The navy was after them again and this time with bigger and more deadly ships and men then before. Ever since their bounties went up they have been facing navy captains almost every day. This particular captain was no exception he was one of the top 10 navy captains.
"Capturing these pirates is the navy's top priority" shouted the captain.
"But sir they're heading strait into the fog we'll lose them for sure"
"I don't care, that ship has two of the worlds most wanted men on it"
"Sir who could be worth that much?"
"Sanji I'm hungry" whined Monkey D. Luffy captain of the Straw Hat Pirates.
"How the hell can you think about food at a time like this? We're being chased by the fucking navy" shouted Nami the ships navigator. "And Zoro wake the fuck up you lazy bastard"
'Why does she always have to yell' thought Zoro. Just then he felt a sharp pain in his ribs which woke him up. "Ok, damn women why are you kicking me?"
"So you'll get off your lazy ass and do something"
As Mai continued to yell at him Zoro saw something gleam in the distance and as it got closer Zoro realized it was heading strait for Nami. Without hesitating he jumped up and pushed Nami out of the way taking 3 throwing stars in the gut and having the others cut his arms and legs up.
"ZORO!" shouted Nami who was wide eyed and terrified.
"I'm fine" he said getting to his feet and drawing his swords.
"No your not your bleeding" she started then realized he was getting up "and what do you think your doing?" she finished.
"I have to do something to get those navy bastards off our tail"
"No you need to lie still and have Chopper take a look at you. Let Robin, Luffy and Sanji handle those guys when they get here"
"That's not going to happen because I'm going to take care of them right now"
"But why, you know those guys could easily…"
"Because if they get here and they can't handle it we're all screwed"
"But…"
"Look Luffy isn't giving a dame right now, I won't let Robin fight alone, and the love-cook well I wouldn't let him fight alone because if he fails to protect us then people would get hurt"
Nami stiffened 'Why would he say such a thing he knows that Sanji is more then capable of protecting the ship'
"I know Sanji is one of the better fighters on this ship but if he fails then the crew would be in danger and I won't stand by and se anybody get hurt, especially you"
'what did he mean by that' Nami thought. "Look Zoro I can take care of myself now it's not like you have to protect me all the time. The only people that protect each other are those who…" Nami froze as the realization hit her like a ton of bricks.
Zoro took advantage of this opportunity to go to the rail of the ship. He rose his swords and shouted "106 POUND CANNON" as he swung his swords down as a massive blue beam of energy in the shape of a dragon flew at one of the ships causing it to explode.
"That takes care of at least one of them" he said to himself "now maybe that stupid love-cook might stand a change" he said collapsing on the deck.
"ZORO, Chopper get out her Zoro's been hurt really badly" Nami screamed
The short little reindeer came running to the scene with his medical bag. He was able to pull out the stars and stop the bleeding that was life threatening.
"That should do but I need to get him to sick bay to fully patch him up" said the little reindeer.
Chopper morphed into his "human" form and picked up Zoro then stated to head for sick bay. Nami followed them and as she did she noticed the blood all over the deck and wall. She shivered as she looked at it, she had seen blood before but never this much at once.
"Sanji" she called to the cook.
He appeared with harts in his eyes "Yes Nami-swan" he cooed " do you need a drink, some food, or maybe you just want my company"
"No non of that" she said "could you clean up this blood it's making me uncomfortable?"
