It was late in the morning when the Thousand Sunny left Flint Island. Akuma had explained to Nami that the next stop would be Onsen Island, which they would sight after four days of travel.

Akuma had fallen asleep on one of the reclining chairs on the deck, near the tangerine plants of the cartographer, whose scent diffused in the air thanks to the light breeze around them. When Sanji called her, she roused herself from sleep. She didn't remember falling asleep.

"Darling, it's almost 1pm, lunch is ready. Are you coming?" he asked her.

She mentally listed every single sheer torture the blonde-haired pirate would suffer if only he dared to call her again by the term 'darling', or other similar epithets. "Mmh." she mumbled, rubbing her eyes. The heart-eyed cook thought she was the sweetest sight he had ever witnessed.

The two entered the kitchen. Silence reigned, and it was far from normality. The boys were eating quietly, eyes lowered on their dishes, while Nami was fuming angrily. Robin was eating calmly, apparently not interested in what was going on around her.

"Have you angered my splendid Nami, haven't you?! I swear I'll skin you alive, I'll kick you to death, you assholes!"

"It's ok, Sanji. Thank you. These idiots tried to eat your portions; and mine, too." she glared angrily at her companions. "Such animals."

It was simply incredible. An apparently weak girl like the navigator was able to stand up to those hotheads. Akuma looked at the people responsible for Nami's pissed-off mood; they were so funny, their heads down, each one mumbling by himself. A punch on each head was enough to quieten them down. Akuma sat down and started eating what the cook had prepared for the girls. She had to admit that she had never eaten such delicacies, not even at Nisa's inn. The redhead suddenly felt the urge to come back as soon as possible; the thought of her friend made her feel quite homesick. She had left a month before, after her friend had given birth to that little creature.

"Musician, play for us!" Luffy ordered, taking her mind off her thoughts. They had already finished eating, so she decided to please him. She went to the bedroom where she had put her stuff and took her guitar.

She joined the others, sat down on a wooden chair and tuned the guitar, then started playing. The tune was lively, her voice was rich and warm. The crew hadn't heard her sing yet, and they all were enraptured by her and the words coming out of her mouth. Singing, whistling, playing, she told stories. Stories about fishermen, kings, assassins, prostitutes, heroes, stories about pirates. Luffy stared at her, enchanted. He was carefully listening to her words, even though she sometimes sang in a language unknown to him. When the girl stopped playing, he paid her enthusiastic compliments, and asked her about her songs.

"I knew the composer." the image of Moses came to her mind, along with their first encounter. Even if she was a child at the time, Akuma was a devil and a true monster. That man's music had the power to calm her down and to make her happy. He had been like a father to her.

"Is he dead?" Usopp interposed, receiving a kick on the head from Sanji for his total lack of tact. "Yeah. Four years ago." Akuma sighed. "That's how life is, though." She looked at the floor, sighed and started playing again, this time a well-known tune, so that the pirates could sing along.


The first day continued uneventful. The new, yet temporary member of the crew attracted many questions; her answers though were always elusive, especially when she was asked about her job. Fortunately, Luffy wanted to listen to music all the time, so Akuma spent the day singing and playing and had not much time to speak about herself. She enjoyed performing for that little group; they were so enthusiastic about her music.

She chatted with everyone. Usopp had also set up a sort of interrogation that really amused her. She was sitting at the kitchen table having a cup of tea after dinner when the boy tentatively entered the room and sat across her, lighting a table lamp he had brought with him and pointing the light in her direction.

"So" he started, "What's your name?" Simple questions first.

Akuma chuckled. "Akuma."

Usopp raised an eyebrow to the girl. "Real name?"

She took a sip of her tea. "Not telling."

"Age?" he asked then, receiving a kick in the face from Sanji. "It's rude to ask a woman about her age!" he yelled, angry.

"24" she replied, calm.

"Job?" Usopp asked, composing himself after falling off the chair, thanks to Sanji.

"Musician… Isn't it the reason I'm here?" The curly-haired boy pressed his lips together, forming a straight line.

"Real job?"

"Nothing interesting." She replied, putting her arm on the table and resting her head on her hand.

"Likes and dislikes?"

