[Action] HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUFFY!

[gourmet_gams]

[The Sunny is docked at a spring resort island that has a village within a short walking distance. It holds enough population for an easy access TRAVERSE point to be there, but isn't so crowded that it attracts large crowds of the rougher sort of people. The entire island is on the small side, but manages several decently bustling villages with restaurants and shops due to it's infamous spas. So there are options if somehow food runs out, no one will be without options as long as someone is willing to stop partying long enough to run out for more supplies.

And the plans are set for partying, there's enough food for every known Luffy in the contacts to enjoy and then the guests too, a treasure chest cake that is sized correctly and a whole hoard of cupcakes to go with it, fireworks planned for once darkness falls, live music, and enough alcohol to start up a liquor store and then some. Tents have been set up, tables arranged, and everything is ready for the celebration of the year.

Friends, allies, family and all Luffys have been sent the information to access the TRAVERSE point, and information on the islands location for those who wish to sail there instead of relying on the TRAVERSE SYSTEM. And no detail has been missed, no potential whim unseen to. Their treasured captain's birthday has to be perfection. And nothing less than outstanding and spectacular will be tolerated by the planning committee.

A future king deserves nothing but the best.]


((OOC: OPEN POST, Come celebrate, tag around, make toplevels, whatever. Time for one hell of a pirate party.]

[honestly he could go all night, but it's probably for the best that he's actually hungry. Must have worked up an appetite by fighting.]

Yeah, all right. Maybe he won't even notice us if we come up behind him. There'd better be more than vegetables left.

[like, come on, leave some meat for the rest of us, Luffy. He sheathes his swords one after the other and rolls his neck, feeling all nice and loosened up now. He might swing past to grab the booze on his way, too. Or just come back to it, either way.]

[gourmet_gams]

I doubled up on the meats, so there's a chance.

[Sanji can't actually see what's available from here, just that there's enough to look impressive still. There's a chance that Luffy's had most of the meat at this point, but there's more where that came from. It's just not all out at once, because Sanji knows that's asking for Luffy to eat it all. And Sanji is prepared for the appetite of not just their captain, but multiple versions thereof.

If Zoro stops for the booze, Sanji will grab his wine too. If not, they can just go back to the spot to eat. It's just barely out of the way of the bulk of the party and quieter, and he can see almost everything from the area.

It's not a particularly hard task to get past a meat and brother distracted Luffy, although Sanji has to jerk back suddenly when an arm stretches out violently and nearly knocks him over on the way to grab at another large piece of meat on the bone.]

[yourotherleft]

[thank heaven for haki, really, it's about the only thing keeping Zoro from getting accidentally punched in the face right now. He flails a bit in the opposite direction to avoid that arm and then ducks, going in low to sneak at a plate. What did he get? Hm, fish. Eh, that'll do. He gestures to Sanji, though it's hard to tell whether his pointing means "do you want some of this?" or "can you grab the onigiri while I do this?"

Whatever, as long as they have food at the end of this valiant charge and can slip back to the bench with the booze to enjoy it.]

[gourmet_gams]

[It really is hard to guess at gestures, especially when they're trying to stealth mode snag food from right behind the back of the most dangerously enthusiastic eater possible. Sanji finally just grabs a tray, and makes good use of his fancy footwork, quick steps getting him around the table to grab at things they both might enjoy. It doesn't take him long to get a decent selection for them. And he's finished not a moment too soon, this time one of the other Luffys that have shown up for the party actually slingshots himself towards the table.

Honestly Sanji is lucky to escape with the food he has. But he makes his way back to the table after that, the cuisine carnage now in the distance.] Shit. [He's honestly surprised that worked. Their food run was a success.]

[yourotherleft]

[Shit yeah it was, and whew, their timing couldn't be any better. Eesh, more than one of him? Zoro looks back over his shoulder as he follows Sanji back to the bench] ...oh boy, now we're really in for it. One's bad enough, then you multiply it by Ace...

