Since then, Nami now knows Zoro's feelings right after she caught him blushing when Robin just entered the room and greeted him.
"Zoro had a crush~" Nami teased him while poking Zoro's side, making him flinch.
"Then, when will you admit it to her? Now?" Nami looked at him with an expectant gaze.
Zoro looked at her with widened eyes, lowering his voice so that their other friends won't hear them. "Huh? I just figured this out this week and now you want me to confess right now? Are you out of your mind?" He grumbled at her.
Nami just shrugged, "I don't know I just want to win a bet." Nami averted her gaze as Zoro stared at here in disbelief.
"You what? You—"
"Look I already had a bet going on with Usopp but don't worry I haven't told him that you will confess to Robin." she patted his shoulder, "You can do it, Zoro. Win that bet for me." Nami gave him a thumbs up.
"I hate you for that," he groaned, then, "When did that bet happened?" Zoro asked her, he will regret knowing the answer, for sure.
Nami thought for a while then, "I think that time when Usopp didn't pick you up that rainy day. Hmm… That's when you were stuck with Robin, and dumbass never agreed so, we decided to bet on something. Now, the rest is history." she said casually as Zoro just shook his head from what she just told him.
Sighing, Zoro then massaged his temples, "I really don't know why I trusted you about this whole thing."
"It's okay, that's what are friends for." Zoro just shook his head, stressed, from what Nami told him and at that moment, Zoro just looked like he just made the worst thing in his life— not having a crush on Robin, though.
Whenever Nami had the chance, she can't help but tease on Zoro. She just wanted to see his reactions whenever she does something that makes him flustered.
There is a time that when all of them sat for lunch at the canteen, Nami always asks Robin to sit beside Zoro, then Zoro will glare at her but there's nothing Zoro can do. He likes it, after all. Also, she can't help give him a discreet thumbs up whenever Zoro just talks to Robin casually, and when Zoro caught Nami's thumbs up at him, he just shook his head at Nami's antics.
She really wanted to win that bet against Usopp.
But this time, Nami thought of a plan. A really great plan.
Their friends were too excited as soon as they heard Robin has brought her camera to the club room. Thanks to Nami, she asked Robin to bring it since it's okay to bring gadgets as long as they will use it for club purposes. Well, Nami had a different plan for it.
Nami wanted to use it so she asked Robin if she can borrow it. As soon as she got her hands on the camera, Luffy grinned.
"Hey, Nami come here!" Luffy strikes a pose as Nami took a photo of him.
As soon as Sanji, Chopper and Usopp saw him posing for Nami, they, too, followed Luffy, abandoning their notes. They strike a pose beside him as Nami can't help but smile when they did their stupid poses. The four of them strike a pose, whether it was a wacky ones or formal ones. Meanwhile, Sanji even looked for poses in his phone, showing to the others, so they can act like they were posing for a magazine.
But to his dismay, Usopp, Luffy and Chopper act like superheroes. They didn't follow Sanji's plan leaving him alone as he acted like he was in a photoshoot for a clothing line. However, they have compromised on the last pose they made, even Nami let out a cordial laugh when her friends posed.
Chopper was lifted up high by Luffy, Usopp and Sanji. Chopper was laughing as the three brought him up. Nami can't help but smile at her friends as she successfully captured their grinning faces as they did their impromptu poses.
But then, Nami hasn't yet forgotten her devious plan. She then looked at Zoro and Robin, who was busy reviewing their notes. Both unbothered on their silly photoshoot, well they have good reason to be unbothered because they're reviewing for exams.
"Good thing they're busy," Nami muttered to herself.
Her plan was on the run.
Not wanting for the two to notice, she whistled her to seat not too far from them. She checked that the two were still busy reading their notes, not noticing Nami's sly actions. She won't be getting her nickname, "The Cat," if she can't be cunning as ever. As she hid her giggles, she quickly clicked the shutter button of the camera. Good thing, she has set its shutter to silent, but if she doesn't, then her plan won't work. Grinning at what she did, she then took a photo once again, still pretending to check the photos she captured earlier.
Concealing her giddiness upon seeing their first—stolen— photograph captured by Nami, the cat, she nonchalantly settled beside Zoro, showing him the picture of him and Robin.
As Nami thought, Zoro would be flustered upon seeing it, "Nami!" he whispered, hiding his face with his notes away from Robin. He glared at her, as Nami attempts to hide her grinning face from Robin.
Luckily, Robin was still oblivious from the two's antics. "What? I did a good job right?" She grinned at her friend.
"Delete that," he hid his blush, but Nami still see through him.
