Just a cute little drabble. Not even a ZoLu... It's actually kind of boring, but I decided to put it up anyway. Please read it! You might like it! ^^ This was inspired by the German song Haus am See by Peter Fox. Haus am See means 'house by the lake'. It sounds like house by the sea, though^^ It's a really nice song. It fits One Piece unexpectedly well, in my opinion anyway. My favourite line would have to be: 'Wenn ich so daran denke, kann ich's eigentlich kaum erwarten'. You don't have to listen to it to read this drabble, but it would be nice. It is a really good song.

Ah, but don't get fooled into thinking I speak German. Because I don't. I understand it more or less, but don't think I can speak or write it. I'm proud of myself for understanding what the song is about^^ Haus am See is popular on the radio in more countries than Germany! ^^

Disclaimer: I do not own One Piece.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy it, as short as it may be. Reviews make me happy! ^^

House by the sea

"Hey Luffy?"

"Yes, Zoro?"

"You're going to be the Pirate king."

"I know." Luffy answered, grinning. It was quiet again for a bit. Luffy sat on his special seat, Zoro had been sleeping somewhere close and was now waking up. The rest of the crew was conveniently busy elsewhere, so it was just the two of them.

"What will you do after that?"

"Keep sailing."

"And after that?"

"Why're you asking all of a sudden?" Luffy asked back, turning to look at Zoro.

"Don't know. Strange dreams, I guess." Dreams of Luffy leaving him when everything was over.

"I won't stop sailing for a while. A long while. But when I do, I guess I'll have to find a house."

"A house?"

"Yes, a house by the sea."

"Why by the sea?"

"Because I want it. I like the sea."

"Do you know where?"

"Does it matter? As long as it is a nice place!"

"I see."

"But you know, there is only one thing that's really important."

"And that is?"

"There has to be a lot of space! Otherwise we can't all live there! It has to be large enough so that we can all live there happily. We'll live there peacefully and we won't need to do anything we don't want to. We could have a whole mikan grove! A huge garden to play in. A kitchen, a library. Everything!"

"We're stuck to you for the rest of our lives, aren't we, captain?" Zoro said, smiling. He should have known.

"Nakama forever!" Luffy said, grinning back. "I want to see new places and meet new people and I won't stop sailing for a long while, but you know? When I think about it like that, I can hardly wait."