[right, so he got grilled fish and...cheese? So they don't taste good together but eh, it's food. And hey, the booze didn't get knocked over or stolen, so bonus! He flops down and reaches for the bottle, taking a swig.]

'Bout time you sat your ass down and ate like a human being with the rest of us. [with a smirk, as he picks up a fish to gnaw on. He will never not look for something to needle the cook about]

[gourmet_gams]

[Sanji knows he made enough, he made what borders on too much honestly, and when he sees Luffy's mouth stretch over a tray that Sanji couldn't hold easily with both arms spread out he still wonders if it's possible that he miscalculated how much to cook.] How many of them actually made it here? No. Never mind. Don't tell me. I don't want to know.

[Once comfortably seated, Sanji pours himself another glass of wine, to go with the hodgepodge of food he managed to snag, the tray pushed to between them so they can both grab things off of it. It's not all for him, after all. He eyes what's closest to him, within easy reach, to see his prospective snacks.

Mmm, onigiri, cured meat, and stuffed fish. What a combo.

Whatever. He knows it all tastes good. So if nothing else, it's an issue of eating it separately and enjoying the fact that he managed to get a pretty good spread despite more than one Luffy and Ace within view.

Sanji rolls his eyes at Zoro's comment, but there's really nothing behind it. He's too busy stuffing his face with what might be the best onigiri he's ever made. Sanji is consistently skilled, but sometimes he manages to do better than even his standards would normally allow depending on the ingredients available. And this mess of a place they're in at least pulls together some of the best food he's managed to try. There's that going for it, if nothing else.

Chew. Swallow. Drink of wine. Continue.] I should have left you to fend for yourself.

[yourotherleft]

You can't let me go hungry and you know it.

[he shoots that smartass comment back easily, while likewise grabbing some of the onigiri and devouring it. Goes good after a workout and god yes how can he manage to top himself with something so simple as rice with a little topping and a stuffed center? But the cook sure has. Mmm. Zoro's silent compliment comes in the form of sitting there licking his fingers to get every last touch of salt and nori]

I see you managed to grab my favorite before I could get to it.

[AHEM]

[gourmet_gams]

That's the only reason I feed you.

[Sanji appreciates that Zoro is enjoying his food. Not that he's going to say it, of course.

And wait, Sanji grabbed the favorite? Hmmm. That's something he can work with. He knows that Zoro enjoys the onigiri he makes as a rule, but this particular flavor will be further noted for later. But for now, he's going to be an ass about it, because he can.] Your favorite? Too bad.

[Sanji holds up the rest of the onigiri he's been working on. And he looks Zoro in the eyes while taking a large bite out of it. And he chews it slowly, eating it like it's the best food he's ever had in his life. Because sometimes, words aren't enough, and the best insult is to savor a fantastically made bit of food right in front of the person who wanted it.]

[yourotherleft]

[oh you absolute piece of shit...

Zoro does his best to pretend like he doesn't care but there's definitely a vein pulsing in his forehead as he picks up his half-full bottle and drinks straight from it, locking his good eye on Sanji right back. Dare you to make him use a glass.]

Do that again and I'll slap it right out of your hand.

[even if he just finished a fight it will be on - again]

[gourmet_gams]

You do that and I never make this type of onigiri again, bastard. [Don't mind him, he's gonna finish off his last bite quickly, and lick his fingers shamelessly now. It's delicious, see? He's not brazenly staring him in the face this time at least, because he's not wanting food to go to waste if they actually do go to blows.

There is one more on his side, nestled behind the large piece of stuffed fish. And he really is tempted to just eat that one too, slowly and right in front of him, for the sake of starting a fight.

They really can't behave themselves.]

[yourotherleft]

[some sadistic streak in Zoro really wants to see what the cook would do to him if he wasted food, but thankfully, a nice boozy haze and the delicious food have him less interested in coming to blows than half an hour ago or whatever it was. He makes sure to let his one-eyed stare linger just long enough to convey exactly how unimpressed he is with this petty display and then goes back to the grilled fish he picked up. Nice and salty, mmm.]
