Pairing: Sanji/Zoro Smoker/Ace Usopp/Kaya Franky/Robin
Another Chapter! This is what happens when it rains the whole day. I hope you enjoy
"You're late again, and on the day of the match no less."
Zoro rubbed his head, trying to get Nami's pestering voice out from his aching head. Chopper trailed behind with a small toy in his hand. "Sorry Nami-san. Zoro and I went to get something to eat. He bought me Pizza!"
Nami huffed, taking forcefully the drink Zoro had on his hand. Zoro made a noise of protest, but Nami glared at him as she took a sip. "Fine, but hurry up. You're already late and you need to change so they can weigh you in."
"Alright." Zoro said in an annoyed tone. Noticing Chopper follow after Zoro, Nami called him to her side. "Chopper, stay with me until Zoro gets ready." With an obvious disappointed pout, Chopper left Zoro's side and went to Nami.
"I thought you weren't going to show." Smoker joked, placing his arm around Zoro's neck as they went to the back rooms. "Nami was fuming until she saw you."
"I'm not that late." Shuffling out of Smokers grip, he started to take off his shirt. "Do you know who you're up against?"
"Yeah, some guy called Blueno. And you are against Morgan."
Zoro smirked. "Ready to take them out?"
Locking forearms, Smoker grinned back. "You know I'm always ready."

"Your blood pressure is high. I don't want you to fight."
"It's just a little high, Nami. Stop worrying."
Nami placed both her hands on her hips, looking down at Zoro who was seated on the floor. "You asked them to check your blood, because you knew something was wrong! And it's not a "little high" I think you should sit this one out. You have a next match this week. So it's not like your not going to fight!"
Zoro stood up from sitting on the floor. A blush washing over Nami's face as her eyes went over Zoro's exposed chest and abs. "You're going to worry Chopper. I only asked for a blood test because I've had this headache this week that won't seem to leave me alone. But I'm fine."
The ginger hair girl pouted. She didn't like seeing her friends hurt. Especially Zoro, she cared for him. Though, Zoro doesn't seem to share the same feelings. If he only knew the only reason she acted like she did was because she had a crush on him. He is so hard to get close to, and the only way she could talk and interact with him is hiding behind a commanding approach.
"NAMIIII!"
"Luffy?"Nami recognized the voice instantly. Turning around, Luffy slammed into her small body, wrapping his hands around her. Nami frowned. "Luffy get off me."
"Long time no see." The younger boy said happily. "I'm not late, am I?"
With a firm tug, Nami peeled Luffy off her. "No."
"Luffy!" Chopper squeals when he saw the raven hair boy. The small kid made his way to Luffy, holding the older boy's hand. "I want to go to the bleachers so I can be there before Smoker and Zoro fight."
With a nod, Luffy waved at Nami as he left with Chopper.
A man with a blue shirt stepped from behind the curtain. "Morgan and Roronoa." The man called. The two men who were called stepped forward. "You are next, get ready." With that said, the man turned on his heel and left.
"Zoro." Nami called. The green hair boxer turned to look at her. "I can still cancel the match." She said with pleading eyes. Hoping he would, for once, listen to her. But the smirk that worked its way to Zoro's lips told her otherwise.
"Stop worrying so much. I don't need it." Nami averted her eyes and frowned. She knew she couldn't talk him out of this. Zoro loved to fight.
Ace strolled next to the two, red gloves on his hands. "Let's get these on." Taking Zoro hands, Ace stared wrapping them with a white band.
"How many rounds?"
Ace smirked as he finished. "Give him two. You can make it a knockout if you want…"
"You normally let them have four. Want to show off?"
Ace smiled. "You do have a next match this week. Hyping it up, that's all?"

Zoro closed his eyes, hearing the cheering outside and the announcing. The boxer took a deep breath as he opened his eyes, lights decorating the path to the ring. "We have, weighing in at 184, Roronoa Zoro." Lifting his hands and with a light jog, Zoro made his appearance. The crowd showing their love with cheers and shouts.
