** warning : long chapter**

(Y/N) grabbed the telescope Zoro handed out for her take, walking up to where the railing was as her brother and Zoro stand behind her now. She placed the scope up to her left eye, glaring through it to spot who was trying to attack them on the Marines boat.

Her jaw drops in disbelief seeing who was standing with Koby on the other boat, a bright and excited expression taking over her features as she pulled down the telescope, and exclaimed out, "Grandpa!"

"Grandpa!?" Repeated the three crew members including Luffy who went to hide his slightly shorter figure behind his sisters in fear, as she laughed joyfully still looking through the glass at the older male.

Zoro gentle took her elbow in his grasps to direct her body to him, her peering up at him through the scope that had him deadpanning and pushing it away, "Did you just call that guy Grandpa?" He asked with a look down at her, just as another cannon sounded, the iron ball hurdling their way now.

All of them prepared for the worst seeing the object coming towards them, but luckily it just narrowly missed the ship and sunk down into the ocean instead, creating a wave of water that hit some of the pirates on the ship.

As this happened she stumbled back a bit into Zoro's chest, making him catch her by the shoulders, and her eyelashes blinked back the salty water that landed on her from the splash the cannon created, as she glanced from her freaking out brother to their grandpa Marine.

.......

Towering palm trees their fronds swayed gracefully in the ocean breeze of Windmill Village, formed a natural canopy that offered shade and shelter from the intense sun. The sand beneath her feet was pristine, a brilliant white that gleamed like pearls in the midday sun.

The waves that lapped gently at the shore of the beach, were unlike anything that no one has seen before. They were a kaleidoscope of colours, shifting from deep blues to vibrant teals and purples, as the waves moved with a rhythmic grace.

(Y/N) was walking along the tapestries near the edge of where her home village was, the girl having gotten lost again when exploring with Luffy but he wasn't here either.

She hums a song Shanks once sang to her, and the crew, as she opened a part of the leaves leading to the sands, waddling towards the sparkling blue ocean and gasped in awe at the view.

A small giggle left her lips feeling the cold water run up her skin, and wiggled her feet around at the strange sensation of the wet sand beneath her.

Her head perked up hearing the sound of birds screeching, and looked back to see a baby turtle cowering under tree roots, as birds hovered above waiting for their prey.

She makes a small noise noticing the poor creature trapped under there, a frown making its way over her features as she made her way over to the turtle. Pulling down a large plant leave from above, and used the leave to cover the turtle as it makes it way towards the sea, while the birds fly around.

A bird snapping its beak lands right near their path beside her legs, causing her to huff out glaring at the animal, and waves her leg at it to scare it off, "Shoo!"

Another one appeared from behind when she was busy with the first, nearly picking up the turtle from the sand if it wasn't for her making crazy sounds, and waving her arms around yelling, "Bad bird! Go away!"

The baby turtle landed on its back when the bird nearly got it, (Y/N) helping it back to its flippers gentle as it coos at her and continued on its moving until it reached the ocean safely.

She claps with an excited giggle seeing the turtle now back in the water swimming around, and dropped the leaf onto the sand. The oceans waves began to pick up a bit now, her watching in curiosity as it lights up for a second before parting, a beautiful looking fox carving that was in a rock being revealed.

Her eyes light up at the strange object she's never seen before, not thinking twice as she stumbled out towards the open patch by the water, and grabbed the rock in her palms. She gently traces the old design of the fox with her fingers, smiling more widely at the faint glow resonating in the carved fox's eyes and cooed curiously.

The sun seemed to shine brighter on her as she held the ancient relic, and the fiery breaths from it set the ocean's surface aglow with a mesmerizing shade of orange. It was as if the sun had poured into the sea, and now its molten essence danced upon the cyystral waves.

Each swell that rose from the depths around her bore the radiant warmth of fire, doing so more when her hand hesitantly went to gentle poke the surface moving in front of her. Liquid flames danced around (Y/N)'s figure in her spot between the open space of the ocean, that flickered and danced with each sway of her finger into the waters surface.

A giggle escaped her mouth with a nose srunch as the water tickled her skin, holding the fox structure in one hand and the other was inside of the oceans surface, wondering why it followed her every move so easily.

