#beta usopp

Luffy in a rut has the most insane patrolling instinct he needs to search Every Inch Of This Ship Now Right Now and he’s sprinting around the Sunny one day and practically fucking Teleports into Usopp’s workshop and Tackles him chuffing and nuzzling and grooming him because! Friend!! PackCrewLove!!! And Usopp is like How and Where Did You Come From and I Didn’t Even Hear You Come In Seriously How

But then Usopp is laughing too hard to keep complaining because Luffy is nuzzling him so aggressively they have fully tipped over onto the floor. Through his giggles Usopp (beta) tries to scold Luffy that he’s gonna put Usopp in a rut! Knock it off!! But he’s already nuzzling back so Does He Really Care? Checkmate.

They end up doing that aggressive-scenting-nuzzling-grooming I-can-be-more-affectionate-than-you-can-jackass kind of play fighting and roll across the floor laughing and making happy noises and smooshing their faces against each other and then yes, Usopp Does enter a pseudo-Rut and end up joining Luffy in his deranged insane hyperactive patrolling

Luffy: This one’s pretty easy, he’s an Alpha. He’s super strong, a leader, and very ambitious. He also sometimes just decides things and expects them to go his way, and to be fair they usually do. (Like when he decided Zoro was gonna join his crew.) People wouldn’t always know Luffy is an alpha right away from looking at him because he’s short and skinny, but would figure it out quickly after talking to him for a bit.

Zoro: I think there could be good arguments made for Zoro being and alpha or a beta, but I think he’s an omega. He’s submissive like a guard dog is submissive. On multiple occasions he has metaphorically shackled himself to certain people or ideals my making promises. First was his promise to kuina and then his promise to luffy. On both occasions these promises make him stronger. That’s not necessarily an omega thing but it has omega vibes in my opinion. I think everyone would be surprised to find out he’s an omega except for Luffy, who knew since day one and never mentioned it because he’s the only one who assumed it was obvious.

Nami: Also an Alpha. She’s constantly barking orders at people despite not being captain and has anger issues. (This is not a dig at Nami I love Nami). I think she would hide that she’s an alpha around people she doesn’t know well for fear of judgment but once she gets to know the strawhats would start showing her alpha traits.

Usopp: I think beta, but could be omega. Definitely not alpha, although he wishes he was an alpha and constantly tries to convince people he is one. It’s pretty obvious he isn’t.

Sanji: I think Sanji would be a beta. Partially because I don’t really see him as either an alpha or an omega but I don’t like it when beta is just the throwaway group for anyone who isn’t an alpha or omega so I feel like I need a better reason. He’s got sort of a caretaker type of personality with his food, which can be seen as more of an omega thing but I think that caretaking nature and food in general kind of ties into betas being the glue that holds the pack together, so I feel like it makes sense for Sanji to be a beta in that regard.

Chopper: not a human so I feel like this stuff just wouldn’t apply to him.

Robin: Beta. She’s pretty go with the flow about things and usually has a chilled out attitude compared to the rest of the crew. She’s willing to get involved with shenanigans but usually isn’t the one starting things.

Franky: This is a hard one because he doesn’t really have vibes in any particular direction. He’s just really ridiculous. I think I’ll say probably Alpha, just because of the general obnoxiousness, but I really don’t know. I feel like a lot of his biological things associated with being an alpha would be messed up or just not there anymore after the accident with the sea train.

Brook: I’m gonna say beta. No real reason for it, that’s just the vibes I get, although no pheromones would really be working probably given that he is literally just bones and an afro.

“Sanji!” “Sanji!”

Sanji looked at the Usopp and Chopper duo calling out to him.

"Yes?" “We craved dessert.” “Yes, Sanji.” "Okay you go I'll make some and it's weird." "What?" "You're talking about food, but Luffy isn't around." “Oh him, Nami, and Robin are talking.” "Yes. I think it's something serious." “Something serious?” "I think." "What could it be?" "I don't know and Sanji?" "Yes?" “Can you come by when you're done? There are things I want to check.” “Oh… Okay…”

Usopp did not know what to do in such situations. Everyone in the crew was affected by something. Especially Sanji… He hoped that Chopper could heal his heart too.

*** Meanwhile, Zoro was on the deck watching the sea. It was strange behavior for him. Zoro used to do four things a day. Eating, training, sleeping, and drinking. Realizing this, Franky sat down next to him.

"Do you mind, Zoro-bro?" "No." “Are you okay?” “Wounds heal.” “I didn't mean them. Cook-bro is shaken. Does he know something we don't know?" “I don't know what you're talking about.” "Anyways. It's okay if you don't want to tell me, but if you want, I'm here. We are the pack.” "I know. What happened with Robin?" “I told her I loved her.” "How?" “With my mouth.” "How did you know that you love her?" “Hmmm… looking at her, I feel more supeeer than ever before.” "It doesn't make sense." "It does. You'll see when the time comes." "Are you not afraid?" “From what?” “Humans are actually pretty weak creatures. Even if you are a genius child swordmaster, you can die by falling down a ladder. Losing someone who means so much to you… is hard…” “Didn't we take that risk as a pack?” “Even that is a big gamble, but it's worth it for Luffy. It's all worth it for Luffy." “I'll be devastated if I lose her one day, but if I can still love her the way I want, it's worth the gamble. As it was worth it for Luffy. Well worth it for Cook-bro.” "Why did you mention him?" "I don't know." “You are weird.” “Like everyone else in this crew.” “Yeah…”

*** “So he said he was in love with you?” “Yeah…” “What is the problem?” “Gosh, Luffy… You never understand love right?” “What are you talking about? Love is simple. İf you love him say yes, if you don’t say no.” “It is more complicated than that.” “It is not though. My brother once told me when you are in love you feel butterflies in your stomach, the World would become brighter for you. You would miss them more than anyone else. Actually, my other brother said this is bullshit but I don’t think so. It seems like a good thing. I want to fall in love one day.”

Nami actually thought Luffy wouldn’t know anything about this kind of topic but guess she was wrong.

“Yeah… You are actually right… Woah… But the emotions are hard to handle Luffy. It is a big risk.” “Say, Robin?” “Yes?” “Let’s assume you love Franky. He is supeeer for you. When would you regret it? When you say yes to him or no?” “I don’t know… I…” “You are no Miss All Sunday anymore or demon child. You are Robin. Our Robin.” “Luffy is right Robin. You deserve everything.” “Then if I say no to him.” “Okay. Do you love him?” “I don’t know… Maybe… He is different. More different than everyone else.” “More different?” “You all are. We are such a unique crew but he is more.” “I feel like you love him, Robin. Why don’t you take your chance? What possibly can go wrong?” “Yeah… You can learn to love someone, after starting too and we are strong Robin. If you guys ever break up we will sport you and make sure you both will move on.” “I can do that?” “Yes.” “Yes.” “Thanks guys. I will think about it.” “If you need us…” “I know.”

