Observing Man -Nakama Side-

Robin's many arms were washing away at the crews' dirty clothes. It was the least she could do, she said with her mysterious smile. Little did most of the crew know of her ultierior motives for it. It was quite amusing for her to see the male crew members moving around deck wrapped in blankets or towels. They reminded her of primative creatures in loincloths as they ambled around aimlessly while waiting for their freshly-cleaned clothes.

Luffy had the tendency to rocket himself up to the crowsnest holding his hat, so he never paid attention to the fact that his blanket would fall away from his slim hips midflight and leave him stark naked. What was even better was watching Zoro, blushing crimson, climb up to the crowsnest as well, with Luffy's blanket over his shoulder while his own towel was wrapped around his waist and held in place by his haramaki. Certainly, the swordsman growled and cursed his captain the whole way up, but once at the top, there would only be happy noises, from what Robin could hear. She knew there was more to the two of them than Zoro would ever admit. She guessed it was just one of those man-things.

Observing Man-ZoLu Side-

Luffy felt the fabric slip from his waist mid-flight. He looked down, still holding tight onto his straw hat with his free hand. Yep, the blanket was definitely fluttering to deck below. Crowing with laughter, Luffy tumbled into the crows nest.

Usopp's grumble of seeing a side of Luffy he preferred he'd never see again distracted Zoro from settling down for his midmorning nap. Luffy's laughter directed his gaze up to the crows nest... before a blanket landed on his head, blocking all sight.

"ZORO!" Luffy called from his perch. "Hold on to that! I'm coming to get it!"

Whipping the blanket off his face, Zoro again looked up, and was greeted by the sight of a pale naked leg, as well as a pale naked bottom, as Luffy proceeded to climb out of the crows nest.

Something just short of a curse strangled Zoro of his voice for just a moment, but Sanji spoke before he could make a sound.

"LUFFY! There are women down here! Don't you dare come down here like that, asshole!"

Breathing a sigh of relief as the captain's leg swung back over into the crows nest, Zoro felt he owed the cook some sort of thanks. So he settled for not making a comment on Sanji's decision to wear his pink apron over nothing but a very feminine patchwork quilt.

"Sanji-!" Luffy whined petulantly from above. "It's drafty up here!"

"Like that's ever stopped you before," muttered the swordsman before he called up to his captain. "I'll bring it to you!"

With his haramaki holding his towel in place, Zoro scaled the mast with Luffy's blanket over his shoulder. Hoping very much that no one was in range to see up his towel as he reached the top, he climbed into the crows nest to scowl at his captain.

"You know, now that I'm up here, I realized that you could have just stretched your arm down for it," Zoro glared as he presented the blanket.

Luffy just smiled and pulled Zoro down to sit with him, tugging at the swordsman's towel. "But where would be the fun in that?" he asked with a laugh.
