One Piece Fan Fiction ❯ If Only They Knew... ❯ Chapter 1

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

The Straw Hat Crew was on the move.

It was a beautiful day, the kind read about in fairy tales. The sun was shining, and the rolling sea was a perfect reflection of the clear blue sky. Each member of the gang had taken up a different activity and were currently located all over the Merry Go. Luffy could be found perched precariously atop the mast, overlooking the sparkling waters around them. Zoro was sprawled across the back of the deck, sleeping away the afternoon hours. In the kitchen, Usopp was attempting to cook himself a meal, as Sanji was busy below deck, and had not been seen for an hour. Meanwhile, Nami was preoccupied with taking stock of supplies in the storage room.

"Let's see here... Two crates of fruit... We'll have to buy more at the next village... Five crates of meat... With Luffy around we'll need more than that soon..."

A knock on the wooden door caught her attention. Setting down the clipboard she had been writing on, Nami strode to the door and opened it to come face to face with Sanji. He smiled charmingly and spoke, "Nami, why don't you come with me?"

She eyed him suspiciously. What was the love-struck chef planning? But Nami was curious by nature; she gave in to the desire to follow him. He led her to one of the circular windows that looked out into the open air, only three feet above the sea.

"I want to show you something..."

Zoro awoke from his nap to the sound of his stomach growling. Sighing, he stood and made his way to the kitchen to force the stupid cook to whip him up something, but as he passed the door that led below deck, the sound of aforementioned cook's voice stopped him dead in his tracks.

"I want to show you something, Nami."

Zoro's eyes widened. Surely, he couldn't mean...

Then he heard Nami gasp. "Wow... Sanji, it's huge!"

Holy shit, Zoro's mind was racing. Silently, he beckoned to Luffy, who was looking down at him, curious as to why Zoro would be listening outside the door. The straw hatted captain leaped from the mast and landed neatly beside the swordsman, leaning in to hear what had his friend so weirded out.

"Go ahead, touch it." The resident chef's voice carried out through the door.

"It's all... wet."

Just as those words spilled from Nami's mouth, Usopp exited the kitchen. Hearing the statement, his mouth fell open and he joined his crewmates in their eavesdropping venture.

"Jeez, Nami, don't poke it! Pet it a little."

"Eek! It jumped!"

"Well yeah, it's excited. What did you expect it to do?"

The three men outside the door nearly fell over themselves. Were Nami and Sanji really...?

"Wanna hold it?"

"Sure."

"Hold it a bit tighter."

"Okay... Like this?"

"Yeah, that's perfect."

"Man, this thing is slimy... Oh! It jumped again."

Sanji chuckled. "Don't stop petting it. Yeah, just like that."

For a few minutes, no noise could be heard from within the room, then-

"NAMI!" Sanji's voice rang out loud and clear, he sounded excited. Nami squealed.

"Eww! It's all over me!"

Zoro couldn't take it anymore. He kicked open the door with brute force, sending it pounding into the wall. He wasn't sure what to expect, but it certainly wasn't what he found.

Nami was covered in sticky black fluid, looking quite disgusted. Sanji, on the other hand, was preoccupied with trying to keep a struggling octopus in his hands, a creature that was looking more irate by the minute.

The mouths of the invading crew mates fell open. What the...?

"What?" Nami asked testily.

"But you- we- I thought-" Zoro could do nothing but stutter as the conversation he had listened to began to fall into place. A scowl replaced the dumbstruck look on his face. "Forget it." He stormed off, followed by Luffy, who was scratching his head, trying to make sense of the situation, and Usopp, who looked about ready to faint.

They left the cook and the navigator to wonder as to why their companions would be so irked over the fact that Sanji had caught an octopus and wanted to share it with the object of his desires...

If only they knew...
