Chapter Three: Ship Graveyard (continued ; ) )

"YOU LUCKY BASTARD!" Rachel and Missy's heads snapped up in the direction of the voices. They spotted the 'rescue' team gathered around the second floor ledge of the club.

Rachel looked back to Missy and clicked her high heels together. When Missy looked at her in confusion Rachel gave her a mock salute. "Gotta go," she said shortly. Rachel spun on her heel and charged back down the way she came.

Missy didn't have time to question it when a shadow passed over her head. Zoro landed in the middle of the dance floor and was quickly on Rachel's heels. Missy blinked a few times and then was back to sorting through the bottles. She was comparing two labels when Law's face was suddenly in front of her own. "Can I help you?" she asked.

"We're leaving," Law announced.

"No can do, captain kangaroo." Missy proceeded to put one of the bottles in the cart while dismissing the other. I'm in charge of sorting through this mess and picking out the good stuff. I can't just abandon that duty."

"It's not an important one," Law's eye twitched. The others noticed that he didn't comment on the way that Missy refused to follow his order.

"Says you," Missy charged back. "As far as I'm concerned, there are certain libations that are integral in maintaining my sanity."

Sanji had come behind the bar and started looking at the bottles. "What are all of these?" he asked. He held up the bottle Missy just put down.

"These are different types of alcohol from mine and Rachel's world," Missy explained. "You have there a bottle of Red Wine. Not really something I have a taste for. I know that Rachel doesn't care much for it either, unless she's cooking with it. But that particular one is too ritzy to be used as anything besides a sipping drink."

Robin took the bottle from Sanji, opened it and took a careful sniff. "This has a lovely bouquet to it."

"It's yours then," Missy said quickly. "You can have all the wine and champagne as far as I'm concerned. Although, Rachel might want one or two. I know that she makes a spice wine when she has time for it."

"I'll have to ask her for a taste sometime," Robin smiled sweetly. Sanji and Ace were now doing their own search through the bottles. Since they couldn't read the language printed on the labels there was a lot of tasting going on.

"I think that we've gone off topic here," Law snapped. "We're here to bring the two back to the Depth Charge and Nunya."

"Of course we did," Robin agreed. "All you need to do now is find Luffy and we'll be on our way."

Law looked around the empty club. Luffy was no where to be seen. Usopp and Brooke were playing on a stage with the equipment and instruments. "Straw Hat-ya," he growled.

"Let the guys explore a little," Missy continued her sorting. "There's nothing here that can hurt them or us. Unless you're with Rachel, she usually finds the dangerous stuff. If she hasn't already loaded the security equipment from this ship she will in a short time."

Rachel jogged through the halls. "Let's see now," she muttered under her breath. "A right turn here." She turned down the hall and kept up her easy jog. "Now a left, a right... Up the stairs and a left." Rachel stopped her jog and caught her breath. She took off the heels she was wearing and rubbed her feet. "Wish I kept my combat boots on." She rubbed at a sore spot on her heel.

"Did you get everything needed?" Rachel turned to see Bre walking up. Bre stopped and blinked at her. "Why are you dressed like that and why are you out of breath?"

"Long story," Rachel shook her head. "Anyway, we have company. We might not have as long for 'bargain shopping' as we hoped."

"What do you mean by company?" Bre asked. "Are there other pirates here?"

"Nooooo," Rachel said slowly. "I mean that our other nakama caught up to us."

"Oh right," Bre nodded. "The rest of Luffy's crew."

"Not all of them," Rachel said. Her eyes were narrowed on Bre. "What's up with you? You're acting a bit differently then before we arrived."

"I've been doing some thinking." The sound of footsteps made Rachel shush Bre.

"We'll talk about it later," Rachel whispered. "Right now I have to keep moving." Rachel then rushed past her and turned down a different hall.

Bre looked at the sound of the footsteps. Luffy had walked past them. He was at the end of the open hall and looking down at the lower deck. "THIS SHIP HAS IT'S OWN POOL!" he yelled. "THAT'S SOOOOO COOOOOL!"

