Chapter 3: Oshiete
"Sorry Zoro. Thanks!" The Straw hat Captain smiled at his first mate as he quickly dashed of heading towards the kitchen.
"Mnn… That's weird." A voice said from behind the swordsman.
"What is?" Zoro asked, raising an eyebrow to the raven haired girl.
"Don't you think that something is wrong with Captain-san, nee Swordsman-kun?" Robin asked. There was a few seconds of silence, she watched Zoro stand there thinking what could be wrong with their captain. Amused, she smiled and turned around, she said, "Well, if the captain is not saying anything then I guess it's nothing." leaving the swordsman behind.
"Tch! So that is to say that you want me to go and check out what's wrong with Luffy. Damn that woman." Zoro whispered to himself as click his tongue and scratch the back of his head.
During dinner that same day, Nami spoke, "Oi Luffy. Something's weird about you. Is there something that you are not telling us?"
All eyes stared at Nami and quickly switched their gaze to their captain who is stuffing himself with a giant buffalo meat that they got from the last island. Luffy ignored Nami's question and continued to stretch out his rubbery hands to reach for the tray of octopus fried dumplings that Sanji made and quickly stuffed himself with the food and swallowed it.
"Oi Luffy?" Nami called again.
"Mnnf… W-At? Mnngg" Luffy answers as he continues to munch on the food and stuff himself.
"Sigh. No. Nevermind." Nami sighed and just decided to ignore it. After all, it's their idiot captain that they are talking about here. What could possibly happen to him? But unbeknownst to them, only Sanji, Law, Zoro, Brook and Robin know that this is something that they should not ignore.
After dinner, Zoro went to the bird's nest to assume his post. Luffy was supposed to do the night watch for the week and since Luffy asked him, he just couldn't say no. Whilst everyone is sleeping, he kept on thinking why Luffy is acting strange. He has a feeling that the only people to have notice his strange behavior was him, Robin and the cook but to actually get Nami to also notice it means that his behavior is starting to get pretty obvious. It won't take long before the rest of the crew notices it and starts to worry. So he took a deep breath and he sighed. He peaked below and found Luffy sneaking around the deck and headed towards the launch pod that Frankie made. Wondering what's wrong, Zoro has decided to go down and follow Luffy.
At the launch pod, he saw Luffy entered the shark model submarine, thinking that it might not be a good idea he called out to his captain's name. "Oi Luffy! What do you think you're doing?"
Startled, Luffy jumped and faced Zoro. Zoro was surprised. He didn't think that his captain will be this startled just by calling out his name. What could've caused him to be this jumpy?
"Zo-Zoro? What're you doing here?" Luffy asked.
"I could ask the same to you. So? What are you doing here? What's going on Luffy? You've been really weird recently. First, you didn't eat lunch and dinner with the rest of us 2 days ago. Second, you've kept on requesting me to do the night shift for you and now this." Zoro pointed out with an irritated look on his face.
"Sorry Zoro. Really. But.. but I just can't.. listen, just for the week please." Luffy pleaded as he panicked.
"What is going on Luffy? You can't what? Why can't you tell me?" Zoro raised his voice.
"I… sorry, I can't. I…" Luffy avoided his first mate's gaze.
Irritated and really frustrated that he thinks that his captain does not trust him enough to confide his problems to him, he turned around and said, "FINE! Do what you want! I don't care!"
Luffy panicked, he knows that Zoro is angry just by the tone of his voice. As he watches his first mate walk away, he hurriedly grabbed Zoro's hand and stopped him.
"Oi!" Zoro yelled as he felt Luffy tug his clothes. When he turned to face Luffy, he saw tears fell down his cheek and he felt Luffy's hand tremble. Now that is really weird. What the hell happened? Zoro doesn't know what to do but he felt his chest tighten at the sight of his captain crying. What could've made Luffy cry? Is it because, he shouted at him? No. That can't be right. As Zoro tried to approach Luffy and reach out for his face he felt Luffy's shaking arms wrapped around him, hugging him. "Lu-Luffy! Oi! What the fuck!? What's wrong?"
