Sexy times in this one, and some fights. Longer chapter. Enjoy~
Zoro did wake up before her the next morning, and she looked exhausted, not having moved at all during the night, which was abnormal, since she usually moved around, even when being spooned. It was a lot worse when she wasn't in a spoon position or in his arms, moving all over the bed.
He slowly pulled the blankets down, not even bothering to put anything on besides what he was wearing, which was only a pair of boxers. Zoro was slow and careful, not wanting to wake her from anything other than a powerful orgasm. Such a good way to start out the day. He had to repay her for the day before.
He slowly pulled her panties down and off all the way, licking his lips at the sight he was given. He wanted to make her pink and swollen down there, the sight even better while dripping wet onto the bed.
He very slowly ran his finger down her folds, not wanting to do too much and wake her up right at the beginning. He wondered if she'd cum so quickly even while asleep. He slowly wiggled a single finger inside her, gently rubbing it along her inner walls, soft and warm, like usual. Her breathing hitched, but she didn't wake. Just turned her head to the side.
She almost immediately began to get wet and slick, dripping out and down her folds, coating his finger. He pulled his finger out and licked it before moving forward and blowing on her wetness, before licking her slowly, sticking his tongue inside of her, so slowly. She still hadn't woken up, and he wondered just how tired she was. This was the longest she'd gone without orgasming while being pleasured. Usually it was so easy. He took the challenge gratefully.
He used his wet finger to run it along her, wiggling it into her along with his tongue, stretching her open so he could fit more inside. The moment three fingers were in, she tightened around him, more liquid seeping out and onto her tongue. He was bummed she woke up so soon, him wanting to make her cum again and again while she slept.
She was gasping and twitching, even though it was just one orgasm. She was looking at him with wide eyes. "Morning, sunshine," he said casually, licking his wet fingers sensually. Her face turned red, and she sat up before tackling him and ripping his underwear off before she forced him down and sat on him. She was going to top, damnit!
The nymph really tried her best to move, but Zoro had been right. She was so sensitive that when she did her best to move up and down, it just wasn't happening. She scowled, but he gave her an understanding smile, and didn't roll over and force her down. She was surprised when he started moving her up and down, thrusting up. She smiled, glad he was taking her frustration into account and helping her when she couldn't do what she wanted.
While he wasn't fond on not being top, the view was great. She hadn't even taken off her tank top. He wasn't expecting her to jump him, but was more than happy with it. When she started moving her, she lost it, but managed to stay upright. While he loved her being so lost in pleasure, part of him did wish she could go wild. But, he knew it was unlikely to happen, and didn't really care. If she could, great. If not, still great.
She dripped down with every time he lifted her, hands under her butt, squeezing her soft flesh with every lift. The liquid dripped down and started to make its way down his pelvis. He watched it with hungry eyes before taking one hand and wiping up a part of it with his finger before sticking it in his mouth, making her cheeks go bright red. He knew she was always embarrassed but secretly loved watching him do that.
She tightened around him many times, but he wasn't trying to break the record this time, just enjoying their time together, though this was probably the only time she'd be topping. He thrust into her one last time and came, groaning, hips twitching while she clenched one more time, the one that always came when he did.
One of his favorite parts, he lifted her and watched as his cum dripped out and pooled on his stomach. She fell forward onto his chest, blushing when she felt their cum wet her stomach. He grinned and sat her up before licking her clean. He agreed that his did not taste good at all.
She sighed out, trying so hard not to pass out. She valiantly sat up, even if she was incredibly sensitive still, and tried to get off of the bed, though her legs were like jelly. She was still feeling great, but did not want to be imobile. It made her feel weak sometimes. She could fight for her life, but not be able to handle sex without needing a long nap? It was embarrassing.
Zoro got up and followed her. "There's nothing wrong with being tired after sex," he said, putting is arms around her shoulders. "You don't need to force yourself. What if we get in a battle and you're sleepy?"
Luffy sighed, knowing he was right. I just wish I could do more. I can't do anything when we make love. I just sit or lay there, she wrote, cheeks red at the weakness she was showing.
"You can't move because you're feeling so much pleasure. I think that's a plus. Human women don't orgasm twenty times in one session," Zoro pointed out. Luffy sighed. Still. I feel weak. He turned her around. They were both still naked.
