Chapter 11:
Luffy heard Zoro and Sanji enter the room. "Go away…" he muttered to them.
"Luffy c'mon don't be like this we, or at least I, want to know what's wrong here." Zoro locked the door behind him and then sat on the floor across from Luffy.
"why do you make it seem like I really don't care?" Sanji looked to Zoro. "I want to know what's wrong, too." He sat down next to Zoro.
"i've known him longer then you have it may not be like a lot of time, but still." Zoro argued back to Sanji.
"But, you're still making it look like I don't care about him…"
"Well I'm sorry…"
"Just SHUT UP!!!" Luffy yelled, which startled the both of them.
"Well. Luffy, BOTH of us are here for you. you're our captain and our friend...i let myself out to you now you go..." Zoro said.
"Ok…whatever….it's juts stupid Nami, trying to make my stupid disguise." Luffy sputtered out.
"Nami...? What did she do now?" Sanji said as he tilted his head to the side.
"...she said……said that i had to take off my hat." Luffy replied and bowed his head to cover his face.
"oh shit...not the hat." Zoro said. He himself knew how important that Hat was to Luffy. He also knew Nami knew about his hat or the jist about it. "That bitch It's ok luffy, I'll make sure you won't get caught because of anything...and Sanji will too." and looked at sanji to make sure he would.Sanji nodded.
"Yeah. You can count on us." Sanji felt a bit down because Zoro still wasn't much trusting him. He didn't know too much about Luffy's hat. He just knew of his own past, now Zoro's, Nami's, and Chopper's.
"you just finish getting ready..." Zoro said and got up. He saw Sanji's semi-confused look and gave him a look that said 'I'll tell you later'.
"Zoro's right i still have my duties as a captain...Just like shanks does..." luffy said to himself and made himself unrecognizable.
After they left the room, Zoro said" You really don't know about his hat do you?"
"No. I have no idea. I just know it's real important to him. Sort of like how you are with your Wado." He shoved his hands in his pockets. "And me with not being able to watch people waste food," Sanji muttered. Zoro got pretty up close to Sanji.
"Well we all have a 'sensitive' spot don't we?" He teased. Sanji blushed, which made Zoro smirk even more. "But we'll continue this after you know the reason." So Zoro backed off and led them both to the kitchen where they sat down, and Zoro began Luffy's tale.
"Luffy had always wanted to be a pirate, and when he was 7 his idol "red haired" Shanks came to port in his town and used it as a base. Luffy could never really swim and after eating Shanks' spoil of the gomu- gomu fruit never would be able to. But Luffy wanted to be a pirate anyway. He even stabbed himself in the face to show how tough he was...so that's the reason of the scar" Zoro said making the scar line on his own eye. " Then some bandits came in and made fun of Shanks. Luffy felt opted to defend them cuz shanks' crew was out on a voyage when they came back the bandits had thrown Luffy into the water, but shanks save Luffy at the cost of his left arm...and after that accident shanks left for good but before he left he told Luffy that he could never be a pirate, and that's what really got him going. luffy said ' I'M GOING TO BE KING OF THE PIRATES, AND BUILD UP A STRONG CREW, AND FIND ONE PIECE!' and with that shanks gave Luffy his precious hat to return to him when luffy was a great pirate."
"Woah..that's a deep, moving story..." Sanji replied and smiled. "Well, he's got a strong crew and we're getting closer and closer to his goal." He looked out to the sea. "And possibly mine, too. If it exists."
"...i believe it does." Zoro said and gave Sanji a reassuring smile. He thought briefly 'I know nothing of his past, but I know his dream…' Zoro shrugged and then closed the gap between them with a passionate kiss. Sanji was shocked, but responded soon after. His hands entwined behind the swordsman's neck, while swordsman used his own to keep them steady.
"We'll be landing in port in 10 min. be ready." Nami yelled from up top.
Sanji looked up, then to Zoro, with a smile. "Should we create a new name for you for now so I won't need to be calling your name withouth everyone being suspicious?"
"...sure why not?...just not something stupid..."Zoro said.
Sanji blinked. "Well, what name do you like besides your own? I don't care what it is. And I don't want to name you something stupid either..."
"We'll just have to see what fits…" He said back smiling.
Poor Luffy