"(Y/N)!" A familiar accented voice yelled out in the distance, followed by her brothers crying voice of her name and footsteps coming her way, which made the ocean jerk back from her hand now.

The water travels up her arm towards her hair, causing her to giggle some more sweetly when it washed over her head, and made the (H/C) locks all damp now. She tries to push it away playfully, but was met with the water just splashing her some more.

She stumbles a bit when the ocean swoops her up in the blazing, glowing wave, her face being covered by her wet hair so she couldn't see anything. The ocean carried her onto the sore by the wave, as she plops onto the ground with a small grunt, and in the process ended up dropping the fox carving back into the no longer parted sea.

Garp in his yellow shirt outfit rushed through the plants near the ocean bank, before gaspig when he noticed her where she currently was sat, as Luffy quickly trailed behind him and cried out happily spotting his sisters safe and sound.

"(Y/N)!" He ran up toward her almost tripping onto the sand, before he tackles her into a massive bear hug that had her yelping and giggling returning the embrace, arms going around his back reassuringly.

"There you are kid, I was staring to worry." Garp sighed out in reflie at his youngest granddaughter not harm, making his way up to the hugging siblings, and plucked her up into his arms to place her on his hip, "Why are you even out here in the first place?"

She blows the wet hair out of her face which actually sounded like raspberries, making him brush it back for her gentle, "I got lost.... and uh, I-I saved a turtle!" She chirped out happily, and rested her head on his shoulder humming to herself again.

Garp just sighed knowingly at her airheaded ways, placing a hand behind her head to keep it in place, as he grabbed Luffy by the collar to hull him up also. Before he took them both back to the village, his eyes shifted into a darker glint as he stared at the ocean gently swaying, and saw the familiar fox carving glinting amongst it.

.......

Suddenly another shot was fired from the Marine ship in front of them, the sound echoing around as this time it was aimed directly at the Straw Hat's ship, "Hit the deck!" Usopp yelled in warning, and all of them took cover.

(Y/N) snapped out of her memories from her childhood hearing the loud noises, panicked shouts escaping her as she went to use her powers to protect them, but instead was taking by the shoulders by Zoro to protect her.

His body shield hers with her back against his chest, both turned away from the fire but once it landed, the force of it sent the group flying, as wood splattered everywhere since the cannon rammed into it.

More cannons were heard falling into the ocean as it splashes, and the group regain their footing once the dust and wood had stopped breaking everywhere. Though the Marines, aka Garp wasn't finished yet.

Her hands were over her head to protect the straw hat instead of herself, but Zoro's body was doing that job as his body was mostly placed over hers on the deck. Groans escaped them trying to get back up, with him rolling into his back now instead of stomach, as she got helped up by Luffy

"Everybody okay?" She breathed out in question to her crew, bending down to heave up Zoro carefully by the shoulders as he stumbled a bit surprised, and muttered his thanks to her lowly.

"I think so." Nami answered also out of breath from her spot near the wheel, her hands grasping onto the wood like her life depended on it, which it did right now.

Usopp popped up beside her from the deck now, his face twisted into a fearful one, "No. Not okay. Not even close to okay." He ranted out frantically waving his hands around.

Luffy shared a look with his sister still being held by one of Zoro's arms, as she nodded in confirmation making Luffy place his foot on a cannon, and pointed a finger at the Marines, "Usopp, fire back at them!" He yelled their first shared order to the crew.

"Or how about we sail away as fast as we can?" The said male cowardly offered timidly, and motioned with his thumb to the ocean behind him, earning a scolding look from Nami who stood in front near the railing.

(Y/N) snapped her head up towards Usopp hearing that, her hair briefly flicking Zoro in the face making him scowl annoyed but didn't move from keeping her steady, "Run from the Marines?" She asked a bit appalled, and glanced back at the other ship, "Normally I wouldn't provoke violence, but we can't run this time!"

Luffy nodded in agreement from his spot still near the cannon, holding his fist up so his thumb pointed upwards and his sister bumped hers into his, "Now, Nami trim the..." He stumbled for words, before placing a hand on Usopp's shoulder, "the sail thing. Let's sink their ship."

Her (E/C) eyes glanced back up to Zoro's stoic face standing closely behind her, giving him a sweet smile of gratitude before joining Luffy, and Usopp with loading the cannon to attack the Marine ship.

