They sat there in the kitchen. All staring out the port hole, there they saw Zoro, back facing them. They saw all the swords around her, still in their sheath. Zoro set the oil and little cotton on the deck besides her. They all watch as she unsheathed one katana and cleaned it. They looked at each other then back at her.

They overstepped. Sanji and Luffy going so far as to get ready to fight her when they sensed Asura. They didn't have to go that far, as to tell her to throw away some of her swords. That would be like telling Nami to throw away money she got from gambling or Luffy meat he was given to that might be slightly poisoned. Luffy could handle it, the poison and Nami doesn't care if she got money from gambling. It was money. They should apologize to her and just tell her why they said what they said.

Sanji came in to the galley, he sighs as he looks up at the others. He shakes his head with a frown on his face. He looks like a kicked puppy. They all tried to say they're sorry but she didn't acknowledge them. When they tried to get to look her in the eyes she would turn her head away like a child. Sanji was the last one to try. So far nothing.

"Well that didn't work." Usopp says.

"She sure is mad, so much so that she even ignored Luffy." Robin says. They all remembered watching Luffy go over to her. He started talking but Zoro continue to clean her swords. He even did his usual idiotic things but Zoro didn't even crack a smile, she always does when Luffy did his stupid things.

"I don't think Zoro has ever been mad at Luffy before." Usopp says.

"That's because out of all of us here Zoro understands Luffy the most." Nami says. "How do we show we're sorry?" She asks. Zoro's never gotten mad at them before. They've never needed to to apologize to her, actually the only person who has ever needed to say sorry for something is Usopp.

"Well trying to talk to her right now is not getting us anywhere." Robin points out.

"Maybe we should wait." Chopper says.

"Yes, let her calm down a little before we try to talk or do anything. Who knows how she feels right now." Brook says.

"We're just worried about her." Usopp says.

"Yes but she is her own person. We can't order her around, tell her what to buy and not to buy, what to keep and what to throw away." Brook says.

"How long should we wait?"

"Let's try to apologize at dinner. Maybe Sanji could make something special for her?" Robin says, all eyes on the cook. He looks away with a slight blush on his face and nods. The idea of making something just for Zoro gets his imagination going wild. It's happened with Nami and Robin but to think it would happen with Zoro. Sanji is always ready to make something special for the ladies but to think he'll need to think of something for Zoro. He's kind of excited. And he should be. With the change to Zoro's gender, she's changed. She has started to express herself a lot more, she's also started to talk more, and since she always hangs out with Nami and Robin she is starting to act more like a girl too. Her mannerisms are more girly. She brushes her hair, does her hair, twirls her hair in her hand, she sits with her legs closed (something Nami smacked into her) and her clothes are nicer too. Granted they are tom boyish but it's a big change.

To everyone's surprise, Sanji really went all out. They thought the cook would hold back because it's Zoro but they are wrong, he made it seem like Zoro is royalty. It's all her favorites and more. Sadly there is nothing sweet for dessert but he's worked his way around that for Chopper to also enjoy what he has in mind.

Sadly the only one who didn't walk in is Zoro. "Where is she?" Sanji asks. They all just shrug and shake their head. After they discussed on how Zoro felt and that Sanji should make something so they can all tell Zoro they're sorry, they walked outside the galley to see that she was gone and so were her katanas. Sanji sighs. Zoro just as to be as stubborn as a mule. Sanji steps outside the galley and takes a deep breath. "Get your ass out here marimo!" Sanji shouts. "Do you want Luffy to starve?" He asks and in the background Luffy ask why. "We're not going to start dinner until you have started, so unless you want the whole crew to starve and eat cold meals get out here and sit down!" He says. He stands his ground and stands straight, arms crossed over his chest, cigarette in his mouth.

After a minute of silence Sanji sees Zoro at the crows nest, she opens the window and looks down at Sanji, frown on her face, a vein showing on her forehead. He knew saying that would work. She may be pissed at them but she wouldn't let them go hungry because of her, especially Luffy. She lifts her bare foot to the window sill and jumps down. She wore her white tank top and black sports shorts with white stripes down the side. As she walk to Sanji she took her ponytail off. Letting her green hair down. She doesn't give him a second glance as she walks past him. She doesn't look at the others either, still upset at them, as she goes to her seat.

She sits down waiting for Sanji. When Sanji comes to them he serves the ladies their drink and with that dinner starts. Zoro stuffs her mouth with more food than normal so she has a reason to not talk. She didn't want to talk to them right now. Cleaning her swords did calm her down but she would get upset again thinking about it.

They knew what she was doing. She didn't look at them, and stayed to herself. She's ignoring them and they knew that. "Listen Zoro..." Nami starts.

"We are sorry about what we said this morning." Chopper said.

"We went to far. It wasn't our place to tell you what to do with your new swords."

"Hopefully you can forgive us."

"Sorry Zoro." Luffy says taking a pause in eating.

"Hope you enjoy your food." Sanji says.

She could see that they all mean what they say but that still doesn't change what they did. How could they? Well she knows why they did it. She understands. She was unsure about her katanas too but after thinking about it she knew she couldn't give them up. They didn't know that. She can't stay mad at them for worrying about her. She gives them a nod.

They gave a collective sigh of relief. She forgave them. They all got their happy spirits back. Dinner got the usual straw hat atmosphere.

After dinner they ate the some banana bread with dip, chocolate and cream.

Zoro finished and stood to get up but she felt it. She felt her body get heavy, her legs wobbled and her eyes started to close. She couldn't take a step and all she could to was give into gravity and fall. She fell on some empty plates placed at the corner and took them with her as she fell to the floor. Some shattered which made a loud noise and they all turned to her. She lay on her side, tilted as her hair sprayed out like vines, some covered her eyes.