"There is nothing weak about you," he said sternly. The nymph pursed her lips. "You're stronger than I am, beat some guy with a bigger bounty than you, defeated the leader of CP9. You aren't weak. And even if you did show a bit of weakness, it's not like it's during a fight. It's in the bedroom, making love. I don't see you as weak when we make love, I see you as someone I am making so lost in pleasure that you turn to jelly. That feels pretty good to know I'm doing that, you know. I don't dislike it at all."
Luffy smiled at him, though she still wished she could do more. Okay.
"Let yourself sleep, Luffy," Zoro said, lifting her up. The skin between her legs was still damp as he tucked her into the bed, where she fell asleep, a frown on her face even as she slept. He didn't know she felt so self-conscious about it. She may feel incredible during it, but he felt bad he hadn't noticed before. For someone who took pride in her strength, being immobile in bed made her feel weak.
He went to take a shower, glancing at Luffy's sleeping face, before going to wash off the sweat and cum on his crotch and stomach.

Luffy and Zoro were on watch, Luffy awake after sleeping a few hours after they made love, both sitting on the deck and playing cards. Luffy had taught him some of the card games the nymphs played, and they were quite difficult. She kept looking up from the cards, wishing they could fight.
"You looking for a fight?" Zoro asked, knowing the look on her face. She grinned and nodded. I feel bad you didn't get to fight. "It's okay. I think it's honestly good you were the one to fight that magnet guy. My swords would'a been useless against him. Besides, it was nice seeing you fight. I didn't get to see any of the CP9 fights."
You probably wouldn't have wanted to see the end of it. When I got my head slammed into the ground. But, the part before that was probably entertaining. I still don't understand why humans call out their attacks. Then the enemy knows your move. You do it, too.
Zoro shrugged. "I don't know. We just do. You don't have any names for your attacks, so even if you could talk, it would be useless. That giraffe guy was ridiculous, but strong in his own way I guess."
Sanji turned into a soap doll, she wrote, before freezing. She vowed not to tell Zoro that, and put her palm to her forehead. Zoro burst out laughing. "What? A soap doll?!"
It's too late to bring it up, anyways. Nami said that he was unable to fight Kalifa. Because she was a woman.
"There's nothing different about fighting a woman. I've fought women, not including you. There was some woman in East Blue and Alabasta, I think her name was Tashi-something. She wanted my swords. Was annoying, and it bothered me that she looked like Kuina. She wasn't very strong." Zoro had told Luffy about Kuina, so she knew who he was talking about. Well, Zoro had told her everything about his life. Nothing was unknown, just like he knew everything about Luffy. They were very open with one another.
I wish I had met Kuina. Then I could fight her and see who's stronger, since we've both beaten you.
"Small women are my downfall." Luffy laughed, grinning. I wanna fight Tashi-something, now. "It wouldn't be a long fight. I think you'd find it boring. But, Smoker might be fun to fight. He's a logia, like Ace is. Made out a smoke, though that is kinda obvious."
Are they marines?
"Yeah. Smoker is a captain and Tashi-something is some lower rank. You know what I don't get? So, she has glasses, right? But then she doesn't wear them! They'll just rest on her head and she'll willingly being blind." That's stupid. "I know, right? What is she thinking?"
The two talked and played games for a while before fighting, though it was punches this time, since they'd never done it before. Luffy didn't have steel punches since that wouldn't be fair. She punched Zoro in the nose a bit too hard, but easily healed it. He punches her in her chest, and even if she didn't have big breasts, it still hurt pretty bad. The punching wasn't too fun, but it was something new and didn't hurt the Sunny at all.
"This would be a perfect time for the kitchen," Zoro commented. "If we didn't already do it this morning, that is." Luffy sighed, and Zoro smirked. He grabbed her butt, and she jumped, turning around and grabbing his crotch. "Hey! That's not fair!" Zoro shouted, holding his crotch. She ran off and he chased her.
The time passed quickly before people started coming back. There were no fights, to Luffy and Zoro's disappointment. Franky had barrels of cola for the coup de burst and other weapons, while Usopp and Chopper had just gone out for fun and Brook was looking for a replacement for his violin bow. Robin and Nami had gone shopping again. They had too many clothes to fit in their closets, so Luffy had made them bigger dressers. She couldn't imagine wanting so many clothes. All she had were the copy outfits from so long ago and then a spare blue dress in case something happened and she couldn't make a new one.
Then she thought, realizing she hadn't dressed as Franky or Brook yet. Franky would be difficult, since she didn't want to be in her panties and an open shirt in front of everyone. So, that one was only for Zoro. Franky really did dress revealingly. Brook would be fun to copy, though she would have no afro. It would look truly stupid.