"We don't have time. They're stealing our wind." Nami went to shout her warning out through the chaos, her hair blowing in the fresh breeze that was traveling through the ship, "If they pull up alongside us, we're finished."

"You're the navigator, Nam! Do something." The other girl cheered encouragingly, turning around briefly to send her a cheeky thumbs up, and a toothy grin before helping the other two position the cannon.

Nami released a bit of a frustrated noise at their captain's stubbornness, before looking to Zoro standing on the lower deck, "Zoro, sheet in and hard to port!" She yelled pushing the rudder of the ship left, and grunted.

He listened to the instructions, giving one last glance at his captain as he went down the stairs. Luffy peered curiously up to Usopp beside them fixing up the cannon, and questioned, "You know how to load a cannon, right?"

"Of course. I've loaded thousands of 'em." Usopp held one of the balls in his hand warily, and the other was gripping the end of the cannon, gulping knowing he didn't know how to work it, "Uh, this must be a different model than I'm used to."

Zoro paused his mid walk remembering he didn't know the way to port, seeming like he couldn't tell from left or right, as he looked back up at Nami, "Which way is part?"

"The left!" She growled irrated at the crews lack of oragnstntion, both hands now on the ships rudder to try and push it more left, "Usopp, load the cannon in the barrel. Light the fuse. Then get the hell out of the way!"

He went to stand up with the cannonball ammo in his hands, trying to quickly place one inside before it slipped from his grasp to the deck, as all the others went rolling down the ship also.

"Usopp!" (Y/N) exclaimed in worry watching this sisution take place, stumbling up from her crouched spot with her brother and chased after him with the falling cannonballs.

He tried to grab a few blindly from the floor as the rest ammo rolled past him, and all the way down the stairs leading into where Zoro was tying off the ropes of the sails, "Ooh!" Usopp winced out, as Nami groaned and Zoro gave him an unimpressed look.

"Don't sweat it, Usopp." (Y/N) reassured gentle crouching down to his level, and placed  hand on his back smiling sweetly that had him returning it bridely, "We still have plenty of fire power." She pointed proudly to herself, then her brother, the other two, and back at him giggling.

Before any other words could be spoken between the growing best friends, the sound of a familiar Marines voice talked over a transponder snail, "Pirate vessel, by order of the Marines, lower your sails and submit to my authority."

Her face hardened up at that, slowly stand up from next to Usopp to stroll next to Luffy who had a determined expression over his features, "Never!" The siblings both yelled aggressively in sync, knowing damn well their grandfather wouldn't kill them, well at least not her.

Over in the Marines ship where Garp was standing at the front of the deck, he was feeling a sense of pride seeing how strong his granddaughter and grandson has grown up to be, and prayed that he would get to hug her again even after all the difference they shared. Afterall, they were family still even if they were on opposites sides.

"You better protect my darling daughter, you brat." He grunted out to himself aiming this at Luffy's glaring figure on the Jolley Roger, and picked up a cannonball in his hand easily, "Have it your way."

He pulled his arm back behind him before throwing the cannonball forcefully towards their ship at top steed, which instantly had her exclaiming out to her brother, "Luffy, get ready to stop it! I'll do the rest!"

Without needing an explanation from her, and the fact he trusted her with his entire being, he goes to expand his stretchy body like a balloon, and caught it in to momentarily. Seeing that (Y/N) jumped up onto the white railing, and signaled for him to bounce it back now.

When it was released from his balloon like stomach, she raised her arms up above the head as a coluem of water followed her movement from the water. Catching the cannon ball inside of the water, and thrusted her fists out to send the explosive with even more force behind it, taking them all by complete shock seeing that now.

The water and cannonball slammed straight into one of the Marines sails, creating a rain down of water onto them from the hit. It exploded afterward also, and it sent the sail crashing and breaking onto the deck.

She gasped in slight fear watching that happen to her grandfather ship, not really meaning for that much damage, and glanced down at her trembling hand. Slipping back off from the railing, a yelp left her when a pair of arms easily caught her by under the arms, and her wide eyes met Zoro dark, but somewhat soften ones.

Without any words spoken between them he carefully stabilized her up by the waist now carefully, touch lingering a bit spotting the tremble in her hands, and went to step back a bit once she was up straight.