*** After Franky left Zoro's side, Chopper arrived. He had some papers and a pen in his hand.

“Zoro?” "Yes?" “As a doctor, I need to do some tests for you.” “Okay. Take my blood.” “Not that kind of test. You have to answer my questions okay?” “Okay…” “How are you sleeping? Any trouble?” “No.” “Are you sure? Like, waking up during sleep more than usual?” “You watched me?” “I am a doctor Zoro. Please... Be honest with me.”

Zoro sighed.

“Then yes.” “Any reminder brought back feelings about the event?” “What event?” “I don't know. Like what happened at thriller bark or something in the past. Bad thing.” “Sometimes stairs are scary.” “Oh…” “My friend… Died… Falling.” “Oh… I am sorry for your loss Zoro.” “It was a long time ago.” “I understand but pain-“ "Just let's get over with the test." “Okay. What about the other thing?” “Cook…” “Sanji?” “Yeah. You should do this to him.” “I will. After you.” “How do you feel about Thriller Bark.” “Nothing happened. Numb.” “Other than?” “…” “Zoro please...” “Scared.” “For Sanji or Luffy or yourself.” “Not for myself. Mostly them but for all of you. I wanna protect everyone. I don't want to see either of you get hurt. I wanna be strong.” “You are strong Zoro but sometimes bad things happen and it is not our fault.” “Talk to the cook. Tell him I am alive.” “In this situation. Can we say you care most for Sanji?” “No. Just tell him. We don't need another cook. We need him.” “Oh… He said that?” “…” “I see. Thank you, Zoro. I will check you a few more times okay?” “Whatever. Do your job.” “Thanks.”

*** “Chopper-san?” “Oh Brook. Sorry I didn't see you." “No problem. Are you okay?” “Yes but worried.” “About?” "Our crew's mental health." “Wanna talk about it?” “But for privacy…” "We don't need details." “Okay then.”

They sell together. Chopper opened his file.

“Zoro and Sanji probably have Ptsd from the last event but they don't tell me what happened? I don't know how to help them.” “Maybe we should just watch them Chopper-san. If things go wrong we can do something.” “I would rather nothing goes wrong but with this, we will do that.” “Is there anything else?” “Where should I even start?” “Let's go from member to member. Luffy-san?” “He went through some terrible things at Water 7 and he has some childhood trauma. He is kind of abused too but he doesn't realize or probably he will never realize it. He was neglected. Fear of being alone. A phobia. He lost someone who was so important to him and now he wants to be strong so he can protect everyone he loves.” “This is a hard load to carry.” “Yeah. He probably has adhd too but I need a professional for that.” “I hope we can find someone to help us.” “Even if we did how we will get help? I mean this kind of help needs time.” “Maybe they can travel with us.” “I don't know but we will look about it. We need to. This is serious.” “Nami-san?” “Identity crisis. Losing a mother, trust issues, abuse, neglect, childhood trauma, self-worth issues…” “For a child… Gosh…” “Yeah. Usopp… Lost his mother too. His father was always away. Neglect, childhood trauma, constantly lying due to trauma response, self-worth issues, anxiety…” “Poor children. Zoro-san?” “He isn’t opening up to me. I don’t know much. He has PTSD probably from both thriller bark and from losing childhood trauma and maybe from water 7 too. Like Luffy, he wants to get strong so he wouldn’t lose anyone else and-“ “And.” “You know what Brook. I remembered I needed to talk to Sanji. Thank you for listening to me.”

Before Brook could react Chopper was gone. Robin came after him.

“Did you hear us Robin-san?” “I did. I talked all about this with him before.” “I wanted to talk about him but-“ “Yeah me too. He is so young. They all are.” “Because of that, we should take care of them.” “Oh… Franky-san.” “We have a young pack.” “Very young.” “Yeah…"

Three adults were so worried about the youngers. They hoped they would get every help they needed.

Sanji woke up to Luffy's energetic voice. He couldn't understand what was happening for a few seconds, but when he regained consciousness, he instantly looked around. He started running when he saw Zoro's swords.

“Everything seems fine, but where did this scumbag go?”

As he was running, he suddenly saw the standing figure.

"I found. What do you think you're doing? Hey! Where is that warlord-"

He could have sworn that his heart stopped for a second at the sight of him. Zoro stood devastated in the middle of a huge bloodstained circle with his arms crossed.

“What is this blood?! Hey! Are you still alive?! Where is that man?! What happened here?!" "N-nothing happened!"

After Zoro finished his sentence, he threw himself on Sanji.

“Zoro. Zoro! Oi! Answer me! Please..."

Sanji was struggling to breathe, but he couldn't waste time with that. He immediately took two deep breaths and threw him over his shoulder and started running. What if he dies… what if I can't save him… why doesn't anyone feel his pain? Doesn't he feel pain? I...I… I can't live without him...

“Chopper! Chopper! Help! Please!"

When the others saw him, they immediately rushed to his side. When Chopper saw Zoro, he immediately shouted at Franky to take him to a neat and clean place. Usopp and Brook had gone to get medical supplies they might need. Robin was getting ready to help Chopper. Nami started to cry. And Sanji… Sanji was just standing on his knees. Seeing him, Nami got worse and threw herself on him and started to cry in his arms. Sanji didn't even have the energy to hug her. Luffy couldn't stand to see the two pack members like that. He collapsed to his side. He put his straw hat on Sanji's head. He hugged Nami from behind.

"Do not worry. He lives and will live. It won't be a bad.” “L-luffy…”

Sanji cursed his shaking voice and the inability to continue.

“We would feel it if something were going to go wrong.”

Nami is crying:

“But… What… What if the reason why we can't feel…” "No. not that. Do not worry. Everything will be fine. Everything will be fine." “Luffy…” “Luffy…” “What we can do is wait. Come on, let's wait somewhere closer to him but out of way."

So they began to wait just outside of Zoro's operation. About three hours later, Chopper, Robin, Usopp, Franky and Brook came out. It was a very difficult operation that needed the help of all of them.

“Chopper?” “We've got the situation under control for now, Luffy, but he was in very bad shape. I've never seen him like that before. I couldn't control it alone. I couldn't lose a single second." "Will he be okay?" “There is no life-threatening danger at the moment. If there is a wrong move or an infection situation, we will be bad again. Other than that, I don't know when he regains consciousness but… Yes. He is good."

Everyone could finally breathe properly. Sanji wanted to give Luffy his hat back.

“Hold it a little longer, Sanji. Now will you prepare dinner for me?" “Of course, Luffy. Thank you."

*** While the others were partying, Sanji kept replaying what those two men were saying in his head. Robin realizes this.

"Are you okay, Cook-san?" “Oh… Robin-chan… Did you have a request? Shall I get some coffee?" “Cook-san, I came for you.” “Oh… Sorry… I'm just… I'm just tired… I guess…” “I know what happened Sanji.”

Sanji widened his eyes and looked at her in surprise.

