Chapter 11: Spa Day Part 2

~The Boys~

''This feels so nice.'' Zoro said as he sank deeper into the water.

''Yea maybe for us but for those three it doesn't look so good.'' Sanji said while peeking at the Devil Fruit users.

''You have a point there. You guy's okay over there?'' Zoro said as he looked at them.

''Uhhhh Huhhhh.'' Luffy, Chopper, and Brook mumbled. Sanji chuckled at them.

''I hate this, Why can't Devil Fruit users have fun in water too?'' Luffy said as he hung off the side of the hot spring tub lazily.

''I wish we could too.'' Brook said.

''Maybe if we had like a body shield or something we could be in water without getting so weak.'' Luffy said.

It was quiet for a second until what Luffy said finally registered in Chopper's head. Chopper's eyes grew wide and he jumped from his seat excitingly and forgot that he was in a tub full of water and slowly sunk to the bottom. When he came to everyone was surrounding him on the ship with worried expressions on their faces.

''What happened?'' Chopper asked.

''You got excited about something and almost drowned yourself in the hot springs.'' Zoro said as he looked down at him.

''Sorry, I got too excited.'' Chopper said with an apologetic smile.

''What were you so happy about Chopper?'' Robin asked.

''Luffy gave me an idea for a way for us to get into water without getting weak.'' Chopper said with a large smile.

''How are you going to do that?'' Sanji asked.

''Remember the bubbles that everyone used on Fishman Island and Sabaody Archipelago?'' They all nodded. ''We can use a substance like that and coat our bodies with it and it should help us move around in water more freely. It'll take some time to actually work but I think it's able to be done.'' Chopper said with a smile.

''It sounds very promising.'' Robin said.

''Yes it does but once you start making it you'll need to keep quiet about it, we wouldn't want that idea getting into the wrong hands.'' Sanji said.

''You're right about that, there would a lot of people that would be willing to go through some lengths to get their hands on something like that.'' Usopp said.

''WE CAN FINALLY GO SWIMMING WITHOUT HAVING TO GET WEAK!'' Luffy yelled.

''SHUT YOUR TRAP!'' Nami yelled as she punched him in the jaw.

''Didn't we just say that it was a secret you idiot, if I find out that people know about this I'll use you as the ship's anchor!'' Nami whispered harshly.

''I'm sowwy, I promish I won't shell.'' Luffy said with his face covered in knots then he fell back on the deck with a loud thud. (Translation: I'm sorry, I promise I won't tell.)

''You better.'' Nami said.

''I'm going to go look up a few things.'' Chopper said as he ran to the library.

''Chopper you might want to help Luffy first.'' Zoro said as he pointed to the unmoving body on the deck. Chopper smiled.

''Oops I almost forgot.'' Chopper said as he ran to Luffy and changed to his Heavy Point and carried him back to the sick bay.

''Good job marimo.'' Sanji said to Zoro.

''What are you talking about?'' Zoro asked in confusion.

''Usually it would be you getting beat upside the head I guess you've finally learned your place, I was just congratulating you.'' Sanji said with a smirk.

''You're the one who's gonna get beat upside the head if she finds out that you went sniffing around in her drawers while she was waiting for Chopper to wake up.'' Zoro said as the sound of heavy footsteps were heard.

''Stay out of my DRAWERS!'' Nami said as she kicked Sanji in the face. He flew all the way into the water.

Zoro smirked as she walked back from the side of the ship. He was so happy that Sanji got caught that he didn't notice the Nami stop right next to him. Nami punched him in the back of the head and he went face first into the deck.

''WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING?'' Zoro asked in a fit of rage. Nami smiled

''You let him get away with it.'' Nami said as she walked off.

''One of these days I'm gonna kill you.'' Zoro said through clenched teeth.

''Hey Zoro come help me with this-! Never mind.'' Usopp yelled as he walked to the top deck and gawked at the two. He just shook his head and walked back down to his workshop without a single word.

''I guess I'll have to do it myself then.'' Usopp said as he walked.

''He got caught didn't he?'' Franky asked as he stood at the door to Usopp's Factory.

''Yep.'' Usopp said as he started to build himself a new shelf for his designs.

''Zoro got hit too didn't he?'' Franky asked.

''Yep.'' Usopp said.

''Need some help?'' Franky said while smirking at him. Usopp turned around to look at him and smiled.

''You bet.'' Usopp said. Franky smiled and walked over to him and began to help him.

~In The Sick Bay~

Luffy opened his eyes to a bright light and groaned as he shut his eyes closed so they would adjust. He heard faint footsteps and a click of a switch. When he removed his hands from his eyes he could tell that someone cut the light off so he opened his eyes and looked around to see who it was. He was in the sick bay and Chopper was in his favorite chair reading a book. Chopper noticed Luffy's eyes on him so he looked up from his book and smiled at him.

''You're finally awake.'' Chopper said as he put his book down and came up to check Luffy.

''My head hurts.'' Luffy whined

''Well Nami did hit you pretty hard but you should be okay now but stay out of trouble.'' Chopper said to Luffy.

''Are you reading stuff about your invention?'' Luffy asked as Chopper hopped back in his seat and continued reading.

''Yes I am, I can't wait until I get it to work.'' Chopper said.

''Good luck.'' Luffy told him with a smile as he grabbed his hat and headed for the kitchen.

While Luffy was walking he heard Zoro mumbling angrily as he worked out with his weights on the deck. Zoro had a few knots on his head that he was sure Nami gave to him; he would ask him later what happened but right now all he wanted was to fill his stomach with food. Luffy opened the door to the kitchen to see Sanji cooking; Luffy could only see his back since he was getting something out of the oven. Sanji closed the oven door and turned around to see Luffy, Luffy was about to speak but stopped dead in his track when Sanji faced him. Tears welled up in Luffy's eyes as he tried to keep himself from erupting in a fit of laughter but soon he fell back on the floor holding his stomach as he laughed at his cook. Sanji felt a vein pop on his forehead as he watched Luffy laugh at him, he ran to Luffy in a fit of rage and jacked him up by his collar.

''Stop laughing and just tell me what you want!'' Sanji yelled. Luffy tried to speak but he couldn't stop laughing, it had gotten so bad to the point where he was crying.

After a few minutes of Sanji glaring at his captain, who was still rolling around on the floor in his own tears, there was a soft ding that emitted from the oven.

''It's ready.'' Sanji said as he pulled the pies out from the oven and placed them on the counter. When Sanji turned around to face his captain he was sitting quietly on a stool waiting for a piece of pie.

''I shouldn't give you anything because you laughed but I'll let you get away with it for now.'' Sanji said as he placed one piece of each pie on a plate for him and placed it on the table.

Luffy stormed to the table and dug in. Sanji smiled at Luffy as he stuffed his face. When he turned back around to look at Luffy he was back begging for more. Sanji's faced turned a deep shade of red.

''GET OUT OF HERE!'' Sanji yelled as he threw every last pot in the kitchen at his captain as he ran out of the kitchen laughing.
