Chapter 2 “Two Dads are Better than One.”
It was dark when Sanji woke up. He didn’t remember going to sleep but he felt more tired than when he went to sleep. Having the chibis around brought up memories that he thought he buried long ago. He should have been embarrassed that Zoro had seen him like that, caught in a web of memories. But for some reason he wasn’t, instead he felt care for and safe. Sanji would kick the Marimo in the head before he ever admitted it. Wiping the sleep from his eyes he looked around the room to find the ship’s doctor rocking one of his sons in a chair that he had never seen before.
“Oi Chopper what are you doing here?”
“Sanji, you’re awake.” The reindeer smiled. “I just finished checking over the babies.”
“Are they okay? They were exposed to the elements for hours.” The cook got up and checked on to the chibi still in the crib.
“They both are healthy; having yours and Zoro’s fast recovery genes has helped them. Physically this one looks like you because his hair is mostly blond and just a slight twinge of green. I think you might have held this guy the longest. The Dr. Kurai said that the longer a parent holds the baby within the first hour of life, stronger the DNA impression.”
“That would explain why this little one looks like the Marimo. He even seems to have a slight tan. Have they been fed? I didn’t mean to sleep that long.” Sanji picked up the green haired chibi as he began to fuss.
“Zoro fed them both about an hour ago. Robin helped show him how to change their diapers. I hear it quiet entertaining.” The tiny reindeer giggled.
“I would have paid a million berries to see that.” The cook smiled as he patted a burp out of the chibi. “So where did the rocking chair come from?”
“Franky made it. He is also working making them a secure crib so they won’t slide around in your foot locker.”
“That’s great I’ll have to make him his favorite Grape cola to say thanks and some banana muffins for you. Thanks for making sure they’re healthy.”
“Shut up you bastard I don’t need your compliments.” Chopper giggled.
Sanji just chuckled as the Baby Marimo opened his eyes. Looks like the chibi was going to have his color eyes but the shape and the serious look he was getting was pure Zoro. Looks like his kids were going to be two of the strongest on the Grand Line with the fiercest determination. But unlike The Shitty Swordsman, he was going to teach his boys manners and to be perfect gentlemen. The world could only handle one ill-mannered Marimo.
“You know, you should give the chibis names so Dr. Kurai and I can fill out the birth certificates.”
“Yeah I got at least one name but I’ll have to talk it over with the Shitty Swordsman first. I don’t need him to throw a fit because he doesn’t like the namesI picked. Come on Chopper let’s take these little guys into the kitchen I got to start dinner.” Sanji said as lifted the blond chibi out of Choppers arms.
“How are you going to cook with the babies in both of your arms?”
“I made them a little pouch to sit in when they were napping earlier.” After placing the babies into the pouch he placed it on his back striping across his chest. “This way they can feel my heart and they are safe from any grease splatter.”
“Wow you’re a genius!” Chopper exclaimed as he followed the cook into the kitchen. “How do you know so much about babies?”
“That’s because the person who took care of me as a baby told me.”
XxXxXxXxXxXx
The sounds of meat frying and vegetables being chopped filled the air of the Galley. Although they were short on supplies Sanji made sure no one went hungry. The Chibis snoozed in their little pouch comforted by the sound of their father’s heart beat.
“Yohoho! Are these the chibis?”
“Don’t wake them Brook. They need their rest.”
“Yes I heard. They put me on watch since I scared the Doc when he was brought on board. Such a lonely job without even a cup of tea.” The Skeleton sighed as he sat down at the table.
“Well tea will be ready in a minute I got my hands full. Oi Marimo I know you’re out there! Get in here and set the table.”
“Hn. Where are the kids?” Zoro grumbled as he entered the galley. He had to remember to stop napping outside the kitchen the cook always seemed to know when he was there.
“I got them don’t worry, just set the table.”
