Chapter 3: Too much for Zoro to take?

"Kenshi-san"

Zoro yawned, not bothering to open his eyes; he still wanted to sleep.

"Kenshi-san" Robin said again, shaking him lightly. Zoro cracked an eye open only to come face to face with Robin´s large bosom. The woman smiled teasingly at his red face, saying: "Good morning, Kenshi-san. Are you enjoying the view?"

When Zoro finally got his straight face back he answered: "I´ve seen better but I suppose that´s the best you can do"

Okay, that was lame. It had just sounded so good in his head! Judging from Robin´s barely noticeable frown it worked tough.

"Oi, Marimo, get up already, we´re leaving" said Sanji who was passing by.

"Shut it Shitty cook" Zoro muttered, getting up.

"What was that?" Sanji asked, but was stopped by Robin putting her hand on his shoulder.

"Cook-san"

"Yes?" Sanji asked, already getting hearts to his eyes.

"Could you make sandwiches for lunch today?" Robin asked, moving her hand down Sanji´s arm from his shoulder.

"Of course, Robin-chan!" Sanji yelled.

"Thank you, Cook-san" Robin said, running her hand from Sanji´s arm across his torso and under his chin before letting go. Before leaving she winked at the two young men over her shoulder, making Sanji melt. Zoro just rolled his eyes with a hint of pink on his face.

"Get up cook, we´re leaving" Zoro said, getting angry Sanji after him.

XXXXX

"That. Damn. Woman" Zoro thought, trying to get some sleep as he was sitting on the deck with his eyes closed. At lunch Robin had been flirting with Sanji, which had annoyed Zoro even though he had been able to keep his straight face. And now that damn woman was sunbathing with Nami only a couple of meters away from him with really revealing bikinis. She was definitely doing it on purpose. And how did Zoro know that? Well, first of all he wasn´t stupid and second, the glances Robin was giving him were a clear proof.

"Nami-saan, Robin-chaan, your drinks!" Sanji yelled as he danced over to the two women with a tray in his hands.

"Thanks, Sanji-kun"

"Thank you, Cook-san" Robin said, once again giving a glance to Zoro´s, who pretended to be asleep, direction.

"Cook-san?"

"Yes, Robin-chan?"

"Do you mind spreading sunscreen on my back?" Robin asked, making Zoro´s eyes snap wide open. Even Nami gave Robin a disbelieving look but the raven haired woman just smiled, watching the blond haired cook dance away as he chanted: "Of course Robin-chan, I´ll get you sunscreen right away!"

"Are you sure that was a good idea?" Nami asked. Robin just smiled at her mysteriously, waiting for Sanji to return. Once the blond came back Robin laid down on her stomach, opening the strap of her bikini top. Nami looked at her, mouthing "Are you sure that´s a good idea?" but Robin just nodded, glancing at Zoro, who had his eyes closed and a frown on his face, with a teasing smirk. She forced herself to relax as Sanji started to spread the cream on her back. It´s not like she didn´t trust the cook, but she wasn´t really that comfortable with someone touching her like this. She should not complain tough; it had been her own idea. On the top of it all she felt bad since to her it seemed like she was using the good hearted cook.

Zoro had a hard time sitting still, fighting the urge to throw Sanji overboard. He had his eyes closed, but he knew what the cook was doing and why. Right now he wanted nothing more than to throw the pervert off of his woman and- wait, since when had Robin been his woman? Zoro shook his head slightly. He had to get that woman out of his head. What did he see in her anyway? She was dangerous (weaker than him tough), cheeky and… and… okay, he couldn´t come up with anything else. She was hot and that´s what had gotten his attention, especially after reading that book. Yeah, it was simple.

"Mmh…"

Zoro´s eye shot wide open as he heard Robin moan. He glanced at her and the cook who looked like he´d faint at any moment. For once he understood the blonde; this was pure torture. He forced himself to close his eyes as he felt himself becoming hard. If even one of those three noticed it he´d never hear the end of it. He wanted to leave; not being able to stand Robin´s moaning.

