Just like Nami thought, the honeymoon the married couple went on did help. To the crews relief now they don't have to tiptoe around them just in case they are doing something no one wants to see. For that the crew is thankful.
With that everything went back to normal. Law went back to his ship while the straw hats started to prepare for going back to a regular island. An island with marines. It was fun while it lasted, having to not worry about getting caught or a fight breaking out. The islanders from the islands were all more lenient when it came to Luffy's antics and stomach size. They gave things almost for free to them when they hear that the group are pirates, something Nami is really grateful for.
After sailing the rough waters out of the Lover's cruise and into the next island, here the group is docked away from people. Luffy and the others went to explore while Zoro stayed on the Sunny with the triplets. He doesn't know what everyone else did but it was a good day for him. They docked in the middle of the night so when everyone woke up they ate breakfast with each other then left. Zoro played with the triplets until Lunch, where he cooked and entertained them until their nap, which he took one too, and then went to train in the crow's nest while the triplets play with the toys a few feet away. He honestly can't complain when this is his daily routine now.
Brook, Franky and Chopper are the first to come back. Chopper joins in on Zoro playing with the triplets while Brook sits on the mast to play music and Franky works in his workshop. Thanks to Chopper's animal hearing, he hears the den den mushi ringing over the triplets laughter along with Zoro's. Chopper gets up and goes to the kitchen, where the den den mushi is, and answers it.
"Hello?"
"It's Nami, is Zoro with you?"
"Yeah he's on the deck with the triplets why?"
"It's about Sanji. I need to talk to Zoro, put him on." Nami says with a sigh at the end. Well it doesn't seem like Sanji is hurt otherwise she would be asking for Chopper in stead. She does sound tired.
"Sure, wait a sec." Chopper says putting the receiver down before running to the deck. He calls Zoro, tells him Nami wants to talk about him. Zoro stands up curious about what she could want, he leaves the two to watch the triplets while he goes into the kitchen.
"What do you want?" Zoro answers after picking up the receiver.
"You need to pick up Sanji," Nami says already use to Zoro's behavior.
"What? Why?" Zoro asks both curious and worried.
"He's not hurt or anything. The idiot was just being himself hitting on some girls. Looks like he was hitting on the wrong girl because he kind of got arrested by said girl's girlfriend. Seems she was just mad but we need someone to go get him. Usopp and I would but after learning what Sanji did Luffy disappeared and we are looking for him. Robin doesn't want to, besides he's your husband. Just head to the jail, smack him if you want to. They should have also taken the ingredients that he had with him so make sure you get that too. Alright then bye." Nami says before she hangs up. Zoro puts the receiver down and sighs. 'That idiot,' Zoro thinks. 'But that idiot is who I fell in love with and am current married too,' Zoro sighs again. He walks out of the kitchen and onto the deck where he sees the triplets, well Sora and Kuina, happily watch Brook playing. Touma is focused on the kitchen door which he starts to smile when he sees open and Zoro comes out. Zoro goes to pick up Touma.
"So? What was it?" Chopper asks.
"Sanji being the skirt chasing idiot he always is. He got arrested for harassing a girl."
"And he didn't fight?" Chopper asks amazed.
"The person he arrested is a girl who happens to be dating the girl Sanji was harassing."
"Oh."
"Well, I'll be back." Zoro says walking off the Sunny with Touma in his arms. He didn't want Touma to act out like he usually does when he's not with him. He's gotten better but Zoro didn't know how long it was going to take and did it take long. When they left the sun was setting and now it is completely dark. Touma is having the time of his life having mom all to himself but Zoro is started to get annoyed and angry that he couldn't find the jail. Zoro rounds the corner and there it is. Zoro smiles, happy to finally find the place. Getting near the front door Zoro is nervous, what does he tell them? The truth? Well he honestly doesn't see why not. What the point in lying, if no one believes him then it doesn't really affect him, does it? As he walks in everyone stops what they're doing and stares at him. It's like no one's seen a baby before. Zoro walks up to the front desk, standing there waiting for the person behind to notice him. The young man looks up from the papers and sees Zoro his eyes pop out their sockets.
"R-R-Roronoa Zoro!" The young man shouts. The whispers suddenly get louder.
