"Good morning," Sanji greeted his captain. Something struck him as odd about them running into each other in this part of the hallway, but he couldn't think of why that was.

"Huh? Oh. Good morning, Sanji," Luffy replied, yawning. "Is breakfast ready yet?"

"Of course not, idiot. I just got up."

"Well, make sure that-"

"HEY, WAIT!" the cook interrupted. "Doesn't that room you just came out of belong to the Snake Princess?"

"Yeah."

"Does... that mean you slept with her?"

Having no idea what Sanji really meant by that question, Luffy answered, "Well, we did sleep in the same bed."

"Oh, so that means you didn't have sex with her..." Sanji replied, sounding relieved.

Luffy stared at the cook blankly for a moment.

"What's sex?"

After ascertaining that Luffy was not kidding and did indeed not know what the word 'sex' even meant, Sanji explained it to him. It took considerably more explanation to get Luffy to understand what he was talking about than it would have for a normal person, leaving the cook quite frustrated by the end of the conversation.

"So, to clarify," Sanji said, "you and the princess just slept in the same bed and you didn't have sex?"

"Oh," said Luffy, grinning. "No, we did that too."

The cook just stared at his captain speechlessly. How had that clueless guy managed to get together with the most beautiful woman in the world, seemingly without even realizing how lucky he was? This just proved that life was not fair...

"Anyway, make sure that breakfast has lots of meat in it, Sanji!"

~oOo~

A/N: Sorry for the lack of Hancock in this chapter. I just thought it would be funny to lead the collection with Sanji's reaction to finding out these two are a couple... XD
