They think it went off, so they think we are husband and wife now. The story is that the weather ruined the cake, and now we must make a new one.” Pudding explains the situation.
Turning to you as she finishes
“They think you’re some secret cook here to assist. You just happened to be here attending the wedding. The chefs shouldn’t bother you too much, though.” Pudding nods toward you
“Who drew this?!” A chef demands from behind Pudding. Many of them crowd around the piece of paper Sanji had
“That'd be me. Let me know if there’s anything wrong.” Sanji’s steps forward
“I knew you were talented, but I didn’t know you were this good!” One of the chefs exclaims, fascinated by Sanji's work
“And you must be the cook Pudding mentioned? What’s with the covered face?” Another chef points toward you
Tensing up, you hold up a hand, waving them off
“I’m very shy. Please excuse me for covering up.” You mumble in response, earning understanding noises to leave the chefs
“No! We understand! I hope to cook well alongside you both!” The chefs bow, taking off in different directions
Beginning to start the preparations for Big Mom’s cake. The plan was to get it baked here and decorate it while on the way to deliver it to the emperor.
Everybody works relatively quietly. You and Sanji prepare the ingredients for the whipped cream.
Chiffon suddenly rushes over, panting out of breath.
“What’s wrong, Chiffon?” You ask, taking notice of her worried expression.
“We are running slightly behind! Do you and Sanji mind making the top layer of the cake for us?!” Chiffon asks
“It’s no problem, Chiffon.” Sanji smiles, taking on the task
“Don’t worry,” You nod, reassuring the girl
“You two are wonderful!” Chiffon lets out a relieved sigh. Resting a hand on Sanji's shoulders, the others on yours.
Her head hangs for a second, catching a moment for herself. Making eye contact with the cook, you both break into smiles at the woman’s actions.
“Everything will be okay.” You speak up, as Chiffion lets go of you two
Now, in a separate part of the kitchen, you and Sanji work together. Lifting the mixing bowl to pour the batter into a cake pan. Using your vines to assist him in lifting the heavy bowl.
The pan is taller than you. It was for Big Mom to say the least, it had to be grand. Following Chiffon’s recipe to a tea as she helped the other cooks catch up on their tasks.
With the cake pan filled with the mixture, you glance at the large oven in your section of the kitchen. It looked different from what you were used to. Looking at the oven back to the larger cake pan, you grunt. The size looked like it might cause trouble.
“How do we do it?” You ask, glancing at Sanji
“I’ll help you. Just put it in” Sanji instructs
“Don’t you think it’s too big?” You question
“It will be fine,” Sanji groans along with you. Both are working to lift the heavy baking pan.
Lowering it onto the rack, you both let out deep breaths
“I'll push it in.” Sanji grunts, planting his hands on the bowl. Panting slightly, he pushes the large pan into the oven.
“It fits perfectly inside.” You huff as Sanji closes the oven door
“WHAT?!” Pudding's voice shrieks from behind you.
Making you and Sanji jump slightly. Snapping your head toward the girl falling out from behind a wall. Pudding’s face was flushed bright red as she hit the floor with a loud thud. Steam was leaving her nose
Your eyebrows furrow at the girl's odd actions. Chiffon runs over, crouching next to the girl, helping her off the floor. Shaking her back to reality
“What’s wrong?” Sanji asked, filled with concern
“What are you two doing?!” Pudding prys suddenly with her finger pointed at us. Eye scanning us up and down quickly
“We were putting the cake in the oven. Are you okay, Pudding?” You answer hesitantly.
Taking a few steps closer to the girl, making sure she wasn’t hurt. The sound of her hitting the floor sounded bad.
“Liar! I heard you two!” Pudding exclaims
“Look, Pudding.” Sanji says, taking a step to the side to show her the cake in the oven.
A shocked gasp leaves her mouth. Like the air just got knocked from her lungs.
Her hand flies up to cover her mouth. Head snapping between Sanji and you. Going back and forth quickly, as you both stare back at her, confused
“That’s what he meant by put it in. I misunderstood. Sorry,” Pudding says softly, bowing her head
Your breath practically got stuck in your throat at her words. Realization sinking in, thinking back on your word choice along with Sanji’s.
