One Piece Fan Fiction ❯ A Weird Pack ❯ Chapter 6

“Oh Sanji-kun, Luffy you're back.”
“Yes, Nami-swan. You are beautiful as always.”
“Oi Nami. Have you prepared breakfast? I'm hungry!!! I'll eat yours until Sanji cooks a new one."
“Hai Hai our idiot captain. Yes, we prepared. Come on up. Usopp has just returned before you. The log pose has been adjusted for the next island. Maybe we'll hit the road earlier than planned."
“Yosha!!! We will go to sea!!!”
“Wait a minute Luffy! I said may--- Hey are you listening? Don't go into the kitchen like that! Who am I calling? Seriously what am I going to do with you?"
“Nami-san?”
Nami was surprised that Sanji had called calmly. Moreover, they had not seen each other for several days.
“Yes, Sanji-kun?”
"Can you stall Luffy for me a little bit?"
"Why is that?"
“I have to find the stupid Marimo and Chopper.”
“If it's for what I just said, don't do it Sanji-kun. Let them have fun.”
"Not that. Luffy just brought me some sense before. I need to talk to you guys about an important matter. Moreover, both of them have not eaten my meals for several days. They longed for it.”
"Well. But I can't stall him for very long. Hurry up."
"Ok."

***
When he found the stupid Marimo and Chopper sleeping under a tree in the middle of a park, he couldn't wake them up. Fortunately, Chopper woke up when he smelled him.
“Sanji!!!”
He said and hugged him.
“I missed you Sanji. I saw everyone but you, I couldn't see you."
“Sorry Chopper.”
“What is this noise?”
“Good morning to you too Marimo.”
“What? Was it just you?”
"Get up!"
"Ha!!! You can't give me orders."
“I will prepare food.”
“Pfft. I'm coming."
"Beautiful. No disappearing afterward.”
"As I said, you can't-"
"An important topic will be discussed."
"Alright."
"Glad to hear you cooperate."
Together they returned to the ship. As always, there was a very cheerful dinner table. Luffy tried to steal the others' food, and Nami got angry with him. Usopp and Chopper made jokes, Robin laughed at them. There was only one difference. Sanji could feel Zoro's gaze on him, yet he did nothing. Whatever was going to happen was going to happen soon. He could enjoy the food for now.

***

After the food was eaten and the kitchen was cleaned, Sanji called everyone into the kitchen. The kitchen was where he felt most secure, and feeling safe was what he would soon need most.
“Sanji-kun, we are listening to you.”
When he saw that everyone was back on the chairs, he walked over to them. Luffy… Luffy had told him that he shouldn't have apologized because he wasn't telling a lie, but Sanji still felt guilty. So he had to apologize to them. So he fell to his knees and bowed his head.
“First of all, I apologize to you all.”
"Sanji you-"
“Luffy!!! I know. what you said to me. Still, I have to do it.”
“Wait a minute! What's going on? Sanji-kun, why are you apologizing?”
“Right Sanji. Nothing happened from the past few days?"
“Sanji…”
Nami, Usopp, and Chopper sounded worried. He didn't want to worry his beloved Nami-san and of course his crewmates, but...
"I'm sorry I lied to you all this time."
"What lies?"
“Oi there can only be a liar here. Besides, you said last time you weren't a liar."
“Nami! Usopp! Shut up! And listen to him!”
Sometimes he really acted like a captain.
“Thanks, Luffy. I… I actually…”
Fuck! Why was it so difficult? Just a confession… Why was it getting harder to breathe? Was the world getting dark? Fuck! He felt like he was going to faint.
“OI stupid cook. Do not rush. We are here.”
Who knew that Zoro's voice would pull him from the brink of a panic attack? He took a deep breath. He lifted his head up and exhaled slowly. He could trust them. He could trust them. He could trust them. After reminding himself of this over and over, he finally turned to them again and looked into their eyes.
“I'm not actually an alpha. I am an omega. I'm sorry I lied to you all this time. If you say you can't trust me from now on and you don't want to be in the crew, I understand."
Pure shock… All except Robin and Luffy were staring at him in shock. Wait a minute, why wasn't Robin looking?
“Robin-chan?”
“I already knew that, Cook-san.”
This time, everyone except Luffy turned to Robin in surprise.
"Did you know?"
“I also have things to apologize for. You know."
Robin had trust issues like himself. Apparently, she had studied them a lot at first.
"It's okay Robin-chan."
“Your forgiveness means a lot to me, Cook-san.”
"A MINUTE!!! WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!!"
“YES SANJI!!! HOW ARE YOU AN OMEGA!!!”
“HOW CAN YOU HIDE THIS FROM ME?!! I AM THE SHIP'S DOCTOR!!!”
“Omega huh…”
"I am really sorry…"
“But why did you hide it from us Sanji-kun?”
“Why did you lie?”
“Don't you trust me as a doctor?”
All these questions were really a headache.
“I had my reasons, Nami-san. Besides, I never told you I was an alpha. I didn't object when you thought I was alpha, and Chopper, of course, I trust you. I just… Sorry, I can't tell you that. Not yet…”
He said the last part in such a low voice that he almost didn't even hear it himself.
Despite everything, he felt that a really heavyweight had been lifted from his shoulders. Still, the tension in the environment was making him very tired and dizzy. Especially Nami-san… Since she wasn't using suppressant, her pheromones were so strong that it was literally choking the room. He was drowning.
“Shihsihi. Silly Sanji right?”
With the stupid smile of their captain, this time all eyes turned to him.
“You don't have to worry guys. He's still our Sanji."
“Luffy…”
“No matter what anyone says, Sanji, you are one of my crew and you cannot leave the crew unless I say so, you understand?”
"Of course, captain."
"Good. Now that we've settled this matter…”
He waited a while.
"Now that it's all you, will you join my pack?"
“Do you still really want me?”
"Are you stupid? Certainly."
“The others may not want me Luffy.”
“I'm sure it won't be a problem for them either. Is not it?"
“It's okay, Sanji-kun, even if I'm in for a big shock. I would be very happy to have you join the Pack.”
“Yes, Sanji. Join join. But promise me you'll let me take care of you from now on."
“It's okay if it suits Luffy.”
“Then I would gladly join your pack. Thank you very much, Luffy.”
“You are my precious nakama. It couldn't be any other way."
"I think you are right."
Luffy got up and hugged Sanji. Meanwhile, he whispered quietly in his ear:
“Actually, I am very happy that I am not alone. Promise me too Sanji. You will always be by my side.”
Returning the hug, he replied in the same tone:
“I promise Luffy.”
Hearing this, Luffy smiled broadly. After hugging for a while, he turned to the others.
“Usopp? Robin?”
“Sorry, Luffy…”
"I'm sorry too captain-san."
"No problem. Don't force yourself."
Then he turned to Sanji again and said:
“Welcome to my pack, Sanji.”
Pack... It means home... A new home...
"Thank you, Luffy."