“I am sorry. I overheard.” “Oh… it's okay Robin-chan… It's just…” “You can talk to me Sanji. Don't throw it in. Remember how you proved that I am not alone. You are not alone either.” “I… I don't know, Robin-chan… I've never experienced such fear before. What if I lost him? I… I guess I couldn't live with it… If he had died… If he had died… I couldn't Robin-chan…” “None of this was your fault Sanji. None! And he didn't die. Look, come here."

She took him by the hand and brought him to Zoro.

“Chopper?” "Yes, Robin?" “Can you tell me about the patient's condition?” “He is still unconscious but has a regular and rhythmic heartbeat and breathing. His condition is stable and he is recovering.” "Did you see?" "I…" “Hey Sanji, how about checking Zoro's pulse? Chopper, can you help him find it?" "Certainly. Come on Sanji. You can feel it at the wrist if you hold it like this.”

Sanji started grabbing his wrist as shown. At first he couldn't feel anything and started to get scared again. Noticing that he was starting to breathe fast, Chopper corrected Sanji's misplacement. This time he had managed to feel his pulse and calmed down. He was alive. He was alive. He was safe.

*** It had been three days since Zoro had been out of the operation, and he still hadn't woken up. And Sanji still hadn't recovered from the event. Whenever he wasn't talking to the others or cooking, he was either by his side or observing him. The party was going on for three days already. So on the one hand, he was already swamped. Robin was watching him, just as Sanji was watching Zoro, and she was sure that Sanji hadn't slept at all in those three days.

“Luffy?” "Yes, Robin?" “Sanji hasn't slept in three days.” “Huh? Really?" "Yes. Can you talk to him?" "Certainly."

Has he not slept in three days? Luffy was starting to worry. Everyone was in bad shape because of Zoro's condition, but it was clear that Sanji was going through it worse than the others. Even though they had a lot of arguments… Luffy could see what was going on between them, albeit more or less. It's not just Luffy. Probably everyone… But he wasn't expecting this intense. This much…

“Sanji?” “Oh, Luffy… I'm sorry I got carried away. I was counting Marimo's breathing. Do you want meat? Or something else?” "I came for you."

Sanji then looked back and saw Robin.

“Robin-chan?” “She told me you weren't sleeping.” “I'm fine, captain. I was just busy because of the party.” “Sanji-“ "Really. I also spoke with Robin-chan the other day. I know it's not my fault. I know he is safe and recovering. I'm fine and everything is fine! You don't need to CHECK UP ON ME!”

His voice got louder towards the end, which caught the attention of a few people.

“I am fine Luffy. Sorry that I yelled. I am getting you more meat, okay?” “Sanji-!”

Luffy was about to go after him, but Chopper stopped him.

“Let's not go after him, Luffy. He's trying to deal with the situation himself. It's not healthy, but… if we go on it, he would close himself to us.” “Chopper… this is very frustrating.” "Yes, it is."

*** Sanji hadn't slept that night and stood by Zoro while the others were asleep. Towards the morning, just when he was going to prepare dinner:

“You know this is not healthy right Sanji?” “Chopper. Were you awake?" "You know it's my duty to check my patient's condition regularly, right?" “I'm just helping out, Chopper.” “Excuse me Sanji, but did I ask you for help with the night watch?” "You don't have to ask me-" “But I have to get permission to help you in the kitchen, right?” “It's not the same thing. I-" “Not same, yes. You are the cook. When it comes to food, you know best about our diets, and I'm a doctor. Ship's doctor. Zoro is not my only patient. Zoro is in better condition than you right now.” "What are you talking about?" “You were wounded in the fight, very badly, too. You haven't slept and rested for four days. Neither your wounds have fully healed nor your body has been able to relax. If you continue like this, you will physically collapse, Sanji.” "I'm fine, Chopper." “I understand that you are angry and in denial, Sanji. I don't know exactly what happened, but it definitely happened after we passed out. You don't have to tell me, but you should know that as a doctor, I won't let one of the people I watch over prepare for his own downfall.” "I'm not doing that." “You do.” “Chopper…” “Please Sanji. Just… Just sleep. For a few hours…” “I have to prepare breakfast. Take care of him, Chopper.” “Sanji!”

*** All-day, that day, Sanji ignored Luffy, Chopper, and Robin as much as possible. And continued in the same routine. The next day those three played another trump card, this time.

Sanji was sitting in the chair next to Zoro again.

“Sanji-kun?” “Oh… Nami-san? Do you want a drink?" “I'm going to sit here for a while. I would like a nice herbal tea.” "I'll bring it right away."

So after a while, Sanji came back with two cups of tea in his hand.

"Here you go, my lady." “Thanks, Sanji-kun.” "You're welcome Nami-san." "Isn't it scary and weird to watch it?" "Weird?" “So normally he always sleeps. But he always slept soundly and we could see very clearly that he was alive. It's like this… He lies like the dead.” "Oh yes…" "I was so frightened when you brought Zoro… I don't remember having such fear since Bell-mère's death." "Me too…" “But he is alive. Chopper takes very good care of him.” “We are very lucky. We have such a good doctor.” "Yes. So you know what's scarier right now?" “What is it Nami-san?” “Your eyes, bloodshot from lack of sleep. However, when you look carefully, they have a very sweet blue tone. Now I can't see any." "Nami-san-" “It's okay if you don't want to leave his side. Separation. Deal with me Sanji-kun.” “Huh?” “You can sleep holding his hand. Here. So you can feel his pulse too, right?” "I…" “Please Sanji-kun. Get some sleep now.” “I… Well…”

Sanji moved his chair a little closer and rested his head on the floor where Zoro was lying and put his hand on his, finally closing his eyes. Watching the events at that time, Robin came in with a thin blanket and gently placed it on Sanji. They had finally succeeded.

*** Sanji slept for almost a full day. When he woke up, Luffy was eating meat next to him.

"Good morning." "Good morning, captain." "Are you hungry?" "A little." “The other crew made a lot of food. Not as good as yours but nice. Wait, let me get it." "Thanks, Luffy and sorry-" "It's okay Sanji."

Luffy brought some food and the two of them ate together without saying a word. When they finished eating, Luffy looked directly into Sanji's eyes.

"Beautiful." “Eh?” “Your eyes are fine. I can see the blue.” “Oh… Yes… Thank you. I've been causing a lot of trouble lately." “I said it doesn't matter. We were all worried. We all reflected our anxiety differently.” "Yeah..." “Don't worry, he'll wake up. And we will sail again.” "Yes. Thank you, Luffy.” “You're welcome Sanji. I'm going to Brook's now, do you want to come?" "I'm going to stay here a little longer." "Whatever you want."

After Luffy left, Sanji turned to Zoro. Whispering:

“Can't you wake up now, stupid Marimo? You've made everyone very worried. Me… You scared me so much… Please… Wake up now… I don't think I can go on without you. Please…"

When he got no answer, he was about to leave to join Luffy when someone grabbed his wrist and stopped him.

“I like your begging… Shitty cook”

Robin was stressed and Franky noticed it. So he went to her.

