Title: Lessons Taught
Pairing: SanUsoKaya (at least that’s where the kids came from. ^_^)
Topic: Parental Figures
Word Count: 300
Notes: Follow up to babysitting and babysitter’s revenge
To say he was flustered would have been an understatement.
“No- no, honey, put that down- you too, oh, don’t start…”
He knew who to blame; even in his old age, that damn swordsman still made life hell. He should have never listened to Usopp and let him watch their children; even Kaya had helped, though he excused her due to her good nature…
But now, because of that horrible decision, he had to keep an eagle’s watch on his kitchen. The first time he’d been distracted- a sauce had bubbled just a little too high- and they had no less than two deadly blades, each.
A knife was still a cook’s pride; each in his kitchen held the sharpest edge- and these were his children…
“Girls!”, the sharp bark instantly stopped all movement in the kitchen; the girls, heeding the command that spoke directly to instinct, and the cook, unsteadied by the sudden retreat of 30 years.
The swordsman’s eyes raked them all, before he continued. “You never touch another man’s sword without his permission.” There was no cajoling, no threats- just a simple, firm statement of fact- of how the world worked.
Sanji was just about to comment; the marimo had no idea how children worked, you couldn’t just talk to them like adults and expect to be obeyed- one needed to work with a lighter hand, to-- but his thoughts trailed off, as each of his children looked to the floor, obviously abashed; murmered, ‘Yes, Unkie Zoro…’, and replaced his cutlery.
His look of shock must have shone glaringly, because after the girls filed out under his watchful gaze, Zoro commented, “they’re just little people”, and retreated the way he came. It didn’t take long for the soft sound of snoring to accompany the chopping of vegetables.
