Chapter Two: Difficult
Several Hours Later
"There is literally nothing on that island." Sighed Usopp as he plopped by the Sunny. Everyone was moaning in boredom. Zoro then saw a worried looking Nami also sitting next to the ship.
"What's up with you?"
Nami glanced up at Zoro, who was crossing his arms. She pointed up at the ship.
"They are still in there."
Zoro blinked, realizing what she was saying, then quickly hurried on the ship. He looked around the Sunny trying to find Luffy and Hancock; no go.
"Oi...where IS that idiot?!" He huffed, a bit worried. He burst open the door to the aquarium and sighed in relief. Luffy was just showing Hancock all the fish.
"There you are you are. You've been in here for several hours!"
Luffy and Hancock looked at him with confusion.
"Ah! Zoro!" He giggled. "Doesn't seem like that long! We've just been in here the whole time! Hancock likes all the awesome fish!"
"Y-yeah! They are really nice fish!" Stuttered Hancock. Zoro rubbed his temple and spun around.
"Alright. Come on. It's time to go do other things."
Zoro then left, and Luffy glanced at Hancock.
"We should do this again sometime."
Hancock stopped.
"Is he asking me out for a date? That's what this is, isn't it?! He wants to do THIS again? What did he mean? The fish or..." Luffy started poking her and she broke out of her daze.
"Um...d-do what again Luffy?"
Luffy then seemed a tad serious.
"The fish."
Hancock frowned slightly, then giggled awkwardly.
"Ok."
XXXXXXXXXX
Dinner came, (Which Sanji was allowed to be untied from the mast) and soon everyone retired for the night in the Sunny. Hancock already had a small tent set up and slept next to the ship. Only Zoro was seen, lifting several heavy boulders. He was calm...then he heard an all-so-familiar shout...
"OIIIIII! ZOROOOO!"
Zoro's eyes widened and he felt a very familiar sensation on his shoulders.
"God no..."
"COME HERE ZOROOOO!" Luffy shouted and Zoro was sharply flung through the air to the top of a large tree, where he banged his head hard on the trunk. Luffy was grinning while Zoro got up screaming.
"I am SERIOUSLY gonna KILL you someday!"
"...sorry..." Luffy muttered. Once they both settled on top of the large tree, Zoro lay back nonchalantly.
"So what was so important that you had to almost kill me to place my on top of a tree?"
Luffy looked skyward and began whistling.
"Some...things..."
Zoro raised his eyebrows.
"Luffy. What things?"
Luffy then rubbed his neck oddly and stared into Zoro's eyes with a stern expression.
"Look. I trust you immensely Zoro. And I won't be able to keep this to myself with the others since I'm such a bad liar." He stopped and looked down. "But I'm telling you so that I can forget about it, and because I know you won't tease me or overreact or anything."
Zoro listened and crossed his arms.
"Aa. I won't tell. What happened?"
"Everyone seems to believe I'm asexual...why is that?"
Zoro made a startled noise in his throat, then leaned closer.
"Oi...don't tell me you like that Warlord back..."
"No..." Luffy kept looking around nervously. "I mean...I'm not sure...I really don't know."
"You need to figure it out. What is going on in your head right now? I can't help you unless you clear your head and be honest."
"I am being honest Zoro. It's just..." He didn't finish. He peeked out from under his hat with frightened eyes.
"I don't like Hancock...not in that weird way. But...she does. And...in the aquarium she kissed me..." He started pulling leaves off the branch. Zoro's eyes widened.
"No shit?"
"No shit."
Zoro ran his fingers through his hair.
"Well...we'll leave the island soon anyway-"
"But that's not it Zoro." Interrupted Luffy. "It's not all about Hancock."
Zoro rested his head on his hand.
"Oh?"
"It's about Nami too."
Zoro smirked.
"What? Do you 'like' that bitch?"
"Maybe..."
Zoro lifted his head up and rubbed his chin.
"Wow...I never would have thunk it...You and Nami eh?"