To the left, you hear the same choking noise from the cook. Pudding’s face deepened its shade of red. As she hurried away, covering her face in shame
Sanji beside you clears his throat. His face was lightly flushed. He tugs gently at the collar around his neck. Suddenly, it seemed too tight.
Turning to him, you smile awkwardly. Both were softly laughing at the girl's mind. Pudding had assumed you two were doing something else rather than cooking.
“I guess it sounded like that, huh?” You laugh softly, shaking your head at the previous encounter
“Maybe we should watch what we say” Sanji replies, lifting a hand to rub the back of his neck
“Probably,” You sigh, following him as you turn your focus back on the whipped cream
As the cakes bake in the oven, Sanji was almost done with another batch of whipped cream. Stirring the cream with a large wooden spoon.
You stand by a counter to his left. A cutting board in front of you, knife in hand.
Slicing up bananas for the cake. The knife moving against the board mixes with the sound of the spoon scraping the bowl’s edge.
The silence hanging between you and Sanji made you speak up.
“When we were coming here, I had to take over cooking.” You start up a conversation. Breaking the tension that nestled its way between you two.
Pausing your cutting motions to glance over at the blonde.
“Really?” He chimes, lifting his head in surprise.
You nod your head, making a smile spread on his face.
“How was it? Luffy can be a real pain in the ass when he’s hungry.” Sanji says, laughing slightly at the mention of our captain.
Focusing back on the whipped cream, you continue cutting up the fruit.
“Mmm. It was pretty normal, actually. It was interesting to be in your place, though.” You reply as the knife glides through the Banana
“What do you mean?” Sanji questions, making you pause slightly
“I mean, it felt good cooking for everyone. Seeing their faces and everything, I get why you enjoy it.” You answer, smiling to yourself, remembering your crewmate’s faces every time you had cooked this past week.
It had always felt different since you often watched Sanji cook, but never joined in much. You mostly just kept the chef company as he cooked. Now, finally getting to experience what it was like for others to eat your food.
“I agree, the reactions are the best part of cooking.” Sanji replies, pausing for a second before continuing
“You’re not gonna take my job, right?” Sanji jokes, letting out a laugh.
The noise makes you turn to him. His warm smile blinded you, as his eyes closed while he laughed.
“As much fun as cooking is. I don’t think I could replace your skills.” You laugh,
Turning back to scoop up the sliced fruit. Dropping them into a bowl that Chiffon gave you.
“I could always teach you a few things, if you enjoyed it that much,” Sanji suggests. His voice is now closer than before, making you place the knife down.
Lifting your head, the cook is now close. His shirt lightly brushes against your bare arm.
“Wouldn’t you just be giving me a head start on taking your place?” You smirk at the cook
“I don’t mind sharing with you. A pretty Sous chef would be nice.” He teases, leaning closer.
Smiling at his words, your hands meet his shoulders. Putting space between you two. Not wanting anyone to get the wrong idea about the two of you being so close.
“Sanji, you’ll be in trouble if somebody hears you talking to me like this while you’re married.” Your comment as your face grows hot under the cloth covering your face. His words getting to you.
Sanji tenses up at your reply, before relaxing once more. Still very determined to get your attention.
“But you admit you would like a private lesson?” Sanji says, leaning close one last time
“I wouldn’t call it that, but sure. Now, backup.” You tease with a shrug, a small smile on your face. Picking the knife back up
Continuing to cut the fruit as the cook pulls away. In the corner of your eye, you see him turn away with a smug smile.
Sanji returns to stirring the whipped cream, giving you the space you requested.
The two of you continue talking about nonsense while attending to your task. Your voices echoed in the small section that the two of you occupied. Both keeping each other company as you cook side by side. Enveloped in your job, but still having the brain power to hold a conversation with the cook.
“Look great, you two!” Chiffon praises as she appears with a slice of cake on her plate.
“Thanks! Looks like the cakes are all cooked?” You smile as the scent of the cake wafts toward you.
“Mhm! Have a bite!” Chiffon smiles, lifting a fork in your direction.
Smiling at the woman’s maternal nature, you open your mouth, allowing the fork to enter. Closing around the fork, you feel your eyes light up at the taste. The cake is fluffy, not too sweet. Just perfect
“I could eat that every day.” You let out a laugh, slightly dazed at how something could be so good.
