they make salad out of fruit? chefs, they really do think of some strange things.

what goes in them? you said pineapple.

🥰

[tangerinelike]

anything you want
pineapple, mango, strawberries,
and now thanks to you,
we have tangerines on board.

[ she's still so, so pleased about that. ]

٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-

[bigsmile]

but then what makes it a salad?
if i eat a lot of fruit does that make it a salad then?
and the tangerines look great, i can't wait to see what sanji does with them.

well i like them so it can't be all bad.
juuuust not sure where they came from. it's a bit fuzzy.

[ well. zoro can't argue with that first part. luffy's vibe check is uncanny. ]

exactly how much of last night do you even remember?

[bigsmile]

great question! i remember seeing one and picking it up.
falling over on deck coming back.
i think i went out again, maybe to get some more of the birds?

smores are sweet so we should go for something spicy.

( careful zoro, he's a chronic snuggler. )

[dexterous]

some whiskey is spicy
or we could throw peppers in

[bigsmile]

like chilli peppers?
wouldn't that turn it into pickles?

so far away. WIND KEEP BLOWING.

( please, he must know what's on this map now. )

[cartographie]

It's not going to be able to hear you over all the blowing it's doing, is it?

[ Nami does do what she can to lean the ship into it as much as she can, though it takes until sundown to reach the next island anyway. It's one she's visited before while working under Arlong's thumb, and she took decent enough notes on the layout of the town they're making port at, that the map should take him on his walking tour with very little issue.

Hopefully he at least hangs in there and helps them get settled at the dock before taking off. ]

[bigsmile]

( At least it doesn't take long for the Merry to arrive at the next island. Sundown, just as Nami had mentioned. Luffy can barely contain his excitement, hopping from foot to foot as he watches the docks get closer and closer.

Occasionally he looks over at the ship, reminding himself there's a checklist to go through when arriving somewhere, that things need to get done first. At one point he's grabbed on to the rail, gearing up to catapult himself over to the town before reigning himself in.

Checklist first. Then treasure hunting. )

Everything done?? Everyone good?? Right!

( it's so unusual to see Nami shaken in such a way that Luffy is almost lost for words. spiders were bad and so were cockroaches? he's starting to put two and two together, for once coming up with four and realising that Nami isn't keen on most bugs as opposed to specific ones.

thank everything they don't have this on the ship. )

What? ( going to sleep on the ship? Luffy blinks at the sheer determination to avoid the bugs coming from Nami. and then there's the feeling of failing a mission somehow; his navigator should be able to sleep on land without this issue and he ponders how to fix it. ) We've already paid for the rooms. Take mine, seen no bugs in there. I'll have this one instead!

[mapquests]

[once Nami cools her head and calms down, she'll reassure Luffy that it's not entirely his fault and that this isn't a mission failure. it's the inn's fault. Luffy did do what he was told and got rid of the spiders for her...]

If there are roaches in my room, then there are roaches in every room. [she lingers by the doorway, not even trying to hide her full-body shudder.] And we might have already paid but...I have a way of getting our berry back.

[aka she will be marching up to the owner first thing tomorrow and demand her money back.

worst case, she'll find an ulterior way to get what she paid back and then some. the whole point of paying for an inn is to have shelter away from the bugs and elements! if she wanted to deal with roaches, they would have camped out instead...]

[bigsmile]

That many roaches?

( Luffy can't help but voice his thoughts out loud eyebrows raising at that tidbit of info. he had no idea there would be roaches in all place if there were some in one room and he's looking around as if expecting to see them just popping out of the wall.

sleeping in his room would be no problem for Luffy but the idea of Nami sleeping on her own on the Going Merry isn't great and so Luffy nods to himself. )

Right then. You get the berry back, I'll back you up. But I gotta get my stuff first....

yes! zoro, we need to find that sea cow.
sanji said that their meat would probably sell for a lot too.
it's the perfect treasure!
thank you for your sacrifice.

[myownthing]

i'm not convinced
this is going to go well

[ or that the sea-cow even exists.

but this is his captain, so... ]

but if you insist
i'll try and wrangle her

[bigsmile]

( bless you, zoro. luffy could never ask for a better first mate. )

it'll be okay, i know it.
i just need to see this sea cow again with my own eyes.
then people will know i'm telling the truth.
also; MEAT.

( moved from here )

( Luffy pauses for a second, squinting at his messages. Sea cow. Nami. One way signs... Looking up, the nearest directional sign is graffitied with a crude drawing of what looks to be a cow mermaid. )

me too.
i don't think i should have had that third drink.
think you can find me?

[gripping]

yeah, no problem
i'll be right there

( lol )

[bigsmile]

so there's a few signs here but
i think i'm near the docks. i can hear water!

( luffy knows he's crossing a line, but how could he not with sanji describing things in such a delicious way. besides, luffy is almost convinced they'll just laugh this off and carry on as normal, right up until he reads the response, his blood running hot in a flash.

a good captain would keep common sense in check and not doing anything reckless or stupid. it just so happens luffy never did go by those rules and he falls from his chair in his distracted state, still half imagining that mouth wrapped around his cock to be paying much attention to things like balance.

it doesn't take long before luffy is standing in front of the door to sanji's room and he fidgets, suddenly nervous. should he have texted back first? brought something from the galley? what if sanji has gone to sleep suddenly?

the more luffy thinks about it the more reckless his mindset becomes as if rebelling against uncertainty with decisiveness instead and he knocks on the door before he can give it another thought. )

Sanji?

( shit. he should have texted. )

[mouton]

[ it feels like a safe enough request based on the hints that luffy has given him so far that he's just as interested in seeing something come out of this. there's every possibility that they'll forget about this by morning and they won't speak about it again or they might not even go through with it and just laugh it off or — or luffy might not even show up. which sanji begins to consider when his text goes unanswered.

shit, did he read the signals wrong? is he now just a creep for trying to initiate a hook-up with his captain? what the hell was he thinking?

sanji's in the midst of sitting at the edge of his bed, running his hands through his hair, palms pressing over his eyes, debating the possibility of regret when he hears the tap of a knock and luffy's voice on the other side of his door.

oh.

he stands up to open it, staring at luffy on the other side before he gives her a relieved exhale, pressing his cheek against his hand holding the door. ]

Luffy.

[ his voice is gentle, offered with a small smile, before he takes a step back to open the door wider, gesturing with a tilt of his head for him to come inside. ]

i did! thank you! though i thought it was more design than art. unless they're the same thing too?

i thought everyone was being fun. really should let them know they don't need a message on my head to do that.

koby. if you don't want people touching your butt then that's fine. if you do, that's fine too. and if they do it when you don't want, then that's when we can kick them :) also you can always ask me, i'll pat your butt.

(no-one ever let this one near boozy desserts again, please.)

[kobes]

[It's only now that it finally clicks for Koby, when butt-patting is offered.]

Luffy, have you been drinking? I thought you didn't like the way alcohol tastes.
