The ship's deck had barely settled from the earlier chaos when Sanji came charging out of the galley like a man possessed, wielding a frying pan in one hand and a butcher's knife in the other. His eyes burned with righteous fury, his blonde hair disheveled from his mental breakdown.
"LISTEN HERE, YOU COOKIE-PUSHING PIRATE SCUM!" Sanji roared, pointing the knife at Takuya with deadly precision. "THERE'S ONLY ONE CHEF ON THIS SHIP, AND IT'S NOT SOME BACK-ALLEY BAKER WHO—"
Crunch.
Sanji's tirade cut off abruptly as Takuya casually popped another cookie into his mouth, chewing slowly with exaggerated pleasure. "Mmm... these really are good. You sure you don't want one, cook-san?"
Sanji's eye twitched violently. "WHY YOU LITTLE—"
Before he could lunge, Nami's fist connected with the back of Sanji's head with a resounding THWACK!
"Enough!" Nami barked, her face still slightly flushed from earlier. "We have bigger problems than your fragile ego, Sanji!" She gestured wildly toward the horizon, where dark storm clouds were gathering. "Like the fact that we're sailing straight into a typhoon!"
The Storm Approaches
The crew snapped to attention as the first gust of wind nearly knocked Usopp overboard.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SOMETHING SOONER?!" Usopp wailed, clinging to the mast for dear life.
"I WAS DISTRACTED BY MONEY!" Nami shot back, as if this explained everything.
Luffy, completely unfazed by the impending storm, was already at the figurehead. "SHISHISHI! THIS IS GONNA BE FUN!"
Zoro sighed and began securing loose barrels. "Just another day with these idiots..."
As the crew scrambled to prepare for the storm, Takuya calmly secured his baking supplies before turning to Mira. "Bring out the emergency rations."
Mira nodded and produced a small, ornate box from within her dress. When she opened it, the crew froze—inside were dozens of perfectly shaped cookies, each glowing faintly with an unnatural sheen.
"Wait... are those—?" Usopp began, paling.
"The special recipe," Takuya confirmed with a dark smile. "One bite, and you won't feel fear, pain, or exhaustion for hours." He held one out toward Sanji. "Care to test it, chef? Might help with the storm."
Sanji recoiled as if burned. "ARE YOU INSANE? I'D RATHER DROWN THAN—"
CRACK!
A massive wave slammed into the ship, cutting off his protest. The deck tilted violently, sending everyone scrambling for handholds—except Takuya, who remained perfectly balanced, cookie still extended.
"LAST CHANCE," he called over the howling wind.
Nami, struggling to maintain her grip on the helm, made the call. "GIVE ME ONE!"
"Nami-swan, NO—!" Sanji's cry was lost in the storm as Nami snatched the cookie and devoured it in one bite.
Instantly, her pupils dilated, her grip on the wheel steadied, and a manic grin spread across her face. "I CAN SEE THE WIND PATTERNS! I CAN CALCULATE EVERY WAVE! THIS IS AMAZING!"
Luffy's eyes sparkled. "WOAH! GIMME ONE TOO!"
"NO!" Zoro and Sanji shouted in unison, but it was too late—Luffy had already swiped a cookie and swallowed it whole.
"YEEEEHAW!" Luffy whooped, his body stretching wildly as he grabbed the sails with rubbery limbs. "I CAN FIGHT THE STORM NOW!"
Usopp looked ready to faint. "WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!"
The ocean roared like a living beast as a forty-foot wave loomed over the Going Merry's starboard side. Rain lashed the deck horizontally, each drop striking like a bullet. Yet amidst the chaos, one figure stood defiant at the bow.
"GUM-GUM... WAVE PUNCH!" Luffy's arms elongated impossibly far before slamming into the wall of water with enough force to create a temporary canyon in the storm surge. Seawater exploded in all directions, drenching the ship but preventing a direct hit.
At the helm, Nami's eyes darted across invisible wind patterns only she could see, her pupils dilated to black pools. "Portside 28 degrees! No, 29! Wait, negative 29!" she cackled, spinning the wheel violently. "The currents are singing to me! They want us to dance~!"
"YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE US DANCE STRAIGHT TO THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN!" Sanji screamed as he and Zoro found themselves back-to-back near the mainmast, an unprecedented alliance born of desperation.
"Shut up and hold this rope, shit-cook!" Zoro growled, teeth clenched around Wado Ichimonji as they struggled to retie a snapped rigging line.
"YOU shut up, shit-swordsman! And stop breathing on me!"
Their bickering was cut short when another wave sent the ship listing dangerously to port. Usopp clung to the crow's nest, his prayer reaching hysterical levels: "Moshi Moshi Buddha sama and Jesus sama and all those gods I forgot the name of please please PLEASE don't let us die-"
Takuya remained unnaturally calm at the center of the deck, one hand casually gripping a support beam while the other held Mira close. The baker's coat flapped violently in the wind, yet he maintained perfect balance as if the laws of physics didn't apply to him.