After a few more turns Rachel looked around to see she was alone. "I should write a book," she said to herself. "I think I'll call it 'How to Lose a Directionaly Challenged Man in Five Turns or Less'." Rachel was nodding to herself at her brilliant idea.

Without warning, the floor dropped out from under Rachel. As she fell arms caught her and saved her from a rough landing. Rachel blinked the dust out of her eyes and squinted to see what had happened. The roof had a circular hole in it to the floor above, the floor that Rachel had previously been standing on. Slowly, Rachel's eyes shifted to the one that was holding her. Zoro was looking down at her with an unreadable expression on his face. "Well crap," she cursed.

Zoro's lips were then crashing down on her own. He let out a growl as he pulled away. "What is wrong with you?" he demanded. "Why would you go off on your own like that?"

"I wasn't on my own," Rachel argued. "I had Missy and Bre with me." Zoro's unreadable expression was back. "Besides, I wanted to look for this ship as soon as possible and explore it if we found it. You wouldn't have let me just go on my own."

"You're damn right I wouldn't," Zoro snapped. "You have no idea where an enemy marine could be lurking."

"You're still upset about the whole 'stolen sake surprise' thing?" Rachel asked. When Zoro didn't answer she started giggling. "If I had known you wanted some that badly I would have saved you a bottle."

"That's not the point!" Zoro snapped. "You could have been caught by the marines while you were playing around!"

"And you would storm Impel Down just to yell at me," Rachel grinned.

"Damnit woman, would you just listen to reason for once?"

"The same goes for you," Rachel pointed out. "It was the perfect time to strike at the heart of the Marines. They weren't expecting such a bold move with all the fuss that you guys caused in Dressrosa. It was the perfect moment to take advantage of the moment. Now, though, it would be impossible. Their guard is so far up that we wouldn't even dare to infiltrate a remote outpost without at least telling you all about it. At the very least we would like some back up in case we're in a corner."

Zoro stared at Rachel silently for a moment. "You're telling me that you won't go and try something like that with the navy again?"

"Maybe not 'ever' again," Rachel amended. "Just 'not right now'."

Zoro shook his head as he let Rachel stand on her feet. "Now what was this whole outfit of yours about anyway? Navy clothes don't suit you at all."

"Whether they suit me or not isn't the point," Rachel smirked. "I believe you heard what it was for back in the club area."

"Something about a pirate corrupting a recruit?" Zoro looked up thoughtfully.

"It's called 'role playing'," Rachel pointed out. "Basically, you can consider it acting. I play the act of a marine recruit, trying to impress her superiors by apprehending a notorious pirate. The same pirate in turn decides to corrupt the navy recruit using any means he deems necessary." Rachel put a certain influctuation in her voice that had Zoro's eye snapping to look into her own. The smirk she was wearing told him everything.

"So what are you waiting for?" he asked.

"You want to play now?" Rachel blinked in surprise.

"Why not?"

"I'm warning you Zoro," Rachel poked his chest. "I'll be playing the role of a marine. It's going to be a bit on the realistic side. You have to take this seriously. Also, we'll have to be careful not to involve the others. Kind of hard when they're all on the same ship." Rachel's eyes shifted to look in the direction of the others.

"They'll leave eventually," Zoro stepped closer. Rachel's eyes were instantly on him again. Zoro blinked in shock when he suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his jaw.

Rachel had a fist raised and was putting distance between them. She had her gun drawn now and was pointing it towards him. "Just remember one thing," she said sweetly. "I did give you fair warning that it would be like this." The gun then went off.

Missy felt the ship shake as she was pushing the cart towards BB. "I don't believe it," she seethed. "Okay everyone! Let's get this stuff loaded and back to the Nunya ASAP!"

"What about Rachel, Zoro, Luffy and Bre?" Usopp asked.

"What about me?" Bre walked up with her own cart.

"That leaves Luffy, Zoro and Rachel," Robin pointed out.

"Did you guys feel that?" Luffy was suddenly upon them. "The ship is going to sink! We have to find Zoro and Rachel!"