After dinner, Luffy went to their room, and Zoro followed, wondering what she was doing since she'd grinned mysteriously at him. She was in the bathroom, but the door was open. She walked out in a pair of black panties and an open hawaian shirt, star stickers on her arms.
"NO! DON'T DRESS AS FRANKY!" he roared, surprising her and running over to rip the clothes off. She was shocked. "Do not ever dress as Franky again," he said sternly. What's your problem? she wrote, though she was not angry, just confused and entertained.
"He's a perv, wearing stuff like that. I like seeing you shirtless and in panties, but not as Franky." He pulled the stickers off her arms and she grinned at him before striking Franky's pose, mouthing "super!". "You're really asking for it," he said and grabbed and threw the nymph on the bed, pouncing on her and tickling her ruthlessly until she was crying, thrashing around to try and get him to stop. He finally stopped, leaving her panting, still naked on the bed. She glared at him, but he just smirked. She kicked him off, and he fell off the bed, grinning. She jumped off and formed new clothes. Then she pounced on him, and seamlessly created shackles and cuffed him to the floor. She dissolved his clothes and just stared down at him.
"What are you gonna do?" he asked in a taunt, before she started ticking him. He stayed stoic for as long as possible, keeping his mouth shut before she went for the sides and underarms. It was uncharacteristic to see him laughing like this, but she needed to get revenge. Taking shower, she wrote.
"Oi! Don't leave me here like this!" he shouted, but she smirked at him and threw a blanket over him before going to take a shower. "Brat! Let me go!" But, she took a shower, leaving him shackled to the floor. He was so glad the door was locked.
When she came out, she was dressed, though her hair was wet. She finally dissolved the shackles before fleeing the room. He pulled a pair of pajamas out of the dresser and put them on and went after her, face red in embarrassment. Just for tickling her she did that?! That was completely disproportionate!
"Where are you, I'm gonna kill you!" Zoro shouted, not knowing where she'd gone. The Merry was so much smaller, but she could be anywhere.
"Mosshead, put a shirt on!" Sanji yelled. Zoro started searching the ship, opening doors loudly, angrily. Everyone asked what had happened, but he didn't answer. He didn't put a shirt on, either.
Luffy was hiding in the aquarium, wrapped to the roof of it so she wasn't in the water, but was secure with ropes. She heard Zoro yelling around the ship, and was glad her laughter was silent. He went in the aquarium, and she saw him in there, looking around before he searched the ceiling, and saw her, giving her a glare. She had wide eyes before she fled the area.
He got her when she tried climbing up to the crowsnest, grabbing her and dropping down as she thrashed around, laughing and knowing he wouldn't actually hurt her. He grabbed a piece of rope, though, and she wondered what he was gonna do with it. Everyone watched with confusion while Robin watched with a soft smile, probably still happy with the change Luffy had brought to him.
He slammed the door shut and locked it before ripping her dress off. She wondered what he was gonna do since they already made love that day and had never done it twice in one day. He quickly tied her wrists to the bed frame. They had never done anything like this, so she didn't know what to expect, but was curious. She could break the rope easily if she wanted, but didn't. He grabbed his bandana and wrapped it around her eyes.
She couldn't ask any questions since her hands were tied, and he clearly wasn't gonna tell her what he was going to do. She gasped and her heart started beating quickly when he ripped her panties away. He sure was destroying a lot of her clothes today.
He yanked her legs apart roughly and she was breathing quickly, not knowing if she liked this or not. She had no control in this situation whatsoever, and she wasn't used to that. He wasn't touching her anywhere so she didn't know what she was doing. But, he was suddenly on top of her, straddling her though he still had pants on and she was completely nude.
"Are you okay with this?" he asked quietly. "I'm not gonna touch you if you don't want to." Her breathing calmed at this, and she bit her lip before nodding. She was okay with trying. "If you get uncomfortable, break the ropes. I know you can." She nodded again.
He wasn't rough on anything he was doing, even if he said it was punishment. He just touched her in random places, sometimes pleasuring her and other times just licking her in different places. The part that was different was she didn't know where he was going to touch her or what he was going to do next, which was definitely new.
After awhile, she felt him tie her legs to the end of the bed, leaving her spread out and blushing. "Can I?" he asked, and she knew what those words meant after him asking for it so many times over the months they did anything that involved penetration. She was surprised that he kept her blindfolded, but she nodded, mouth open and panting, as she'd already orgasmed multiple times.
