We have fun new characters in this chapter! And a bj, too. Luffy vs a certain rookie, and that rookie vs another rookie. I'd really appreciate some reviews. I haven't had any since chapter 19. Enjoy~

"Kitchen…" Zoro whispered in Luffy's ear when they were going to bed. She smacked him. "C'mon, it'll be fun." Zoro was no longer trying to pressure her with it, just wanting to get her flustered and annoyed, cause when she was annoyed but not in an angry way, her lower lip stuck out and he secretly found it adorable. Not that he'd ever say that.

No kitchen sex. It was what she wrote everytime. I'm tired, no making love tonight. Zoro huffed but didn't protest. It wasn't as if he would want to do it when Luffy didn't want to. The young man loved seducing her, getting her hot and bothered but not when she clearly didn't want to. Not every night would be a night both of them wanted to get dirty, though there hadn't been a time yet that Luffy wanted to and Zoro didn't.

In bed, Luffy wearing a nightgown tonight, Zoro said, "You know I'm not serious when I'm trying to convince you about the kitchen, right? That I respect that you don't want to?" he asked, not wanting to seem like he was pressuring her when she was uncomfortable.

I know. You're just trying to be annoying. Zoro grinned. "Good. See you in the morning," he said simply and flopped down on the bed next to her. She smiled softly and went to sleep easily, looking forward to the next island and getting out of the fog, though they found Brook in it. And she was the reason they went on board, so she was happy with that.

The nymphs never sang, or listened to songs. After all, none of them could make a sound. So, hearing humans sing in town had always secretly fascinated them. They played instruments, but never used the voices they didn't have. Ace and her would listen to the humans singing from behind things, or in the trees. The rest of the nymphs had been curious, but never went out of their way to listen. But Ace and Luffy didn't do things like they did. So, Luffy was happy that they had a musician now, even if she couldn't partake in the music he made.

"No starting fights on this island," Nami commanded the crew when they were nearing the next island. "Now that Luffy and Zoro have high bounties, getting further in the Grand Line will make marines and other pirates want to come after you. We don't want to attract more attention. We already all have bounties, but your guys's are abnormally high."

"Why do you get to decide this?" Zoro asked blandly. "We like fighting, why shouldn't we have some fun?" Luffy nodded in agreement. Some of the others sighed, knowing that it was pointless for Nami to tell them not to when they would anyways, or at least attract attention by fighting one another.

Nami huffed and pointed her finger at him and Luffy, who were standing together. "Not everyone wants their lives in danger!" she shouted. But you became a pirate, Luffy pointed out. Doesn't that mean putting your life on the line?

"Not recreationally! Now that I have a bounty, people are gonna be after me, too, and I'm not crazy strong like you are!"

"I'll protect you, Nami-san!" Sanji shouted almost automatically. Like he didn't even know he was doing it anymore. Like Zoro couldn't help being snotty to him as often as possible. The navigator huffed. Robin was smiling pleasantly from behind the group, Nami on the deck above everyone. Brook was smiling, but he was always smiling after joining them. No matter how many times Robin, Sanji or Nami hit him, he was still overjoyed to be there in the first place.

Usopp and Chopper were on Nami's side. Luffy pouted. But I want other people to fight with me! I love fighting with Zoro but we can only do so much, y'know? I don't get to go full out on him, she complained on her board. Nami scowled, and once again told them not to fight.

"What if we're attacked? No way in hell will we run away if we're attacked. We have bounties to uphold, you know," Zoro reasoned. Those who didn't want the bounties groaned, not wanting to be reminded of it. Sanji scowled, thinking of his horrible wanted photo. Robin and Franky just looked amused, while Brook was the only one to have no bounty.

Nami sighed, before conceding. "Fine, if you are attacked, then you can fight back. But don't pick a fight!" Zoro and Luffy huffed, arms crossed. "Anyways, this island is a lot more populated than the previous one, and so more thugs and pirates come here. Marines also stop here, so we're going to dock at a side of the island that isn't super busy, like we did at Water 7. Sanji and Usopp will buy food. Robin and I will go shopping. Franky, Brook and Chopper will watch the ship. I know you two won't sit still. Go explore," she finished. Luffy beamed.

How much money is needed? she asked. Each person who was going on the island got a bag full of berries. Enough for a ton of food and water, and for Robin and Nami to splurge, like usual. Luffy didn't make too much, wanting to be able to use that power if something came up in town.

