If you ever turn into a statue again, I'm going to find a way to take you home just to drop you overboard.

guess i better avoid that then. wouldn’t want to make our perfect navigator upset with me, you know?

what are you gonna do if just a piece of me stiffens up like a statue, though?

Depends on which piece. It also depends on how long you spend making it up to me first.

I missed you, idiot.

mmmm, one of your favorite pieces, i think? as for how long… you know i’ll spend however long it takes, yeah? gonna spend all damn night and day doing whatever it takes.

i know. i’m sorry this shitty resort did this. gonna do everything i can to make sure you don’t gotta miss me like that again.

Whatever it takes? That sounds like a good start to me.

It happened to me too. Are you still cold from it?

i have a question that needs culinary expertise.

( Undoubtedly it's going to be a really stupid question. )

If you're not otherwise occupied, and would like, of course, I would appreciate your company tonight, Sanji. What do you say?

i say of course i can keep you company tonight, shanks. what’re we gonna get up to? go out for a drink or did you have something else in mind?

I was thinking more of staying in. If you recall where my suite is? I was going to offer you my kitchen, if you want. But keep in mind we can always order in, too, if you would prefer.

might've been a statue for too damn long, but no way i'd forget the way to your suite. and hey, what i'd prefer is making you something damn tasty to eat. can't let you get away without cooking something extra tasty when your birthday's so damn near. what're you in the mood for, shanks?

Always in the mood for rice and seafood, but what's your favorite meal? Maybe we can combine these things together?

lucky for you, if i’ve got a speciality, it’s seafood. would you believe that my favorite meal’s a spicy seafood pasta? even luckier, i’ve already figured out how to make with rice. you got any good booze to go with it?

It's a good thing I enjoy a good spicy meal, as well, then. Our tastes seem to compliment each other. I do, in fact, both rum and different white wines. Suppose I could manage a cocktail while you cook, though. Something with mint.

( In the morning Sanji will find a small, wrapped bundle on his doorstep, complete with a note from Luffy. Happy birthday!

The bundle itself is a small box of cupcakes that a certain pirate captain has baked himself. They've made it in one piece, but they've deflated at some point and the icing that was meant to have been their Jolly Roger has spread, instead leaving what looks like random doodles with the occasional face here and there. )

[ It takes a bit of squinting— and some creative tilting of his head— but Sanji eventually recognizes the little faces for what they are. That, plus their deflate state, is a dead giveaway as to who, exactly, left him this present.

It’s sometime mid-afternoon when Sanji finally sends Luffy a quick message. Attached is a photograph of him holding up one of the cupcakes, a giant bite taken out of it and a massive grin on Sanji’s face. ]

someone left the tastiest damn cupcakes outside my door this morning. wanna come over and help me eat them, captain? not gonna finish them all myself and food’s best shared with people you care about.

( Seeing the photo makes Luffy's day. He's not going to be winning any Michelin stars this millennia, but the fact that Sanji thinks they're good is the highest praise ever. )

did they??? hope they leave some outside my door one day!!! you sure? they're for you, you know.

( Such restraint will only last two minutes, as Orange Town once found out. )

[ The reality is that nobody— nobody— appreciates the sentiment behind a dish filled with cares like Sanji does. Did Luffy make some clumsy mistakes? Yeah. But he can see how hard he worked and that makes all the difference. ]

yeah, it’s a mystery who it could’ve been, but whoever did it was damn thoughtful, dropping them off for my birthday. i’m positive. wouldn’t have offered if i didn’t want to share with you, would i?

[ Honestly, doing that would feel uncomfortably close to taunting, considering how much Luffy loves to eat. ]

it'd be bad turning down an offer like that on your big day. you still at your place? i can swing by.

did you get to celebrate at baratie on your birthday?