Akuma seemed to think about that for a moment, then said, "I like chocolate and animals" sending a brief kiss in Chopper's direction, who ran away to hide himself, to no avail. In the meantime, Sanji offered her a box full of chocolates, which the redhead accepted happily. "I dislike…" she mumbled, while eating one of the chocolates "Let's see… I'd say rain and broccoli". She concluded. "My dear, you'll never have to worry about eating broccoli as long as you're here with us!" Akuma chuckled at the cook's statement. A grunt was heard from the sofa, where Zoro was taking a nap. "Idiot."

"My dear little devil, may I ask you your taste about men?" Sanji asked, ready to become whatever man she'd say she liked. Akuma seemed amused, and felt like playing with him for a bit. A little revenge for his corny nicknames.

"Mmh… I like muscular men, better if tanned, with an unusual hair colour, but definitely not blonde. I'd prefer he knew how to fight, and maybe use a sword or two, someone who is a little rough, and very proud. I like earrings and piercing on men. Oh, and also casual clothes, not suits." She watched as Sanji's mouth opened more and more, until it almost reached the floor: she had practically described his sworn enemy, that idiot marimo.
In the meantime, Zoro was laughing out loud, raising from the sofa and looking at him. "Serves you right, ero-cook!" He chuckled.
"Sorry" She said, winking at Sanji.
"Don't' worry, my sweet Akuma, I still love you…" he replied, tears brimming from his eyes. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I will go and ask Nami-swan and Robin-chan for comfort before going to the lookout post…" that said, he left the room.

Zoro stood up, too, and helped himself with a glass of water. He looked at Akuma, smirking, "I didn't know I made that good impression on you…" he said, amused. "Well, I hope it's mutual." She said as she winked at him, then turned to Usopp.
"So, is my interrogation over?" The boy was still laughing, thinking about Sanji. "Yes, I'd say so." Zoro chuckled. "Then, what did you discover?" he asked, pointing his finger towards the redhead. "Is she to be trusted?" "Well, that I still don't know, but I guess she's fun." Akuma smiled and bowed at Usopp. "Thank you so much for your judgement, then. I'm glad I passed the exam." That said, she waved at the boys.

"Goodnight" Akuma said, as she was walking out of the kitchen. "Want me to join?" asked Zoro, a smirk on his face. The musician was a little taken aback by the swordsman's words, but she just played along. "Maybe next time… My bra doesn't match my panties tonight; I'd never want you to think that I'm shabby." Zoro chuckled while he watched her going out of the room.

"What was that?" asked Usopp, an eyebrow arched. "What?" was Zoro's blunt reply. "I had never seen you flirt... I didn't even think you knew what that meant." He was suspicious… Was that his always-detached friend? Zoro chuckled. "Go to bed, Usopp."
That said, the long-nosed boy went indeed to his room. Zoro was about to leave the kitchen, when he heard a high-pitched voice asking him "What's 'flirting'?" Chopper was still there, 'hiding' behind a chair. "Something you're definitely too young for" was the definition Zoro offered him, before going to bed.


The next day, after getting up, Akuma thought that she couldn't slack off, so she decided to train. She went to the deck and started jogging to warm up. It was quite early, so there was nobody there, apart from Franky. The shipwright was checking the ship to make sure that it was perfect as always. After observing the girl for a few seconds, Franky stopped her.

"Hey, sorry to bother you, but… what is that?" He asked her, pointing to the green headphones of the girl. A wire connected them to a little black box that Akuma had secured to her shorts.

Akuma stopped; she had just started running so she wasn't really bothered. She took off her headphones and gave them to the man. "These are headphones... we use them to listen to music. Try them on." Franky gave her a cold look "I know what headphones are… I meant that" he said, pointing to the black object on her waist. He had never seen something like that. "Well, you see, the technical name for this type of headphones is ''Ampliphones'. They transmit to your ears the sound waves coming from this – it's called a music box. It contains a sort of engine called dial... do you know what I'm talking about? I think so, as Chopper told me you've been to Skypiea…" Franky nodded; he actually hadn't gone to the sky island, but the guys had told him their adventure. Frankly, he was a little envious. "The music box can record, store and organise the songs and play them at your will, thank to these buttons here. It's very useful!" She concluded.
"That's a really nice toy you have here... could I analyse it sometimes? I'd like to build one of those myself." The girl nodded. "Sure, as long as you don't break it… it's very expensive, you know!" Franky smiled. "Of course, I'm really good at these things. Now it's better if you continue with your training, the others are about to get up and some of them could seriously interrupt you!" She smiled back at him and started jogging again.