“Hey, how did it go with Chopper?” “Could have been better. Learned a lot but I couldn't ask him about himself and there is a lot going on I don't know where should we start.” “Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. These things are not something that can be solved overnight. We will spread it over time. Recovery is like a journey as our adventure. Slowly but with getting better.” “I know. Thanks, Franky." "Anytime for you beautiful. Now c'mon we should help them build the nest.”

So they went to the boys' room. They were building the nest in there because the girls' room was small for all of them. Zoro was moving all tools that could associate with the danger to a different room. As usual, he would leave only Wado in the room. So he took Kitetsu to the crow's nest. Usopp was trying to properly arrange the crew members' belongings that reminded them of their own home, and Chopper was helping him. Sanji and Luffy were trying to make a nest by piling up duvets and pillows in the middle, but they didn't quite get along. So while Robin joins them, Franky decides to help Usopp and Chopper. Apparently, Nami got special permission from Luffy.

After building the nest, Luffy:

“NAMI!!! WE ARE STARTING!!! COME!!!”

“COMING!!!”

With Nami's arrival, Luffy took his place in the middle of the nest as usual. Robin moved to Luffy's right and Usopp to his left, as Robin and Usopp were going to make their bonds in this nest. Sanji and Zoro lay down next to Usopp, respectively. Chopper and Nami are next to Robin. Franky, on the other hand, lay on his side above Luffy because he wanted to watch everyone with his big body. Although Sanji was upset at first that his head met Frank's leg, he later agreed.

For the first few hours of Nest, they scented each other. Sanji had specifically asked Zoro like in his first nest, and Zoro did it without protest. When Luffy noticed this, he smiled casually at the two of them and told the girls. Robin already knew everything. Nami felt a little too. Still, none of them would push them too far.

When they had finally set up enough, Luffy asked Robin and Usopp.

"Are you ready?"

When they both agreed, everyone straightened up on the nest. Luffy pulled the first Robin to his side. He gently rolled up the sleeve of her pajamas. He asked with his eyes one last time. When Robin let him, he lightly bit her wrist. marking is always a dazzling event. Robin seemed to fall backward because of this, but luckily Franky was behind her and caught her. Luffy kissed Robin's arm as he stabilized Mark.

“Thanks, Robin.” “I thank you, Luffy. For giving me all off this."

They both scented each other while huggşng for a few minutes. Then, when Luffy left, he took Usopp with him. Robin also relaxed and leaned against Franky. Usopp was a little more nervous than Robin, but he wanted it so badly that he opened his own arm. So Luffy started marking directly. Unlike Robin, Usopp leaned on Luffy throughout the markings. When his mark was finished, they hugged and scented each other in the same way. As with Robin, the words were not shared between them, but they already knew.

When they were both finished, Luffy called Franky and showed him what he had done in Chopper. Franky agreed, of course. That's how Nami drew their mark on Franky. Franky said later that he would turn it into a real tattoo. He promised Chopper the same.

When all the markings were completed, they went back to sleep, eating some of the snacks Sanji had prepared. Except for one person. Zoro As he prepared to get up, Sanji grabbed him by the wrist and said:

"Where are you going?" “To the crow's nest. Somebody needs to be on the watch. We've already left it blank."

Hearing the two of them talking from the other end, Nami went to them.

“Zoro is right Sanji-kun. Although it may seem like a quiet place, this is still the Grand Line. We should be careful, but since this is a marking nest, neither omegas nor pups can be separated. As the others are already new markers, Zoro and I take turns keeping watch. Does it suit you, Zoro?” “Whatever. I would have kept it alone.” “But Nami-san I can too.” “No Sanji-kun. Nest is important, especially for omegas. So no way.”

Then, as Zoro tried to leave, Sanji stopped him again.

“Can't you stay a little bit longer? Just a little?” “Huh? Let me go shitty cook.”

Seeing this, Nami sighed:

“Alright I will take the first watch.” "But Nami-san-" “Oi!- “Nope. I don't want to hear any word from both of you. Zoro stay! And don't you dare upset one of our omegas! You got it?!”

So Nami left and Zoro lay down next to Sanji again.

“Why did you want me to stay?” “Huh?” “I said why-“ “I got it at the first you stupid moss head! It's just… Whatever. Just sleep” “Huh. I am not sleeping until I get my answer!” "And I won't tell you!" “Just say already!” “Nope! You are too stupid for that marimo!” “HUH! You are the one!” “No, you are!” “Shishishi both of you are so funny but if you continue to bother everyone in the nest I will kick both of you out!” “Sorry, Luffy.” “Sorry, Luffy.”

Hearing scolding from Luffy, Zoro went back to his old position. Sanji was hugging and scenting Usopp. Zoro felt a little uncomfortable for no reason. So what is it? The two pack members were scenting each other. Wasn't it natural? Still, he couldn't help himself and hugged Sanji's waist, pulling him a little closer. The weather was pleasant for Usopp. He was hugging Luffy and this nest was for him but Sanji was taken aback at first. Still, he let Zoro do what he wanted because he was the reason that kept him here.

Chopper convinced Luffy to do the nest after their mental health checkup. This allowed Chopper to conduct several tests and one-on-one interviews with crew members over the course of four days. Chopper was not a professional psychiatrist. Neither Doctor Hiluluk nor Doctorin. Yes, he studied from the books. He had read a lot of books, but that's not how psychology worked. Although the Doctorin was not a psychiatrist, there had been a few cases of Ptsd. So he had little experience, but most of his crew members were not cooperative. At least there was a lot they didn't want to tell. So Chopper was very stressed because he didn't know how to help his crew, his pack.

Realizing that Chopper was stressed, Robin decided to help him. So she knocked on the door of the med bay and, with permission from Chopper, entered.

