Chapter 3 “Damned if you do, Damn if you don’t”

Sanji sat corner of the room rocking the chibis as he watched the setting sun. It had been a long and tiring day. When they registered the babies in the Town Records they made an interesting discovery about Luffy’s hero and Zoro’s rival.

Flash back

“Here we are. I need both Parents to sign next to each child’s name and then the captain to certify that they were born at sea.” The mayor smiled as he put out the Registry book for all to sign.

Sanji smiled as signed his name in the book next to Shizuka’s and Akihiko’s name. They were now officially his and he couldn’t be happier. He had to smirk at the proud look on Zoro’s face as he signed the book. For someone who was against having kids the Swordsman was doing a good job with them. Sanji felt little flutters in his heart lately when ever Zoro was with the chibis or did something thoughtful.

“Wait is this right?” Luffy exclaimed and Sanji’s heart stopped. He thought there was a problem with registering the twins. “This says Shanks father and Dracule Mihawk father but the rest kinda looks smudged.”

“What?!”

“Oh you know the Red haired man?” The Mayor smiled.

“Yeah! He’s my friend; I owe my life to him.”

“I thought that hat looked familiar. Shanks and his Husband married here just before their daughter were born. They were the most unconventional couple I had ever met. Since they were both pirates I wondered how they would raise a child. For the first 3 years they would meet here stay two weeks then switch her care from one parent to the other. Once they got their way of care set they didn’t return due to their bounties they did not want to endanger this village.”

“Shanks has a kid?!” Luffy’s jaw dropped.

“Mihawk married Shanks?!” Zoro eyes were about to pop out of his head.

“They have a daughter?!” Sanji couldn’t believe that two of the most powerful men on the Grand line would raise a sweet little girl.

“Yes.” The Mayor laughed. “She was cutest little girl with big round eyes and pink hair. She also had a gift to see things and talk to ghost. Dracule said it was from his mother side who was a well known fortune teller on the Grand line. Shanks just smiled and said it proves that she was something special.”

“Wait she had pink hair and could talk to ghosts. You can’t mean Perona!” Sanji was shocked.

“Why yes you know her?”

“Who?” The Swordsman looked confused and the cook just shook his head in disbelief.

“She was on Thriller Bark. Usopp fought her but basically scared her till she called off the ghost. She also went up against Kuma and he sent her somewhere.”

“Oh she was alright she got sent to her father’s castle.” The Mayor smiled. “She stops in from time to time and says hi or when she gets frustrated with her dad or father. Apparently she fell in on his nap and he tore up her teddy bear so she came home to Hope to cry it out.”

“Wow I can’t wait till I see Shanks! I got to tell him we met her! Maybe we should ask her to join our crew.”

“NO!”

End Flash back

Zoro walked around in a daze at the thought that his rival was not only married but had a kid too. Sanji had asked Zoro if it was the fact that Mihawk married another man that had him frazzled. The Swordsman said that it wasn’t that as he had no problem with same sex couples. This made the fluttering in the cook chest increase. It was the fact that Mihawk seemed more human than legend. It gave him a confidence that he could seriously beat Mihawk.

Sanji smiled as he remembered how Zoro seemed to walk taller after that revelation. If Mihawk could not only be married but have a family and still be the World’s Greatest Swordsman than so could Zoro. The cook could see that a weight had been lifted off the Marimo’s shoulders and it seemed that he could now enjoy being a father to their two chibis.

Now if only the ghosts of Sanji’s past could disappear that easily. The skeletons in his closets could not be buried with just a few words of encouragement. He wished it would but the truth was those scars ran deeper than the ones on his back. Sanji was great at denial until the chibis came into his life. He began to remember things that were long buried. Then his brother began to appear in his dreams. As great as it was to see his Aniki, it also very painful. Takumi was his most important person and raised him for six years before he died.

“You were my most important person too Little Prince.”

“Hey Taku. I thought you would have shown up sooner.”

“I know but you had to settle in with the chibis and your Marimo.” The Tooth pick chewing kid smiled taking the baby Marimo into his arms.

“He ain’t My Marimo I told ya! Why did you think he and I are together?” The cook glared as he cuddled his blond chibi.

“He is closer to you than any one else and only because you let him. You know and I know th0at Your Lady’s Man act is just that an act. You could never fall for a girl after what Emiko had done to us. She was never a mother to us. No matter how hard you tried you could never please her enough to love you.”

“Damn it Aniki I know what she did! I know she would never love me but I had to try for Hikaru. I may never fall for girl but I will never treat one badly because I would be just like him.”