After ten minutes, she decided she had run enough, as it was an activity she didn't quite like. She took off her shoes and continued her training barefoot, stretching her muscles. Then, when she thought she had warmed up enough, she started practising Kung Fu, the martial art she mastered. It seemed like she was fighting against an imaginary enemy, but she looked graceful and light.

Zoro, on the other side of the deck, was looking at her with interest. He understood her concentration, her precise movements made of strength, lightness and agility. She could be lethal.

"Hey, Akuma! I didn't know you can fight! Come on, Fight with me! Not with the air!" Luffy yelled, but was ignored by the girl, who hadn't heard him as she was still listening to music. Moreover, as soon as Sanji heard Luffy's words, he had jumped on the boy menacing him if only he had dared to touch his sweet Akuma.

Zoro snickered, as the scene was quite hilarious, even though once again that stupid cook had made a fool of himself. He personally agreed with Luffy, it was evident that Akuma was strong and used to fighting. He felt like training, too. After all, there was not much to do on the Sunny.


While he was lifting enormous weights with his Wado Ichimonji, Zoro noticed that Akuma was approaching. "Hey" she greeted him, "Can I borrow one of your swords?"

Surprised, he almost dropped his sword and all the weights, but his reflexes were honed enough to avoid a disaster. He gently put everything on the deck, then looked at the girl. "I'm sorry?"

"I asked you if I can borrow one of your swords, I wanted to train with a weapon." She explained.

"Well, they're not toys, you could hurt yourself" Zoro joked.

Akuma's golden eyes showed a glint of amusement. "Well, kid, if you've survived so far, I think I can handle them all right… so, can I borrow it or not? I just want to train."

He would never give his swords to anyone as they were its treasure. However, he tried to negotiate with the redhead. "If you tell me your real name, I could think about giving you one of my swords. Otherwise, there are a few of them in the kitchen, near the sofa."

Akuma snorted. "Touché" she admitted, while going to the kitchen to grab a common sword.

After a few minutes, she was still standing next to Zoro.

"Yours are more beautiful… Let's switch! Your white sword for this one!" She proposed, smiling. "I said no!" Zoro was annoyed, but it was evident that the girl was just making fun of him.

"Ok, I'll stop that… But at least let's fight! In this way I could beat the swords you didn't want to give me!" She challenged the first mate. Zoro grinned. "Very well, but be careful not to cry when I win."

At the speed of light, Sanji stormed out of the kitchen to stop Zoro, but he was knocked out by one of Luffy's punches, who wanted to enjoy the match.

Akuma was not so expert at swordsmanship as Zoro, but she was too damned agile. It was evident that she was used to hand-to-hand combat, rather than with weapons. Not that she didn't know how to use a sword, actually she was good at it, but she relied on it more to dodge and block her enemies' attacks, rather than attacking. Instead of striking powerful blows, she tried to get as close as possible to his body, to hit him in his vital points with a punch or a kick. Zoro had technique and experience by his side, and was physically stronger than the girl. It was a nice match, but Zoro knew he would win. The only thing that made him suspicious, and somewhat annoyed him, was that the redhead didn't seem to take it seriously. She didn't seem tired, either. At last, Zoro managed to make her lose her balance and pushed her to the ground. As she laid there, he towered her and pointed his sword to her throat.

"I think that somebody, here, lost miserably," he said to her with a mocking grin.

"Well, you're strong" she replied, before smiling mischievously. "That's funny" she said. In a split second, she opened her legs, causing the swordsman to lose his balance, as he had his feet next to her hips. Zoro fell, but when he tried to stand up again, he felt somewhat blocked to the ground.
What was happening?

In the meantime, Akuma had gotten back to her feet and had taken back her sword, which had fallen when Zoro had pushed her to the ground. Still smiling, she pointed the sword to his throat, mimicking him. "I think that the one who miserably lost here is not me. Now, let's get this over with."

Zoro didn't even have the time to think before he felt the blade cutting through the flesh of his neck.


"What are they doing?" Asked Nami to Luffy, worried. Some time had passed but Akuma and Zoro seemed stuck in the same position: the redhead pointing her sword to her friend's throat, but neither of them was moving. Then, Zoro gave a start, as if he had awoken from a bad dream. "The fight's over," Luffy replied seriously to his navigator, "Akuma won."