“You okay Doctor-san?” “Robin…” “You can tell me.” “But patient-doctor confidentiality…” “Chopper, you are our pup. You shouldn't bear our scars alone.” “Robin, I don't know how to help.” "Why don't you start by telling me what you found first?" “I learned too much and too little. Some are not cooperative at all.” “I think I am one of them.” "Yes." “Sorry Chopper, but I think you know enough already.” “But Robin I remember. When you first joined. You mentioned something worrying…” “I had suicidal tendencies right?” “Yeah… And with Enies Lobby…” “Chopper. I know. You're worried about me, but you're helping me the most by being here. As my pack. Believe me, I'm getting better. Slowly but well, and if I get bad again, I will come to you.” "Promise?" "Promise. Now the others?" "Still…" “Well, let me say this. Chopper we have a very young pack here. Except for Franky and me. As I realize we need one or two parental figures. Like pack mom and dad. I wanna be the pack mom.” “Oh…” “I wanna help you. And you have my word. No one will know about our collaboration.” “If you say so.” “So who else is not cooperating.” “Zoro skips a lot of things. So for half an hour, I heard that he promised a friend that is the reason he is here now, and that's all I could learn. He said he grew up in a dojo, but he didn't mention his mother or father. He avoided all questions but talked about how much he owed his sensei. I understand Zoro lost both parents but I'm not sure. Or he grew up in a dojo for a different reason. I do not know. And one more thing about him caught my attention.” "What?" “When he handed me the tests, he had a lot of empty questions. When asked why he said he was never good at reading. He also said that he learned to read later than his peers.” "Well?" “So Zoro can be dyslexic which explains why he gets lost so easily.” “Dyslexia? That can explain so many things.” “Still, I would like a second opinion on Zoro before I do anything. From an expert. I hope we find it on Fishman island. There's another one I want like this." "Who?" “Luffy probably has ADHD but I am not a psychiatrist. Yes, I studied but…” "I understand. We're going to have to look into these things on Fishman Island, too." "Yes." “Any other opinions on Luffy?” “Luffy was very cooperative Robin. I learned a lot about him.” “Hm… I would like to know my captain.” “First of all, until Luffy was 7 years old, he grew up with his grandfather's frequent visits, a woman named Makino, whom he saw as a possible mother figure, and the village mayor. He met Red Hair Shanks at the age of 6 and although he did not go into full details, Shanks made a great sacrifice and saved Luffy's life and left him his straw hat, but he had no friends until the age of 7. Luffy doesn't like being alone at all and this is probably his biggest fear. Phobia. So much so that Ace could befriend him- Ah, do you know Ace?" “Fire-Fist Ace? Luffy mentioned him as his brother.” “Yes, Ace is Luffy's brother. Anyway, Luffy risked a lot to be friends with him. In a way, he was self-sacrificing and he's been through a terrible event.” “A terrible event?” “Luffy learned he was an omega age of 7” “How is so?” “…Luffy has another older brother, Sabo. Sabo and Ace were raising money to become pirates before Luffy. Luffy learned this by mistake and bad pirates learned that he learned. That's why they caught Luffy and tortured him for hours. Luffy's body could not stand the stress, pain, and fear he experienced after a certain point and took himself under protection. You know heats can be healing for Omegas. That's what happened this time. Luffy went into early heat to recover. Of course, the pirates who realized this to Luffy… to Luffy… Fortunately, Ace and Sabo stopped them before they could go further. Ace defeated the man in anger. Meanwhile, Sabo took Luffy to the forest. When Ace came, they went to the house of the mountain bandits they were staying with and explained the situation. Dadan, the mother figure of the brothers, has prepared a nest for Luffy. Luffy doesn't remember what happened next, but it's not hard to guess." “Oh, my poor pup.” “Yeah… That's why he didn't want to talk about the last event.” “It reminded him of bad memories.” "Yes. Luffy didn't have a normal childhood in general, but the loss of Sabo a few months later is one of the things that affected him the most." “Oh…” “Yeah…” “The others?” “Ah… Sanji doesn't specifically talk about his life before he met his father figure, Zeff. But he said most of his family weren't good. I can't be sure of course, but I suspect child abuse. So much so that he is most likely suffering from PTSD. That panic attack was probably because of that but again not sure. And he grew up without a permanent child around him. He's probably having trouble with friends and relationships. Smoking addiction already… He also got a high score on the anxiety test so I would get a second opinion about treatment again. Sanji has so many but he tells me so little so I don't know how to help. ” “Hmm… is there a situation in a hurry?” “After that panic attack I would like to start his treatment for his anxiety as soon as possible but he is very insistent that it is not a problem. He also claims that it was a one-off attack that he hadn't had in four years." "It wouldn't be right to push him either, would it, Chopper?" “Unfortunately… You can't help someone who doesn't want help… But… I'm a doctor…” “I know Chopper but... What about Nami?” “She has serious trust issues. And she has a lot of problems with her own identity. She has very wrong images of sub-gender because of the environment she grew up in. She is aware of this herself, she is trying to change. Nami probably handles better with us. So nothing too worrying right now.” “I see. Usopp?” “Ah… Self-worth issue… Anxiety… Losing his mum… So much… He started lying due to his mother’s illness. He wanted to make her happy by lying about his father coming back. Then he became a liar due to PTSD. ” “Chopper, you are not alone. We will deal with it together. We won't let anyone go too far. We will collect them together when they break down okay?” “Okay, Robin. Thanks.” “You're welcome. Franky?” “Oh, he is probably in the best condition. He had survivor's guilt over his master's death but with everything, he probably got over it. So yeah he is better.” “So what we ultimately have to deal with is:” “Getting a second opinion and possible treatment for Luffy’s ADHD, Zoro’s dyslexia, and Anxiety of Sanji and Usopp.” “In the Fishman Island if it is possible?” “Yes.” “Then we can finally have a nest right?” “Yes.” “Then let's go and tell the others.”

Summary:

A little glimpse into the past. East Blue crew's first meeting with Luffy and learning that he is an omega.

Notes:

I wanted to write a little East Blue episode as I was having trouble writing the next chapter. I'm going to expand this with other crew members and post a one-shot called "Our Omega Captain", but for now, this is the place. I hope you will like it. good reading.

-----

“To be killed by the sailors or to come with me… Which do you choose?” “You are the son of the devil. Well done! I'd rather be a pirate than die here!” “Great you will be my Nakama!!! Ok! This is perfect!" “I see! Now set me free!!!”

Thereupon, Luffy began to try to untie Zoro's knots.

“But I can't figure it out!” "HEY! Stop kidding!"

Meanwhile, Captain Morgan's soldiers had begun to march towards them.

"Strange. The knot gets tighter.” “QUICK, GIVE ME MY SWORDS!” “LUFFY-SAN!”

So Luffy gave him his swords. Taking his swords, Zoro instantly freed himself from the ropes and stopped any soldiers who came upon them.

“WOW!!! Super!!!!" “Roronoa Zoro!” “One more move and you die!” "I am so afraid!" “I made a promise to be a pirate. Going against the sailors will make me a wanted man. On top of that, I'm only going to tell you one thing. I will always follow my own goals!” “Goals?” “Being the best swordsman in the world! If you do one thing that will cause me to abandon my purposes, your life will end at my sword!” “The world's best swordsman? Wonderful! I would expect nothing less from you, the comrade of the pirate king!” “Heh, really! Whether as a devil or a saint, my name will be heard all over the world!” “Bend over, Zoro! Gomu Gomu no Muchi!”

Luffy took down all the soldiers with his kick.

"What are you?" “I ate rubber fruit. I am rubber man!”

As soon as Zoro and Luffy defeated Morgan, everyone cried out for joy. Zoro threw himself to the ground.

“What happened Zoro-san? Are you injured?” "I am so hungry."

*** So Zoro, Luffy, and Coby went to that little girl's restaurant. Although he hadn't eaten in three weeks, Zoro had eaten less than Luffy.

