Day 24- Chop.
My very late Zoro birthday present, from the self acclaimed queen of useless timing!
Set just after Syrup Village and before the Baratie. Ignore that one Mugiwara Theatre episode about the crew's food before Sanji.

Luffy was hungry again. No surprise there. They had just left Syrup Village on the Going Merry and so were checking out the ship. Nami was looking at hold space and, of course, her room. Usopp and Zoro... well who knew where they were. Luffy smelled something delicious coming from the galley and went to investigate. He sneakily opened the door and peered in. And was utterly surprised at what he saw. His eyes bulged out and he stopped in the doorway.
Chop. Chop. Chop.

Zoro. Cooking.

"Oi."

"Oi, Luffy."

"LUFFY!" Luffy was snapped out of whatever he was in.

"Wha?"

"Oh good, you're done gawking. You coming in or not?" Zoro said. Luffy scrambled inside the galley.

"Zoro?"

"Yeah?"

"Whatcha making?"

"Pasta bolognese. It's one of the only things I know how to do. Kaya gave us all the ingredients, so I'm making the sauce. Just have to chop the onions now. Would've been nicer if there was ready-made sauce, but I guess beggars can't be choosers..."he trailed off.

"Zoro?"

"Yeah?"

"Does pasta bolognese use meat?"

"It does, Luffy."

"Yeah! GUYS! ZORO'S MAKING PASTA BOLOGNESE!" Cue feet running towards the galley.

"Luffy! It's not ready yet!"

"GUYS! ZORO SAYS IT'S NOT READY YET!" Cue feet walking away sadly.


15 minutes later, the four person crew was sitting in the galley eating pasta bolognese.

"This is really good Zoro!" Said Usopp through a second plate.

"Yeah, I wouldn't have believed a sword-idiot would be capable of such mastery!" Nami said.

"I am... conflicted..." muttered Zoro. Meanwhile, Luffy was acting like a food vacuum cleaner and by the time Zoro, Nami and Usopp had finished their meals, Luffy had eaten the rest of it. And Zoro had made a lot of it.
"Zoro?"

"Yeah?"

"Can we have this again?"

"Sure, if we have the stuff for it."

"Zoro?"

"Yeah?"

"Can you be our temporary cook?"

"Uhhhh... ok?"

"YAY!"

"I think I made a mistake there."

"So do we Zoro, so do we."

It's a week late, but at least it's done! Sorry for the wait, this took a long time to come!