As they sailed close to the island, they noticed there were many pirate ships docked, and Nami looked nervous. Luffy walked up to her, and patted her leg. Are you okay to go? You don't want us to come and guard you or something? She cared about Nami being scared. Luffy didn't want her crew mates upset.

"Robin is strong. Don't worry. Besides, I'm sure you and Zoro will get into some trouble which would be worse off for me in the long run," Nami reasoned, though she was looking at Luffy with fond eyes. "Thanks, though. I would say keep Zoro out of trouble, but it would be pointless." The nymph grinned and ran back to Zoro, jumping onto his back.

Let's go to the shadier side of town. Then maybe someone will pick a fight and we'll have to fight back. Zoro grinned and nodded, loving the way Luffy thought. "We'll have some fun. Why don't you put the gasmask on? Then people will recognize you more," he offered, though it was quiet so the others didn't hear their plotting.

Luffy nodded, grinning widely. As soon as they anchored the two branched off from the others, heading towards the part of the island that they saw and the ship purposely avoided. Zoro was running with Luffy sitting on his shoulders. As soon as they were out of sight, Luffy formed the gasmask and put it on. It really did look creepy.

Both she and Zoro wondered how anyone would react when seeing all of her. After all, the wanted poster just showed her face, and half of her face at that. She looked young in it, with her wide eyes, but her small nose was hidden. Looking at her fully, she looked anything but intimidating. Shorter than four feet tall, wearing a simple dress and having the the wide, bright eyes similar to a child didn't do well to make her seem intimidating.

They wandered into the darker parts of the island, and walked around, looking for spoils. Luffy pointed to the wall of a damaged shop, wanting to go look at the wanted posters she saw there. There were quite a few, and she beamed when she saw her own. Looking at all of them, hers was definitely the odd one out. There was only one other woman, but she looked clearly older than Luffy.

Her photo was of her eating a piece of pizza, which made Luffy laugh. Everyone else looked so intimidating and then there was Luffy, the only thing creepy about her the glare and gasmask she was wearing now.

"Pretty pricey guys on here," Zoro commented. Luffy jumped down and grabbed all of the bounties on the wall higher than 100,000,000 and put them in order of highest bounty to the lowest. Let's go shopping, she wrote with a sly grin. Zoro laughed and swung her back onto his back.

Since they weren't allowed to start fights, they couldn't just target anyone. They had to save up their "self-defense", so we looked for anyone high on the list. There were nine of them that were on the posters in Luffy's small hands. She was looking for "Eustass Kid'' and "Trafalgar Law'' while Zoro was searching for the others.

Many people watched them pass, but recognized them. Luffy paid no attention to their scoffs about her size. If they were allowed, she'd beat the crap out of all of them, but Nami's rules were strict. They found a loophole, and wouldn't risk being unable to use it.

After walking around for quite some time and having no luck, Luffy's stomach growled, despite them eating on the ship already. The only place they found that was still open and in relatively decent shape was one near the edge of the town they were at and was nearer to the rocky area that was pretty much empty but for a few homeless shelters and tents.

They bought a ton of food, and scarfed it down, Luffy's gasmask on the table next to her plate. I hope we find one of the top guys. We're not the highest of them, though.

"Well, we'll just cause enough trouble to get higher bounties," Zoro replied smoothly. "The top one sure looks original." Luffy looked at the poster and agreed. Luffy really did look very simple compared to so many humans. She wore the most boring clothes and no accessories but the locket she had from Zoro. Well, she liked what she wore and wasn't exactly looking to impress any humans.

Do you think he wears makeup? Luffy wondered. "Probably." She was just about to reply when Zoro grinned, and pointed out of the door. He slammed the berris on the table and got up with Luffy to go outside. There was their number one target. Lucky! He was a lot bigger than both Zoro and Luffy. Especially Luffy, and he was dressed quite eccentrically.

His clothes look heavy. Can I go first? They were acting like they were going to take turns playing a game. Zoro took her bag and leaned against the wall. "Go ahead. But how do we get him to want to fight us?"

Luffy picked up a rock and threw it across the area at Kid, and hit him in the face. "Well, that's one way," Zoro said simply. The man hadn't noticed them before, and had just been minding his own business, even if he did look incredibly cranky.

He turned around and the glare he gave Luffy made her shiver, sensing a good fight. Zoro glowered, suddenly wishing he hadn't agreed to let her go first. She might defeat him and then what? Maybe he had a strong first mate or something.