"But if I leave she´ll think she won this one" Zoro thought, and on top of that he didn´t really want to leave. He liked her voice.

Robin hid her smirk successfully. The first moan had been a complete accident, but after realizing what kind of affect it had on Zoro she let herself relax and didn´t stop the moans. The only bad side was that it seemed to have even bigger effect on the cook.

"But it doesn´t seem like he minds" Robin thought, closing her eyes as she wondered what the swordsman would do. She hadn´t expected him to just sit there for this long. Was it some kind of tactic of his? Well it didn´t matter; he´d break down soon enough.

XXXXX

Zoro muttered curses under his breath as he walked to the boys´ cabin looking for Usopp. Luckily he didn´t need to look for him longer since that´s where he was. Zoro smirked; this would stop Robin from using today´s tactic successfully anymore.

"Oi, Usopp" the Marimo said, catching the Long nose´s attention "Could you make me ear plugs?"

"Ear plugs?" Usopp repeated "Why?"

"To block all noise, of course" Zoro said "You guys are always too loud; I can´t sleep"

Usopp looked at Zoro suspiciously for a while, knowing all too well that the swordsman didn´t have trouble sleeping even through a storm. There was something weird in this for sure…

"Sure, I´ll have them done by tomorrow" Usopp said. He didn´t know what Zoro had in mind, but if it was something important he´d find out some way.

"Thanks Usopp, I owe you one" Zoro said, walking away. Now Robin wouldn't be able to do the same thing anymore.

XXXXX

At dinner Zoro did his best in ignoring Robin completely, but it was damn hard considering how she kept flirting with the blond cook.

"Ignore them, ignore them" Zoro kept repeating in his head.

"By the way, Cook-san" Robin started, getting Sanji´s attention now "I have this one book you might be interested in"

Zoro froze instantly, remembering their conversation from the night before.

Flashback

"Did you enjoy the book, Kenshi-san?" Robin asked, making Zoro´s face go deep red. When the swordsman didn´t answer she continued: "You can keep it if you want; I don´t need it anymore"

"Keep your stupid book!" Zoro yelled, throwing the book at Robin who caught it easily.

"I assume you didn´t like it, then" she said, the smug smile still present on her face. Regaining his control Zoro muttered: "I´m not impressed; I´ve seen much better"

They stared at each other, Zoro with a smirk and Robin with almost an unnoticeable frown.

"Is that so?" she asked.

"Definitely" Zoro answered with the smirk still on his face.

"Well I suppose I´ll give this to Cook-san then" Robin said with a smirk of her own, whirling the book in her hand. Zoro´s face fell, but it only lasted for a second so he thought she didn´t notice.

"Sure" Zoro said with a smirk "I´m sure that even material like that can be helpful to him; I doubt he´s seen much"

Flashback ends

"Really?" Sanji asks, interested "What is the book about?"

"You can take a look at it by yourself" Robin said, handing purple leather covered book to the blonde "I´m sure it will give pleasant surprises for both of us"

Zoro´s face went a bit red; right now he wanted nothing more than to take the book away and throw it overboard so that the cook wouldn´t get his hands on it. However, when he met Robin´s gaze he realized that that was exactly what she wanted. There was no way he´d let her get what she wanted.

Zoro gritted his teeth, forcing himself to sit still. He clenched his spoon tightly as Sanji opened the book.

"You´re right Robin-chan, this will be useful" Sanji said, making Zoro almost fall off of his seat. What the hell?

"What's in the book, Sanji?" Usopp asked, making Zoro freeze again. What indeed… it just had to be different book than the one he had seen no matter how similar it looked.

"It´s full of new recipes" Sanji said, making Zoro literally fall off of his chair. Everyone, excluding Robin who had a smirk on her face, looked at him questioningly.

"What´s wrong Zoro? Are you sick?" Chopper asked worriedly, making Zoro´s face go red.

"No" he said and marched out of the room.

"What´s his problem?" Sanji asked.

"Who knows" Robin asked with her all knowing smirk.

She won this round.