"Go get the chief!" Zoro hears someone shout.
"Listen I'm just here to pick an idiot up." 'My idiot' Zoro thinks.
"And who w-would that be?"
"Sanji Vinsmoke." Zoro says and the man looks at him confused, obviously having no idea who he's talking about. Zoro sighs, Touma looks sad at Zoro, that being the fifth time sighing, worried about his mom. Let's try that again. "I'm here for the skirt chasing idiot."
"Oh, the one who tried hitting on the chief's girlfriends." Chief's girlfriend?
"Yeah him."
"And who is he to you?"
"My husband." And with those two words chaos ensues.
"Let me out. I have to get back to my kids, husband, and friends. I'm the cook, I need to feed them." Sanji plead for what seems like the millionth time that night.
"You are not coming out until someone comes and gets you." The chief says crossing her arms over her chest. Sanji goes to sit down, looking down at the floor, exhausted from saying the same things over and over again. He is also worried. What if no one comes to get him?
In the beginning of the day, he went chasing some girls and before he could go further Nami and Robin pulled him aside and told him he should probably stop. Not only is he married but he's also a father, plus him and Zoro had a big misunderstanding because the swordsman saw him with a bunch of girls and what happened after that? Nothing good.
"Chief!" They both hear someone shout from down the hall. A man comes running up to her getting close to her ear to whisper. "He's here. And with a baby but he's actually here." He pulls back to see her shocked faces. Of all the people to come to her station, Roronoa Zoro is here.
"Really?" She asks still shocked. He nods once. She stands completely still not really able to grasp the news she has just received but is brought back to reality when they hear chaos in the background. She looks over at Sanji, "stay here. I'll be right back." She commands before leaving with the man.
"Are you serious?" They hear the young man ask. Not believing what he was just told. Then they hear an unfamiliar voice.
"Yes, why would I lie. and hurry up, I want to get back to the ship. It's almost bed time." He says frowning. He came to get Sanji and leave but it's taking a lot longer than he thought.
"Roronoa Zoro." Zoro looks up at the chief.
"Yes that's my name."
"Why are you here?"
"Ugh, again. I'm here to pick up my husband." Zoro says.
"He's here for the man who was hitting on your girlfriend." The young man behind the desk says turning to the chief. "Says that's his husband." With that she looks at him, eyes wide open. Zoro moves Touma around and lifts up his right hand revealing a ring. The part of the ring facing them is engraved with the jolly roger. A skull with a straw hat. Yup there's no denying that. She had seen the same ring on Sanji as he grip the bars of the cell and shook them trying to convince her to let him go. Plus he also said 'husband' many times. A skirt chaser like him wouldn't keep saying husband unless it were true.
After the chief had left Sanji thought more. What if Zoro is mad? Nami and Robin would definitely know about this, if not both then one or the other would know, if they told Zoro he would say something like 'leave him' or 'it's his fault,' something along those lines. He should have listen to Nami and Robin. Like always they are right, what is he doing? Chasing beautiful girls that have to desire to be with him when he has, not only beautiful in his eyes, but an extremely sexy husband and three kids on the Sunny waiting for him. He can't be here in a dirty old cell waiting for others to come and get him, especially if Zoro is busy taking care of the triplets, without him because he's to busy going after girls who could care less about him than Zoro who does. Is Zoro mad at him?
"Really?" Sanji hears the chief ask.
"Mmnh-hmmm." He hears someone answer. It's also a very familiar sound.
"What about the baby, him?" The chief asks pointing to Touma.
"He's one of our kids." That voice, he loves that voice. Sanji lifts his head and walks to the bars to get a better look at who's coming. It can't be can it? He's the last person Sanji thought would be here.
"The skirt chaser and you have more than one kid? I never would have thought or believed. Wait but how?"
"You live on the Grandline shouldn't something like this not surprise you." Zoro states causing the chief to laugh.
"True." She says with a smile and Sanji is finally able to see them coming close. Zoro with a very tired looking Touma and the chief next to him. She pulls out the keys, seemingly from no where, and puts the key in the key hole. She looks Sanji straight in the eye. "You are a very lucky man. Well as I said, someone came to get you so I'm letting you out. A celebrity at that." She says still not believing Zoro came to get Sanji. She turns the key and unlocks the cell door and opens it. "Lets wait up front for all the ingredients we took from you." She says stepping to the side to let Sanji out of the cell. Sanji goes over to Zoro and Touma.