The swordsman was shocked. He was alive… What the hell had he felt, then? He had clearly seen Akuma as she lowered the blade on his neck, and he had felt an excruciating pain as the sword cut through his flesh. Still, he was alive. Meanwhile, Akuma had kneeled down in front of him. "You're strong, and you're good. But some people do not fight with 'traditional' methods, especially here in the Grand Line. You'd better focus on training what you have here" she said, pointing to his head. Then she gave him a once-over, looking at his arms, chest and abs, and winked at him. "Your other muscles are definitely ok", she stated.

Zoro did not speak. He felt humiliated. He had underestimated her, and he had made an ass of himself. For a moment, he thought about his childhood at the dojo when, even though he was the strongest, he constantly lost to Kuina, his master's daughter.

Akuma was strong. Still, that did not explained what she had done to him. Before he could ask her for explanations, though, the two were surrounded by the crew. He looked at Luffy, embarrassed as he had lost. Luffy helped him on his feet. "She's strong, isn't she?" He asked to his first mate. Zoro simply nodded.

At that moment Robin, who was on the lookout post, called to the pirates. "Hey, something's coming!" she yelled, pointing at somewhere in front of them.

"What are you saying? Are you sure? Please, don't kid around!" the long-nosed boy was already shaking with fear.

At about 300 metres away, the water was swelling; a gigantic sea monster emerged.

"What about some roast for dinner, cook?" Zoro asked, smirking, his hand on his swords. His blood was still boiling because of his recent defeat. It would be helpful to kill a huge snake.

"Mmh… yeah, with a bittersweet sauce…" the blonde chef said, making Luffy drool at the thought of a big piece of meat to eat.

Nami and Usopp had dropped crying on the round, hugging the mast, repeating "I don't wanna die, don't wanna die!"

"There's something on its back!" Robin drew the crew's attention to the animal. Actually, tied to the back of the monster thanks to a sort of long belt, there was a shell. Opening out, it revealed a ship's deck. The symbol on the flag, a skull with two crossed snakes instead of shinbones, left no room to imagination. Pirates, who would surely attack the Straw Hat crew.

"Do you still feel like fighting?" Zoro asked to Akuma, even though he already knew the answer. Receiving a nod from the girl, he smiled, pleased. "Good, we already have two scaredy cats to look after!" he exclaimed, glancing at the cartographer and at the sniper, who were still crying and despairing.

Strange. They didn't seem worried at all. Even if taken by surprise, those weird pirates were so calm, as if they were sure they would win. Yet, you must never underestimate your opponent. That was the first thing that Akuma was taught.

The fight had been continuing for some time. The crew of the Great Snake, as the captain of the ship had introduced himself, was composed of about a hundred men; some of them were pretty tough, and agile.

Luffy was fighting against Snake, dressed in a horrible python-skin, tight spandex. Really disgusting.

"Hey Usopp… did you notice? Akuma… she fights in a weird way." The boy searched for the redhead. He noticed she was very good at punching and kicking, but her opponents didn't seem too willing to block her blows, nor did they try to fight back. "You're right, Nami. Didn't you think that something wasn't right when she fought with Zoro, earlier?" The navigator nodded. Lost in their speculations, Usopp and Nami didn't notice the pirate who was approaching them, carrying a sword, until it was too late. They closed their eyes at the same time, apologizing for their sins. Since no blow hit them, they each opened one eye, hands on their head as a useless protection. The man was still there, but he wasn't moving. He seemed paralysed.

"So, Zoro was right when he said you were two scaredy cats!" The two turned around just to see Akuma, smirking. Her golden eyes became menacing, her pupils two blades, as she glared at the pirate. "You make me sick. Taking it out on those who don't fight… that's just disgusting." Nami and Usopp clearly saw the fearful expression in the man's eyes, before his neck broke after an unnatural rotation of his head. They looked away, nauseated.

"If you're not able to fight, be at least clever enough to go hide somewhere. There's no telling if next time you'll be safe and sound again." That said, she left.

The two companions looked at each other, both pale and trembling. The devil's fruit. There was no other possible explanation.


The fight had almost ended. Corpses and unconscious bodies were piled up on the deck, but naturally, the Straw-Hat crew were all right, even if a bit tired. Survivors had fled, carrying their unconscious captain along with them, but the gigantic snake was still there.

