They had to wait about half an hour before the blonde cook came back, together they combined the air within all three bubbles, and they together swam back to the ship, not before they saw a fearsome beast trying to attack it.
"Ah, it's a kraken." Zoro said looking at the beast in some amusement, Luffy was squealing saying it was so cool, and Sanji immediately was worried about the two girls upon the ship, so far the crew had managed to keep the beast at bay, by not letting it get close to the Thousand Sunny but it wasn't going to last forever.
Zoro prepared to separate himself from the others with the bubble to quickly slice the kraken when Luffy stopped him, all of them managing to get back onto the boat before he stood up on the figurehead. "I'm going to tame it." He said grinning happily.
Sure Luffy had said that, he knew that Luffy was Luffy and nothing would stop him, but he was worried about his captain, he promised himself that he wouldn't worry about Luffy anymore, but he couldn't help it. He was helplessly in love with the man, and was desperately waiting for Luffy to come back as he had once again gone out in the bubble insisting that he could do this.
Zoro sighed out and then blinked as he saw the Captain coming back, waving happily on top of the Krakens head; he began to laugh, before the small chuckles turned into short spurts of laughter. The whole crew looked relieved, but knew that he was so much that he was laughing heavily.
"Ah, don't laugh at me Zoro." The Captain grumbled as he got out from the Kraken back onto the ship, puffing out his cheeks bitterly.
"So, is he going to pull us to Fishman Island?" the Reindeer asked, a bit excited about the whole thing.
"Yeah of course, Surume!" he yelled out, causing the large octopi to look over, "Will you let us put ropes around you so you can pull us? I'm sure Sanji has some meat for you if you do it, we can eat it together!" he cried out, grinning at the large creature, which let out a coo that rumbled the ship, and made the whole crew laugh. Only someone like Luffy could tame a beast like this, but Zoro asked the question on everyone's mind.
"How did you tame the beast Luffy?" he asked as he looked at the other, staring at him lightly. Luffy blinked then grinned. "That's for later, but, I'll tell you what it is." He said grinning and crossing his arms. "It's called Haki; I learned it during these two years, as well as other things." He replied assuredly. Zoro tisked and ruffled the boys hair, causing him to squawk in surprise before smile. "Only someone like you." He grumbled lightly to himself. Sanji looked over to Nami who was watching with curiosity humming a bit.
"My oh my." She whispered softly, tilting her head a bit, beginning to chuckle then waved to the crew, signaling that the more they left the others alone, the more chance Zoro got to tell Luffy what he knew.
Zoro yawned; they had a while before they got to Fishman Island, he might as well catch a few zzz's. He sat upon the green grass of the deck in one area, relaxing himself and closing his eye before blinking feeling weight.
"Everyone's doing something." Luffy groaned, he was tugging gently on the other's sleeve. "Can I spend time with you again? I'm not bothering you am I?"
"Luffy, you know you can never bother me enough." He teased softly hugging him gently around the waist and pulling him up close, setting him upon his lap as he relaxed himself.
"Hehehe." Luffy began to giggle, snuggling up around him, hugging him from the waist, his chin perched upon the others chest as he stared up at him smiling widely.
"What are you looking at me like that for?" Zoro asked, raising an eyebrow, watching him and not able to stop from smiling as he watched him.
"Zoro, you never did this before, why?"
"Well, I think I didn't do it enough, that's why I am doing this now." He said softly, looking up at the sea about him, before back at his Captain. "I always treated everyone untrustworthy, but… I want that to change, I don't want everyone thinking I'm harsh and mean."
"When were you like that?"
"Did I ever let you do this?"
"No."
"See. I'm trying to show you I'm nice, now go to sleep little bugger." He teased pushing the hat over the others eyes and a fit of giggles erupted from him, making the other let out a soft rumble of laughter.
Soon they were laughing so hard that they couldn't move and it was hard to breathe, Nami peeked out from a window rolling her eyes, of course, he wouldn't tell unless he had some certain circumstances. She sighed and then took off one of her shoes, throwing at them gently, having it hit the Swordsman forehead, causing him to cough lightly and look up panting softly, and the Rubberman sprawled out on his lap still laughing his ass off. Nami lightly scoffed at them and then went back into her dorm.
