A/N: Okay, so I wanted to have an OP fic with children in it along with it being ZoLu-ish (they will already have an established relationship) in the process… SO THIS SPAWNED! Any ideas for interesting and fun mishaps or adventures are welcome since this was a random idea, and I really have no idea where I'll be going with this fic. ADVENTURE FOR ALL! Sorry that it isn't the AU I promised... that might be posted later, dunno. This takes place after Ace is freed (HE'S ALIVE DAMN IT! In this fic anyway TT_TT) and everyone is back together on Sunny.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own One Piece, just this idea and the kid/human versions of Kitetsu, Ichimonji, and Shuusui. I also don't own the songs I post here for suggestion for you guys to listen to. It all for fun.

EDIT: Changes to the kids' ages & appearances. Also, I changed Kitetsu's name from 'Kitesu', sorry for the misspelling! (I saw a picture with Shuusui with the designs green… I thought it looked cool, and I also wanted each of them to have their own color scheme.)

On with the show!

The Trio

Laughing…

They. Were. LAUGHING!

Zoro's eye twitched, teeth bared at the insolence of the Straw Hat crew, every single one holding their gut in laughter.

Except for Sanji, he was on the floor about to piss himself he was laughing so hard at the swordsman's appearance.

But even Robin was laughing! ROBIN!

"Y-you r-r-eally are a- AHAHH! MARIMO!" Cried out Usopp, joining Sanji on the floor with tears in his eyes. The two of them rolled around on the lawn of the Thousand Sunny in fits of laughter, and even Chopper joined them.

"Yohoho! I think it looks spectacular!" Said the living skeleton, quite pleased with someone else taking on his hairstyle.

Silver eyes narrowed at the crew before putting a hand on his hair, trying to make it calm down. They had just gotten through a large electrical storm; Zoro got hit three times with lightning because of his swords, and every hair on the top of his head had split and poofed out into a small afro. Now very much resembling a Marimo that Sanji claimed him to be.

Zoro thought getting hit by Enel was painful, but this humiliation was even more hurtful than a thousand volts running through his body... and he should know how that feels. A growl erupted from his throat as a hand other than his own went through his hair. Luffy examined the singed green poof, a look of concentration and contemplation replacing the laughter and grin.

The irritated and embarrassed kenshi slapped away his Captain's hand before heading to the men's quarters. He needed to fix this then he was going to take a well deserved nap!

Luffy was no longer having fun… it's never fun when Zoro was mad. A sigh passed through his lips as he watched his First Mate disappeared through one of the doors into the boy's sleeping area. Franky raised a brow as Luffy wordlessly followed the man.

"What's his problem?" The cyborg asked, jabbing a thumb in the direction of Luffy before he too disappeared behind the door.

Robin smiled lightly, those two are something else.

"You must understand that when one of them acts strange or hurt the other will be affected, Cyborg-san." She said calmly, before heading up towards the woman's quarters.

"Cook-san, could I get some coffee?"

"HAI, ROBIN-CHWAN!" Cried the cook before disappearing into the kitchen.

The others dispersed as well, having other stuff to do since the fun was now over.

Luffy entered the large room, his eyes going right for the wooden bunks. Ocean blue eyes rested on the three swords that rested on Zoro's wooden hammock, but no Zoro. Then, the sound of running water and a curse caught his ears. A grin spread on the teen's face, Zoro's so silly sometimes. Striding to the bathroom, the Captain walking right in to see the swordsman attempting to wet his hair and tame the ridiculous hair style. Thankfully it was working.

"Na, Zoro get rid of it?"

Silver eyes met ocean blue.

Zoro rubbed the water soaked towel on his head several more times before removing it and looking into the mirror. He let out a sigh of relief, glad his hair went down and would be perfectly normal when it dried.

"Yeah, man, I need a nap." The man said, scratching his head before letting out a long yawn.

Luffy smiled before suddenly wrapping himself around the man's torso, his hat falling from his head to hang from the string around his neck as he rubbed his face into the man's chest.

"Glad you're better! I don't like Zoro mad, or with an afro. Afros are for Brook." He said with a laugh.

Zoro smirked, wrapping his arms around his silly Captain, running a hand through raven black hair.

"I'm still going to get the stupid sniper and Love-Cook back though…" Zoro growled under his breath, still sore from how much the two made fun of him.

"Na, Zoro can fight later." Luffy piped, having heard the whisper.

The Captain brought a hand up to Zoro's face, lightly tracing the sharp features of the swordsman's face.

Zoro sighed, Sanji forgotten as he moved them both to lean against the bathroom wall before closing his eyes, a warm feeling spreading through his chest as the feather light touches continued sending chills down his spine, and a warmth spreading throughout his body. Even after nearly a year of this; Zoro could never get used to how touchy and gentle the rubberman was. He always had believed that if the boy ever got into a relationship with anyone, it would probably be very much the opposite of what was happening right now. Oh how very wrong he was.

Luffy loved to touch, he found everything about the swordsman interesting: tan skin, the ever present scowl and the lines it made, his hair (His hair is such an AWESOME color), defined muscles, the indents on his forehead, earrings, the birthmark behind his ear, everything! Luffy traced Zoro's angular nose, then trailed down a little to run his thumb over the swordsman's bottom lip. Luffy's smile expanded into a grin as he was rewarded with a small growl from the kenshi.