There was silence, he did not hear even a simple hic or cry from his captain but he can feel the tears on the teen's cheeks as Luffy's face is buried in his chest and the trembling arms wrapped around him, clutching his clothes. Zoro has decided to let it pass, he gave Luffy time, time to sort out his feelings and to let him finish his cries. By the time that Luffy finished crying, he went straight to sleep. This worried Zoro even more.
Zoro let Luffy sleep. He carried the captain back to the bird's nest as he is still on duty. He couldn't let what happen with Breed a few nights back happen again. And so, he laid Luffy at the couch as he seated beside him, gently brushing Luffy's hair away from his face. 'Damn it! What the hell is wrong with you Luffy?' He thought to himself. What could've been the reason that he would cry this much to the point of passing out? Is this why Robin indirectly ordered him to ask their captain?
The next day, the Straw Hat pirates are having their boisterous meal as always. Luffy acted as if nothing happened that night and ate his meal like usual whilst Zoro just kept staring at his captain as he sips hi wine. When the meal was over, Sanji approached the swordsman and asked, "Did something happen to Luffy?"
Zoro looked at the cook and quickly switch his gaze to his captain who was playing with chopper at the deck, he answered, "Sa..."
Sanji, knew that Zoro will not say a thing but he really wanted to know what happened. It bothered him. Even so, he restrained himself, he whiff a smoke and calmly said, "Ah.. sou.."
THUD!
They all heard a loud BANG on the deck. Everyone rushed to see what was going on and they all found Luffy lying and unconscious.
"Lu-Luffy! We need a doctor! Someone!" Chopper yelled.
"You're the doctor." Usopp said as he hit Chopper's head.
"Ah! Th-That's right!" realizing that he is the ship's doctor, Chopper immediately tended to Luffy. He carefully checked Luffy's pulse and his breathing. "Frankie, can you bring Luffy to my room?" He ordered.
"Of cooourrrrrrrrrrrrrrsssssssseee.." and with a signature pose, Frankie answered Chopper and carried Luffy to the ship's clinic.
"Oi! What happened?" Zoro came rushing in followed by Sanji.
"I don't know yet. Luffy's breathing is erratic. Anyway, leave it to me. I'll look after him." Chopper answered as he locked the door to his clinic after advising everyone to step out of the room.
Zoro and Sanji stood at the front door with worried looks on their faces as Frankie, Usopp and Nami stood beside them whilst Robin, and Brook simply stood at the back leaning against the wooden wall and Momo is leaning against his father, Kini'emon.
"What happened, Usopp?" Nami asks.
"I-I dunno. Luffy, Chopper and I were chasing Momo around the deck and then it all got quiet. Luffy stood at the middle then the next thing I knew he's already lying on the grass."
Everyone went silent, waiting for Chopper's news.
"Where are you going Sanji?" Nami asks as she noticed Sanji taking his leave.
"Eh. I'm going back to the kitchen Nami-swan! I need to prepare a healthy snack once Luffy's awake!" Sanji answered happily as he faces Nami.
"That's a good idea. Please. Thank you, Sanji-kun." Nami smiled at him.
"Mellorine! Mellorine!" Sanji yells as he twirls around and left.
Unbeknownst to the rest, Sanji figured that Law might've done something to Luffy again and so he left to see Law. Still on the deck, he saw Law sitting with his legs crossed watching over Ceasar until he heard the captive spoke.
"Are you sure about this? I thought you already formed an alliance with Straw Hat." Ceasar asks but was only answered by silence. He looked straight at Law and added, "Well, it has got nothing to do with me so, whatever."
"What the hell did you do?!" Sanji yelled as he approaches Law.
Law looked up to find Sanji glaring down at him. He smirked and said, "What do you mean, Kuroashi-ya?"
"Enough, fucking around! What did you do this time?" Sanji yells.
Ceasar watched as Sanji glared at Law who is snickering in amusement. He couldn't keep quiet, and thought that this was just an interesting development so he spoke, "Ahaha.. I limited his oxygen supply."