“Hn.” The swordsman began to gather the cutlery briefly glancing at the sleeping twins in the pouch. They were cuddled close together drawing on the comfort from the cook’s back. It the brighter light of the kitchen he could see the changes of the chibis since they were first brought on board. The blond chibi seemed to have green highlights in his hair and there was a tiny curl to the edge of his eyebrows. He smirked at the mini Curly brow and future lady charmer.
They may grow to be smooth talking like the cook but he was going to make sure they grew to be strong men. Men, who could stand strong, on their own and for each other. There was no doubt in his mind that they both will be fighters but it was a toss up on who will would be the kicker and who would take up the swords. He would make sure to try and convince them swords were better, at least when the cook wasn’t around. The last thing he wanted was a kick in the head.
He hadn’t been too keen on the idea of having kids at first, let alone having them with Sanji; but the idea was growing on him. Zoro always thought that he would have kids later after he became the Greatest Swordsman. Maybe start a dojo and probably adopt because there was no way he’d find a woman he could tolerate long enough to have sex with. Women were loud whiny and manipulative. Aside From Kuina who had been his best friend he really didn’t understand them. He didn’t want to either because he could really do without the headache.
Another mystery he was trying to figure out was the cook. He didn’t understand the man and his constant flirting. Sanji was a hell of a fighter and an amazing cook, but he would rather cut out his own tongue than compliment the Baka. Zoro noticed that the cook seemed to distance himself from everyone without anyone noticing. The only reason he noticed was he made a point to study all his opponents whether they were the enemy or his sparring partner.
This afternoon was a small glimpse into the real Sanji Black-leg. The Sanji he held that afternoon was not the foul mouth shitty cook he knew, but a younger softer Sanji that was deeply hurting. It brought out his protective side. He wanted kill whatever was hurting the blond. Then there were the scars on the blond’s back that the swordsman never noticed before. But then again Sanji was rarely out of his fussy suits and if he was it was because he was bandaged from injury.
The truth was Zoro never really hated Sanji; the guy was the closest thing he had to a best friend on the ship. So he cared about what happen to the curly brow and lately the swordsman seemed to be noticing little things about the cook he hadn’t seen before. The Blond man was wearing down and didn’t seem to be as happy as when he first joined the crew. Now with the twins here there was this whole new side of Sanji that just confused the hell out of the first mate.
“SANJI! FOOOOD!”
“SIT DOWN YOU MONKEY! You get nothing to eat until the ladies are seated and served.” Sanji scolded as he walked to the dinning room carrying plates on each arm and a salad bowl on his head.
“Yo, Cook I finished the bed for the Chibi Bros. I’ll install it after dinner but I’ll have to move back your wall a bit and shifted your bookshelf to the other side.”
“That’s alright; just how long will take?” Sanji severed the food and held out the chairs the ladies.
“Usually about three hours but if Long Nose helps I can finish in about an hour.”
“Sure I’ll help. I’ve built cradles for babies all over the East Blue!”
“Really?” Chopper eyes were bright with belief as the ship’s Sniper began to regale his tails of making cradles for kings and queens.
“Good, I’ll keep the chibis out of the galley and out of your way.” Sanji smiled setting out the drinks.
“So have you thought of any names Cook-san? You can not keep call them chibis forever.” Robin smiled as four arms sprouted out of the cooks back and took each chibi out of the pouch and then handed them to her and Zoro.
“I know I’m thinking about it. I have one name in mind but I need to think of another one. I never thought I’d have one kid let alone two.”
“They are my kids too don’t I get a say?” Zoro complained.
“They aren’t like your swords. They don’t need scary names like Wado Ichimonji or Kitetsu III. They need names that brings out their personality and that the world would remember. The two newest Blacklegs are going to change the world.” Sanji smiled as he took Baby Marimo from his Marimo father and nuzzled the soft green hair.
“They are going to be Roronas! If you get name them they are going to carry my last name.” the swordsman growled restraining the urge to draw his sword for one of their classic fights.
