Disclaimer: I got told in review that I should also mention the source of my inspiration. Okay. Odachi owns One Piece and the characters. I got the inspiration of the plot form ‘The Extra Kobayashi’ by Masami Morio. If you read her work (the manga), you’ll find some similarities in the matters of character placing in early chapter, yes, I admit I got the idea and situation from there, but you’ll find it completely different after some times.
Warning: AU, hints of shounen ai, highschool things, possibly oOC (especially Eustass Kidd, because he’s so hard to write! DX-but I will try my best to make them all IC)
Summary: Bermuda Triangle, that’s how everyone in One Piece Academy calls a set of the foul-mouthed Sanji, the scary-violent Zoro and the tricky-moody Kid. Still, no one could actually see the real them. No one, except this new boy who just transferred to their high school…
A/N: Gaah, it’s later than I’d expected! Sorry for making you wait for a long time… I got caught up in a very nasty work and couldn’t escape so… Anyway, since last time I tried to seek any beta (and boy I got a lot of offers), I still decided to check this thing myself… Not that I doubt you all. I know some of you are native English speaker and definitely better than me in English, but writing and then sending it to be beta-ed first (not knowing if the beta can immediately check the work and send it back) somehow makes me a bit uneasy. After all, I’ll have to make you wait for longer times, so… please bear with some errors in this work. Human aren’t perfect, still, I’ll do my best to lessen the mistakes.
Additional Warning: just like the previous, completely bizarre ideas of mischief, possibility of oOC-ness characters, hints of shounen ai (SanLu, ZoLu, KiddLu, everyone x Luff), foul languages and a bit of violence.
And as expected, the post is too big, so you have to go to the next part to read the rest... Saa, ENJOY! XD
Extra Happiness Color
Chapter 4: First Victory A
It was still pretty morning when Sanji went to school. Last time he checked the clock, it was still 7 a.m. The class started at 9 a.m. If you asked why he would leave his house so early, he would say it was because he had a bad night.
Last night… Sanji couldn’t sleep right. He was restless and worried for some reason. He hadn’t got Luffy’s number and address, so he couldn’t check on him. After all, he and that dangerous red-head went home together. Well, Luffy was a boy and Sanji was sure the black haired boy could take care of himself, but…
Luffy is too cute for his own good. What if he’s attacked by that wolf!?-Sanji scratched his head a bit curtly that messed his hair after that. Damned, he couldn’t show that pathetic look to the ladies. Might be, he would stop by a public toilet to fix his appearance a bit.
Sanji sighed as he walked slowly. “It was that goddamned marimo’s fault…!” he muttered slightly in annoyance. In the end, last night they couldn’t find both Luffy and Eustass. The marimo turned out to be a retarded brainless alga who couldn’t tell which east and west were. His internal compass was completely screwed up for sure.
Sanji found a public toilet and entered. He only wanted to borrow the mirror so he could somehow mask the traces of losing sleep. He should appear charming for everyone and he wouldn’t let a losing sleep ruin his image. Finishing checking and fixing his appearance, the blond class leader got out and walked faster to school. He thought he could do some works for the class before everyone came, so he wouldn’t be busy at the break time and he could ask Luffy out to have lunch together... with him.
Short time later, Sanji arrived at the school gate. As he had expected, there’s still no one around. The guard had opened the gate though. Well, most students would come later since they lived in dormitory.
Yep, One Piece Academy had private dormitories inside school area for students whose house was far away from school. It was one of the facilities the school offered. Of course, the students were free to stay, and most decided to take the offer since it would be more convenient for them. Still, there were also some who liked privacy on their life outside the school like Sanji who chose to stay with his father. Some famous students like Nefertari Vivi and Nico Robin also lived outside.
Speaking about Nico Robin… she hadn’t attended the school since the winter break ended. Not that Sanji wanted to disturb her private life… but being absent for a month was a bit… Well, he was just slightly worried since Robin was one of the most beautiful ladies he had ever met. Her family was also famous since she was born among geniuses. Her mother and grandfather were very famous researchers that found the lost land Skypiea from the strange series of historical stones, Poneglyph. It was said that they were the only one who could read the letters craved on those stones.
Maybe Robin-chan enrolled One Piece Academy with special recommendation… since she probably can read those letters as well-Sanji thought.
Anyway, that wasn’t the problem now. If only he could get her address, then Sanji might be able to visit her; or probably to deepen their relationship… as mutual friends. Robin always seemed more grown-up than everyone else after all.
Sanji grinned at the thought of being an acquaintance of Robin’s mature beauty.
“Smiling by yourself so early in the morning…, have you finally lost it?”