"They're fine Luffy," Missy appeased. "We'll come back and pick them up in the morning."

"But what if they're in a fight?" Luffy argued.

"They're in a fight," Missy agreed. "But it's not with any enemy."

"That bastard," Sanji seethed. His cigarette was burning down to the filter faster as he took a deep inhale. "I'm going to kill him."

"Down boy," Missy teased. "You don't need to worry about Zoro hurting Rae. Really, it's the other way around."

"I don't get it," Luffy looked confused.

"Don't worry about it Luffy," Ace said. He was ushering everyone into BB and Mini-Merry. "I'll explain it to you when you're older."

"We'll come back in the morning Luffy," Usopp said. "It'll be better to explore the ship in the daylight. We can see more without worrying about ghosts."

"But seeing ghosts would be so cool," Luffy whined.

"Get in the boat idiot," Sanji snapped. "If you don't get in I'll make nothing but vegetables for dinner tomorrow." Before anyone could say anything else Luffy was in BB.

"That takes care of that," Bre laughed.

"Should have known," Usopp sighed. "Instead of arguing with Luffy, which is pointless to begin with, we should have just bribed him with food or threatened him like Sanji did." The remaining people climbed into the two boats and headed back to the main ships.

Rachel was once again running through the halls. This time was different though. She wasn't necessarily trying to lose sight of Zoro or get him to lose sight of her. Every now and then she would pop a shot off at him. Zoro took a little longer to warm up to the idea of this being an actual fight. He changed his mind when one bullet came awfully close to actually causing some damage.

Rachel put up a strong fight against Zoro. Did she think she could win? Not a chance. Buy some time to make this more exciting? Without a doubt. Rachel led Zoro on a wild goose chase through the whole ship. Just when it seemed like he caught up to her she would be gone again. On several occasions Rachel had time to set up traps that Zoro had walked right into. Buckets of water nearly landing on his head, a floor slippery from soap and a pipe exploding next to him were only a few. Rachel was waiting at each trap. With the bucket she had hoped it would land on his head so she could jump him. In the end it didn't work and the more she thought about it the more cartoonish it was.

The slippery floor was only slightly better. Zoro was expected to run onto the floor, slip and fall. As he would try to get up she would slap a set of hand cuffs she got from the security room on him. Unfortunately he never lost his balance to the point of falling. Instead, Rachel ended up having to work extra hard to get away and devise another plan.

The exploding pipe was the most dangerous, but also the most likely to succeed. It would shock Zoro, possibly causing temporary blindness and sudden hearing loss. If nothing else, the smoke alone should give Rachel the opportunity she was looking for.

Rachel made her way through the smoke. She could barely make out the form of Zoro hunched over. For a splint second she was worried that she had taken things a little too far. She had just pulled the cuffs from her belt when she was slammed against the wall. Zoro was smirking down at her. He had her wrists trapped in one hand and raised above her head.

Rachel blinked in confusion, the hunched form was still in the smoke. The smoke cleared more quickly since fresh air was now coming in. The hunched figure had been various cleaning supplies stuffed in a rolling mop bucket with a tarp covering them. Rachel looked up at Zoro's face. "You cheated," she accused.

"One trap deserves another," Zoro shrugged. "Besides, I believe you've once said that 'all's fair in love and war'. This more than qualifies, don't you agree?" Zoro descended and his lips caught Rachel's. The fight continued as the two battled for dominance.

Rachel was concentrating on winning the kiss that she didn't notice what Zoro was up to until it was too late. He took the cuffs from her hand and put them on her instead. Rachel broke from the kiss when she felt the cold steel go around her wrists. Zoro moved further and started kissing and biting at Rachel's neck. It was a good thing that Zoro was holding her up. Rachel's knees buckled out from under her from the intense feelings. Zoro pushed the two of them into the closest room and closed the door.

