How many times had he tried to win Nico Robin's heart?
Probably over a hundred times.
He gave her presents, showered her with compliments. But she only smiled briefly and then left.
Again and again, she just smiled. Not that he didn't like her smile, but at least she could have given him a little kiss.
Was she so averse to him?
Sanji didn't want to give up and thought of a very special surprise for her, it was also her 29th birthday.
He had to do something very special for her.
He grinned furtively, she would certainly fall out of the mountain when she saw what he has thought up for her.
She would definitely fall into his arms and swear eternal love to him, definitely.
Just stupid that she really wanted to take the Marimo with her, even with his girlfriend who was already panicking.
She wanted to stay upstairs anyway, but Zorro persuaded her.
Tashigi really didn't have an easy time with her boyfriend.
It was even tighter in here now. And should there be space for six people here? With the best will in the world, he couldn't introduce himself, the four of us were already unbearable here.
The digital depth display indicated that at that moment they sank to 3000 m below sea level.
It wouldn't be too long then they had arrived.
Too bad that he wasn't allowed to smoke here, because he was really bored. Zorro calmed Tashigi, who got more and more claustrophobic.
And Robin? Well, she looked out the window as if there was nothing more interesting than the Black Sea.
There wasn't much to see yet, but soon it was. Yes, then his Robin would catch his breath.
Sanji was looking forward to it, he was the only one who knew where their mini submarine trip was going.
Zorro and Tashigi had no idea either.
Why couldn't they just stay up there?
He sighed, he could have talked so well with Robin, the dive took only two hours.
The display kept falling on and on, he was slowly getting impatient, couldn't the guy behind the wheel be a little faster?
Probably not, he hummed softly to himself and threatened Tashigi to reappear if she didn't shut up.
Why couldn't Robin have a little chat with him, there weren't any fish to be seen anyway. In the beginning, yes, but from 500 m it was already dark zapping.
It got colder and colder in here, the heating was running at full speed but it got cold. No wonder if the sea had a temperature of just 3 degrees Celsius.
At that moment he was really jealous of Zorro, his girlfriend cuddled up to him.
But Robin, who, as always, was sitting around in a really tight outfit, didn't even shiver a little.
Was it because of the leather jacket he'd given her?
Already possible, because it was real. It was already clear to him that an animal would have to die for it, but if it kept his Robin warm he gladly accepted it.Though he'd rather cuddle with her.
The ad sank painfully slowly, when would this part finally appear?
Hopefully Robin would be happy, he would die if she said, "hmm, that's nice. But I've seen better."
He would even believe her, this woman had been around everywhere. She deciphered hieroglyphs in Egypt, looked for ancient scripts in the jungle, and even rode in a Ferrari once.
Oh, he'd like a Ferrari too.
Preferably in blue, that was his favorite color.
Now he's already thinking about painting a car that he'll never get anyway.
Well, he could have afforded it, but then he would not have been able to rent the mini submarine in which they were now sitting.
3700 m.
Finally, only a few more meters, then she would be with this part that should win Robin's heart.
It is far fetched that something like that should give him true love, but if it works. What would speak against it?
The submarine stopped very slowly and drove forward.
Sanji had to grin and tapped Robin, who was still looking out the window, on the shoulder.
"Robin, would you please direct your pretty eyes forward?"
The black-haired woman smiled at him again and looked ahead to the huge panorama window that was in front.
"Hold on tight," shouted the helmsman and pressed a button which turned on the powerful headlights at the front of the submarine.
A true giant made of steel appeared before them.
The corals that slowly decompose the steel had attached themselves to it in such a way that it looked as if the steel was melting. Like butter that was slapped on a window pane and slowly melted in the sun.
Zorro and Tashigi couldn't get a sound out, only Robin asked, "Um Sanji, what's that?"
The boy grinned and said to the helmsman, "Show the lady what's in front of her."
The man nodded and drove a bit higher to a lettering that was also quite overgrown, but you could see it clearly.
Robin's eyes widened and she stared with open mouth at what lay in front of her.
Sanji looked at Zorro and Tashigi, the two of them couldn't take their eyes off what was there in front of them.
Apparently he had succeeded in the surprise.
It was worth it to make a lot of money.
He heard soft sobs next to him, worried he looked at the black-haired one, with tears in her eyes she looked at him.
"Sanji, do you want to tell me that this is the ship that rammed an iceberg on Sunday April 14, 1912, killed 1509 people and is 3821 meters below sea level?"
The blonde nodded, "exactly Robin, this is the 'Titanic', happy birthday."
Robin couldn't help but take his shirt in both hands and pull him towards him.
They kissed for a long time, but then Robin broke the kiss to marvel at the rest of the 'Titanic'.Sanji grinned, he had known that she would like it, this birthday certainly couldn't get out of her head that quickly.
