It was another calm day on the Thousand Sunny. One that they needed more often thought Zoro. It was one of those days that could make him fall asleep in a blink of an eye. There was just the right amount of noise coming from all of his crew mates and a gentle breeze that gently brushed against his bare skin when he laid in the shade.
It was a beautiful day for him. Nobody bothered him because nothing needed to be done and everyone was just relaxing and doing their own stuff.
The four men, Luffy, usopp, chopper and brook were doing their usual games and fooling around with each other while Franky was down in the deck working on some kind of machine or weaponry to add to his personal collections or the ship.
The two ladies of the crew were sunbathing and discussion about all kinds of things. Zoro didn't want to know what they were talking about as they only increased his irritation levels and he wanted to enjoy the day. The only thing that could darken this day was the blond cook. But luckily for Zoro he was preparing dinner for everyone and wasn't fawning over the ladies, offering all kinds of exotic foods and drinks.
Zoro didn't hate Sanji. But there wasn't any love either. It was a mixture of irritation and dislike in each other. But when the time calls they could fight together, sometimes, almost never.
Zoro opened his one eye and looked around slowly. He had a gentle smile on his face. One that he didn't have often. Only when he was fighting or drinking. He closed his tired eyes as he soon drifted off to his dream world where he would have his dreams of becoming the best swordsman in the world.
~S~
"Zoro! Wake up!" Was yelled by a feminine voice. There was irritation in her voice. Zoro decided to ignore the calling as he pretended to be asleep.
Suddenly a heavy foot landed on his head and his eyes instantly snapped open and looked from who it was. Sanji. "What do you want? Can't ya see I am busy sleeping?" He groaned as Nami stood in front of him.
"I have called you countless times! We are in the middle of a storm!" She yelled angry. Zoro sighed in annoyance as he stood up. Throwing the foot away from the cook and glaring at him.
"And? Ask Franky to boost us away."
"The boost isn't ready yet." Nami said angry. "This is the New World we are talking about! So go and help luffy now!" She commanded. he grabbed his swords and slid them into his haramaki (1).
"Whatever you want woman." He muttered as he scanned the deck to find his captain fooling around. Once found he walked to him calmly, not even minding the raging storm they were in.
Over the course of a couple minutes the storm only grew fiercer as they gotten closer to the center where they were pulled in towards. Eventually zoro had begun to realize the danger and started to work. But only slightly as he didn't want to do anything at all. He trusted his crew mates enough to help him out of a storm.
While he was carrying a box he managed to crash against his rival, sanji. "Oi! Look out where ya going stupid cook!" Zoro yelled angry as he had dropped the box.
"you are the one who bumped against me! you marimo-head!" He yelled angry against Zoro.
"What?! You wanna fight?!" Zoro asked and there was a spark between the two men. Zoro pulled out his swords as Sanji began to deliver fierce kicks that with intend of harm. Resulting in a shock wave that made the ship shake.
"Stop fighting you two idiots!" Nami yelled from where she stood above. Both ignored the calling woman as the storm made it almost impossible to hear her nag.
Zoro pushed against the foot as both jumped away a short distance from each other. Instantly Franky yelled. "Boost ready!" Suddenly the whole ship began to shake. But just before they had boosted into the air, a lighting strike had hit the blond man and rendering him unconscious. Zoro didn't notice as he was pushed against the railing of the deck by the sheer force of the boost.
Once up in the air Zoro stood up and looked down at the blue sea that was beneath them. They did this every so often but he still couldn't believe that they could fly. He had forgotten about his fight but once he heard the yells from chopper he looked back.
"Someone call a doctor!" Chopper yelled in panic as everyone sighed and informed him that he was the doctor. They gathered around as they saw the blond man laying on the ground. There was some smoke coming of him as luffy started to poke him, asking if he was still alive.
Chopper instantly turned to his strong point and lifted the cook to the infirmary for treatment. And as expected, no dinner tonight.
~S~
It took a whole day for the cook to wake and everyone was standing in the room. Sanji was laying on the bed, covered in bandages. The smell of burning flesh was still in the room. Sanji slowly became conscious as he sat up.
Instantly everyone cheered in happiness. "Sanji is back!" Luffy yelled happy as he threw his hands in the air. Sanji said nothing as it looked like he wasn't paying any attention to all the sounds around him.
"Sanji? Are you still unconscious!?" Usopp asked as he poked the cook's cheek. Sanji shook his head slowly.
"N-no.." He stuttered as he looked up at the crew. He opened his eyes. They had no life in them. It was just a blank stare. A minute of silence as sanji muttered something. No one could hear it.