Chiffon and Sanji laugh along at your comment. The woman cuts into the slice once more
“Here, Sanji.” Chiffon offers as he lets the woman feed him, without any thought
“You’re incredible, Chiffon. She’s right, I wanna eat this cake for the rest of my life.” Sanji compliments the older woman
“You’re both so sweet!” Chiffon smiles at our words.
Before you could say anything else, some of the chefs brought over Chiffon’s transponder snail out for Pudding. Walking over to the Pudding section, we get close enough to hear what the other person was saying.
You hear a familiar voice leave the transponder snail. It was Brulee, the tall woman from the seducing forest. Staying silent as you listen to the girl talk to her older sister
“I have some news to share about that Straw Hat and his crewmates. Tomorrow morning at 1 am, the Straw Hats ship should be arriving at Cacao Island. That’s where they are planning to meet up with their captain. Either way, Straw Hat won’t be making it to that island, as he chose to fight against Katakuri.” Brulee says
“Don’t worry, sis, I got this! If Mama wants the best wedding cake, I’ll give it to her!” Pudding replies as Brulee laughs in approval
“Oh, and if any of the Straw Hats arrive there early. Don’t worry, Oven just arrived on the island.” The older woman continues making you tense up at the name.
Listening to the new plan, your crewmates had chosen to meet here. Taking in the intel on the island's status, you slowly push out of the crowd of chefs surrounding Pudding.
As you exit the small crowd, a hand grabs yours. Turning to face the owner, Sanji’s eyes meet yours. His eyes dart down to our hands, and your eyes follow. Feeling something now in your palm.
You glance up at the cook, sending him a nod. Dropping your hand as you turn to walk away.
Walking through the aisles of kitchen supplies in the large factory. The chattering of the cooks fades as you go deeper into the warehouse. You find a dim hallway, turning down it. Beginning to walk down toward the end.
Opening your hand now hidden from peeping eyes. Revealing the small transponder snail on your palm, you quickly dial the crew. The snail's rings echo in the empty hallway before picking up.
“Hello!?” Nami's voice rings through the snail
“Nami! Can you hear me?” You whisper into the snail
“We are a little busy right now! Big Mom is still chasing us!” Nami hurries out her words, as you hear loud explosions in the background.
“Keep heading this way, Nami. We know what Luffy is doing, but Big Mom’s kids have also caught wind of your plan to meet here. The place seems to be crawling with soldiers, so be very careful.” You inform Nami about the information getting out.
“Ugh! Of course they know! Okay, thanks for letting me know! I’ll see you soon!” Nami’s voice chimes through the snail
“See you!” You hum, smiling, hearing her cheerful tone despite being in danger
“Sorry.” Muttering as you shove the snail down the front of your dress.
Making your way out of the hallway before somebody notices your absence. Heels clacking against the factory’s tiled floor
Approaching Sanji, who was back to stirring the whipped cream. Pudding is near, talking to him
“I let Nami know.” You tell the two, returning to the cutting board
“Aren’t you worried? Your captain is going head to head with Katakuri! His bounty is over a billion. Big brother has never lost a single fight in his entire life!” Pudding exclaims from behind you
“Then it’s a special occasion.” Sanji answers, smiling back at the girl.
“No way! His power outshines Luffy's!” Pudding defends her older brother. Her footsteps stomp over to you.
“You don’t also think your captain is gonna win?” She questions.
Her presence makes you glance away from the fruit. Catching the small frown on her face, the younger girl worried
“I do believe Luffy will win this fight.” You sigh, answering honestly
Pudding shoulder drop, and she lets out a defeated whine.
“But there's no reason to worry. Luffy won’t go far.” You attempt to reassure the girl. Giving her a gentle nudge with your elbow.
The younger girl lifts her head. A look of relief washes over her face. Her warm smile was back in its place. Returning the smile, you turn to the counter, grabbing a full banana that hasn’t been peeled yet.
“Here. I don’t think you’ve eaten all day.” You express your concerns. Trying to distract her mind
Placing the fruit into her hand.
“Thanks.” Pudding says softly, accepting the offer. Walking away to take a break
Returning to your task, you hear Sanji speak up
“Trying to steal my wife?” He teases
“You should’ve noticed sooner.” You answer with a smug smile. Which quickly falters as you continue
“She’s only a kid, Sanji. I can’t imagine what it’s like being Big Mom’s kid.” You huff, frustrated at the mistreatment the mother had toward her children
“You’re always thinking about everybody, huh, my sweet?” Sanji says from across the kitchen
For a moment, it feels real. Like you were both in the kitchen of the home that the two of you owned together. And here you were prepping dinner together in the warmly lit house.
