Hi everyone! Wow, I never knew reviews could be so addicting! Especially the ones asking for more. So here you are!

Well.

Okay.

So…..

Yeah.

Did Zoro just…?

And thus, Luffy's brain started working again. At least…it went back to its normal standards.

Which included a near constant demand for food. After all, when confused, EAT! In fact, when not confused, EAT! When recovering from a near-fatal-all-out-battle-for-the-fate-of-the-world fight, EAT WITH INDECENT PLEASURE!!!

And as Luffy was stuffing his face, it occurred to him that maybe Zoro was trying to eat him. But no. That other personality, the one that came out when Luffy had to get "serious"(he cringed as the word appeared in his head) or really POed, reminded him that he knew perfectly well that was a *kiss*. Really, what was that side of him doing, rearing it's frowning face when there wasn't even an enemy nearby!

So, dear readers, what do you think happens when one as innocent such as our captain has been kissed? Deflowered? Forced to face the fact that as a human, even if he is rubber, he is a sexual being??

No really. Any ideas?

Well, I don't know where your mind, being firmly entrenched in the gutter, strayed to. But Luffy decided that he needed some advice. If only he had a stable father figure in his life, like Shanks! Too bad he was off who knew where doing who knew what.

Hey…that gutter is looking rather appetizing….

::cough:: Back to the story. Luffy needed some advice, and since Zoro was an obvious "no", thinking about Chopper and sex was just *wrong*, Nami would probably make him pay 10 belli for every word, Nico Robin smacked people with an extra hand for interrupting her reading, and Sanji obviously didn't know what he was doing (I mean, hearts in the eyes were just so unfit for a future pirate king!) there was only one choice left.

"Hey Ussop, can we talk for a sec?"

Our resident liar extraordinaire was currently working on a new, super spatula with one hundred built-in extra tools for Sanji, who complained that he just didn't have good enough equipment on this hell-hole of a ship, for crying out loud! How did anyone expect him to make Nami-swan real gourmet dishes??!

"What? Oh, sure Luffy," Ussop replied. "What's up?"

"Nothin' much. You know anythin' bout sex?" asked Luffy curiously.

After the first sputterings and wide-eyed stares, Ussop's voice(a little higher in pitch with incredulity) announced, "Why, my conquests are known throughout the land! I myself had a harem of over 50…no! A hundred gorgeous women at my beck and call. After all, you know what they say about men with big noses…"

It went on like this for about 10 minutes, the tales getting taller and taller, and Luffy nodding every once in a while with that intelligent expression on his face that clearly said he didn't understand a word.

"So," he said after Ussop was finished bragging about his sexual prowess, "sex is mysterious."

Ussop bent his head with the weight of the ensuing sweatdrop. "Yes. Maybe you should ask Zoro. I bet he's not a virgin. Either, I mean of course," he added hastily. .;;

At that moment, they both looked over toward the swordsman in question. He'd chosen a little less conspicuous place to train today (probably thinking to avoid a certain rubber man), but Luffy could still see the sweat glistening off his well-toned muscles and richly-tanned skin. It was a small ship after all was said and done. The sight made Luffy's mouth go dry, a decidedly unfamiliar sensation.

And hey! Wasn't Ussop blabbering on about girls in that speech of his? But Zoro's a boy!

And you wondered when Luffy would stumble across that glaringly obvious fact.

Luffy immediately stomped over to said boy, and declared loudly, "What's with you Zoro?! You're a guy!" At which point, everyone turned to look at their captain with raised eyebrows. Is it just me, they all thought at once, or is Luffy getting stupider by the day?

Well, Zoro for one, did NOT want to have this conversation in front of his crewmates (especially that Robin chick. There was something…shifty about that woman). So he proceeded to drag Luffy into a storage room below deck.

Where he immediately pushed Luffy against the wall, again(really, does the man have to imagination?), and whispered, with his mouth close to his captain's ear, "Would you like me to show you what a guy can do?"

"But, but!" Luffy protested, "Doesn't that make you gay?"

Zoro stilled. "So? You have a problem with that?"

Luffy blinked. "No…" he said slowly, "but isn't it kinda…unmanly?" He was, after all, worried about his reputation as future pirate king!

The swordsman leaned back to look into Luffy's face and said, with droopy eye-lids, "Anything about me seem…unmanly….to you?" Luffy looked down, and gulped. "Besides, Sanji's straight, and look at him."

Luffy smiled fully, right in Zoro's face (leaving him a little dazed, lemme tell ya), and said cheerfully, "Good point!"
