" Chopper buddy get up," said Luffy pulling on Choppers horns.

Not a good thing to do.

Chopper turned to his massive form and grabbed Luffy roughly, " Don't touch my horns !"

Luffy was laughing as he was getting tossed around the room, " Ah ha ha, Chopper your strong,"

Sanji who was already up sat down on the sofa and lit up a cigarette.

He let out a big exhale of smoke and closed his eyes, " Oy marimo...where were you last night?"

Zoro looked at him and grinned, " Why do you want to now ... were you worried,"

Sanji bent down from the sofa to put on his shoes, " The only one who worries among us is Ussop...,"

Ussop who was getting out the staw hat shirts he made from his drawers looked at Zoro, " Hey yeah where were you ?"

Zoro was a bit uncomfortable now, " Ah...I couldn't sleep so I went out to train,"

Ussop looked at Zoro and nodded, " Ohh okay"

Sanji studied Zoro carefully then he looked at something and gave a small grin.

" Oy Zoro...come here," said Sanji trying to keep everybody away.

Zoro gave a small suspicious look...Did he just call my name ? Thought Zoro.

Sanji gestured Zoro to sit down, and he did wondering what was wrong.

Sanji inhaled the cigar and looked up.

Silence...

Zoro looked annoyed, " Oy are you going to tell me why you called me,"

Sanji ignored him and exhaled the smoke, then he spoke .

" So... how was it,"

Zoro looked puzzled, " How was it?.. what do you mean ?"

Sanji looked at Zoro with a grin, " I'm not stupid enough to believe that you were training last night,"

Zoro flinched a bit

does he know thought Zoro.

Sanji bent over to the small table tapping on the cigar making the small bits fall on the ciggarete cup.

" No marimo... I think you were doing something else... or should I say someone else," he said grining.

Zoro turned red... there was no reason to deny it now... Sanji knew...but how ?

Sanji as if reading Zoro's mind grinned even more, " Oy maimo... perhaps you should look at your neck."

Zoro put his hand on his neck, but didn't feel anything, but he got up and looked at the mirror...

As he looked he saw a small red ovalish mark on his neck.

Zoro walked over back to the sofa and sat in silence.

Sanji inhaled a puff on his cigarette and then slowly exhaled, " So... who was it,"

Zoro stood in silence even more uncomfortable.

" Robin- chan," said Sanji knelling his head back on his seat.

" Maybe..." Said Zoro smiling.

Sanji got up and walked off, but from a distance stopped.

" Hey marimo...you better take care of her..."

Zoro smiled and got up and looked at Luffy who was wearing a weir shirt.

" Hey Zoro look," said Luffy turning his back to Zoro.

Zoro looked at the shirt, on the back was the straw hat symbol and at the top it said in black bold letter Monkey D. Luffy.

But Zoro was more happy on what it said below the straw hat symbol...Nakama

" Nice," commented Zoro.

Before long almost all the guys put on there straw hat shirts ( although Zoro insisted on putting on his own clothes) and walked outside to the dinning room and met up with Nami and Robin.

As they came down Nami looked at there shirts and snered, " Were did you get those,"

" I made them, and I also have one for you two," said Ussop proudly.

" I"ll pass," said Nami slowly looking from one guy to the next, then stopped at Zoro and smiled.

" Ah... come on now don't tell me the famous Roronoa Zoro isn't a team player,"

Zoro sat down on the table and glared at Nami,

I'll put on a costume... I'll put on a cloak... I'll put on a black suit... BUT DAMMIT I HAVE MY LIMITS !"

Nami pounded Zoro in the head, " Shut up you'll kick us out with all your yelling.

Robin smiled, " Nevertheless you all look great,"

Sanji grew hearts out, " OH your so modest Robin swan,"

They all sat down and got breakfast and Robin talked to Zoro about something.

" Here," said Zoro handing Robin a badly wrapped box.

Robin looked at the box, " What is it Zoro,"

" Open it," said Zoro drinking his beverage.

She hesitated for a while and slowly opened up and looked surprised as she got out the gift.

" Zoro...its...very... why did you," said Robin skipping through words.

Zoro looked at her, " Its a dark blue sapphire ring... Ussop found it and gave it to me and I just went to a store and got it forged to a ring,".

Robin examined it closely... it had a silver ring, and a blue sapphire crystal surrounded by little diamonds."

" Zoro...why," asked Robin still looking at it.

Zoro looked puzzled, " Why... what else why... I wanted to give it to you for so many reasons,"

Robin looked at him hardly, " What reasons,"

Zoro took a deep breath, " Well first of all... I wanted to give it to you as a remembrance... you know... so you wont er... forget me,"

Robin couldn't help but gasp, " What... Zoro... I'll never forget you,"

Zoro shrugged, " I know but still..."

Robin put her hands on his, " I'll never forget you no matter what and that is a straight fact... even if I tried it would seem impossible too.

Zoro looked down as Robin squeezed his hand tighter for every word she said, " I'll never forget you either..."

Zoro held the ring and put it up right to her eyes, " Besides... it matches you eyes,"

Zoro was smiling but he slowly stopped as he saw Robin's trembling face.

Zoro ignored it or at least tried to, " Say let me put it on for you,"

He held the ring and put it on her finger next to her pinkie as it slid in perfectly.

Robin had a weird emotional face and was having problems in her head.

Whats wrong with me... Its not like were getting married or something... but still thought Robin as tears got the best of her.

Zoro put his hand and gently dried her tears.

" Its the food huh," said Zoro grining.

" Yeah... it is," said Robin half giggling and half crying.
