"Everyone, listen up!" Luffy called, standing on a chair yet again. "Yesterday's rules were for the whole crew mashed into one list. From now on I'm going to be making separate lists for all of you."
Everyone groaned. Except Usopp.
"Who's first?!" Usopp squealed.
"Zoro is."
"Aw…Why me? Now I'm going to have more rules than everybody else!"
"Serves you right, mossy marimo."
"SHUT UP SANJI!"
"Sanji…" Luffy said. "Remember the rules. You're not allowed to fight with Zoro."
"Then he's not allowed to fight with me either!" Sanji pouted.
Zoro smirked. "Yes I can. The rules say 'Sanji can't fight with Zoro anymore'. It doesn't say 'Zoro can't fight with Sanji'."
Luffy thought for a minute, then grinned. "Hey! You're right!"
Zoro and Sanji face palmed.
"Just get on with it…" Zoro said.
"Fine. Here's the list." Luffy handed the list to Zoro.
"LIST OF RULES FOR ZORO TO FOLLOW
CREATED BY LUFFY
1) Zoro may not get into fights with the cook.
2) Zoro may accompany the captain wherever he would like.
3) Zoro may not go into the kitchen for midnight snacks.
4) Zoro may keep one pet on the ship.
5) Zoro may not randomly jump over the side and leave people wondering where he went.
6) Zoro may not snore and fall on top of his captain at night.
7) Zoro may not eat any leftovers.
8) Zoro may exercise whenever he wants."
"Hey….I thought I could only exercise in the mornings!" Zoro said.
Luffy looked over the list taped to the refrigerator. "Hey! You're right!" he said. Then he grabbed a pen and crossed out that rule.
Zoro mentally fist pumped. Score! He thought. Then he continued reading.
"9) Zoro must support every decision made by the captain unless he feels he shouldn't or doesn't want to."
"Bwahahahaha!" Zoro burst out laughing. "You just contradicted yourself!"
Luffy lowered his eyebrows and tilted his head to one side. "What?"
"Nevermind." Zoro said. "There's only one rule left."
"10) Zoro can do whatever he wants on the ship as long as he doesn't break any rules."
"Whatever," Zoro said. "Hey guys, I'm gonna go train now, since it's morning. See ya!" He left the kitchen.
Everyone just stared. "Stupid marimo," Sanji said. "That rule was disbanded."
