This was just nonsense written for fun and because Luffy's smarter than everybody gives him credit for. I included all of the crew members for once!

Zoro settled down between the weights; carefully stretching his feet as he settled into his hands locked behind his head. It was too hot to risk sleeping on the deck like he normally did. He didn't want to wake up crispy and red like one of ero-cooks salmon dishes. The crow's nest was the ideal place as most of the crew mates avoided it during the day time to give him his privacy. Or give themselves a break. Either worked for Zoro and now, he yawned loudly, he would finally get the rest he deserved and maybe when he got up he could get the love-cook to make those little things he'd made before for the witch or better yet get Nami to get ero-cook to make it but that would probably make his debts sky-rocket but he'd half given up on them...anyways...so...Zzz...Zzz... . Zz-

"ZORO!"

Ex-pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro jumped out of his skin and climbed back in, cursing as he reached for his katana.

"Luffy," Zoro snarled because really, there was only one person on the ship who could sneak up on him like that when he was sleeping. "What the hell was that for?"

Luffy, who had been rolling on the floor upon seeing his swordsman flinch so harshly, sprawled across the floor. He stifled his last giggles as he pulled his hat up and answered.

"I wanted to surprise Zoro," Luffy seemed proud, oblivious of the fact that had it been anybody else they would have died from impalement. "And besides, I'm bored."

"Go bother Usopp," Zoro advised as he shifted, his back turned firmly to his captain.

"He's on this new experiment," Luffy whined. "He won't let me near it yet."

Zoro closed his eyes and began to snore.

"Zo-ro," Luffy tugged on his friend's shirt but the swordsman refused to budge.

"Zo-ro," He tugged harder, but the snores only got louder. The captain's eyes narrowed; he recognized his swordsman's stubborn streak had come into play. If that was the case, Luffy made up his mind and bounded to his feet. "Fine! Be that way!"

Monkey D Luffy, deemed as one the most dangerous pirates by the government, promptly stuck his tongue out at his first mate before disappearing down the ladder. Zoro sighed in content. Thanks to Luffy he snapped out of that comfortable dozing state he had but that could be easily fixed. Zoro settled down once more as he began to count, one damn mihawk... two damn mihawk... three damn mihawk...four hundred and seventy two damn mihawk... four...hundred...Zzz...Zzz..Z-

"Zoro!"

This time, Zoro was ready. He opened one eye in his usual indifferent manner as he took in the new intruder. He raised an eyebrow in question.

"Luffy said you were looking for me!" Chopper shrieked as he dashed foward to check his crew mate. He frantically, yet carefully ran his hooves along his friend's frame to check for broken limbs or bleeding wounds. "Are you hurt? Do you feel dizzy? Are you bleeding somewhere? Do you need a doctor? Oh no, you need a doctor, WE NEED A DOC-"

"Chopper!" Zoro sighed heavily before continuing. "I'll take my hand off your mouth if you promise you'll stop screaming. Okay? Good. I'm not hurt."

The reindeer's eyes narrowed as he had heard that particular claim numerous times from the swordsman just before the man passed out from loss of blood.

Zoro obviously read the suspicion because he said pointedly.

"I'm fine. Nothing wrong with me except the lack of sleep."

The intelligent doctor took the hint and left, but only after forcing Zoro to comply to a full-body check up tomorrow noon.

The swordsman didn't bother to settle back in; he had a bad feeling about today and Luffy's relatively quick surrender. It would be better to disappear in the ship and saunter off in places they wouldn't expect him. Of course Luffy could be determinated when he wanted to be, but Zoro himself was an ex-pirate hunter and a current pirate who'd avoided capture for ages now. Finding one place to get some quiet sleep in the midst of idiots wouldn't be hard at all.

Zoro was wrong. Duh.

"Hey dumb ass marimo. Luffy said you'd be lazing off by the anchors. If you've got nothing better to do than lazing off-and I know you don't-get your ass up and help Usopp load the fish into the aquarium. Hey dumbass where the hell are you going? Bloody listen when a person's talking to you!"

"Zoro! I thought Luffy was pulling my leg when he said you'd be in the library. So I heard you were willing to participate in Usopp-sama's next experiment! I greatly appreciate your volunteer-OW! You almost broke my nose! I would be having a nose bleed if it weren't for my excellent skills of dodging I've honed-Zoro? Zoro? Where are you going? You're not going to be my guinea pig?"

"Zoro? I hear that you were the one who'd trampled my precious tangerine bush? I don't care if only one branch had snapped, I'd warned all of you of playing you guys' idiot games up there! I don't care if Luffy was the one who started it you were the one who broke it! I swear if any harm comes to my bushes again, I'll own your damn ass, three lifetimes over. What? What does that matter? Well, Luffy told me. Why the hell are you sleeping here anyways?"

"I heard you were lost bro! I know this baby's huge but really, what do you have to do to end up in the Soldier Dock? But Zoro-bro, you look like shit. You should get some sleep- Luffy-bro? He was heading to the deck, laughing like a maniac about something. Oh, you should thank him! He was the one who told me you were lost! Zoro-bro? Where are you going? You could hurt the ship with your katanas out of their sheath like that! Zoro-bro!"

Later...

"Robin-san," Brook slid next to the archaeologist as he wondered how to ask. "I just met Luffy-san."

Robin looked at the skeleton from above her book.

"Is something wrong Brook-san?"

"He had squeezed himself into the bathroom cupboard and nearly gave me a heart attack-thought I have no heart, SKULL JOKE!" Brook paused as he tried to remember his question. "Ah, yes, I tried to ask Luffy-san what he was doing but he was very agitated and motioned me to close the cupboard which I did. Do you have any idea what could be going on?"

Robin settled her book down as she considered her answer.

"In some cultures they call it 'Hide-and-Seek'."

"Oh," Brook answered slowly, understanding what the fellow Devil Fruit user wasn't saying. He knew he'd have to ask the right question. "Then what do we call it?"

Robin smile grew genuine, looking more cheerful than Brook had seen her in days.

"We call it 'Hide-or-Die'."
