He really was …

Sanji took an enormous sigh. Patience.

“ Yeah … No, Luffy. You gotta shake it with more force. Three full shakes, don't worry. ”

Maybe he could explain better. But for now that was it. Hoping Luffy got the idea …

Luffy's brow furrowed in deep, agonizing concentration.
To him, this was harder than beating Kaido.

⠀⠀⠀“ A few.. careful shakes.. ”

He gave the shaker three stiff flicks.
Three tiny sprinkles of salt fell out.

⠀⠀⠀“ 𝘨𝘈𝘴𝘱— SANJIIII.ᐟ~ I DID IT.ᐟ.ᐟ ”

in their plate. And no, we don't dump a whole jar ... just a few shakes. Like this. ”

He shook the salt Shaker three times on one side in one chicken breast piece only. Then he handed it to Luffy. Hoping his choice of dish was the most simple one for him to learn.

Slightly amused by his expressions, Sanji takes the seasonings shakers.

“ It's not a disguise, Luffy. Seasonings add flavor to the food. You have such a good eating you don't need it to eat, but normally, other people prefer a good seasoning (&&.)
⠀ ⠀

The captain leans closer, squinting.
Genuinely interested.

⠀⠀⠀“ It looks naked.. definitely not like the chicken I used to find..
Seasoning? Is that, like.. putting on a disguise?
So we have to make it not-naked, right? Do we dump a whole jar of spice on it? ”

the best is to hide the most the taste of raw and unsalty meat and grill it properly. ”

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
He finished washing his hands as well, just to dry them and take out a plain pan that he placed over the stove. Waving him to step closer.

“ You got the idea but the key there is the seasoning. Even if it doesn't have much flavor, &&.
⠀ ⠀

“ Mmmmmmmm, well... it ain't meat.. ”

To Luffy, red meat is the only type of meat in existence.

⠀⠀⠀“ But chicken is still pretty good! Ring it up!
Ooh! I know this part! You just toss it straight into the fire, right? ”
⠀
⠀

[𝗕𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗟𝗘𝗚 𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗝𝗜 @C0NCASSE]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
“ I actually unfreezed these chicken breasts before you got here, Luffy. What do you think about grilled chicken ? ”

It's not red meat per se what he thought for a dish, but he figured his Captain wouldn't dislike the idea.
⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀

[𝗕𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗟𝗘𝗚 𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗝𝗜 @C0NCASSE]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
Blue eyes fall over the sink and all the soap and bubbles produced. Okay, it looks acceptable now.

After his nod, Sanji opened the fridge. He took out a package of several chicken breast. And put it on the counter.

⠀⠀⠀“ What? But they're not even dirty! Look! I didn't touch any mud today!

Fiiiiiine.. ”

He grabs the soap, vigorously scrubbing his hands with enough friction to make his rubber skin squeak.
The entire sink is swarmed by white soap suds.

wavered.

“ But we don't have that time and it'd be just one dish so ... I trust you my kitchen. ”

His softened gaze turned serious as he finished his last sentence. Pointing at the other.

“ What we do first is to wash our hands. ”
⠀

[𝗕𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗟𝗘𝗚 𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗝𝗜 @C0NCASSE]

⠀ ⠀
Those were all genuine concerns from the young Captain, he could tell. A faint smile tugged at the ends of the blonde's mouth.

“ Alright. I see you're serious about this. ”

He knows for a fact that some of the others can cook. But, Sanji won't oppose to the request.

⠀⠀⠀“ 𝘚𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘪.ᐟ Of course I want you to cook, Sanji! Your food is the best in the whole world, nobody else could do it like you!
But what if you get captured by a bunch of weirdos again? Or you get hurt and have to sleep while everyone's hungry? ”

[𝗕𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗟𝗘𝗚 𝗦𝗔𝗡𝗝𝗜 @C0NCASSE]

Slow strides across the kitchen before speaking. And stopping at the center of it.

“ Usually, you'll never be allowed be anywhere near the food after almost a year. That's how that damn old man taught me. ”

A brief moment to remind his father. Tch. Sanji's smile didn't &&.
