Just That
Chopper! Baron, you bastard! Robin! You bastard! Sanji! Stop it! Usopp! N-Nami... Zoro! ZORO!! Give them back! GIVE THEM BACK!!"
---
When Luffy woke up, he could still hear the screams from his nightmares echoing in his head as he bounded up to Sanji, demanding breakfast and leaning over his shoulder to see what meat he was cooking before he was kicked out of the kitchen. Literally.
By mid-morning, those screams were gone but there was still a feeling of uneasiness in the pit of Luffy's stomach as he peered over Robin's shoulder to see what she was reading. He lost interest quickly because there were no cool pictures. He tried to look at the map Nami was drawing too but she swatted him away.
During the afternoon, he charged around the deck with Usopp and Chopper, playing chasing games where the rules were made up as they went along. When they finally collapsed in a heap, Usopp told them stories, like when he had cut down the forest of twenty inch thorns with a single dagger and didn't get scratched once. By then Luffy was realising that nightmares were just that now. Nightmares.
As the heat of the day approached, Luffy temporarily abandoned Merry's head in favour of the mast's shade, which Zoro was already occupying. He slumped himself over Zoro's legs and fell into a nap, feeling at peace.