Though she was soon tackled by Luffy into a massive bear hug, a strangled noise leaving her lips as he wrapped his stretchy arms around her many times. He squished her against him with their cheeks pressed together, and giggled proudly spinning her with him.

"That was amazing!" Usopp cheered staring at the celebrating siblings on the lower deck, gaining a small smirk from Zoro who glanced back out at the ocean now, "You saved us guys!"

"You didn't tell me you could do that." Nami stuttered out in complete surprise, eyes wide in amazement staring at (Y/N) as she couldn't believe that their captain could control that many elements. It had her brain wandering places about a certain lost prophecy, but decided to leave it alone for the time being.

"I did't know we could." Luffy answered the orange haired girl in disbelief also, pacing his sister down next to him gentle as she remind quiet, and stared at her bracelets on her wrists to keep her nerves under control.

Usopp ran down the small set of stairs to the pair from his spot beside Nami, grabbing their shoulders as he laughed loudly, and began to celebrate by jumping around in a circle with them cheering.

(Y/N) and Usopp were making funny faces at the fading Marine ship they were leaving behind, before turning to each other and shared a high-five while giggling amused.

"Nami, get us out of here." Luffy ordered happily wrapping his arms around the two's shoulders, and they moved side to side a little bit resulting in more shard laughter.

"On it." She grunted in acknowledgement also smiling, as she steered the ships rudder again, and made the ship fade away into the incoming fog up head leaving the Marine one way behind, "Let's disappear."

.......

Thick tendrils of fog clung to the vessel of the Going Merry like spectral hands, obscuring the once-familiar sighs and the sounds of the open sea. The air was heavy with moisture, and every surface glistened with dew, giving the ship an ethereal, almost ghostly appearance.

Nami was still steering the ship to safety while Zoro checked over the damages, and Usopp was on the look out for the police after them, "Can't see the Marines anywhere."

"Can't see anything in this soup." She mumbled in agreement leaning on the rudder, "What we need is a place to lay low, wait out any reinforcements they send after us." She points at her navigation gear in frustration, "My charts are useless in this fog."

Zoro leant his weight on foot with his hands resting on his swords, and inside his pants pocket, "What did (Y/N) or Luffy say?" He questioned not seeing them, and furrowed his brows not liking he couldn't keep an eye out for her.

"They are up on the bow, but I think he moved to inside." Usopp answered turning back to the two over his shoulder, and scrunched his nose up a bit, "None of them have said anything since we hightailed it."

"Well, somebody needs to talk to either one of them." Nami pointed out glancing between the boys, and pushed her equipment up onto the barrel more, "About this and the other thing."

"What other thing?" Zoro asked completely lost, and didn't see the problem she was blubbering on about, as all he worried about as they were away from the Marines now.

She gave him an blank look, and rolled her eyes at his stupidity, "Oh, gee, I wonder." She remarked sarcastically, before speaking to them both now, "The vice-admiral-of-the-Marines-is-my-grandfather thing."

"Oh, that." Usopp trailed out squinting his eyes, as he held onto the sides of his overalls and shrugged his shoulders, "Yeah.... I don't really know them that well, yet."

"Doesn't seem like a big deal." Zoro intervened seeing no point in the topic, because if (Y/N) wanted to tell them or him about her family it was her choice, no theirs and he would respect that, even if he was a tad bit curious.

Nami sucked in a breath through her teeth, leaning her head against her arm as she looked to the male, "You're her first mate." She hinted hoping he would understand, "Kind of seems like that falls under your job description, hhm?"

The two of them nodded their heads at Zoro now staring at him, as he sighed to himself heavily, "Fine." He grunted through gritted teeth, before walking off towards where he spotted a familiar (H/C) hair through the fog on the ship.

She was sat all by herself now since Luffy went inside to find some food, as she would sometimes push up air from her palm to blow away the fog around her, and fiddled with the material of the straw hat now off her head.

His figure came up to stop just behind her which had her pausing hearing him, as he goes to gentle bonk his sword hilts against the back of her head, "Hey princess, how you doing?" He rasped his hesitant question.

Her nose scrunched up a bit at the annoying nickname that she knew would stick, and looked straight ahead into the fog, "M'fine, Zoe. But my stamina took a hit during the battle." Her voice got a bit quieter at the end, and lifted up her slightly less trembling hand, as she clenched it shut tight.

