Sixth chapter, yohohoho! I am writing too fast, too fast for my beta to have time to check my texts . Maybe I should slow down and try to fix my own mistakes as well as I can? :D But anyways, please enjoy and be patient for the action and "action" XP

Anoni-chan, thanks for the reviews :D I got both of them to my email but by some reason they are not published here yet :/ Just though to let you know! :D And those reviews really cheered me on!

...

Captain Dess looked around the room and stared at the blond chef pretty intensively. He didn't feel like partying at the moment even though Luffy was trying to cheer the man up. He had something else in his mind.

He went to greet Dennis the messenger who was sitting alone in one corner,"Hello Dennis!"

Dennis glared at the black-haired man and sighed deeply,"I know, you are wondering why that man is still alive," he said but didn't bother to answer the obvious guestion.

"Well?" Captain Dess inquired, sounding a little pissed off.

"If that swordman hadn't knocked his door, that blondie would have been dead, for sure, before the sunrise!" Dennis cursed and cluched his fist.

"Curse him! Curse the whole crew!" Captain Dess hissed,"Without the crew that blondie would have never arrived here and flirted with MY fianceé!"

"Are you going to do something about it?" Dennis suggested and grinned widely.

Captain Dess laughed loudly before he smirked,"That would be lovely, wouldn't it?"

Zoro couldn't miss the evil look on Dess' face but he said nothing. He just hoped that it wouldn't be too much trouble for the whole crew.

...

Everyone felt pretty tired after eating their stomach's full. Moving was difficult expecially to Strawhat Luffy who resembled more of a balloon than a human. Zoro had drank a lot more than usual and he was slightly drunk likelywise as Nami who had a great tolerance for alcohol.

Sanji was heading towards Chopper's room since his room was full of gas,"Is it okay if I stay here for another night?" He asked even though he knew the answer already.

"No problem!" Chopper said, smiling, as Sanji had predicted.

Sanji laid himself down on the sofa and Chopper stared at him,"Sanji?" the small doctor called out suddenly.

"What is it, Chopper?" Sanji wondered what could possibly bother the small doctor.

"I investigated that gas a little bit...and checked your symptoms..." Chopper started and fell silent.

"And?" Sanji inquired.

"Well, that gas is by no means normal gas...it's some sort of poison gas which shouldn't be kept close to humans, especially not in a living space for humans..." Chopper explained.

Sanji blinked before he understood what it meant,"So, in short, somebody really wanted to finish me off?" The small doctor nodded.

"But it's good that you are sleeping here now because if they try to do it again, I will smell the gas a lot earlier than you!" Chopper said, sounding really confident and Sanji smirked at the small doctor. "You should probably say 'thanks' to Zoro."

It took few seconds before Sanji understood what the doctor had said."Me?! Saying 'thanks' to that Marimo?! No way!" Sanji vowed but he was thinking of giving the idiot a bottle of sake back at the ship: he didn't want to owe anything to a green-haired bastard like him.

Well, it's good that Chopper is here...but I doubt gas is the only trick they have in their sleeves...

...

"Hey Luffy!" Zoro shouted out before the captain would close the door to his room,"You have a minute?"

Luffy rubbed his eyes but nodded,"What's wrong, Zoro?"

"Let's speak in your room,"Zoro suggested and went after Luffy and closed the door after them,"We need to be careful."

Luffy blinked and sat down on his bed,"Why is that?"

"That guy was acting weirdly tonight and glaring at us like a wild beast hunting his prey. I think he is going to make his move soon..." Zoro explained his visions.

"He might be going after Sanji first, you think?" Luffy asked and Zoro nodded.

"I don't know why though, I just have the feeling..." Zoro sighed and prepared to leave the room.

"Don't worry about it too much!" Luffy said cheerfully,"If something happens, we will take care of it!"

Zoro smirked at his captain,excited about the possible fight,"No problem!"

...

Brook woke up in the middle of the night. He heard someone walking slowly outside the door. It was around two o'clock in the morning and everyone should have been in their rooms already when the party had ended at ten o'clock.

He decided to check the hallway with his devil fruit powers: wandering around as a mere soul was a pretty creepy habit. He was thinking of sneaking into the girls rooms but decided to be serious this time.

He saw that guy called Dennis walking around in the hallway. He was clearly deep in thought. Brook watched the man for a while before he went trough the wall to room number 76.

"Ano...Zoro-san..." Brook called out, even tough he knew the swordman was a pretty deep sleeper who could sleep through storms.

It was a pure miracle how Zoro opened his eye almost immediatelly. Well, maybe he hadn't been sleeping at all.

"What is it, Brook?" Zoro asked.

"That Dennis-guy, the messenger, is walking in the hallway and acting pretty suspiciously," Brook reported what he had seen.

Zoro stood up carefully and went to press his ear against the door. He could hear someone, apparently Dennis, walking in the hallway,"What is he doing?"

"He is just walking back and forth in the hallway, looking around him pretty often as if checking if someone sees him,"Brook explained and Zoro nodded before he stepped out of the door.

"Hey Dennis!" Zoro greeted the man who tensed and looked at Zoro's direction,"What are you doing out here?"

"He is pretty straight-forward, that Zoro-san..." Brook sighed quietly.

"Ah, I just thought I heard something..." Dennis lied but Zoro noticed it: they had the worst liar on their ship all the time, after all.

"Really? Maybe a mouse?" Zoro suggested stupidly and played along.

"That could be the case...but nothing for you to get worried about! You can go back to sleep!" Dennis tried to reassure the swordman but Zoro was not going to give up so easily.

"I could help you look for that mouse!" Zoro offered his help against the non-existing mouse and they both knew it.

"It's fine really!" Dennis vowed and left towards the stairs before he felt a cold metal against his throat and he froze.

"I don't trust you guys. You are planning something, aren't you? And it has got something to do with Sanji?" Zoro interrogated the poor man whose destiny was up to Zoro and his sword. The use of the chef's real name meant that he was being death-serious.

"I can't tell you", Dennis answered simply,"I am just a messenger, there is no reason to kill me!"

Zoro thought about it for a second and let the man go,"Just for you to know, I won't hesitate to kill you even if you are just a messenger."

Dennis nodded at the swordman, shaking slightly. Something about the swordman gave him goosebumbs.

...

There was a low whistle outside the mansion. Captain Dess was standing at the roof of the mansion and whistling.

Soon there was a sound of flapping wings getting closer to Captain Dess. He grinned and heard a soft thud next to him when the one he had called out had landed on the roof next to him.

"Hey Pretty!" He greeted the familiar figure,"So how was your tour?"

"Those three Strawhats are sleeping quietly. I came to ask what would you like me to do," a low woman voice spoke out.

"That's great", Captain Dess said and grinned widely,"Do what you want, Pretty. I will send Dennis after you."

The woman called sarcastically as Pretty nodded and flew off towards Thousand Sunny. The moonlight revealed her beast-kind of form which included sharp nails and a long beak.

...

The loud explosion woke everyone up. The explosion came from the room 75, where Chopper and Sanji had been sleeping. Well, they had been sleeping before they woke up to the explosion or most likely, they were already dead.

"CHOPPER! SANJI!" Luffy shouted and rushed towards the room which was a total mess.