A very familiar annoying voice came from behind and instantly, a vein popped on Sanji’s head.
“Mind your own damned business, moss-head!” Without even have to look at the intruder of his peaceful train of thought, Sanji lashed out an attacked with his heel. Of course, it was immediately deflected by a long stick covered by dark soft material, probably his wooden sword.
“And you’re such a pansy as always,” Zoro smirked at him provocatively behind his defense.
Sanji narrowed his eyes at the green haired bastard and huffed at him, when somehow, he could read the other’s intention. “Hah, you just want to take some frustration out.” He lifted his feet and put it down slowly on the ground, not releasing his guard if the marimo decided to be an asshole and attack him.
Zoro also narrowed his eyes at Sanji as he lowered his weapon as well; then he scowled a bit. “Why would I be frustrated?” he looked at another way, appearing not interested, but Sanji was a master in reading people’s mood.
“Liar. Just say it that you’re also worried about Luffy,” Sanji scoffed and Zoro was officially found out.
The green haired boy ran a hand through his spiky short hair. He sighed slightly as he frowned, looking a bit tired. It seemed he also had a rough night because there were bags under his eyes. He opened his mouth slightly, like he wanted to say something, but then he hesitated and closed his mouth again. He looked a bit confused, not knowing how to voice his thought.
“So you can be social as well, huh?” Sanji asked, not particularly interested. He had heard so many rumors about this green haired thing, yet he didn’t know which was true and which was made up. Well, the marimo could do whatever he wanted for all Sanji’s care though.
“Of course I can. I am human,” Zoro sighed again with a hint of annoyance now.
“So… got any information about Luffy?” Sanji asked, shouldering his bag.
“Actually, no. How come you expect me to come up with something like that?” Zoro threw a suspicious look at Sanji.
“Since you might have any acquaintance with people on the street… you’re a bad boy Roronoa Zoro after all,” Sanji smirked.
“As if…,” Zoro muttered something about ‘another ridiculous rumor’ or something like that while rolling his eyes.
“Last time I got called by that red head, I was led to a den of wolfs,” Sanji confessed, continuing his walk without looking at Zoro. “I beat the shit out of them though.”
“Same here,” Zoro’s reply came right after, from Sanji’s side. The blond noticed he was in more serious look.
“If by any chance Luffy got the same treatment…,” Sanji narrowed his visible eye and growled heatedly.
Zoro was silent for a moment before saying “You seem pretty attached the new boy.”
Sanji stopped and glanced at him with dangerous eyes. “So what?”
“No… just a bit, you know, weird. You seem always more cautious when you’re with boys,” Zoro grunted a bit and ran his hand through his hair again.
Sanji was a bit surprised when he heard that. Did he really look like that? Cautious wasn’t the best choice of words about his attitude. Sanji was sure he had appeared to hate dudes. “I didn’t know you’re staring.” Then he decided to tease him a bit.
“I wasn’t.” Zoro glared at Sanji in annoyance again and Sanji couldn’t help laughing a bit.
Sanji didn’t know much about Zoro outside the rumors and the fact that the green haired boy also lived outside the school dormitory. Well, Zoro was a bit different from Sanji’s first impression about his personality. Their first meeting wasn’t exactly good after all. Everything started with violence. Of course, Sanji and Zoro had ever exchange fist… err, kicks and swings (of wooden sword) or whatever it was called, several times since then, but the more they knew each other, the more the blond boy noticed that there was never any severity or real hatred in those little fights. It was more like a way to annoy and aggravate each other, and might be, a mean of communication, and Sanji was quite pleased since he got an excuse to kick someone else’s ass and could drop all the pretenses he put up.
Actually, calling his act a pretense was a not quite accurate. Sanji was sure he acted according what he considered right and wrong, and was proud enough with the way he led his life, yet somehow… in the corner of his heart somewhere, he couldn’t really show his true self. He could really be him when he was fighting and cooking, yet the later was still a secret from everyone else. Luffy was the first one to know that he could cook well, and he intended to keep it that way.
Anyway, Sanji had a reason why he thought that way, being a bit secretive and all.
“Okay then, maybe you just read it too much,” Sanji flailed his hand dismissively and Zoro huffed at him, more annoyed.
“Ah, Sanji! Zoro!”
Both boys reacted in the same times as a voice called them from behind. They turned their heads at the direction and saw a figure of a black haired boy wearing white buttoned shirt and dark blue trousers. His straw hat was hanging and swaying on his neck as he was running at them.