He hummed lowly throwing her a concerned gaze from behind her, as he took a few more steps to be beside where she sat now, and asked once more softly, "About the battle, you wanna talk about it?"

A look of surprise crossed her face hearing that coming from him, not going to turn around knowing she'd probably embarrassed herself more, "Nope, I'm alright." She chirped sweetly, and added on quickly, "Thanks though, Zoe."

"Okay, good talk." He mumbled a bit sarcastically before unexpectedly slipping off his green bandanna, and placed it onto her hat for her to grab it shocked as he walked away back to the others.

She pulled down the material that belonged to him in her palms delicately, gazing down at it with wide eyes as she slightly rubs her thumbs over it that has been on him since forever.

Biting back her squeal, she tied it around her wrist with the other bracelets before standing up, hat on head as she suddenly caught a whiff a delicious smell traveling through the breeze.

"Hey! You guys smell that?" She questioned loudly gaining their attention, as her brother came hurdling out of the captains room also smelling the sent, and began to sniff the air like she was.

"Smell what?"

"There's something on the breeze." The siblings both claimed in sync at Nami's question, turning to each other with matching grins as they sniffed the air, "Smells like butter. Soy sauce. And meant!"

Usopp walked over to the giggling pair now knowing there was food somewhere in the fog, "I can't smell anything." He complained holding onto his belt, and scratched his forehead with his fingers, "Look, guys, playing follow the smell is fun and all, but we really got to get out of this fog."

"I know, but me and (N/N) smell food," Luffy continued on now peering out from the ropes tied to the sail, as his sibling was twirling around happily in her spot, "which means that there's someone somewhere cooking."

The Going Merry continued to advance slowly through the fog until it was out of it, the two captains now sitting on the sheep head acting like true navigators, thanks to their noses' for their great sense of smell.

"Five degrees starboard!" She yelled out the direction sniffing, almost falling off the sheep head if it weren't for Luffy grabbing onto her leg, "No! No! Never mind, three degrees back to port."

"Add food to the equation and suddenly they know how to navigate." Nami mocked amused, and rolled her eyes while steering the ship to where they directed, as they were now coming up to something in the distance.

Zoro was leaning on the rail under where his captain was sat incase she fell off, as his eyes spot something glowing in the fog which appeared to be a red light, "What is that? Is that land?"

"Can't be. There aren't any Islands anywhere near here."

The siblings both place the side of their hands up to their foreheads to see what was ahead better, faces slowly changing into excited ones when they eventually saw what was floating there, and shared happy chuckles.

Usopp pressed his palms into the side of their ship, trying to see also what was through the fog, and narrowed his eye confused, "What's a... baratie?"

The Going Merry finally emerged from inside the intense amount of fog, sailing into the clearer waters where there was a floating fish-shaped baratie, filled with ships, people and a little lighthouse stationed up on the roof.

They parked the ship near out front of the busy floating restaurant, seeing how it had much more stations than what was seen from a distance, and that it was packed with pirates, riches, and people from all around.

"Everyone's going to that fish ship." Zoro stated placing his boot onto the side of Merry, as the crew all came up to stand near him gazing at the sight in front of them.

"That smell. I think this place is a restaurant." Nami remarked standing next to the siblings, and smiled a bit as the other girl bumped her shoulders against hers giggling.

"Then I know what we're gonna do next." (Y/N) declared sharing an excited look with Luffy, and she tighed Zoro's bandanna around her right wrist for safe measures.

"Disguise the ship so that Marines can't find us?"

"Sail back to Syrup Village where its safe?"

She ignored all those comments from her crew, patting her palm against the side of Merry gentle, "Nooo," She drawled out, grabbing onto Luffy's hand before rushing away with him exclaiming, "Let's eat!"

.......

The Straw Hat Crew entered the front entrance of the large restaurant, everyone had freshed up for the dining and now dressed well for it. (Y/N) walked in first with her brother, wearing the same outfit expect for a different shirt, and grinned brightly as she glanced around at the lively, fancy eating area.

"Welcome to Baratie. How can I help you?" The head host stationed at the booking station questioned, and smiled at them, as he was a friendly fish man.

Luffy popped back from hanging off the railing with his sister, and stood in front of the fish man, "Hi! Where do we eat?" He asked back smiling.