"What!?" Sanji turned his head to Ceasar.
Ceasar raised his eyebrows and smirked when he saw Law glaring at him as well. He said, "The Gas-Gas no Mi… I can control all gaseous forms, naturally even oxygen. Law ordered me to constrict the circulation of oxygen around Strawhat's system, although I do not know why, I figured it was interesting so I lent him a hand. Shorororo.." and Ceasar laughs.
"Teme! Law!" Sanji quickly switched his attention to Law, glaring at him and Law simply glared at back at him.
Law slowly approached Sanji and said, "I told you…." He paused and stared at Sanji's eyes and added, "…he's mine."
They stayed like that for a couple of minutes until Law ordered Ceasar to lift the oxygen restriction on Luffy. Being a world renowned surgeon, he knows how the body system works. He figured that 20 minutes is more than enough to make Luffy pass out and anymore than that will kill him.
Chopper finally came out of his office only to be greeted by worried faces, he sighed and calmly said, "Luffy's alright now. He's sleeping."
Everyone sighed in relief.
Frankie spoke, "So, what happened to Rrrrufffy?"
"He was oxygen deprived." Chopper answered.
"Oxygen deprived? How?" Usopp asks.
"I don't know. There was nothing wrong with Luffy's body. I can only make a conjecture, if there was nothing wrong with his body then that would mean that the source is somewhere else." Chopper said.
"What do you mean, Chopper?" Zoro asks.
"It could mean that there was a thin layer of oxygen around Luffy that made it hard for him to breathe." Nami answered.
"That is correct. Although. I do not know why or how it happened." Chopper added.
"Well, Luffy-san is alright now, isn't he? So everything is all good. Come on everyone, you all need to rest. Luffy-san won't like it if he found us here standing and worrying about him. Yohohohoho." Brook said.
"I agree, de gozaru." Kini'emon nodded.
No matter how he hated following Nami's orders, Zoro chose to stay behind as everyone else left. He sat beside Luffy, watching him sleep. Luffy started to groan just half past an hour after he went to sleep. Zoro tried to shake Luffy awake but he won't wake up. Uncertain of what's happening, he has decided to call Chopper when he heard Luffy's groans turned into moans. Zoro was startled. He looked back at luffy and worriedly called out his name, "Lu-Luffy? Oi!"
"Mnngg… S….op.. pl…se..mmmmmnn…" Luffy moans.
"Wake up! Oi Luffy!" Zoro tries to shake Luffy awake, calling out his name. He repeatedly calls out Luffy's name for minutes until Luffy finally woke up. Panting and sweating, Luffy catches his breathe, his eyes widened and scared. He clutches the bed sheets as his body trembles. Zoro called out once more, "Luffy! Are you alright? Oi!"
Huffing, "Zo-Zoro?" Luffy utters.
"What happened? You were groaning in your sleep and then you…" Zoro gets cut off when he remembered Luffy's moans. His face reddens. He quickly shakes the thought out of his mind as he continued, "… Luffy? What's the matter?" But Luffy did not answer. As little patience he has, Zoro is already at his limit. Even though he's worried about Luffy, it just irritates him when Luffy doesn't say anything and so he grabbed Luffy's shoulders and turned him around to face him. He yelled, "Luffy! I want to help you! Let me help! I don't wanna see this side of you! Just tell me what happened!" Luffy evaded Zoro's gaze. Zoro sighs and looks down, he felt Luffy squirm, feeling uncomfortable. Finally noticing what's wrong, Zoro pulled the bedcover away, seeing a bulge on Luffy's pants. Zoro raises his head only to see his captain looks away and blushes. The sight of his captain acting as such is something that turned him on. He had to admit, for some weird reason he believed that Luffy look kinda sexy. He gulped and sighed, trying to concentrate and focus on the main issue. He spoke, "Luffy, it's alright. There's nothing wrong with it. I'm a guy too so I know how it feels. When you feel like that, it's best to just get it out of your system."
Luffy tries to look at Zoro, he utters Zoro's name, "Zo-ro… th-this is different… I…."
