CHAPTER 5

All the Strawhats relaxing on the deck after having dinner. Luffy as usual sitting on the figurehead of Thousand Sunny and looking at the ocean. He been avoiding Zoro since then. Zoro notice his captain avoiding him without other notice how his behaviour toward the first mate change. Except for one blonde with curl eyebrow, Sanji.

Sanji sit beside Zoro at the rail where Zoro currently sit. He lite his cigarette.

"What happen to Luffy?" He asked and only for Zoro to hear.

"He been avoiding me." Zoro answered and shrugged.

"I ask him afterward." Sanji reply.

"No. Let me do it." Zoro suggest. Sanji just nodded.

Midnight came. All of the Strawhats called for the night except Zoro, and Luffy still sitting at the deck star gazing and also Sanji who on night shift watch that already in the crow nest.

Zoro lay down beside Luffy turn his head toward Luffy.

"Luffy..." He said. Luffy look toward him with his owlish eyes.

"What?" He asked simply and keep staring at Zoro. Zoro just looking into Luffy eyes. No word come out from his mouth. He sighed.

"Let spar." Zoro said and quickly standing up.

"Your injured..." Luffy said.

"Just light spar won't hurt me." Zoro reply and crave a small smile on his face.

"But Sanji up there..." Luffy try to avoid someone to hear them talk.

"I know you want to ask me about that day. And you heart tell you Sanji knew what happen. You right and only Sanji, Robin and Brook knew about it. I comfirm it myself. Don't worry they won't tell other." Zoro explained.

Luffy nodded and then go to crow nest togather. Togather mean Luffy dragging Zoro there because he already walking to the other direction of the crow nest. Luffy just laugh Zoro off earning a glare from him.


At the Crow Nest...

" What are you two doing here?" ask Sanji who is sitting on the bench smoking.

"Spar." Luffy said bluntly.

"Alright then, I go to the observation room." Sanji reply and try to leave but Luffy hold him up.

"Just sit here." Luffy said. Sanji looking toward Zoro. Zoro just nodded.

"Alright then." He sit again and continue smoking.

"Continue from what we left?" Zoro asked. Luffy took the pipe he on the crown nest wall. Zoro ready with his Wado Ichimoji. The other two sword he place beside Sanji.

"Luffy using pipe?" Sanji amused.

"Owh, wait till you see he use it." Zoro reply with amusing tone and smile.

Luffy and Zoro begin their spar. Sanji looking amused by how well Luffy use his weapon. Now he knew what Zoro meant. He never see his rubber captain using any weapon except his fist. He never see Luffy can defense well with his pipe and counter attack Zoro with it.

After a while, both of the panting slightly from the fight. They decide to sit down and have some rest. Sanji gave them both some water from the canteen can to them.

"Zoro... Why?" Luffy ask without looking at Zoro face.

"I decided myself." Zoro answer. Sanji just listening quietly.

"I broke our promise." Luffy look guilty and sad.

"What promise?" Sanji asked. Zoro sighed.

"Before I agree to join Luffy, I make him to promise me not to do anything would cause me to abandon my ambition. If he does, I watch himself perform harakiri with sword." Zoro explained.

"What?!" cigarette fell from Sanji mouth who shocking to know the promise between them.

"I get in your way." Luffy said lower his head and look down on the floor.

"Idiot!" Zoro using wado tsuka to light tap Luffy head. Luffy lightly massage his head where Zoro tap him.

"But..." Luffy pouted.

"Luffy I did ask you to do that but the other promise I make after Mihawks defeat me nullify it." Zoro said.

"Huh...?" Luffy didn't understand. Zoro just shake his head.

"You remember what I said that day?" He asked Luffy again. Luffy look into Zoro eyes. A flash of memory where Zoro defeat by Mihawks come into his mind and Zoro promise to him.

Luffy nodded

"When I defeat by Mihawks, I realise I can't be the greatest sworsman until I defeat him. If I cannot become the greatest Swordsman, I can't even protect your dream to be Pirate King. Then if you fail to become Pirate King my dream is worthless." Zoro explained again.

" The world Greatest Swordsman is fit to be by Pirate King side. You yourself said that." Zoro continue again. A small smile appeared on his face. Sanji who listening also smile.

"The promise still there." Luffy said. A wide smile appear on his face.

"Shishishi... Thanks Zoro. I feel good after I talk to you." Luffy laugh and the guilt is washed away from his eyes.

"Me too, Captain. Me too..." Zoro reply.

Luffy lean to Zoro side. He then imediately fall asleep. Zoro look at his captain and smile fondly. He sit comfortly and also drift to sleep. Sanji who standing up looking out from the window crow nest didn't know both of them already fall asleep side by side.

"Rest assured Luffy, I won't tell anyone about it." He said and turn toward both of them. He shocked looking at both of them them asleep soundly. His sweatdrop.

"This two idiot!" Sanji said and cover them with his blanket.

A pop af afro head from the stair startled him. Brook come in and saw Luffy and Zoro sleep peacefully. He looking toward Sanji curiously.

"Yohohoho... Sanji san it's my turn now. What both of them doing here?" Brook said.

"They just doing some sparing. Eventually tired up and sleep." Sanji reply. Brook nod.

"Let them sleep and watch this two shitty head for me. I get some sleep before breakfast time." Sanji said again. He then climb down the stair. Before he fully out from the crow nest he stop and told Brook something.

"They knew you know what happen at the Thriller Bark that day. Just don't tell other about it. Let just the five of use only knew about it. I expalin to Robin later. " Sanji then smile and climb down from the crow nest.

Brook looking silencely toward his captain and the first mate. The feeling of proud and honour bottle up in his chest. He knew he choose the right crew all along.


Morning come. After breakfast the Strawhats doing there job as usual. Both Luffy and Zoro being scold by Chopper when he see them with new injuries on them. Sanji explain to Chopper about the spar between Zoro and Luffy. He comfirm that both of them just spar lightly. The monster trio then scold by Nami afterward.

"Hei guys! I saw something!" Ussop yelled from the front deck.

Someone or something drift toward them. Ussop with the help of Franky fished up that 'thing' onto the deck.

"Fufufu... We fish out a fishman. And the one with the infamous one." Robin joked. Ussop and Franky sweatdrop from Robin joke.

Fishman. An injured fishman on Sunny deck Nami feel alarmed. Ussop and Chopper already took their place behind Zoro back. Luffy come foward and poke the fishman body.
