Smarter than he appears
As far as the rest of the crew was concerned, Luffy was as dumb as a post. They knew he was a great tactician when it came to fighting, and they knew he was hella strong, but when it came to using his rubber brain, then, well they didn't have a lot of faith in their captain. Zolo didn't believe this so much. Sure, he knew Luffy wasn't exactly the smartest person, but he did have his moments and today was one of them.
Zolo had fallen for his captain, and he had been dropping hints as often as possible but Luffy just didn't seem to be picking up on them. I mean, come on, he had been as obvious as he could without the rest of the crew noticing. Well, he gave up for the day after Luffy had openly ignored his attempts at telling the boy he liked him and went out and leaned against the mast for a nice nap. He was just drifting off when Luffy bounded out of the kitchen and ran over to him. He leaned into the swordsman's face and grinned, making Zolo's face flush slightly.
"I like you too Zolo." and he bounced off to the figurehead. Zolo paused a moment and then smiled. As he thought, Luffy was smarter than he appeared.
End
Heh, Luffy picked up on the hints, he was just playing hard to get. Tee hee, go Luffy. XP