“You said you didn’t want kids with me, so they are going to have my name.” the cook snapped.
“Cook-San, Swordsman-san, I suggest you compromised. You are both the parents to both of them and always will be.” The Archeologist smiled at the waking blond baby in her arms. “I think they should share your names. I know that whatever names you choose will go well with both last names.”
“Robin-Chawn is as wise as she is beautiful.” Sanji crooned with a few floaty hearts dancing around his head.
“Hn. Focus wise guy you don’t want to drop the baby.”
“Shut up and eat Baka. If I wasn’t holding mini Marimo I’d kick you.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Zoro waved off the cook before taking the blond chibi from Robin.
“You guys knock it off. After reading through the logs of the doctor’s ship I calculate five days before we reach Hope Island. Turns out Ganju was circling ten islands surrounding Hope in an effort to lose the Marines. Also this gave them a small window to return the doctor and his niece.” Nami stated. Since the confrontation she had time to think about how things having been going lately. She was frustrated and depressed. On their last adventure the crew was caught be a psycho temptress named Akane.
Akane was a leader of a village of Amazons. She took the men and was going to give them into slavery to her worthy warriors and keeping Luffy for herself. It was up her and Robin to get the guys back. It was not only a physical battle but a psychological battle as well. Akane challenged Nami’s worth by asking how much control she had over her men. Did they obey her or was she so weak that she followed them. She faltered a bit but stood her ground. Robin on the other hand was oozing confidence and strength and this impressed the Amazon queen. Her opponent wasn’t much of a challenge and was defeated easily so release Zoro, Usopp and Franky to her. Nami had to fight harder against her opponent and just barely won back Luffy and Sanji.
After they left the Island Nami was overwhelmed with doubt and insecurities. She began to order the crew around more to gain her sense of control. In reality it just made her look bitchier than normal. All the crew members stopped listening to her except for Sanji. The cook was the only one that still obeyed her orders so she tended to over work the poor man. Now Sanji was father and that meant she had lost her control over the only member of the crew who was practically her slave.
“That’s wonderful Nami-swan. We can restock there since we’ve been running low for the past week.”
“Oi, Curly-brow we have plenty of fish.”
“Since, when Marimo?”
“This afternoon I put a few that I caught into the aquarium.” Zoro shrugged as he continued to eat with one hand while he held the blond chibi nuzzling his neck with the other. He didn’t see the shocked look on the cook’s face as he figured it was no big deal.
“Uh, that’s great thanks.” Sanji was surprised. The Swordsman had never brought in a catch unless he was kicked into going fishing. The cook’s heart warmed at the thoughtful act that he decided he would make Zoro’s favorite dessert tomorrow.
“How are we on other supplies?” Luffy asked in between mouthfuls of food.
“Low Bro. That last battle with the Marines really did a number on the Sunny.” Franky said as he guzzled some cola.
“Than it’s a plan. Sanji Dessert!”
XxXxXxXxXxXx
Sanji yawned as he finished writing in his journal. It had been a long day but he was glad it was over. He couldn’t believe that a sad twist of fate had land him with two little miracles. It didn’t matter that they were half Roronoa he loved them with his whole heart.
“Now, what to name you guys.” The blond smiled as he got up to check on the twins. “What about …”
“Don’t you dare name one of them after me Sanji.” A voice called from behind.
“Takumi!” Sanji whirled around to a Blond boy with a curled eyebrow just like his with a toothpick hanging from his mouth leaning against the doorframe. “That’s impossible you’re…”
“Dead? Yeah I am, but that doesn’t mean I can’t visit my baby Brother.” Takumi smile and his hazel eyes seem to sparkle in the candle light.
“I’m hallucinating! It couldn’t be food poisoning I check the food myself.”
“Sanji you’re fine. You know your cooking is always fresh and the best. See you fell asleep at your desk. You’re dreaming Little Prince.” The kid pointed to the figure slumped of the tiny desk.
