Hey there! So, in this one I decided to play with the idea of a secretly smart Luffy. I know it's out of character, but I thought it would be kinda funny. Happy Reading! ~HeartQueenVivaldi

Strategy?

Zoro and Luffy sat on the deck of the Sunny, enjoying a peaceful afternoon and sharing a dessert that Sanji had made for them. The rest of the crew ignored them as they stole kisses and teased each other while feeding each other bites of the dessert, which was Zoro's idea to keep his boyfriend from eating the whole thing in one bite. Luffy giggled as Zoro kissed his nose then licked some ice cream from the corner of his mouth.

Zoro chuckled as Luffy blushed a little. They continued this way for a long time before they were interrupted by Nami on the upper Deck. "Pirates ahead! All hands ready for battle!" She yelled over to them.

Zoro and Luffy were on their feet in an instant, dessert forgotten, Luffy flinging himself up onto the deck with Nami using his devil fruit, Zoro not far behind, headed there by foot, taking the stairs three at a time. He arrived only seconds after Luffy did.

"Who is it?" Luffy asked Nami anxiously.

The navigator responded, still looking through the telescope, "No one we know, or even heard of, but their ship is huge!"

Luffy quit bouncing around at the information and became suddenly disappointed. "Just because a ship is huge doesn't mean they have a big crew, and if they do that's bad for them. It usually means they need a lot of people because they're weak." Luffy grinned at Nami. "Shanks taught me that when I was little. That's why we both have small crews, and even though his ship is way bigger than ours, he doesn't have many more men than we do. In fact, I think our crews are pretty close to the same size, well, as far as the main crew goes, anyways."

"And what about whitebeard?" Zoro asked. "He had a huge crew."

"Yeah, but he broke his crew up into several, much smaller crews. Ace was in charge of one of those smaller crews, called divisions." Luffy laughed boisterously. "It's actually a really good strategy once you're already strong!"

Nami gaped at the captain, and raised a skeptical eyebrow, "don't tell me you actually know something about strategy."

"Of course! How do you think I win any of my fights?"

Nami face-palmed, "well then, Captain. Why don't you strategy us out of this?"

"Nah."

"What do you mean 'nah'?"

Luffy laughed again. "We don't need a strategy this time. They're probably weak-sauce anyways."

Nami's voice raised to a yell, "Even if they are weak, a strategy would still be nice!"

"Too late!" Luffy yelled as the other ship pulled up alongside their own and Nami groaned in despair. "Come on, Zoro! Let's go kick their weak asses!" the rubber captain yelled behind him as he flung himself onto the deck of the other ship. And just like that, the man Zoro had been kissing only moments earlier became the most dangerous man in the world. The swordsman smiled and followed his secretly-smart, adorable, really strong boyfriend and captain into battle.