"Master~" Mira giggled, pressing herself against him purposefully as seawater streamed down her face. "They're all so funny when they're scared!"
Takuya leaned against the railing, arms crossed, as he watched the chaos unfold with genuine amusement dancing in his eyes. Luffy's rubbery limbs lashed out like whips, his fists colliding with oncoming waves with enough force to send spray arcing high into the storm-ridden sky.
CRASH!
Another towering wave exploded under Luffy's punch, the impact resonating like cannon fire. Takuya's smirk widened into an uncharacteristically bright grin, his usual composed demeanor cracking just slightly.
"Now that's something you don't see every day," he mused, shaking his head in disbelief. "I knew he was strong, but watching him manhandle the ocean itself? That's a whole other level."
Mira, still clinging to his arm like a content cat, giggled into his sleeve. "Master~ Are you actually impressed?"
Takuya didn't deny it. "Hard not to be. I've seen some crazy shit, but this?" He gestured at Luffy, who was now laughing as he clotheslined a wave mid-crest. "This is just ridiculous."
His voice dropped to a mutter, just loud enough for Mira to hear. "And way funnier in person than it ever was on screen."
Nearby, Sanji and Zoro were locked in a desperate battle against the storm—and each other.
"MOVE, YOU SHITTY SWORDSMAN!" Sanji snarled, narrowly avoiding a flying barrel. "I NEED TO SECURE THE GALLEY!"
"Tch. Like hell I'm letting you hog all the good booze!" Zoro shot back, slicing a loose rope with one of his blades.
Takuya snorted. "And there's the legendary teamwork."
Nami, still riding the high of Takuya's special cookie, was cackling like a madwoman as she spun the ship's wheel with unnatural precision. "FIVE DEGREES STARBOARD! NO, PORT! WAIT—BOTH!"
Usopp, meanwhile, had lashed himself to the mast and was currently negotiating with the storm itself. "PLEASE, MR. TYPHOON! WE'RE JUST A SMALL, INNOCENT SHIP! TAKE THE SEA KING NEXT DOOR INSTEAD!"
Takuya couldn't help it—he laughed, a sharp, genuine sound that cut through the wind. "This crew is gold."
As Luffy ricocheted off the mast to uppercut another wave, sending seawater raining down in a glittering arc, Takuya actually clapped.
"That's your captain?" he asked Mira, grinning. "No wonder the World Government's pissed."
Mira tilted her head. "Master~ Are you…enjoying it?"
Takuya's smirk returned, but there was no hiding the glint of admiration in his eyes. "Call it professional respect. Anyone who fights the ocean for fun deserves some credit. Just like me who took the whole town by surprise in just 3 days."
Then, Takuya spoke a bit more louder, so Luffy could hear: "HEY, LUFFY! TRY KICKING THE NEXT ONE!"
Luffy's head whipped around, his grin stretching even wider. "SHISHISHI! OKAY!"
And with that, he leapt off the deck, sandals-first, into the face of an oncoming tsunami.
As the storm raged on, Takuya made a mental note:
This crew? Way better than TV.
Then ship suddenly dropped into a trough between waves, the deck tilting nearly 45 degrees. Usopp's scream reached new octaves as he slid down the mast like a wet noodle, only to be caught at the last second by Sanji's leg.
"OI! Long-nose! Make yourself useful and-"
"INCOMING!" Zoro bellowed as a freak wave curled directly over the stern.
Nami's head snapped up, her drug-enhanced senses detecting the danger milliseconds before impact. "HARD TO STARBOARD! NOW NOW NOW!" She spun the wheel with inhuman strength, her manic laughter ringing through the storm. "LET'S RIDE THE LIGHTNING!"
The Merry groaned in protest but obeyed, her bow rising just in time to avoid being swamped. The wave crashed over them like a waterfall, but the angle sent most of the water cascading off the sides rather than flooding the deck.
As the water cleared, revealing their battered but still floating ship, an eerie silence fell over the crew - except for Nami's continued giggles and Luffy's enthusiastic "THAT WAS COOL! LET'S DO IT AGAIN!"
Takuya finally released his grip on the beam, brushing seawater from his sleeves with deliberate calm. His eyes met Sanji's across the deck, and with deliberate slowness, he brought a cookie to his lips and took a bite.
The message was clear: I don't need drugs to survive your storms.
Sanji's eye twitched violently, his cigarette somehow still clinging to his lips despite the deluge. "I HATE YOU SO MUCH RIGHT NOW."
Zoro collapsed onto a barrel, swords still in hand. "Remind me again why we let them eat those things?"
Usopp, now curled in a fetal position on the deck, whimpered: "Because we're doomed. That's why. We're all doomed."
And through it all, the Going Merry sailed onward - battered, soaked, but miraculously intact - as the first rays of dawn began piercing the storm clouds.
