17th chapter! :D It's really relaxing to get your ideas out of your head like this so that the story in your head will be finished :) Please enjoy and review! :D I have noticed I have difficulties in writing "swordman" because almost every time I write it "sworman" which sounds almost like sworm-man :_D Zoro is no sworm! :D

...

"Hey Nami!" Franky shouted. "When are we going to arrive to the next island?"

"I can't say for sure..." Nami sighed. "With the weather of the New World it might take from few days to many weeks!"

"That's bad...We are running out of emergency Cola like this!" Franky almost cursed.

"How much Cola is left?" Nami inquired the details.

"Approximately there is Cola enough for one Coup De Burst!" Franky informed the navigator who nodded slightly.

"Then we have to manage without it as long as possible!" Nami ordered and Franky did his usual hentai-pose.

The ship swayed hard and Nami got to grab the steering wheel to keep her balance.

"LUFFY!" Usopp shouted in panic."Let it go! It will pull our ship!"

"But it's big! Nami ordered us to catch some fish so that we have something to eat! No way I am letting it go!" Their stubborn captain stated and Zoro shoke his head while pulling one of his swords out of its shield.

"Let me handle that fish, captain,"Zoro sighed and stepped forward to give the fish a finishing blow.

"Yahhoo! It's show-time! Zoro versus Mr Fish!" Luffy cheered, which greatly annoyed the swordman.

"DON'T MAKE THIS SOME STUPID SHOW, YOU IDIOT!" Zoro shouted angrily." AND YOU GUYS,WHY ARE YOU EATING POPCORN OVER THERE?! IS THIS SOME KIND OF A CINEMA?!"

Chopper, Brook and Usopp blinked. "Is he talking about us?"

"Why didn't you tell me you had popcorn?! That's unfair!" Luffy whined and tried to grab the bowl full of popcorns.

"You would only eat them all!" Usopp explained and dodged Luffy's 'gomu-gomu no popcorn thief' movement.

"That's right, Luffy-san!" Brook joined the choir. "You shouldn't steal from your elders!"

"WHAT'S WITH THE RUCKUS OVER HERE AGAIN?!" Sanji rushed out of the infirmary and re-opened his wound again. He had been angry when he had stood up to kick the shit out of those idiots but then his anger calmed down when he realised he saw the scene in front of him. "CHOPPER! I can see!" Sanji cheered and jumped to the air, regretting it the moment he fell back down and the very familiar pain ran through his body.

"Idiot," Zoro hissed.

"Ah? What was that, you baka-marimo?" Sanji started his usual 'begging-for-a-fight'-speak when he was interrupted by a thight hug from behind.

"I am so happy for you,Sanji-san!" Sara cheered, not really remembering that the chef was injured and she was pressing his wounds. "It will be only a matter of time before your taste and smell returns!"

"Ah~ My beautiful Sara-chan is even more gorgeus than the last time I saw her ~" Sanji swooned as usual.

"Should't you be resting?" Sara worried. "Come on, let me take you back to the infirmary."

"With you I would go anywhere, my dear!" Sanji vowed and walked away with Sara.

Everyone except Zoro missed how Sara sticked her tongue out and made faces at the swordman behind the blond's back.

...

Every member of the Strawhat crew noticed how their swordman was neglecting his daily training and merely walking around, deep in thought. It was the side of the former pirate hunter which they got to see in pretty rare occassions.

"Something bothering you, Zoro-san?" Brook suddenly asked, being the first one to approach the swordman.

Zoro just sighed and turned his head away. "Nothing."

"But there must be a reason why you are wandering around like a ghost," Brook explained his visions and Zoro grinned a little.

"A living skeleton is asking me that?" Zoro noted and Brook's jaw almost fell.

"You are probably right..." Brook admitted. "You don't seem pretty fond of Sara-san?"

Zoro blinked at the sudden guestion."I don't seem pretty fond of her?! I don't like her at all!" Zoro hissed and crossed his arms.

"Why is that?" Brook inquired even though he didn't wait for a proper answer - it was their swordman he was talking to after all.

"I...am not really sure about it myself..." Zoro admitted only half of the truth." Maybe I have lived with weirdos for such a long time that I can't possibly stand a normal human being?" He suggested but he wasn't really serious.

"Are you trying to imply that our crew is full of weirdos?" Brook asked. As if he hadn't noticed all the weirdos on board.

"Yes. All of us," Zoro added.

"Even me?" Brook asked in a shocked tone.

"Even you, yes," Zoro answered the shocked guestion.

For a while it seemed like Brook felt insulted but then he started to laugh. "Yohohoho! Zoro-san is harsh as usual!"

"Do you like that woman then?" Zoro said. He refused to use Sara's name, in order to express how much he hated her.

"What? No way! She is way too young for me!" Brook answered and laughed."And she refused to show me her panties..."

"Really? Doesn't that happen with every woman you meet?" Zoro grinned widely.

"Zoro-san, you surely are a little bit too harsh..." Brook sighed with depressed tone.

...

"Robin! Here is one coffee coming for you in the elevator!" Usopp informed their archeologist who had been studying in the aquarium room.

"Thank you, Longnose-kun!" Robin shouted from below and took her coffee out of the small elevator. She had her suspicions of how the sniper was acting all gentleman with the ladies on board at the moment: either Sanji had threatened him by breaking his overly long nose or not giving him any food for a week so that his ladies wouldn't be disappointed when he was playing the nice patient.

...

Strawhats were eating in the kitchen as usual. Luffy was trying to steal from everyone, even from ladies,and putting on an innocent act. Everyone else's meal was somehow the same as usual: protecting their shares of food from their captain's developing tricks.

"Somebody should take Sanji-kun's share of food to him!" Nami presented her request.

Sara immediately stood up. "I can take it!"

But likelywise did Zoro. "I can take it for you."

Everyone looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief: was Zoro really having a verbal fight against a woman only to take some food to Sanji?

"You don't need to!" Sara said and tried to reassure the swordman. It had no effect at all.

"I will take it. This weight it not for woman to carry," Zoro explained and grabbed the food before Sara could even react.

"It's no trouble at all! I am used to heavy weights!" Sara tried to defend herself but it was no use.

"I will take it and that's final," Zoro said strictly and when he realised the woman wasn't going to give up so easily, he pulled out his trumph card. "Besides, Sanji wouldn't be too delicted to realise a woman was carrying something like this for him."

Sara tensed and admitted her defeat by sitting back down. She tried to take a bite of her food which no longer existed.

"LUFFY!" Nami kicked the idiot."Can't you try to be a little more polite to our guest?!"

"It's alright! I don't feel like eating anyways!" Sara reassured the navigator but received a worried look from the doctor. He was probably thinking of some sort of diagnosis.

Sara tensed a little at the word "guest" but she knew the navigator was right: she had only stayed on the ship to reach the next island and nothing more. Why was she suddenly feeling so hurt about it?

...

Author's note:

I somehow like the idea of how Zoro and Sara would "fight over Sanji" and I think it works? :P So a pissed Zoro will take some food to Sanji...What, indeed, WHAT could possibly happen? :P Well, if Zoro can find the infirmary... I wonder how he will find "this" and "that" when he has got so poor sense of direction :_D

And I have decided that I won't stop writing unless I am happy with the story! :D So I won't give myself the "max-chapters"-limit :P I want to write more than one hot scene! :_D And lots of flirting and stuff :D And also something about how the crew will react etc... :D
