Normally, Robin wasn't one of those who would openly display her emotions but when Mr. Swordsman's growl tore through the tense silence it shocked her. Not only was he acting unusual before he left the ship but he managed to get not only himself but the Doctor harmed aswell. Something that was not done intentionally she was sure. However, to almost prove her point; That evening, Zoro had carried Franky, who was yelling all kinds of profanitities and obsenities at the green haired sword wielder, as he lept from the crows nest. He never did use the hatch when exiting. So in the end, Franky altered one of the windows so it would slide open, allowing the swordsman to jump out of the crows-nest (much to his annoyance, but he had to because he was getting tired of the guy jumping from the hatch and landing right in front of people when they least expected it. It was freaking scary and not super, or so he said).

That evening, after Franky had finished ranting about the "Demonic, wolfy bastard that jumped out of windows carrying people" and "Almost giving the poor guy a heart attack because he actually thought he was going to die!" She observed Zoro, who was trying to hold back his laughter and regain some of his usual demenour. it was blatantly obvious because of his pretty much failed attempts at hiding his quickly growing grin, instead all he said, as calmly as he could;

"You shouldn't have asked for help then should you?" He ducked his head down and appeared to be inspecting his swords, when Nami stared at him curiously.

"Zoro what the hell, are you ok?"

Hearing his name, his head snapped up, green hair flopping infront of his eyes so that he had to move it out of the way. He looked alot different now, his wild eyes betrayed every emotion that he felt, and the smile that was tugging at his lips did not help him in anyway. Everyone had noticed the change in his personality also and it was somewhat unsettling. From what she heard from Franky after he had calmed down a little bit, Zoro had challenged Franky into seeing how many of his rather large weights he could lift. Which was extremly unlike him.

"Uh, yeah i'm fine. Why, something wrong?"

" , I think that what Miss Navigator is trying to say is that you seem more lively than usual and we are all begining to wonder if everything is ok?"

Zoro stopped for a moment and thought. What Robin said was true, he felt more energetic than he ever had in his life. He needed to run, to do something. Problem was he didn't get an awfull lot of training done that day. Probably because of his little game with Franky. So in truth, he supposed that he didn't know if he was ok or not.

"I'm fine, i just have a little more energy than usual, I guess i just spend it all training, am I that bad?"

Everyone looked at him like he was from another planet. Was he that bad? He almost on par with Luffy in terms of hyper-activity. it was nuts!

"Well Zoro, lets just say that you have so much energy you make me feel alive. Even though I'm dead."

Despite the crappy skull joke, the other Straw Hats nodded in agreement. Zoro was alot more lively than what was normal. It seemed like any of the usually intense concentration and control had gone and all was left was what they were facing now.

"Hey Zoro, do you need to train or something, your acting like an idiot."

This earned the unfortunate captain a whack on the head from said swordsman.

"Owwww, that hurt Zoorooo!" Luffy whimpered pathetically.

"Wait, that hurt you? I thought you couldn't be hurt because of your devil fruit?"

Nami stared at the two in shock, It was unheard of that a devil fruit user who's power affected its body (Not the Zoan user's like chopper or whatever type Robin or Brook are, I think Luffy's a Logia user, i'm not too sure. If you know. please tell me!)would get hurt by something as simple as a punch. Her's would leave some serious marks, so would Sanji but Zoro would never hurt Luffy, not that he could, His punches were more of a half-assed reprimand. However, this was not normal. In all honestly it only added to the crews pile of growing worries, all about the swordsman/wolf man in front of them. Who was staring at them, wondering what they were thinking about.

"Nami, just because i'm a rubber man doesn't mean i can't be hurt. You hurt me all the time. I've also been stabbed a few times, that hurts alot."

then Sanji cut in "You've also been electrocuted too."

Then Robin "And buried in quick sand."

Then Zoro "You've also been shot at many times."

Chopper also put his 50 cents in "You've also broken several bones, got minor concussion and nearly caught frost bite and frozen to death."

Brook "You also absorbed 100 shadows."

Usopp "Been clawed at by Kuro and his sword-glove-blade-things"

Then Nami relented and joined the convorsation. "You've also been nearly drowned and got bitten by Arlong."

Sanji again "that Don Kreig guy also got you with steak things aswell, didn't he?"

The Chopper truned the attention from Luffy, who was grinning proudly, despite the fact they were not talking about a good thing.

"Wow, our captains an idiot."

they nodded in agreement, exept Luffy.

"HEY! You don't have to be so mean about it."

"And our First Mate is a directionally challenged mosshead who's also a sucker for punishment."

Again, another nod of agreement.

"You people wanna be killed or something?!"