"Shouldn't they leave with their tail between their legs? What are they doing?" Franky was getting nervous.

"There's still someone on board." Akuma rushed to the lower deck. "Come on, get out! I'll let you escape with your friends, I swear!" she lied. The door of Nami's room suddenly burst open, while quick steps resonated in the corridor. Yet, the redhead couldn't see anybody. She hurried on the deck, shouting at the crew to look out for a thief. Still, even though they had been warned, they were powerless against an invisible enemy.

The thrust was really strong. Akuma found herself falling from the ship, into the sea. She noticed, out of the corner of her eye, the sea monster quickly escaping.

"Dive, idiots! Fish her out! She's eaten a Devil's Fruit, she's going to drown!" Nami shouted hysterically. Sanji didn't waste any more time and dove into the water to rescue his damsel in distress. He couldn't see her… but it was impossible that she had already drown and disappeared underwater in such a short time. When he rose to the surface to breathe in, he heard someone calling him.

"Did you feel like taking a bath?"

He quickly turned towards the voice and almost had a heart attack seeing that Akuma was not at all in distress, and had already caught the rope that had been thrown to help them get on the ship.

Once on the deck, the girl glared at the crew.

"I had warned you! You must be more careful! If it were you, Luffy, to fall out of the ship, you would be dead by now! You're so reckless!"

Chopper immediately wrapped her with a blanket, because she was shaking. Zoro gave one to Sanji, too. Well, he threw one at him, causing the nth quarrel between the two.

Nami arrived on the deck after a ten-minute-lower-deck patrol, looking like a ghost.

"They've entered Robin's and my room, we've… we've been robbed!" She crumpled to the ground, frustrated.

"Years worth of savings, of robbery… and now everything's vanished …"

Luffy and Zoro couldn't help laughing. The cartographer's pantomime was so funny.

"Come on, Nami! Be happy! Money is nothing when everybody's safe and sound and is having fun!" said Luffy, trying to cheer up the navigator. He didn't know, though, that he was just making her angrier and angrier. She grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and starter shaking him violently. "Idiot! You can't do anything without money! Don't you know how we get food? With money, MONEY!"

Nami then was joined in her desperate state by Luffy, who couldn't believe that he wouldn't eat anymore.

It was Robin who cheered things up. "Well, if that invisible man has only entered our room, that means there is still money and food in the hold."

"Big sister! You're the only one who understands me! I'm so lucky to have you here on this ship… this crew is composed of only stupid people!"

"Let me remind you that you're one of the people in this crew…" said Zoro, receiving a kick and an insult by the cook. Then, annoyed, the swordsman went to the kitchen.

There he found Akuma, who was drinking a cup of tea. She had dried and changed clothes, but her hair was still wet and tied in an unstable bun. Now that her hair was tied, Zoro noticed that the girl had a tattoo on her nape. It seemed like a writing, but the collar of her t-shirt was partially covering it, so he couldn't distinguish clearly what was written.

"Do you want some tea?" she asked. He refused, shaking his head.

"If that stupid cook finds you cooking, he'll …"

"What, Zoro? I'm a girl."

The swordsman sniggered. "You're right. He would probably propose to you."

"As if he hadn't already…"

Silence fell between them, but it wasn't so relaxed as the night when they were drinking in Flint Island. This was tense. The redhead knew that Zoro had seen her fighting and killing the man who had attacked Nami and Usopp. She knew she could be considered weird, but she didn't feel compelled to give explanations. Moreover, nobody had told them about Luffy's, Chopper's or Robin's powers.

"How did you…" Zoro couldn't complete the question, because the kitchen was invaded by the pirates. Akuma handed a cup of tea to Sanji, who thanked her effusively, that is to say jumping on the girl, who dodged right on time.


"That invisible asshole must have taken advantage of the confusion to sneak to the lower deck… quite a good strategy, for such a worthless crew…" the redhead mumbled to herself, while they were having dinner.

"What do you mean?"

Akuma snorted, mentally scolding herself. She had managed to blow her cover herself. She didn't want to tell anything about her job, not to raise unnecessary doubts and preoccupation in the pirates. "The captain is worth about 60 millions, and there aren't other impressive fighters in the crew …"

"How do you know this? Are you maybe a pirate hunter?" Nami asked, suspicious.

"Well, more or less." The girl replied, receiving surprised, frightened and angry looks. "Don't worry." she grumbled. "I only hunt down those I'm told to by my boss. And anyway, your bounties are still too low for me to take care of you."

