"You could be more patient!" Sanji shouted back, kicking both boys out of his space and glaring at them while Sable crawled all over him.

"That's not fair. You have favouritism!" Luffy cried out.

"I do not" the chef denied even as he leaned down to scoop a few raw chunks of meat for the snake who hissed in thanks to him.

"Ya do darlin'" Anamaria replied with a lighter heart this time. She was still unsure as to why she felt so weird when Sanji 'flirted' with other women (but don't worry. Nami will soon tell her) but she decided that it had to stop.

Three days have passed for the crew since Robin's recruitment, and the journey has been for once a peaceful one. While some crew members are still suspicious of Robin, she managed to blend herself into the crew rather nicely and can read almost everyone now.

She's managed to join in the crew's daily activities well by taking the lounge chair next to Nami's and reading a book. When she turns the page, she looks up to see Anamaria sitting on the deck with her back to the mast, on the opposite side of where the sleeping swordsman lies, and reading her own book.

The woman who could control water and was keeping her Devil Fruit a secret interested the archaeologist a lot considering how she was. Robin goes back into her book while Luffy, Usopp and Chopper continue to fish on the railing with their backs to the ship.

"Why can't we catch anything?" Chopper sighs in disappointment as he doesn't get a bite from his fishing rod.

"Maybe this area's the problem. Let's try on the other side of the ship" Usopp tilts his head down to the water and reels his line in to find not even his bait on the hook anymore.

Chopper and Luffy silently agree as they get off the railing with Usopp and head to the opposite side of the deck. Anamaria stands on her feet and approaches the boys who were still busily looking over the deck.

"Cant you help us Ana?" Luffy asked the woman when he noticed her besides them.

"Na" she replied, stretching her arm behind her head.

"How come?"

"I never really-learnt how ta-fish, so I won't be much help on your side of it" Ana said as she scratched the back of her head sheepishly.

"That's unacceptable!" Usopp's eyes widened at the explanation before he scowls at her. Usopp smirks in pride as he grabs the open can of worms that's sitting and starts hooking his bait "Now that I'm in a teaching mood, how about I teach you guys my secret cast?"

"Yea, come on!" Luffy and Chopper look at him with wide eyes before they eagerly nod as the sniper started to teach them how to.

"Ok, first you all need to hook your bait onto the hook" Usopp grins at the excitement. Once all their hooks hold some bait, Usopp puts his finger on top of the clip that's holding the spool of fishing line "Now you have to get ready to release the line as you pull it back and then cast it out as far away from the boat as possible"

He pulls his rod back and, just before he casts it, he pulls the clip to release the line to cast it into the ocean. Luffy and Chopper grin in excitement as the line flies about ten feet from the ship. Usopp grins at the long cast before he turns to the others.

"Then the fish handle the rest. You guys give it a shot now"

Luffy nods as he casts his line out with no problems as it flies out at twice the distance that Usopp casted out. Chopper goes into heavy point just when he found the clip to his pole. The two pirates pull back at the same time, but accidentally pull the clips too early to send their hooks flying backwards. When they pulled forward to cast their lines, they both freeze in shock when they hear something behind them rip.
