[under the tree]

[oda_hates_me]

[Nevermind the damn tree. Sanji's more interested in the fruit, when he spots them hanging. He willingly approaches for a closer look, drawn by a chef's disposition that quickly kills off suspicion once he's right underneath the heavy branches. After a quick bite of hesitance... he picks one that is bright red and the paler cousin for comparison, rolling them in his hands and checking for plumpness.

Oh, if only he knew he was holding weapons of mass destruction. And why the urge to eat them both...]

[one_green_eye]

Who says I don't? [with an infuriatingly placid smile] It's usually not what you're saying, so much as how, that's peculiar.

[oda_hates_me]

[So what if you're probably right; ignoring that fact to jab at you more]

Of course you don't - you're Ginko. [That's all that needs to be said]

[one_green_eye]

What's that supposed to mean? [grinning, clearly the jab hurt]

[oda_hates_me]

You're-- [Wait, what does he mean by this?]

You're just. You're Ginko.

[one_green_eye]

[Okay, now he's actually curious as to what that mind of yours is working out, here-- his expression says as much.]

[oda_hates_me]

[hey, if you can't work it out for yourself, Sanji's got nothing to elaborate

And finally grabbing that cigarette]

Forget it. Not a thing you can explain, alright?

[one_green_eye]

Apparently not. [raises an eyebrow, still settled against the roots]

[oda_hates_me]

[Judge him all you want - the effects of the fruit are finally wearing thin and Sanji's able to feel the first sign of relief since he took a bite, making this conversation a lot more bearable. This is all most likely evident by the return of his aggravation]

Shitheads really shouldn't stick a tree right in the middle of town. Everyone's gonna try it.

[one_green_eye]

I thought you said there weren't any effects? [sharp sidelong glance. His scientific inclinations run ahead of tact, for a minute]

[oda_hates_me]

[...... Shit.]

Well-- [clears throat] I meant nothing too severe. They must be going easy on us.

[one_green_eye]

....

Hmm.

[But he looks away, and leaves it at that. Whether that's more cruel or kind is for Sanji to decide. But he won't press-- for more than one reason.]

[oda_hates_me]

... In any case.

Probably better if I don't stick these things in a pie like I planned to.

[one_green_eye]

It sounds like it would take quite a lot to make a pie.

[he thinks. He's seen pies.]

...even if there's no real effect, who knows what that many would do. [see, he's helping you out and everything]

[oda_hates_me]

[you're gonna let him skimp out on this, Ginko? Such a pal. And there's even more relief to be had]

Oh, I'm sure some people are finding out anyway.

If Luffy finds this place...