He slid into her with a groan, and reached up to take the blindfold off, though she was still tied up. He touched her body like he was worshiping it, and even if it was kinky that she was tied up, he was so gentle with her, kissing her everywhere while slowly making love. Her legs spread wide made him go in deeper, so slowly.
He was having no trouble controlling himself, even if he'd been hard since the moment he tied her hands to the bed frame, which he was thankful was metal and not wood. She was sweaty and flushed everywhere, dripping wet around him and so soft and warm as he was gentle and slow.
Zoro didn't know how she'd felt about the whole thing, though she hadn't let him know she wanted to stop, so he was going to be as gentle and loving as possible. Even after he came, he stayed inside, draping his body over hers, resting his head on her chest. "I love you," Zoro whispered, kissing where he could hear her heart slowing, which had been hammering the whole time.
She broke the rope in an easy motion and rested her hands on his head softly, playing with his hair in a way he knew was telling him she loved him, too. With his warmth on her and how much he'd just done, she fell asleep, even as he pulled out and untied her feet. He looked at her with such fond eyes. He'd never planned to make her uncomfortable. The young man may have tied her up, but he never planned to do anything rough.
Tucking her under the covers, he crawled under next to her, nosing her still sweaty hair that was messy from the thrashing around when he pleasured her with his tongue or fingers. He didn't know if they'd do that again, but it was a nice new thing to do and she hadn't made him stop. She would have immediately ended it if she didn't want to do it. Never would have been pressured into doing something she didn't like.
He was honored that she let him have full control, when she liked to be in control, at least having some even if she didn't do much when they made love. She trusted him absolutely, and made him fall asleep with a smile.

It was after they showered in the morning that he brought the night before up. "Were you okay with last night?" She nodded. "Would you ever want to do it again?" he asked, brushing her hair softly on the bed, since she was writing and couldn't do it at the same time.
I don't know. It was really different. I'd be okay with tying YOU up. Wouldn't be able to make love since I can't move. I could do other things, though.
"No way. You'd have to force me to the bed," he joked back, noting that she hadn't said she'd want to do it again. "Though you cuffed me to the floor pretty easily." She giggled. That was fun. "Don't go in the fish tank again, though. It scared me," he admitted, though he'd never say that to anyone else. The Pirate Hunter, Roronoa Zoro, didn't get scared around other people. Only for things regarding Luffy.
I won't. But it was a good hiding place.
"Everyone probably thinks last night was weird. That I was running around shouting for you angrily, and then got a coil of rope. Probably was pretty obvious about what that was for, though," he said casually, causing her to blush. He finished brushing her hair and put it in the drawer next to the bed.
Don't say anything about last night.
"Of course not. Last night was for you and me only," he said. They both got dressed, Luffy in a green dress that matched Zoro's haramaki, and left for breakfast. It was the day they were leaving the island, and they were bummed there were no other fights besides the one Luffy had with Kid.
Everyone looked at them strangely in the galley when they sat down, everyone, predictably, looked at them strangely. The two pretended not to notice though Luffy couldn't help the blush. Robin was still smiling that smile, while Nami blushed everytime she looked at them. The rope really was obvious, wasn't it? Next time, if there ever was a next time, Luffy would just make a rope.
"What did you do with the rope last night?" Chopper asked innocently.
Zoro responded smoothly, knowing everyone else had an idea, and said, "Played a game. I don't think you'd like it." Luffy and Nami's face flamed, while Franky and Usopp looked awkward, Sanji looked bitter, and Robin and Brook looked entertained to be honest.
Before Chopper asked for clarification, Nami changed the subject. "So, we're departing today, and it's lucky we've had no trouble even after Luffy's stunt with Kid." She gave Luffy a glare, who just smiled around her bacon. "Franky, I want you to have a coup de burst ready in case the marines show up. Honestly, I'm surprised they haven't yet."
"But I want to fight some marines if they come," Zoro said sourly, Luffy nodding in agreement. Nami gave them a deadpanned look.
"Not everyone wants to endanger their lives and their crewmembers lives," she snapped. Robin stepped in.
"If any marines come too close, you may go wild. But, escape is first and foremost," the captain said, making the couple frown or pout. The food was gone and Sanji was cleaning it up when Chopper said he heard a bunch of shouting from outside. Luffy and Zoro sprinted out, while Nami groaned. Marines!
"No! We're leaving!" Nami shouted and yanked on both of Luffy's and Zoro's shirt scruffs and pulled them down while Franky got the coup de burst ready. Luffy formed a piece of paper and trapped it in a ball before throwing it at the nearest marine ship right before they shot off, Luffy slamming into the wall as they flew. Zoro laughed, knowing she was fine.
