Humming can be heard in the kitchen as utensils clanked softly against each other. Sanji is in the kitchen alone, preparing for some easy lunch menu. Meat, chicken pesto wraps, sandwiches even some spicy chicken fried rice, white rice with multiple side dishes to go with and watermelon and lemon juices already on the tables, waiting to be consumed.
Based on the log pose, Nami informed them this morning that there's an island nearby with summer weather, a perfect place to have a vacation. If it turned out to be an inhabited island, they probably would camp there for a few days, a well-deserved rest after the fight with Kaido.
Sanji perked up when someone opened the galley's door, Brook with a cup of tea in hand casually strolled to the kitchen's aisle, a usual place where Sanji put freshly brewed tea in a teapot. Brook greets Sanji as he pours the tea into his already-used cup.
"Good afternoon," Sanji grunted in response as he exhaled, the smoke curled upward before it dispersed. "The lunch is ready. Can you call them for me? Let Luffy be the last one to know or it's gonna end up a disaster." Brook nodded. Sanji turned around after he flick the butt of the cigarette into the bin and washed his hand. Brook then makes his way outside, and Zoro bumps into the skeleton, earning an apology from the swordsman.
"Sorry. I didn't see you there."
"It's okay! I also don't see you there! It's not like I have any eyes to begin with! Yohohohoho!!." Zoro just ignored the skull joke before he perked up when he saw the variety of foods on the table. He makes his way to his usual seat.
"Oi, cook. I need booze." Sanji immediately turned around, irritated. "You damn moss, there's so many foods in front of you and you demand booze?." Zoro shrugged, still demanding his booze, and folded his arms before his chest. Sanji sighed as he rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"You're lucky I'm in a good mood today, fucker." Sanji leaned down and took out a bottle of booze from the floor pantry. The galley's door opens again, this time, Nami comes in. Sanji puts the booze on the counter immediately, earning an 'oi' from Zoro before he twirls until he's before Nami.
"Oh, my sweet angel from above, to what do I owe the pleasure of your presence today? Is there anything I can help you with?."
"Oh, Brook told me the lunch is ready," Nami said as she made her way to her usual spot. Sanji immediately grasp the front of his shirt. "UGH!! To have you eat my handmade food that produce with love, it would be my honor of life, my princess." In a flash Sanji glared at Zoro when the swordsman makes fun of him.
"Pfft, produce with love~"
"Wanna fight, mosshead?!."
"Wanna give it a go?!."
"Yes, yes. Thank you, Sanji. Can I have a plate, please?." Sanji immediately twirls away to the other side of the table to grab the plate for Nami. Now, other people starts flowing in. Franky first, before Brook, Usopp and Jinbei followed suit. A cackle before Usopp stumbled down on the floor when Luffy crash onto him.
"Oi, Luffy!! You will ruin the lunch!!." Sanji scowled as Luffy just walk to his usual seat, laughing. Robin then come in with Chopper in tow from the sick bay. "Smells good in here." Robin said, smiling. Sanji bow before her.
"Mademoiselle, when I have an angel like you in my mind, everything I cook turned heavenly." Said claimed, earning a soft chuckle from Robin. The other members started dig in, Luffy started eating his meat. "That is very sweet of you, Mister Cook."
"Of course, my lov—."
"Oi, Cook. My booze." Robin also made her way to her usual seat now as Sanji and Zoro start bickering. Usopp yelled when Luffy took his sandwiches from his plate, Jinbei tried to calm the long nose sniper down. Franky cackling when Luffy's long hand hit Chopper as Chopper in the middle of chomping down his warps before he shouted in pain when Luffy's fist snapped to his face. Robin watch in amusement, Brook sipped his tea as Nami sighed in exasperation.
"For fuck sake, guys, I just want to have a peaceful afternoon."
.
Luffy and Chopper were sleeping on the grassy deck, while Usopp was fishing alone on the rail and humming a few distant tunes. Zoro was in the crow's nest, probably training with his dumbbell, Jinbei was with Nami, discussing possible routes and weather for the next few weeks. Robin was tending to her flower bed, accompanied by Brook who was tuning his guitar, and Franky was deep inside the Thousand Sunny's belly in his workshop.
