I hope I succeeded lol Please enjoy it!

The Thousand Sunny was riding the turbulent winds as the crew hustled about on deck. "Everyone keep it up! We've almost reached the island!" Nami shouted through the

crashing waves and thunder. The log post had pointed to a certain direction for a while now which suggested that land was up ahead. Sanji and Zoro tied the ropes of the

masts while Luffy sat in his usual captain's seat—on top of Thousand Sunny's "head". "LUFFY?! DAMNITT, GET DOWN FROM THERE!" Nami yelled at him. Their captain tended

to fall into the water far too often during these situations. "Shishishi~ This is so much fun!" Luffy didn't have a care in the world as he held on to his hat and smiled ahead.

"LUFFY-!" "Ahh, Nami-san? What should I do about these two?" Robin asked as she held a trembling Usopp and sobbing Chopper above her in one of her many arms. Nami

sighed in frustration. All of the men in this crew were IDIOTS. "First of all, just put them down somewhere-" "ARE YOU CRAZY?! WHAT IF WE FALL INTO THE OCEAN AND

DROWN?!" Usopp yelled in retaliation. Hearing the word "drown" made chopper cry out, "I don't want to die!" Poor Nami was having more trouble with these two than the storm

itself.

"Watch where you're going, shitty moss head!" Sanji yelled at Zoro despite him being the one who stumbled on him. The wind was so strong that he lost his footing. "Huh?!

You're the one that bumped into me, pervy cook!" Zoro couldn't believe the nerve of the guy! "I didn't bump into you! The wind just pushed you in my way!" Sanji denied what

really happened. There's no way he'd let Zoro bring up how he was almost blown away to spite him later on. "Stop twisting the details!" Zoro argued. He knew damn well he of

all people would not get blown away by some wind. That scrawny bastard on the other hand though…. "Guys! We're really close now!" Franky announced as he steered the

ship. Moments later, the shipped crashed on the shore. "We're saved!" cried out Chopper and Usopp while crying and jumping for joy. "Franky, lower the anchor, we're going to

look for food on this island." Nami ordered as she and Robin got off the ship. Luffy jumped from his seat and clapped his hands cheerfully, "Food~ Food~ It'll be great if we

found some tasty meat, too!" he sang as he ran ahead. "Luffy, wait!" Nami ran after him. "Nami-swan! Robin-chwan! Wait for me!" Sanji ran after the ladies. Zoro couldn't help

but scowl at how Sanji was acting with the ladies. Everyone was off the ship and were now walking on the island. Once they went down deep enough into the forest, they

saw a plethora of trees with all kinds of fruits. Luffy's mouth watered and everyone looked amazed. Luffy was so hungry he immediately plucked a fruit from one of the trees

and ate it greedily. "Luffy, what if it's poisonous?!" Nami scolded him. Though she couldn't deny how delicious the fruits look. "We can only pray that if it is poisonous that he

won't regurgitate all of his intestines…." Robin said in an eerie and calm manner. "Don't say such things!" Usopp yelled at her. "Yummy!" announced Luffy with glistening eyes.

"Well, he's not dead yet, they're probably fine." Zoro said as he cut down a tree. "Well, alright…let's try some and then bring them back to the ship!" Nami was the second one

to try a fruit. She never tasted anything like it, she only had tasted mandarins. After the crew had their fill, Nami ordered them to start stocking up. "Oh, Sanji and Zoro

should look around the island while we do this." Nami looked back at them before leaving. "Why the hell do I have to do this with HIM?!" Sanji was the last person Zoro wanted

to be with. "Because…we need someone to guarantee that our swordsman doesn't end up so lost that he's on the next island. Now, get to it!" and with that, she left. "Yes,

Nami-swan~!" Sanji didn't want to be stuck with Zoro, either, but he'd do anything for Nami. After waving at Nami's back, he turned to find a missing moss head. "That

shitty….WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GO NOW?!" Sanji scrambled around trying to find him. He swore that the moment he'd see him, he'd fry him with his diable jamble.

