These are short little stories of some funny things that have happened to Zoro after Fishmen's Island and while the Straw Hat crew are simply bobbing along the current in the New World. Just to be sure no one misunderstands, none of this actually has happened, but maybe what I would love to see. xD Anyways, enjoy and R&R!


Chores

Some say that cleaning the dishes really isn't that big of a chore. However, Zoro thought otherwise. Hell, he had to clean for the most glutton-ness captain in the Grand Line, so there were tons of dishes to wipe clean. The swordsman stole an angry glance at the cook, who was silently cleaning next to him. Hating to admit it, but Zoro felt like the idiot had earned some of his respect for cleaning this many dishes three times a day.

"Focus! Or you'll drop them!" the cook paused his chore and turned his head to yell at Zoro. Unfortunately, Zoro didn't have such a good grip on the glass he was cleaning. It slipped right out of his hands when the cook caused him to flinch and it shattered on impact. Zoro and the cook stared at the mess between them in silence.

"Idiot!" Sanji insulted, his teeth growing razor sharp and his revealed eye turning into flames of annoyance.

"You're the idiot!" Zoro defended himself, pointing at the cook's hands. "Look at those ridiculous gloves!" In all honesty, the gloves really did look stupid. They were a bright yellow and looked to be owned by a woman.

"My gloves have nothing to do with this! The water's too damn hot to just stick my bare hand in, stupid marimo!" The cook stabbed back, taking a step forward towards Zoro, but froze when some glass entered his foot. The two men were silence once again. The cook broke that silence when he started yelling in agony, lifting his foot off the ground and cradling it, hopping back and forth to keep balance.

Despite the sudden injury of his fellow crewmate, Zoro crossed his arms and muttered, "Serves you right."

"WHAT?" the cook managed to reach over and grab Zoro by his collar, pulling him closer to be more intimidating. Sadly for Zoro, he stumbled forward and his own foot stepped on a piece of glass. He hollered in pain and in a blind rage, he attempted to slam his fist onto Sanji's cheek, who dodged it easily and attempted to kick Zoro in the knees. Zoro quickly jumped upwards and tucked in his knees to just barely miss the blow, but before he decided to land he remembered the pieces of glass lying around.

Zoro's quick-minded thinking immediately went to the cook. He reached out, trying to get the cook to pull him away, but the idiot had backed away out of arms reach with a sadistic grin on his face, waving his hand in order to gesture a happy 'good-bye'. Zoro's face darkened in despair and before he hit the glass-covered ground, he drew in a quick breath.

"YOU BASTARD!"
