Zoro sat on deck with his three swords with his eyes closed. It had warmed up since yesterday morning when they had left the winter island in a fast flowing current. The swordsman had taken this time to train, disciplining his body against the cold. But now he could do one of his favorite things again: To doze on the deck. But at that moment it was quite complicated because he couldn't fall asleep. He had to think about Nami and Robin and to the new situation. He hadn't changed his point of view; it still doesn't matter for him what the women did in private as long as they fulfilled their duties and as long as they did what was necessary to defeat their enemies… but even Zoro had to admit that things had changed: They had to find a way to handle it. Sanji, for example, was in a state of pure shock which couldn't be good. Sanji just was a simple potato-peeler, but as long as he was shocked he wasn't a full crewmember. Chopper had changed, too. The doctor everything to relieve the two and to give them extra time together. In Zoro's eyes, it was very dangerous to do that; Nami didn't like it either, but he wasn't sure how long she would resist this extra-treatment… there may be a time when the two would take it as normal. Damn, they were on a ship! Extra-treatment for a crewman couldn't be accepted. Usopp was… Zoro didn't know how Usopp felt. On the one hand he didn't have a problem with it, but on the other hand the long-nose acted strange like looking at them when he thought that no one saw him; Usopp was insecure. He was trying to get used to it, but like all of them he just was human. Luffy didn't have a problem with it, but the problem was that Luffy didn't realize that it could grow into a problem. Nobody had said that the two would stay together until the end of the world. What if they had a fight or if they parted. This could do serious damage to the crew.

Zoro sighed. He was the only one who stayed cool.

Suddenly a voice tore him out his beginning dozing. Nami was at the tangerines and was having a discussion with Sanji. The swordsman was sure that they couldn't see them. He grumbled, trying to ignore them, but they were too loud, and so he was forced to listen.

"Hey, you promised me you would try!"

"I… I'm sorry, it's hard."

"Damn, cook! What's so hard to understand?? I love her and she loves me. It's very easy. Even Luffy understands it!"

Silence.

"I didn't say that it was hard to understand. It's hard to accept for me."

Nami's voice got angrier after a moment, "So, you hate me because of my love?"

"No! But…"

"But WHAT? You don't accept it. All the times you told me that you want to see me happy. But when I'm happy, you're against it. I think you just wanna see me happy with you. If there's another person in my life, you're just jealous!"

"Nami, I…"

"Shut up, liar!" she hissed and left the deck.

Zoro sighed again and stood up.

Sanji started when he saw him and looked at him dangerously, "You were listening?"

"Yeah."

Silence.

But after a moment the swordsman said, "You should let her go, potato-peeler."

Sanji looked into his eyes and smiled coldly, "YOU want to tell me how to treat the woman I love??"

"Yes, I do," Zoro said seriously. "And if you don't accept her decision, she will leave the crew… as will Robin. Do you want that?"

He didn't look at him and went to the door. Before he left, he whispered, "Apologize to her! And realize that she's completely out of your reach now!"