“There isn’t much we can do, but this cake should help them out.” Sanji’s voice brings you back to the noisy kitchen.
“We need to hurry then.” You reply, body warm. Once more, the cook’s way with words had you dazing off about the peaceful life you imagined.
The people of Chocolat Town cheer loudly. Lining the sides of the streets like it was a parade. The large cake sits in the middle of the large wagon.
Pudding and Chiffon stand at the front of the Wagon. While you and Sanji stand on the side, trying to blend in with the other chefs
Underneath the material over your face, you smile at the many people waving back at you.
Unaware you were a pirate. It’s not like you were doing anything bad. You stare at the crowd of smiling faces frombeside Sanji.
The blonde now has the lower half of his face covered as well. A pair of glasses rest on his nose
“We believe in you!” A small girl shouts, waving her tiny hand at you
Returning the gesture, the girl’s smile only grows. When the wagon suddenly halts, coming to a stop.
The two of you peak out from around the cake. Seeing Oven was the one who stopped the wagon
“Where do you plan on taking that cake?” Oven interrogates his younger sister
“We decided to decorate the cake on a ship. That will ensure the safety of Chocolat Town!” Pudding explains
Oven sits in silence, as his eyes begin to scan over the chefs. The two of you freeze. Sanji shuffles in front of you, hiding your dress.
As his piercing eyes scan over you. Oven turns back to Pudding
“I agree. That is a splendid plan. Pardon me, carry on.” Oven speaks up
“Thank you, Oven! I promise, we won’t let you down!” You hear Chiffon say
“I don’t mean you. You’re staying right here with me!” Oven replies, jumping up, grabbing hold of the woman.
Slamming her onto the ground forcefully. You gasp, running over to the edge of the wagon. Hands gripping the railing as you watch the man hold Chiffon down
“We gotta do something!" You whisper to Sanji
“Careful! You can’t get caught as well.” Sanji says, grabbing hold of your shoulder. Bringing you away from the edge.
The carriage jolts, beginning to roll again. Continuing toward the dock with the cake.
You head toward the back of the wagon, unable to do anything without your cover being blown. Watching the cruel treatment, waiting for an opening
As Oven begins to lift Chiffon by the throat, crashing footsteps approach.
“GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER RIGHT NOW, OVEN! YOU HEAR ME!” A large man shouts, running at Oven
“Pound?” You gasp at the sight
The father gives an opening, as Oven releases Chiffon. Meeting Sanji's eyes, sharing a look. In the next moment, he’s gone in a flash, with you following.
As Pound and Oven are about to collide fists. Sanji lands a kick to the top of Oven’s head. At the same time, Chiffon falls perfectly into your arms.
Quickly heading back toward the wagon with the woman before anyone noticed. You appear on the carriage next to Pudding.
“We need to hide her!” You instruct as Pudding rushes off to find something to cover her
“You saved me.” Chiffon says in shock
“You're my friend Chiffon.” You smile at the older woman who has been nothing but kind.
“Come on, let’s hide you.” Sanji appears beside you in a flash.
Helping you cover Chiffon with a cloth, Pudding had found. Just then, Oven jumps on the wagon, grabbing hold of the woman hiding.
Sanji and you back away, not wanting to be noticed as Pudding defends her older sister
“Just accept your punishment,” Oven says, one hand holding Chiffon's head, the other burning a fire in front of her face.
“Quit it, brother! We’ve got to get the cake to Mama!” Pudding tries to reason with her brother.
About to step in, Oven’s transponder snail begins to ring. Pausing, he picks it up
“Oven! We found Bege! He is heading straight to Chocolat Town!” A voice says through the snail.
Looking toward the ocean up ahead, you could see a boat in the distance. No mistake that was Bege. The man’s actions were heartwarming as he rushed toward danger for his wife. Their ship was being chased by the Tarte boats.
A shot echoes across the ocean. A bullet hits the center of Oven’s face, exploding in the process. The man gets knocked off the wagon, flying into a tree
Watching the debris cloud the air around the tree that Oven slammed into. You turn back to Chiffon
“Your husband has a nice shot!” You cheer, throwing your arms in the air.
