Chapter 2

The Mystery

Sanji was talking to some beautiful ladies when a green cat climbed him like a tree all the way to the shoulder and hung on for dear life. "AH! What's wrong with this stupid cat?", he said as he tried to get the cat off of him. Sanji heard growling behind him and turned around to see a big dog growling at the cat on his shoulder. "What? You want this stupid cat?", Sanji said to the dog.

The ladies screamed and said, "Don't give that poor cat to that mean dog!"

Sanji looked at the ladies with hearts in his eyes and said, "Hai! Don't worry ladies I won't let that mutt hurt this cat!" Sanji glared at the dog and said, "GET!!" The dog walked off giving up for now. Zoro gave a little sigh of relief and relaxed a little. He used his new found claws to keep from falling off Sanji's shoulder.

Sanji looked back at the ladies after shooing the dog away and said, "Wouldn't one of you angels like to keep this cat?"

"Don't give me away, idiot!!", Zoro tried to say, but all that came out was, "Meow!"

One of the ladies said, "No, we're allergic to cats. Can't you keep her? I know you would take great care of her. We wouldn't have to worry about her if you kept her." The lady had already figured Sanji out and knew he wouldn't say no.

"Hai! If you insist I'll keep her", said Sanji with hearts in his eyes.

"What? He'll keep me?", thought Zoro still clinging to Sanji's shoulder. "I will not be his pet! And I'm not a her!!" Zoro looked around trying to think of the best escape route from Sanji. Then he saw the dog waiting for him to get down. "Eep!", thought Zoro when he saw the dog, "Fine, I'll be Sanji's pet for a while."

Sanji said bye to the ladies and headed to find a pet store to buy supplies for his new cat. "All right Neko-chan let's go to a pet store and buy you some toys and things you'll need", said Sanji to the cat on his shoulder. Zoro growled at his new nickname.

In the pet store Sanji bought a bag of cat food (which Zoro hissed at), two cute bowls for food and water (Zoro hissed at those, too), a litter box, litter, scoop, and a feather wand. "There's no way I'm using a litter box!", thought Zoro. The lady at the counter asked Sanji about the green cat on his shoulder and Sanji went into a fit of heart eyes and flirting again before they could leave the store.

After he finished at the pet store Sanji headed for the ship. "Nami's going to kill me for bringing back a cat!", said Sanji. "Oi, Neko-chan. You owe me big time for saving your butt", said Sanji to the cat.

Zoro tried to say, "Don't call me Neko-chan!", but all that came out was, "Hiss!"

"Behave youself Neko-chan or I'll give you to that dog back there", said Sanji pointing to the dog that was following at a distance. Zoro saw the dog and decided that he'd be nice to Sanji until they got to the ship.

Sanji, with the cat Zoro on his shoulder, climbed aboard the Thousand Sunny. Everyone except him and Zoro were back on the ship already.

Luffy spotted Sanji and ran over to greet him. "Sanji, you're back!", said Luffy before spotting the cat. "Sanji, why do you have a green cat on your shoulder?", asked Luffy with his head cocked to the side looking at the strange cat.

"Some cute ladies asked if I'd keep her, and I just couldn't say no. Can I keep her, Luffy?", asked Sanji knowing his idiot captain would say yes.

"Sure! Can I play with her?", asked Luffy.

"Sure! Just be careful with her, and don't eat her", said Sanji handing over the cat.

"Okay!", said a very happy Luffy.

Zoro's eyes got big. "Oi! Don't hand me over to that idiot!!", he tried to say, but all that came out was, "Meow!!"

Sanji headed to the kitchen to make dinner.

Luffy ran over to Usopp to show him the strange cat, "Oi, Usopp! Look at this weird cat!!"

"Luffy? Did you spin that cat around? Why is it green?!", asked Usopp looking at the cat in Luffy's arms with it's ears back and it's eyes wide like it was ready to attack any minute.

"I didn't think about spinning her!!" said Luffy and started spinning around with Zoro hissing and spitting.

