The Cook and the Pirate Princess: Sanji X Reader

Chapter 21: Law In Sanji's Shoes

SLAM!

You fell over as the high speed boat came to a sudden halt. We... Must have... Arrived at the base... Of the World Government. You told yourself with a whimper. Ichiji was a gentleman, picking you up gently. Even arranging your clothes back to their original place. Like he cared.

"We have arrived young princess" Ichiji spoke with an evil smirk. You... Didn't even acknowledge him. "You know its our choice to hand you over to the government or not"

"Damn you..." You growled with clenched teeth. Bringing your handcuffs to your mouth. Biting down on the chain, trying your very hardest to not scream.

"Quit hurting yourself princess" Ichiji didn't laugh but he was on the brink. Forcing your head up, taking the chain from between your teeth.

"Ichiji... I am not a princess. You... You implanted those lies into my brain."

"Fine. Daughter of Red Hair. I am offering escape from everlasting despair" you froze once Ichiji cupped your cheeks with his gloved hands. "Want to know why I erased your father and husband from your memories?"

"Why?" You could just barely say.

"My own father hates pirates. More than he does Sanji. Ever since you got your first wanted poster as a child..." Ichiji turned your face manually towards a wall that held dozens of wanted posters. But dead center, was your first wanted poster.

Red Hair's Daughter
250,000,000

Your lost adolescent face on the poster brought back much more memories than ever before. Your tears the strongest they ever were. "What about me?" You swallowed thickly.

"I've fallen in love. With some heavy digging, learning that you and Sanji had a thing going. I personally altered you into a princess. When you became of age, I was going to ask for your hand in marriage. The offer is still open" Niji and Yonji stood with puzzled expressions. They had no clue this was their elder brother's plan all along. Ichiji fell in love with me when I was ten? I meet Sanji at ten and get stolen from my family at ten. Ichiji did all of this...

"Fuck your offer! Why would I betray the love of my life for someone who turned my life into a living hell?" You shouted with poison in your threats. Chomping down on your steel handcuffs, making sure to swallow a shard of the chain. Turning your own fist into steel, hooking Ichiji in the jaw. Blood flew every direction upon the impact, as the demon fell to the ground out cold.

To protect his elder, Niji kicked at you. His body engulfed in blue electricity. Niji was actually aiming his kicks precisely, more like warning shots that'd come from a gun. You could tell he was definitely holding back. These brothers have a heart after all...

The thought brought you both to a standstill. Your fist still made of steel, not pulling back. "You won't hurt a pregnant woman. That's a fact" you huffed with exhaustion but still had authority in your voice. Showing no fear.

"I am not afraid to hurt or kill a woman. But this is a whole other matter" Niji's blue electricity retreated back within his modified body. "Yonji, get her out of here" The green brother forced your arms behind your back. A pair of sea prism cuffs replaced your broken ones. Leaving you heaving for air, all will and energy was stolen from your body.

Escorted off of the high speed boat that had belonged to the Vinsmoke family. To the headquarters of the all things Military. The World Government. There was no denying that even now the Straw Hats couldn't help. There was just a little bit of hope left in you. It wasn't going to keep you going.

The golden submarine was your last hope.

"Damn It Law just talk already!" Sanji pounded his fist upon the table. For moments now the transponder snail was only making inaudible screeching noises on Law's end. The tension was so thick anybody could feel it, heck even see it. Till finally...

"Again, my time is short so hear my every word" Law had finally spoken up. Sanji nodded once eagerly. "I was called to a meeting of the seven warlords for one of two reasons. Keep away from the World Government" Sanji, Zoro, and Chopper gasped hearing the dreaded news. Such a warning from Law, one of the seven warlords himself, meant well everything.

"Why Law, can you tell us why? (Y/n) is heading there as we speak" Sanji tried to keep calm but in the end failing as Zoro had to take the snail out of his hands before Sanji could destroy it with his growing rage.

"Too late Cook. She's already here" Sanji choked nearly falling over stiff as a board.

"Just explain what the two reasons as to why you got called down to the government anyways" Zoro butchered his speech just a little bit but at the same time he couldn't exactly react.

"The government plans to dispose of (Y/n) after I deliver your child. To gain her devil fruit as I had feared and to try and end the Pirate Age much like they had tried with Fire Fist-ya" Zoro and Sanji knew the plan was well... Not fool proof but if it succeeds WILL end the Pirate Age or even more...

They disposed of the son of the King of the Pirates, and an Emperor then. Now they want to wage war with the Straw Hats a few Warlords and an Emperor. It was Shanks who ended the Paramount War. You are his daughter. (Y/n)'s death will start another war. A war that Shanks won't just simply end.

"Thanks... Sanji is now as white as a ghost." Zoro tried to joke around to take away some tension but in the end failed.

"Law..." Sanji finally spoke up after moments of silence. "You're my only hope now... Save her... Save her... Save her..." Sanji repeated like a broken record. The want to barg in there and save you was strong. But... No matter how many ways Sanji looked at the situation at hand, nobody would make it out alive.

"I'll try my hardest Cook-ya"

The snail went to sleep. Law had hung up. Sanji was sat into a chair carefully. Deep down... Everyone had low hopes of either you or Law's return.

_________

You were lying down on an uncomfortable bed. In an uncomfortable pose. Bearing uncomfortable injuries after you had just undergone long beatings as a form of torture. Someone and honestly you couldn't care, stepped into your cell. Locking the door behind himself.

"Can I have a break?" You winced in pain unable to move. Or unwilling to move.

"Now why would I do that-ya?" Your eyes shot open to the all too familiar voice.

"Law" you couldn't help but cry, pouncing on the raven haired man in a desperate hug. You weren't more thankful in your entire life to have someone you knew, near.

"I bring both bad and good news" Law returned your desperate needs for comfort. "You aren't living past the baby's birth." Law told you, regretting that he had even brought it up. But it looked as if you couldn't care less. "Sanji is putting your life in my hands. I promise on my own life, that you won't die."

That was...

Until the baby decided to ruin the needed moments of comfort.

Law won't break his promise.
