The crew of the Going Merry docked about three hours later. They left Zoro in the infirmary as they grouped on the deck to decide on a plan of action. It was fairly simple. Sanji and Chopper would shop for food and medicine, Luffy would accompany Nami to do whatever she was going to do, Usopp would guard the ship, and Robin volunteered to assist Zoro, since he would not be happy if he got left on board. Chopper went to the lower level of the ship to grab the swordsman and apprise him of the plan. But instead of a swordsman coming up, the crew heard a squeal from their small doctor. Exchanging quick glances, they rushed down to see what had frightened the reindeer. They figured it out fairly quickly. Sheets were strewn around the room and several bottles were smashed. Sanji groaned. "Way to make a scene, Marimo."
Nami gasped. "Do you think someone snuck in while we weren't looking and kidnapped him?"
Chopper shook his head. "Even blinded, I doubt Zoro would get taken that easi-"
"THEN WHERE IS HE?"
Everyone jumped at the sound of the captain's voice. He was angry. It was evident that he wanted to know what happened now. Sanji sighed, seeing where this was going. "Luffy, if he didn't get caught, he must have-"
"NO!" Luffy cried, seeing where Sanji was going with this, "ZORO WOULDN'T DO THAT!"
Robin placed her hand on Luffy's shoulder. "It seems to me that we need to go find him, one way or another." She said soothingly. "So should we not begin?"
Luffy ran out towards the dock and almost got off before Robin stopped him with an extra pair of hands. "In case he was kidnapped, we ought to pair up."
Sanji nodded lovingly. "Robin-chwan is so smart!" He cooed.
"We don't know what condition Zoro is in, physically or mentally. So be careful. Luffy, you should team up with Nami. Sanji, you will be with me. Chopper, you and Usopp will stay here."
Luffy and Nami nodded and ran off to the island. Sanji squealed as she announced that she was his partner. Usopp and Chopper seemed glad that they were to stay behind. Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke. "Shall we be off, Robin-chan?"
Robin smiled gently. "One moment, Cook-san."
Robin walked into Zoro's room and picked up the swords laying against the wall. Sanji looked mildly surprised when she walked out with them. "If Zoro wasn't kidnapped, then he must have had a reason to leave. It isn't my place to say he has to stay, but I can give him these."
Sanji looked thoughtful. "I guess. It'd be too quiet without him, though."
"Then let us go and find him."
The pair left the ship.
