No One POV

"You did it!" Luffy cheers as he hugs Y/n but has his face between their chests. Y/n just chuckles as he pats Luffy.

"Y/n!!" Sanji cries as he pushes Luffy and hugs Y/n. They tried to stand up felt their legs feeling a little weak and kneeled causing Sanji to slip and fall in their chest.

"Oh, sorry Sanji-san." Y/n was apologizing but was confused as he saw Sanji kicking his feet as if he was happy.

"Move chore boy!" Sanji yells as both males start fighting. "I'm the captain here and I'm going be in those!" Luffy points at Y/n's open chest because his top came off by accident.

After expelling the Krieg Pirates, Y/n passed out which accidentally caused a panic. But after Zeff kicked everyone's head, they realized that he was just exhausted from the fight and just needed a nap.

After some time Y/n slowly blinked as he felt something cold on his head but also something heavy on him. He first looked up and saw an ice pack on his head, melting as if that had caused him to wake up. Then came what was on him that was a bit heavy, he looked down a bit and saw that Luffy, whose head was between his chest, gleaming with joy.

"Hey! You're awake! You're awake!!" Luffy cheered as he patted Y/n's chest. Y/n winced a bit at Luffy's loudness while patting his head, "Aww, have I made my captain worry?"

Immediately, in a flash, Sanji kicks Luffy which crashes him to a wall; "You idiot! Can't you see he's recovering!!"

Luffy twitches from the kick while Sanji holds Y/n's hands; "How are you feeling? Do I need to get you anything?" Y/n thinks for a bit but shakes his head, "Nah, I just needed a little nap time. Hadn't that much thrill in a while."

Sanji smiles, grabbing the ice pack while brushing some strands of Y/n's hair away. "Now I can have a better view," Sanji spoke while kissing Y/n's hands.

"Such a charmer," Y/n sits up as he twirls Sanji's hair, "A bit shocking knowing that you don't have a significant other."

Y/n, who's ignoring the swerving hear-eyes Sanji, looks around; "Where are the others? The other chefs?"

"Ah!" Luffy jumps up and answers Y/n's question, "They are off trying to fix things while you made Big Lips and his crew run away." He then turns to Sanji, "Speaking of them; since my crew mate drove them away, today is my last day to do chores, right?"

"Congrats." Sanji sarcastically responds, totally not sour that Luffy's ruining his moment.

"By the way, will you..." Luffy was going to ask Sanji but was cut off. "I'm not going! I won't become a pirate. I'll continue to work as a cook here."

"You still think you're in debt?" Y/n stretches as he asks. "I won't leave till that damn geezer acknowledge my skills." Sanji answers as Y/n thinks a bit, "Maybe that's the problem."

"Huh?" Sanji and Luffy were confused together. Y/n looks at Sanji, "You're so fixated on getting his acknowledgment. What's there to say that because of that; you're not being yourself, rather, you're trying to be 'The Next Zeff'?"

Sanji froze at the last statement. Y/n walks over to where Sanji is and looks at the ocean, "Don't think that I'm trying to persuade you to join. This is trying to see where you're mindset is at. You mention your dream of locating the All Blue, but how is it going to be achieved, if you're continuing to stay here?"

Sanji was still frozen while taking in what Y/n was saying to him. Zeff overhears this conversation between Sanji and Y/n. 'So it seems he's still fixating huh?' Zeff turns to Y/n, 'Maybe he'll be the one that will finally push the boy.'

"Well!" Y/n claps his hands, "I don't know about the two of you, but, I am hungry, and I need to find my tops."

Sanji and Luffy look and see that Y/n doesn't have his tank top or his kimono. "Wait here! I'll go find them!!" Sanji immediately sprints off as he goes to find them. "Hey! I'm going too!!" Luffy follows as he can almost hear Zeff yelling at them.

"Umm..." Y/n blinks before walking, "Guess I'll go get some food."

"Guys!! Meal time!!"

"Food! Food! Food!"

The chefs were making the food as they were all hungry from the battle. Y/n walks in as the chefs start to cheer for him.

"Amazing work!"
"Yeah! You showed them!!"
"Where are your tops?"
"Hush!!!"

Y/n chuckles a bit, "Just glad you all feel more at ease. By the way, where do I sit?"

"Here!!" Almost all the chefs were pointing at a chair but realized that another chef was sitting at the spot. "Hey move it!"

"Here's your clothes!!" Luffy and Sanji burst in holding Y/n's tops. "Oh, thanks you two!" Y/n hugs the two of them as he puts on his clothes.

Sanji looks at the chefs, "Oi! Where do we sit?" The chefs were eating their food, almost ignoring Sanji, "There're no chairs for you. Sit on the floor."

Sanji, Luffy, and Y/n immediately became confused. "No chairs? That can't be true! This is a restaurant!!"

'Did they not offer a spot?' Y/n blinks thinking he heard them right. They all grabbed their food while Y/n grabbed the nearest counter table and brought it to them, "Yeah, no, I'm not eating on the floor."