Even though she was cuffed and practically a pile of jello, Rachel didn't stop putting up a fight for Zoro. No marine in her right mind would ever just stop fighting, regardless of her feelings to the contrary. Zoro found himself pushed against a wall. The move caused a lamp and it's stand to fall to the floor and shatter glass.

Zoro surged off of the wall and pushed Rachel up against a dresser. Whatever had been on the top of it were suddenly on the floor. Rachel double fisted and punched Zoro once again. This time he crashed into a mirror. With a smirk, Zoro charged back in and had Rachel against the door. He looped the cuffs over a hook on the door, trapping Rachel in her place.

Zoro stepped back and admired the image that Rachel presented. The uniform, which was once crisp and fresh, was disheveled and wrinkly. The short skirt had ridden up her thighs. The curve of her bottom was just barely being shown. With her arms raised not only was her bust more pronounced it was also stretching the jacket to the point where the buttons looks like they were about to bust off.

Zoro wasn't too much better off. His jaw throbbed from that last blow. It would almost certainly have a bruise in the morning. Torturously slow, Zoro took his swords from his side. He laid them against the wall with care. He then stalked towards Rachel as she attempted to pull her arms free of the hook. His hands at her waist caused her to still and look back to him. Zoro had a satisfied smirk as his hands began their search. First, he removed her hand guns and placed them with his swords. Lastly, he found her sea prism knife.

Zoro stared at the knife in thought. He glanced up to Rachel and then back down to the blade. He swiftly took the blade from it's sheath. He started at the base of the navy uniform's skirt and worked his way up. He sliced the uniform open in the front, careful not to knick Rachel. With just the front cut Zoro put the knife away and placed it with the other weapons. He turned back to Rachel to look at his handiwork.

The image Rachel gave off sent a feeling of male pride through Zoro. This woman was his wife and she had tried so hard this night to make things more exciting for him. Even to the point that he really had to think of a strategy to come out victorious. She was looking at him with hunger in her eyes. The uniform barely hanging onto her form made her look even more erotic. Zoro couldn't hold back any longer.

Zoro's hands were all over Rachel while his mouth was on hers. Rachel returned the kiss with as much heat and passion as she could muster with her hands trapped. Zoro shed his clothing as quickly as he could. His pants were barely off when Rachel's legs were wrapped around his waist. Taking that as his cue, Zoro pushed himself into his wife. The raging adrenaline from the 'game' made itself known. Zoro was never the most gentle lover, but he had been able to hold back to some extent. The adrenaline still pumping through his veins made that impossible. Zoro thrust his hips as if his life depended on it. Rachel's cries of pleasure only urged him to continue until he was finished.

Zoro leaned his head in the crook of Rachel's neck and shoulder. He had finished with so much force that he was shaking. Rachel was in a similar position. The two of them were drenched in sweat and working to catch their breath. After a moment Zoro reached up and pulled Rachel's cuffed hands from the hook. When her feet hit the floor she stumbled. Zoro caught her in his arms with a smirk. Rachel looked at him with a laugh of her own.

Zoro moved Rachel's hands so that she had her arms wrapped around his neck, the cuffs still on. "Aren't you going to take them off?" Rachel asked.

"I'm not done yet," Zoro informed her. "I'm supposed to be working on corrupting you, remember?" Zoro lowered Rachel onto the bed. With her arms still wrapped around his neck, Zoro had to follow her down.

Rachel opened her eyes tiredly. Sunlight was streaming into her eyes. It was well into the morning, looking like it was getting close to noon. Zoro's arms, wrapped around her, squeezed her tightly. It was almost as if Zoro knew the instant she woke. 'He probably did,' she thought. Rachel turned in Zoro's arms to face him. She kissed him lightly on the lips. Zoro moved a hand to the back of her head and deepened the kiss.

After a moment, Rachel pulled away. "Thanks for letting me sleep without the cuffs on," she joked. "Last night was really fun." Zoro grunted in agreement. "Although I do have one thing to say about it. The next time we want to role play like this..." A breeze ruffled the mess of Rachel's hair as she looked up at the gaping hole above their heads. "We have to make sure we're nowhere near the Nunya."
