Ok, so after much lose of the internet, which I was doing some edits using the preview thing here, and the family reunion. I finally finished it all. Tired myself out kicking a bottle and my borther waller around, the playing ping-pong. Nearly lost my head a few times, my cousin can sure hit that thing. So if this seems weird, maybe it's just because I'm tired.
Disclaimer: I don't own One Piece or anything about it.
Warnings: Swearing
Pairings: ZoroxLuffy. And others, maybe. I'm just gonna go and see how it goes. If I say something now I know I'll end up changing my mind and make some people mad.
Chapter 5: Failed
The sun had eventually risen, they had all gotten towards the dock. Usopp and Chopper had waited for about an hour until Sanji had showed up too get their help. And soon now they were all sitting a small boat slowly sailing along. Zoro kept thinking back too the those two. He would get in their and save him.
Chopper stared down at the water as they floated along. He and Usopp had been shocked to see Nami and Zoro like that.
Zoro had woken up seeing only a blur of someone over him, and his first reaction was too attack. Usopp had a blade next to his neck, screaming. Zoro slowly realized who it was and let him go, "You're psycho!" Usopp had cried from his hiding spot in a bush.
Sanji had been awake, he had remained still through it all. "I don't think she tried to hurt us," Sanji said suddenly.
"What?"
"Nico Robin, she could have done worse too me. She had pulled until my back popped a little and let me go," Sanji stared at the ground. Nico Robin hadn't done anything horrible, if anything she might have saved them.
"Robin?", Chopper looked up from Nami.
"That wench who was helping the other guy," Zoro looked around, "they toke the him."
"Him? But I don't see anyone messing," Usopp was still hiding in the bush finally speaking up. Zoro ignored him though.
Sanji glared at Zoro who glared back. "So she didn't kill you then, she might next time."
"She sounds dangerous!", Usopp had moved from out of the bushes next to Nami at some point, "what if she did try too kill you!"
"I don't think she was..."
"Nami!!", Chopper cried and all eyes fell onto her. Nami blinked a few times then looked around at the others, "What happened?"
"You were injured, but nothing to serious. You should still rest."
"Nami-san!!"
"Where are...Where is it?!!", she cried jumping up finally remembering where and why they were there.
"Gone, but I'll go after them soon," Zoro looked around some more.
"Why are you still here, go!"
"We don't know who those two really are, and if they will sit back and let strangers wander around. They might attack you guys again, I'll stay with you until you are a safe distance away."
"Ah!! Good idea, Zoro!", Usopp finally moved back over next to Zoro, "let's get going! I'll be back up incase you can't handle it."
"Nami-san, are you ok?," Sanji looked her up and down, "And never fear, I'll protect you!"
"Enough, Just go!", she ordered them.
Zoro hadn't bothered to tell them details, Sanji was the only one he could think of who really know of what was in there, 'Was there something wrong with him? Why didn't he fight back?'
"So...what now?", Usopp finally spoke breaking the silence that had fallen since they had left the forest.
"We could forget about it...but...," Sanji looked over at Zoro.
"If you don't want to go fine, you'd only be in the way."
"You..."
Chopper moved over next to Nami now, he couldn't help but be worried about her still, "Nami..."
"Don't worry, Chopper," Nami smiled, trying to ignore the pain she felt. Sanji noticed it didn't finish what he wanted to say, he was now watching Nami. Nami noticed and only smiled.
Sanji leaned back, Chopper was their doctor and he didn't doubt him. Sanji's decided to think of something else, 'Who was that? And what's so important about him anyway?' Shanks had said it'd be really dangerous, he could understand why it would be. Those two weren't ordinary, but what was so important about the guy in the cage. They didn't seem to care to much about him. He wouldn't be surprised if was dead, only had one small air hole in that thing.
Sanji noticed Chopper look up at Usopp who gave a nervous nod. Chopper only nodded back, he had no idea what was with those two.
'I guess I got more to worry about then just him, like Nico Robin. She didn't hurt me, she wanted me too stay down. Like protecting me,' letting his head hang back he leaned over the edge, "You shouldn't have gotten yourself knocked out like that."
"What's the hells that got to do with anything?", Zoro snapped, he didn't know why he felt so angry right now.
Sanji's head shoot back forward to face Zoro , "I know she was helping us, you could have at least be able to follow them. We can't say for sure where they went too now."
"I don't trust her, how do you know it wouldn't have been a trap?"
"She didn't tell him that I was still conscious, she let me remain still and told him that since we were all down he should leave us be. Plus, a woman as beautiful as that couldn't harm anyone."
"I can't wait until she kills you."
Sanji stood up quickly as the boat rocked, "Watch it, or I'll kick your pansy ass."
"Like you could!"
And so the fight started. Sanji and Zoro already had a hard time in the small space plus the boat rocking. Zoro lost balance first throwing his arms out to try and catch himself, and Sanji had been pushed forward. Zoro had caught hold of the edge managing to stay up, but Sanji had come down on top of him ending with his lips pressed against Zoro's. They froze shocked as silence again filled the air. The boat rocked again forcing them apart, pink stained Sanji's cheeks. Sanji tried to get away, but with one more rock, and a sudden push they he feel onto Zoro again. But, this time Zoro in his shock had let go of the edge, so when Sanji ran into him again, over the edge they went.
Usopp stared in shock as they fell over and continued to stare. His jaw dropped along with Chopper's. Finally he snapped out of it laughing so hard he fell over.
Chopper was snapped out of by Usopp's laughter and realized what was going on now. "They fell in!!!," Chopper moved to the edge looking in, "are they ok?!!"
Usopp holding his sides tryng to talk now, "Yeah," he choked out, "as long as the lake monster doesn't get them," he finally managed to say in between laughing.