Pudding squeals beside you, both taking the win with Oven out of the way. As Beges' boat gets closer, the tank-like tires allow the ship to also come onto land.
Your feet suddenly leave the wagon underneath you for a moment. Grabbing hold of the railing, looking over the edge. Mouth flying open, letting out a loud gasp. The ground now seemed to be far away. The wagon flew through the air, heading toward Bege’s ship.
“Sanji.” You huff to yourself, realizing who was behind launching us into the sky. Not one for heights.
Tightening your grip on the rails, preparing for impact as we head for Bege’s ship. Landing with a crash, the cake wobbles slightly before stilling.
Hopping down onto the deck of the ship, you form your sword. Slicing through the ropes holding the sea lion that carried the wagon. It barks a couple of times before hopping off the ship. The ship drives straight in the direction of Chocolat Town
Some of the buildings are crushed under the boat’s tires. We successfully made it through Chocolate Town, exiting on the southeast shore. The ship plopped back into the water, avoiding all the Tarte ships. Fleeing from the island as quickly as possible.
“Alright, let’s hurry. We gotta decorate this cake!” Sanji directs everybody to finish the cake.
Sanji removes the glasses and the cloth he disguised himself with. You follow, pulling down the cloth over your face. It hangs around your neck when you hear a gasp
“You’ve been a Straw Hat this whole time!” A chef shouts, making you snap your head in his direction. An accusing finger pointing at you
“Surprise,” You mutter, sending the chef an awkward smile.
“That makes her my crewmate, Y/N. She’s only here to help us with the cake like she's been doing.” Sanji quickly cuts in. Putting himself in front of you as he calms the chefs down.
“Nice work.” You admire the cake, turning to face Sanji, who lands beside you after frosting some roses on the top of the cake.
The sky is now dark, sunsetting not too long ago. It felt much cooler outside now. And the ship is surrounded by the aroma of the cake. Frosted evenly all around, all the chefs' hard work showed in the details.
“It’s all thanks to everybody who helped.” Sanji grins at the masterpiece of a cake.
Hearing thuds against the wooden deck, you glance around at the chef’s all of whom have passed out. Exhausted from the hours they spent cooking. Frosting covered every cook, having no time to worry about our cleanliness when there was a cake to be decorated.
As Sanji talks to the Chiffon and Pudding, you find yourself wandering toward the back of the ship. Coming to a stop, you cross your arms over your chest. Standing by the railing, watching the stars.
Staring off into the night sky, soft footsteps sound against the wooden floor. The smell of smoke gives away the person without you having to look.
“Sulking by yourself, mon amour.” Sanji starts as he rests his elbows on the railing to your right. Leaning against the edge a bit to get a better look at your face
Turning to face him, his face now directly leveled with yours. Sanji greeted you with a warm smile. Taking note of him keeping a respectful distance. Also noting the frosting scattered all over him, some on his face
“Just taking a breather.” You reply, raising your hand to his.
“You missed a spot.” You point out while swiping your finger across the frosting on his jaw.
Plopping the finger into your mouth. Letting out a hum as the fluffy texture dissolved on your tongue. The sweet taste coats your mouth.
“I don’t know how you do it.” You compliment, a smile taking over your face
“Let me try!” Sanji smiles, leaning close. Placing a kiss on your cheek
“Sanji!” You gasp. Pushing him away gently
Cautiously, glancing around, making sure nobody saw. Your face was burning up. The cloth no longer there to hide you
“Mmm! You’re right, I did do a good job.” The cook lets out a laugh, closing his eyes as he licks the frosting on his lips. Savoring the taste.
“What?” Sanji asks after opening his eyes.
Realizing you were slightly further away.
“I told you! What if somebody saw that! You’re supposed to be Pudding’s groom.” You whisper shout the man beside you
“Hey, you started it. Either way, the chefs are too tired to notice.” Sanji shrugs, scooting closer to you. His shoulder bumping into yours
Grunting to yourself because he had a point. Allowing him to finally get close this once.
“Here,” he says softly. Handing you a small cloth in hand.
Internally questioning where he had got it from, as you accept the fabric.
“Thanks” You reply, dragging the material across your face. Doing your best to remove what you could without a mirror.