Luffy glared at Nami, but she didn't look apologetic in the least. Robin smiled and helped Luffy up as she healed her bloody nose. "Next time, we'll have some fun," she promised. Luffy nodded and erased the blood. Zoro walked up and asked about the ball.
"Come and get us Smokey and Tashi-something" and then a winky face. Zoro laughed, and hugged her. "I hope it makes them angry. Then we can have some fun."
"What are you two talking about?" Chopper asked. "Does it have to do with the rope game?"
-x-
"I finished it!" Franky announced at the railing. He finally finished the cart that zipped around the ship. Luffy, Usopp and Chopper ran over excitedly. "Sit on it and pedal, and you'll fly around the ship at high speeds! Yow! It's safe though, so don't worry about that."
"Is it small enough for me and Luffy?" Chopper asked.
"Yup. The seat is adjustable so you two can go on it and Usopp, since I think everyone else will be 'too cool' to have some fun," Franky replied, looking pointedly at Zoro, who wasn't paying attention as he was napping. "Who wants to go first?" Luffy raised her hand, jumping up and down.
Franky adjusted the back of the seat to sit forward a lot more, and she jumped up and strapped herself in. "Alright, pedal-" but she was already off, pedaling as fast as possible to race around the ship. She would have been screaming if she was able to, since she thought she might be going too fast. But, nothing happened from it and she was perfectly safe, the cart being able to handle her.
It was only a minute before she was back where she started, looking a little dizzy. She jumped off and fell over. Franky laughed. "Maybe don't go that fast again. Alright, who's next?" Chopper got in, and Luffy watched as he pedaled away, though at a much slower pace than Luffy had been.
I was going super fast but it was still safe, Luffy wrote the Franky.
"Of course! My creations may be awesome, but I keep them safe, cause I'm SUPER!" he said and struck a pose, Luffy copying him. But, Zoro was awake, and shouted, "Luffy! What did I say?" in a grumpy voice.
The nymph laughed, and Franky and Usopp looked confused before Luffy ran over to Zoro. He still didn't want her imitating Franky for some reason. He was fine for the others, even for wearing Sanji's tux, but not Franky. Luffy found it funny. Usually, she wouldn't let Zoro dictate what she could and couldn't do, but it really bothered him, so she didn't do it.
Did you see me on the cart? Luffy asked, sitting across from him. He shook his head. I went super fast, and it was fun but kinda scary, too. You should try it. She knew he wouldn't, of course, but still asked.
"Nah," was his answer. I'm gonna go do it again, she wrote and ran back across the grass to see Usopp had just come off of it, looking dizzy. Franky wasn't watching anymore, but Chopper and Usopp were still taking turns. Zoro watched Luffy get on and zip away, smiling fondly.
They were landing on an island that day, after around a week and a half of sailing after the island where Luffy made a new enemy. There had been no marine or pirate attacks, to Luffy's disappointment. Nami was getting frustrated with her, and Luffy was sad about that. She couldn't help wanting to fight strong people. She'd just had so much fun against Kid.
Nami was very different from Luffy, in almost every aspect. They were crewmates, but not close friends. Luffy was closest to Chopper, and Franky was getting there. She helped him out a lot when he needed supplies, and he was a very positive guy. Even though his gang had basically poisoned her, it was all in the past.
Brook was fun, but he still was a bit awkward and insecure on the crew. After all, he hadn't been around people in fifty years. He just liked to sit and watch and revel in company, even if no one was talking to him directly. Luffy also felt slightly disconnected due to the fact she couldn't sing along with him, even though he didn't make any show that it bothered him in any way.
When they were close to docking, Luffy sat on the crowsnest, hoping there was something fun on this island. A fight somewhere or fun places to go with Zoro. When the island came into sight, Luffy clapped her hands for Zoro to look up and jumped down, him catching her easily. She really weighed nothing. She hadn't grown at all since joining the crew, still 3'11 and 50 pounds.
She was wearing a sun yellow dress and had really changed things and put a single flower on the bottom. For her, it was like wearing something completely different. Zoro liked it, though it definitely made her look younger. Nami tried getting her to wear accessories since she looked so cute, but unpredictably, Luffy declined.
On every island so far, the girls, Zoro and Sanji were always the ones to get off on the first day while someone else was on watch duty. Sanji to get food and hit on women, Nami and Robin to go shopping for more clothes, and Zoro and Luffy to just explore or cause trouble.