“Oh man I am going to have a kink in my back for days.” Sanji groaned as he saw his body slumped at an uncomfortable angle. “So if I’m dreaming why haven’t you appeared before?”
“When you were little, you had a hard time accepting my death. It would have been cruel to visit you and give you false hope that I was still alive. But when you were older I couldn’t come to earth because you had forgotten me.”
“I didn’t forget you Taku, I just buried you in the past to try and survive.” Sanji sat on the bed and lowered his head in shame at his confession.
“I understand Little Prince.” Takumi walked over to the taller blond and ruffled his hair. “I know what you went through after I died. I’ve been watching over you this whole time. And I must say that you have become quite reckless.”
“I ain’t so little anymore Taku.” Sanji stood up and smiled. “And they call me Mr. Prince.”
“Ever the Dramatic one; you’ll always be the Little Prince to me Sanji. Just like these little ones. Hard to believe my baby brother has chibis of his own.” Taku sighed as he turned to watch the babies sleep.
“I know. I shouldn’t have kids; I mean what if I’m like him?”
“You are not him, Sanji.” The elder brother turned to him with conviction in his voice. “He was a drunken Bastard who to pleasure beating the shit out of anyone weaker than him. You could never be like that.”
“But Aniki…”
“No Otouto you are not Katashi Ishikawa! You are Sanji Black-leg, the greatest chef on the Grand Line and member of the Straw-hat Pirates, now. I am proud to call you my brother.”
“Hai Anki.” Sanji sobbed unable to keep the tears away anymore. He fell to his knees hugged the blond boy around the waist and cried. “I miss you Takumi and it hurts so much.”
“I know Little Prince, I know.” Takumi smiled sadly and ran his fingers through the golden lock that were so much like his own. “I won’t leave you again now that you remember me. We’ll meet again.”
“No! Don’t go!”
“It’s okay Sanji I’ll see you soon, but its sunrise and the Chibis need you. And I think your Marimo is hovering outside your door.”
“He ain’t mine and he can wait.” Sanji mumbled into the boy’s stomach.
“Yeah right but we’ll talk about it later. Time to wake Little Prince.”
“Takumi!” The Cook shouted as he woke with a start. “OW! I was right I got a kink in my back.”
“Oi Shitty cook you okay in there?” A gruff voice called from the other side of the door.
“Yeah Baka Swordsman, what do you want?” the Blond stood up and stretched out his back.
“For you to unlock the door Curly brow.”
“Why trying to catch me in the nude?” Sanji laughed as he opened the door to a blushing first mate.
“W-w-what?! Why would I want that you’re the pervert!”
“What do you want Marimo I got to get breakfast going before Luffy starts shouting.”
“I made the kids breakfast.” Zoro said handing the bottles to a surprised Sanji.
“Oh thanks come on in.” the blond stepped back and let the swordsman enter. “The crib is at the foot of my bed. They had a pretty easy night but then again they are only a day old. They’ll start crying more as they get older.”
“Hn.” In the dim lamp light Zoro picked up the green hair chibi who gave him a serious look. The cook handed him back one of the bottles and the infant latched on eagerly. He notice Sanji was feeding the blond chibi while sitting in the rocking chair. The swordsman causally glanced around the room; he had been never in the cook’s room before. It wasn’t very big about a little more than half the size of the men’s quarters but still had plenty of room for a queen size bed a tiny desk, bookshelf and the crib. It was really homey he could see why the twins would be better off staying with Sanji then in the noisy Men’s quarters. This brought up the question that has bugging since they first boarded the Sunny.
“Oi, Curly-brow, why do you get your own room?”
“Cause I asked for it. On the Merry Luffy was always raiding frig. It got to the point to where I moved into the kitchen and slept on the floor next to the icebox. It was almost impossible to get a decent night’s sleep.” The blond chibi yawned and gave a half hearted push on the bottle. The old Blond chuckled and began to burp the baby. “So what are you doing up so early Marimo?”