"You picking a fight?" Kid shouted in a threatening voice. "Pipsqueak. Shouldn't your parents be around somewhere?" He seemed to have just noticed that it was what looked like a little girl that had just thrown a rock at him. She took off the gas mask, not caring about being recognized. She just wanted to have fun.

Since she couldn't reply with any speech, she picked up another rock and threw it harder this time, very hard, straight at his goggles lense. It broke it, and she grinned. She moved away from the building and Zoro, who was watching apprehensively, but trusted that Luffy was definitely strong enough. Even though she only used it as a last resort, she could just banish anyone who threatened her too much. Lucci still hadn't been found after she banished him back at Enies Lobby.

Plus, she could heal herself in real time. He didn't need to be worried. But he couldn't help it, even if he knew it was irrational. The last thing he would do was interfere, knowing it would severely insult Luffy to try and help.

Neither of them knew anything about the guy, what his powers were, just that he was strong. Luffy created a sword in her hand, not wanting to give away her blade arms. Kid seemed to finally recognize Luffy. "You're that gasmask brat. You sure don't look tough," he said in an unimpressed voice. "Why are you picking a fight with me?"

Luffy actually answered, still keeping her eyes on him, and wrote on a whiteboard Looking for someone strong to fight. She disintegrated the board. He glowered, but then smirked, clearly wanting to beat Luffy, the "little girl" that challenged him, for no adult would start a fight by throwing rocks.

Kid held out his hand, and metal started coming from everywhere and pooling at his hand. Luffy's sword was sucked away, and she grinned. She transformed her arm to see if it would affect her and she immediately started to be sucked to his hand. She made the coating go away so she was pulled anymore. She couldn't fight him with anything metal, so she had to be clever. She didn't get time to think stationary before all of the metal was dispelled, stabbing at her. She created a huge chunk of rock to block it, and destroyed some of the buildings around. Luffy was glad the log pose set quickly. Oh Nami was gonna be so mad.

A few of the metal weapons had gotten her, and her dress was torn, blood on her skin. She jumped up on top of the rock wall she'd created as a shield. Zoro's swords didn't seem to have been sucked away, thankfully.

Luffy jumped down and healed her injuries. Kid was sizing her up. "What kind of fruit is that?" Luffy shrugged. "You against talking or something?" The nymph shrugged again. Luffy grinned, coming up with an idea. She changed her arms into a blade. He loked at her like she was stupid, and sucked her forward with that megnetism power. Zoro jumped up, looking worried, but Luffy formed a rock in her other hand and when her metal arm collided with his hand, she slammed the chunk of rock into his face with her other hand, breaking his goggles completely. He staggered back, and Luffy moved too fast.

It had been blatantly underhanded, but she didn't exactly fight while keeping honor in mind. She created seastone, and poked him with it, dropping down after her arm changed back to normal form. Kid was furious, but the draining feeling of the little piece of seastone made him stop and think.

Luffy jumped backwards when he swiped his hand across to cut her. He gathered more weapons, creating a massive hand. His face was bloody a bit, but not nearly as bad as a normal person's would be after being slammed with a chunk of rock.

"You little bitch!" he shouted, and swiped at her. The giant hand was slow, and she jumped up and on top of it. Her size really was actually an advantage, which she had come to realize. With big men like this guy, she could easily maneuver around him. Lucci had been different, he was smarter and had gotten a grasp on her abilities. Her only weakness that anyone knew was her head. She was out of the game when it was slammed into the stone.

Luffy would never let anyone get her head again. Luffy ran along the hand, but he repealed it like previously, and the metal skewered her, sitting into her everywhere. She was thrown back, and fell on some sharp objects. She hissed, and Zoro shouted her name. She rose from the ground, and Kid was grinning at her bloody body.

The nymph put her hand up to tell Zoro she was okay. She healed her worst wounds as she ran forward, coating her entire body in metal, just daring him to use his power again. But he wasn't stupid. It was clear that if he sucked Luffy back, she'd be close enough to target his face or use the seastone he knew she could make.

People were screaming and running from the area as buildings were skewered by scrap metal and weapons sucked from their owners. Zoro hadn't moved like he was chasing his swords, as he'd shoved them under a rock once he saw Kid's ability.

Kid had no move that wouldn't bring Luffy closer. She turned all of her fingers into blades and leapt at him, shoes long gone by now so her toes were jagged again, covered in blood. She stabbed at him, but he repeled her away since she was made of metal, and she went flying. Zoro stepped in and caught her before she flew too far. She was panting, but grinning. Zoro didn't like the blood all over her, or that her dress was in tatters, but Luffy wasn't out of the game.