“Well, how many shipmates do we have? I remember you said you were looking for a crew. You've already found a crew to become the pirate king, right?" "No. There is only you." "What?! Then…" "Yes. The two of us!" "Can we just be pirates, the two of us?" "What is the problem? We are strong!” “Our ship? Our pirate ship?” "It's over there!" “Is it that?” “It's small for now, but I'm going to get a really big one in the future!” “Hahahaha! How?!" “I want a pirate flag too!” “Luffy-san was born without the ability to plan.” “Am I really going to go after this guy?” "Yes! But together we will find more Nakama.” “Hey, where are you going now?” "Is not it certain? Grand Line!” “Just with the two of you? Not possible!” “Is the Grand Line really that dangerous?” “Of course it is!”

Thus, a brief summary of the Coby Grand Line and the Roger era was passed.

“I guess we have no other choice.” “Zoro-san, you too?!” "Who cares if you're not coming anyway." "I'm worried even if I'm not coming."

Seeing the sailors entering, Luffy provoked Coby to punch him. So his little omega friend could start walking towards his goal. Then he and Zoro got on their little boats and set sail.

*** Luffy talked to Zoro about simple things until they were far from land. Just like where they came from... When they got far from the land, he decided to open the subject.

“Hmm… we got pretty far, huh? I've never seen land for nearly two hours. Okay!" "What is okay?" “I have to tell you something. I'm saying this now that you can't escape. I wouldn't let you escape though. After all, you're my first Nakama." "What?" “I am an omega.” “So?” “What do you mean so? Normally-"

Zoro interrupted before Luffy could finish his sentence.

“I mean it doesn't matter. A lot of people are idiots. Just because someone is an omega doesn't make him weak. Or strong just because of alpha. You saw that blond boy. Alpha but the foremost of the weak. Plus that power ranking is bullshit. Alpha men, alpha woman, beta man, beta woman, omega man, omega woman… So who did that?” "So you don't care." "No." “Shishishi… I have a good first Nakama.” "I think. Don't our dreams matter? Not our genders!” "Yes!"

So Luffy involuntarily relaxed. He didn't have to convince Zoro.

"But…" "But?" "I couldn't smell you." “Oh… I use scent blocker.” “But not fake pheromones?” “No. They make me sick. They can guess, but I'll probably take care of myself." "Yes. What about heats? For my ruts I use supressants.” “Same here. Unless there is an emergency.” "Good. Being an omega doesn't change anything for me, Luffy. But don't worry, I won't let anyone use your secondary sex to harm you." “Shishishi! Thank you, Zoro.” "It's okay, captain."

Thus, they continued their journey at sea.

***

It was the second night of Zoro and Luffy's voyage at sea. Zoro was the type to ignore all the gender nonsense. Instincts were another matter, though. That useless alpha in him was a nuisance. He knew that the boy next to him was stronger than him, but since he learned that he was an omega, he was much more careful while he slept. “PROTECT HIM” “HE SMELLS LIKE HOME” was the only thought in his mind. On the second night, he couldn't resist any longer. He slid to the side where Luffy was sleeping. For some reason, Luffy, who would not wake up if the ball exploded, had woken up to this movement.

“Zoro?” "You continue to sleep. I am here." “Shishishi. The Alphas... a total nui-"

What person would fall asleep before they could finish a sentence? Still, Zoro was glad that Luffy wasn't offended by Zoro's behavior. It both relieved the alpha in him and did not disturb his new captain. It was a nice night.

/////// "You're strong aren't you?!" "Huh, who are you?" “You won with bare hands against swords. Hey! If you join me. I am a thief who robs pirates.” "No. I have no reason to join you.” "Hey wait a minute!" “Now I remember. I am hungry.” “How would you like me to treat you?” "Really?" "Yes…"

So Luffy went to have dinner with the orange-haired girl. While eating:

“Do you live here alone?” “I am not one of the people of this city. Locals fled because they were afraid of Buggy.” "So you loot what's left, too." “How rude of you! I'm a thief robbing pirates. Don't pair me with the looters." "But a thief is a thief, aren't they?" "I'll collect a hundred million no matter what." “What are you going to do with that much money?” "This is a secret. It's not a dream that hundred million if you have the Grand Line map.” “The map? Are you a navigator?" “My skills are much better than other navigators.” "I understand. This is great! Why don't you join us as a navigator?!” "Really?" "Yes! The crew of pirates!” "No! Are you a pirate?" "Yes. I promised the man who gave me this hat that I would be a great pirate.” “The things I hate most in this world are pirates! I like money and tangerines!” “Come on, be our navigator.” "I said no." “Well then.” "Well if you accept my terms I'll give it a thought." "Really? I do everything!" “I want you to go see Buggy with me, but…” “Why did you tie me up?” “Just a rope, problem?” “I guess not. I'd like to meet some pirates. Let's go."

*** “Fire! Fire!”

How had Nami let herself fall into this situation? She was standing in front of the cannon. The Buggy crew would kill her if she didn't fire the cannon, but if she did, she would be no different than the pirates she hated.

“Nami, don't ruin the party!” "What is the problem? Your hands are shaking. This is what happens if you don't prepare yourself mentally." “What do you mean by mental preparation? Killing people as they want? Is this the way of the pirates?” "No! Being ready to risk your own life!”

Just then, someone took the match from Nami's hand. Just as he was about to ignite the fuse, Nami knocked him down.

“I will never be like the pirates who took the most important person from me!” “Oh, so that's why. AHHH!!! Afire!!!!"

Nami ran and put out the burning wick, holding it with her hands.

“AHHHH!!!” "You? Behind you!"

A lot of men were about to attack Nami.

“Oi oi! All these guys trying to beat up one girl?” “Zoro!” "Did you get hurt?" "N-no." “Oh thank goodness. You could find it here. Get me out of here quick." “What are you really doing? A bird took you away and now you're in the cage?" “Well, it was a lot of fun.” “So you are Zoro. What do you want? my head?” "No. I am not interested. I quit pirate hunting.” “But I was interested. If I kill you, I will become more famous.” "Don't do that, you'll die."

Seeing Zoro, who was relatively badly injured because he didn't know about Buggy's devil fruit, Luffy said:

“RUN ZORO!”

So Zoro Buggy swung his cannon towards them and Nami fired it. In this confusion, Zoro managed to take Luffy in the cage to the city. Zoro's condition was bad. Besides not having eaten for three days, he was also injured. Moreover, he was dealing with a stupid captain. That's why he was so happy when Nami brought the key. But the dog ate it. When the mayor of the city arrived, Zoro was finally able to rest.

*** When Luffy's fight with Mohji was over, Nami realized that he was fighting for the dog Shushu.

“I'm sorry I thought badly of you.” "No problem. You had your reasons.”

When Zoro and Luffy decided to fight Buggy, Nami understood what kind of people they were.

"I won't be a pirate, but I will join you for both our purposes." “Shishishi. Good."

*** After Buggy's defeat, the villagers misunderstood the event, and they had to flee. For the first time in a long time, Nami felt comfortable. They were different. These two were not like those abominations.