“I told you before Sanji you will never be like Him your heart is too kind and made of gold. As for Hikaru he was never ours she wanted him to think he was to keep him from beating her. I know you loved Hikaru but you have to let him go. He’s grown now and he doesn’t even remember you and he was too little to remember me.” Takumi sighed as he put Shizuka in the crib. “Don’t dwell on the past think about the chibis and your Marimo.”

“He ain’t mine Taku.” Sanji got up and placed Akihiko in the crib with his brother. “You going now?”

“The sun is coming up so ya. I’ll see you soon but you need to talk about our past because it’s eating you up inside.” Takumi frowned as he wiped at stray tear from his baby brother’s face. “Wake up Little Prince no more sadness.”

“Aniki…”

“Hey, Cook wake up.” Zoro shook the shoulder of the sleeping cook, who was quietly sobbing in his sleep.

They were given the family suite because of their kids so it was very spacious but only one bed. So if the cook had a restless night then he would have a restless night. Sanji had fallen asleep in the rocking chair with almost a death grip on the babies. It took a lot of gentle maneuvering but, he was able to get them away from the sleeping cook and put them in the crib. After that it was easy to carry the blond to bed like he had done many times before when he had passed out at Luffy’s victory parties.

They had shared a bed before when money was tight but Sanji had always been a sound sleeper almost peaceful like. It had a calming affect on the swordsman and he found he slept better when he was next to cook but he would deny it till his dying breath. Tonight was the first night Sanji ever tossed a turned in his sleep and the first time he ever saw tears. It was like a knife in his chest seeing the blond look so vulnerable.

“Aniki…” This was definitely the first time Sanji ever call out for an older brother.

“Sanji wake up.”

“What? Huh?”

“You were upset and tossing.”

“Sorry.” Sanji sat up wiped the tears from his face and kept his face hidden from the Swordsman under his blond locks. If he had bothered to look at the first mate he would have seen the concerned look on his face. “I better check on the Chibis.”

“They’re fine I fed them an hour ago, but you’re not. You were calling out for Aniki.”

“Oh it’s nothing. I want to check on Akihiko and Shizuka.” Before he could get up a firm hand on his shoulder stopped him.

“I’ll get them just lie back down.” He didn’t like how the cook was shaking and he knew that Aniki was more than nothing. Once the boys were nestled next to him the shakes calmed to slight tremors. There were real issues hiding in Sanji’s shadows but he could wait. Right now what the cook needed was comfort that only their sons could bring.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

“So how is Cook-san today?”

“Hn.”

“I see.” Robin nodded as she and Zoro watched Sanji wandered through the market place with the Chibis in their pouch strapped to his chest. “As much as the chibis have brought out some unwanted ghosts they are also chasing them away.”

“You’re right. He had a bad night but once he held them he calmed down. He was almost back to normal when the Sea witch decided to show up at our door.”

“Yes, Navigator-san was quite adamant about stocking the ship even though we aren’t leaving for two weeks. I believe she is trying to get her control over the cook once again

“She might get him to cater to her petty needs but she is not going to get her hooks in him again.”

“You seem to be adjusting to your new family very well. You are already very protective of your sons, other father.”

“What are you getting at Robin?”

“Nothing just some observations Swordsman-san, and I think it is very sweet.”

“Hn.”

“I think you should spend more time with them. If it is one thing I noticed since I joined this crew it’s that He trusts you more than anyone else. When he is ready he will talk to you. He may tell the rest of us later he may not but if he needs to open up you will be the only one he will turn to.” The Archeologist smiled softly. She could see the fragile emotions blossoming between the two and she wished all the best. Unfortunately the Navigator didn’t see it or didn’t care. Something was making her irrational and until it was settled she would continue to abuse the cook.

“Probably. So have you found anything else about this Island?”

“It seems that the Dr. Kurai was correct they are very peaceful and want only to make childless couples happy. The girls are also content bringing the babies into the world there is no surrogate remorse that you would find else where. As for treasure it would appear that these girls are their treasure.”

“I bet the Sea-witch ain’t too happy about that.” Zoro grinned as he watched some toddlers dance around the cooks long legs. For some reason that warmer his heart and he didn’t know that meant.

“Oi! Marimo I need a hand!” The Blond called out as he loaded the shopping cart attached to Chopper.

“See he’s calling you.” Robin laughed.

“Hn. He told the doctor he would cook for the funeral tonight. You know how he is it can’t just be a simple meal.” The Swordsman smirked as he stood up.