"If you get in a fight, or something, make sure you keep it far from Sunny. Okay?" Luffy nodded. She smiled at Nami, who gave her a smile. Luffy knew she was trying to understand her, and she was grateful.
The moment they turned a corner, Zoro asked the nearest person if there was a shady part of town. This town was pretty civil and clean, but the town over was more dangerous. Zoro thanked her, and Luffy jumped onto his back. "No shopping?" the swordsman asked. Luffy shook her head, and Zoro broke out on a run to get out of the boring town and go somewhere more fun.
"You know, it's good we are pirates or we'd have to pay for all the damage we do. Or, you did, back when you fought Kid," Zoro said conversationally while they crossed the more empty land between the two cities.
Luffy was about to reply before she jumped off Zoro's back when a hand tried to grab her. The couple turned around, and Luffy grinned. She assumed it was Smoker, since his arm was smoke, and the marine girl was behind him. They both looked cranky. Luffy beamed. Looked like her message reached them.
"Roronoa Zoro! I didn't think you were so childish to leave a message like that!" Tashi-something shouted. Zoro put his hands up.
"That was all Luffy," he said casually. Luffy pointed to Tashi-something's head, since her glasses were there and not where they would be useful. Smoker just looked at Luffy, gaging her strength. After all, even though she looked very young, she had defeated Lucci and killed Spandam.
"How childish! And my name is Tashigi!" she shouted. Luffy smirked. She hadn't been trying to be rude, she didn't know what her full name was. "Are you going to say anything to defend yourself?" Luffy shook her head.
"Tashigi! Don't attack her," Smoker said once Tashigi put a hand on her sword. Zoro was watching with interest, with his arms crossed. "You're no match." Tashigi was offended by this. "She isn't some kid," he scolded. "She's dangerous. Go after Roronoa if you want, but not this girl."
Zoro groaned. "Why do you get the fun one," he complained, which caused Luffy to laugh silently. "Tashi-something, I've already dealt with you twice. And I'm not giving you Wado."
"IT'S TASHIGI! Stop fooling around right now!" Luffy raised her eyebrows, not expecting Tashigi to be such a hot head. Luffy formed a whiteboard and pen, silencing Tashigi when she saw one of Luffy's abilities. Don't be so serious all the time. Life isn't fun like that.
Tashigi glared at her, but didn't speak. Smoker did, having been silent for a few minutes. "Brat, are you human?" he asked. Luffy shrugged. "You gonna say something?" Luffy shook her head. "Well, in any case, you're a loose canon and need to be dealt with. We already know about your little tiff with Eustass Kid and affiliation with Trafalgar Law."
Luffy and Zoro were surprised that anyone knew about them meeting Law. It had been in the forest and certainly nothing special. "You may be a kid, but you're still one of the eleven supernovas and we're gonna squash you while it's easy."
"Luffy isn't a kid, by the way. Just so you know," Zoro said, and on his sword but not drawn yet. What are the 11 supernovas?
"Well, you don't need to know," Smoker said. Luffy wondered if his mouth ever cramped from having the two cigars between his teeth. Maybe that was part of his appearance. He was a smoker, but also made of smoke. Was he smoking himself? Luffy found it entertaining. Are we gonna fight or just talk? Luffy asked.
"Brat," Smoker said. Tashigi ran forward, and Zoro said, "Have fun," before moving away to "fight" Tashi-something. Zoro was sad he didn't get to watch Luffy battle, and that he got stuck with Tashigi, but he was expecting that. Besides, Zoro had been in multiple incidents, Luffy needed to be more well known, even if she had a high bounty. After all, she basically didn't exist before appearing at Enies Lobby.
Tashigi ran past her while Smoker stayed behind, still watching Luffy closely. Neither moved first, waiting for the other. Luffy coated her arms in metal, even if she knew it wouldn't do anything against Smoker since he was a logia. She knew all about that with Ace from his fire powers. She hadn't known about seastone back then, so she had been powerless against him when he used his fruit.
Smoker struck first, and Luffy danced out of the way as his jitte slammed into the ground. She leapt at him, slamming her fist into him only for it to go straight through. He trapped her in his smoke, but that also meant he was solid, and she landed a heavy hit against him, letting her go. She was grinning like a madwoman, and kicked her slippers off.