“I know she’s technically the enemy, but I don’t want Pudding to see us and get hurt.” You mutter while handing the cloth back
“A woman after my own heart.” Sanji teases softly, raising his hand. The cloth in his hand as his eyes trace over your face, wiping away any frosting you missed.
You let out a soft laugh. Head shaking at his response. Cracking a smile, not able to keep serious with Sanji so close. Especially when it was him cleaning you up.
“I hope the crew is okay.” You confess to cutting the silence as he finished cleaning your face.
Sanji pauses at your words. In no time, he was pulling you closer. Wrapping his arms around you
“They can hold their own, you said it yourself. There is no need to worry.” Sanji comforts you, hand gliding against your back.
Wrapping your arms around his torso in return. Resting your head to the left, getting a clear view of the moonlight shining on the ocean. Sinking into the warmth radiating from the cook
“I know, but I can’t help it. Luffy sure is crazy. I don’t think I could ever attack an emperor if it weren’t for him.” You mumble against his chest, watching the waves lightly crashing into each other
“Yeah, I don’t think any of us would have.” Sanji laughs softly
“I don’t regret it, though. An emperor is scary, but Luffy has luck that gets him everything he wants. But I think that's just because he’s Luffy.” You continue, and both of you begin laughing.
Both letting it sink in how crazy this all was. And you had all made it this far.
“Luffy is terrifying. I'd hate to be on the receiving end.” Sanji smiles, releasing his arms from around you.
Digging out a cigarette from his pocket, he lit the stick. Taking a drag
“Yeah, you sure are lucky Luffy didn't kick your ass back there!” You comment, sending him a slight glare, remembering the stunt he pulled back in the field of Whole Cake Island
He shrugs playfully as Bege and his crew hurry down the side of the boats.
“Your crew should be up ahead. Move your behinds,” Bege's rough voice chimes in the conversation. Passing us up, heading toward a small castle like tower that he had at the back of his ship.
Following the man and his crew, you and Sanji stand near him. The Sunny stands tall, and the flag burned slightly. And Big Mom chased right behind them.
“She looks way more pissed now!” You wince. Eyebrows knitting together, seeing the emperor on a large sun. Big Mom herself was practically on fire.
Turning your back to the scene, you head down the stairs toward Pudding. Leaving the two guys to talk. Climbing onto the flying carpet, you sit on your knees. Sanji followed, and we were off, leaving the cake in Bege’s and Chiffon’s hands.
Rushing past the crashing waves, water mists your face as you near the Sunny. As the carpet comes to a stop, you and Sanji hop off the carpet.
“Hey there! You miss us?” Sanji grinned as the crew faced us
“Y/N! Sanji!” Nami smiles, throwing her hand in the air
“You two are safe! And Pudding is here!” Brook cheers
“Hey, guys!” Chopper chirps, the three of them throwing themselves in our direction. Hugging you two close
“I thought I was gonna die,” Nami cries, squeezing you tight. Tears in Nami’s eyes, making Sanji burst away from everyone's hold. Dancing around
“Why were you guys on Bege’s ship?” Brook questions ignoring Sanji’s actions
“Long story, Bege is luring her further away from the island just to be safe,” Sanji answers, after calming down.
“But why would Bege do that?” Brook continues. Letting out a hum, you lift your head
“Well, Bege’s wife is doing whatever to help us. And I don’t think Bege’s given up on killing Big Mom.” You point out, making the crew nod in understanding
“That does sound like him,” Jimbei confirms
“As long as the Sunny is okay, everything should be fine. What are Pedro and Carrot up to?” Sanji asks
“I know I’m surprised they’re not out here.” You nod, glancing around the upper deck. Rocking on your feet, trying to spot the two
“Oh, they’re both in the cabin! They’re both wiped out from all the fighting” Brook states
“We should let them rest then. We need to discuss how we are gonna get Luffy back.” You redirect the conversation, giving the two their time to rest.
“You don’t think this will actually work, do you?” Pudding says quietly, a brown hood draped over her head.
“It has to.” You reply, lifting the brown hood around your neck onto your head.
You sit across from Sanji, who also wears a hood, keeping us hidden. The three of you are pressed against the walls of an alleyway, hidden from the Charlotte family patrolling one singular mirror in the center of the island
Pudding stands further down the dark alley from us.