Zoro kept walking through the forest. "Ha! Look at that, Nami made that bastard come to make sure I wouldn't get lost, but he's the one missing!" Zoro never realizes how

hopelessly lost he is. He suddenly noticed smoke a few feet away. There must be someone else here! What if it's an enemy? Zoro walked stealthily and kept his hand on his

swords. When he emerged from the forest, his eyes met with the eyes of an old woman. The woman looked harmless and shaken up by Zoro's menacing glare. He sighed and

relaxed. "What is an old woman like you doing in this forest?" She had her hair in a tight bun and wore a bright and colorful sleeveless dress with flowers which exposed her

unsightly legs and arms. Zoro internally gagged. It was hot, but once someone gets that old, there's a limit to how much skin they should show! The woman smiled at him and

then proceeded to walk away. "H-Hey! Where are you going?! Answer me!" Zoro chased after her. Zoro didn't realize at first, but damn that old hag sure could walk fast, even

though she used a cane. Soon enough, they reached a small open shop. The woman stood behind it and smiled once more. "Welcome young man!" she finally spoke up. Zoro

was utterly confused by what was going on. First he was outrun by an old woman and next she was trying to sell him something in the middle of a deserted island. "What's the

deal here?" he asked. The old woman crouched down to look for something. "Hey…I'm not interested in buying anything! Besides I don't have any money on me right now…"

Nami rarely allowed anyone to hold any money. She was in charge of their funds and "debts". "Hey! Are you listening?!" Zoro grew impatient. What the hell was she looking for?

He heard a loud "crack" as the lady rose up. "Aaaaahhhh! My back!" The woman shouted as she held her lower back. Zoro was about to walk away when she called out to him.

"H-Hold it right there, sonny!" she extended her arm as she did so. "I told you I'm not buying anything!" Zoro whipped his head back. The woman put set a mysterious box on

the stand, "Since you've been my first customer in a while, I'll give you a discount…..I'll give this box to you for FREE!" The woman smiled at him again. "What kind of

discount….wait how long have you been here?" Zoro thought this was too suspicious. "There are many things that youngins like you shouldn't ask an old woman as myself!

Such as our age, measurements, or why we're selling things in the middle of deserted islands! Now do you want to take this opportunity to take the box or not?!" The woman

smacked the table as she scolded him. Zoro gave her a repulsed look. Who the hell would ask for her measurements?! "Fine! I'll take your damn box. I must say, though, you

sure run a lousy business here, lady. Why sell here of all places?" Zoro took the box and held it under his arm. "You ask too many questions! An attractive woman such as

myself cannot open shop just anywhere! Anyway, it's been a pleasure doing business with you, sonny boy!" the woman waved at him and he left. Zoro rushed out of there

after he heard the word "attractive". "That crazy old hag, ugh!"

"WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!" Sanji yelled at Zoro once he found him. Zoro paused, but said nothing. There's no way he'd tell Sanji he just met a crazy old hag selling

crap in the forest. He'd either laugh at him or call him crazy. Sanji saw the box under Zoro's arm and gave him a look. "What's that?" Zoro wasn't sure how to answer. "I don't

know, I haven't opened it yet." He started to walk past Sanji, but Sanji grabbed him by the shoulder. "Wait damn it! I've been running around, looking everywhere for you!

Don't get yourself lost again!" Zoro pulled his shoulder from his grasp. "I wasn't lost! You're the one that got left behind!" Sanji stomped the ground in irritation, "You know

damn well, you can't even walk on a straight path without getting lost! You're so lucky Nami-san cares enough about you to make me your chaperone, you shitty moss head!"

Zoro turned back to look at him, "Shut up, pervy cook! That was only ONE fucking time!" Sanji smirked. Zoro's face clearly showed that he was embarrassed and enraged. His

cheeks blushed slightly and his brow was furrowed. Sanji could read him like an open book.

