6 Sanji's Backstory, Zeff's Shock, Plans
2 months later
Somewhere in East blue, Sambas Region,
Inside a ship called 'Baratie' which is a fairly large ship. It takes an oval shape, with the normal masts but has a fish as a front-piece/head. The Baratie has a round bottom. A small array of cannons are lined on the sides, which can be used for battle. A little blonde chef is practising his cooking with his new little body, you can see him muttering something with a relieved expression.
((Sanji P.O.V) (I am going to call him Sanji now))
'It's been two months now... and the thing annoys me the most is the memories and emotions that the previous Sanji had given me, I mean f*ck! I thought God would just give me Sanji's memories but why did he give me Sanji's emotions too!
Now for the past 2 months, I've been reliving his tragic past in my nightmares, which is annoying... starting from when he was a little kid that cooks for his mom,
then he got bullied by his siblings for being weak,
(A/N: Here's a pic to see the previous Sanji getting bullied (Go to Comment Section))
then his father 'Judge', hoping he disappear because he was weak, put an iron mask on him and locked him in the castle dungeon,
then while trapped in the dungeon, he read about 'Allblue' in a cookbook,
then his brothers found out he was alive and they 'visited' him only to bully him but his sister (Reiju) treated his wounds while saying that she wasn't on his side,
then he told Reiju that he wanted to escape which Reiju broke the prison cell so he can escape,
then when he was fleeing, he runned into his father, who allowed him to go on the condition that he will not reveal about their relationship (Vinsmoke) to the public lest to shame him,
after escaping from his father, Reiju directed him into a ship called the 'Orbit' which accepted him as a cook,
two years later 'Red Leg' Zeff and his crew attacked the Orbit, however the two ship got caught into a storm,
Ironically, Zeff the pirate, saved him from drowning and the two soon got washed onto a rock outcropping, high above the sea, then they got saved by a passing ship.
(A/N: Here's the long-story-short of Sanji's background, you can ignore it if you want but for those who don't remember much, here it is. Btw, I got this from the One Piece fandom (but I reworded it badly, soooorrryyy 😔🤪😵) Sanji has one of the saddest childhood in One Piece so I personally recommend re-watching it coz, reading the fandom doesn't give you the feels and chills...)
All kinds of strong emotions just bombarded me when I sleep, fortunately when I'm awake, the emotions subsides but it's still there. Just last week, the nightmares of Sanji's tragic past stopped,
I thought it was temporarily back then so, I waited till now to confirm that it stopped permanently, though whenever I meet Zeff, the feeling of gratitude and fatherly love surge within my emotions, though I don't hate it, it feel weird... Or was this the feeling of warmth that I yearned from my parents back then? Well, whatever. It doesn't feel bad anyway...' I thought.
While I was rejoicing that there was no more nightmares, I heard the kitchen door open and a blonde man with a braided mustache, he walked towards to me with his legs which, one is a normal leg and the other is a pegged leg.
"Sanji! I told you that, to learn the art of cooking, you have to think about how to improve yourself, you can't just practice and daydream!" Zeff said angrily.
I glare at the old coot and replied with the same anger "Sheesh, not so loud old man. I know what I'm doing!"
(A/N: Just a quick question, do you guys want Sanji to call Zeff "Old Man" or "Oyagi")
"Hmmp! Amateur! If you've heard that my cooking extends to the four seas, then you'll be more appreciative in learning from me." He replied with a scoff.
'I obviously know that! But he too don't know that I have 25 years of cooking experience. Though I am convinced about his culinary skills, I knew from the dishes in the 3 Michelin Restaurants that I've eaten in, that Zeff is a 3 Michelin Chef and his dishes was only peak 3 Michelin Chef, which means that the current Sanji in the mangas has culinary skills that can only be deemed super-legendary back in earth or even in this world.
Due to practising the basics every day and consolidating the knowledge that my family taught me, I was only a 2 Michelin Chef back in my previous life. Looks like I have a lot of practising to d-' As I was daydreaming, I got interrupted by a fist of love that landed on my head.
"SANJI! Even when I'm here, you still dare to daydream?!" Zeff practically squatted and shouted near my ear.
"F*ck! I told you, I know what I'm doing! I angrily replied while rubbing my swollen head and holding my poor probably broken ear.
"You sure have the balls to curse at me!" Zeff said while kicking my bum.
This scene goes on for the whole afternoon...
-------------------------------
Meanwhile in the upper deck, in Zeff's room,
(Zeff P.O.V)
'Smelly brat! Not even listening to me... but his cooking truly shocked me. The first time I asked him to cook for me, I wasn't expecting him to cook a good dish, in fact I was expecting him to make mistakes so I can guide him but when I watched him cook the dish...
The light on the room suddenly flickered and shined on an angle that makes the brat look cool and serious while he was cutting ingredients, then I was slack-jawed.
I wasn't slack-jawed because he was cutting the ingredients in an elegant and fast manner while still being precise, I was slack-jawed because I saw that while the ingredients are being cut, the cutted ingredients flied in the countertop in slow-motion, not only that, the ingredients was stacking by itself like he planned it. It looked like one of those 'stacked champagne glasses'.
(A/N: Just imagine carrots being stacked like this. (Go to Comments-section in this sentence))
It really was bloody unforgettable... It was like nature was helping him cook. His dish was even more amazing, even though it is obviously not par to mine, according to his age which is 10, he's a cooking prodigy so, he only needs a few years to catch up to me. But I will not let him know that... I will try my best to improve and be this brat's motivation.
Hmm, when we we're stranded on the godforsaken rock, he mentioned to me that he wants to see 'Allblue' eh? That was my dream too but I'm old and disabled now... but I can pass my dreams and hope to this brat. But by doing that, he will be on a dangerous journey... I need to train him with my fighting style, they don't call me 'Red-Leg Zeff' for nothing... hehe, I will finally have my very own protege and in the future people can even call the brat 'Red-leg Sanji', just thinking about it makes me excited.'

Meanwhile, a certain blonde boy suddenly got shivers in his spine...

(A/N: Sorry for the late and short chapter, I had assessments to do so, it sucks! 🤣🥱😴
If any of you are wondering what happened to his system, I will explain in the next chapter because I forgot to mention it in this chapter... (SAWRYYYYY 🙏🙏🙏)
As English is my second language, I cannot really express what I wanted to convey in my sentences, but I always google the synonyms for words that can express what I want to convey. Please bear with it as I will eventually 'SLOWLY' improve... maybe in the next 3 years, I can write properly...
I apologise if I did not capture Zeff's character/attitude properly... and in the future I apologise in advance if I don't capture any character's attitude as I'm just a newbie writer...
Thanks for reading my handsome and beautiful readers and I appreciated the comments, reviews, and power stones! Please continue to support me!!! ❤❤❤

Good Night! 😁😉🥱)