"Zoro, why'd you stop?" Luffy asked between fits of giggles and laughter, he blinked before grinning and taking the others foot, beginning to tickle the heel after he flipped off the sandal, causing more fits of laughter to erupt from the raven head.
Soon Chopper and Usopp, curious about what was going on began to appear on the deck watching them before a hand stretched out from the tangle of tickling and grabbed the two, dragging them into the huddle.
Soon all of them were laughing and tickling each other, Zoro was able to pull away and brush himself off, rolling his eyes a bit as he began to walk off. Before a hand stretched out and grabbed him by the robe, sending him flying back a bit and slamming his ass down on the deck, he frowned over at Luffy, they were all sitting like normal, staring at him, legs crossed.
"Where is Zoro going?" Luffy asked seemingly innocent.
"Away from you morons." Zoro said leaning against the wall and frowning at them before he grunted seeing the looks upon their faces; suddenly he was tackled by Luffy who wrapped himself around Zoro, yelling out for the other two. Zoro struggled against the tangle of limbs, but couldn't, Luffy have gotten quite strong, and he couldn't get out of the mass of limbs.
"Aah, let me go!" he yelled as Usopp and Chopper grabbed his boots, pulling them off and began to tickle his feet that was the only place that Zoro was ticklish, and it worked.
He began chuckling, arching and squirming around trying to get them off before the chuckles went into laughter, he laughed more and more squirming twisting and shouting trying to get them to let go.

After t en minutes Zoro managed to get out of Luffys bonds, sitting up and chasing Usopp and Chopper away who were screaming and laughing.
Once he came back to see that Luffy was waiting for him, in the same position he had been before the tickle fest began, he frowned at him gently tipping the others hat off which made him curse angrily as he sat down on the side of the deck. But Luffy was too tired from laughing to cause a fight as he snuggled up next to Zoro grumpily.
Soon Zoro began to fall asleep, and when Nami came out to cover them up, she couldn't help but smile seeing them cuddled up together; Luffy snuggled up against Zoro, wrapped about him and mumbling to him.
Nami blinked and hid behind the mast to hear what he was saying.
"Mm… Zoro, you are too sweet, I'm so glad that you are my first mate." He mumbled as he pet the others hair, just talking to himself mostly. He straightened some of Zoro's locks after he messed them up and then gently touched the scar on his chest. "I remember the promise you made by this scar, and now I make a promise by mine," he said touching his own scar. "I will never, let you down. Ever again, I will always be there for you and you there for me." He said and gently kissed the others forehead. "I… love you Zoro."
Nami grinned and waited for them to fall asleep before putting the blankets around them and harshly warning that no one should disturb them.

Zoro woke up by the sounds of arguments, he groaned softly and rubbed his temples, sitting up a bit as he looked about hearing voices he didn't recognize, Luffy had woken up at about the same time, a bit earlier as he sat up rubbing his head and looked over tilting his head.
Surume shifted a bit as one of the fishman, who proclaimed himself as a member of the New Fishman Pirates, named Hammond frowned seeing the beast.
"What are you doing carrying a crew of sinful humans, that's disgusting." He scoffed the kraken let out a soft groan as the ropes snapped and he swam off down into the dark waters scared. Zoro frowned as the man who he didn't know, Luffy surely wouldn't like that. But, the man seemed to know a lot about them, he began to list off things they had done, especially something that was very long ago.
Defeating Arlong.
That name brought disgust to most of the crew, though a few members didn't know who it was, they would have to explain later, Luffy blinked as the man said something that made them all pause and look to the man, who they weren't frightened of, he was just a bother.
"Now, you have a choice." The man said grinning, "Either join us New Fishman Pirates as filthy human slaves, or die."
Luffy blinked a few times then barked out in laughter, jumping up onto the figure head, making a face at the man and replying with a, "No way." Which made Zoro smile and walk over about to show those fishmen a lesson as he glared at them.
Nami looked over waiting for the signal until a small flash came from down below. "Hold on guys!" she shouted. "We're going in." and then the Coup De Burst blasted them past the fishman and onto the way of the Fishman island, they passed through the first bubble successfully. But the second had water, causing them to all fling about and become separated from their ship and each other.