"Luffy, do you trust me?" Zoro asks and received a nod from his strawhat captain. "Then, tell me what happened. Why are you acting like this?" He continued but received no response from Luffy. "Luffy…." He utters with sincerity in his eyes, he sighed. "Alright. I got it. I won't force you to tell me. You better take a rest. Get back to sleep. I'll watch over you." Zoro added as he simply ruffles Luffy's hair, making him feel at ease.
As Zoro was about to step aside, he felt Luffy tugged his clothes, he looked back and saw Luffy looking at him, blushing and panting. He heard his name. Luffy called put his name, "Zo-ro?" Shyly, Luffy is signaling that he is in pain, he won't say a word. Zoro, being dense and stupid as his captain, it took him a while to figure out what Luffy actually wants.
Zoro blushes then sighed. "Are you sure, Luffy?" he asks. Luffy simply gave him a nod. He sighed once more and found that Luffy is still trembling. "There's no turning back Luffy." And Luffy answered another nod. "Alright. Come here." Zoro answers.
Luffy reaches out to grab Zoro's hands when Zoro pulled him, closing the few inches gap between their bodies. "Zoro…" Luffy utters his firstmate's name.
"It's alright. Tell me when to stop, Luffy." Zoro whispers by his ear. He simply gave a nod just as soon as he felt Zoro's hand touches his torso.
Luffy clutched Zoro's shirt as he buries his face on his chest when Zoro's hand slowly worked its way on Luffy's pants carefully caressing the teenage captain. By the time he heard his pants being unzipped, his erection sprang from its constraints releasing pre-cum, Luffy moaned as he felt the cold air brush his erection.
Zoro touched Luffy's erect member and caresses it, earning a soft moan from Luffy. Luffy winced and allowed Zoro's hands to wander around his body. He felt strong and callused hands make its way around his rear, slowly poking his hole making him gasped.
"Mnnghgg.." Luffy cringed as he clutched Zoro's clothes tighter.
Concerned, Zoro asks, "Are you alright Luffy? Do you want me to stop?"
Luffy shook his head slightly. Luffy blushes as he heard Zoro spoke, "Luffy." and at the same time, Zoro inserts his middle finger inside Luffy's hole.
The sudden intrusion doesn't feel disgusting at all, kinda like how Sanji did it. Then, Luffy suddenly remembered what happened with Law. Luffy started to shiver. Worried, Zoro was about to pull his finger out when Luffy stared at Zoro's face with determination… no… with desperation in his eyes and said, "Do-don't… s-top… Zoro!"
As worried as he is, he did not ask any further. Zoro continued to thrust in his middle finger and followed by a second, slowly scissoring Luffy's hole until he hit those bundle of nerves from within his walls.
Luffy moans in pleasure, "Aaahhhnn… Zo-Zoro.."
Zoro bits his lips and continues to thrusts his fingers in trying to reach that bundle of nerves again as he paces his strokes on Luffy's member. Repeatedly, Zoro hit those nerves over and over again until Luffy arched his back and came in Zoro's hand.
Panting and sweating heavily, Luffy rests his head on Zoro's shoulders and cries, "I'm sorry Zoro.. I'm sorry." until he finally passed out.
Zoro sighs, and gently put Luffy to bed. He brushed away Luffy's hair from his face, and wiped the tears from his eyes and said, "Idiot! You should learn to trust me more, Luffy."
End of this Chapter
A/n: Sigh. This chapter really gave me a hard time. I really don't know how or what story am I gonna put here. So this might've turned out a bit disappointing unlike the previous two chapters. Please do forgive me. I guess, I just wasn't inspired enough to actually finish writing this chapter. Seriously, I was trying to aim and finish it with the same theme, 'angst'. It just won't go that way. Grrr… it's not as good as chapter 2. I guess, Sanji already stole all the good lines and the good scenes. Ahaha.. I really can't come up with anything for Zoro. Anyway, I can't make any excuses for this lame chapter. I just really didn't know what to put in there and how am I gonna end it. I might revise it in the future but who knows. Do you guys have any suggestions?