“Yes Cook-san just loves to feed people. You better hurry he seems to be getting impatient. I’ll see you both at the hotel later.” Robin watched Zoro join Sanji in the market place. She watched fondly as the cook directed the swordsman to the barrels he need while he patted the chibis soft hair. They were the most beautiful and interesting couple he had ever seen. “If only they could see it for themselves they would happy as well.

“They will Robin. They are only ones that can make each other happy as well as miserable. I saw it the day they met.”

“Captain-san I thought you were with Long-nose and Doctor-san.” The Archeologist wasn’t easily startled but Luffy just seemed to appear out of no where.

“Usopp is playing with the local kids and Chopper is helping out Sanji before he checks on the Old man doctor. I think finding that ship was the best thing that ever happened to Sanji and Zoro. Otherwise it might have taken Decades for them to wake up.” Luffy Beamed as he sat in the recently vacated chair.

“So you believe they are good together even if they do not?”

“I knew it from the moment Sanji insulted Zoro at the Baratie. He didn’t back down and he gave it as good as he got. But what synched it was Zoro’s fight with Mihawk. Sanji was worried about Zoro and even told him to give up his dream just so he wouldn’t die. They only knew each other for a week and he was afraid Zoro was going to die. Sanji looked awfully relieved when Zoro survived. Well I knew then I couldn’t leave Sanji behind because we would be sailing with a first mate with half a soul.”

“That is very insightful Captain-san. You constantly surprise me.” Robin smiled softy.

“When you wear the face of an idiot no one sees that I’m not that naïve. Having a crew like ours lets me be happy and carefree. It also gives me an insight on my crew help them to be happy. Like how I know that certain cyborg wants to get a gift for a certain archeologist.” Luffy’s grin got even bigger at the sight of the light blush on Robin’s cheeks. “And I’ll be helping him get it later so they can be happy.”

The Captain just smiled as stood up. Robin was speechless for the first time ever. “Well I’ll see you later.” Luffy started to walk toward the Hotel but called over his shoulder. “Keep an eye on them will you? Nami is still fighting with her issues and Sanji will become a target if she doesn’t sort them out soon.”

“Hai, Captain-san.”

XxXxXxXxXxXx

Zoro was walking Akihiko back and forth in front of the kitchen breakfast bar. It seemed that the mini curly-brow was cranky and was too fussy to sit in the pouch with his brother. So now he was calmly resting in his Marimo Father’s arms.

“Chopper says that Aki-Chan suffers from reflux and he’ll out grow it. But until then he’ll be a little fussy after meals.” Sanji said as he watched the two pace the dinning room.

“That’s like indigestion right? I had that a lot as a kid growing up. It went away after I join Luffy.”

“That’s cause I fixed your diet. You guys were living off of crap and too much additives. I cook meals to balance everybody’s physiology. What I make helps your muscle development and bone strength; all very easy to digest. Otherwise your body would have given out long ago and you would still be suffering from heart burn.”

“So what about Akihiko? Does that mean that you can’t make him better?” Zoro was confused. If the cook could stop the heart burn for him couldn’t he stop it for their son?

“When they are babies there is little I can do because they are on a liquid diet. But Chopper and I are working on mixing healing herbs and formula to give him better relief. Until then we try and keep him as comfortable as possible. Don’t worry our little one is just fine.” Sanji smiled. His heart fluttered at the concern the swordsman had for they eldest son.

“Hn.” Zoro seemed to hold Akihiko just a little bit tighter but he knew it would be alright just because Sanji say so.

“Wa.”

“Okay Shizu-Chan. Let me turn the stove off and I’ll change you.”

“What was that? He didn’t even cry.” Zoro asked.

“Sure he did. Shizuka is as quiet as you and not one to complain more than once. It must be a Roronoa thing.” Sanji sigh as he took the green haired baby out of the pouch. Chibi Marimo gave him an uncomfortable frown. The cook smiled as he took Shizuka to his room to be changed.

Akihiko chose that moment to voice his displeasure of a wet diaper. “WAAAAA!!!!”

“Looks like this one is a loud mouth Blackleg.”

“You want a kick in the head you Marimo Bastard?! Now bring him in here so you can change him!”

“WAAAA!”

“Yeah, I know.” The swordsman sighed with a smile. He didn’t know why but this whole family thing made him feel good.

“Sanji! Where are you? I know you here the chores on the list I gave you aren’t finished.”

“Oh Nami-san I’ll be there in a minute I’m changing the chibis.”

Nami was fuming. She told the blond exactly what she wanted done and he had yet to do it. There was no excuse for him slacking off. He should have been done with the chores and still have had time to make her a midday snack.

“What can I do for you Nami-san?” The smiling cook appeared with the blond chibi allowing the Marimos to take their afternoon naps.