Sanji on the deck behind the galley, fingers on his lips as a cigarette lit up between his fingers as he inhale, letting the warm fumes spread inside his lungs before he exhale. He takes his sweet time inhaling again, eyes closed, cracked open, revealing a soft deep blue eye when he exhale. Smokes curled up before it dissipate before the wind. Sun slowly descent, dying the sky soft dark blue and pink, making Sanji perks up and reminds himself to start dinner in five minutes.
He flicks the cigarette's butt to the ocean below him after he finished before he made his way to the galley to start the dinner.
.
Luffy was the first one stepped on the shore. He started running around with Chopper, squealing in excitement. Half awake Zoro yawned loudly, earning a glare of disgust from Nami, before he stand up and walk away to the galley, probably want more booze and annoyed the cook.
"Luffy, Chopper, don't play around too far, okay?." Robin said, gained a thumb up from Luffy. Chopper chasing behind him, Usopp slowly descent from the Sunny's stair, looking around the seashore. He look over his shoulder to look at Robin who followed him behind, a duffel bag on her back.
"Seems like it's inhabited island! We can take a rest here!." Robin about to answer before Franky hollered from the deck. "OUW!! Then it's time to test our creations, Usopp!." Usopp perks up.
"Oh!! The air tent!."
"Let's go fetch it, Usopp! Robin, try to find a good location for us to set up the tent!." Robin chuckled warmly when Chopper hit her calf, sprouting a hand to hold him when he's about to fall. "I will try to find a place that far away from cannibals." Earning a gasp from Usopp, shuddered.
"You evil woman!! Stop doing that!!." Usopp shrieked before he climb the stairs again, followed Franky to his workshop. Luffy land besides Robin, follows her to scouts the beach. "I saw a waterfall right behind that big shrubs. Seems like a beautiful place for me." Chopper nodded.
"Oh, then let's go check it out. We have to make sure no cannibals present or we will die." Luffy tilted his head in question as Chopper now started running around in fear.
.
"Ah~ My Lady! Seeing your beautiful fa—"
"I want booze." Sanji immediately turned around to kick Zoro's head but Zoro hold his ankle instead. Zoro clicked his tongue in annoyance as he let go of Sanji's leg.
"Why the fuck you're always here, you damn mosshead?! Stop spreading weeds in here!." Zoro ignored him and sit on the seat by the isle as he sighed.
"Booze."
"Can't you talk properly?."
"..."
"...Fine!! Here's your goddamn booze!! And get out of here or I will ask Usopp to use the weedkiller!." Zoro grinned in triumph when he got his hand on the bottle. He was about to pop it open before Sanji speak up, grinned amusedly.
"Just letting you know there's no booze for you tomorrow." Zoro immediately turned around, glaring down at the smug cook.
"You ero cook!! Don't you dare!!." Sanji smiled in fake pity and shake his head as he shrugged, making his way out of the galley. Zoro's glare follows him.
"The floor pantry can only store that much. There's other things that much important that your fucking booze beside the wine for cooking. Chopper also said to stop from drowning your fucking gut and poison your fucking kidneys with booze. You won't make it past forty, y'know?." That earned a growl from Zoro. Before they know it, both of them started bickering.
"Stop fighting!! We just arrived at goddamn island, for fuck sake!!." Nami yelled from upper deck. Nami already in new clothes. She's in a dark blue shorts short, wavy hair in ponytail, sunglasses on top of her head, fringes frames her beautiful face and a yellow thin bikini with small flowers motive littered on it, showing her under boobs.
''M-Mellorine... I might die like this..." Sanji staggered as Zoro now started walking away, chugging his booze happily. Nami pouted and furrowed her eyebrows suspiciously to Sanji.
"Sanji, stop picking a fight with him, okay?."
"I CAN BARK FOR YOU TOO!!." Nami sighed before she smiled with fake sincerity. "Thank you~" Usopp who just emerge from below deck saw the scene and look at the twirling Sanji and Nami worriedly, furrowed his eyebrows. Franky besides him laughing. A couple of things in their hands, seems like tools for the said air tent.