Luffy heard the clash of swords from a ways away, hoping Zoro was having fun. Smoker towered over Luffy, but it didn't bother her. For once, her enemy wasn't underestimating her. He threw a fist at her, his arm turning into smoke, and she grabbed onto it, wondering what it was like to fly. She wasn't here to be serious, she was here to have fun in a fight. Smoker didn't like this.
"Stop joking around," he said in a flat voice, and Luffy shrugged. Fine, she wouldn't mess around, and dropped down before making seastone fists and punching him in the gut, landing a heavy blow. She jumped up and slammed a fist in his face, but he grabbed the scruff of her dress to hold her up. It almost slipped off, which would infuriate Zoro, but she made sure that didn't happen, and slipped her foot under Smoker's jitte, grabbing it between both feet and pulling, while she gracefully flipped backwards with a hit to his arm, weakening it.
The nymph was disappointed that she was able to get the jitte so easily, but he immediately took it back. But, she grabbed on and bent it in half with a steel covered hand, arm flexing hard to bend the metal. He looked furious, and was able to slam what was left of it into her side, but the area was made of metal, and it just made a clink sound.
She grabbed it and dissolved the tip, wanting to freak him out. But, he didn't lose his cool, which Luffy admired. Props to him. He tried pummelling her with both hands, abandoning the jitte. He landed a good punch to her face, which threw her back a bit, but she landed gracefully on her toes. She would have liked to use blade arms, but he was a logia. She should do something about that.
Running forward as he ran to her, fists ready to go and arms made of smoke, she gracefully jumped over his arm and grabbed it, forming a seastone cuff wrapped around the arm, which suddenly solidified. He lost the cool look and Luffy swiped one of his cigars, dancing away.
"What are you?" the marine asked with a furious face. After all, he had no way to get it off. Luffy didn't know if seastone was breakable or not, and it was tight, too tight to fit over his fist. Luffy did her usual answer and shrugged. "You're not a child at all. How old are you?" he asked. Luffy was sure he was talking while trying to think of a way to fight back now that his weapon was broken, devil fruit nullified, and body weakened by seastone.
Since Luffy didn't want to be thought of as a child, she indicated her age with her fingers. Smoker, to his credit, didn't look surprised. She shot forward suddenly, forming a metal baseball bat and hitting him in the face with it.
She didn't expect him to be injured by it, but he did wince, and reach up to grab it out of her hand, fisting his weakened hand in her hair, pulling it back. Since she was up in the air, much like Kid had raised her, she did the same she did to him and wrapped her strong legs around Smoker's neck and flipped him over. Even if she was under four feet tall, and he was almost seven feet tall, he flipped. After all Luffy wasn't a little kid, and was strong even without her powers. He slammed onto the ground but landed near his weapon and picked it up to brandish against her. She swiped it but she banished it away. He'd probably never find it again, even if it was useless and bent.
He did look surprised at it, and she clocked him in the nose and then punched his throat before using a blade arm to cut an ear off. She was being ruthless, and hopefully the marines would get that.
He hissed at his ear and she kicked him in the side of the face with a metal coated foot, breaking a cheek bone. She was being too fast and brutal for him to keep up while weakened by a very large chunk of seastone.
The nymph kicked up and under his jaw when he grabbed her and slammed her into the nearest rock. It hit the back of her head, and it made her wince, but it was nowhere near as bad as it had been with Lucci. It wasn't a direct hit, so she was fine even if she'd have a bruise later.
He was bleeding in multiple parts of his face. She slashed at him with an arm blade, cutting his upper arm. She rushed at him and he blocked his face and went to punch her, but all she did was pluck the other cigar from his mouth and jump back a few paces.
Wanting to just be a brat, she stuck the cigar in his mouth and crossed her arms, giving him a look. This really pissed him off, and he ran at her, with surprising speed considering he was trapped in seastone, and grabbed her neck, pinning her to the ground and squeezing. He was above her, and didn't notice her change her legs into blades and thrust up into his stomach, pouring blood all over her yellow dress.
She formed another seastone cuff around his wrist that was grabbing her, and bent the hand back so it broke his hand. He coughed up blood on her face, specking her cheeks and forehead with it. She didn't want to kill this guy, but incapacitaet him. Now that he had a mortal wound, and was unable to really move anymore thanks to another cuff, he tried standing up and backing away. She kicked his shin, breaking it, so he fell forward.
It was no fun to fight him anymore. He was useless. She wanted to take a souvenir to the lady Zoro had probably defeated already, and took the line of cigars from his arm, ripping it off and backing away. He glared at her, but coughed up blood. He was in no condition to fight back, but she took a spike and planted it in his leg and into the ground. He screamed, but she did it so he wouldn't get up, even after she dissolved one of the cuffs of seastone, the bigger one.
