Chapter 29, yahhoo! :D So they are finally getting closer to the next island and dump Sara, yeah? :D Well, with Luffy it's pretty sure that they are gonna attract attention :_D Poor crew, they have lots to handle!

Sara: Why can't you understand that me and Sanji are perfect match?!

Oneechan94: You clearly have no idea of how well Zoro and Sanji suit each other ~

Sara: But you are creating this story! Change the plot from Zoro x Sanji to Sara x Sanji!

Oneechan94: But I love yaoi! I can't do such a thing :3

Sara: Wha-Wha-WHAT!? YAOI?! YOU ARE GONNA MAKE THEM DO THAT STUFF TOGETHER?!

Oneechan94: Just think about it! Let your imagination run wild!

Sara: Wha - *blushes deeply*

Oneechan94: Nice, isn't it?

Sara: NO WAY!

Oneechan94: But you are blushing ^^

Sara:...shut up, will you?...

...

"Energic as always, captain-san?" Robin chuckled at the man who was jumping on top of crow's nest to see the island sooner.

"It's exiting! A new adventure!" Luffy cheered and bounced around like a rabbit.

"But how do you know if this adventure will be our last?" Robin suggested and Luffy sticked out his tongue at her.

"No way, you idiot!" Luffy mocked their archeologist but was soon sent flying towards the deck.

"DON'T INSULT OUR BEAUTIFUL ROBIN-SWAN LIKE THAT!" Sanji preached at their captain.

"You don't need to worry so much, Cook-san," Robin reassured with a smile."I can give our captain a lesson too if needed!"

"I am sure you can punish this idiot likelywise as any other member on board, Robin-swan!" Sanji swooned while his mind was throwing dirty images of different kinds of punishments. Then shivers ran trough his spine and he slowly turned to face their archeologist."I was joking, Robin-swan!"

"It wasn't even close a joke, Cook-san," Robin said in a creepy tone.

"It was a bad joke!" Usopp suddenly shouted from behind Robin.

"It was a bad joke!" Chopper repeated from behind Usopp.

"You guys..." Sanji tried to stay calm."Do you want to get your guts spilled?" He asked perfectly calmly but there was a darker meaning behind his words.

"Sanji is scary!" Chopper panicked and tried to hide behind Usopp's back.

"Oi joi, Sanji-kun, why are you raising your leg like that?!" Usopp shouted in panic when he saw the familiar fight-gesture the chef was taking."Please put it down before someone is gonna get hurt!"

"Eh? Who is going to get hurt?" Sanji asked stupidly.

"Eh...probably me?" Usopp suggested and the chef attacked the long-nosed man without mercy.

...

The weather was calm for landing on the next island. They could not see the island yet but everyone knew they would reach the island during the day.

"So, Sara-san, can you tell us anything about your home island?" Nami inquired. Every piece of information could save their lives.

"Well, it has been around six years since I left the island so anything could have changed..." Sara sighed. She had started to look forward to seeing her home after a long time. "I can only remember that it was a calm island, people didn't care if it was marines or pirates running ashore as far as they got customers who wouldn't wreck the city."

"Did they have a marine base in there?" Robin asked some details.

"I don't think so..." Sara answered."But they had some sort of organization which took care of pirates who didn't behave..."

"Organization?" Zoro raised a brow. "What was the island called again?"

"Nekuru's island,"Sara answered.

"Something on your mind, kenshi-san?" Robin inquired.

"The island sounds somehow familiar but I can't quite place it..." Zoro admitted.

"Maybe it has got something to do with your past?" Nami suggested.

"Probably, because otherwise we would have probably heard about it too," Robin explained.

"Nekuru's island, you said?" Franky interrupted,"Sounds suupeer familiar!"

"You know something?" Nami asked seriously.

"There is an organization for pirate hunters in the town but it's said that they wouldn't attack unless given a reason. So as long as we don't cause havoc in there we should be fine," Franky remembered.

"An organization of pirate hunters who don't hunt all the pirates? Somehow fishy..." Zoro hissed by himself.

"But isn't it good for us? If nobody causes trouble, we should be fine!" Franky reasoned.

"Yes, IF nobody causes trouble..." Nami sighed and turned to look at their captain.

"Yes, there is a certain someone who is bount to cause trouble for us..." Robin added, chuckling slighty.

"That's sure..." Franky joined.

"Well, if Luffy causes trouble and they come after us, we just need to beat them, right?" Zoro grinned widely. Somehow they suspected that the swordman would cause trouble on purpose to get a fight.

"WE ARE NOT GOING TO CAUSE TROUBLE, IS THAT CLEAR?!" Nami ordered and the swordman's grin faded away.

...

"I SEE AN ISLAND!" Luffy shouted happily and jumped down on the deck to run around like a maniac.

"Calm down, Luffy!" Usopp almost begged for their captain."We don't want you to fall of the deck before landing so be a good boy and sit down!"

"Aye Aye, Usopp!" Luffy grinned and sat on top of Lion's head.

Nami raised a thumb at Usopp who had managed to calm their captain down with a single, well-picked line. "Really, that idiot..."she sighed by herself at their restless captain.

"Nami-san!" Sanji swooned after their navigator."Some strawberry parfait for you, my lady."

"Thank you, Sanji-kun!"

Sanji took similar parfaits to Robin and Sara also before he went back to the kitchen. Chopper had allowed him to do something simple and he had decided to delight the ladies on board.

When he stepped into the kitchen, somebody closed the door behind him. "Is there any dessert for me?" he heard the familiar, low voice.

"Sorry, Baka-Marimo, dessert is only for ladies," Sanji hissed and put the tray away.

"That's not what I meant..." Zoro murmured and closed the distance between them with one, long step. He kissed the blond quickly before pulling away."Besides, I don't even like sweet things..."

"Then what's your preference?" Sanji wondered.

"Well that's - - " Zoro was about to say something but then he noticed one, annoying woman standing on the doorway.

"Don't mind me, I just came to drop this cup. It was delicious as always, Cook-san," Robin chuckled and excused herself from the kitchen. Zoro and Sanji had had their hands around each other' waists and Robin was clever enough to figure out what it meant.

"You..." Sanji said quietly, almost whispering.

"What? Somebody stole your ability to speak?" Zoro mocked.

"...IDIOTIC MOSS-HEAD!" Sanji shouted and kicked the idiot ouf the kitchen. He hadn't wanted to get caught like that, especially by Robin...it was one, humiliating situation and Robin would surely remind them about the scene many times!

Author's note:

Yes, of course Robin would "accidently" see them together first ;) Way to go, Robin-chan! :D