“Luffy!?” Sanji was quite pleased as he realized who it was. He could see from the corner of his eyes that Zoro sighed in a relief as well… might be. Sanji set his happy smiling face until the boy was three meters away from Zoro and him, but then he widened his eyes in horror as he noticed the bandages on Luffy’s head and cheek. “XOAS^%#Y$!?” he couldn’t helped shrieking incoherently while pointing at Luffy’s wounds, completely freaked out.
Luffy was surprised at Sanji’s odd reaction while Zoro set his concerned look at Luffy’s feature even though he was also quite freaked out himself… by Sanji’s sudden scream, that was.
“W-w-w-w-what the hell with those wounds!?” Sanji yelled with voice an octave higher than his usual tone.
“Oh, these?” Luffy pointed at the wounds in his cheek and grinned sheepishly. “I fell from the stairs and got scrapped when I landed on the old wooden floor. Got quite a yell from the landlord as well.” He laughed.
“Huh? Falling from the stairs?” Zoro looked dumbfounded.
Still, Sanji didn’t even listen to Luffy as his mind played a very nasty scenario that Luffy was being attacked and humiliated by those wolfs. “Unforgivable… that bastard-Eustass!!” and he roared in rage. “I am so gonna kill him! I’ll chop him and cook him and then I’ll throttle it down to those wolfs’ throats with my own hands-!”
Sanji’s sadistic mode was on and both Zoro and Luffy couldn’t help sweating and paling at those scary sickening mental images of what he would do to Kidd and those wolfs… or whoever they were.
“Uuh, Sanji, Sanji, it’s not Kidd’s fault,” Luffy said slowly trying to calm Sanji down, pretty confused himself of why Sanji would blame Kidd over those injuries.
“What are you saying!? Who’s capable doing something like this other than him!?” Sanji practically shouted at the sky and people around began to stare at them oddly.
“That’s why…, why do you blame him? Kidd got nothing to do with why I fell from stairs,” Luffy put his hands on Sanji’s arm and Sanji instantly had an urge to hug and kiss the boy senselessly. Well, he managed to hold his desire though and short time later, the fact clicked in. “Huh? Wait. What’s with falling from stairs?” he asked with comical flabbergasted look. Had Zoro not been Zoro he would have laughed at the face; he was making a ‘Pft-’ sound though. Luffy had begun to laugh at Sanji’s funny expression.
“This… I meant these wounds, they’re because I fell from stairs and scrapped the floor,” Luffy laughed loudly in humor. “Geez, how come Kid was involved with that?” he still snickered at that.
“Eh… huh? Then… last night you didn’t meet his underlings?” Sanji was completely confused. Zoro was also a bit curious at that. Both were sure that Kidd would do that test to anyone he found interesting. He intended to make everyone suffer with his stupid mischief after all.
“Underlings…?” Luffy frowned a bit and then it clicked. “Ah, those guys… I met them. And they’re really-”
“Running your mouth so much can cause you a disaster.”
Another voice suddenly joined their conversation, cutting Luffy’s line, and both Sanji and Zoro went still and alert the moment they noticed whose voice it was. After all, the hints of naughtiness and mischief were in his every tone and breath. From theft side, behind Luffy, Eustass Kidd walked down the stone stair steps leisurely, wide smirk plastered on his face as if it was his natural facial feature. Zoro and Sanji narrowed their eyes and furrowed deeply, instantly the red-head showed up. As usual, he wore a flashy outfit that oddly suited his feature, so well that it made him look hotter than he was. Note that he wore another dark color for his lipstick today.
“Kidd!” Luffy waved at him, grinning widely in innocent look that for some reasons made Kidd’s smirk falter a bit.
That was the first time Sanji and Zoro saw that kind of expression on the red head’s face. They were stunned that Eustass Kidd could also make a hesitated almost wary look.
Actually… what happened yesterday?-Sanji and Zoro couldn’t help thinking that way.
“Good day for you, huh, Straw Hat?” a few seconds later, Kidd fixed his expression and looked challengingly at Luffy.
“Yeah, of course! Yesterday was really FUN after all!” Luffy beamed childishly.
In what way will being with Eustass be fun?-Sanji and Zoro widened their eyes in ridiculous expression.
“Huh, that’s because you’re in luck. Next time it won’t be that easy,” Kidd forced a smirk and then he left the three as he walked hurriedly, entering the school.
Sanji could have sworn he saw Kidd smile, not smirk but smile, a genuine one, but his eyes must have played a trick to him. There was just no way would that guy smile. Smile and Eustass were an extremely odd combination.
“What happened yesterday, actually?” Zoro asked Luffy directly, but the straw hat boy just grinned mysteriously in a happy face.
“It’s a secret.”
