Sanji couldn't speak. It was rather ridicilous actually. He had been shouting his mouth dry and throat sore and now he couldn't speak. If he tried to say something, only some weird voices escaped his mouth so he rather kept quiet. His body had worn out and he felt pretty tired all the time expect the times when Nami or Robin visited him. He noticed how everyone tried to make him feel at ease but it disturbed him somehow. He was feeling useless, laying on the bed and doing basically nothing. But he couldn't help it, he just had to wait for getting his energy back and return back to his post as a chef of Strawhat pirates.
He was surprised to notice how Zoro seemed to treat him almost like a normal person. They weren't fighting, not even verbally, just chatting calmly. Zoro often explained to Sanji if something had went wrong in the kitchen because nobody else dared to do so. Well, Sanji didn't really care if they fooled around in the kitchen as long as they didn't make their big oven to explode or treat his kitchen knives poorly. But as soon as he would be back to his work, there would be no chance of fooling around: idiots would be kicked out of the kitchen.
Ivan prepared to leave when he saw that Sanji had survived the treatment. He waited for a chance to talk to the chef before he would leave.
"Well then, Sanji-kun, it's good to see vyou are getting better already", Ivan said when he saw Sanji sitting on the deck,"But it's really a shame..."
"What's a shame?" Sanji asked perfectly calmly.
"Well...vyou would have been such a lovely okama!"
"As if I would return being a shitty okama!" Sanji stated and realised his mistake when he saw the look on everyone's faces. Okamas were chuckling and blushing, strawhats were either laughing or trying to hold their laughter.
"You were an okama, Ero-cook?" Zoro asked with a creepy smile on his face.
"I can't believe it!" Nami managed to say between her laughs,"Sanji-kun of all people?!"
"Don't be so shy, Sanji-kun!" One of the okamas, the one called Elisabeth, blushed,"We were such a good friends!"
"As if I could be friends with you!" Sanji cursed and tried to hide his embarrasment. He was somehow surprised that the crew didn't react in some other way.
There was a moment when everyone just tried to stop laughing at the idea and catch their breaths. Even Usopp laughed but he suspected that Sanji would get his revenge when he got fully healed.
"Well then, Sanji-kun, Strawhat-boy, everyone", Ivankov said,"It was nice meeting vyou all. And by the way, Sanji-kun..." Ivankov started but said nothing more because he didn't need to: he had pulled out the pink sweet dress and threw it at Sanji.
"You...!" Sanji almost cursed and stood up to kick Ivankov but Ivankov had his ways to protect himself against the ladies-man: he used female hormon, emporio onna hormone, to change himself into a woman,"That's cheating!"
"Good bye then!" Ivankov waved happily and saw how Sanji ripped the sweet-dress into pieces.
There was a moment of silence when everyone just stared at their chef and the parts of that pink dress. Then Chopper broke the silence when he realised Sanji was standing.
"Sanji!" Chopper shouted happily,"You are standing!"
"Ah?" Sanji voiced out and realised that he was standing indeed so he sat down quickly,"It's no good to stress my legs at this point, doctor?"
"Well, you should start to move around a little bit so that your muscles won't shrink but you have to start slowly!" Chopper adviced and Sanji just nodded happily.
The curse of the sweet-dress is gone...He thought when he looked at the pink pieces of fabric.
"Sanji-kun, you shouldn't have ripped that dress!" Nami complained,"We could have sold it at the next island!"
"I am sorry, Nami-san, but there is simply no way for me not to destroy all the things which reminds me of my years in hell!" Sanji noted and didn't feel sorry for what he had done, not even one bit.
"So that's why you were so weak against women..."Brook stated and everyone realised what a hell it must have been: all ladies-man stuck with okamas for a long two years.
...
Sanji rested almost the rest of the day expect the times when he got out of the infirmary for a smoke. He knew Chopper didn't allow him to smoke in his infirmary and he didn't feel like opposing his orders. His muscles felt somehow weak but he knew he only needed to train them a little to get them back to how they used to be.
"Are you okay to be up already?" Usopp wondered and Sanji blowed his smoke.