The two were so far into the forest that it would take them quite some time until they reached the boat. Now that Sanji had found Zoro, he still couldn't get him out of his

mind. What the hell was he hiding in that box and why won't he show me?! Zoro was holding the box under his arms tightly, there was no way he could just sneak up on him

and take it. "Hey…how about we take a break?" Zoro stopped in his tracks and asked Sanji. "H-Huh? Why?" Sanji could barely understand why the other would suggest this. He

hadn't realized that he was so concerned about Zoro's new find that he had actually slowed down enough to worry the swordsman. Zoro was beginning to think that all that

running around must've gotten to him. "We've been out here for a while; why not take a quick break?" Zoro went to sit down under a nearby tree. Sanji agreed, but he was

frustrated and walked off to cool down his head. What was he doing? Letting the idiot moss head worry about him? Zoro saw Sanji leave, but didn't think anything of it. He

just basked in the cool shade from the tree. A few moments passed and he suddenly had the urge to eat something. He looked at the box sitting next to him and got an idea.

What if there was food in there? If there wasn't, then hopefully there would be something interesting enough to get his mind off of this hunger. The box was a dingy old thing

which was wrapped with a few ropes. He took it and started unwrapping it. The ropes weren't tight and so he had no difficulty. When he opened the box he discovered a fruit.

The fruit was unlike the ones they had found in the trees earlier. It had peculiar markings on it. Despite having been in that box, the fruit looked quite tasty and juicy. He

hesitated for a few moments, but then took a bite. True to its appearance, the fruit was very delicious. Almost as if he was in a trance, Zoro wolfed it down. He didn't know

why he was so desperate to eat it, but he couldn't help himself. After the first bite his body demanded more. His voracious appetite subsided as soon as all of the fruit was

gone. It was as if a spell was broken. Zoro leaned back on the tree and relaxed once more. He was full, but now he was hot. Was the island always this scorching? He held

onto his chest as he seemed to gasp for air.

"Hey! Get up, the ladies are waiting for us to get back to the sh…HEY!" Sanji came back from his little detour to find Zoro in critical condition. He ran over to him.

"What happened?!"

Zoro could barely answer. "….It's….urg…h-hot…"

The island was hot, but Zoro was sweating too much. Sanji looked at the opened box and figured the idiot probably did this to himself. "What the hell was in that box?" He

helped Zoro get up. Zoro could barely remain standing and just kept leaning on the tree.

"Hey…you look like you're dying, it's not that hot, right? We've been to Alabasta before, this is nothing compared to back then."

"Wa…water…!" Zoro gasped out in pain.

"Tch!" Sanji supported Zoro on his shoulder as he helped him walk out of the forest. They needed to get to the shore and back to the ship quickly. Despite not liking to worry

about him and knowing that Zoro could very well take care of himself as he has proven during many battles, Sanji still feared that the worse had yet to come if he didn't get

Zoro out of here. Zoro felt heavy and lifeless as Sanji held him up. With each breath he exhaled it was as if his life energy was somehow escaping his body. "H-Hey, don't

black out on me, idiot moss-head! We're almost back to the ship!" Sanji didn't like to see him like this. Zoro was never like this, not even when he was sleeping—or when he

was exhausted after a battle. Zoro was never this lethargic. When they reached the shore Sanji called out to Chopper immediately as he dragged Zoro onto the ship. Sanji

heard the little pitter-patter from when he came running. Chopper noticed Zoro's conditioned and used his heavy point to carry him to his infirmary. Everyone else on deck

were full of questions.

"Sanji,what happened?!"

"Did you get attacked by an enemy?!"

"I hope it's nothing too serious…"

"Is Zoro alright?! What happened?! Oh I knew you guys shouldn't have gone out there! You got attacked didn't you?! What if they come for us next?!Aw man, they got Zoro!

It's all over!"

