Inviting Sanji

On the morning, Johnny shouted "Brother Luffy, Brother Zoro, Brother Usopp, Brother Nami, we've arrived"

"Why am I a brother?" Nami sighed at her fate

"Oh," As for the other three, they showed a surprised expression.

Everyone walked up to the front while Luffy was already there sleeping previously. Johnny extended his arms and said, "What do you think everyone?"

"Wow, this is amazing" Everyone shouted except Zoro.

While they were sightseeing, they saw another ship near them.

"The marines!" They shouted

"They are not going to attack us are they?" Usopp was scared while withdrawing towards backward.

"Hey! We're the Pirate here" Johnny said while hiding half of his body

"Look! Someone is coming out" Yosaku said

A man with a small scar near his chin appeared with his fist covered in iron. He looks at Luffy ship and said "Never seen that pirate flag before" Then he continues "I'm the lieutenant of marine headquarters known as ��Iron Fist Full Body'. Who is your captain? Name yourself"

"I'm Luffy and I'm the captain of this ship." Luffy straight up introduce himself

"And I'm Usopp" Usopp also introduced himself

"Wait a minute. I have seen you guys. You are Johnny and Yosaku, small pirate hunters, right? Did you get caught by them?" Iron Fist Full Body lieutenant said while looking at Johnny and Yosaku. This made both Johnny and Yosaku pissed and attack Iron Fist Full Body but they were both defeated by him.

"Hey! Luffy what happened?" Zoro wakes up from the sleep and walks towards them. From the middle of the ship, he saw Marines and asked Luffy "Captain, do you want to finish them up?" He said so because he saw Johnny and Yosaku beat down.

"Sink them" Iron Fist Full Body lieutenant ordered some seamen and start walking away.

"Luffy they are trying to fire a cannonball at us" Usopp got scared and cried at the Luffy.

"You should just finish them fast and meet us at the restaurant" Luffy looked at the Zoro and said then he suddenly remembered something and looked at the Usopp and said "After Zoro finishes his fight, bring him straight to the sea restaurant. Never in a million year leave Zoro alone while traveling anywhere"

"Luffy, are you saying that I can't even find a big restaurant that is in front of me" Zoro angrily shouted at Luffy, his face was blushing since Luffy caught his weakness in a single point and he doesn't want to admit it.

"Yes," Luffy straight up answered and walked away with Nami.

"Boom" At this moment, a cannonball was fired at them.

"Now I'm pissed" Zoro took out his sword, and sliced cannonball in half and jumped at the marine ship to fight and relieve his mood. Usopp also jumped at a marine ship though he didn't fight anyone. His job was to guide Zoro.

While they were fighting,

Luffy and Nami were slowing reaching near Baratie. At this moment, Nami asked, "Luffy, how did you know about Zoro so much even though you just met him a few days ago?"

"Didn't I say I run intelligence office? Since I choose you as my crew member, it is my duty to know you guys at least. Of course, I won't mention anything private unless you want to say it to your whole crew"

Hearing this Nami heart was in conflict, she doesn't want to believe but what Luffy said until now made no choice but to believe him. She was currently holding a bounty poster, she hesitantly asked "So you know about my past too?"

"I'm sorry" Luffy bow 90 degrees and said

"It's is okay" Nami never blamed Luffy, so she didn't hesitate to forgive Luffy for looking at her privacy.

"Thanks" Luffy touched his head and said in low voice then continued "Nami, you have to remember. Not all Pirates are bad and not all marines are good. Everyone has their own ambition. They do what they think is right. So in this world, strength is the foundation of everything. You have suffered a lot in the past and it will be hard to change yourself. You have hidden all those pain in your heart." Then he paused for a moment and again continued "But from now on, I promise never to let my crew suffer such pain including you."

This statement, even real Luffy realized when he lost his brothers when he reached the new world. He hid every pain in his heart through his crew still realized. But this time, he already knows everything, he knows about the foundation of this world. That is why; he trained hard just after reaching this world.

Nami also realized Luffy's sentence. She finds it hard to stop tears from her eyes. She then looked at the boy with a straw hat in his head. Then, she rubbed her eyes and said "Yeah"

"Let's go" Luffy signaled Nami and drop Anker on the sea.

Johnny and Yosaku were still lying on the ship.

Nami and Luffy went inside the restaurant.

Both of them entered the restaurant and take a seat at the corner. There were five chairs and a round table. After a minute a blonde guy in gentlemen suit arrive and asked "What would you like to eat, sir?" His tone was very respectful.

"Please bring the best food and wine for four peoples also, can you sit with us? I want to ask you something." Luffy eyes were shining when he saw a blonde guy, without a doubt this was Sanji.

"Sure, please wait for a moment" Sanji nodded and went back for order.

"Captain, are you going to ask him for crew members?" Nami asked sitting in the next chair.

"Yes and also cooperate with me in a while?" Luffy said in a serious look, seeing his look Nami understand in a flash. She nodded her head and kept waiting.

After five minutes,

Sanji arrived with foods and start serving. Then Luffy signaled him to sit down, after that Luffy began to ask "I wonder if you want to be a pirate?"

This question surprised not only Sanji but Nami too because she didn't think Luffy would invite this guy without hesitation but since Luffy had already chosen then Nami couldn't say anything.

"Are you a pirate?" Sanji was full of surprises; he didn't think this guy would-be pirate. He looks nothing like a pirate.

"Yes but I just started a crew so we don't have many members. I am the Captain of the Straw Hat Pirate. This girl is our navigator. We also have a sniper and a swordsman. They are currently fighting marine outside. I did have some opportunity to invite other members but I felt we weren't destined, so I didn't bother inviting them. But here, I am feeling destiny sharing with you. So, do you want to come on my ship?" Luffy explained, he also explained his feeling though this made Nami confused a little now she didn't raise a question.

Sanji was silent; he didn't think someone will invite him and saying he was destined with him. Suddenly, a man with a long beard and one leg came there. He also heard their conversation, he looked at Luffy and said "You sound like Roger"

This sentence also made Nami and Sanji shocked though Nami didn't know what kind of character was this man word 'Roger' alone made also like dreaming. She never thought someone will compare her Captain with Roger. You should know Roger was a Pirate King. He was someone, everyone looks up to but couldn't catch up.

Sanji was even more surprised because he knew this man's character and he never thought, he would give someone such a high evaluation. He looked at Luffy closely trying to find what makes him different than other Pirates?

As for Luffy, he laughed, looks at his hat, and said "While back, someone said the same thing to me."

This man with a long beard was obviously Red foot Zeff. He looked at that straw hat and found it familiar but he couldn't remember it properly. He shakes his head and said to Sanji "I think it would be best if you join this crew and leave"

This made Sanji fired up, he shouted at Zeff "Old man do you think with your words. I'll leave. I am a cook here in Baratie. There is no way I would go until you recognize my cooking." Then he looked at Luffy and said "Sorry but I can't go until this old guy recognizes the taste of my food."

"Ahh, It's okay. I'll stay here for a while until then try hard to get recognition and also realize your dream because without a dream, even if you come in the ship. I won't let you" Luffy already this was going to happen, so he didn't mind this. He just waves his hand and starts eating.

While they were discussing, Zoro and Usopp also arrived. Usopp saw Luffy and Nami eating, so he shouted "Luffy, you're Captain that doesn't mean you can eat here while we fight. Isn't it right, Zoro?"

"Usopp doesn't lie. I know you didn't fight single marine. But I have already ordered your food. Dig in guys" Luffy was chewing meat with a fork when he said these words, he knew Zoro wouldn't mind such work more than that, this is very happy to fight.
