Inktober day 5:Chicken
This cracked me up as I was writing it. The idea came from the weirdness that was chapter 3 and is set in the crew's perspectives. Luffy had quite a high fever, but I hope you can see where I'm coming from!
Sanji had just finished breakfast. He yelled over the speakers, "Breakfast's ready!" And most of the crew came to the galley. Most meaning everyone except Luffy. By the time he had appeared, looking more flushed than usual, Zoro had fallen asleep with his head barely missing the roast chicken in the middle of the table.
"Sanji! Is breakfast ready?"
"Yes Luffy, it's been ready for a while," came the reply from the cook. That was strange. Luffy normally picked up on the scent of meat even if he was asleep. Luffy surveyed the table. The rest of his nakama were digging into a pile of croissants, bread, cereal and a huge roast chicken. Luffy blinked, as if he couldn't believe there was a massive pile of meat on the table.
He then yelled, "What are you all doing? Do you see what you're eating?"
Robin replied coolly, "We are eating a very fine specimen of meat. Do you want some? Sanji knows his trade well..." She grabbed one of the chicken wings and pulled. The wing came off with a snap. Robin held it out to him. Luffy backed away.
Franky came up behind him. "Luffy-bro, I thought you liked meat more than anything, are you sure?"
"G-get away from me!" Luffy shrieked, and ran out the door, slamming it loudly.
The rest of the crew stared at the door. "What was that?" Sanji asked.
"No idea."
It was then that Zoro chose to wake up. "Why was Luffy yelling like one of us had been eaten?" He asked. It was then that it clicked.
"You idiot! You couldn't have found somewhere else to sleep?" Zoro was whacked around the head by Nami.
"Okay, okay I'll go find him. Jeez," Zoro walked off to go find his captain. He found him in a quivering mess in a bunk.
"Z-zoro?"
"Yes, it's me. I didn't die and the rest of the crew didn't eat me. Luffy, are you sure you're alright? We don't want our captain getting ill," Zoro said softly, "Can you go and see Chopper? Just in case?" Luffy didn't usually listen, but today he did.
"Zoro?" He asked later.
"Yeah?"
"Thank you,"
"For what?"
"Not being dead,"
"Anytime, captain."
So what started as wtf ended as fluff. Lovely. This is non slash but feel free to interpret.
Reviews always appreciated!