Sanji felt like a wave irritation overcome him. He was worried just as much as they were and now was not the time for them to crowd all over him. "I don't know!" he burst

out. "He got lost like a big idiot and then came back with this mysterious box! He probably ate something weird and now he's just….he's just…I don't know, alright!" Sanji

stormed off and went in the kitchen. No one would bother him there. Plus he'd have some time to cool off. He lighted a cigarette along the way and blew out large puffs. The

rest of the crew had understood how Sanji felt. Although he seemed to hate Zoro, they shared a special bond. Seeing Zoro become so weak, without him understanding why,

must have scared him. They waited outside the door to the infirmary and gave things a chance to calm down.

Chopper must have spent the rest of the entire day in the infirmary. Sanji had managed to make dinner, but no one was in the mood for it—not even Luffy. Things felt empty

without their swordsman, even though he rarely spoke a word and only trained or sleep for most of the day. Sanji decided to bring Chopper's dinner to him when he hadn't

come out to join them. This must be some kind of bad news. With the plate in one hand, he stood in front of the door. He was afraid to go inside and see Zoro in worse shape

than he was earlier. This was too weird. Worrying over Zoro was something Sanji never thought he'd have to do.

Chopper suddenly opened the door. "Sanji! What are you doing here?" He seemed to be in high spirits, perhaps Zoro wasn't in rough shape after all. Sanji sighed in relief, "You

didn't show up at dinner, so I thought I'd bring you your meal." Chopper allowed him in. The first thing Sanji did was look for Zoro. He was peacefully lying in bed. He set the

plate down on Chopper's desk and was about to leave until the little reindeer made a comment.

"I know you're worried. He's doing fine. The only problem now is that he won't wake up." Sanji turned to look at him, "Don't make me sound like his mother! I'm not that worried

about the idiot." Chopper smiled and played along with Sanji's denial. "Alright, well thanks for coming, Sanji!" Sanji left while waving at Chopper with the back of his hand.

"Wait!" Chopper had called out to him. "Will you stay and keep watch over him tonight?"

Sanji stopped and swung himself around to look at him. "Why the hell do I have to babysit him again?!" Sanji's loud volume made Chopper flinch. Sanji realized this and calmed

down. "Sorry…" He knew that Chopper was probably exhausted after today. He probably just wanted to go to rest, but couldn't think about leaving Zoro alone. "Alright. It's

just for tonight, right?" Chopper cheered, "You'll really do it?! Thank you, Sanji!" Sanji grinned, chopper was like a little kid sometimes. "Yeah, yeah. Now get going before I

change my mind." He sat down in one of the seats next to Zoro's bed while Chopper did as he was told and fled the scene along with his food.

Long moments of silence passed. The ship was completely silent; all Sanji could hear was the faint breathing sounds that came out of Zoro. The rest of the crew had decided

to call it a night. Worrying themselves sick would do them no good. Sanji moved from his chair to Zoro's bed. He rested his head and arms on it as he listened. He couldn't help

but blame himself as he drifted off to sleep. "...I shouldn't have lost him…. I…. should've put a leash on that idiot moss head!"

The next morning, Sanji abruptly woke up. He noticed that a certain pair of eyes was giving him an incredulous look. Sanji was pleased to see that Zoro wasn't dead, but this

was an awkward situation to be in. "Shit-cook…what are you doing….?" Zoro was still a little too groggy from having slept so much and Sanji was too embarrassed before to

notice that a significant change had occurred. Sanji couldn't bear to look at Zoro in the eyes so his eyes wondered off elsewhere. He looked away until something had caught

his attention. Zoro on the other hand was observing him and followed his eyes. Sanji sat there as if he was mortified. What the hell had made him look like that? Once Zoro's

gaze landed on whatever Sanji was looking it, he froze immediately. Moments passed and the two men looked more like crumbling statues than anything.

"W-W-What a s-sick j-j-j-oke….!" Zoro mumbled out.

"I-I could s-say the same to y-you!" Sanji responded.