"Guess we can't help it..." Sanji starts eating as Luffy looks at the other chefs, "They're acting kinda weird..."

"Hmph! Nothing new." Sanji complains as Y/n is lost, "This isn't the first time and you're staying here?"

Patty was tasting the soup but quickly slammed the table, "Hey! Who prepared the soup this morning?!"

"Hey, I did it! I did! Isn't it good?" Sanji smiles, "I made it especially good today!"

"I can't eat damn nasty soup like this! What is this, pig feed?!" Patty gags as he wipes his mouth.

Y/n looks at Sanji, whose expression is that of someone who wants to murder someone, and Luffy continues to chow down the food. 

Sanji stands up, "Hey, is human doof not to your liking, you damn raccoon dog?"

"Ha! When it's this bad, it's art now." Patty stated with a thumbs down, "It makes me sick to my stomach!"

"I'm sorry," Sanji starts walking towards Patty, "but I'm confident about today's soup. There's something wrong with your taste buds!"

Carne started to try the soup and he gave the same reaction as Patty did. "Ugh! This is nasty!"

"I can't eat it!" Another chef started to complain, "Right, guys?!"

All the chefs slammed their spoons as they all expressed and told their opinions on the soup. All agree that the soup is bad.

"What do you think you're doing, you bastards?!" Sanji's expression is as though he needs another push and then the boat will be filled with body bags.

"You're a sham Sous Chef after all..." Patty crosses his arms. "You're just an old-timer."

"We're sick and tired of you settling matters with violence!"
"If the food's bad, we're gonna say so!"

"What'd you say?!" Veins start to appear on Sanji's body.

However, Zeff was the only one who was continuing to eat the soup. "We're seafaring cooks. Don't waste even a drop of soup."

Everyone watches as Zeff is eating the soup. Down to the last drop has Zeff finished, only to drop the bowl on the ground breaking it.

"Owner!!" The chef yells in shock and Sanji is shocked as well.

"You geezer!" Luffy and Y/n were still watching. Y/n was rather observing because he noticed Sanji's expression changing from how he was with the other chefs, compared to Zeff.

"What is this damn nasty soup?" Zeff wipes his mouth as he points at the broken dish, "It's like sludge! If we serve something like this, our restaurant will go out of business!"

Sanji grabs Zeff by the collar. "Don't be ridiculous, you damn geezer! Just how is this soup different from yours?! Tell me!"

"From my soup?" Zeff repeated Sanji's sentence. "Don't flatter yourself!"

Zeff punches Sanji in the jaw as everyone watches in shock. "O-Owner punched him..." Patty stutters, "He didn't kick..."

Sanji holds his jaw as he looks up at Zeff. "It'll be a billion years before you can give me a lecture on cooking, little brat! I'm a man who cooked on seas around the world."

Sanji and Zeff stare at each other with such intensity. But soon, Sanji ran off the door; "Dammit!"

Y/n looks at the soup and tries, now being more confused, "It's good...Why then?"

Y/n was thinking before turning to Zeff, "Did you plan this?" Luffy tastes the soup and smiles, "This soup is really good. I don't know what's up with you guys?"

Zeff nods, "Yes, we plan this. Sanji's cooking skills are recognized by everyone here."

"Then..." Y/n looks at the ground for a bit before realizing, "You guys are trying to get him to leave?"

Zeff nods as he looks at Luffy, "You were saying that you wanted a cook for your ship, right? This isn't a favor I'd like to ask for you or anything, but would you take that little brat with you...to the Grand Line?"

Luffy and Y/n were taken aback by the request. "The Grand Line...is his dream." Zeff smiles.

"Man, Owner, you made us put on quite a show." Patty sighs as he laughs a bit. Carne laughs in nervousness, "I was worried that he might figure it out of your bad acting."

"I'm gonna have another bowl." One chef went to grab another bowl of Sanji's soup.

"--Me, too!"
"--Me, too!"

Sanji overhears this from outside the restaurant. He sits on the ground as he tries to light a cigarette but the lighter isn't working. He sighed in defeat as he looked up at the clouds.

"So what do you say, kid?" Zeff asks Luffy.

"No." Luffy bluntly answers as all the Chefs, including Zeff, yells in confusion, "What?!"

"I thought you wanted a cook for your ship." Zeff recalls the many times Luffy tried to ask Sanji to join, "Or are you saying that he's not good enough for you?"

Luffy tries to answer but he starts to choke because his mouth is full of food. Y/n chuckles, "It's not that. I'm sure he still wants Sanji to join, but he stated multiple times that he wants to continue working here as a cook. Even if you guys ask to take him with us, we can't."

"So you're saying that you can't agree to it until he tells you guys himself, huh?" Zeff summarizes in guessing.

Luffy nods as his mouth is full. "Yeah. I mean, if we didn't, then it's just kidnapping." Y/n smiles.

"Well...fair enough." Zeff sighs, "But who knows if that twisted damn brat can just say he'll go..."

"It's up to him." Y/n shakes his head.

However, almost immediately, a shark arrives at the Baratie with a Yosaku in its mouth. Everyone looked at the scene in shock.

