"Ugh!" Zoro's tongue curled as the foul and bitter taste manifested in his mouth. Despite the attack against his taste buds, he managed to swallow the way to heavy chocolate-y cake clump. He coughed a bit, trying to get the after taste out.
"That bad, huh", Sanji asked. Zoro nodded. "How can a cook serve his crew something like that?!" he shouted. Sanji stayed calm even though he was getting a bit annoyed.
"This is new to me too", Sanji explained. "I am still getting used to it. The taste is hard to get right." He opened and closed his hand in front of his face a few times, then grabbed a small piece of cake himself - and tasted nothing. "Huh", he wondered, "really not good. I have to try more, I need to get this right!" He exclaimed with conviction, turning towards Zoro. "What kind of cook can't make tasty food?" He stepped closer and put his hands on Zoro´s shoulders looking him directly in the eyes. "You are gonna help me getting better."
First Zoro wanted to refuse, but his stomach growled once more. Why not?, he thought.
The next hour or so consisted of a repeating cycle of Sanji materializing food (this time in smaller portions), then giving some to Zoro and then taking a bite himself. The first few tries were abysmal, tasting somewhat like sand mixed with rotting fruit. The pudding was the worst, that just tasted like mud.
This went on and on. Slowly, the food started to become less and less horrible, the last few tries even tasting somewhat decent!
"I'm getting full." Zoro felt a bit bloated and was starting to get tired. He wanted to sleep it off. He actually good food lay heavy in his toned belly.
"Just one more", Sanji said, a bit slower than he usually talked. Zoro could tell that, despite having eaten way less than himself, Sanji was getting quite full as well. Sanji focused and as a finale to top off their practice round, he tried the fist cake once more - it appeared between him and Zoro on the small table in the kitchen. It was smaller than the first cake, but managed to look even more sugary.
"Well -", they both said in unison right before each taking a half of the cake and popped them in their mouths in one piece..