Luffy formed a harpoon of seastone and a gun for it, shoving the huge weapon into it and aiming it at Kid. She shot it and he dodged, only she was holding onto the end of it so she flew towards him while he wasn't expecting it. She slammed his face with a block of seastone, breaking his nose. He growled, and gripped around her throat, glaring at her with rage.

She grinned down at him, not at all scared. He lifted her up high, and she wrapped her legs around his neck before flipping him over and onto his back onto the stone. She was panting, having been the only one to really move anywhere.

"LUFFY! Marines are here! Wrap it up!" Zoro called, though he was grinning, seeing just how smart she was in a fight. Kid stood up, staggering still and breathing heavily before he grabbed a sword that was lodged into the ground and began a sword fight with Luffy, even though he was heavily injured. This was the only part of the fight Luffy was disappointed with. He was no comparison to Zoro.

She kicked him in the crotch hard with a metal foot before she heard shouting as marines came. "Luffy!" Zoro called. She nodded, and Luffy grinned at Kid before bowing and running off with a wave in his direction.

"YOU LITTLE SHIT! I WON'T FORGET THIS!" Kid roared. Luffy jumped to Zoro, who grabbed her and carried her under his arm, sprinting off into the woods instead of into town. They didn't want to ruin Nami and Robin's day too quickly. The city had been quite large, so they were mostly unaffected by it.

Luffy was laughing and panting while Zoro ran with him away from the city and also away from the fight scene. "That was awesome, Luffy!" he said, grinning like a mad man. "Though we probably just made an enemy other than the marines and World Government."

Luffy liked Kid. He was fun to fight and was good practice to learn to fight bigger humans more effectively. She could see how she must have been annoying to him, and condescending without saying a word. She was covered in blood and bruises. He'd gotten her real good when he repeled all of the metal.

After they didn't hear anyone following, they slowed near the coast. They had no idea where they were now, but didn't care much. Zoro set Luffy down and she sat on a rock to heal all of the little wounds that hadn't been serious enough to worry about during the fight. She fixed her dress as well.

Luffy was very tired after the fight. "That looked pretty fun," Zoro commented when Luffy was normal looking again. "I'm jealous. Though I would have been useless against him without being able to use my sword attacks."

"That really was quite the fight," someone said from behind a tree. Luffy and Zoro jumped up in surprise, not having known anyone else was out there. "You took my target," a man said, coming out from behind the tree. Luffy groaned, sitting on the ground. She was too tired to fight this guy, the other one they'd been looking for.

"Seriously, both of them were here?" Zoro asked in disbelief. He had his swords out when Trafalgar Law walked up.

He leaned against a tree. "I'm not like Eustass-ya, I'm not gonna attack you," he said calmly. Both Zoro and Luffy felt no bloodlust from him, and were sure he wasn't going to attack. Zoro had fought a lot of people before, and this guy was no threat at the moment.

"Then what do you want?" Zoro asked. Luffy stood up and made herself a new pair of shoes, slipping them on.

"I'm curious about Gasmask," he said simply. Luffy looked sour at the name, not liking it anymore, she wasn't even wearing it regularly! I hate that name now, Luffy wrote to Zoro. He smiled, and then addressed Law. "We're not gonna tell an enemy about Luffy's powers. You watched the fight, you've seen enough."

Law looked amused. He looked a couple years older than Zoro and Luffy. "Is she human?" Law asked, not phased by zoro saying they weren't going to give anything away. "And who said I was an enemy?"

You're a pirate, we're pirates. That means you're an enemy, Luffy wrote, though she was curious about what Law wanted.

"Pirates don't always hate each other. The yonkos Red-Hair Shanks and Whitebeard are not enemies. I'm not saying I'm a friend, but I'm not gonna suddenly kill either of you or your crew. You sure have caused them a lot of trouble," Law said.

"What do you want?" Zoro asked suspiciously. Luffy watched the rival pirate closely, trying to figure him out. She felt he wasn't going to do anything, and he didn't give off a bad feeling like Kid and CP9 had. Man, she needed to fight more people. She'd only had two opponents really, besides Zoro, that is. And the Franky Family, though she's thoroughly lost that one.