"Um, Luffy? Can I hold the cat for a minute? I think your scaring it", said Usopp watching for the cat to attack Luffy any second.

Luffy stopped spinning and said, "Sure!" He handed the cat to Usopp.

Usopp whispered to the cat, "Don't worry, you're safe now. Captain Usopp will protect you!" Usopp thought for sure he saw the cat roll its eyes at him.

"Let's go show Chopper!!", said Luffy running to the infirmary to find the little doctor. Usopp followed him into the infirmary.

"Chopper! Look at this cool cat! He's green!!", said a very excited Luffy.

"Sugei!!", said Chopper while walking to the green cat in Usopp's arms. "He smells a little like Zoro.", said Chopper.

"Nani?! This can't be Zoro right?", asked Usopp.

"He is the same color as Zoro's hair", said Chopper.

"Yes!! They figured it out!", thought Zoro. Remembering Chopper could talk to animals Zoro tried to say, "Chopper, it's me Zoro!" But, of course, all that came out was, "Meow!! Meow!"

"What did she say, Chopper?", asked Luffy.

"I don't know. All I heard was two meows", said Chopper. "Why can't I understand him?", he asked.

"What? He can't understand me?!", thought Zoro.

"I don't know. Let's go ask Robin, she might know.", said Usopp. They found Robin in the aquarium room reading a book.

"Um, Robin. Do you know why Chopper can't understand this cat?", said Usopp.

Robin looked at the green cat Usopp was holding. Luffy was petting its head roughly and the cat was growling. The cat hissed and slapped at Luffy's hands trying to scratch him.

"Bad Neko-chan!!", said Luffy pointing a finger at the green cat.

"I'm going to kill you, Luffy!!", Zoro tried to say, but all that came out was a big hiss.

"Captain-san, don't pet the cat so rough, it won't like it. Here, let me show you. May I hold the cat Longnose-kun?" said Robin.

"Sure", said Usopp handing over the cat.

Robin took the cat and petted him gently on the head and then scratched him under the chin. Soon he relaxed and closed his eyes.

"Longnose-kun, where did this cat come from?", asked Robin.

"Luffy, where did you get that cat?", Usopp asked Luffy.

"She's Sanji's new cat", said Luffy.

"I'm NOT Sanji's pet!", thought Zoro and growled.

"Why does Sanji have a cat?" asked Usopp.

"Some ladies asked him to keep her", said Luffy.

"Oh.", said Usopp. "That makes sense."

Um, Robin? Why can't I understand the cat?", asked Chopper.

"I think I read something about that in a book a while back. I'll do some research on it", Robin said with a smile.

"Okay!", said Chopper smiling too.

"Ne, Captain-san, can I hold the cat for a while? He's so soft", said Robin petting the cat.

"Sure!", said Luffy with a big grin. "Hey, Usopp! Let's go tell everyone about the green cat!" The three guys headed to find Franky, Nami, and Brooks.

"Ken-san, is that you?", asked Robin looking at the cat in her lap.

Zoro looked up at her suprised. "Meow!!", said Zoro trying to say, "Yes, it's me!!"

Robin headed to the kitchen to talk to Sanji.

AN: Sanji looked at the ladies with hearts in his eyes and said, "Hai! Don't worry ladies I won't let that mutt hurt this cat!"

Hai, means yes.

"Oi, Neko-chan. You owe me big time for saving your butt", said Sanji to the cat.

Oi, means hey.

"Sugei!!", said Chopper while walking to the green cat in Usopp's arms. "He smells a little like Zoro.", said Chopper.

Sugei, means wow, awsome, cool.

"Nani?! This can't be Zoro right?", asked Usopp.

Nani, means what.

"Ken-san, is that you?", asked Robin looking at the cat in her lap.

Robin called Zoro "Ken-san" in Ep 159. It means Swordsman-san. I like Ken-san better so I use it instead of Swordsman-san.

I won't be off again until Friday, so I wont have much time to work on Chapter 3 until then. I'll get it up as soon as I can.