Fighting against Roronoa, we have Morgan, weighing in at 196"
A man with blonde hair and a broad chest stepped out. Taking a lazy walk as he reached the ring. Morgan stepped into the ring. Before the two boxers knew it, the bell for the match sounded.
Morgan came in with a strong right jab, missing as Zoro ducked out of the way. With another fist Morgan tried again, this time catching him on his left side. Zoro grunted, but kept a firm stance. Swing a left, Morgan missed as Zoro dodged again.
"Come on Zoro-senpai!" Chopper cheered. Nami, seated next to Chopper and Luffy was biting her nails. She didn't want Zoro to get hurt. Ace was on the sidelines of the arena, with a smile on his face.
"Come on Zoro, fight back." Nami whispered. "I hate to see you fight. I don't want you to get hurt."
"Looks like Morgan have Roronoa on the defensive. Not even one offensive attack from him yet. If this continues like this, Morgan will have an easy win!"
Ding ding ding-the bell rang
Both Zoro and Morgan retreated to their said of the ring.
Helmeppo watered Morgan. "You're doing great. Just keep him on the corner and on the defensive like you're doing."Morgan laughed. "The small brat is probably scared of me. Once I beat him, I can move to Heavyweight again."
Ding ding ding
And round two starts. If Roronoa continues how he is doing, he will surely lose. However, this match is still in the beginning. Who knows if Roronoa turns the tables.
Zoro knocked both his gloved hands as he went to the middle of the ring. Morgan with a smug grin on his face brought up his gloves, making his way to Zoro.
"If you give up now, I might let you go. What do you say?"
"I think you're full of yourself."
With a strong right Morgan aimed for Zoro, expecting the boxer to block it. Instead, Zoro took the full force of it on his abdomen. Zoro felt an electricity run through his body, he only felt that electricity while fighting. A grin crossed his lips. "You were never in my league to begin with." Generating power from the ground up, and shifting his body weight to his left foot, allowing him to pivot his right foot and bringing power to his full torso and shoulder, swinging his left fist horizontally toward the opponent with a left hook, Morgan didn't see coming, Zoro hit him square in the face.
Morgan could feel as the bones and muscles in his jaw rip and twist from the impact. Reeling back Morgan tried to keep his balance, but he just couldn't. His body swayed a few times, as he legs failed to support him. With a thud, Morgan fell on his back.
The place became quiet when the audience witness what had happened. Instantly the referee ran towards Morgan, directing Zoro to stand by the ring corner. The referee raised his hands…signalling Morgan was out.
"…"
"We have a Winner! Even against all odds, he has come out victorious! Who would have thought it would have only taken one hit to knock Morgan?!
The referee raised Zoro's hand. "The victor, Roronoa Zoro!" The crowd exploded with cheers and applause. "Go, Zoro-senpai!" Zoro smirked when hearing Choppers voice from the crowd.

Smoker ducked as he narrowly missed Blueno heavy punch. Already into their fifth round, both boxers were starting to feel fatigue take their bodies. Once again Blueno gave another right punch, this time connecting with Smoker. Smoker stepped back to get some distance. Gritting his teeth, Smoker aimed a punch, which Blueno evaded, however, with his left Smoker was able to hit him, pushing Blueno to the ropes and raining jabs on him.
Blueno was able to hutch down and get out of the corner Smoker had him pinned. Panting and now feeling the blows aching on his body Blueno fell on one knee, not being able to stand up. The referee raised his hands, signaling the match was over, Blueno having fallen two times before.
Ace jumped into the ring, a smile on his face. Smoker grabbed him by the waist and spun. "You won Smoker!"
/
"We should celebrate you guy's victory, right Ace?" Luffy cheered.
Ace nodded. "You two fought amazingly. I do think a celebration is needed." The freckle teen ruffled his boyfriend's hair, having easy access because he was on Smokers strong back.
"Zoro-senpai was so awesome!" Chopper squeal with delight, riding on Zoro's shoulders.
"I guess we can have a small party." Nami commented. She had a puzzled face, most likely thinking of all the money that would be used to feed Luffy.