Luffy nodded happily.
"Yep!"
"You serious?"
"Yep!"
"Good luck with that! She'll kill you if she finds out..."
"...yep..."
Zoro laughed and elbowed his captain on the shoulder. Luffy's smile then faded.
"But I don't want to disappoint Hancock. She's saved my ass so many times..." He sighed loudly and flopped on a branch.
"Well, I'm not really the best person to give advice, captain." Zoro said, now stern. "But what I WILL say is this; if you don't love the Warlord, then you don't love her. Alright?"
"Aa." Replied Luffy tiredly. "I'm gonna go to sleep here Zoro..." Then he immediately began snoring. Zoro facepalmed and began climbing down the tree.
"Man...I didn't expect THAT..." He muttered and he headed back into the Sunny for a night's rest.
XXXXXXXXXX
Nami couldn't sleep that night. Zoro had told her that nothing bad happened...but...she could sense it almost.
"Why do I keep stressing about something that doesn't even have to do with me?"
A flash of Arlong Park swept through her mind.
"Luffy. Help me."
She froze and felt a bit hot around the cheeks.
"DAMN RIGHT!"
She shook her head and lay on her pillow. Suddenly, strange memories that she had seemed to have forgotten emerged.
"Drum...Island..."
Very faint memories of when she was sick...she remembered...Luffy was annoying the ever-loving crap out of her, trying to make her laugh. A mountain...
"They're my Nakama!"
Nami shot up. She was unconscious at that time...but she remembered being on his back, him climbing the vertical mountain with Sanji in his teeth...trying desperately to get to a doctor.
"God...Luffy..."
He was so worried about them that he climbed a freaking mountain to get them to a doctor.
Nami was in utter shock. How could she have forgotten something like that? He nearly died of frostbite that day. She was full on blushing now, and Nami honestly didn't care.
"That inspiring idiot..." She said as her eyes began to water.
XXXXXXXXXX
Hancock was the first to wake up. Ursula scuttled over to try to assure she was alright, then she sat near Luffy's tree, waiting for him to wake up. As she did so, Nami walked over to her.
"Oi...Hancock."
Hancock jolted, then glared evilly at Nami.
"Oh...it's just you..."
Nami cocked her head at her retort, then crossed her arms.
"What's with you?"
"Luffy's mine...you hear? I don't care that you literally live with him, he's mine...alright?"
Nami scoffed and narrowed her eyebrows.
"What makes you think I like that idiot?"
"I have reason to suspect...plus I think he's possessive about you. He did say "My navigator" instead of "The navigator" when he introduced you after all..."
"And that proves anything...how?"
Hancock stood up and pointed her finger in his face.
"Luffy is MY beloved...alright? "
Nami slowly pushed her finger out of her face and closed her eyes in calm irritation.
"He's asexual though...I couldn't get him to like anyone if I tried."
"Oh really? Yesterday proved otherwise..."
Nami's eyes shot open.
"W-what?"
"He was getting into it yesterday...I wouldn't call that 'asexual'"
Nami began to snap.
"What the hell are you talking about you bitch?!"
Hancock began blushing like a little girl, than quickly shook it off and walked away.
"Nothing that concerns you..."
Once Hancock was out of sight, Nami stared up the tree at the still sleeping Luffy in shock.
"Luffy...what the hell have you gotten into now?"
Uh oh...Hancock and Nami getting all uppity...Don't forget that they are girls!
Nami: *snaps fingers* Oh, what the hell do y'all mean by that, huh?
*washes eyes* Um...*cough*
Robin: *puts on nail polish and mascara*
Oh god...no...
Hancock: *starts wearing designer clothes like she's a Pretty Little Liar*
AAAAAAGGGGGHHHH! *runs out of and crashes into a tree* .
Anyway...I hope you like this chapter! (And between Luffy and Hancock...NUUUUU LAAAAAUUUUFFFFYYYYY! Y U DO DIS?! Y U SMOOCHIE HAMMOCK!?) XD