While Nami was assessing her own situation, Luffy was waiting to get away from the land as he did to Zoro. Once he was far enough away, he brought up the subject.

“Hey, Nami. I know you don't want to be a pirate. But you're planning to come with us to the Grand Line, right?" "Yes. What happened?" “Then you should know something about me.” "What?" “I am an omega.” "Omega? I guess that's why I couldn't smell you. Does that sleeping idiot know?" “Zoro? Yes." “Hmm…” "Is there a problem?" "No. Being an Omega doesn't change anything for me. I was even happier. I wouldn't want to travel with two alpha pirates. Pirates are worse when they are alpha.” "Do not say that. Zoro is also alpha and a pirate.” “I already realized that you are not normal.” “Shishishi. But I am glad.” "Do not worry. My sister is an omega. For that reason…" “Oooo do you have a sister?” "Yes." “I also have two… I have an older brother.” “Oh is it?” "Yes." “Having siblings is something nice. But Luffy?” "Yes?" “Heats?” “On suppressant.” “Oh… I guess I should use it too.” "Do not you use it?" "This…" “You don't have to use it. We'll stay on the islands for you." “Oh… thanks Luffy.” “Shishishi! No problem."

*** Nami couldn't take it anymore as she had been staring at Luffy looking at his hat for an hour.

“Give it!” “Huh?” “The hat. I will fix it.” "REALLY?!" "Yes. Now let me fix it."

Then Luffy gave Nami a big hug.

"Thank you so much!" “Hai hai.”

***

Luffy was asleep most of the time, as they had no food but apples on the way to the island that Nami had mentioned. Nami usually went on the boat next to them. She was just coming to change Zoro's bandage.

"Hey, it's time to change bandages." "There's no need. It's healed." “Don't be stupid. No human wound heals that quickly.” “Mine would.” “You're a total jerk. Pray, I don't get bandage money." “I have no money to give.” "I know. Let me change your bandage now.” Zoro was looking at her while Nami was tending to Zoro's wound.

“If you have something to say, say it.” “You are an alpha.” “So you are.” “What are you planning woman? You said you didn't want to be a pirate. I won't let you hurt him." “Are you his alpha?” "No. He's my captain." “I don't want to hurt him, but I hate pirates. We have a common purpose. Grand Line.” “I wouldn't hesitate to punch you in the face if you hurt him.” "I am aware. I'm not going to piss off an alpha man." “Not because he's omega.” "Wrong." "Not." “Not entirely yes, but partly because of that. I'm an alpha too Zoro. I know what you are feeling. That's not how instincts work." “They are annoying.” "I agree. Yes completely brand new. Now get some rest. I'll be on patrol." "No." “I will not harm him.” “Not until I can be sure.” "You know. Then I am sleeping. Wake me up if something happens, idiot."

*** Merry was a beautiful ship. There were two hammocks in the men's room. That's why Zoro decided to sleep on the sofa. Nami strangely agreed to take the first watch. From time to time she would come and look at the wounds of the others. Zoro, who normally sleeps a lot, was awake. Not only because of a new sense of place but also because of the alpha woman and the new beta that he didn't quite trust. He would be relieved if he killed the alpha in him.

But Zoro wasn't the only one awake. Strangely, Luffy and Usopp were also awake.

“Hey, Usopp?” "Hmm?" “How does it feel to have a mate?” “Soon to be mate.” "What difference does it make?" "I do not know. Because I don't have a mate. But I just love her. Her smile. Her voice. Her hair blew in the wind. Her stance. Everything.” “Heeee. What a man of love you are.” "Oi Zoro." “I think this is all nonsense.” “Don't you want a mate, Zoro?” “It's just an obstacle to my dreams. Weakness." “Hmmm…” “What is it, long nose?” "I do not think like this." "What?" "Weakness. I think I got stronger thanks to Kaya.” "Nonsense." "You won't understand until you meet that person." “Never so.” “I think mate is a good feeling. Even though I don't understand much." “Look, even Luffy gets it.” “But I prefer a pack. I had a pack when I was little. My brothers and I.” "Really?" "Don't lie, Luffy." "It's your job to lie, Usopp." “But you don't have a pack mark.” “Couldn't get a chance. But we were a pack.” “If he says so, so it is. Drop it Usopp. And now we sleep. It is uncertain what tomorrow will bring.” "Goodnight." "Goodnight."

///////// “If you intend to attack this village, you must gather your strength! Or my 80 million men will crush you like bugs!” "UNBELIEVABLE!!!" "You are lying." "Ah! She saw the truth!” “See, he said I saw the truth.” "What? Was he lying?” “80 million may be an exaggeration, but I have a lot of strong men!” “Those three pups?” “LEARNED!!! R-RUN!!!” "Hey don't run away!" “I've never heard of a pirate using pachinko.” “Hahahaha!!! You are quite an interesting person.” “Oh don't laugh! I am very honorable. That's why they call me the honorable Usopp. My Pachinko skill is better than rifles.” “Since you talked about rifles, bet your life on that. It's not a tool to scare people."

Maybe Zoro picked the right person as captain huh?

“The person standing in front of you is a real pirate.” "As I thought. The speech of a real pirate is scarier. Unbelievable."

Zoro and Luffy laughed at that too.

“I just imitated someone else's speech. Shanks, whom I deeply respect.” “S-Shanks? Do you know the red-haired Shanks?" "Yes. Isn't it Yasopp? Your father's name?"

In a surprise, Usopp fell.

“Yasopp my father's name is correct but how do you know?” "I'll tell you if you buy me dinner." "We agreed."

So they all went to dinner together.

“I met your father once when I was little.” "So my dad was on Shanks' ship huh?" “You look just like your father. As soon as I saw it I thought it was his son. He always told me I have a son the same age as you.” "Really? I never thought my father was in such a great crew.” “I don't know what his status is right now, but I think he's still with him. But your dad's marksmanship is really great. And Usopp, I've heard your story over and over. I was pretty tired of it. Yasopp is a great pirate.” “I thought so too. Disregarding his own life, he sails to the seas and embarks on adventures.” “This makes it easier for us to talk. Hey. Is there a place in this village where we can buy a sailboat or a large ship?” “As you can see, this village is quite small. I'm very sorry, but I can't accept your request." “There was a huge mansion on top of the hill.” “Hey Usopp, do you know them?” “You can't go there! Ah! Now I remember. There was something I had to do. I know the owner of this shop well. Eat and drink as you wish. I'm going. See you!"

*** After the Captain Kuro incident, they met Lady Kaya's fine gift, Going Merry. Finally, the little crew had a ship. Usopp had to go his own way, too.

“So you really are sailing, Usopp-san.” "Yes. I must go before I change my mind. Don't try to stop me." “I will not stop. I felt you would do that.” "What? I was a little disappointed. Next time I'm back in the village, I'll tell stories that are more compelling than those of the lying Usopp." “I will look forward to it.” “Take care of yourself too! We will meet again one day.” "Why?" “Why? You're really obtuse, aren't you? I'll be a pirate like you. So one day we may meet somewhere at sea.” “What are you talking about, get in quick!” "We are already Nakama, aren't we?" “I-I'm the captain! “Don't be silly, I'm the captain!

