Give It Up For You

A/N: Thanks to BrainDeadMaggot, I was able to get an appropriate weight for Zoro. I was able to go on Wikipedia and find Zoro's height, 178cm (5'10"). He would have been severely underweight if I left him at 149. His current weight for this fic would be 184. Sorry for the error. And thanks once again BrainDeadMaggot

Pairing: Sanji/Zoro Smoker/Ace Usopp/Kaya Franky/Robin

Sanji woke earlier than usual. He didn't want to leave his bed; it felt so nice and warm, contrary to the cold outside. Sitting up on his bed slowly, with the covers still on him, Sanji decided to make himself some coffee so he could warm up before heading to work.

Reaching his kitchen, he slowly stepped in; feeling the cold tiles under his feet, he wished he had worn some socks before getting out of bed. Sanji watched his empty kitchen, and like a ton of bricks, Sanji noticed he was alone. He had a house, a car and a job. But he didn't have a family. The house he called home, felt so…empty. Nothing was moved out-of-place, so he could scream to put it back, he wasn't greeted when he returned from work, and his house had no life. It was empty….

Finally leaving his house Sanji started making his way to the Baratie. As he passed over the bridge, the blonde stopped. Pulling his coat closer to him, Sanji looked over. The river below was barely running, the ice coating it. "I wish I could meet the right person. It would be so romantic if we could meet here. Maybe save my life or something. He would be like my prince charming, like in those movies." Sighing, Sanji stuffed his hands in his coat pocket and continued his way to work. Even walking to work he felt alone. The only footsteps he could hear were his own and nothing else.

The zooming cars that passed Sanji brought the blonde out of his thoughts. "The roads are slippery, why are they speeding like that. Do they have a death wish?" Shaking his head, the blonde continued his walk.

"Stupid Brooks. Now he has me all depressed." Sanji murmured, as he kicked the snow, which was piled on the road. "I work at a restaurant, cooking food. I don't have time to meet people. What if they come to me?... And even then, that doesn't guarantee they would be the right person."

Nami clapped her hands to silence the group. "Ok, now that you're all here, I can finally start. First off, I want to congratulate Smoker and Zoro once again for their victory three days ago." The ginger hair girl turned her glance to Zoro. "I talked to Doflamingo, and he requested for the fight tomorrow, if you would let more rounds pass."

Zoro just shrugged as an answer.

"Also, I have the names of the opponents you will be facing. Zoro, you'll be up against Daz Bonez. He's better known as Mr.1 in the heavyweight class. Apparently, he started losing fights and now is back on Cruiser-weight. So be careful when fighting him. He won't be like the others you have fought against. "

Seeing Zoro nod in understanding, her attention went to Smoker. "Your opponent is Vergo. After watching his last fight, I can say he can tank hits. And after the offender tires, he takes advantage. I hope you've trained your endurance."

Nami placed her clipboard aside, as Ace stood up. "We'll do your first weigh in. You can leave once I'm finished."

Smoker stretched as he got off the chair he was seated on. Stripping, and only leaving his pants on, Smoker got on the scale.

"215" Ace said, as Nami took down the numbers. Not having to take any other measurement, like arm reach because it was taken not too long ago. Smoker got off the scale and started to dress again. Zoro had already stripped to his pants by the time Smoker got off the scale.

"189" Ace frowned. Resetting the scale, he did it again. "189" He repeated. "Zoro, you weighed 184 just three days ago."

"It's just water weight." Zoro dismissed nonchalantly.

Ace studied Zoro. "What did you eat last week, or the week before?" Zoro rolled his eyes at Ace's question.

"Ace, I already told you, its water weight. Would you just leave it at that?" Zoro's tone sounding annoyed. The freckled cheek teen raised his hands in defeat.

"Whatever you say, I've been doing this for years and I know..." Ace had his mouth open, clearly wanting to say more, but left it at that, as he took the clipboard from Nami and left the room with Smoker.

"Zoro, are you ok?"

"Not you too Nami." Placing his shirt over his head, Zoro started to head for the exit.

Zoro just felt tired. He would go to sleep if he could. But sadly he could not. Zoro pivot his foot, dodging one of Mr.1 punches. They were already on their seventh round. Zoro had wanted to end it on the fifth; but apparently Nami was right, Mr.1 was a totally different fighter than Morgan. Zoro wiped the sweat and blood that slid down his face with the back of his wrist.

Mr.1 didn't even look fazed, the most he could have been was tired. Unlike the younger boxer, who was already showing bruises and signs of extreme exhaustion.

"Our returning Champion Mr.1 seems to be giving Roronoa a fight he won't be able to win. Already more than half way through the rounds and Mr.1 seems like he could go on forever. "

Ding ding ding

Zoro's never felt so happy hearing that bell. Retreating, the boxer practically threw himself on the stool. Ace and the small paramedic group rushing in to clean his cuts and bruises. Ace's face came into Zoro's view. Zoro gritted his teeth as one of the paramedics pressed his nose, taking out the blood there.