"Lake monster?!!", Chopper jumped back and clung to Usopp. Usopp had calmed down now and looked serious.
"Hahaha don't worry Chopper, I the Great Captain Usopp have fought him already. As soon as that beast sees me he'll turn and run screaming!"
"WOW!! Usopp you're the greatest!!"
Nami, shook her head and looked down into the water, "I think they drowned," Nami stared over the edge into the water.
"How'd they fall in away?"
Nami turned to Usopp, "I gave them a little push."
Nami laughed and then patted Chopper on the head, "And don't worry, Chopper."
Finally Zoro and Sanji surfaced.
Everyone stared waiting for one too start yelling at the other. But nothing happened, they remained quiet. Slowly being pulled along by the current.
'They aren't saying anything!! Why?!', Nami waited still, 'Am I missing something?! No! I wouldn't miss anything like that happening before?!'
'I can't live with things like this!! What am I supposed to do with those two?!', Nami was freaking out and still shocked. She was getting the wrong idea about them.
Zoro who seemed to have finally understand what had just happened looked even more freaked then before. Sanji's face still red did nothing still. "W-What the hell was that?!!", Zoro finally yelled, "What is with you?!!"
Sanji snapped out of it finally, "Your the one mad?!! I'm the one who should be mad, after what I just kissed!! AH!!"
"Just back off, you sick bastard!!"
"I'll be scared for life!! I would say you should feel lucky, but that's your own ugly mug you have to live with."
"This was your fault, you sick-"
"ENOUGH!!", Nami reached out hitting them both on the head.
They both went under again with large lumps on their heads.
----------
He sat there staring at the blank darkness around him, "Eh, now where am I?" They sudden energy he felt when waking up was draining now.
'The last thing I remember...hm...I was in a small dark space', He looked around still surroneded by darkness, '...then...getting knocked around. There were voices, but I just went back to sleep...then there was a loud noise and I woke up outside. Then I...' "HAT!!", his arms shoot out searching the darkness. He hands felt bars, he could feel his strength draining still, but he felt around more until he felt it, "there you are!"
He picked it up, and finally placed it back on his head. He simply lent back, his slowly closing.
He slowly turned his head from side too side trying to see something, but his stomach growled, "I'm...Hungry...", he said weakly.
He fell back against the cold walls and lay there staring up into the darkness. "Food...food...food", and on he went. He closer his eyes at least to rest.

A man stood on a cliff staring down at the sailing boat. You could tell he was old, but still not ready for the home. He wore all black, a long trench coat and a pointed hat. His eyes hidden in the shadows. Large grey eye-brows could be seen though.
"We lost them." He said to seemingly no one. But then, a figure smaller then him walked up. He wore them same outfit, but his bangs covered the right half of his face. His hair in the back was pulled into a ponytail that fell to the center of his back. Just under his pointed hat, where a shadow fell onto his hair. You could look at it and say black, but as the sun shined on the rest of his bangs it was colored blue. Shadows covered his hair pulled into a ponytail making it look black. His mouth was a straight line, and when he looked up you could see his light blue eyes. His face, expressionless. He had a small frame, he looked so tiny next to the much larger man.
"All because you just had to make sure those other kids were ok," he said simply. Nothing to his voice showing anger or annoyance. He seemed indifferent to it all.
"The heads ain't gonna be to happy."
"That's what you get for choosing random subjects. They run lose, and like I said we should have ignored those other ones and followed our target."
"I'll bet Red-Haired Shanks has something to do with those who were here earlier."
"You shouldn't have messed with that kid and he wouldn't have been involved."
"Yeah, but it's so much more fun to know your about to cause the end of the worlds peace."
"Do you plan to let this world fall apart, Oji-san?"
"Have a problem with that kid?"
"Not at all, I'll follow you anyway."
"Good, now I wonder what Shanks would do too me if I toke away his little friend."
"Well, Crocodile still has him, Oji-san."
"Yeah, I'd rather someone like Whitebeard get him. Wonder how Shanks would react to that one."
"I think he'd prefer that as well."
"Yeah, maybe we should let Crocodile have him," he smirked looking down at the boy before turning away and walking back up the hill.
"We could catch them," he said simply to the older one.
"Forget him for now, let's watch what our friends in the boat. This might be fun"
He nodded and stood there staring at the sky, 'You always like too watch, and when your bored you go off and fight. Dragging me along as well. I can never tell what you're thinking. Oji-san, do you hate this world? Do want to it too too fall to pieces? ...I won't stop you. I hate this world too, I hate the people here. I hate everything. No one can be trusted, no one cares...the only one I can trust is you, Oji-san. If you order, I'll tear this world apart. I will fight, I will be of use to you.' He looked back watching as the old man vanished into the forest and finally a wide smile speared across his face, 'And we'll have a hell of time as we do it, right? We'll destroy this world, and die being able to smile. And at last, we'll be free.'

And there it is another chapter. And the part with Zoro and Sanji, I hate those two together just so ya know. But my friend I talked about ealier, I told her how my mind was just saying add that in. She helped with it. I was like brain dead for a bit, I guess it's because my brain refuses too want to work all that well with ZoroxSanji.
Yeah, I brought in two new characters. I had planned to introduce them In the last chapter. But then I don't know how it changed. So you'll see more of them, and yeah that one has problems.
Clarobell: Thanks for that. And I read a lot of your stories already. I can't believe I didn't think of that before.
Raifiel: Yeah I know, I said earlier I'm not that smart. Wish I was better at this. And thanks.
Thanks for reading. If you've read this far, now's a good time to review!! I still feel the need to write more so unless this starts to get hard I won't ask you to review or no next chapter. But they might make me happy.