“I just got off night watch. I thought they might be hungry.” Zoro shrugged and began burp his youngest son. “So do they have names yet?”
“Yeah I went over them last night. I want to introduce you to Shizuka Blackleg-Roronoa who you are holding.”
“The quiet and calm child?”
“Yeah that’s what he is. He doesn’t fuss too much and always seems to have a calm look on his face.”
“Hn. Not the worst I ever heard of.” If fact he was seriously impressed by the name, but he would never tell Sanji that. “What about Blondie over there?”
“This is our eldest son Akihiko Roronoa-Blackleg.”
“Bright Prince, I should have known.” Zoro snorted as he followed the cook into the kitchen. “What is that?”
“A swinging bassinette for the kids. If they are fed and content I can put them in here while I cook. Franky put it up after he installed the crib.” Sanji set Akihiko in the Going Merry shaped swing.
“Did he have to carve ‘Baby Marimos’ on it?” Zoro grumbled as he placed Shizuka next to his brother.
“No.” The cook chuckled “But Usopp did. Now get out of my way Marimo I got work to do.”
XxXxXxXxXxXx
While Sanji cooked breakfast Zoro would sit in the corner next to the baby swing. In the afternoon the swordsman would take the chibis out to nap under the Mikan trees. And in the evening Sanji would cook dinner with the twins strapped to him enjoying the feel of the tiny heart beats against his back. This became routine over the next few days and the crew with the exception Nami adapted quickly to the twins.
Nami continued to snub the infants and make snide comments. She was irritated that she had been trying to get Sanji to quit smoking since they met only to be ignored. Now that the brats were on board he’s been sucking on those damn lollipops Vivi gave him. She felt like tearing out her hair at her lost of control over Sanji.
How was she ever going to have confidence if she didn’t have control? Nami could only hope that when they reached Hope Island they would find someone to take the little monsters and things could get back normal. Sanji would forget all about the stupid kids and get back to paying attention to her and her needs. Zoro would get back to doing his brainless weight training and leave the running of the ship to her.
“Land HO!”
“LET ME SEE!!! LET ME SEE!!!” Luffy shouted as he rocketed to top of the crows nest. “Yup I see it!”
“We made it in good time.” Takashi said as was wheeled out on to the grassy deck in newly made wheel chair.
“The Sunny is not your typical ship.” Franky said puffing his chest out in pride.
“I want to thank you all once again for bring me and my niece home. I know you could have refused and left my niece to burn on the remains of that ship then dump me on the nearest island but you didn’t. So I am forever grateful.”
“So how are you doing old man?” Luffy asked as he jumped down from the crows nest.
“I’m better. Your doctor is amazing. I know have recovered a lot faster than I would have under another’s care.”
“Shut up Asshole I don’t need you complements!” Chopper said as he giggled and danced out of the kitchen with Sanji carrying Shizuka right behind him.
“So Doctor-san what should we expect when we get there?”
“I am not sure. Koyashi raided the village looking for Su Li. So I suspect that they are under going recovery from it. I know that you will be welcomed for bringing her people home. They will want to register the twins right away all babies are granted a citizenship to give them a homeland if they want to return to Hope. We have few kids that return on their own or do to other circumstances. They are all loved and cared for here because no child should be left alone.”
“That is a wonderful idea Doctor-san.” Robin smiled softy but out of the corner of her eye she noticed that the cook seemed to pale when the subject of the returning children. She made a mental note to talk to the Swordsman later.
“Everyone get ready to land and someone find Zoro.” Nami ordered. The sooner they landed the sooner they go rid of the brats.
“I’ll get him Navigator-san. I believe he and Akihiko are napping in the library.” The Archeologist didn’t like the sneer that seemed to flash on Nami’s face whenever the babies were mentioned.
