Zoro and Robin Intro
NOTE: This is set after the time skip and just after fishman island, but no lily on the ship from the whales, from there I will be altering the story of one piece entirely, so no Punk Hazzard with Smoker or anything, just a heads up, however I will be kind of adding in my own small adventures, nothing too big though.
Brook seemed depressed after seeing that whale and thinking it was Laboon for that small moment, but who wouldn't, after all his one goal was to make it back to Laboon. To have thought he had completed his one goal to make it back to his friend, just for that one moment he felt immense joy. Luffy on the other hand looked as if he had already forgotten the incident, he was already nagging Sanji for food, Ussop and Chopper at his side supporting him. Nami returned to her duties as a navigator and saw what seemed to be nothing but clear skies, but not for a moment would she let her guard down as this was the infamous New World, where weather can change the moment you blink. Franky had disappeared to tend to the Sunny's needs and weapons as usual. Zoro found himself at his usual spot, sitting down with his swords at his side and the aftertaste of booze in his mouth, he scowled and decided he needed a refill. When he got up to get one, he caught Robin looking over at him with her usually emotionless smile, he decided it was best not to address it and carried on with his walk to the kitchen. Sanji was making another attempt to steal Nami's heart, while Luffy, Ussop and Chopper scowled knowing they would have to wait for Nami to turn and smack Sanji until they were going to get him to do anything.
"Good" Zoro thought to himself, while that hopeless idiot wasted his time with her, he could safely grab a bottle of booze without having that stupid cook nag at him. He retrieved a fully caped bottle of booze and walked calmly back to his spot, acting as if he didn't see Robin with her eyes still locked on him. She was leaning on her hand and seemed to be only interested by Zoro. The ship shook from the impact of Sanji's head being punched into the floor boards. Luffy, Ussop and Chopper scowled even more, now they would have to wait for Sanji to wake up till they could get their food. Music began to play, Brook had recovered from his sadness and was playing the day away with his unrivalled dreamy musical skills, enough to make the emptiest man in the world smile for a while. A grin spout on Zoro's face as he imagined good tides with his friends ahead. He went back to when the crew were about to enter the Grand Line, they all spilled their goals and smiled as they did it. Feeling Robins eyes on him, he looked over to her to face her, there she was. Her grin filled with surfaced happiness and giggling away at the good times she could find. As Zoro slumped back down to his usual place on the floor, he thought nothing but to smile and watch as Luffy, Ussop and Chopper began to laugh and dance side by side, Franky emerged laughing with three bottles of cola, Nami was smiling and making her way over to Robin, Sanji lay unconscious but still smiling. Everyone was happy to take a small break after their adventure with Jinbe and with this happiness was a great way to ascend into their next adventure together as friends. Zoro drank to this and thought of nothing but happy times.
When Sanji came around ten minutes later, he began cooking the food for the crew with Luffy, Ussop and Chopper drooling over his shoulder asking him for tasters and rushing him, Brooks music still echoed throughout the ship as did Nami, Robbin and Frankys laughter.
Soon the food was served, Zoro knew he had to eat now before Luffy, Ussop and Chopper got to it, so he grabbed the first thing that looked like meat, refilled his booze and returned to his spot when he thought he would sit alone and eat quietly, but he caught sight of Robin heading his way with her plate of food (specially prepared for her by the air head cook) and her cocktail (also specially prepared) with a nice non forced smile on her face…