“Why haven’t you finished the chore list? I want to make sure that we’re ready to sail as soon as I get hold of an eternal pose.”

“I will get it done but I promised to make the food for the funeral.”

“Okay Sanji. I think that this has gone on far enough. You need to start focusing back to your responsibilities to this crew.”

“But Nami-san I am…”

“Navigator-san that is enough.” Robin had been watching the Roronoa-Blackleg family from the shore when she noticed that Nami was heading to the ship. She noticed that the younger girl was highly agitated and looking to hurt anyone who got in her way.

“No, Robin I have been quiet for too long. This foolishness needs to stop.”

“What Foolishness is that witch?” Zoro had been lying down in the cook’s room with Shizuka trying to take a nap when the witch came in yelling. The cook had been doing better since he woke up that morning after his restless dream. He was not going to let Nami mess that up.

“Nothing just get the work done.” Nami’s sudden anger was gone and so was she. As much as she would have like to yell and rant about Sanji’s neglect and the Brats’ interference, the memory of the katana to her throat was still fresh in her mind.

“What happened? What did I do wrong?” Sanji started to panic. He didn’t know what was going on. Somehow his Mellorine hated him. His chest began to constrict and he started having a shortness of breath. Akihiko felt his blond father’s distress and began to softly cry.

“You did nothing wrong Sanji.” The swordsman put a comforting arm around the cook. Shizuka leaned in toward his upset parent until Sanji took the chibi in his arms joining the chibi with his twin brother.

“But…”

“Swordsman-san is correct. Navigator-san was in the wrong and she should not have spoken to you that way. I am afraid she resents your children. For what reason? That I do not know.” It did not escape Robin’s notice that Sanji held the children in his arms a bit tighter. “The rest of the crew is overjoyed to have them as Nakama but Navigator-san has not been.”

“Don’t let her get to you Curlicue. She is the one with the problem not you. She gonna learn that what ever problems that she’s going through she can’t take it out on others.” Zoro was pissed. The witch did exactly what he was trying to prevent. The Cook was all wound up and shaking like a leaf. “Look why don’t you go lie down with the kids. I know you finish the main stuff and you’ll cook the rest at the feast tonight. I’ll wrap up this stuff and take it down to the Doctor’s house.”

“But there’s a lot of food I can help.”

“No you rest, Swordsman-san is right. Franky-san and Doctor-san just came on board so he’ll have plenty of help. The chibis need their nap so you go lie down with them.” Robin gently guided Sanji out Zoro’s arms and into the bedroom. “We will wake you in time for the funeral.”

“Thank You Robin-chawn.” Sanji managed to summon up one small floaty heart, before succumbing to sleep.

Once the door was close Robin was quick to use her powers to prevent Zoro from slamming his fist into the table that was loaded with food that the Cook had painstakingly made. She could see and feel the rage radiating from swordsman. “Now, now you don’t want to ruin Cook-san’s hard work.”

“Grrrr”

“I know you are upset but your anger won’t help him.”

“The Witch is hurting him. I won’t stand for it. I am the first mate I can’t let that happen. Luffy taught me if one Nakama is hurt all Nakama is hurt. I won’t let anyone hurt My Nakama.”

“I understand that Zoro.” It was rare that the archeologist to call anyone by name but the seriousness of what was happening she need the First mate’s full attention. “But you can’t attack Nami without hurting our Nakama as well. Who do you think will be hurt the most if you do?”

“Sanji. He practically worships the ground she walks on.” Once he stopped struggling Robin release the arms holding him.

“Correct. You should focus on him and your children. Leave Nami to the rest of us. While we take care of her, you can be there for Sanji.”

“Fine, I get it but what the hell is her problem?”

“We don’t know why she is like this but it started shortly after the Amazon Island. While you and the others were held Prisoner Nami and I went through trials to get you all back. Nami was left alone with the Queen for time and something must have happened to make her act this way.”

“You better figure it out because I won’t hold back if she snaps at him again.”

“Then we will make sure that doesn’t happen. Now we should get this food to the Doctor’s house. Go get Franky-san he is on deck and I’ll wrap up the rest.” Robin smiled as arms sprung up all over and began packing up the food.

“Alright, as soon as I get this done the sooner I can get back.”

“Of course. With the extra help you’ll find your way back a lot faster.” She just laughed at the glare he sent because he couldn’t deny his bad sense of direction.

XxXxXxXxXxXx

The funeral was quiet and somber but after the young surrogate was laid to rest everyone’s spirits rose as they remember the good times. Zoro and Sanji were treated as honored guest as they were the Parents of Sukora’s surviving babies. Shizuka and Akihiko were fawned over and showered with gifts.

