Trying to Nap

Zoro let out a lazy yawn from where he lay in his favourite napping spot on the Thousand Sunny, a soft almost none see able smile came to his lips as the sun bathed him in its warmth while the sound of the waves lapping against the side of the boat lulled him into a comforting sleep. Slowly he closed his eyes and with a peaceful yawn he allowed his body to totally relax and-

"ZORO! ZORO! WHERE ARE YOU!"

'Just ignore him, just ignore him' Zoro thought to himself as he stayed stone still in his position not moving a single inch 'If you are lucky he may never find you.'

Screams and shouts echoed throughout the boat, mainly coming from Luffy while others came from the others yelling at him to be quiet. A sudden loud bang followed by the familiar voice of Sanji came to Zoro's ears making the swordsman lips turn into a smirk.

'It seems that I am in luck today, Sanji must have decided to pick a fight with Luffy for being so loud while his making lunch' Zoro thought with a relived sigh as he allowed himself to relax once again.

Once again Zoro allowed the warmth of the sun to relax his muscles and the sound of the waves crashing against the side of the boat to lull him into a peaceful state. Wiggling slightly to get more comfortable Zoro let out a soft yawn and allowed himself to slip into a peaceful sleep that-

"ZORO! WHERE ARE YOU!"

'Just great, now Sanji has joined Luffy' Zoro groaned out as a hard frown appeared on his forehead 'Why can they not just understand the importance of my naps for?'

"ZORO! WE NEED YOU!" Nami cried out causing Zoro to let out a low growl of annoyance, "WHEREEVER YOU ARE WE NEED YOU TO COME DOWN TO US!"

"Like hell I am," Zoro muttered as he allowed his body to become one with the boat, "I have been told I have a lot of fortitude for a reason. I am not about to go to them all so I can be stringed into playing some stupid game just to shut Luffy up."

With a dark frown on his face Zoro allowed the calming rocking motion of the boat to sooth his nerves and the warmth from the bright sun calming his tense body. Slowly the sound of the waves against the boat's side overpowered the other's voices and allowed Zoro to once again become lost in a blissful calmness.

'Perfect' Zoro thought with a deep relaxing sigh 'Now I think it is finally time for my nap...'

With a large sleepy yawn Zoro allowed himself to be lulled asleep as his friends wondered around the Thousand Sunny looking for their missing swordsman. Time passed by as Zoro slept on, missing the strange sounds and cries of excitement coming from the others and the flashes of bright colourful items and the wonderful smells coming out from the kitchen. Through slowly as the sun began to lower in the sky Zoro slowly began to wake up finding the warmth from the sun missing.

"Man that was a great nap," Zoro yawned out as he sat up, "I knew if I kept my fortitude strong then I would finally be able to get some sleep."

Without a second thought Zoro let out a large yawn and lazily stood up, rubbing the back of his head Zoro walked out of his hiding spot only to let out a loud cry of surprise and jump backwards as his Nakama's crowed around him happily and shouted out together as one;

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZORO!"