"What the hell do you mean by that, you bastard?! You're the one who put a fish under my covers!" Zoro grabbed Sanji by the collar. "Huhhh?! You're the one trying to be

funny, shitty moss-head!" Sanji pushed Zoro away and grabbed the bed covers. He yanked them off and revealed an astonishing sight. Zoro's legs were gone! The two men

screamed loud enough for everyone else in the crew to hear.

The rest of the crew burst through the door.

"What happened?!"

"Zoro! Sanji! Are you alright?!"

"Aaahh! Where is this blinding light coming from?! "

The light came from the new set of radiant emerald scales that now replaced Zoro's legs. It took a while for this to register into everyone's heads, but Zoro had a fish tail?!

Now the entire crew (except Robin) cried in horror.

Chopper ran over to Zoro's bed, "Zoro does it hurt?!"

"N-No…"

Unlike everyone else, Luffy was more amazed than anything. "Awsome! Hey, can you move?!" Everyone stared at Zoro as if he had come from another world. "Tch! Stop

staring!" Sanji had given Zoro some space as he shifted himself to the edge of the side of the bed. "See? I may not have legs right now, but I'm no handicap!"

"Hmmm…" Robin thought aloud. Everyone turned their attention to what she was about to say. "What?" Zoro asked as he shot her a glare. "Well…you said you don't have legs

'right now'. Who is to say that you'll get them back?" Robin talked in a stoic manner. "What the hell are you talking about?! Of course I'll get them back! I can't stay like this

forever, right Chopper?!"

"Ah..I don't know….I'll have to run some tests on you, Zoro!"

Zoro sighed greatly and slumped back into the bed. "I can't believe this is happening…"

"Hey, Zoro! Are you alright?!" Chopper climbed on top of the bed to go and check his pulse. "This is bad! His pulse is really weak! Zoro!"

"What could it be?!"

"Hang in there, Zoro!"

The crew panicked so much that they couldn't hear what Zoro was saying.

"W-Wa…." Zoro barely got out.

"Wait, what? What is it Zoro?!"

"Get me some damn water!"

After an entire morning full of scrambling, there was finally a solution to Zoro's problem. The moment Zoro had requested some water, Luffy sprang into action and wrapped his

stretched arms around Zoro and threw him into the fish tank under deck. The crew then ran under deck to see what would happen. Zoro was slowly sinking to the bottom of

the tank. "Sanji, you said Zoro ate something weird?" Nami asked. "Yeah," Sanji wasn't sure where she was going with this, but after a few seconds it all clicked into

everyone's minds. "You don't think he ate a devil fruit, right?!" Their panic escalated as Zoro continued to sink motionless. Zoro had passed out earlier from dehydration, but

was soon coming to his senses. "Where am I?" He was lying at the bottom of the tank now. "Am I under water?! Damn! This is not what I meant, when I said I needed water!

Luffy, that idiot!" He started to flail around in the water until he realized he wasn't drowning. Not only that, but he could he sounds…talking? He sat up and stared straight into

the direction of his crewmates.

"Wow! Zoro you can breathe under water!" Luffy was even more amazed.

"Isn't he….a mermaid now?!" Usopp exclaimed. Zoro blushed as he heard this. "Don't be ridiculous! He yelled, but the other couldn't hear him since he was in the tank. All they

saw was an angry Zoro. "Hehehe, I don't think he liked that," Robin said in amusement. Sanji was rendered speechless throughout the entire situation. First the stupid moss-

head gave him the scare of his life and now he's a mermaid?! "The correct term would be merman, right?" Nami spoke up. Zoro sighed. He had given up with convincing them to

let it go. Once they had an idea, it was hard to make them change their minds. He wasn't surprised by most of the crew's reaction, but he was surprised with a certain cook's

lack of reaction. He'd think Sanji would be the first one to make snarky comments about his current predicament. Sanji had turned his back from all the commotion. All of this

was too much for him in the morning. Robin looked at him in the corner of her eye, but made no comment. "Hey, Zoro! Can you do it?!" Luffy had asked Zoro something, but

Zoro hadn't listened. "D-Do what, Luffy?" He had a bad feeling about what would come next. "Can you swim?! With that tail of yours?!" Luffy exclaimed with absolute curiosity.

