Zoro woke feeling rather cold. He looked down where Sora should have been and discovered that she wasn't there. Quickly standing up, he grabbed the blanket and ran down the steps. Zoro stopped running when he saw Sora standing in the middle of the deck. Leaning against the railing, he watched her stand there. The wind blew gently around her as she stepped forward slowly as if doing a dance.

Sora inhaled and exhaled in slow manner, if she was going to get back into her fighting spirit, she'd have to practice everyday. She saw that Zoro was there, so she decided to make him a bit jealous with her sword techniques. Reaching behind her, she pulled out two of Zoro's swords that she found and began twirling them around in a rhythmic manner.

Zoro stared at her swing his swords around and was brought into some sort of trance by her slow moves.

Sora stopped and quickly put the swords away, her stomach starting to give out on her. 'I didn't do anything yet!' She thought to herself as she walked up to Zoro and handed him back his swords. "Watching my skills, were you?" She sat on the floor and dangled her feet down between the railings. "I'm still to weak…" She muttered looking straight ahead.

Zoro sat down next to her as he placed his swords in front of him, "You're not weak. You just need to get your strength back."

"But how?" Sora asked running a hand through her hair.

"Why don't you try eating some solid food?" Sanji's voice appeared behind them. He was smoking a cigarette as he walked up beside them.

Sora looked up at Sanji and noticed that he was back to his normal self again. Smiling she looked back at the ocean, "What kind of foods do you have in mind?"

Sanji smiled as he bit his cig, "Well… you can start off by eating applesauce."

Sora laughed, remembering Sanji cutting up apples in the kitchen a half an hour ago. "All right… but only if it has cinnamon." She brought her legs back to her and grabbed Sanji's hand.

"No, I added salt." Sanji replied sarcastically as he pulled her to her feet.

Sora smiled up at her best friend, "Lets go see how much applesauce you can stuff down my throat." She said cheerfully as she walked into the cabin holding Sanji's hand. Zoro slowly stood up, stretched and followed.

----------------------

As the weeks passed by, Sora began slowly but surely eat solid foods again. And in no time, she had her strength back to normal.

Sora laughed as she sat on the deck with Usopp. "So you really found a giant fish that was as big as an island!"

Usopp smiled proudly, "Yes I did. And he helped me get back home."

"How?" Sora asked giggling.

"I just had to ask it nicely of course!" Usopp said bopping Sora on the nose.

Sora had a giggle fit and Usopp couldn't help but laugh at his ridiculous story as well.

Nami walked up to see them giggling, "What are you guys doing?"

"Usopp's telling me about his adventures out at sea!" Sora said happily.

Nami rolled her eyes, and looked at the map, "We're getting nowhere with this wind. Sora? Could you lend us a hand?" She called over at Sora.

Sora quickly stood up, and dragged Usopp with her. "Yes?"

Nami pointed to the sails on the mast, "Could you blow some wind on those? I really need to get some supplies on the island up ahead."

Sora nodded, "I'd be happy to…" Rushing up to where Nami was, they stood by the wheel. "Do you have to boat pointing where you want?" She asked.

Usopp sat down on the seat behind them. Sora and him had become close friends when she was getting better. He'd tell her stories to cheer her up, and in return she'd eat some solid food.

Sora faced the mast and concentrated, with a few twirls of her wrists, Sora created a current of air. And she pushed forward, making the air push the sails hard and making the ship move fast.

Nami smiled, "Thanks Sora! With this speed of wind, we should reach the island in no time!"

Zoro appeared up on the deck, "Where'd this wind come from?" He asked as the wind blew the sails.

Sora waved her hand frantically, "I did it!" She said with a smile. Walking down, she walked onto the deck and placed her shoes behind the mast so they wouldn't blow away. Taking out her swords that she had bought the last time they were in town she smirked up at Zoro. "Want to play?"

Zoro put on his bandana, and walked down onto the deck, "You read my mind." Placing one of his swords in his mouth, he stood in defense.

Sora smiled and jumped forward at him, both swinging their swords like mad. She'd push him back a few steps, and then he'd take them back and push her further. "You're getting better." She said with a smile as she stepped backwards and then turned around. Running up the mast, she flipped behind his head and went for his neck, she stopped a millimeter away, making the hair on the back of his neck stand up. "But you still need to do better then that."

Zoro quickly turned around and began moving his arms around really fast. Sora also fought back. After a few minutes of doing this, they stopped and stood still. The sleeves on Sora's shirt fell off, along with the long legs of her pants. Zoro's pants fell down, making him blush.

Nami and Usopp leaned over the railing and watched them. Sanji walked out of the cabin and joined, "They playing strip sword again?" He asked watching them fight again.

Usopp nodded, "Zoro got Sora's pant legs and sleeves on her shirt. Sora pants him though."

"Go Zoro!" Sanji and Usopp yelled at Zoro as Sora slashed out at him.

Sora blushed, "You guys just want him to slice my clothes off!" She said frustratedly as she blocked Zoro's swords.

"Yep!" Sanji said without embarrassment. Usopp just blushed and scratched his head

Zoro fought Sora until her back hit the railing. He looked down at her and raised an eyebrow, "Good enough now?"

Sora smiled as she licked his nose, and then kicked him off of her. Nami cheered for her as Sora swung her swords wildly and then they both stopped. Zoro's shirt fell off, making Sora smile. However, that smile was wiped off her face when her pants and shirt fell into shreds. "When did you-" Sora was cut off by Sanji's and Usopp's whistles.

So there they were, Sora in her panties and bra, and Zoro in his boxers. Sora smiled charmingly and continued swiping away at him. Zoro and her clashed swords, and he pushed down on her two with his three, quickly overpowering her.

"And this is where the strip show stops." Sanji said sadly. He walked into the cabin, followed by Usopp and Nami.

Sora breathed heavily and stared ahead at Zoro. Zoro stared at her and they both dropped their swords laughing. "That was a pretty nice stunt you pulled with the mast thing…" He said picking up the swords.

Sora laughed and walked into the cabin to put some clothes on.