No, I'm not human, Luffy wrote. She watched Law's reaction with a blank stare. He didn't seem surprised. "I thought so. You clearly don't have a devil fruit since you were handling seastone. I'm not gonna ask what you are. Not like you'll tell me. I will say your fight thoroughly entertained me."

Luffy walked to Zoro, and he held her hand, wiping away a bit of the blood on her knuckle with his thumb. "I didn't expect two of the pirates with the highest bounties this far on the Grand Line to be romantic partners, though." The man just sounded interested. "Though I wouldn't want to be strong and have someone weak with me."

Zoro was watching him suspiciously. "Are you just here to do small-talk or did you have a reason for approaching us?" he asked. Law replied that he just wanted to talk, but if they wanted to leave he wasn't going to stop them.

"I'm not an enemy," he said once again. "You may consider us rivals, but unless you're after the One Piece, you're no enemy. At least, you've done nothing to turn my crew into one."

I don't care about human stuff like that. I just want to have fun.

"Then we're not enemies," Law stated. Zoro thought the guy was a bit creepy, but not a threat and not in a way that Sanji was creepy.

Zoro slowly turned around. "Well, see you around, then," he said, and turned around, though he kept his guard up, making this a test. He'd be ready in case Law attacked. Luffy stopped him, still staring at Law.

You saw my powers, let me see yours, she wrote bluntly. We're not enemies, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Law lifted his hand, and said, "Room, takt," and Luffy rose into the air after a blue dome formed around them. Zoro grabbed her and brought her back down, shoving her dress down since it had fallen up when she was levitated. "I apologize, that was not my intention," Law said when Zoro glared at him and Luffy was blushing.

There was a silence before Luffy and Zoro decided to leave, not really having anything they wanted to talk about with this guy. Luffy thought he was interesting, but did want to leave, too. "Have fun wreaking havoc in Paradise. Maybe we'll see each other again some day," Law said, and walked away.

He was an interesting guy, Luffy wrote, but looked up to see Zoro still scowling. What's wrong?

"He was flirting with you," Zoro accused. Luffy really didn't think so, but jealous Zoro was cute. "He even made you flash him." Luffy thought that was an accident, but it still did embarrass her. Zoro grumbled, and Luffy did her best not to smile in amusement.

I don't think he was flirting, but if he was, I only have eyes for you. Luffy jumped up and latched onto Zoro's back, kissing his ear. "Prove it," Zoro said slyly. Luffy blinked twice before getting an idea. She turned around to make sure Law was gone, before jumping down and pushing Zoro forcefully against the nearest tree.

"What are you-?" Zoro began before he groaned, Luffy moving too fast with slamming his hips against a tree and unzipping his pants before running her hand along his shaft, which hardened the moment she touched it. "That… guy could sti-" Zoro protested before Luffy did something unexpected and licked Zoro once before taking him into her mouth. It was new and she wasn't very good at it, but he was enjoying it based on the moaning.

She personally didn't think Zoro was one to have concern about someone seeing when he thought that the risk of one of the crew walking in on them making love was a turn on. Zoro groaned and moaned, doing his best not to thrust into her mouth. He didn't want to make her gag or uncomfortable, but it was hard no to when his body was telling him to.

He still prefered sex, but this was better than the hand job, even if she was messy and not coordinated. But, they'd never done this before, so it was to be expected. His fingers wanted to fist into her hair and hold her head close, but he didn't do that. He did put his hand on her head, but didn't do anything other than that.

She was so short she hadn't needed to get on her knees. "Luffy, I'm go-gonna-" Zoro warned, trying to pull Luffy's head away, since she didn't like that taste and he didn't want her to feel like she had to swallow.

When he started to pull her back, she grabbed Zoro's hips and slammed him against the tree to tell him she was doing what she wanted and he wasn't gonna stop her. He groaned and came, shooting it down her throat. She coughed a little, but didn't gag, even if it was really distasteful.

She let go of his softening dick and zipped his pants up for him. Did I prove it? Luffy asked with a smirk, even if the taste in her mouth was gross. Zoro's face and chest were red, and he was panting. "Y-yeah," he said. He longed to make her cum on his fingers now, but refused to let any of her show if that Law was still around. Luffy's body was for him to see only, no one else.

Luffy formed a strong mint in her hand and ate it. "Sorry it tastes bad," Zoro said, and Luffy sent him a look. It wasn't like he could willingly flavor his own cum. He laughed, realizing it was a stupid thing to say. "You didn't have to do that. I was just expecting an intense kiss." You didn't like it? "No! It was amazing, it just surprised me. Makes me wanna make you cum, now."

