This is my first time writing a story, I am so sorry for any oc or grammar mistakes.
There is slight swearing involved. And it probably is pretty bad... YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Normal
It was quiet on the Thousand Sunny, an act that most people would probably think impossible, most people including most of the crew. The main reason for that was that all of the straw-hats were asleep, after staying up for a week without so much as a nap - they had been far too busy with other stuff, Pirate stuff. The following activities were what caused the crew to suffer from lack of sleep, escaping from the marines, fighting some foolish pirates that had tried to steel Nami's money (They are now shivering in a hospital murmuring how they were sorry and for the "Scary demon lady" to let them go) and dropping them off at the nearest island which had a hospital had tired them out. They were too tired to even tell someone to stay on night watch (A dangerous move that's true, but they were too tired to care at this point) so no one was awake, ~yawn*, well almost no one.
Zoro sat up, scratching his head in a sleepy manner. He got up and stretched a bit. Looking around and realizing that he was the first one up left a smirk on his face. 'Heh, well what do you know? For once I'm the first one up, take that shitty love-cook!', he laughed at his thoughts silently, careful to keep from waking them up, he knew how tired they still were. Zoro is a rather muscular man with short, mossy green hair. He always carries his three katanas around him, bundled up with a green haramaki over his right hip, allowing him to easily draw them with his left hand. He has three identical gold earrings on his left ear with the exception of one of them having a tear shaped extension. There is a black bandana that he ties to his left arm if he is not fighting and ties it on is head if he is. As he was already imagining how that "Shitty love-cook" would react to a boot in the face as a wake up call, he was startled (to say the least) when he heard someone murmuring something. Silently making his way towards the bow where the noise was coming from, Zoro was surprised to see Luffy awake and sitting on the head of the... lion flower thing they had as a head figure. He was about to call out to the captain but stopped cold in his tracks when he heard what the younger boy was muttering.
"Latitude, N 0° 21' 5.6171" Longitude,W 153° 37' 58.125" , traveling at 50 miles an hour, should land at next island in around 20 hours, plenty of time for the others to get their sleep...".
Suddenly, Luffy's head swung over and looked directly at Zoro, or rather where Zoro would have been if he had still bean standing in that spot and not ducked behind the large mast which had the Straw hat's flag waving proudly in the wind. 'SHIT! Why am I hiding! No, before that, what the hell did Luffy just say?' freaked out by his and Luffy's behavior, Zorro was struggling to remain quiet. After a few minuets that seemed to take forever, Zoro heard a sigh from Luffy.
"Must be hearing things... again", Suddenly Luffy became rigid with what looked like fear "Damn it! They might have already woken up!", Luffy quickly jumped down from the figure head and ran towards the sleeping quarters. Zoro saw only a glimpse of Luffy's face as he continued running till he was inside, not noticing Zoro hiding in the shadows. What Zoro saw worried him more, Luffy's face was serious, even though it showed a little bit of concern and worry, it was serious... which is the same thing as saying that Sanji was gay... or something like that. Or, in other words, using Zoro's exact wording... 'THIS MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE!'.

