FRANKY! SUPER! Well I had this chapter done a day ago, but my computer wiped it, I don't know how or why, but it did so I'm sorry if this seems rushed... Oh well. Anyway, I have another ZoLu in the process that's an AU, woot woot! The outline is almost done so you should see the first chapter here sometime this week. Now, there's FrankyXRobin in here, cause I love that pairing too (sorry that it's a very fast realization...). Also, after Brook's chapter, this will officially be 'finished' but I'll keep adding chapters like Shanks, Ace, Boa, and some others… Suggestions? Maybe Garp? (And I'm doing a redux on Sanji, I don't give him enough credit, especially since I just got done reading chapter 485 of the manga… made me cry.)

Jealousy

-----

BANG!

"WHOOOO!! So COOL! That whole rock just EXPLODED like nothing!!" Luffy gushed while staring at the destruction that was caused by a single cannon from the new ship; Thousand Sunny.

"Of course! All the weapons were handmade by me, so of course they're going to be SUPER awesome!" Franky announced, striking a pose.

Usopp grinned wildly as he kept on fiddling with the cannon, and took aim at another rock, Luffy right next to him with stars in his eyes.

The speedo wearing man couldn't have seen a more touching picture; Luffy and Usopp back together in the crew after a 'separation'. It's enough to make any man cry, which Franky wasn't doing by the way. He wiped a tear away from underneath his sunglasses, flicking it away. Looking back up at the friends, the Cyan haired man grinned at the pair. Since the reunion a few days ago, they had been insepariteable. Doing everything together from playing a game to Usopp showing Luffy his inventions and how they work (even if it went over the rubberman's head, he still listened with the utmost attention). Everyone seemed very happy with the two practically glued to each other's sides…

"DAMN IT! Would you guys knock it OFF?! I'm trying to sleep!!"

Well, almost everybody.

Franky frowned at the irritated swordsman leaning against the main mast. Dark charcoal eyes watched as the green haired man practically threw katanas at the two with a downright scary glare that made a Sea King look like the Reindeer-Gorilla all small, cute n' stuff. The two had promptly runaway.

Now, why would Zoro be so mad about all this? Isn't it a good thing that Long-nose and the Captain were getting along again, their friendship mended? He watched as Zoro huffed and went back to attempting to get a nap in, the scowl deeper than ever before (If that was even possible, Franky thought if his brows went any lower they'd be at his mouth).

Ah well, the swordsman was confusing him, Franky decided that he should just forget about it and get a soda. With that thought in mind, the cyborg eagerly made his way to the kitchen, smile on his face. Upon entering, he saw Robin at the table with a book in hand while Sanji noodle danced around her, spouting off love nonsense…

It made Franky want to punch the Curly-Cook's face in. He didn't understand, but ever since the events and Enies Lobby, the cyborg had a protective complex over the archeologist. Oh, he knew what it was, but he just didn't really understand how it happened. The protectiveness, the happy bubbly feeling when he was around her, the nervousness, the light stuttering when he spoke to her. Yes, he knew the signs of liking someone he's old enough to know.

A bit of anger welled up inside the cyan haired man as Sanji put a wondrous plate of assorted snacks and the woman replying with a thank you. Franky huffed under his breath, heading for the fridge to get his cola and get out, not wanting to watch anymore exchanges between the two. Before he could get to the fridge, however, there was a tap on his shoulder.

Looking over it, he saw Robin's arm protruding out of his back, a cola in it's grip. Baffled, Franky took the beverage from the hand before it bursted into sakura petals. Looking over to the woman, she smiled at him. Not a smirk, a nice, bright smile, blue eyes warm at they looked into his own. Franky thought she was the most beautiful thing in the world.

"Thanks Robin!" He said, grinning from ear to ear even though he felt like he should be on the ground foaming from the mouth in cardiac arrest with how fast his heart was pounding. Sanji was oblivious (or feigning ignorance) to the whole exchange as he went back to his business in the kitchen.

Franky left the galley after flashing the archeologist with a bright smile. Earlier anger and jealousy gone, in fact, he felt rather silly for harboring those feelings towards the cook earlier, since now he knew no matter what Sanji did, she was Franky's. The exchange had been simple, but he knew the implications, so he could safely say that to himself now.

With a skip in his step, Franky set out to go get his guitar, suddenly eager to play something rather upbeat- Till he noticed Zoro again. The man was wide awake, staring at the deck with his lips thinned out to the point that they weren't even there, scowl doing the impossible and deepening further. Franky blinked as realization suddenly crashed into him like the Sea Train. It only proved it more when Luffy and Usopp ran by to head towards the kitchen, and steel eyes tried to stab through the sniper's head:

Zoro was Jealous of Usopp.

The ridiculousness of it all made Franky want to laugh; the fearsome demon swordsman jealous of the cowardly long-nose. He stifled his humor though, he knew the seriousness of this… it hadn't been but six minutes ago that he was in Zoro's exact position!

The difference being though, that Luffy and Zoro had been in a relationship longer than anyone's been in the crew (Nami had told him about their relationship back at Water 7, and how she found out). Luffy, being the rubber idiot that he is, isn't even realizing he's neglecting the poor swordsman, even though said man is too proud to say anything to Luffy…

Oh

Turning around, the cyborg hastily made his way back to the kitchen. There he was met with the sight of the three youngest members on the ship were planning on playing a game of tag. An idea struck the man, and he tapped Luffy on the shoulder. Big ocean blue eyes met charcoal grey.

"Na, Franky! You wanna play too?!" The exuberant man asked, bouncing on his feet and a face splitting grin on his face.

"No, I have some plans for a super awesome weapon I need to draw out." Well, it was partially true, but he didn't need to know that. "Why don't you ask Zoro-bro?"

There, the seed was planted. Franky just stood back and watched his handy work play into motion. Luffy's eyes widened, grin getting wider.

"YEAH! HEY, ZORO!" Out of the kitchen and flung to the mast, Usopp and Chopper hurrying to catch up.

Heading outside, Franky watched with a grin as Luffy bounced in the swordsman's lap, trying to convince the man to join in on the game.

"Come on, play with us Zoro! Please?"

"No."

"Plllleeeeeaaaasssseeee?"

"No."

Even after a small kiss on the cheek and a neck nuzzle from the Captain, he wouldn't give in.

"Oh give it up Luffy, he doesn't want to play because Zoro is actually a giant chicken in a human disguise!! Why do you think his hair is green? It's a wig!" Usopp announced, pointing at the green haired man accusingly.

Franky shivered as the atmosphere suddenly dropped several degrees. Uh oh.

"Really?! Zoro's a giant chicken?!" Both the deer and Luffy shouted staring at the swordsman with bugged out eyes.

That seemed to be the final straw for Zoro.

"Usopp…"

There was a reason why people call Zoro a demon, and if the murderous look in those silver eyes or the dark tone the man had used to say the sniper's name were anything to go by…

"Zoro! It's no fun if you only chase one pers- AHHHH!!!!"

"ONIGIRI!"

Three swords out, a sliced up railing, the Captain, Sniper, and Doctor screaming and running for their lives from the rampaging man…

At least the scowl on the swordsman's face wasn't so deep anymore. Franky sighed as he decided that he should probably start working on repairs.