Usopp and Chopper were eager as well. Zoro couldn't ignore his request. Luffy had told him to swim and added "Captain's order!" at the end. Zoro looked down at his tail and

wondered how it worked. Did he have to swish it around? Side by side? He figured he'd get it to work once he got his arms moving. He started to propel himself up with his

arms and suddenly his tail gave a little swish. Zoro was surprised, but not as excited as the others who paid close attention to him. "Ohhhhhhhhh!" He heard them exclaim in

absolute awe. Soon enough Zoro swam all the way to the top of the tank, right under the door which led to the deck. He swam back down, but lost a little control and started

twirling down. "He's doing tricks for us!" Zoro cursed himself for not being used to swimming with his tail. He regained his composure and swam one last lap around the tank.

When he settled down, he was blinded by the light which came from his spectators' eyes. "Zoro that was awesome! Do it again!" Zoro wanted to yell at them, but he knew

they wouldn't understand him. "Alright, Alright. Let's leave him alone for now, guys." Nami ordered the rest of the crew out. Zoro thought he could finally relax when he noticed

someone was still here. Off in a far corner…was that Sanji? Sanji had been watching Zoro when he swam. He didn't know why he was, but he guessed that the others'

excitement affected him. Sanji was now observing Zoro. His tail swayed slightly along with his hair. The lighting played various tricks on the hundreds of scales that were now

part of him. Sanji could have stayed there the entire day if he wasn't put off by the weird look Zoro was giving him. Zoro gave him a perplexed look. What was Sanji doing

here? Sanji decided it had seen enough and went up to join the rest of the crew. Zoro didn't understand what was going on in that head of his. First he practically avoided

looking at him for most of the time and now he was lost in deep thought as he watched him? Was the cook insane? Zoro put this behind him for now and finally relaxed. He

quickly drifted off to sleep.

"Zoro! Zoroooo!" Luffy called out to him from the deck. Zoro had managed to get a few hours of sleep, but he was still upset that his slumber had been cut short. He swam to

the top of the tank and noticed Luffy was poking his head through the water. "Idiot! This is seawater!" Zoro scolded his captain as he breached. Luffy was a little woozy, but

quickly regained his senses. "Zoro, Zoro, we have something for you!" Luffy cheered. "Wha-?" Zoro didn't have time to finish his question when Luffy had stretched his arms

around him and completely pulled him out of the water. Zoro blushed wildly with embarrassment. It wasn't the first time Luffy had grabbed him, but being pulled out of the

water in his current state was very odd. "Luffy! Put me down!" Zoro was so upset that his tail flapped around. Luffy wouldn't listen though and dragged him across Thousand

Sunny's deck until they reached their destination. "Ow! The guest of honor has finally arrived!" they were greeted by Franky who was standing next to something. Zoro

couldn't see what it was because it was kept hidden by some cloth. "Franky! What are you guys up to?!" Zoro felt a vein pop out on his forehead.

"The great me has created another masterpiece which you'll enjoy!"

"I'm not interested in seeing any more of your mechas!"