"Been awhile since we've done anything like this." Zoro mumbled huskily, bringing a calloused hand up to Luffy's face, tracing the small scar under his left eye.

"No time." He simply said before running fingers lightly over the silver eyed man's strong neck. This was true though, with all the events happening back to back, this was probably the first break they've got in several months.

Zoro shivered at the touch, arm around the lean boy's waist tightening. The hand on the boy's face urged him up to the swordsman.

Ocean blue eyes grinned up at lidded silver ones before they both closed, and their lips met tenderly in a light kiss. The contact made them sigh, both completely and utterly content with their lips moving against one another softly. The coarse hand on Luffy face moved back into his black hair, and began running through the untamable locks. Luffy smiled into the kiss and felt Zoro do the same before his tongue came out to lick the younger's bottom lip slowly. Luffy opened his eyes before blinking.

He usually had to be the one to make the first move… what an unexpected yet very pleasant surprise! Zoro pulled back a little and opened his eyes partially and smirking, giving Luffy a very predatory look. The Captain felt a shiver go throughout his entire body, finding the look to be very, very, very…

Well, he wasn't quite sure how to describe how he felt, but it was exciting. Zoro suddenly flipped them, pinning Luffy to the wall with his body, hands on either side of the boy's head before leaning down to trace the tip of his nose up Luffy's neck, making the younger teen shiver and let out a soft moan from the sensation.

"Zoro…"

The said man grinned as he licked Luffy's ear before nibbling on the lobe meriting another moan for the teen making Zoro breath heavily against Luffy's face before attaching their lips again, this time with more heat and passion.

"Should we still be here?"

"It's not like we haven't seen it before… We've seen them doing it once."

"Yeah, but we can run now."

"Guys, shut up! They'll hear us!"

Both males paused, eyes going wide at the whispered voices. They were caught. Zoro was about to jump the intruders when something registered in his mind.

He'd never heard those three voices before, yet they sounded so familiar…

Stepping away from Luffy, the two exited the bathroom.

"Oi! Who's on my ship?" Luffy called out into the boys' room, eyes narrowing.

He didn't take kindly for intruders, especially ones that ruin a moment between him and Zoro.

"Oh crap, they heard us!"

"I told you!"

"They're gonna find us, and then we're gonna die!"

"Calm down, they won't kill us. Especially Zoro, baka."

A small boy around the age of eight with wild black hair jumped up from behind Zoro's wooden hammock, face furious, grey eyes aflame with rage. He wore a pair of black shorts that had an interesting green circular image on each leg, an open sleeveless black vest with the same symbol on the back, and with a red trim design on the cuffs of the shirt, he was shoeless.

All the designs matched Shuusui, Zoro's sword.

"Oi! I ain't a baka! You just need to shut your face, Kitetsu!"

Everything seemed to stop. Zoro and Luffy just looked blankly at the small kid who had froze in place, still pointing at whoever else was behind the hammock. Then suddenly, something clicked in the swordsman's mind.

"Kitetsu?" He cried out loud making the kid yelp and jump back behind the bed.

"Na, isn't that the name of one of your swords, Zoro?" Luffy asked, tilting his head to the side.

He didn't answer him as the two men walked over to peek behind the hanging bed.

There, two of the three kids that stood there seemed like they wanted to disappear right through the ship's wall, while the other stood there picking his nose with his pinky in a very Luffy-like manner.

"What. The. HELL?" Zoro's jaw fell open as he stared at the three; the other two mirrored the kenshi's actions.

"Yo." The booger digger spoke.

"Hi." Luffy replied sitting down in front of the kids, the calm one following Luffy's action.

He was the oldest, probably around twelve. He had a distinctive appearance that stood out from the other two. For one, his eyes were a deep red color that held the promise of trouble and they glowed lightly, giving him a demonic aura. His long pony tail kept hair was also a dark red color. He wore a black tank top and an unbuttoned black dress shirt that had a red flame-like design on the edges that reminded Zoro too much of Kitetsu's blade. He also supported a pair of black shorts and like the others, was shoeless.

"So who are you, and why are you on my ship?"

"Sandai Kitetsu. And we've always been on this ship, just not like this."

"Eh?" Luffy tilted his head, clearly confused.

"We're the spirits of father's swords… Or rather, we are the swords." Piped up the six year old girl, who had built up her bravery to get off the wall and to sit next to Kitetsu in front of Luffy.

She had wide silver eyes that reminded the teen of Zoro (Who was still completely frozen) with white hair that was a tamer version of the other kids hair, more like Luffy's own hairstyle, just a bit longer. Her outfit was also similar to the others, but inverted. She wore white shorts and a white tank top with an open long sleeved button up shirt that had gold trim on it.

Very Wadō like.

"Father?" Luffy asked, tilting his head again, curiously.

She pointed to the frozen man, whose eyes only widened when the small finger pointed at him. The Captain laughed suddenly, slapping his hand on his knee like this was the most hilarious thing ever to occur on the face of this planet.

"Zoro! Your swords are kids!"

The said man immediately fell backwards in a dead faint.

Yup... R&R!
