A/N: Back for another instalment of The Ero-Captain, I see! Well, hope you won't be disappointed: pervert Luffy is a funny idea. XPP Anyway, enjoy Zoro's … secret. XP Ebil girl-child, that I am, I like to see them squirm. So, yeah.

Disclaimer: Athe-san is only the owner of around $7 (I can't even believe I have that much!), some books, her writing, her stationary, some drawings, some photos, and most definitely not One Piece. She'll pay her $7 bucks to own it though. If she could, of course. XD

RR: Reviewer Response

Thanks to the two reviewers! Sadly, I didn't get 4 reviews, but 3 is enough. Anyway, I thought I would leave you with a chapter before I go on camp. XD A postless weekend for me.

Sanji-luver: lol, I thought of the 'chu chu chu' thing after watching a subbed episode 4 of Furuba. XD Kagura and Kyo ... so funny.

Thomas Drovin: XD Luffy is rather inexperienced at this sort of thing, isn't he?

-Recap-

"Well, Nami-chwan, Zoro-san's secret is …"

-End Recap-

(ZORO'S POV)

I prayed. Please, Luffy, don't say anything embarrassing …

"… he wears love heart underpants!" Luffy finished.

He said it. Great. Now the whole crew knows about my 'manliness'. Although, I only really cared about Nami knowing … it's more of that sappy stuff.

I blushed, and rolled my eyes, as Nami looked curiously at me.

"Zoro-kun, is that really true?"

I averted my eyes, and muttered, "Yes, Nami-san, it is."

She burst out into laughter that filled the dining room with music. "Well, Luffy-sama, that's one secret. You still have four more to tell me before I give you your chu chu chu."

"Right." Luffy gnawed on a knuckle. "Well, Sanji-kun's secret is that he sleeps with a teddy."

A smile flickered upon my face. I hadn't really noticed that yet … maybe because I don't even like looking at that dart-board eyebrow baka in the first place.

"Well, now …" I whispered to myself. Great blackmail.

"Do you know if that's true, Zoro-kun?" Nami asked me, as I shook my head. "Hmmmm," she debated, thinking. "I guess I'll accept that, Luffy-sama. Now three more."

(ATHENUS' POV)

The two lovers sat in the men's quarters, talking animatedly. They had yet to figure out the word for Athenus' attack.

"Athie-chwan, what about dense?" Sanji asked me.

I shook my head. 'Baka Baka no Dense' just didn't work. "Think, Sanji-kun. What else could work? Synonyms of stupid are dense, dim, thick, slow, dim-witted … what could we use?"

Sanji thought about it for a second. "You know baka is stupid in Japanese, right?" he asked me, and I nodded. "Well, what about one of those words in another language? Like French or German or something like that?"

The words hit me like rocks. "Sanji-kun, you're a genius!" I announced, and jumped up and hugged him. His eye turned into a heart, and he blushed at my sudden praise.

(ZORO'S POV)

Luffy had told Nami four secrets so far – mine, his, Sanji's and Usopp's. His was that he had a bladder problem - I must admit, there were some puddles around the Going Merry. And Usopp's? His was that he made mini robots of DOOM! (-insert evil cackles here ...-) I could see Nami almost crack up at this ... mini robots of DOOM? We seriously need to talk to Usopp about that.

"Now for Athe-chan's secret," she whispered seductively. The tone of her voice made my skin crawl in a nice way.

Luffy nodded. He bowed his head in thought for a moment, before speaking. "Athe-chan has eaten an Akuma no Mi."

Nami looked sceptical, as I went through this idea in my brain, recalling one occasion she must have used her fruit: when she slipped off my shoulder at Ischel. I swore quietly. How could I have not guessed?

"Which one, Luffy-sama?" Nami asked the Captain of the Mugiwaras.

"I'll tell you in trade for another chu," Luffy cheekily said, earning a hard stare from Nami and me. The navigator and I locked eyes, and had a silent conversation.

Should we, Zoro-kun?

I am curious to know what Athe-chan ate … but, I don't want you to do this for me …

Awww, Zoro-san's being protective of me …

Kuso! Just do what you think is right.

Okay, Zoro-kun. And what happens if you don't like it?

I go and drag that ero-cook and Athe-chan in here to reverse the damage.

… Nami broke off the contact.

"Sure, Luffy-sama. Tell me, and I'll give you another chu. You're one lucky man."

Luffy grinned. "The Baka Baka no Mi. You doknow baka means idiot, right?"

We nodded. I chewed a fingernail, trying to think. Nami's face was filled with revulsion, and Luffy came closer to her.

"Now time for my chu chu chu chus," he smiled, and drove in for the kiss.

The door burst open, as Luffy's mouth got closer to Nami's, and I jerked my head to see who had come into the dining room. It was that stupid funky eyebrow cook and Athe-chan – no surprises there. Athe-chan's hair was dishevelled, and she was panting hard.

"Baka Baka no Muto!" she yelled.

We waited as a second ticked by ... and another ... and another ...

Luffy suddenly jerked back from Nami, wiping his mouth. He yelled, "Saaaannnji! I want MEEEAAAT!"

I sighed. Nothing had changed. I looked at the raven-haired girl, and asked, "How did you know that word?"

Embarassed, she blushed and smiled. "I used to translate insults into different languages."

We laughed, as Sanji angrily stormed into the kitchen to cook his captain some more meat.

Next time on Cursed Love …

The Mugiwara Pirates discuss Athenus' not-so-new powers. Also, Athenus reveals a secret she has kept … well, secret. And the Straw Hats get closer to a new island! Plus Usopp appears again ... not knowing about the ero-captain escapade, thank god. And what about his mini robots of DOOM?

All on the next Cursed Love!