Zoro
I was shocked, if you have to know how weird it was for Luffy to make that face, then you probably have never even stood 10 feet of the guy. I mean sure, he gets a bit serious when his nakama gets hurt, but he is crazy mad at that point. This... he was serious and... calm... at the same time. Calm... that's another word that can never be used to describe Luffy, that it fit so perfectly now... Sure care free yes, but normally he is all hyper and shit like that.
"Baka!", I shouted, surprising even me, "Calm down!", I took a couple of deep breathes to soothe me, and calm my raging mind down, I succeeded in at least calming down the thoughts pounding around in my head, another couple of breathes had finally made my mind settle down. I was contemplating whether to go back to sleep and take what I just heard from Luffy as some sort of food plan or something (I mean, what do those numbers and wording even mean?) when Nami came out and screamed at me.
"Urusai!", Nami was standing a the door in her night gown, making a really angry face, "Some of us are trying to sleep here!", wow, for someone who was screaming at the top of her lungs, she sure thought it was bright to tell someone else to shut up. She was our navigator, with eyes that said defy me and die with bright orange-redish hair, she was really a one of a kind. If she had grown up in a harsher condition where she was forced to kill others with nothing that she needed to protect, then I bet she would have turned into one hell of a fighter. But, thankfully, she still had some friends and family left, even after her mom was killed. If they weren't there, I couldn't even predict what would have happened. I rubbed my head, it was pounding from the noise the women was making, and sighed, at that moment I realized that something was weird with what Luffy had said.
"Oi! Nami", I called to her, there was something I needed the navigator to confirm.
"What now?"
"... what does N 0° 21' 5.6171", W 153° 37' 58.125" mean?", at this, Nami's face paled considerably and looked like she head wrong.
"... Latitude, N 0° 21' 5.6171" Longitude,W 153° 37' 58.125" ... ?", Nami asked, she looked very, very confused (And a little bit shaken) at my question, as if I just asked her why she thinks that I carry three swords, trying to make sure what I asked was what she thought it mean without making me or her look stupid.
"...? Yeah, I think so...?", Nami swallowed her saliva.
"Just wait here a second", after saying that Nami started to run into the cabin, clearly going to her room, I was about to follow her, but thought better then to. She lets no one into her room, NO. ONE. One time the shitty love cook tried to follow her into her room, he got kicked in a place no man should ever be kicked in. And I wasn't willing to follow his fate. At least I didn't have to wait for too long. Nami soon came running back out, carrying a map in her hands. She power walked down the stairs and set the map down on the grassy floor.
"Look here,", Nami said, pointing at a part of the map, "This is where we were last time I checked our coordinates,", her fingers slide across the map until stopping at an intersection of two lines, "Taking in wind speed and the force of the current, we should be about here", she started tapping her finger in a spot on the map. "Can you guess what the coordinates are?", without giving Zoro a chance to answer, Nami continued, " Latitude, N 0° 21' 5.6171" Longitude,W 153° 37' 58.125". That is almost the exact location of the Thousand Sunny. Now why did you know this?", Nami was demanding answers, I couldn't blame her. I wanted answers too, from Luffy...
"... In the current direction and speed we are gong at, will we reach the next island in 20 hours?", now I was really considering the thought of me going just hallucinating everything, this conservation included.
"Zoro, don't be stupid. We're in the Grand Line, there is no way that we are moving in the correct direction, I even made sure to cast anchor so that we wouldn't get swept to god knows where-"
"Shut up and tell me will we, or will we not be at the next island in 20 hours?", I was irritated and I didn't even try to hide it. Will the bitch just goddamn tell me if it's true or not!?
"I'm telling you! There's no way-", her talking was caught short as she realized (Finally) that we were moving. Didn't she say something about wind speed and currents earlier? Last time I checked that meant that the ship was moving. I guess she was just tired. I wouldn't blame her. She looked down at the log pose on her wrist and nearly jumped. I looked over to see what she was so shocked over. Despite that fact there was no one at the helm, the needle steadily pointed forward, toward the next island. Right where the ship was headed. Nami realized this much faster then I did, and was already checking the route. After a few minuets she looked up, she was so clearly shocked that there was no need for me to ask. After a bit of silence Nami took a deep breath.
"Yes. Considering the speed of wind, we should get to the next island in around 20 hours." I was about ask about the wind when she continued, "I have never seen something like this before. Normally winds can only be stable to a point since they are just the force of air pushing each other forward, The Grand Line just makes the changes in which the air flows in from so much more random. But this is different. It will continue to blow this way, it will not change. It is pretty much a path of wind that will continue to blow this way regardless of what weather happens and any change in current won't even-", I had no clue what she was muttering about now, but I understood what I needed to know.
"So that is a yes right?".

Nami
This was insane. I woke up to Zoro shouting at someone, but when I went out to tell him and the other person to shut up, I was slightly surprised (I still yelled at him though). What happened next though, was just plain insanity. He had correctly guessed the coordinates of the Thousand Sunny's location, the fact that the Sunny was moving in the direction of the next island (Which should have been impossible without the log pose, which she was wearing), and the time it would have took. I was still in my mess of thoughts as to why the wind current wasn't ever going to change. When I heard Zoro talking again. I had almost forgotten he was there,
"So that's a yes right?", I looked up, a little startled, but I answered quickly enough.
"That's right. In short even if there is no one steering the ship, we will still reach the next island in 20 hours", I stared at him. It was kinda hard not to (And for once it wasn't because of his short mossy green hair) he was being too inconsistent, he was saying all of the correct things, yet he kept on asking if what he said was correct, or if anything he said meant anything. My face became slightly warmer at my choice of words, but it passed quite quickly, and I focused on the puzzling puzzle before me.
I looked at the swordsman expectantly, hoping that he was going to explain how he got this information, he didn't seem to be someone who knew about oceans and stuff. That could only mean that he got this info from someone else. But the question was, who? I was the one who knew about the seas and currents, the navigator. Wasn't that why Luffy asked her to join his crew? If not that, what was the reason?
I waited a couple more minuets before deciding that he wasn't going to answer me if I didn't ask him first.
"... How do you know this?", Zoro suddenly looked up as if he forgot I was there. I was kinda irratated but then I remembered that I had also forgotten he was there when I was contemplating what was happening.
"Hu? Wha- oh, It's... nothing", Zoro looked away. A minuet barely passed and he had walked off, into the cabins. Now I was really irritated 'Not going to tell me? Fine then. I'll just have to ask Robin to lend me a hand' I could feel a smile creeping up onto my face, and I doubt that it was a smile of good will. I turned around and made my way to the women's side. With her Hana-Hana fruit, I doubt that there is going to be any way for Zoro to actually keep what it was he heard or saw to himself for too long.

~Okay, I know that there are a lot of Sanji x Zoro pairings and others where Sanji's gay, but the point is that Sanji is usually falling in love with every girl he meets. He wouldn't really be considered gay unless you read the fan fics and doujinshis
As stated earlier I am new at this and I would love it if you could review it for me!