"OUW! You should be a dog, Sanji!!."
"I'm worried for his mental health getting manipulate by that sea witch." Usopp said worriedly, watching the hurricane Sanji go wild over the winking Nami, laughing Jinbei behind her, before he ushered Franky to go to the shore. When he get down to the shore, he throw a worried glance to the happily chugging booze Zoro next.
"I'm also worried with this stray booze lover green dog."
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A DOG?!." Usopp look away, feign innocent. At the same time, Robin, Luffy and Chopper emerges from the tall shrubs, a few metres away from them.
"Oiii!! Usopp!!! I found a place for us to playy!!." Luffy shouted. Chopper jumped happily beside him, chanting words as 'waterfall' and 'camping'. Usopp walked closer, Franky and Zoro followed behind. Zoro about to walk away from them but Franky put him in line. "It seems like no cannibals on this island... I actually expect them to appear one or two..." Robin said.
"GAHH! STOPP!!." Usopp yelled. Franky show them a thumb up.
"That's good, Robin!! Me and Usopp want to try our new invention! Inspired from the floats Luffy used!." Luffy and Chopper perks up."Is it fun?!." Franky pondered a bit before he answered. "We'll see because it's for tent and bed for camping."
"Then it's suitable for the clear spot we found. It's beside the waterfall and it got a spot that can fit around four to five tents, I think. What do you think? Wanna go check it out? It very close with water source too." Robin asked. Usopp weight up the option.
"Yeah, we definitely need to check that place out. It sounds very nice. Zoro, go cut down trees on the other side and bring it here when you're done. Your skills is very useful for that. Go hunt something for later. Be a good boy and don't get lost, okay?" Zoro just grunted, walking to the opposite way still chugging his booze.
"THAT WAY!!." Usopp yelled, showing the right way. Zoro immediately bristled.
"YOU SHOWED THE WRONG WAY!!."
"IT'S YOU WHO'S GOING THE WRONG WAY!!." Franky just laughed it off before asking Robin to show where's the spot. Robin followed behind, Chopper in her arms as he whined about the hot weather. Luffy sling his arm around Usopp's shoulder as he laughed.
"Zoro is an idiot!." Zoro stomped away in embarrassment, chucked the bottle to Usopp's head when the latter cackled, earning a loud laugh from Luffy.
.
"Chopper! Can you help me bring this to the dining tarp?." Chopper excitedly said 'Yes!' and helped Sanji bring the evening snacks under the big tarp, a designated place for them to eat. They're now already under on the place for their camp. The place is so beautiful. A big waterfall and then a cool deep river, Luffy already deep dive in for almost an hour now. Trees canopy over them. A tarp for Sanji's kitchen right beside the waterfall, easy access for fresh water. A few metres away from the kitchen tarp is the dining tarp.
A big tarp hanging wide to cover from the sunlight and rain. Under the tarp, there's a big dining table, Usopp''s creation, with each person's chair. Another tarp and then a big carpet for their comfort as the floor. In the middle of the table, there's a utensils container for them to use and a fresh brewed coffee. It is Robin's favourite space as she's in the middle of drinking her coffee while reading her book silently. Only when she heard Chopper's voice, she looked down and smiled.
"Robin, can you put this on the middle of the table, please?." Chopper asked cutely, Robin smiled with mirth. "Of course." Their conversation continue when Chopper asked what book she read, Robin answered.
A few metres away from the previous tarp is the girl's tent tarp.
One big air tent for the girls and a big tarp to cover the air tent. Franky also test to pump the air bed and it successfully expand. Since Franky make a few of it, he put one in the air tent and a few outside for the boys. Nami arrange the pillows and blankets for the boys inside, asked them to come pick it up when it's about time to sleep. The tent have a very big door that Nami and Franky rolled it to the side. The inside of the air tent is cosy. A bed in the middle of the tent, a window Franky created with a mesh cover to assure the wind flow. On the tent floor is a big carpet Nami bought from previous island. Usopp also create a few portable shelves for Sanji's cooking spices and Robin's books. He makes two portable closet for them to put their clothes in, one inside the tent, another one right outside the tent for the boys easy access, earning a praise from Robin.