“Yeah, I chased him out of the galley he must have gotten lost on the way to the men’s quarters.” Sanji said as he left for the galley. “I’ll have Bentos for everyone by the time we land.”
“Yay! Adventure Bento!” Luffy cheered.
XxXxXxXxXxXx
Once they were docked they could see the damage that the marines had done. The Pier was the only thing not under repair. They were greeted with a small unwelcoming party waiting for them. Takashi was saddened at the state of his village as Chopper wheeled him down the pier. Sanji carried the twins in the double pouch but had them against his chest instead of his back. He was holding them close since that morning’s meeting. It was good for the kids to have a hometown but he never wanted his kids to return here unless the whole crew was dead. They were his kids no one was going to take them from him. He was going to make sure they grew up healthy, happy and loved. He was not going to lose them like he did Hikaru. He knew should die in battle Zoro would take care of them and the crew would help the Marimo raise the boys right.
“Takashi! We feared the worst! Are you alright?” the Mayor asked when he saw the doctor among the pirate crew. Then he motioned for the crowd to lower their weapons.
“I am alright Fumio. Is Akira alright?”
“I am alive Brother. Where is Sukora?” a petite woman stepped out from the crowd.
“My Sister I am sorry. She did not survive the birth. We have brought her home to be put to rest.”
“And the children?” Silent tears ran down the mothers face but she held her head high.
“They are both alive and healthy.”
“Then bring them to the nursery we have a few couples that are looking for sons. My daughter’s sacrifice will not be in vain.”
“That will not be possible Akira. The children have parents who save their lives after we were all left for dead. I have also filled out their birth certificates and they have been signed. I will be filing the papers as soon as I can.”
“Just who are the Unworthy Parents?”
“Sister!”
“That would be me Madame. I am Sanji Blackleg, cook of the Straw-hat Pirates. I was the one to touch the children because they were dying. I warmed them and fed them so they would survive. Now they are now my children.” Sanji bowed to the grieve mother.
“And who is the other parent?”
“I am.” The deep possessive voice startled both Akira and the cook. “Zoro Roronoa, first mate of the Straw-hat pirates.”
“I see.” She did not show it but she approved of the two men. She could sense a strong bond between them and she knew the children would be in good hands. “The newly repaired hotel is near the town hall; your crew will be comfortable there. My brother will show you where to go. Enjoy your stay on Hope Island.”
“Thank you Madame.” The Cook was shocked at the mother’s weird attitude as she left as quickly as she came.
“Well…” The mayor was speechless. “We are glad that you have returned Takashi and we welcome you. Now let’s get you all settled. Why don’t Takashi, the parents and captain come with me to sign the Registry? Keiko please show the crew to the hotel.”
“Hai Mayor!” a Pretty girl with raven hair smiled and Brook instantly grabbed her hand.
“Oh Pretty Lady may I see you Panties?”
“NO SHE WON’T!” Sanji shouted and kicked the skeleton back on to the ship.
“Okay Robin you’re in charge we’ll be back.” Luffy smiled.
“Of course Captain-san.” The archeologist smiled. She could feel the simmering anger rolling off the Navigator. Nami’s anger was getting worst with each passing day. It wouldn’t be long before the girl exploded and it wouldn’t be pretty for who ever was with her when she did.
“The rest of you take the remains to the temple. We will have the funeral tomorrow.”
“Yes Mayor!”
“Mayor-san about how long does it take for the Log Pose take to set?” Nami asked with a strained smile.
“It usually takes two weeks. In that time new parents bond with their children and get their ships safe for the babies to travel. But most couples have their own eternal Pose.”
“Great! That’s plenty of time to explore and get Supplies!” Luffy grinned. “Let’s go!”
As Zoro and Sanji followed Luffy and the Mayor, the swordsman noticed the tight posture of the Navigator. He had a bad feeling about the Sea Witch and would have to keep an eye out when she was around the cook. If Robin was right this was not the time to stir up Sanji with unwanted hostility.
