"Hey, Zoro, did you know that Brook is the nakama Laboon has been waiting for?!" Luffy.
"Ah?"
"Yeah! You know, the giant whale that broke my favorite seat when we came down Reverse Mountain!"
"Oh yeah. I remember him."
"I hope he does not mind waiting a few more years for me." Brook's voice joined in. "From what Luffy-san tells me, he is the size of a mountain now!"
Zoro snorted. "Yeah, but that didn't stop Luffy from beating him up and drawing on him."
If a skull could twitch in anger, Brook would have done it right then. "WHAT."
"Zoro, you liar! You make it sound like I hurt him!"
"Ripping Merry's mast clear off and stabbing him with it doesn't count as 'hurting him'?! Oh, and let's not forget how you PUNCHED HIS EYE three minutes before that!"
"I didn't- well- that was-" He scrambled, trying to come up with a valid excuse.
Luffy trailed off into silence with a whimper when a tall, bony figure stood, with a black aura around it, holding a cane in it's phalanges. It's afro twitched in anger as it unsheathed a blade from the inside of the cane.
"Brook, come on! I-I was trying to make a point, and we're friends now, really! I swear!...Brook?"
"YOU HAVE TEN SECONDS TO RUN."

Robin was having a nice day.
She was lying in her lawn chair on the grassy deck, under one of the trees, which cast a sunlit pattern on a history book she'd found on Thriller Bark. Sanji had swooped in recently and delivered a fruity, iced drink with a quite delicious-looking slice of meringue to go with it. All in all, a nice arrangement. She hadn't a day this peaceful since the week they had spent relaxing in Water 7.
Of course, as soon as she acknowledged the peace, a screaming red and blue blur tore past her, with another black one hot on his heels, brandishing what looked like a sword and a... violin bow?
"AAAAH! BROOK, STOP! ZORO! I'M GONNA KILL YOUUUUU!!"
There was a devious, satisfied chuckle from the across the deck. Having gleaned fragments of their conversation, Robin knew just what had their newest nakama so bloodthirsty.
"...That was mean, Kenshi-san."
Zoro simply smiled a self-satisfied grin, and leaned back against the tree he was laying under. "I've been trying to get him out of my hair all day. And this keeps Brook entertained, too, so that gives the rest of us some peace." He shrugged.
Raising an eyebrow, Robin watched as Luffy stretched his arm to grab the shrouds and swing to the other end of the ship, monkey-style. This was a useless effort against a skeleton who weighed no more than six pounds, however, as he merely jumped after his prey. She watched as they disappeared behind the galley, and reappeared almost immediately with a raging, screeching Nami on their tails, ink splattered on her shirt.
Immediately after this, the galley door burst open and Sanji joined in the yelling, complaining of the noise that had made his souffle fall, and for bothering his lovely Nami-san.
The two troublemakers, apparently having forgotten what they were fighting for in the first place, ran back to the fore of the ship, the noise spooking Usopp who was tinkering with Franky's newest creation, who then yelped, jumped, and did something that made the contraption spew cola all over some medicinal herbs Chopper was drying.
Robin then looked back to the instigator of this madness... who was completely oblivious to it all, snoring away under the tree like he hadn't a care in the world.
"...I wouldn't quite say that."

This... is pure crack. Plain and simple. Uhh...yeah.
Oneshots are fun. CB