"Trust us, Zoro! You'll love it!" Luffy smiled brightly. Zoro sighed in defeat. "Without further ado!" Franky lifted the cloth and revealed a large pool. The pool was about 5 ft in

height and 9 ft wide. It was enough space for Zoro to be comfortable in. It was also connected to the fish tank below deck with a tube which he could swim through and

there was a ladder which meant that others could join in as well. "We thought you might be lonely with having to stay down in the fish tank all day long. Now you can get on

deck, too!" Luffy explained. "The SUPER me decided to whip up something to fix that!" They both smiled at Zoro. Zoro was touched by their sudden act. He felt bad for having

yelled at them earlier. "Thanks guys," Zoro was bashful, but the two were content with his reaction. "Well why don't you try it out?" Franky motioned to Luffy to put Zoro in

the pool. When Zoro went in, he felt the fresh water on his skin and scales. "It's full of fresh water instead of seawater. We thought all that seawater wouldn't do your skin

any good." Zoro was happy to know some of his crewmates really cared for him. He thought it was ironic though that the one guy who was with him throughout this entire

accident could barely bother to look him in the eyes earlier. Did he feel bad? Was he disgusted or what? Luffy noticed Zoro was lost in his thoughts by now and decided to

brighten the mood. "Zoro let's play!" Luffy shouted with glee as he jumped into the pool. Franky laughed as he left to go work on other things. "Luffy! Stop splashing the water

around!"

Sanji retreated to the kitchen—where he could think freely without anyone disrupting his thoughts. He really had a lot of things to figure out. He couldn't stop thinking about

Zoro. At first he thought it was only because he was in a state of panic, but now that there was nothing to worry about, why couldn't he get him out of his mind? He kept

thinking about those emerald scales, that tail…the torso attached to it…those muscles flexing as he swam…and those lips which became pursed when he had been found out.

Sanji was in such a trance that he hadn't realized how red his face had gotten despite the fact that his hands kept working on whatever he was cooking. Maybe he was sick,

too. He decided to walk outside for a bit. Once he did he let out a sigh. Robin was nearby and had heard him. "Cook-san, what's wrong?" She was asking more out of curiosity

than worry. She noted that he wasn't acting like his usual self and this interested her. "It's nothing, Robin-chwan. Just a little tired, I guess." Robin smiled. "Are you sure that

it's just fatigue? Your eyes seemed to have been fixated on someone earlier." Sanji was a little surprised. How long was she watching him? Had anyone else noticed? "N-No, it's

really no-" "Someone like Zoro." She interrupted him. Sanji could no longer deny, she had seen him watch Zoro. "Robin-chwan, I was just wondering how to cook him if it turns

out that he's become useless now that he's like this." Robin was surprised, but amused by his answer. "Oh? You plan on cooking him? On eating him?" Even though this was the

lie Sanji came up with, there was no way he'd ever act upon it. "Y-Yes," he simply replied. Robin noticed how uneasy he felt and decided to leave him be. Once she was gone,

Sanji let out another sigh. He took out a cigarette and started smoking. While he was finally starting to relax, a certain someone, not too far away from where he was, felt

uneasy. Zoro had heard the entire conversation. That bastard planned on cooking him?

Sanji had finished preparing dinner and started to call out to everyone. Everyone was present except for Zoro. "Don't you think he's a little lonely out there?" Usopp asked with

a worried expression. "It can't be helped, we can't bring the pool in here, you know." Nami said, despite the fact she was just as worried about him. "Sanji, make sure to bring

him his dinner later on, ok?" Sanji admired how thoughtful Nami was sometimes. "Yes~ Nami-swan~" After their meal, the crew went off to their rooms to sleep. As the ship

turned into complete silence, Sanji felt anxious. Soon it would only be him and Zoro. There would be nowhere else to hide or no one else to distract their attention off of each

other. When he walked out of the kitchen with Zoro's meal, he was greeted with the sight of a sleeping merman. Zoro rested his head on folded arms which lied on the edge of

the pool. As he approached him, Zoro remained asleep. His tail, which was fully extended, swayed in the water in slow movements. With each motion, the moonlight played

wonderful tricks on his beautiful scales. Sanji was once again in a trance and continued to approach him until he had set the plate down on one of the pool's stairs and was

leaning down and looking at him. Only a few centimeters away, Sanji was dangerously close to Zoro's lips. His heart was racing and his mind wasn't quite clear, but Sanji knew

that he would not regret what would happen next. He closed the gap between them and kissed Zoro.
