Zoro starts to wake up grumbling a little, he felt at peace and didn't want to wake up just yet, he couldn't sleep right being on Luka's ship. Zoro felt something on his shoulder and slowly opened his eye. He is met with the triplets faces extremely close. Zoro smiles at them and pats their heads. He glance up to see who's holding the triplets and sees it's Sanji and he stops smiling immediately. He sits himself up looking around the infirmary, no one else is in the room. Zoro looks back at Sanji who just looks back at him. Now that Zoro thought about it he doesn't know how to face Sanji, he was so focused on getting back to Sanji and the triplets he forgot all about what happened. Zoro's stomach begins to growl loudly, his face turns red. Sanji smiles a little then starts to chuckle.
"Perfect timing. I came to wake you up for dinner, come on," Sanji motions his head towards the door to the kitchen. Zoro takes Touma from Sanji's arms while he continue to hold the other two. Zoro stands up and falls instantly but protects Touma. Sanji turns around, "are you alright?" Sanji gets closer and squats next to him with Sora and Kuina still in his arms. Using his free hand, Zoro holds onto Sanji's arm.
"Yeah, I guess my legs haven't healed all the way yet." Zoro stands up slowly holding Sanji's arm as support. As they walk out the infirmary they look like at couple walking down the aisle especially with the way Sanji is looking at Zoro who is staring down at Touma and the ground. The girls smiled, looking at the way Sanji look at Zoro. They felt a little jealous that Zoro has someone looking at him like that but they thought it was cute that Zoro has someone looking at him like he's the only one in the universe. Chopper gets off his chair and trots to Zoro.
"Are your legs still hurting?" The little doctor looks up at Zoro.
"Just a little, but they're not bad anymore." Zoro smiles at Chopper. He didn't want to worry the little guy. This only made Chopper worry more. Chopper trots to his seat as Zoro wobbles to his which is where the high chair for the triplets are also. As soon as Touma is in his seat the high chair slides to face Sanji who is in the seat at the end of the table where Luffy or Chopper usually sits. Zoro looks at Sanji confused. "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to feed them, you sit there and enjoy your food." Sanji orders Zoro whose stomach growls again. Everyone at the table starts to laugh. Zoro looks down blushing ignoring their laughs. He stares at the bowl set in front of him, it is a big bowl and it smells as good as it looks. With the triplets in their seat Sanji sprints into the pantry for the triplets baby food. As he walks back he quickly grabs the spoons and set everything next to his bowl of clam chowder. Opening the small containers of smashed apple, banana and carrots Sanji sees Zoro is just staring at him. "Well go on and eat." Sanji says pointing to his bowl with the baby spoon in his hand. Zoro looks around the table to everyone staring at him. It looks like they're all waiting for him to start eating even Luffy is waiting but that's thanks to Sanji telling him that if he eats without waiting then the only time he'll be able to eat is when Zoro wakes up and everyone knows his sleeping schedule is bad. Zoro looks back down to his bowl of soup, he grabs the spoon and slowly fills the spoon with some of the clam chowder. He brings the spoon up to his mouth and blows it, opening his mouth he puts the spoon in. He takes the empty spoon out and swallows. He smiles.
"It's good." He says with a smile. Everyone cheers and starts to eat, Sanji smiles after giving Sora a spoonful of smashed apples.
"Tha-" Sanji start as he looks over at Zoro but stops seeing his face. "Zoro?" The noisy table then gets quiet as they all look over at Zoro.
"Zoro, are you ok?" Chopper asks looking worried like everyone is. Zoro just looks back at everyone not knowing why they're so worried.
"Yeah, why?" He asks back.
"It's just that..." Usopp starts.
"You're crying," Luffy finishes. Zoro wipes his cheek and looks at the tears in his hand. He is crying and he didn't even realize it. He wipes the tears but they just keep coming down no matter what and he didn't even know why he is crying it's just coming down on their own.
"It won't stop." Zoro says using both hands now to wipe his tears. Sanji looks at Nami and Robin then they all look at Chopper. Chopper had a feeling he knew why, whatever he went through on Luka's ship must have hurt him but Zoro is strong so he hasn't shown his true feelings. He must have bottled his feelings to much and now it's overflowing. Chopper wants to ask what has Luka done to him but he most likely will lie, avoid the question or give a short answer that didn't really answer anything. He isn't going to tell him anything especially if the whole crew is there so there is only one thing he could do, get Zoro to think about something else.
"Zoro I want you to stay off your legs as much as possible." Chopper says to keep his mind thinking about something.
"I'll try." Zoro nods as he wipes his tears.
"NO! You will keep off you legs!" Nami yells slamming the table startling everyone even the triplets. "I want you to be completely healed before you do anything. Understood?"
"But how am I supposed to get around the ship?"
"Someone will carry you, so who's going to do it?" Nami looks around the table. "Sanji thank you for raising your hand." Sanji looks around then at his hand, one holding a spoon and the other holding a container. "Any problem?" She asks as she looks over at Zoro who is covering his mouth, at least he stopped crying. Zoro shakes his head.
"Are you ok?" Usopp asks looking at Zoro who is covering his mouth while clenching his chest.
"I'm fine." He says as blood comes out his mouth as he smiles.
"Whaaa! Zoro how can you be fine when bloods coming out your mouth?" Chopper shouts and everyone stands up and Sanji looks at him horrified.
"It's nothing, really." Zoro says then starts coughing blood. Chopper runs to him.
"I don't understand? You shouldn't be coughing blood." Chopper starts checking Zoro.
"It's nothing. I just need to rest a while." Zoro gets up and wobbles to the door to the infirmary but doesn't get far before he falls. Chopper runs to him as he coughs more blood. Then all Zoro could see is black and in the distance he hears his name being called.
