Again, guys, I am so sorry I haven't updated! I don't think I can ever apologize fully.. I've been so busy with school, and keeping my grades up.. Urgh.. Anyways, let's crack open this well-deserved chapter!


I don't think I have ever screamed so loud in my life. I watched the weight come at me, until I quickly lunged out to my right, the weight slamming against the wall. I collided with the floor, but I felt no pain, looking back at the enormous weight. 'T-That could've ended so bad...' I sat on the floor, shaking a bit. I exhaled a shaky breath, standing up on my feet. Now that I had avoided that crisis, I walked over to the window. The rain was still coming down pretty bad... 'Wait, what if they heard me scream..? No way, the rain is too loud. I can barely hear myself think!'

As time continued to slowly go by, I sat there, knees pulled up to chest and arms wrapped around them. There really was nothing to do... Unless I tried to use one of Zoro's weights again... Nah, I value my life. I still sat by the window, the rain slowly dying down a tad. At least I would be able to watch the waves.. 'I wonder how everyone else is doing down there...'


In the kitchen...

Sanji was flailing around, worried out of his mind. "That wave was too dangerous! LISANNA-SWANNN!" he cried out, ready to climb up in the Crow's Nest himself. "Sanji, I understand you're worried and all, but no one can go out there in that weather! Only a monster could!" Usopp looked at Sanji, frown on face. He was worried himself, but he would be no match for the ferocious waves out there. Sanji glared at him. "I can't sit here, knowing a lady is in danger! Especially with the marimo's weights up there!" Sanji shot back. Zoro opened one eye, arms behind his head. "You got a problem with MY training room, dart-brow? It's not my fault she wandered up there right before a storm."

This struck a nerve with Sanji, as he turned to Zoro, scowl on face. "I do have a problem with your training room, moss-head! Lisanna-swan is up there, all alone with YOUR inhumane weights! She's in danger!" Sanji retorted. Zoro grumbled, closing his eye. "I told you, it's not my problem." Nami grew frustrated, as she punched Zoro on the top of the head. "Zoro, it's your training room! Go up there and see if she's okay!" she seethed, looking down at him. Zoro glared up at her, hand on top of head. "Why should I, you witch?" he glared, as Sanji was being held back by Usopp and Chopper. "If you don't, I'm adding another 200,000,000 beli to your debt you owe me." she smirked. "I don't owe you anything!" he yelled back.

"Yes you do, now go up there before I double it!" Nami yelled. Zoro stood, grumbling. "Stupid witch.." he grumbled, walking towards the door. "Captain-san, are you okay with Swordsman-san going out there in such terrible weather?" Robin asked Luffy, who was silent the whole time. His large grin was on his face, as he looked up. "No worries! Zoro can easily take care of it!" he laughed. Robin couldn't help but smile at his response. Zoro opened up the door, the rain smacking him. He shut the door behind him, as began to make his way over to the mast, deck slippery.

Once he reached it, he began the climb carefully, it being slippery as well. The rain kept blowing at him furiously, as he began to ascend to the Crow's Nest.


In the Crow's Nest...

I sat there, in the same position as I was for 5 minutes straight. I watched the waves roughly collide with each other, as the rain blew sideways. I continued watching, until I heard a bang on the door. I jumped, as my head whipped around. I stared at it, a large weight on top of it. "Lisanna, are you alright?!" a muffled voice asked. I couldn't make out who it was, but I was glad to hear someone's voice! "Yeah, I'm okay!" I yelled back, quickly shuffling over to the door. "Lemme try to move this weight..!" I began to push at the weight, it not budging. I puffed, as I continued to push with all of my strength. Little by little, it began to slowly roll off the door, until it was completely off. Standing back, I watched the door open up, until I saw green hair. Zoro had come?!

He reminded me of a wet cat, as he climbed up, not looking happy. Then again, Zoro really never does look happy... He shut the door, sighing. He was soaked to the bone, clothes sticking to him. He then turned to me, as I stared up at him. (I hate being so short!) "Uh... hi..?" I sheepishly greeted, not knowing what to say to him.

He sighed, rubbing his head, droplets of water flying out of his hair as he did. "You aren't hurt, are you?" he asked, looking at me. I shook my head, "No, but one of the weights almost killed me.." I looked at the weight that was sitting in my safety corner. He looked at it too, frowning. "Oh, sorry about that." I wanted to gap, but I kept my mouth closed. 'One of your weights almost killed me, and SORRY is all you have to say?! That's Zoro for you.." He turned back to me. "Pass me one of those towels?" he asked. I turned behind me, seeing some old towels on a railing. I walked over to it, grabbing one. I came back over, holding it out to him. "Thanks." he took it, drying himself off. I stood there, awkwardly.

"Did Nami ever say when this storm was going to end?" I asked him, sitting down on the floor again, still kind of exhausted from pushing the weight off of the door. "She said it would end in about two hours." he replied, tossing the towel off to the side. I sighed, going to be stuck in here for two hours. At least I would have some company.. with Zoro.. for two hours... not knowing what to talk about...

Sheesh, these are going to be the longest two hours of my life...


Done! I tried to get this in as soon as possible, but I was having a bit of trouble thinking of what to write... Anyways, reviews are appreciated!