"Zoro I'm letting you fight just one more round. I'm throwing in the towel if it goes on like this." Ace Frowned. "Don't shake your head at me! You have barely touched him. Get your breathing under control... If the fight continues like this I have no other option."

As soon as Ace stood from his crouched position, the bell rang for the fight to continue. Zoro pushed his aching body to stand. His head was swimming, and he felt sore. If he didn't end this now, then he will lose.

Mr.1 came in with a right punch, followed quickly by a left. Zoro blocked it as best he could. But Mr.1 didn't stop, knowing Zoro couldn't block forever, Mr.1 continued his punches, forcing the smaller boxer to take steps back, until his back was close to touching the ropes.

Nami stood up from her chair, placing both her hands over her mouth. "Why doesn't Ace stop the fight?" Nami glanced down when she heard Chopper.

"Is Zoro-senpai going to lose?"

"I don't know Chopper. I prefer the fight to end before he gets hurt too bad." Both Nami and Chopper glanced at Luffy in surprise when they heard him speak.

"Don't give up hope. Zoro will win." Luffy smiled at Chopper and Nami. "Zoro's strong, so he will win."

Nami couldn't believe those simple words could make her smile, even if just a little. Luffy had that effect on people. It was how his mind worked. If Luffy believed he will win, then Zoro will. Chopper seemed to be feeling the same, as he too had a smile on his lips, and was now once again cheering for Zoro.

"Zoro…please win. Chopper is watching and he needs you to win."

"Zoro-senpai, Shishi Sonson!" Nami froze and looked at Chopper. Confused on what he was saying. "Chopper? What are you talking about?"

The small boy looked at Nami with an innocent expression. "When Zoro trains, I'm normally with him. I don't know the names of the punches, so Zoro-senpai told me to name them myself." Turning to face the ring again, Chopper placed both his hands beside his mouth. "Shishi Sonson!"

Nami smiled as she too started to chant with Chopper. "Shishi Sonson!" Luffy, joining in as well.

"What the hell does that mean?" Mr.1 asked himself confused. "It doesn't matter! This is ending now!" Mr.1 advanced, closing in on Zoro.

Zoro smirked. "Thanks Chopper."

"Don't! Stop, you're leaving yourself open!" Mr.1's trainer, Crocodile screamed,.

"It doesn't matter!" Mr.1 replied, bringing his hand back for the finishing blow. "I have this cat in the bag!"

Zoro slipped past Mr. 1's punch by rotating his body slightly with his hips and shoulders. Zoro adjusted his feet. Going for an uppercut, Zoro missed because Mr.1 saw it coming and leaned back, Zoro's punch missing his chin. However, Zoro had is other fist ready, by the time Mr.1 regained his bearing, Zoro had already brought his shoulder and torso back and with a powerful punch, it connected with Mr.1.

Mr.1 instantly fell on his knees, before falling completely on the floor. Zoro wobbled on his feet, as the referee ran by Mr.1 and declared him as KO.

"Mr.1 was beaten? ... We have a winner! He surprised me again! Our winner, Roronoa Zoro!"

Finally feeling fatigue take him, Zoro felt himself reel back, as someone held onto him. "You won…" Ace said. His hands supporting the boxer

"Yeah. All I want is a nap…"

Nami sat back. Releasing the breath she didn't know she was holding. She felt like the only one who wasn't cheering, of course, except crocodile and Mr.1. "Zoro, I'm gonna kill you for making me worry."

Luffy smiled at Nami, "I told you he will win."

Unfortunately for Smoker, Ace had to throw in the towel. Vergo had just been too much. No matter how Smoker hit him, Vergo seemed to just not feel it. And what Nami warned him about happened. By their eight match Smoker was on his last leg, feeling tired. That was when Vergo fought.

Ace ran into the ring, his face showing the emotion that was passing through him. Seeing Smoker beaten and hurt. "I've got you."

"As predicted, Smoker was just no match for Vergo's endurance. Our winner Vergo!"

Ace helped Smoker sit, as the paramedic looked him over. Nami, Luffy and Chopper watched from the sidelines. Hoping Smoker was ok. Relief washed over them, when after a few minutes, Smoker was on his feet.

Nami clenched her hand into a tight fist. She felt guilty. She shouldn't have taken Doflamingo's offer. Fighting two matches in one week? Zoro himself almost got beaten. And Smoker… She should have known better. She should have never.

The ginger hair girl jumped in mild surprise when she felt someone hold her hand. "Luffy?"

"You didn't know this was going to happen." Luffy had a serious face. The face he only showed when one of his friends needed him. "You believed they could have won. And there is nothing wrong in thinking that."

Nami felt tears burn her eyes. "I'm sorry…"

A/N Hopefully this will be the last fight for a while. I'm not good at them. T-T
