Chapter 1: The others notice the silence...

It was a quiet day on the boat "Thousand Sunny" which glided on the tranquil blue waters.

Aboard the captain Luffy ran around with Usopp close-in-heel, Chopper was making medicine, Robin read a book. Nami drew a map of the last island they were on, on the deck Brook's sweet voice could be heard together with Franky's guitar, Sanji was coming over the deck to the ladies, each with a refreshment and Zoro lifted weights as usual without a shirt so that his muscles are clearly visible in sunlight.

Sanji stopped outside the door to the gallery and looked at Zoro. He could not help but look at Zoro's scar that began on his chest, obliquely across and ended up on his stomach. Sanji stood there for a while until Zoro notices him.

"Oi, what would you kuso-cook?" Asked Zoro and lifted one eyebrow. Sanji just went in without a word.

`What's wrong with him?´ Zoro sighed and turned away from the door. `He has not said a word to me since last week. Is he okey... wait why am I thinking of him?! His problem is not my problem why am I worrying about him?´ Zoro sighed and shook his head `Am I feeling well?´ He thought. Unaware that Robin saw what happened between him and Sanji, Zoro climbed up to the crown's nest. He mumbled a bit for himself.

Robin who had put away the book she had been reading and saw Sanji stare at Zoro. She turned to Nami.

" Navigator-san." Nami looks up.

"Yes?"

"Chef-san and Swordsman-san have not had a fight since last week." Nami looks at Zoro who almost had climbed up the ladder.

"Chef-san has not talked to Swordsman-san ether." Nami nodded in agreement.

"Come, we are going to check it with Sanji, he seems more affected than Zoro." Nami walks in front of Robin on the way to the gallery.

Luffy had heard what the ladies had been talking about, then stopping so suddenly that Usopp crash into him and they both fall over the edge into the clear blue water.