She hoped she had eventually closed the issue; actually, an awkward silence fell into the room.

"We hope you have enjoyed tonight's show: 'How to crush the pride of a whole pirate crew with a simple statement'," Robin chuckled, not minimally affected by Akuma's remark. Usopp, Luffy, Franky, Chopper and Sanji, however, crouched in a corner, were rocking back and forth, humming "low bounties… low bounties…"

"Hey, I didn't mean to dishearten you! Maybe I wasn't clear! I mean… I'm usually ordered to hunt down people whose bounties are higher than 100 millions… As for now, apart from Luffy and Zoro, you can all be quiet… I won't harm you!"

"Tsk, as if you could… I'm much stronger than what my bounty says, and one day I'm going to be the Pirates' King, remember this!" Luffy exclaimed, smiling. The other pirates somewhat relaxed.

"Well, I'm pretty strong myself, straw hat. I might be arrogant, but I'm not talking trash." Akuma smiled back.

"Yeah I know, in fact I'd like to fight you, if you want we could just go outside and… "

A kick from Sanji shut him up. "If you dare to lay a finger on my sweet dove, I'll kill you! I'm already mad at myself for not preventing her from dirtying her silky hands with that idiot marimo first and those filthy pirates then…"

"By the way Akuma, how is it that you don't drown when you fall into the water?" Usopp asked. He wanted to know more about what he had seen. The rest of the crew focused their attention on her. The redhead seemed surprised.

"Why should I drown? I can swim perfectly!"

"Well, usually those who have eaten a devil's fruit sink immediately after falling into the water…"

"I've never eaten a devil's fruit…"

"And… and your powers?"

Akuma shrugged her shoulders. "I have had them as far back as I can remember."

Nami was charmed. "Really? That's quite impressive…"

Ok, she hadn't told them the whole truth, but she hadn't lied, either. She had just omitted some key points. Luffy, as noisy as ever, butted in on the discussion.

"Powers? What power?"

The navigator, annoyed, answered his question "You're a real idiot, Luffy! Haven't you noticed before? Telekinesis!"

"Uh? What's that? Is that anything edible?"

Nami was almost losing her temper, but Akuma came to her aid. Luffy noticed that his hat was floating in the air. He looked at the redhead. "Is that you?" she smiled at him, nodding. Usopp and Chopper were exalted. "Wow! How can you do this? I want to do his, too!" Sanji punched his captain on the head. "Idiot! You've got such a low IQ that you wouldn't move an object even if you begged it to!"

"Actually, concentration is much more useful …" Akuma tried to cheer him up. "Then we're done for, Luffy only concentrates while he's eating!" Usopp exclaimed, causing a general laughter.

She was beautiful, when she laughed. She lost that grave and evil aura that seemed to surround her wherever she went. He recalled her coolness while killing the pirate who was menacing Nami and Usopp, that afternoon. 'She must have done it many times', he thought. She was surely a pro at that. He wished never to be on her hit list. What he had experienced during their fight had been enough for him. An enemy who enters your head and forces you to do what he or she wants is much more dangerous even than the most skilful swordsman. In that case, you are free to think about a strategy or a counterattack, but against someone controlling your movements, you're done for.

She said she was a bounty hunter, yet Zoro felt like he could trust her when she said she had no intention to kill them. She seemed very honest to the swordsman.

Shortly earlier, Usopp and Luffy had jumped on the table and they were now singing and dancing; the rest of the crew looked at them laughing. Zoro glanced at Akuma once again. His gaze lingered on her face, admiring her long eyelashes and her full lips, then slid to her cleavage. He looked as her breast rose and fell as she laughed.

He had to look away, reluctantly, when he sensed the presence of an asshole behind him.

"What are you looking at, pervert?" Sanji hissed, glaring murderously at him.

"Nothing you haven't already examined. I've seen you: yesterday, this morning, a short while ago…"

"What do you mean, marimo?"

"I mean I'm not the only pervert here, third-rate cook. You are even worse." He stood up and left. It was the first time the blonde idiot hadn't sprung at him, and it was strange. Turning around, he noticed a strange heart-eyed being, who was serving a cocktail to Nami.

Outside a warm breeze blew, the moon and the stars brightened the night. Zoro felt his eyelids heavier and heavier.