"It's okay if it's just for a while. I needed some fresh air..." Sanji admitted.
"You call it fresh air if you come out of the infirmary for a smoke?" Usopp noted and felt Sanji staring at him angrily.
"You got something to say, long-nose?!" Sanji said in a threatening tone.
"Nothing!" Usopp stated in panic and shut his mouth.
...
The next day Sanji started to move around more. He went to check the kitchen and he was surprised to see it clean and everyone eating calmly without Luffy trying to steal food.
"Oh, Sanji!" Luffy shouted when he noticed their chef,"Come and eat!"
"You are telling me that?" Sanji sighed,"Who was in charge of the kitchen?"
"Brook and Robin took care of it!" Luffy informed,"But come and eat!"
Sanji had no choice but to sit down and take few bites of the food. He was surprised it wasn't half bad but it was still nowhere near as good as his. Of course he woulnd't tell this to Robin because he didn't want to hurt her feelings,"Thank you for taking care of my kitchen, Brook and Robin-swan!"
"No problem, Cook-san!" Robin smiled at him.
"Yohohoho! It was rather interesting to cook for a long time!" Brook seemed to really enjoy himself,"My bones danced with joy!"
Sanji looked around of him and found himself being utterly happy for being alive. If he had died, he wouldn't have had the chance to see his lovely ladies smiling and the other crew members fooling around. He even looked forward to fighting with Zoro again: it would probably be a good practise.
...
Four days after the treatment Sanji felt almost normal again. He felt his energy returning to him and he asked for doctor's approval if he could return to his post.
"I can't see any reason why you couldn't return to your work but please inform me if you start to feel weird, okay?" Chopper said, giving his approval.
"Roger that!" Sanji said, excusing himself from the infirmary,"Hey you idiots and my lovely ladies! I will start to prepare a big feast for everyone! Do you have any preferences?"
"MEAT!" Luffy shouted,"AND LOTS OF IT!"
"I could have expected that much..." Sanji sighed and turned to face their ladies,"Robin-swan, Nami-san, would you like to have something?"
"Some dessert for me, thank you!" Nami made her order.
"Some coffee for now, I think?" Robin suggested.
"With pleasure!" Sanji yelled and rushed towards the kitchen when he heard the really familiar, annoying voice calling him idiot,"What was that, you Marimo?! I can pretend that I heard nothing!"
"You don't have to, Curly-brows!" Zoro said,"I just told you what you are, that's all!"
"Oh really? Then you must be the idiot among idiots!" Sanji returned the favour.
"You looking for a fight?!" Zoro hissed.
"That's fine by me!" Sanji stated and attacked Zoro with multiple kicks.
"Sanji-kun, don't forget my desert!" Nami shouted, trying to make herself heard over the sounds of a fight.
"I think I have to wait for a while to get my coffee too..." Robin said calmly.
"Hey captain, do something! They will destroy our ship!" Franky worried over their Sunny-Go.
"But isn't this interesting?" Luffy laughed.
"How about your meat?" Usopp reminded him.
"Ah! That's right! Hey Zoro and Sanji, stop fighting! I need meat!" Luffy tried to order but the fighting-duo couldn't hear him.
"Sanji! You shouldn't be fighting yet! I gave you an approval to return to your post, not fight with Zoro!" Chopper yelled but realised his words had no effect at all and he didn't dare to step into the furious fight.
"Really, those two..." Brook sighed deeply and looked at the fight,"When will they learn to get along?"
Soon Luffy joined the fight and hit both of them to the ground,"I TOLD YOU TO STOP FIGHTING! YOUR CAPTAIN IS HUNGRY!"
"Well, he is not going to make food for a while now..." Robin noted when he realised their chef had been knocked out.
"Luffy you idiot!" Chopper preached,"Look what you did!"
Everyone realised the rather ridicilous situation and everyone else expect Luffy started to laugh,"SANJI, WAKE UP! I NEED MEAT!"
But Sanji didn't wake up that easily so Chopper had to carry him back to the infirmary. And even though he was unconcious, there was a small smile on their cook's face.