Nami raised an eyebrow at him, "You sure you don't want that picture?"
"What if Robin sees that?" He said in a hushed voice, not wanting to Robin hear them, fortunately, she wears her earphones so she can't hear them.
"Thank me, Zoro." Nami told him, elbowing his side, as Zoro just hold Robin's camera, not moving away his gaze at the picture.
"She kinda… looks cute there…" he mumbled to himself. "Won't Robin notice these pictures?" he was still staring at his face as well as Robin's.
Nami just shook her head, "Nah, I'm pretty sure she won't even bother to preview the pictures—" Then she was taken aback when Zoro quickly took a picture from his phone.
Nami just smirked, "I thought you wanted me to delete that?"
He averted his gaze, "Shut up." He looked at his phone, he smiled to himself a little, seeing Robin's face look like that despite it was just a stolen picture of them, "Cute."
Nami shook her head, this will be a long way to make Zoro confess to Robin. This is just the first steps.
Their friends still haven't known Zoro's feelings but then, Sanji wasn't oblivious at all. One time, Sanji and Zoro were asked by Nami to clean the club room while some of them were out to buy snacks. He sensed something that there's going on with him and Nami, so he thought this was a good time to confront him that day.
Sanji stopped sweeping the floors then, "Oi, marimo." He glared at him, startling Zoro from his nap
"Why do people keep on disturbing his nap?" He groaned, looking up with a raised eyebrow at Sanji, "What do you want? I'm not that bored to argue with you." He then resumed to take a nap but Sanji just clicked his tongue.
"I know you're hiding something." He crossed his arms.
Zoro flinched, "Shit," Hastily looking up once again at him, "What the fuck do you know?"
He rolled his eyes at him, "Don't pretend that I didn't know what Nami is doing for you. That's old style, shit head."
Zoro tilted his head, "Huh? Care to explain?" Zoro's confused on what he was saying.
He sighed, "You should ask the expert," he pointed his thumb at him, looking proud as ever but Zoro still looked at him with confusion.
"The fuck are you talking about?"
"I can help you with Robin, you idiot!" He groaned, tired of this shit head's too many questions.
"Ha— How the fuck did you know?" Zoro was taken aback from what he just said, "Did Nami told you?" He gritted his teeth. "I should have known I won't trust Nami on this," he mumbled from his breath.
Sanij just rolled his eyes at him, "Nah, I just figured it out especially that day when Nami stolen a photo of you and Robin-chwan."
Zoro widened his eyes at him, making his sleepiness wear off, "What the hell you saw that?"
Sanji just scoffed at Zoro, "You really don't know how obvious are you, huh? Besides good thing the others, also Robin, haven't yet caught up with your antics." He told him casually.
"I'm great at analyzing things, am I right?" Sanji said with a proud grin.
"You're not jealous? What did Baratie do to you?"
"Don't you ever mention Baratie, here," Sanji raised his finger, then sighed, "Eh, I don't care, honestly. As long as I know Robin-chwan is treated good and fairly, why would I be jealous? All girls should be treated like that."
Zoro just nodded at him, he really did make some good points, though he always acts like a douchebag, but then Zoro still doubts him, "Okay, fine so why the hell should I trust you?" Of all people Sanji came in to help him? Does he need to repent for his sins? Why is the heavens above testing him? Is the world changing—
"Do you want my help or not?" Sanji interrupted his thoughts.
Zoro just sighed, "So you're really not joking?" Zoro crossed his arms to his chest.
Sanji tired of Zoro doubting him, "This is a once in a lifetime offer, you idiot. Yes, or Yes?" He looked at him with an expectant gaze, resting his head above the broom's head.
Zoro just scrunched up his face, "What kind of choices is that?"
"You don't have a choice, idiot. So, tell me, is it a yes, or yes?"
Zoro groaned at him then scratching his neck, "Ugh, fine. Yes…" This is a deal with the devil of a cook, he thought to himself.
"Good decision." Sanji smirked then as if on cue, Nami and the others entered the club room, bringing the snacks with them.
Nami noticed Sanji's grin as he resumed sweeping the flowers then shooting Zoro with a quizzical look. Zoro just shrugged at Nami, pretending he didn't know why Sanji smiled like an idiot.
But then to Zoro thought to himself, now Sanji and Nami knows his secret, he just wished that those two will shut their mouth in order for Robin not to know about his 'pathetic feeling' that has been going for almost a month. Although, Nami and Sanji wanted to help him, he already had made this decision to tell Robin how he feels.
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but he will definitely admit to Robin— soon.
