Sanji's leg was still smoking from his kick when Luffy suddenly grabbed Takuya's wrist with rubbery enthusiasm. "SHISHISHI! You're coming with us anyway!"
Takuya raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And why's that?"
"Cause you're interesting!" Luffy declared with his trademark grin. "And your cookies are almost as good as meat!"
Nami's eye twitches violently. "Luffy, we are NOT—"
"Wait." Zoro suddenly interjected, his hand resting on his swords. "Let's think about this."
Everyone turned to stare at the swordsman in shock. Even Usopp paused mid-panic. "Z-Zoro?!"
The green-haired fighter smirked. "If we let him on board... we can keep an eye on him. Better than leaving this bastard free to keep poisoning towns."
Sanji blew out a frustrated smoke ring. "And when he inevitably tries to drug us all in our sleep?"
Mira giggled, twirling a lock of hair around her finger. "Master wouldn't do that... probably~"
Takuya chuckled darkly. "I like the way you think, swordsman. But here's my counteroffer—" He pulled out a normal cookie from his good jar and took an exaggerated bite. "I'll stick to making these for you lot. The special recipe stays ashore."
Luffy's stomach growled loud enough to rattle nearby windows. "DEAL!"
"WE DIDN'T AGREE TO ANYTHING!" Nami shrieked, veins bulging at her temples.
The Negotiation Descends Into Chaos
What followed was:
- Luffy bouncing around Takuya like an excited puppy ("You can sleep in the pantry!")
- Usopp trying (and failing) to build an anti-cookie contingency plan
- Sanji and Zoro reluctantly agreeing this might be the least bad option
- Nami calculating exactly how much to charge Takuya for passage
- Mira already redecorating a corner of the ship in her mind
As the crew argued, Buggy finally managed to crawl free from the trampling mob, only to see:
- His target (Luffy) making friends with a new crewmate
- His revenge plot in shambles
- His dignity thoroughly crushed
"GYAAAAH! THIS IS THE WORST DAY EVER!" he wailed before a wayward crate bonked him on the head.
Meanwhile, Smoker finally emerged from the pile of townspeople, his coat torn and cigar missing. "STRAW HAAAAAT!" he roared... just in time to see the Going Merry setting sail, with two new figures aboard.
Takuya waved cheekily from the deck. "Better luck next time, captain~"
And as the ship disappeared over the horizon, the last thing heard was Luffy's joyous shout:
"MEAT AND COOKIES FOR EVERYONE!"
The moment the Straw Hats returned to their ship, Takuya immediately claimed a corner of the deck near the galley, transforming it into his personal baking station. Wooden crates were stacked neatly, filled with sacks of flour, sugar, fresh butter, and an assortment of spices that made Sanji's eyebrow twitch in professional curiosity.
But what truly caught everyone's attention—especially Nami's—was the large, locked chest Takuya casually dragged aboard.
"What's in the box?" Usopp asked nervously, eyeing it like it might explode.
Takuya smirked and flipped the lid open.
"GYAAAAAAAAH—!" Nami's shriek nearly knocked Luffy overboard.
Inside the chest were stacks upon stacks of Beri notes, neatly bundled and practically glowing under the sunlight. The sheer amount was enough to make even Zoro whistle in appreciation.
Nami's eyes transformed into Berí signs, her entire body trembling with unrestrained joy. "T-T-T-THIS MUCH?! FROM JUST COOKIES?!"
Takuya chuckled, leaning against the chest like it was just another piece of furniture. "What can I say? People pay well for happiness. This is what I earned in just three days."
Nami's pupils transformed into glittering Beri signs as she stared at the overflowing chest of money. For a moment, the entire world seemed to fade away - the ship, the crew, even the ocean itself disappeared as her brain processed the sheer fortune before her.
"T-T-T-THIS MUCH?! FROM JUST COOKIES?! AND THAT TOO FROM JUST THREE DAYS!" Her voice came out in an octave higher than normal, hands trembling with barely contained euphoria.
In her unrestrained joy, Nami lunged forward and wrapped herself around Takuya in what could only be described as an extremely intimate embrace.
Her arms circled his neck while her body pressed flush against his, her boobs pressing against his chest, her one leg even lifting slightly in her excitement.