“We’re going to need Chopper do the cart and reindeer thing.” Sanji said as he accepted another gift.

“Hn.” Zoro bowed to another well wisher. He refused to leave the cooks side or let the kids out of his sight. The twins were nestled in the Mini Sunny stroller that Franky gifted to them that afternoon. He also kept a sharp eye out for Nami. Now that he had Sanji calmed down he did not want him upset again.

“Thank you for cooking Sanji-san.” Takashi bowed. He was still healing but today Chopper said he was able to walk instead of using a wheeler. As long as he took it easy and was supported by a cane it wouldn’t hinder his healing. “I know my sister is grateful as well.”

“It was my honor. How is she doing; we haven’t seen her since the temple.”

“She is at the temple talking with the priest. This has been hard on her but she is strong. Akira is very proud of Sukora and having her laid to rest brings her comfort. Thank you for bringing her home.”

“It was the least we could do Takashi-san.” Sanji bowed to the doctor.

“Here. This was an Eternal Pose I took from one of the marines. Your Navigator seemed to be looking for one.”

“Hn. Thanks Doc. I’ll give it to her.” Zoro took the Pose before the cook could.

“Well it has been a long day I shall retire. Thank you again.” The doctor bowed to the Parents once more before leaving them alone once again.

“Looks like the feast is winding down we should take the kids back to the hotel.”

“Hn”

After loading all the presents into a cart Chopper took them back to the ship and the others headed for the hotel. Sanji couldn’t help but noticed that the swordsman did not give Nami the Eternal Pose but kept it instead. The cook didn’t say nothing about it because he was tired and the last thing he need was fight.

“Oh Kami is that you Sanji?” A voice called out causing them to stop. “It is you! Everyone thought you were dead!”

“Do I know you?” Sanji was confused and Zoro did not like the man who had just run up to them and starting hugging the cook.

“It’s me Norio. We were on the Bella-Rose together as Chore boys.”

“Oh, yeah I remember.” Sanji said as he managed to wiggle out of the tight embrace. “You were my bunk mate till I got wash overboard. Zoro this is Norio he was on the cruise ship before I met the Shitty-Geezer.”

“Hn.” Zoro hated this guy on sight. He was tall good looking with dark brown hair hazel eyes and fake smile. He was also still holding on to Sanji’s hand.

“Oi show some manners bastard!”

“That’s okay Sanji it’s late you guys must be tired. Maybe we can meet up tomorrow?”

“Uh sure. Maybe when kids go down for a nap.” The cook replied as he pulled his hand away from the firm grip.

“Kids! You got kids? Wow how time flies whose the Mother?” Norio asked in surprise. He hadn’t notice the stroller when he first laid eyes on the Blond but now he could the twins curl up asleep.

“He’s the mother, I’m the Father.” Zoro stated before Sanji could even open his mouth. He knew the cook was going to kick him later but the look of utter jaw dropping shock was worth it.

“Oh! You guys had a Surrogate. I didn’t know you swung that way Sanji.” Norio leered making the blond blush.

“Well we were only kids when we last saw each other. I guess I changed a lot since then.” He was getting nervous. His old friend was making him uncomfortable.

“Then I’m sure we’ll have a lot to catch up on tomorrow. I’ll meet you at the café tomorrow say around noon.”

“Uh yeah tomorrow.”

“I’m sure Robin or Chopper can baby-sit for us.” Zoro said through gritted teeth.

“I’m sure you wouldn’t want to hear old gossip.” Norio said with a strained smiled. “Right Sanji?”

“I’m sure I would. Cook here rarely talks about the North Blue. It will be interesting to hear what he was like as a kid.” The swordsman gave a shark like smile as he put a somewhat possessive arm around Sanji’s shoulder.

“It’s alright Norio Zoro is welcome to tag along.” The cook should have felt on edge with the two men somewhat fighting. But being held by Zoro was calming for his nerves; even if he was being an ass about it, trying to stake claim on him.

“Well then I wish you a good night.” The dark haired man took the cook’s hand once again and gave it a kiss and nodded to the swordsman. “See you tomorrow Sanji. Zoro.”

“Night.” Sanji whispered. “You can let go now Marimo.”

“Naw, I’m comfortable.” Zoro smirked as he felt the blond stiffen in surprise. There was no way he was ever going to leave his Sanji alone with that bastard, Childhood friend or not. It hit him that he thought of the cook as his and it didn’t bother him at all. “Come let’s get the kids to bed.”

“Sure.” The Blond was in a daze but let himself be pulled in the opposite direction of the hotel.