The party was held at Aces place. Smoker and Ace stayed together, however, sometime during the party the two retreated to their rooms. Nami and Zoro had a drinking competition, in which Nami won after Zoro fell asleep. Chopper and Luffy played together until they too fell asleep.
Nami sighed as she took the glass from Zoro, who was lying on the couch on his back, and drank what was left in it. Standing from the couch she went to Chopper and picked him up and placed him next to Zoro. She smiled when Chopper murmured "You're the best Zoro-senpai."
"Yes he is." Slowly she leaned over Zoro's sleeping body and lightly kissed his cheek. Brushing her hand over Choppers brown hair, she too gave him a kiss. She left the boys as she stepped out to go home.
/
"Zoro-senpai, you need to get up. I have to go home." The boxer slowly opened his eyes, his head rebelling against him as it throbbed with an unbearable sharp pain.
"Chopper? Give me a few minutes." Zoro said, closing his eyes again.
"Grandma called. She sounded mad."
Zoro cracked an eye open. Zoro opened his mouth. "I didn't call her did I?" Chopper shook his head. "Great." The green hair teen sat up, "Wash up, I'll carry you to get something to eat before carrying you home."
A smile crossed Choppers lips. "Yeah, I'm eating breakfast out!" Zoro groan as he rubbed his head with the palm of his hand. I never felt like this after a match. I need to work out more.
Zoro dropped off Chopper after eating something, apologizing to Kureha for not calling and informing her Chopper was sleeping over. With new bruises, Zoro reached into his house, and immediately started to work out. He couldn't let his body get weak.

"Watch out!" Usopp warned as he lost his balance with the dishes on his hand. A blonde blur passed Usopp and caught the items, the two plates he was carrying already on his hands, one of Usopp's plates balanced on his arm and the other on his thigh.
"Thank you yellow blur!"
"I'm not a blur" Sanji corrected, growing shark like teeth. "Be careful next time." Sanji warned, bouncing the plate from his hand onto Usopp's waiting hands. Usopp grabbed the other that was on Sanji's leg.
"Thank you Sanji. I don't know what I would have done, if they had fallen."
"Tsk. Just get them to the costumer." With a nod, Usopp made his leave. Sanji sighed, as he placed the plates he was holding on the counter, so when Usopp returned could pick them up and deliver them.
"Good thing it wasn't Zeff, huh?" Sanji smiled, while looking at the tall musician.
"Zeff would have had his head. Like he did with me when I was young."
Brooks made a sound at the back of his throat. "I'm surprised you didn't say or do anything. How will you teach your children when the time comes? I mean…if you're planning to settle down."
A blush took Sanji's cheeks. "Brooks?" The tall man laughed, swinging his hand around Sanji. He pushed Brooks's skinny hand off him. "Stop laughing!" Sanji knew Brooks was teasing him. He had known Brooks since as long as he could remember, and now they were a close as brothers, even if the man was at least twenty years older than him.
Brooks turned serious. His dark eyes going to the blondes blue eye. "Sanji… you are always helping others, but when will you help yourself and make yourself happy?"
"I am happy!" Sanji said, throwing in a smile for good measure. Brooks raised an eyebrow.
"Just think about it…."
"Ghaaaa!" Sanji screamed as he walked back from work over the bridge. "Curse you Brooks, now all I can think about is what you said!" Sanji made his hand into a fist. Fine, the first person I see I will ask on a date.
Seeing someone walking Sanji's eyes widen slowly. All he could see was the shadow of the person, and whoever it was had a nice body. Slowly the person walking started to make their face known.
Sanji reeled when he saw an old lady. The old lady who was close to Sanji glared at him. "What? You never saw a beautiful lady as myself?"
"No way am I dating that!" Sanji screamed as he ran away, passing a small child as he did so.
Chopper glanced back as he watched a blonde man run as if saw the devil. "Kureha, what happened to that man?"
"He saw how gorgeous I was. Now hurry up Chopper, I haven't finished beating that gruff of a teen. He won't get away this time."
