• Chapter 6: Japanese lesson

    "Kira, teach me Japanese!" Luffy shouted eagerly after we had all got done laughing over Zolo's Chicken Dance.

    I smiled at Sanji. "Sanji-kun, can you help me?"

    "Yodokumay, Kira-chan (With pleasure, Kira)!" Sanji went heart eyes. I laughed.

    "Arigoto!" I hugged him. "Ok, Luffy, ready?"

    "Hai!" He nodded.

    "Very good," I laughed. "Let's start with something easy. Dozo yoroshiku."

    "Dozo yoroku!" Luffy said.

    "Yo-rosh-she-ku," I replied slowly.

    "Dozo yoroshiku!" Luffy grinned. "What'd I say?"

    I answered, "Pleased to meet you."

    "Cool!" Luffy grinned wider. "Teach me more!"

    "Ok, Sanji, I need help. I wanna teach Luffy some conversation. Luffy, pay attention." Sanji and I stood in front of each other.

    "Koneechiwa!" Sanji said. "Koneechiwa means hello or good day."

    "Koneechiwa, Sanji-kun!" I replied. I looked at Luffy. He was picking his nose. "Luffy, do you wanna learn or not?"

    Luffy clapped his sandels together. "Sanji, I'm hungry! I want meat!" I was a bit disappointed that Luffy didn't want to learn more. I was having fun teaching him.

    Sanji smiled cleverly. "I'll only give you some if you learn to ask in Japanese."

    "Kira, TELL ME NOW!" Luffy was shaking me.

    I laughed, "Niku kudasai, dozo?"

    "Nifu kaduhi!" Luffy said. I laughed.

    Sanji groaned, "Close enough!"

    "Sanji-kun, may I help with lunch?" I asked. "Dozo (please)?"

    "Sure, Kira-chan!" Sanji and I walked to the kitchen.