"What are you doing here? Where are the other two? Is it just you?" He asks quickly. Standing close to Zoro, one hand on his shoulder and the other cupping Touma's cheek.
"I'm here to pick you up idiot. And the other two are with Chopper and Brook. Everyone else didn't want to come." Sanji stares at Zoro. Is he mad?
"Were you busy?" Sanji asks sheepishly.
"No. I was just playing with Chopper and the triplets when Nami called me." Zoro says with a smile. Ok so maybe he's not mad. All three walk out to the front on silence. Sanji and Zoro stand by the door waiting for Sanji's things. The cook and swordsman stood there silently waiting patiently. Sanji glances at Zoro before looking down at the floor thinking about how he got in this situation.
The young man who sat behind the desk comes up to them with bags. Sanji takes them and they walk out but not before everyone in the building stops and bows to Zoro. Sanji looks confused as he looks at them then back at Zoro who has a slight blush on his cheek.
They walk down the street in silence, well Sanji does. Zoro talk to Touma so he doesn't fall asleep just yet while he switches the arm he carries Touma in. Sanji slows down, face looking at his feet until he completely stops. Zoro who is teasing Touma notices this and stops, turning towards the cook. "Forgot something?" Zoro asks with a smile.
He looks up at Zoro, staring straight in his eye. "Are you mad?" Sanji sounds worried.
"Mad? Why would I be mad? I mean I'm surprised, I never thought you would be arrested or that they would be so nice." Zoro explains.
"I thought that you would be mad at me?" Sanji say relieved that Zoro isn't mad. Sanji starts to walk to Zoro.
"I got use to you doing that a long time ago." Sanji pauses. That stung him. "It's who you are. I am annoyed Nami couldn't pick you up when she was here with Usopp." Sanji started to walk as he zoned out of Zoro's ranting. He's honestly the worst husband, boyfriends and father. It's one thing to flirt with others if he didn't know how Zoro felt. Now is different, he knows how Zoro feels because he feels the same way. And they are married with three kids. He shouldn't be doing that anymore.
Since Zoro got lost and picked up Sanji late, the cook made a late dinner. Once everyone is fed they started getting ready to sleep. Nami and Chopper helped Zoro wash the triplet and put them to sleep before taking a quick shower himself. All clean, Zoro went to bed and started to read. Sanji comes in a little after. He starts stripping some of his clothes so he can go take his shower, especially after being in the dirty cell.
"I've decided to stop flirting." Sanji announces. Zoro looks up from his book to stare at Sanji, processing what he just said. Then Zoro just breaks into a laughing fit. Holding his stomach and tears gather at his one good eye. Sanji frowns. "I'm serious." Sanji says sulking a little bit.
"What brought this on?" Zoro wonders wiping his tears of laughter.
"I know you aren't mad today but you will one day right?"
"Listen, cook, I know you have been changing since we got together but I don't want you to change too much. This is who you are. I honestly don't care if you flirt or act like a fool with other girls."
"But-"
"Are you planning on cheating on me?" Zoro asks and Sanji shakes his head. "Then its ok. Flirting never hurt anyone." Zoro looks down to get his book then looks back up. "And if you do cheat I'll kill you." After saying that he starts to continue reading. Sanji gulped, Zoro honestly meant it by the way his eyes where talking.
Sanji went to take his shower while he thought. He's happy Zoro isn't mad at him but it hurts him to know that Zoro is use to it. He's also happy that Zoro isn't making him change. Sanji thought about what had happened that day. Nami and Robin's warning. Sanji, all washed, goes down to their room to see Zoro had fallen asleep while reading.
Sanji happily looks down at Zoro, ring on his finger. Next Sanji looks at the ring on his finger. Then down at Zoro. He takes the book out of his hand and sets it down on the nightstand. Sanji runs his hand through Zoro's hair.
He's going to stop flirting with every girl he sees. He knows Zoro said it's ok but it's not to him. He doesn't want the triplets to grow up with him flirting with others even though he has Zoro. With that he turns off the lamp.