Beside the girls tarp tent are two large tarps that got sewn together and extended to each side, creating a big shade for the boys air beds. Franky pump three airbed and arrange it under the tarps. The tarps have walls each side , using another tarps. Another tarp is used for the floor. Nami said they don't need to use her brand new carpet because they will end up make it dirty. Brook agreed.
Their campsite looks half circular, facing the river with a bonfire between the campsite and the wide and deep river. Usopp created bunch of fire torches and stick it around the campsite. "Ohh, this looks cosy, Usopp. Franky's air tent and air beds also quite useful!" Jinbei said, praising both hardworking men. Usopp give him a thumb up.
"Anything to make us comfortable!" Franky shouted from afar, 'SUPER convenient!!.' , accompanied with Luffy's laughter. "This is so much fun! We have to do this more!." Zoro grunted in agreement. Both of them on their own floats, Luffy draped over the floats as his legs sways gently, breeze caressed his soft hair. Zoro chugging another bottle of booze, sighed in satisfaction, he said it's a reward for his hard work collecting the firewoods. Sanji disagreed though.
"My beautiful ladies!~ The snacks for you both angels is here!~ Have a taste of my new recipe, only for my beautiful angels from above." Sanji bring the snacks over the dining tarp, bowing before Robin. Chopper on Robin's laps as he now munching the new arrivals snacks. Luffy already jumping around, spraying waters everywhere. Nami hit him on the head, earning a long whined from the captain."You're making the place wet, idiot!!."
"Thank you, Mister Cook." Sanji swooned. "Anything for you, my darling!!." Sanji then turned around.
"Oi, bastards. Snacks." Jinbei, Franky and Usopp walked towards the dining tarps while Brook now walking beside the dripping wet Zoro. Zoro looked forward and saw Sanji. "Cook, towel."
"HUH?! Who do you think I am, mosshead?! Your wife?! Go take it yourself!!." Zoro stared at him for a second before he slumped. "Tch, it doesn't work." Sanji immediately screeched and now fighting against the soaked Zoro. "What doesn't work, bastard?! You look like a wet dog!!." Zoro slapped his feet away, now grinning with his swords out.
"Come, Ero Cook!."
"G-Gah!! You sounds like a pervert!!."
"Hey! That's rich coming from you!!."
The other members just watched the fight. Robin doesn't care as she wipe Chopper's mouth with napkin, Franky besides her feeding her the snacks as he munch the snacks too. Jinbei, Nami and Brook sat on their seat while drinking the coffee, discussing the geography of the island. Seems like the other two want to go on an adventure which Luffy excitedly claim want to go. Usopp cheering for the cook and swordsman.
"I'm full!!." Luffy yelled before he elongated his rubber arms, latch on the slippery rock before he shouted. "GUM GUM NO ROCKET!!." Luffy snapped over the two bickering fighters and bring them along with him to the deep and cold river, causing the cook and the swordsman punch the captain's head.
"IDIOT!! NOW I'M WET!!." Sanji yelled in frustration. Luffy whined as Zoro slowly swim and climb onto the floats, ignoring the angry cook. Sanji grumbled as he climb over the edge of the river, shivering when the wind caresses him. "You damn motherfucker... I still have to cook dinner..." Sanji mumbled more things as he walked away, Usopp calling over Luffy to show him his new inventions.
.
A few hours later, the sun slowly descent, Luffy, Chopper and Usopp sleeping on the soft and plush air bed, designated for the boys. The winds caresses their skin softly, making Luffy bury his face on Chopper's fur, leg across Usopp's waist. Robin walked closer to drape them with blanket, chuckled softly. She walk towards the captain and caress her fingers through his soft hair, untangle any knots, earning a soft sigh from the boy.
