On a late morning, Zoro was training as usual, in isolation. Everyone was going by their usual activities.

"Lunchtime!" Said a voice. It was Sanjine, the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates. Everyone ran to the kitchen with empty stomachs. Sanjine came to the watchtower.

"Marimo!" She called out. "Come down and get something to eat!" Zoro was still training. "3,000, 3,001, 3,002…"

"Marimo!"

"WHAT?!"

"Luffy's eating your food!" Zoro stopped training and went downstairs. "You really shouldn't strain yourself like that," Sanjine said, showing concern for the swordsman's well being. "Shut up, I'm fine," He replied coarsely. "Telling a lady to shut up, what bad manners!" She grew angry. "What's your problem?"

"Rude men! And rude men don't get to eat!" "What? Why you-"

"Luffy! Zoro isn't hungry!" She yelled. "Damn you!" "If you're fine, then you don't need my food! Go get your own!" Sanjine angrily sprinted back to the kitchen. Zoro grabbed his swords and went down to the ocean to search for prey.

Later that day, Zoro was awakening from a nap. "That was good," He said to himself, going back to training. He noticed the ship stopped at a small island. He showed little interest and went to his own matters.

Sanjine was carrying some food in a bag. "This should be enough," She said to herself. She made her way up to the Sunny and heard Zoro training at the watchtower. She puffed up her face and went to the kitchen. At the watchtower Zoro was doing pushups while balancing a large barbell on his feet. He was straining. "I can't die…" He thought to himself. "Not here…"

Zoro remembered his trial with Bartholomew Kuma. Upon taking all of Luffy's pain, he was left for dead but somehow survived. Sanjine witnessed the aftermath.

"What happened here!? What's with all of this blood?!" She yelled.

"Nothing…happened!"

Zoro came to. "What happened…" He trailed off. Someone was near him. It was Sanjine. "Are you alright?" She said. "There's a lot of sweat on the floor…" Zoro looked around. "Is everyone still on the island?" He asked.

"Yep, just us."

"Good. I'm a little hungry." He looked at her.

"You jerk! How dare you have your way with me?!" Sanjine yelled, while being fucked by Zoro. "You didn't resist when I made my attempt," He replied to her. "Well, it's been a while and the others have gotten suspicious of us, mainly Nami."

"Well, we don't have to hide what we're doing."

"Yes we do! I don't want the others to know we're having sex!"

"Why not?"

"Because-" She shrilled at the sensation. "…because how would I look around Nami and Robin if they found out my rivalry with you was all a farce? Usopp wouldn't let me live it down…"

"Not my problem," Zoro said bluntly. "You wanted to fuck, I'm fucking you." Sanjine turned around to him. "Change positions." She was on him in the cowgirl position. "You said you were hungry, dumb marimo!"

"You're more hungry than I am, Lovecook." Zoro flashed a smile. "Shut up!" She moved in close to him and began kissing him. "What a shameful thing I'm doing." She thought to herself. "We all are family, to go this far is crossing the line…

Sanjine remembered when she and the moss-headed swordsman had their first encounter. In the jungles of Little Garden, the two were arguing over a triceratops' body having any nutritional value.

"It was tough," Zoro said. "You can get a lot out of this rhino!"

"It's all cartilage and bone!" Sanjine replied angrily. "You really did it now, marimo!"

"Marimo!?"

"Yeah, Marimo!"

"You swirly-browed airhead!"

"Take that back!"

"No, you take back what you said about my rhino!"

"Never!"

"Then screw you, I'm going exploring!" Zoro left. "Fine, go ahead and leave!" Sanjine yelled. She went her own way. Suddenly, a T-Rex was staring her down. "It's you again!" She lifted her leg and prepared to kick it when Zoro came from behind and felled it in one strike. "There, I killed your chicken," He said, sneering. Sanjine looked at him, tensing up.

"I didn't need your help, you, you…"

He looked at her with a blank look.

From out of nowhere she kissed him. "What the hell are you trying?!" He asked, bewildered. "I can't hide it anymore," She said, ripping off her shirt.

"I need gentleman!"