When we get back to the ship. We're gonna be in so much trouble. Well, I only fought back cause he attacked first. I accidentally threw a rock at him. You saw it, right?

"Total accident. No one could hold it against you," Zoro laughed. He swung Luffy up to his shoulders. "Wanna go back to the ship or explore some more? We lost the bags of money, so we can't really go shopping."

I'm worried about the Sunny, if the marines find her. Or Kid.

"Alright, we can go back to the docks then," Zoro said, and started running in the direction Luffy was pointing him, knowing which way they came from and that Zoro would get lost if he tried to find their way back on his own. She was bouncing on his back as he ran, having dropped down to hang like a baby monkey.

They carefully made their way around the mess that was the battlefield, where marines lay. Bloodied and dead with shrapnel sticking out of their bodies. Luffy was watching carefully if Kid was still there, but she heard shouts and clashing, along with that blue dome that Law had made, making Luffy and Zoro think that they were fighting. Though, Kid was already hurt before. Law did say that Kid had been his target.

But, it was a good distraction, since marines were shouting over that fight now, seemingly having forgotten about Gasmask and the Pirate Hunter. Once they felt they were safe, the two started running back towards the place the Sunny was docked.

Luckily, when they got there, no one was panicking on board, meaning there had been no one who went after the ship after Luffy's battle. It was incredibly relieving. Nami and Robin were back, and Nami was standing at the railing, and glared at the two the moment they came into sight. Luffy suddenly wished they'd cleaned Zoro's messy and bloody clothes as well, since some of her blood had rubbed off on him.

"I TOLD YOU NOT TO GET IN A FIGHT!" she screamed at the two once they were on deck.

It was self-defense! Luffy protested, Zoro nodding along. And we might have made a future ally, too! Nothing bad came from it, I'm fine and Zoro's fine.

"Who did you fight and who do you say is an ally?" Robin asked, thankfully not sounding angry. If it had been her orders as captain, Luffy wouldn't have picked a fight, but she hadn't said anything to back up Nami's orders.

I fought Eustass Kid (and won) and then we talked to Trafalgar Law. He was an interesting guy, but said we weren't enemies and we may see each other again someday.

"Eustass Kid has a bounty above Luffy's, and Trafalgar Law's is the same as Luffy," Robin said helpfully. "Who would have thought both of them were on the same island?"

Zoro nodded. "It was strange we met both of them so close to each other. But, Law was apparently after Kid in the first place, and now they're both fighting. Luffy really pissed Kid off. It was the best fight I've ever seen. Luffy's amazing in battle," the young man complimented, grinning down at Luffy, who looked very happy with the praise. "His powers were troublesome at first, but Luffy used it to her advantage," Zoro added.

He has the power of magnetism. I use metal arms, so that was trouble at first, but then I had him suck me forward and slammed rocks into his face. He skewered me with weapons, but I healed alright.

Sanji and Usopp came aboard with two huge carts of food, which the others helped them get aboard. "I heard a huge fight happened in the dangerous part of town. Did any of you have anything to do with it?" Sanji asked Zoro and Luffy casually. Luffy raised her hand. I beat him, though.

"Why don't we talk about it at dinner?" Robin asked. Should someone stay out, in case Kid finds us? "We can eat outside," the captain offered. The others nodded, it was nice outside and some of the pirate ships had left due to marine activity, though it seemed like no marines had come to this part of town. Probably because it was made for pirates. Though, they'd be ready to fight any marines if needed.

Zoro was bummed he didn't get to fight anyone, but watching Luffy had been amazing and a total turn on. He felt such pride at having her being his lover, how badass she was. He couldn't imagine being with someone weak, who he had to protect or take care of. No way would he want to be with a weakling.

Kid didn't come that night, though Luffy did catch sight of a yellow thing sticking out of the ocean near their ship, wondering what it was, watching it while she ate her shishkabob. It swiveled in her their direction before going under the water and not coming back out. She didn't know what it was, but Zoro called her over before she thought about it anymore.

When Luffy and Zoro went to their bed, Zoro had wanted to pay Luffy back for the amazing blow job, but she fell asleep the moment she touched the bed. He should have expected it, since she had been in an intense battle. He didn't want to wake her up when she was so tired. Then, he got a wonderful idea, and vowed to wake up before her the next morning. He'd wake her up with something fun. To start the day out good. They were probably going to be on watch tomorrow anyway, and she could sleep in.
