Here, There, Panda Everywhere (Topic: Road)
Zoro never ceased to be surprised by the carefree attitude with which Johnny and Yosaku seem to skip along the open, perilous road of the bounty hunter. The panic of Yosaku's scurvy had only just been apprehended and yet here the two of them were, below deck, knocking back the sake as if it had come out of a tap and casually taking his questions in an untroubled and cheery manner.
"What the hell were you doing, floating around in that state?"
"We got lost because Yosaku used the map as a beer coaster in the last bar we went to."
"Yeah – 50 miles back!"
"Well how the hell did you manage to get scurvy? In this day and age?"
"We were skint, we spent all our money on that boat."
"And where the hell are your trousers, Yosaku?"
"Dunno what you mean, Aniki."
"Those are blatantly underpants, not shorts. What, did you throw them overboard in a fit of passion or something?"
"Not this time, Aniki. Thing is, we went looking for Pandaman…"
"Why?"
"The bounty of course. We were flat-out broke and that guy's got quite an impressive sum on his head so…"
"So what's that got to do with losing your trousers?"
Johnny glanced at his partner for what seemed to be approval. Yosaku shrugged nonchalantly. Johnny continued with a smile.
"We think Pandaman has them. Anyway, kanpai!"
"Kanpai!"
Zoro found that he couldn't quite look them both in the eye for quite some time after that.
