Ah, how songs inspire and sand captivates. Enjoy my story and yes, I hope you understand my gibberish well.
Zoro looked around the empty ship where he confirmed no one was going to pop in to see his 'dirty' secret. A firm grin etched to his face as he walked down to the men's room and walked to his own area pulling out a CD case that only had one song inside it.
"It's about time." He walked over to the CD player that the men had, not as fancy as the girls, and placed the CD in one of the four slots before pushing it back inside before pressing play until a voice came on to greet him.
"Hey, Zoro, you know who this is." Shaking his head he began clearing out a small, but large enough, area before listening more after the gap of time was enough. "I found this song, hope you agree with me, and I thought you might like to give it a try… the finals are in one month." The voice clicked off with the person laughing at something he knew would be a few hours of interesting... depends on if he found the perfect rhythm the first time..., if his crew didn't come back, alone time.
The music, when it came on, had a beat that instantly grabbed him making his grin grow allowing his teeth to show. His head swayed in a bobbing motion before he pulled Wado out of his Haramaki, keeping it in its sheath, and he twirled it around his hand twice before slamming it onto the ground his head dropping at the exact time before his shoulders raised, right arm pointing to the ceiling, before he swung it around, nipping his ear slightly, and he used the momentum to twist his body around swinging wado in a arc around his form before twirling the white sword around his waist until tossing it slightly out in front of him while his left hand pulled out Shusui holding it out in front of him with Wado to his side.
The grin only grew murderous with his eyes still closed. His left foot tapped to the beat and he breathed deeply before twisting his waist, dropping slightly into a crouch, and he bent his back forward before he let the air out.
Snapping his eyes opened his vaulted sideways into the air spinning before landing with his left leg far into a split like position while his right left was almost making it look as if he was kneeling, awkwardly, while wado and his fist was on the ground while Shuusui was in the air. His head bobbed as he slowly pushed himself up his arms slowly becoming parallel before wado was tossed to the side, before he flipped his body at it gripping it in his hand.
The music grew to the climax, Zoro believed, before his free hand dropped to his last sword his feet tapping, shoulders moving, and hips swaying to any who saw it they would assume it was beautifully fight with spectacular detail to dancing.
The swords clinked as they were brought out of their sheaths before he danced to a deadlier beat with his limbs purposefully touching the sharp edge almost lovingly with not even a cut to the material his pants were made of.
He did a full frontal flip before falling onto his back into a near arc, his arms and swords decreasing the impact, before he jumped up spinning in the air and he felt his legs make contact with the ground, all three swords in the final position of his onigiri before he exhaled a breath.
The music began to end as he spun on his heel and sheathed all three swords before ending in the same position he started at only difference was the sweat that dripped off his chin and covered his shirt.
"Forgot I even had it on." He stood before quickly extracting the music CD and placing it back into its case and away from any peeping eyes, especially the cook's, before snagging fresh clothing and he was off to the showers. Who knew when his crew would come back and if Luffy had been able to 'force' the cook into some type of beach party.
-It's almost over now-
Sanji was the first to notice that Zoro didn't greet them or wasn't taking a nap. He glanced around the deck of the thousand sunny while the others beamed with the great, and forced upon, celebration of earning some money for a month long competition.
The island, a happy village of a summer island, called Sukioka Island was doing their annual sand castle contest. So the crew decided to join, even more when they learned the money prize and other 'assorted' goods they would get, when they joined, on Luffy's demand, and now they came home with a small, by Luffy's standards, amount of food for the party on the beach where Nami would give out orders on who was going to do what.
The farther he explored the ship for Zoro the more he noticed a different vibe from the ship then the usual tense from Zoro's training. He turned down the area where the bathroom was running before hearing the water running for the shower. He laughed realizing that the swordsman must have had some fun working out.
He chuckled before going back to where the crew was to inform them that it would be a while before the stupid muscle bound idiot came up to find the crew back on board.
-It's almost over now-
Zoro walked out to meet everybody while continuing to dry his hair off, even though it was short, before placing the towel on his shoulders a scowl on his face when he spotted all the happy grins and the witch's beli eyes.
"What happened?" he really didn't want to know at that moment so his mind began to wonder when Usopp began to speak and spout his normal hilarious stories to what he would be doing tomorrow. He'd get up early to leave the ship and get to 'that' place around noon; he'd easily be able to get there without getting lost due to the arrows he spotted from some stupid and silly contest.
"We signed up for the sand castle contest!" Luffy screamed slamming into Zoro's chest nuzzling his cheek into Zoro's bare chest. "We all want the prizes." Zoro's eyes bugged out of his head as he spotted the crinkled paper in Luffy's hand and he pulled it free, not as much fuzz due to Luffy sniffing his chest as if he were dog, not common but in this situation Zoro would pass this freaky moment as a good case of luck… maybe…
"Shit!" the contest was the same time 'it' was supposed to happen. "I won't be able to participate." Zoro felt the tension and curiosity rise instantly from his words. "I'm planning on an all day training season ." he stated, it wasn't and exact lie, and he looked down to see the disappointed look on his captain's face. "WHAT! I'm not missing any training because of playing in sand!"
"ZORO!" Nami called out in a sickly sweet voice while the air was full of the sound of buzzing. "I might lower your debt if we win." Zoro stepped back by the demonic feeling emitting off of her.
He had no choice, one glance at all the members told him, when the members of the strawhat crew wanted to do something.
"Fine." He surrendered before Luffy assaulted his stomach again. "STOP THAT!" he hissed.
"Zoro smells funny though." Zoro blinked raising his arm to his nose and sniffing… he cursed, he did smell funny and it was 'that persons' fault.
Please forgive spelling and Grammar.
