[One Piece] With Mr. Chef

Sanji × A Childhood Dream

You haven't been back to your hometown in ages. You meant to take a stroll around the little courtyard and reminisce about your childhood.

But you never expected to suddenly transmigrate. Luckily, a handsome blond man rescued you.

He was a gentleman, kind and considerate, and helped you perfectly when you had just transmigrated and knew nothing about this place.

You were truly, truly grateful to this kind-hearted man.

You were grateful to his companions, too, for taking in someone as useless as you.

After all, you'd been in this world for a while now and had learned how it worked.

The most important thing to know was that this world was dangerous! Take note! Extremely dangerous!

Especially in the waters where you were now. Without strength, you had no chance of living in peace.

Sanji's perspective

They had simply docked at an island on a whim, and he went ashore to gather supplies for the ship.

He was incredibly glad he'd chosen to go ashore, because he got to see that person again.

She had fallen from the sky. She was much older now, and her face was no longer as round as it had been when she was a child.

But he recognized her at a glance.

She didn't seem to recognize him, though. Why?

He knew she might not be able to stay long, just like last time, and had already prepared himself to send her off again.

When he learned she would be staying a while longer, he was genuinely happy.

Later, after testing the waters, he realized she really had forgotten him.

But it didn't matter. Seeing her again was enough.

So he invited her aboard the ship. She said she'd get off at the first safe island, but this was the New World. Things weren't that simple.

The crew's perspective

They were docked at an island for a little while, and Sanji went ashore to buy supplies. When he came back, he brought along a delicate-looking young woman.

At first, they really thought he was just helping her get to the next island.

But soon, someone noticed something was off.

Sanji seemed to treat her differently, as though they'd met before.

But there was nothing to read from the young woman's side.

Their daily routine after that was:

Watch the two of them, ship them, watch them again, ship them again.

When the two finally confirmed their relationship, the crew cheered. They'd finally gotten to see this moment!

Second person, from your perspective.

Short story. Any OOC is on me.

The blurb only gives a general idea of how things go, not the whole story. Written on a burst of inspiration.
