【Y/N's dream】

■■■■■■

"I wish I could've died before hearing these words!!" Sanji cried as he grabbed Zoro's collar and pulled him "I should've stayed on the ship with Y/N, why did you get to eat her cooking??!"

The swordsman glared at Sanji while freeing himself from his grip "Then you should've stayed. No one was stopping you from doing it."

"At least be a little grateful!! She cooked you a meal"

"I am grateful for that!!"

"You don't sound like you are"

"What am I supposed to do then?!"

Nami sighed while watching the two fight over a thing that didn't matter to that extent. "Is that a raccoon?!" Y/N asked as she picked Chopper up and examined him but her comment offended the reindeer. "I am not a raccoon!!! I am a reindeer."

"IT TALKS!!"

"Yes because I ate Human-Human fruit and because of that I can transform into a human. It also gave me the ability to talk."

Y/N was amazed by the adorable reindeer. "You are so cute!!" She said and gave him a tight hug. "Hey! Shut up... I am immune to compliments like that." Chopper said while clearly looking flustered upon receiving a compliment. "I thought you guys went to meet a doctor and you came back with a talking reindeer?"

"He is a doctor and our new crew member!" Nami informed.

"WHAT YOU ARE A DOCTOR, CHOPPER?!" Sanji and Luffy shouted in unison.

"You didn't know that? Then what was it about Chopper that impressed you so much?" Nami asked.

"He's a reindeer who can doo seven transformations," Luffy replied followed by Sanji "And an emergency food supply." Sanji's words frightened the poor reindeer and made him jump from Y/N's grasp and walk away.

Y/N chuckled as she saw everyone engrossed in having a party while the snow fell from the sky adding a beautiful sight to enjoy. The female looked up at the sky and put out her hand to catch the snowflakes.

■■■■■■

"Y/N...Winter is beautiful right?"

The five-year-old smiled widely and tried to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky while running around happily. "Mom!! When is dad coming back? The next time he comes, I'll go with him to the wide sea and see all kinds of things."

Her mom held Y/N's arm and stopped her on her track "Now there you little one. Aren't you too young to go to the sea?"

The girl giggled and hugged her mom "No!! The picture book that dad brought for me last time had so many pictures of different places! I wanna see them too."

Her mom looked at the little girl with a sweet smile and fixed her beanie while cupping her cheeks "You can go when you are at least ten years old"

A pout developed on Y/N's face "That's a really long time" She whined. Her mother picked her up and looked at the sky. "If you go then I'll be all alone."

The smile on Y/N's face disappeared as her mother hugged her tighter "I don't want my baby to go away from me."

■■■■■■

"ALRIGHT! ATTENTION EVERYONE!!" Usopp shouted and gained everyone's attention including Y/N who was busy recalling her childhood days. "We have a new member, let's all give a big welcome to our new ship's doctor Tony-Tony Chopper!! Let's toast to chopper!!" Usopp cheered and everyone grabbed onto their drinks and raised them to cheer while Y/N stood a bit far from the rest of the crew and watched over them like they were kids.

"Y/N? Join us!!" Nami called out which was a little shocking for Y/N because Nami would've been the last person she would expect to call her. "No no, you wouldn't like to see me in a drunken state."

"Then pick another drink."

A peal of laughter left Y/N's mouth "What do you think? I am a kid? I am not drinking anything other than sake if it's a party."

"But we won't like it if you don't join!" Vivi said.

"Come on!!"

There was no point in arguing over a small thing like that so Y/N gave in and grabbed a bottle of sake, raised it like the others, and everyone cheered for Chopper. "To our new shipmate! HOORAY!!"

■■■■■■

"Come on guys, the party can't finish just like that!" Y/N said and went on to drink her sixth bottle. "Whose idea was it to let her drink?" Nami asked as she stared at Y/N wobbling around the deck.

"Yours," Everyone said and pointed at her which ended in a big sigh. "She really can't control liquor."

"That's her sixth... She'll pass out soon" Sanji said as he put a cigarette between his lips. "I'll go and try to handle her."

"Don't do it Sanji. I did it and look at my face. She'll attack you!" Usopp warned as he got his wounds treated by Chopper. Y/N was really close to the edge and that worried Usopp when his eyes fell on her. Since she is a devil fruit user, falling into the ocean wouldn't be nice. So, out of concern he tried to move her and ended up getting attacked.

"Y/N darling, in my opinion, you should go to bed." Sanji approached her with a sweet voice but he didn't get a response from her.

"She is strong. That curly brows is done for good if she starts throwing hands." Zoro said as he along with Nami, Usopp and Vivi watched the scene.

"Y/N?" Sanji called out again and this time Y/N finally looked at him and gasped at the sight in front of her. Her heart bloomed and her eyes were fixated on Sanji.

She felt flustered upon seeing the male. "Who- Who are you?"

"You forgot me?" Sanji asked as tears came out of his eyes.

Y/N placed her palm over her mouth and screamed inaudibly. "I have never seen a guy as handsome as you!"

"What?"

"I guess my dream is finally getting fulfilled!"

"What dream?" Sanji asked her while slowly getting flustered.

"A dream of dating a hot guy before I die!!" She shouted out. "And you- You are exactly that!!"

Nami face palmed at Y/N's dumb actions while Zoro chuckled upon recalling Y/N's words when they were talking about their dreams. "So... This was her dream?"

"They say drunk words are sober thoughts" Usopp stated.

"Sanji, you don't have a girlfriend right?" Y/N asked and Sanji couldn't help but blush at her.

"I am 20, I have a lot of free time now. Nothing's stopping me. You know... I met a lady and she told me, girls, my age should date but I refused saying that I was too busy to do that but now I am not! "

"Y/N, you are drunk right now. You should go to bed" Sanji suggested but his words didn't reach the female who was busy walking around and that's when her eyes fell on Zoro.

Her heart bloomed again and her eyes were fixated on Zoro. "YOU!!" She called out which confused the young swordsman.

"What's your name?!"

"Zoro"

"I see... Looks like I have many options. You can't be hasty Y/N!"

"Argh... Guys, we should go to bed. She won't be coming to her senses anytime soon." Nami said. "Plus we are on our way to Alabasta. We should rest because we don't know what we might face there."

The next few chapters will contain the Alabasta arc but I promise it won't be boring. I have seen many books repeating everything that happened in a particular arc and I want to avoid that because everyone already knows what happened.
