Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece, if I did, Sanji'll be the only character.

I got one hour to type this up, let's see how far I go...


Chapter 7: That Night with Zoro

"What're doing up here?"

Luna stayed silent.

"I asked what're you doing up here?" he repeated.

"Nothing, just a glass of water." Luna answered. "You?"

"It's my watch, just heard some noises from the kitchen and thought I should check it out..." she took the helm of her shirt and attempted to hide her legs. Clearly he was getting the wrong idea given the fact he kept on glancing at the kitchen. "Where're your pants?"

"Look at me." she demanded firmly.

"Sure." his gaze on her face drifted to her legs.

"N-no." she blushed. "I mean, listen. Sanji let me barrow his shirt for the night, I took off my pants 'cause it was hot before going to bed, then I woke up thirsty so went up for water. I didn't expect you to be here-"

"Every night, we got a man on watch and it turns out to be mine, you shouldexpect someone to be up on deck. You're lucky it was me you ran into." he teased a bit. "What if it was that perverted love-cook? God, you would've been screwed, heh-heh."

"Ha ha." she laughed weakly, thinking of the moment from earlier. "Screwed...yeah, good way to put it...uh, I'll go to bed now."

"Wait a tick." Zoro suddenly pulled out a red apple-like frit, only, it had black and white swirls on it and was the size of a coconut. "I found this a while back, thought you would want to eat it since you hadn't eaten anything yesterday."

She examined it closely as he handed it to her. There were fruits like these in the world? Well, she didn't eat it in front of him, in her mind, she was plotting to throw it overboard later when he wasn't looking. Then again, it looked yummy, the redness showed that it was ripe and the firmness told how crunchy it was. Overall, it looked like...

"An over-sized apple." she said bluntly. "Nice, can't wait to eat it."

"You should, the forbidden fruit are sweet." he suggested before he started off towards the crow's nest. Strange, unlike Sanji, he didn't seem to mind her without the pants...just like Richard...those two, Richard and Zoro, could they possibly be the same person?

"H-hey, Zoro."

"Yeah?" he was already on the hand rail, his hands on the rat lines.

"How often do you and Sanji fight?"

"...a lot, but over little things. I have to say, it's usually him that starts it...why?"

"It's just...every time I think of them fighting, those two, my friends, nly got their fists to brawl with, but you got swords and..." yet again, she refused to continue on with that sentance as she came up to him, she was close enough to feel his cold breath on her head.

"Oh, I get it. You're worried that it's an unfair match if I got the swords and he's got only those girly kicks of his. Don't worry, just between the two of us, I use the back of my blades...if I feel like it." he added under his breath in a murmur.

"You know that story you told me of Kuina a while back?...had you ever loved anyone else?"

Zoro stayed quiet;his answer would be no of course, not even his beloved Luna-"san" would be good enough for him. It sounds pretty harsh, but he's only participating in the game for her body. I know would you readers are thinking (especially Zoro fans), but...to put things delicately, she just wasn't his type to be in a serious relationship.

"...no."

"Then why were you being ind to me the entire day?"

"...a whim perhaps."

What?! Did he just say whim?! A whim, the exact same thing Sanji told her for an excuse. What's with these two guys saying that damn word? This was starting to piss her off; for one reason, she never gets a strait answer, and second, it just annoys her like hell. Quickly, she got on the hand rail to get into full eye contact with him, then grabbed his head with her free hand to pull him into a kiss, eyes closed. So...she just did this...out of annoyance...nice. By the time she let go, her eyelid opened, but in Zoro's place, it was Richard, dressed in black with a white collar and the silver cross, standing beside her in what seemed to be by a lake. She, herself, wore a black blouse over a black, long skirt that dragged over the grass as they walked through a meadow towards the lake. He held her hand as she held his tightly, a bouquet of roses resided in both each of their arms.

The two stopped in front of cement statues of a male stallion, a mare, and a filly; the three horses looked like as though they were playing, the stallion and mare stood together with the filly in the center, it's mouth centimeters from the father's cheek while the mare had her snout close to her daughter's belly, as if to nudge her gently. Luna and Richie evenly divided the roses into each flower holder built in front of the horses. Three plaques were under the horses:

Under the stallion was:

Philip 'Mitch' de Sablé Morgan
December 9, 1965 - July 5, 2007
Our Beloved Brother and Son
Devoted Father and Husband

Under the mare was:

Mary Ann de Sablé Morgan
December 16, 1966 - July 5, 2007
Our Beloved Sister and Daughter
Devoted Mother and Wife

And last, under the filly was:

Samantha de Sablé Morgan
December 2, 1994 - July 5, 2007
Our Beloved Sister and Daughter

"A family of Sagittarius..." Richie murmured as they sat on the grass, but Luna was suddenly pulled out of her memory by something. Zoro was holding her shoulder firmly with a free hand and said,"You already got what you wanted, but don't go throwing it away, alright?"

He must be talking about Sanji or the gift he just gave her. Either way, she gave a nod and hoped down to the deck as he climbed up. "G'night, Zoro."

"Night, Luna-san." he called out quietly to her as she turned away, by the time he reached th crow's nest, he started scorlding himself. "Damnit, why the helldid I stop her?! We could've fucked tonight!"

Silently, Luna went to bed, placing the apple on the table beside her and staring at it before drifting off into dream land.

(Next Day)

Luna woke up rather easily, remember the events from last night; both of Sanji and Zoro's lips on hers. Slowly, she got up and faced the over-sized apple on the desk, the gift Zoro gave her. She picked it up and stared at it, she was really hungry, might as well give it a try, Sanji wouldn't mind. Her mouth opened and then took bites of the over-sized apple...
