Yay 30th chapther. Set around maybe episode 606, when Luffy and Sanji have to share Zoro's bubble. Let's say that Zoro grabbed Luffy out of the water first and Sanji came a few moments later.
Zoro curses violently as he heaves his captain into his bubble. It has been a long time since he's done this and he would rather have kept it that way. Nonetheless, with a practiced ease that takes longer than two years to forget, Zoro pats Luffy's back as his captain hacks the water out of his system.
"Zoro, I," Luffy wheezes between coughs. "Water and-afraid."
"Yea. I know," Zoro moves his hand in circles between the shoulder blades, falling into their familiar routine. "You're safe."
"No," The Devil Fruit user twists around to look at his swordsman only to fall into another coughing fit. Zoro raises his eyebrow in surprise but patiently waits for the coughing to subside and his friend to explain.
"I fell into the water," Luffy finally straightens up as he wipes his mouth with his sleeve. He grins because it's the first time in two years. "And I wasn't afraid."