So Usopp placed his things in Merry.

"Luffy to Kaya-" "We are waiting."

"Kaya!" “Usopp-san?” “I'm going to be a really brave pirate. And one day I'll be back with my stories. I know I'm asking a lot from you, but will you wait for me?" “Well?” "Forgive my rudeness, but-" “Usopp-san?” "Yes?" “I will wait for the day when I will be your mate.” “Kaya… Please wait for me. I'll write you a letter whenever I get the chance. And take this.” "This?" “The ring my father gave to my mother. Will you wear it as a necklace until I come?" “I'd be proud of that, Usopp-san. Please go now. They are waiting for you.”

So Usopp left her without another word and boarded the ship again. Merry also sailed.

“Heh, so you want to have a mate huh?” "Yes. I have always loved her very much.” “Usopp, you are so sweet.” “Hahahaha. I think we already have a married man on our crew. And Usopp?” "Yes?" "There's no turning back now that you've joined the crew." "I know." “Then you should know one more thing. I am an omega.” “Huh? HUH!!!!! Seriously?!" "Yes." “Woah. You are so strong!” “Would it be a problem for you?” “Why would it be? I am a beta man so pheromones don't even affect me that much and I literally have a soon-to-be mate. Nami and Zoro?” “Me and Zoro are alpha.” “' 2 alphas 1 beta 1 omega huh. Normally there should be more betas.” “Shishishi. We will have more crew members.”

////// “Hey cook! Join us! You will be the cook on my pirate ship!” “Huh?” “Are you a pirate?” "Yes." “Then why did you attack this restaurant?” “It was an accident. We were just defending ourselves.” “What does that mean? Anyway, you better not do anything else to this place. The head chef here was once a notorious big pirate.” “So that old man was a pirate.” “For that old man, this restaurant is more precious than any treasure. Other cooks who followed his fame were once fearsome pirates. Pirates in these parts come here often.” "Yes. doesn't seem to have any free moments." "Not bad. I'm used to it.” “Lately, a lot of people come to watch pirates and cooks fight. But that scares away all part-time waiters.” “Oh, so that's why he asked me to work here for a year. Hey! Join us!" “I refuse. I have my own reasons to stay here.” "No! I refuse! "What?" “I refuse your refusal! You're a good cook, so come with me and be a pirate." “Listen to me oi!” “What is your reason?” “I don't need to tell you!” “Huh? Didn't you want me to listen to you now?" “I said you should accept my decision! If you're not careful, I'll slit you like a fish, Straw Hat!” "What did you say?! If you don't want to start a fight, don't insult my hat! You scumbag!”

While they were fighting, Gin intervened and warned Luffy about the Grand Line. He then says Sanji will get in trouble because of him before he goes his own way. Sanji then threw her dinner plate into the sea. And he said he has no proof anymore. Gin left very gratefully.

*** As soon as Sanji saw Nami, he started flirting with her.

“But this is so terrible. There is a huge obstacle between us!” “Isn't the obstacle mine? Sanji?” “Old geezer!” “Isn't that great? Why don't you run away and become a pirate like them? We don't need you here anymore!” “Hey shitty old man! Am I not the cook's assistant here? We don't need you here anymore, what's the bullshit?!” “You are constantly fighting with customers. You flirt with every beautiful woman you see. And you make terrible meals. You are nothing but a burden to this restaurant!” "What…" “Other cooks don't like you anyway. Why don't you be a pirate or something and get out of here?" “What is this nonsense? I did nothing and now you're blowing on me? I don't mind other excuses but I will never let you insult my food! I don't care what you say! I will stay here as a cook! If you don't like it, that's your problem!” “How dare you hit your own boss?! You stupid eggplant!”

Luffy liked Sanji even more after Zeff and Sanji's fight. Besides, he was funny. He should definitely join the crew.

*** Sanji had watched both Zoro and Luffy very closely during Zoro and Mihawk's fight. To him, at first, what Zoro did was pointless. As for Luffy… It was obvious that Zoro was very valuable to Luffy. The boy almost broke what he was holding on to. Still, he had respected all of Zoro's wishes and never interfered in the fight. After Zoro made a promise to Luffy, he sent him and the other idiots after Nami-san. What a strong will… What a crew…

After the battle with Don Krieg, Luffy earned all of Sanji's respect. Still, deciding to go was a very difficult decision, especially as the old geezer's words 'don't catch a cold' broke him. It was the first time he'd been separated from the man who had acted as his father in all this time and had even developed a paternal bond with him. But it was necessary for his dreams.

So with Yosaku and Luffy, he started to go after Nami. On the way, Luffy realized that Sanji was using fake pheromones. So he decided to ask.

“Hey, Sanji?” "Hmm?" “Are you an Alpha?” “Yes. Can't you tell?"

Yes. He was lying. But Luffy wasn't the type to judge him. After the incident 10 years ago, that too… It was a long time ago.

“Just making sure. I am an omega by the way.” “Oh… I kinda guessed it.” “Right…”

Sanji had guessed that Luffy was an omega due to both being odorless and his attitude towards crew members. He wasn't the type to judge her because he was already an omega. He didn't want to lie, but…

*** “NAMI!!!! YOU ARE MY NAKAMA!!!!”

He had defeated Arlong. He had defeated Arlong. After 8 years. She was free at last. She was free.

That's why Nami pulled Luffy aside for a moment while people were partying.

“Luffy…” “Yeah, Nami?” “Arlong has always told me about hierarchy and the importance of alpha. That's why I underestimated you. I am very sorry." “It's okay Nami. I understand the way people view omegas best.” “Thanks, Luffy.” “Shishishi!! You are my Nakama, right? I can do anything for my Nakama.”

Luffy then returned to the party for more food. Nami went to do her last few errands.

***

After Nami got her tattoo, she turned into a party. Strangely enough, she couldn't find either Luffy or Sanji-kun in the crowd. She finally found them where Zoro lay.

“So you are here.” “Oh Nami-san, you are so beautiful again.” “Hai hai Sanji-kun. Thanks. Is he finally asleep?" “Is that stubborn Marimo? Yes. Just a dumb alpha image.” “Shishishi” “And what about you?” “Ahhh! My Nami-san was your concern for me. I could die of happiness.” “Why am I struggling?” “YOSH! I'm hungry again. I'm going."

So Luffy went to eat again.

“Isn't he an amazing person, Sanji-kun?” "He really is. Normally, no one would believe that an omega defeated an Alpha merman.” “I wouldn't believe it. After all, normally Omegas are fragile.” “They are not weak.” “I guess they are not. I'm going to the party too. See you later Sanji-kun.” “Of course Nami-san!”

After Nami left, Sanji looked at the stupid alpha, who was sleeping a little longer. It was best to stay away from him.
