”You know…..Gol D. Rogers was married, right?”

A simple question. That’s all it was. While Luffy was excited to explore the new island, filled with high trees, cliff sides, and various mountain areas, the rest of the Straw Hat Crew was silently debating. Their Captain isn’t the sharpest sword at sea, but just how gullible was he?

”How can you be expected to take his place as King of Pirates unless you follow in his exact footsteps?”

It was harmless really. Sanji had been pranked this very same way by his mentor and savior, Zeff. The poor womanizer had spent days out in the sun, earning a laugh from the chefs at the Baratie.

”It’s simple, all you have to do is hold out your arms and scream to the heavens, ‘Bring me my bride!’ Got it?”

The crew watched, holding in their laughter as Luffy pranced around and shouting at the top of his lungs. Nami and Robin were looking off with neutral interest. Ussop, Franky, and Chopper were laughing. Zoro was napping as always, while Sanji was just glad he wasn’t the only one to fall for this prank. However, in an island of very tall natural beauty, things do tend to fall….

“Oh great whoever is up there, hear me now!! I will be the next King of Pirates and I will be just like Rogers!!! BRING. ME. MY. BRIDE!!!!!” Silence. A snap. And a scream before you landed in Luffy’s arms. Stunned and confused, everyone went into a panic as Luffy just stared. It worked?! Poor Sanji. He could be heard in the background screaming his head off for his ‘perfect bride’.