"How cute." Robin giggled. Nami smiling, standing beside the crouching Robin beside the air bed. "He can be cute when he want to be. Such a shame such a cute face end up with the most stupidest, loud mouth person ever." Nami sighed.
"It's that personality of his that we're here now, aren't we?." Robin chuckled.
"True. Hmph, this idiot captain."
Sanji watching from afar, defeated. He's in the middle of cooking dinner, halfway done when he saw the girls flocking at the boy's makeshift tent, giggling about their stupid captain. "Ah~ My lovelies... That darn rubber doesn't deserve you both's attention..." Sanji sighed dramatically. A nudge from the side makes him looks beside him, now feeling more irritated when he realised it's the swordsman. "May I help you, lost weed?." Zoro grinned.
"Did you forgot my kiss today?." Sanji rolled his eyes before he peck on Zoro's lips, put his cigarette on his lips again. Zoro grunted. "Cook, that is not a kiss." Sanji sighed. "What more do you want, mosshead?" Zoro pouted.
"I want it to be longer."
"... You're being unreasonable, weed." Zoro slouched, started strutting weakly towards the tent, Sanji follow his movements in exasperated. Jinbei yelped when Zoro accidentally bumped into him. "Ah, sorry Zoro. What happened to you?." and the damn weed answer Jinbei like normal. Sanji sighed, leaving those two be as he continues with his cooking.
Brook and Franky in front of the burning bonfire. Franky fixing something in his hand while Brook play something to go along with the peaceful and serene atmosphere. "I name this piece "Serene Tunes"." earning a praise from Franky. "OUW!! You did a good job, Brook!."
The sun now replaced with the moon. After dinner, Brook decided to grace them with his new piece. Usopp and Zoro helped Sanji by the river to clean the utensils and plates before place it into a drying rack. Usopp left after he offered to bring the rack to the kitchen's tent, leaving Zoro and Sanji together by the river.
"Moss, I'm cold." Zoro immediately check his forehead for temperature, Sanji unconsciously lean over the warm palm. "You don't feels warm." Sanji glared at the swordsman. "Of course you didn't! You're warm!." Zoro's hand hang beside him again before he intertwined their fingers together. Zoro then kiss the back of Sanji's palm, making the cook already flushed cook reddened more.
"You damn mosshead... Why are you being all lovey dovey, huh?."
"Hmm... I just want to appreciate the treasure you have. This hands create so many delicious food for us, hm?." Zoro hummed. Sanji rolled his eyes. "Do you want me to kick your ass, bastard?." Zoro chuckled.
"Nahh, I rather eat your ass instead." Sanji immediately slapped his shoulder. "You damn pervert..." He scowled. He then lean on Zoro's shoulder, arms warped around Zoro's biceps, eyes travels to Zoro's jaw. Sanji then kiss the warm shoulder before he lean his cheek on it again and close his eyes. "I'm tired..." Zoro run his fingers over the golden strands, earning a soft sigh from the blonde.
"I think we should go to the bed." Zoro recommend, earning a soft groan. "With all those bastards there? I don't think so... I also have to clean the kitchen later." Zoro kissed the top of his head.
"Cook, I can help you, you know? I'm one hell of a kitchen cleaner myself." Zoro said, smugly. Sanji chuckled. "That is very sweet of you, Mosshead." They stayed like that for a few seconds before Sanji let go of his hold on Zoro, relief when a few pops can be heard when he stretched. "Do you know your way back, bastard?." Zoro grunted.
"Shut the fuck up. I can go back myself." Sanji chuckled before he ruffled the green strands and started making his way to the camp. He twirls when he saw Nami and Robin in a pajamas, start to proclaim his undying love. Zoro smiled and shake his head softly. 'That damn idiot.'
.
An hour later, only Brook, Franky Jinbei still up while the boys already asleep except for Sanji and Zoro. Sanji walk closer to the stray moss before he nudged his feet. Zoro looked up at him. "Wanna go explore?." Zoro grinned. "Mkay."
"Gentlemen, we'll be back in an hour. Don't be alarm if we're not back after an hour, though." The men just grunted in response as they're deep in their chats. Sanji then intertwined his fingers with Zoro and half dragged the swordsman with him, his other hand bring a basket with him.
