Hallow135 requested more Werewolf Luffy, and Ashlielle requested something to do with cats. I decided to combine the two. Enjoy!
(dragoscilvio also requested something to do with cats a while ago. Initially I had decided not to do that and to do the squirrel one instead, but it came up again, so yeah.)
Non-humans: WW Zoro, WW Luffy
The Strawhats docked at an island. As they took care of the docking necessities, Nami and Usopp turned to Zoro.
"If we leave you to guard the ship alone, are you going to throw a tantrum?" she asked sternly.
Zoro scowled. "I can't help it if I get lonely! I'm not exactly great at telling time—I don't know when you'll be back!"
Usopp stuck two fingers in his mouth and whistled. Luffy came running up a minute later.
"What's up?" he asked, looking around at the three of them, his tail wagging slightly as always.
"If you two guard the ship, are you gonna be okay by yourselves?" Nami asked.
Luffy and Zoro glanced at each other.
"We could try it," Zoro said, scratching the back of his neck. "I mean—company's company."
"Okay, good," Usopp said cheerfully. He patted Luffy's head. "We'll be back soon, okay?"
Luffy grinned. "Yeah!"
Usopp, Nami, and the others left the ship. Slowly Luffy's tail stopped wagging.
"I miss them already," he said sadly.
"I know," Zoro muttered, running a hand through his hair. "Come on, let's go do something."
They were halfway through their third game of Go Fish when they heard a strange sound.
"What was that?" Luffy exclaimed, looking around, suddenly on alert.
Zoro sniffed the air and narrowed his eyes. "It . . . couldn't be . . . ?"
Luffy sniffed as well and his eyes lit up. He and Zoro hurried down to the lawn deck, where an intruder awaited them.
It was a small gray cat. It looked up at them and mewled.
"Kitty," Luffy exclaimed happily. He dropped to all fours and he and the cat sniffed each other.
Zoro remained in a defensive stance. The cat approached him and mewled. They stared at each other for a good two minutes or so.
"Zoro, it's just a cat!" Luffy exclaimed. He picked it up and started nuzzling its neck. "And he's so soft! Come pet him!"
"He's an intruder," Zoro snapped. "This is our turf."
"No, he's a friend," Luffy said firmly. "Right, Ramen?"
"Ramen? Don't name the damn intruder!"
"Ramen's not an intruder!" Luffy protested.
Zoro glared hostilely at Ramen. "I don't like this!"
Luffy held Ramen closer to him. "Zoro, don't be mean to Ramen!"
"What the hell is going on?"
They turned to see the crew coming back onto the ship. They were staring at the scene before them: Luffy, holding and cuddling a gray cat, and Zoro, who looked like he wanted to murder said cat.
"Hi, guys!" Luffy exclaimed, his tail wagging. "Zoro's being mean to Ramen."
"You named the cat Ramen?" Franky said flatly. "Where did you even get a cat?"
"He came up here by himself," Luffy said, nuzzling the cat's neck.
"That thing's an intruder!" Zoro exclaimed. "This is our territory!"
Robin hid a laugh behind her hand. "A turf war with a cat, Zoro?"
Zoro scowled. "You shut your mouth! That cat doesn't belong here!"
"Yeah, Luffy, you really should let the cat go," Sanji agreed. "After all, three pets on this ship are enough."
Luffy sighed and reluctantly released Ramen. The cat gracefully leapt off of the ship and trotted off somewhere on the island.
"Three . . ." Zoro said slowly. "Hey, cook! We're not pets!"
"I'm not a pet either!" Chopper cried.
"You all have tails," Sanji pointed out as he strolled to the galley.