Her cheek rubbed against his as she squealed, "Takuyaaaa~! Welcome to the crew! You're absolutely, positively, 100% my favorite person ever!"
Before she could register what was happening, Takuya's hands found her waist - one sliding around to the small of her back while the other pressed firmly against her hip, pulling her flush against him. His smirk turned downright predatory as he made deliberate eye contact with Sanji over Nami's shoulder.
"Why thank you, Nami dear," he purred, his fingers giving a subtle squeeze that made her gasp slightly. "I had no idea my baking skills would earn me such... enthusiastic rewards."
The rest of the crew froze in various states of shock:
- Usopp's jaw hit the deck, "She changed sides so easily,"
- Zoro crossed his arms. "Tch. Figures
- Luffy paused mid-cookie-inhale to blink in confusion
- Mira's smile became dangerously sharp
But the most dramatic reaction came from Sanji. The blonde cook's cigarette fell from his gaping mouth as his eye visibly twitched. His entire body trembled like a volcano about to erupt, his face cycling through expressions of shock, betrayal, and utter devastation.
"W-W-WHAT IS THIS?!" Sanji finally shrieked, his voice cracking. "NAMI-SWAN! YOU'VE NEVER EVEN LET ME HOLD YOUR HAND! AND THIS COOKIE-PEDDLING BASTARD GETS A FULL-BODY HUG AFTER KNOWING HIM FOR THREE HOURS?!"
Then his anger turned towards Takuya, "Y-Y-Y-YOU FILTHY BAKE-SELLING BASTARD!" he shrieked, his entire body contorting in rage. "GET YOUR HANDS OFF NAMI-SWAN'S PURE WAISTLINE THIS INSTANT!"
Nami, still blissfully unaware of how compromising her position looked, continued happily nuzzling against Takuya's shoulder. "Mmm~ Money smells so good~"
Takuya merely chuckled darkly, deliberately running one hand up Nami's back in a slow, teasing motion. "Oh? But she came to me, cook-san. Shouldn't you respect a lady's choices?"
Sanji collapsed to his knees, dramatically clutching his chest. "This...this is the cruelest twist fate has ever dealt me! To see my beloved Nami-swan in another man's arms! And a baker no less! The betrayal!"
Mira giggled behind her hand while Luffy scratched his head. "Shishishi! Sanji's being weird again!"
Nami, finally registering the compromising position, stiffened in Takuya's arms. Her face burned crimson as she processed:
1. Her chest pressed against his
2. His hands in very... specific places
3. Sanji's impending meltdown
"W-Wait a second-!" she began, pushing against his chest.
But Takuya wasn't done. He leaned down, his lips brushing the shell of her ear as he whispered just loud enough for Sanji to hear: "Though if this is the welcome I get for bringing money aboard... I should empty my vault more often~"
Sanji's soul visibly left his body. He collapsed to his knees, then face-planted onto the deck, twitching violently. Sanji was now lying face-down on the deck, muttering darkly about "unfair advantages" and "cookie-based seduction techniques." Then he suddenly stood up, "I... I need to learn... to bake..." he whimpered into the wood.
Zoro rolled his eyes. "Idiot cook. Just be glad she's not charging you for the show."
Mira clapped her hands together with disturbing delight. "Oh my~ Master works fast, doesn't he?"
Zoro pinched the bridge of his nose. "I'm going below deck. Wake me when the idiocy is over."
Luffy, completely missing the subtext, cheered with a mouth full of cookies: "SHISHISHI! GROUP HUG!" and launched himself at the entangled pair, sending all three crashing into the money chest in a tangle of limbs.
Takuya raised an eyebrow at the whole display before shrugging and turning back to his ingredients. "Right. Well. Anyone want cookies?"
"ME!" Luffy shouted immediately, the awkward moment forgotten as quickly as it had begun
As the Going Merry sailed toward the Grand Line, the scent of freshly baked cookies mixed with the salty sea air.
And somewhere behind them, Smoker's furious roar still echoed across the waves.
"STRAW HAAAAAT! THIS ISN'T OVER!"
Takuya, lounging against the railing, just smirked and tossed another cookie into his mouth.
"Oh, it's only just begun."