She edited the other one, giving it a lock that he could undo. She held the key up in front of his face and then threw it hard in the other direction that was aimed at the ocean. So, he could get out of it, but it'd take a lot of searching. Luffy was glad they were nowhere near where the Sunny was docked, on the other side of the island in a more secluded area behind rocks. He couldn't find the Sunny.
She waved at him before running off to show her souvenir to Zoro.
Zoro's fight was much more boring than Luffy's. Tashigi was quite irate with Luffy and her attitude. He hadn't expected much from Tashigi from the start, thanks to the other two times they'd had an encounter, but an angry Tashigi was an annoying one.
"I didn't think you'd affiliate yourself with such a disrespectful brat!" Tashigi shouted as she swung her sword down, Zoro easily blocking it. He slashed up, and she dodged. He had Wado in his mouth, but talked through it.
"I don't think affiliate is the right word," he said in amusement. "Affiliate" was too unfamiliar for someone you were in love with. He attacked, and she was barely about to guard, let alone fight back. This was the problem with only having one sword. You couldn't block and attack at the same time.
"Luffy will probably come running over here soon," Zoro said, slashing upwards and cutting her arm, slicing downwards with his other hand and getting the other arm. Since he'd started battling Luffy regularly, he may have gotten a bit more violent. He was used to fighting someone who could heal themselves so he didn't need to worry about any wounds. It was muscle memory now to attack at full force.
She screamed, and he swiped her sword out of her shaking hands, embedding it in the ground a couple meters away. "There's no way Smoker-san would lose to a child!" Tashigi shouted angrily.
"Yeah, yeah. Do you want me to kill you? Last time, you got mad I didn't treat you like a man. Do you want me to kill you, then?" he asked. He had no intention of killing her, just to waste time until Luffy came. He didn't doubt her strength for a moment.
She was shaking, but glaring at him. "And Luffy's not a child, so you can stop saying that now." He put his sword down, not going to go any further. She was useless now, her sword too far away. "Shame I had to fight the weak one." Tashigi was pissed, but when she tried to get up, he put his sword at her throat. "Well, until she comes back, do you want to go get your sword? I'll keep fighting to pass the time." He had a smirk on.
"Why do you always act so superior to me!"
"Because I am," Zoro said simply. He heard footsteps and turned to see Luffy, covered in blood that clearly wasn't hers. "Finish?" She nodded. Luffy looked at Tashigi and frowned. It looked like Zoro didn't have much fun.
"There's no way you beat Smoker-san!" Tashigi shouted. Luffy grinned, and held up the roll of cigars, which had blood on it. Tashigi's eyes widened in horror. You may want to go get him medical treatment. He was too much fun to kill.
"Is that his blood?" she demanded. Luffy nodded. Tashigi looked horrified. Zoro walked to her sword and handed it to her. It was the ultimate insult, and tears were in the corner of her eyes in humiliation. She couldn't help but try to attack Luffy, who grabbed the sword with a metal hand and snapped it in half.
"And I was trying to be nice and give you back your sword," Zoro sighed. Tashigi backed away and ran off, screaming Smoker's name.
I went hard on him. He may die but it was an accident. It didn't look like you had much fun, Luffy wrote with a frown. Zoro shrugged, and put his swords back in their scabbards.
"I wasn't expecting anything else. I'm jealous you got Smokey. Tell me all about the fight," he said and Luffy walked next to him, writing out what had happened. It was like writing an essay since Chopper wasn't there to translate, but she wrote in detail. Predictably, Zoro was angry when he heard that Smoker almost pulled her dress off. I threw the key to his seastone cuff really far away. They might not find it. But, now they know I'm not a kid, I'm 17. How was your fight?
"She was weak, just like she's been the last two times. But at least she wasn't spewing the same things Kuina used to say. I think she would have really been inspired by you. How you're a tiny woman but still badass. Maybe she could have been incredibly strong, too," Zoro said, though not in a sad voice.
I wish I could'a met her, too, Luffy wrote. She sounded cool. Zoro smiled wistfully. I'm glad you talked about her with me.
"Of course," Zoro replied simply. I should change and clean off the blood. She and Zoro walked around the corner of a broken building, as they'd made it into the more rugged city. She erased the blood on her skin and dissolved the yellow dress, making another and putting it on. She put on matching slippers, and jumped on Zoro's back. Let's look for someone else.