Y/n recognizes Yosaku, "He's one of those men that was with Zoro."

"Why are you alone? Where're the others?" Luffy walks over to Yosaku as he is confused. "What happened to Nami?"

"But let's take him out of the shark's mouth first." Y/n walks over and pets the shark underneath the mouth, prompting them to let go of Yosaku. Y/n carries the shark back into the water as they swim away.

"It's not that we caught up with her," Yosaku explained; "but from the direction Big Sis Nami was heading, we figured out roughly where she was going."

"I see...We can bring her back then." Luffy nodded but Y/n noticed some of Yosaku's words. "Is the destination where Nami is heading, dangerous?"

Yosaku nods, "In any case, we need your help, Big Bro Luffy. You too Big Bro Y/n. Please come with me."

"Okay!" Luffy stands up, excited to have Nami back. "Sure! I'm curious about the place." Y/n smiled as the three of them started to walk out of the restaurant.

"Wait!" Sanji spoke as they all turned to him. "We both have foolish dreams."

"Hm?" Luffy was confused at where Sanji was going with his words. "To achieve my goal, the All Blue..." Sanji spoke as he puffed some of his cigarette.

"Sanji-san?" Y/n can guess what's happening.

"Yeah. I'll come along...on your journey to become "King of the Pirates"!" Sanji declared. "Is that okay or not?"

Luffy smiles with joy, "It's okay!! All right!!"

Y/n smiles as he jumps onto Sanji and hugs him. "Thank you so much Sanji-san!!"

Sanji's feet were kicking as though he was flying and his eyes were shaped like a heart. "Hehehehehe~!!!"

"We did it!! We did it!!" Luffy jumps as he grabs Y/n's hands and the two of them dance around in joy.

Sanji snaps out of his trance as he looks at the chefs, "So that's how it is, everyone. Sorry for causing you all sorts of trouble."

"Ha! I don't like it!" Patty crosses his arms, "I wanted to kick you out from here myself. And you decide it so easily?"

Sanji blankly stares at the chef, "Sorry for making you resort to bad acting."

"You knew?!" Patty yells in shock and embarrassment.

"I could hear everything since you're all stupid." Sanji shrugs his shoulders, "That is to say, you're willing to go that far to kick me out, huh, you damn geezer?!"

"Hmph! That's right, little brat!" Zeff nods in agreement, "I don't like kids to begin with. Not a single day passed where I didn't regret letting a useless one live, you damn brat."

"Ha! Fine by me, you damn geezer!" Sanji is insulted as he mocks Zeff's facial expression. "Enjoy the rest of your life to the utmost."

Soon after getting everything they needed, the members of the restaurant let them have one of their boats. "Are you sure it's okay for us to use it?" Y/n asks the kitchen staff members.

"Of course! It's Sanji's boat." One of the staff informs them. Y/n nods as he goes to see if everyone's ready, but once in, he sees Sanji sitting on the chair looking up at the ceiling.

"Are you mourning your memories here?" Sanji jumps a bit and sees Y/n. "Yeah," Sanji nods as he looks around the restaurant.

Y/n walks behind Sanji and hugs him. "This is the next chapter needed in achieving your dream. There will be moments where you're going to make decisions and they'll be hard on you. Now it's a matter of how you will use this next chapter."

Sanji smiles, "You sound like a therapist." Y/n chuckles, "Come on, we can't guess what the captain is going to do with all the food he stored up."

The two of them leave as they all see the members of the kitchen staff looking at them. Some are trying to have a neutral face, while others (Patty and Carne) are crying their eyes out.

"Idiots." Sanji shakes his head as he goes to the boat. "You don't want to say goodbye?" Y/n asks as Sanji shakes his head, "Nah, they'll do great."

"Sanji!" Sanji's head rose as it was Zeff. "Don't catch a cold."

Sanji tried to hold himself together, shutting his lips tight, but he couldn't hold his attempt. After everything that has happened, after the sacrifices that have been made, he couldn't hold it in.

"Owneer Zeff!!" Sanji cries as he kneels. "Thank you for all the damn things you've done for me over all these years!! I'll never forget your kindness...for the rest of my life!!"

After silence and hearing Sanji crying, every one of the kitchen staff started to cry as well.

"You asshole!!" Patty cries as he tries to pull himself together. "I'll miss you, dammit!"

"I'll miss you!!" Carne cries as Sanji looks around, all of the chefs are crying. "I'll miss you!!"

"Take responsibility, dammit!"

"You idiots!" Zeff wipes his face, "Men should part without a word."

After some saying their goodbyes, it was now time to sail.

"Let's go!! Set sail!!" Luffy yells as the boat starts to leave.

"I'll see you again, you damn bastards!" Sanji cries as he waves. The other chefs waved as they were also crying.

Zeff watches the boat leave as he gives a proud smile; "As long as you don't fear even death because you have faith in yourself, you'll find the All Blue...for sure..."

Meanwhile, the Going Merry nears its destination, an island ruled by a fearsome pirate crew.