When they arrived at a beautiful small lagoon by the beach not far from the camp, Sanji take out a picnic mat, a few lanterns and light it up with his lighter and he scattered it around them. He put rocks on each corner of the mat to prevent it to keeps folding by itself, though the wind is not very strong. The moon is very bright tonight, shone against them brightly but the lanterns makes them see easier.
"Oh! It's a date, hm?."
"Idiot."
"Hey, I've never had a beach picnic date, okay?."
Sanji chuckled before he intertwined their fingers again. "Wanna go swim?." Zoro looked at him ridiculously. "At this time?." Sanji shrugged.
"Why not?." Now it's Zoro shrugging. "Oh, well." They started peeling their clothes and gather their clothes on the mat. Sanji shuddered when the cool water touch his feet and suddenly Zoro hug him from behind. "Let's go." He started dragging Sanji as he protest.
"W-wait! It's cold!." Zoro kiss his hair then the crook of Sanji's neck. "You coward, you're the one who insisted." Sanji pouted before he turned around and peck on Zoro's nose. "But it's cold." Zoro pondered for a moment before he grinned darkly.
"...I don't like that smile. I don't like it at all."
"I have a suggestion."
"It is involved with both of us fucking eac—?."
"Yes."
"..."
Sanji groaned. He then look at Zoro silently for a few second, still pouting, but start his move by kissing Zoro tenderly. The soft kiss turned into an addiction as now they laps their tongues over each other. Soft moans from Sanji makes Zoro deepened their kiss. "I miss you..." Zoro said breathlessly, now plant kisses all over Sanji's face, jaw and collarbone. Sanji sighed softly before he kiss Zoro's cheek lightly. "I miss you too, moss."
"What a pet name to use at this moment."
"Shut up. I can call you whatever the fuck I want." Zoro kiss him again on the lips. "You're lucky I love you, Cook." Sanji smirked in triumph. "I'm so lucky to have such a handsome swordsman to fall in love with poor me." Sanji teased and earning a kiss on his nose.
"I love you too, Zoro."
After that, soft giggles and whispers filled the lagoon. The moon brightly shine over the beach as the two lovers dances, love and lust got mushed together. Water sloshing around, winds slowly caressed their soft strands of hair, lips spills intimate hushes and tunes.
.
It's their last day here. The Log Pose already been set by the magnetic field yesterday night. Nami announced they should get going the next afternoon since their supplies started to run out and it's gonna be a few days to reach the next island.
It is past dawn now, sun didn't rise yet but the sky lighten up bit by bit. Nami and the others still sleeping. Robin already drinking her freshly brew coffee with Brook under the dining tarp. Sanji already up, preparing breakfast for the crews. He dances across the kitchen like a professional he is, setting up each dish for each crew's diet. It is their last day, after all and Sanji want enjoy it to the fullest.
After the breakfast, the crews slowly helping each other to packing up their stuff. Sanji already packed his stuffs, utensils, pans and spices in a big box, just waiting to be put inside a carriage, Usopp and Franky's creation. Jinbei with Chopper in his human form bring the the folded tarps to Sunny while Franky inflating the air tent and air beds. Usopp diassembling the portable closets and racks and will assemble it back on the ship especially the portable spices rack for permanent use in the galley. Robin use her power to help Usopp. Luffy, Zoro and Nami already on the ship. Nami in the crow nest to set course for the ship later while Zoro and Luffy seems like want to avoid extra work as now Zoro peacefully sleeping under the mast, Luffy perched on the ship's head, eating the previous breakfast, a big piece of meat he hide in his pocket.
An hour and everyone already clean the campsite and now on Sunny, Luffy with little patience just want to set the course already. Nami ordered the men to unfurled the sail to set sail. After a while, the ship slowly move to the much deeper water and started to get faster when the wind push the sail. Luffy's cheerful laughter fills the ship as the others back with their chores, Jinbei controls the helm.
Bit by bit, the previous island disappeared from their sight now they were on another adventure to another island.
