"You and he what?!" came the swordsman's cry from up in the crow's nest. The crew, minus Zoro and Nami, was currently huddled around the base of the mast, struggling to hear what was going on in the crow's nest.

Zoro was currently standing in the centre of the room, staring at the seated Nami incredulously. "Please tell me this is a joke," he begged, the pain he was feeling clear on his face.

"I'm sorry, Zoro," she choked out as tears streamed down her face, "but I'm telling you the truth." She stood up and reached out towards Zoro, but he pulled back from her touch.

"Who else knows?" he asked, a look he usually reserved for his enemies on his face.

"Just me, Law and the rest of the crew," she said, her voice barely more than a whisper. "I really am sorry, Zoro," she apologised to him.

"You're telling me the rest of the crew knew you where fucking some other guy and I didn't?" he screamed at her the composure he was so well known for all but gone. "This has to be some sort of joke," he muttered to himself as water that looked suspiciously like tears formed in the corners of his eyes.

Nami opened her mouth to reply to him but, with a yell of rage, Zoro jumped out of the crow's nest before she could. Zoro's landing was softened by the bodies of his crew members who where still stood around the mast. Before any of them could say something to the swordsman, he grabbed Sanji by the throat and held him against the mast.

"how long?" Zoro asked the cook with a snarl. "What?" Sanji gasped. "How long have you known?" he screamed, his face now simply a picture of betrayal.

"Nami told us around one month ago, swordsman-san," came Robin's voice from behind him. "You knew for a whole month?" he choked out, the tears finally beginning to stream from his eyes.

"Zoro what's the matter?" Luffy asked, "they just had a sleepover." At this the entire crew just stared at Luffy with dumbfounded expressions on their faces.

The only sound that could be heard across the entire deck was the sound of Zoro drawing one of his swords, a demonic aura surrounding him.

"Zoro?" Luffy asked, confused by the man's actions. Zoro lunged at Luffy, dropping his sword just in time to replace it with a haki-coated fist that hit Luffy in the face. The punch sent Luffy flying back and crashing into the kitchen door. Without saying anything else, Zoro sheathed his sword and disappeared below deck.

"Well," said Robin as she moved towards the unconscious form of Luffy, "that could have gone better." Franky simply sighed "that's the most un-super understatement of the age," he said, the frown on his face mirroring the one on Robin's.

"I'll go up and check on Nami," Sanji told them and turned towards the mast, muttering something about how he hadn't expected the stupid marimo to get so upset.

When he got up to the crow's nest, Sanji found Nami curled up in the corner sobbing into her knees. "Are you okay name-swan?" he asked, knowing full well what her answer would be. "It's all my fault Sanji," she cried, hers tears dropping onto her knees.

Sanji wanted to stand there and tell her that it wasn't, but he couldn't bring himself to. He had been the one who had helped the idiotic marimo to confess to her after all, he knew how much she meant to him and he knew how new that type of relationship was to Zoro. In short, he knew just how much what she had done had affected him.

Nami was looking up at him now with a face that was just begging him to tell her she was wrong, but Sanji just couldn't bring himself to say it. "He was more hurt by the fact that all of us knew and didn't tell him," Sanji told her, hoping it would, in some way, comfort her.

"And who told you not to tell him?" she asked bitterly, her eyes red and puffy from the crying. "Where'd Zoro go?" she asked him.

"Well he punched Luffy and then started crying and ran below deck, he answered her.

"below deck?" she cried, worry replacing the look of guilt on her face. "What's wrong with that?" Sanji asked her, confused by how worried she looked.

"What if he runs into Law?" she cried, already scrambling towards the trap door. Now realising what the problem was, Sanji let out a string of curses and followed close behind her.

No sooner had Sanji's feet touched the deck then the entire crew, minus Luffy who was still unconscious , all felt Zoro's demonic aura resonating from below deck. "Oh shit," Sanji muttered before he ran towards the stairs.

Sanji found Zoro and Law in the Sunny's docking station. Law was looking incredibly awkward while, between his glare and the killing intent rolling off of him in waves, it was obvious that Zoro was ready to kill the man.

"Zoro, you need to calm down," said Sanji as he stepped in between the two. He was going to say more but the look in his eyes made Sanji freeze completely. It was a look that, of all people, Sanji had never expected to see in Zoro's eyes. The man who was going to be the world's greatest swordsman and just refused to die looked completely and utterly defeated. Zoro stared at Sanji for what felt like hours but was only around a minute and then the demonic aura that surrounded Zoro gradually subsided.

As tears started to form in the corner of Zoro's puffy eyes, Sanji cursed his decision to get Zoro to calm down. He could deal with angry Zoro, he couldn't deal with broken Zoro.

"Law I think you should go up to the others," Sanji snarled him, knowing full well that Law's presence would only serve to anger Zoro more.

"got it, Cook-ya," Law said before he practically ran for the stairs. Sanji was beyond pissed with Law. He wasn't even part of the crew yet he had broken their un-breakable swordsman.

Sanji's train of though was cut of by Zoro's voice, "why didn't you tell me?" he asked. "We wanted to, but Nami felt like she should tell you herself and made us promise to let her do it. We didn't know it would take her a full month to tell you," Sanji told him as guilt started to cloud his face. "Zoro she really is sorry," Sanji tried, hoping to at least soften the pain Zoro was now going through.

"I'm leaving," Zoro said, "I can't find it in myself to trust any of you, not even Luffy." In the minute that it took Sanji to process what Zoro had just said, Zoro had gotten into the mini-merry and started it's engine.

"Wait marimo, stop!" Sanji cried, sprinting towards the mini-merry. "tell the others that I said goodbye, and tell Franky and Usopp that I'm sorry for taking the merry," Zoro told Sanji as the merry started forward.

Sanji could do nought but watch in defeat as Zoro left the docking station and, in doing so, left the crew.
