"Woa, Luffy bro. Is he dead?" Franky asked, looking worried as he joined the captain in staring down at the very limp looking otter.
Luffy laughed, "Nah, he's not dead! I didn't give him permission to die. You can only die if the captain says so!"
Franky frowned, "I don't think that's how it works, Luffy..."
"Oh my god, you killed him!" Usopp cried, "This isn't funny, Luffy!"
"He's not dead!" Luffy said.
"He's not moving, moron!"
"He's fine, he's just sleeping."
"Oi, bastards, it's time for lunch. I've been shouting for-" Sanji halted as he took in the sight of Luffy, Usopp and Franky arguing whilst the marimo rat lay quite pathetically in a heap in the grass. He sighed heavily, "Luffy, what did you do?"
"It was an accident! Me and Zoro were playing and I tripped and fell on him..." Luffy said.
"More like you squished him..." Franky muttered.
Sanji shook his head slightly. He was on a ship full of idiots, "Well, is he alright?"
"He's sleeping!" Luffy replied.
"Let's just hope it's not the permanent kind..." Ussop murmured.
Hopping over the railing, the cook dropped down to the grass deck and walked over, "You guys go and eat. I'll take him to Chopper."
"Are you sure, Sanji?" Ussop asked.
"Yeah. I'll have mine later. I don't trust that idiot there not to actually kill him if he did this." The blond explained, tilting his head towards Luffy.
"Okay then."
The three left, leaving Sanji stood over the unconscious otter and he sighed as he bent down, gathering up the little animal in his arms. Zoro's long body was as limp and loose as a rag doll and if it wasn't Zoro in that body, Sanji would almost feel sorry for the poor thing.
He stood up, smoothing out a tuft of fur that had fluffed upwards with his fingers and made sure he had the moss rat in a secure grip. He may feel a little sorry for the poor otter, but if Zoro woke up and bit him again then the chef would not hesitate to toss him overboard.