"Repeat?" Nami asked.
"I can't see.." he said this time a little louder but it was nothing more than a whisper. Everyone's eyes widened at the news. Chopper instantly went to check the Cook's eyes.
Sanji looked at his hands as he knew where they were but couldn't see them. "You are kidding right?" Nami asked scared as sanji's only responds was shaking his head to the crew.
"Luffy.." He began as everyone's attentions turned at the blind cook. "I'm sorry.. please, get rid of me.." Everyone looked terrified to hear what he said. Before anyone could even say anything he began again. "I am nothing more than extra weight that isn't needed."
Zoro, who was standing in the door way walked away. Angry? Annoyed? Sad? All these feelings rushed through him as he didn't know what to do. comfort his rival? Say everything will be okay? Those things don't work on the cook.
While he was walking away he could hear Luffy's yells about him not giving up on his blond cook. Zoro walked away from the yelling and screams. Trying to forget the guilt feeling. What if I didn't bum into him? What if we didn't fight? What if, what if, what if.
Zoro's vision suddenly get blurry. Tears? He wiped them away angry. "No! it is his own stupid fault." He said angry and he walked to the crow's nest where he had his weights and training supplies. He went to train, forgetting all the feelings that were inside of him and replace them with sweat.
Everyone in the infirmary was gone after the chopper demanded it wanting to give the cook rest. The whole crew was silent. No one dared to speak. All having a thought about their favorite cook and thinking of what to do now. But there was some sounds. Everyone tried to get their thoughts off.
Franky and Usopp where making another machine. They didn't talk. Only the soft hammering on metal could be heard. Nami was making her maps and robin deciphering some texts to keep her busy. Chopper was making medicines and doing everything in his powers to get Sanji's eye sight back while brook was sitting on the railing and looking over at the blue sea, playing a gentle melody on his violin as Luffy was sitting against the railing. Listening to brook's melody tear jerking melody.
All the sounds that were made only covered up the sobbing coming from the infirmary where one man was crying to his heart's content.
~S~
Night had come slowly as everyone was still in mourn. Everyone had put their thoughts to tomorrow and they had fallen asleep in their beds except Zoro. He had night's watch. He liked having the night to himself. No one to bug him and then the next day people would leave him asleep on the deck.
But this night he had wished he could have slept in his cozy bed. Cuddled up against his blankets while dreaming about gods knows what. Now he needed to have something to think about that is different from a blond haired man.
He couldn't train again as he had done that the whole day and unnecessary training would only reopen his wounds. Many of his wounds got reopened by his arch rival and master, Mihawk.
He walked around on the deck bored. He had already made several rounds around the ship to get his mind of things but that did help at all. And there was nothing on the blue sea except water. Suddenly while he was walking past the kitchen door he heard some plates fall and a painful groan.
Zoro sighed in annoyance as he had guessed Luffy had sneaked in again. He opened the door and saw to his surprise the blond cook laying on the ground. Holding his hand in pain as he had burned himself while trying to cook in his blind state. Zoro wondered how the Sanji had come this far without falling of deck.
Once hearing the footsteps of zoro, sanji instantly looked from where the sound came from. "Go away." He muttered. Zoro didn't say anything but he kept walking to the cook.
"Don't get closer.." Sanji said while crawling away from the footsteps. Zoro grabbed the man from the ground. He was lighter than he seemed. All the muscle was in the Cook's legs. Zoro carried the blond by his waist and Sanji started to kick and hit Zoro weakly as he just let him on the ground.
"I didn't asked to be helped!" sanji said as he began to kick but failed miserably and he only missed. A minute passed of kicks and sanji stopped. He stumbled towards where he thought was zoro and fell against him. "Why aren't you speaking?" he asked and Zoro said again nothing.
Zoro helped Sanji to sit down on a chair. Zoro knew where the first aid kit was in the kitchen and grabbed it. he had a basic knowledge of how to treat wounds since he got them when he was younger and didn't have a chopper at hand.
He begin to wrap up the cook's hands gently. Something he thought he would never do. The cook allowed it, knowing that he couldn't do anything about it. Zoro hated to see Sanji in his weak state.
A couple of minutes later zoro stood up from the crouching position he sat in. He pulled Sanji up and begin walking at which Sanji grabbed the back of Zoro's shirt letting Zoro guide him.
Zoro began to walk to the infirmary again. Once there he laid the cook down in the bed. Without saying anything he closed the door again and began his rounds again under the soft melodies of Sanji's sobs.