"Do you have a reservation, sir?" He replied in a question again cordially, hands folded together near his chest as his eyes flickered to Luffy.

"Do we need one?" Luffy tilted his head to the side innocently, glancing back at his sister for answer who was tugging on Zoro's arm, and pointed at something below while he had a deadpanning expression on.

"We're very full today." The head hosts voice brought back Luffy's attention once more, "I could put you on the waiting list. It's three weeks out."

Usopp came to the rescue hearing that, gentle nudging Luffy to the side to stand beside him, "Maybe you want to check your book again." He leant his arm on to platform where the said thing was, and motioned to the siblings knowingly, "You wouldn't want to turn away the future Kings of the Pirates, would you?"

"And who are those, sir?"

"Monkey D. (Y/N) and Monkey D. Luffy." He pointed at the duo, gaining a bright smile and a nervous wave in response, "Perhaps you've heard of them?"

The fish man sucked in a sharp breath of air, and fixed up the papers on the station in front of him, "Well, in that case, we'll find a table."

"Yeah! I knew it." Luffy celebrated with Usopp going up towards the railing again, and didn't hear the worker mumble about waiting three weeks for a table.

Nami sighed heavily watching them from the back, going to walk up to the fish man now, "You'll have to excuse them. They're idiots." She pulled out a few berries from her shall purse, and swiftly handed it to the male.

"Of course. Right this way, ma'am." He took the berries from her, smiling kindly before he went to guided them to free table downstairs.

Nami raised both her thumbs up at (Y/N) grinning cheekily, as she stifled an amused chuckle by the back of her hand, and walked down the stairs attached to Zoro by the arm again. The noise got much louder the more they traveled down them, and so did the stares.

Zoro was the first to notice the pervy looks a group of pirates were eyeing off his captain with, which was followed by them licking them lips staring at her figure, and smirked wickedly at the new piece of meat.

In response to seeing that, he wrapped one of his muscular arms around her waist to pull her flush against his side, making her yelp startled. She peered up at him confused while they walked, but saw him staring at a group of males with a dark glare in warning, and a  murderous glint in his eyes.

They quickly backed off with fearful gulps catching that look from him, going back to their meals which had Zoro grunted under his breath in approval. His arm didn't let go until she was safely slid around the long couched table next to Nami, and he want to sit next to (Y/N), but his three swords kept getting stuck in the side of the wall.

She once more stifled an amused snort behind her hand watching him, going to help him out but he grumbled out protests embarrassed, and eventually sat down on her other end on the couch, making her in between him and Nami.

"Here are your menus." The host fish man placed some of them onto the white cloth table, before smiling at them kindly, "Your waiter will be here with you shortly." He tells the pirates for going off back to his station.

Usopp rested his arms on the back of the couch, his bare chest open on display as he had a pirate hat on, "I wonder what kind of food they have here." He pondered out loud in thought.

(Y/N) nodded in agreement to his words humming, as she fiddled with Zoro's bandanna around her wrist, and tapped her boots onto the carpet a bit nervously for some reason now.

The group continued to talk amongst themselves about the food and drinks, until there was the sound of a commotion near the front of the eating area. A tall figured blonde haired male, in a black jacket, blue shirt and tie was kicking up some rude customers, as he held a plate of bread.

"Good fighter." Luffy commented grinning widely, turning back to Usopp and his sister for their answers, but the latter was still not looking at anything but what was on her wrists.

The blonde haired male picked back up the plate of bread, other hand in his pocket as he walked through the building, and addressed everyone, "No cause for alarm, folks. Please enjoy your meals."

He placed the basket onto the Straw Hat's table right in front of Luffy, who instantly snatched one from the bunch, "Hi, welcome to our shitty restaurant where the only thing worse than the ambience is the food." His british accent was very present,  "My name is Sanji. What can I get for you?"

"One of everything, please." Luffy answered seeing Sanji looking at him, his mouth filled with bread as it came out muffled.

"Any drinks?" He bluntly asked with an expression that showed he didn't want to be there, and had his hands on his pants pockets, "One of our signature cocktails to help choke down your meal?"

(Y/N) finally broke free from day dreaming about random things, head snapping up having heard what was said but still didn't see who was exactly standing right there, "Great customer service, I give you ten stars." She mumbled sarcastically before glancing forward to him.