“We are gonna be in a hurry soon, so be ready.” Sanji warns you of blowing out smoke. Another cigarette lit between his fingers.
Sending him a nod, you turn to the younger girl.
“Why are you so far away, Pudding?” You murmur, walking toward the girl
“I can’t be seen you two pirates!” She barks, glaring at you.
You tense up as she snaps her head in your direction. Her shoulders drop seeing your confused face, cracking a smile.
“Are you laughin’ at me!” Pudding huffs face inches away. Filled with anger, she looked so adorable you couldn’t help but laugh.
“Stop it, Pudding. We gotta be quiet!” You laugh softly, catching Pudding's attention.
Realizing how close she was, Pudding stumbles back almost like a cartoon. Making your smile only grow. She panics for a moment before letting out a deep breath. Closing her eyes, trying to calm herself.
Opening her eyes, Pudding glances over your shoulder at Sanji behind you, distracted by the crowd.
“I heard you and Sanji talking earlier.” Pudding begins to speak, making you even more confused
“About?” You utter, glancing around, confused
“You had said you didn’t want my feelings to be hurt when Sanji showed you affection. But I don’t think that’s right at all. Sanji is the happiest with you all. So I would rather see you two happy, even if it hurts. I’m honestly grateful to have met Sanji through this, but I think I somehow learned more in the short time I knew you.” Pudding says, making your frown slightly at her words
“Pudding.” You mutter as the girl sees the tears in her eyes. Noticing the girl breaking down suddenly
“When you first met me, you told me you're glad Sanji would be marrying someone like me. Mama has always been so harsh on me. Hearing you speak kindly about me despite how I’ve treated you made me feel horrible. I’m sorry our time as friends was so miserable.” Pudding sniffles, tears beginning to stream down her face
“It’s okay, Pudding.” You hush, wrapping your arms around the girl,and she leans into you. Hand rubbing against her back, trying to soothe her cries
“But you’ll be back, right?” Pudding chokes on her tears as she pulls away, searching for your eyes. Her brown eyes were lined with tears
“We have to, don't we?” You grin down at the girl
“Next time, I promise it will be better than this.” The younger girl sniffles, looking up at you.
“I’m sure it will be.” You smile, reaching to pat the girl's head. Earning a smile from the girl as she wipes away her tears
“Y/N, it’s almost time!” Sanji’s hushed voice echoes down the alleyway.
Smiling at the girl one last time, you turn and head over to stand beside the cook. Peeking out of the alley as the clock struck one o’clock. Sanji and you let out a gasp, seeing someone jump out of the mirror with Brulee held hostage.
“Pekoms?” You mumble over Sanji’s shoulder, seeing the lion mink.
“Where is Luffy!” Sanji grunts, watching Pekoms get surrounded by Big Mom’s crew.
The mink drops Brulee, removing his glasses, looking toward the moon. Staring in confusion as the lion suddenly grows in size. His mane grows long, turning white. Pekoms had transformed
“So this was their secret.” You utter in shock, lighting dances around the lion. Oven towers over the crowd as he walks over to Pekoms.
The large man pulls his fists back, knocking it right into Pekoms. Sending him flying, landing on the ground. A figure tumbles out, catching a black shirt. The straw hat on the figure’s back gave it away. With the Charlotte siblings surrounding your captain, Sanji and you took off.
Swiftly racing through the crowd, with Sanji heading in an opposite direction. As a guy gets ready to swing at Luffy, you rush forward. Throwing off the brown coat, your sword growing in hand.
Arms pulling back behind your head, you slice at his torso. A scream leaves him when you feel an arm wrap around your waist. The crowd gets smaller as you look down, seeing a white sleeve around you.
Glancing to your right, your nose almost grazes Sanji’s cheek. Looking down, finding Luffy getting carried in Sanji’s left arm, lower to his waist. The cook is using his skywalk ability to give us a better chance of getting away.
“Luffy!” You beam, smiling at your captain, looking up at you and Sanji.
“Y/N! Sanji!” Luffy smiles
“Win your fight?” Sanji questions
“Yeah!” Luffy nods before passing out. Soft snores leave him
“Now, we just got to get out of here.” You encourage the cook as he carries the two of you over Chocolat Town.
Your arms over his shoulder, hands grasping your sword firmly. Slicing away at Big Mom’s family, who could also skywalk.
A white flash goes by, taking down some of the siblings on your tail. It was Pekoms attacking them, watching in slight fear at his beast like state. He turns toward you and Sanji. The cook had also taken notice.
“Sanji!” You yelp as Pekom's eyes snap onto you three. In a flash, he was in the air right beside you, smashing you all into a roof. Feeling your body smash into the solid material, you felt your limbs burning from the sharp impact.
Slightly shaking from the pain, you pant, still wrapped in Sanji’s arm. Both are trying to catch your breath, staring at Pekoms in front of you. The lion lunges toward you two, before halting, his eyes watering. Something suddenly flipped inside him.
His claw lifts, poking us as softly as possible before leaning away.
“Take Straw Hat. You must flee.” Pekom's voice was deeper. He sounded like a beast in this form. Sanji lets out a sigh next to you
“Okay.” Sanji nods, picking himself up. Lifting you and Luffy along with him, taking off quickly.
Your eyes water slightly as Pekoms turns to go fight against his crew members. His roars cut short as he was pierced multiple times.
“PEKOMS!” You shout, reaching a hand out. Raising it over and over, your vines shoot up, piercing as many of the soldiers as you can that surround the lion. The crowd only gets smaller the further the three of you get.
Suddenly getting smashed into the ground by a mallet, one of Big Mom’s kids made. Feeling the air knocked out of you once more. Sanji grunts on the floor as you push yourself onto your feet. Sword drawn in front of you as Oven makes his way over.
“Fight back as much as you like. No one can overcome this many foes. It’s over.” Oven taunts as guns click, aiming at us.
“OPEN FIRE!” A woman shouts as the gunshots ring. You relax, ready to block every bullet. Freezing upon someone crashing down in front of you.
The man stands tall, his red hair styled. As the shooting stops, the Vinsmoke siblings stand around us. Blocking us from the bullets. Internally feeling guilty for feeling so happy to have Sanji’s family's help.
“You owe us after the tea party,” Ichiji leads, dropping bullets from his hand.
“Did you come here to help us?” Sanji mutters from behind you
“Oh. Sanji, you're here.” Ichiji mumbles over his shoulder, reminding you how much of downers Sanji’s siblings were
“You two get moving already!” Reiju orders, as you turn around, rushing toward the cook.
Sanji wasted no time lifting you and taking off toward the sky. Niji grabs onto Sanji, using his boots to boost us further away from the crowd
“Have a nice flight.” His brother smirks, pulling his arm back before launching us further toward the ocean.
“Your brothers are assholes!” You shout as the wind rushes past you fast, it feels like needles pricking your skin.
“Yeah, they are.” Sanji grunts, slowing down as he begins to skywalk, continuing over the chaos erupting below. Boats sit on the sea's surface, lit on fire, smoke filling the air. As a bomb whistles through the air, a pink orb wraps around us.
“You're really high maintenance, aren’t you?” Reiju's smooth voice pours out, making you smile. Sanji's head faced his older sister in shock.
“Don’t let them go, okay?” Reiju smiles down at Sanji. Your smile grows at the two siblings, feeling a force push you two further above the sea.
“Be safe!” Sanji calls out as he returns, looking forward. Loud explosions ring in your ears as Sanji huffs, carrying you two through the heat of the flames below.
Through the dark smoke smoke filled clouds. You see a familiar flag peaking through. As the cook continues past the clouds, the ship appears.
“The Sunny!” You smile widely, looking over your shoulder. Admiring the ship, you worried you might not ever board again.
“Look, Luffy,” Sanji gently shakes Luffy awake in his arms
“Is dinner ready yet?” Luffy murmurs groggily. Sanji lets out a small laugh
“Of course, that’s what he’s thinking about.” You sigh, shaking your head at the boy who has fallen back to sleep. Feeling yourself relax in Sanji’s arms, knowing that you would all be back on the Sunny together. Better yet, you were all closer to being with the crew in Wano.
Very heavy Sanji chapter. Yk i had too espeically for the last part in Whole cake. Hehehe BUT YK NEXT CHAPTER WILL HAVE ZORO, MAYBE LAW???? Everybody getting written about atp, Wano is already so good. Everybody lookin tewww goooddd.