Her breath hitched greatly seeing who was responsible for taking their orders, and her stomach suddenly did a leap with butterflies. His incredible beautiful blue eyes locked with her wide (E/C) ones hearing her voice talk, as both their gaze widen now once they fully looked at each other.

Sanji's entire attitude switched up now realising what he was staring so intensely at, as a charming smirk makes it way across his face, "Apologies, madam, I didn't see you there. Would you care for an aperitif to start?" His accent dropped into a lowered tone, making it come out raspy, "We have serval rare Micqueot vintages in stock. Or perhaps you'd like a glass of Umeshu?"

Oh god! I think I'm gonna pass out- She internally screamed inside her mind, as this attractive males attention was now only just on her. She felt the tips of her ears heat up in embarrassment, and also felt Zoro shift uncomfortable beside her now.

"Y'know, something sweet for someone sweet." He finished off with a flirtatious wink, and another suggestive smirk that had her stomach flipping some more, as she squirmed under his blue gaze.

"Is something wrong with your eye?" Nami mocked finding this entire interaction amusing, and even more so spotting the scowl on Zoro's face that he was sending to the cook.

"Just blinded by beauty." He answered swiftly without glancing away from the flustered (Y/N), flicking his blonde hair back to peer at her through his eyelashes grinning.

Zoro now clears his throat loudly on purpose, before casually place an arm behind the couch she was leaning on, which earned a narrowed eye look from Sanji, "Waiter, can I get a beer and something for my friend?"

"Two beers. I usually have three but-" Usopp quickly added hearing he was taking orders, and tried to seem cooler than everyone on the crew.

"And a milk!" Luffy interrupted over his new friend, pointing a finger up into the air at the cook and waiter.

Nami hid her amused smile watching Zoro and Sanji give each other small glares over (Y/N), and sighed as she wrapped an arm around her forearm, "Nothing for me, thank you waiter."

"Three beers and a milk." He repeated the order in his thick accent, before his gaze landed on the still flustered (H/C) haired girl, and flashed her another flirtatious smirk, "And, uh, for madam?"

She fiddled with the bandanna again nervously, never really guessing she would feel this fluttery around another guy but Zoro, "A water is fine for now, thank you."

"Still, sparkling, mineral? With ice or without? Cubed or crushed?" He easily mentioned all the types of water they restaurant had, feeling the urge to impress the girl sitting in front who had him feeling giddy.

"Uh... with ice cubes, please." She answered out in a squeak, glancing up at his attractive figure through the brim of her hat and gulped to calm her nerves.

"Right away." Sanji gave her one last large, charming grin with a wink, before walking off from their table with a new happy attitude in his stepping.

Instantly all eyes around the table fell on (Y/N) who flinched feeling them, internally shirking inside of her head as she cowered back into Nami's side, and seeked cover from her instead of the other male beside her.

"Ah!" Usopp smirked mischeollsy with a knowing look shared with Nami, before leaning back into his seat on the velvet couch.

"....What guys?"

"Nothing." Zoro grunted a bit defeantislly from beside her, a sour scowl creasing his forehead as he had his muscular arms crossed over his chest, "Madam. Forgive my rude behaviour, madam." He began to snarkly mock the scene from before, now turning his dark eyes to land on her, "Would madam prefer her water in a crystal glass, or would a golden bowl be more madam's style?"

Her nose flared in embarrassment at his teasing, rolling her eyes at him as she moved out of Nami's side and pulled down the sides of the hat to hide her face, "You're so not funny." She grumbled out.

"Apologise, excuse us madam." They all mocked in sync except for Luffy who was happily munching on the bread, and joined in onto the laugher when he heard it, but stopped when he saw it was his sister they were doing it at.

"(Y/N)'s got another boyfriend!" Usopp jabbed at her smiling annoyingly, causing her to gasp embarrassed at the word choice, as she sunk more into her chair when the other three all chuckled amused.

Why did he have to hint I have two.... She sulked to herself internally, placing her head inside her hands to hide how flustered she was, and took a daring peek at Zoro, to see him already smiling softly down at her.

Seeing that sudden expression on his face had her breath hitching, heart fluttering rapidly as she goes to hide her burning up face back against the table, and just heard the low chuckle he made.
