Chapter 14 ;)

My POV? XD

"I. Am going. To murder you all." Ace said as he stood up slowly. The other three must have realized the impending danger and ran for their lives over the sand towards the jungle to where they could lose the mad-man. Normally it wasn't their way to run away, but.. They had no chance against a very upset Fire-Fist Ace.

"Higan!"

"Ah shit!" Zoro yelled as they dove behind a large rock to avoid the flame bullets. Law, Luffy and Zoro sat back against this rock, waiting for any sort of sound. The crackle of fire burning leaves was audible, but it seemed as if Ace had stopped moving. Right when the swordsman relaxed a bit, a hand silently reached around the rock and grabbed him by his shirt, pulling him away. Fire-fist then grinned ominously.

"What's going on? Gettin' all lovey with the guy who nearly raped you and Luffy... What are you thinking?!" Ace hissed into the first-mates face as he held him by the collar. Zoro had no response to these questions though..

"Ace nii-chan, stop!" Luffy pleaded as he stepped out of the boulder's protection. 'Wait...Did he say that Law nearly raped Zoro? Ahh whatever..not now..' Luffy thought to himself. Meanwhile, Zoro desperately tried to kick Ace as he was held up, but his foot only got burned. The younger brother ran towards his first mate to try to help him, but his brother was faster. Fire-Fist turned his back to Luffy and threw Zoro out of the trees and landed back-flat on the hot sand.

"Oh, so you want to get your punishment right now? Don't think I didn't see you kissing La-" Ace barked, but his voice soon trailed off as he fell against a nearby tree, asleep. A few silent and awkward moments passed before Law stepped out and put a hand on Luffy's shoulder protectively. The two of them then quickly dragged Ace back out to the camp site.

Luffy ran over to Zoro as the swordsman slowly regained his breath and sat up. Law followed closely behind, fearing Fire-Fist would wake up again. The young captain clung onto the green-haired man as if he were on the brink of death.

"I can't tell you how sorry I am for doing such awful things to you guys.." Law said honestly, "But if you'll listen, I think I can come up with something to deal with Ace-ya."

Zoro's POV

Luffy and I looked at each other, and listened to Law's dirty plan. It involved him, Ace, and the removal of clothes. The plan was to try to seduce Ace into liking Law also, so then we would all like him, I guess,(?) and have no problems. ( Selfish, yes. But we could then figure out who was more important to us later. ) So after I recovered, I decided to help out a bit. Carefully, we brought the sleeping one closer to the ocean, just so that the waves could soak him. Then Law lay down on the non-oceany-side of Ace, and put an arm around the flame man. When Ace woke up, he would be weakened in the arms of his current enemy. Meanwhile, Luffy and I sat on a fallen tree trunk just beyond the beach.

"Hey Zoro~" Luffy said leaning against my shoulder.

"Yeah?"

"I really don't wanna watch Law and Ace nii-chan.. I would get jealous of both of them. So.. do you think maybe.. we could.. go somewhere else? Alone together?" the captain whispered into my ear quietly. I couldn't help but blush, and looked down at his hand which was now placed on my thigh.

"Uh.. Alright, babe.' What did I just call him!? Luffy smiled like the naughty boy he was and grabbed me by the hand, leading us deeper into the greenery. Our footsteps were muffled over the soft, fertile earth, disturbed every so often by the crack of a fallen stick or crackle of a dried leaf. Patches of shimmery sunlight burst through the trees, splotching light on our path. Magnificently colored birds chirped and flew overhead, making it seem like a dreamland. Luffy showed no sign of stopping, which made me a bit nervous about the route back. The land was starting to get steeper, leading up the nearest mountain. Finally, after several minutes, the leader's footsteps slowed when we came across an abandoned shack which seemed to be on a terrace. It was probably built by a traveling merchant who needed to take a rest, or possibly a pirate on the run.

"Luffy?"

"Hmm? What is it Zoro~?" Luffy responded, with lust in his tone to match his smirk. It was almost too much for my brain to handle. I had already forgotten what I was going to ask him as I was led into this small temporary home. Soft sand covered the floors, making it easier on our worn out feet, and was almost calling out to our bodies to lay down upon it. Whomever constructed this place was clever, that's for sure.

"Ah.. nevermind." I sat down and leaned my bare back against one of the wooden supports, legs spread out. Closing my eyes for a moment, I tried to calm down, but that was nearly impossible when the rustle of clothing was heard falling against the sand. That about sent me over the top. Was he going to keep me waiting any longer? A hand on my pants answered that question. My eyes shot open and I found myself staring right into Luffy's eyes. My heart was about ready to pop out of my body, along with something else a bit lower.

Luffy's expression had turned quickly from seductive to desperate as he felt all over me. Across my chest, around my neck, my face, straddling my left leg. But then he ran his hands gently over the hickeys still left on my upper-body after Law decided to torture me. A frown crept across his face.

"Zoro.. why didn't you tell me about this?" Luffy questioned almost inaudibly. My heart felt like it was sliced in half when I saw him frown like that. I pulled his naked body against my chest and rubbed the back of his head gently. Really, why hadn't I told him?

"I think I just didn't want to interfere with our first alliance with someone... I don't know.." I managed to whisper into his ear. I felt really, really stupid.

"You are more important than him, Zoro! If Law hurt you, I wouldn't care if I broke all ties with him. He deserves it," my captain said sternly, wrapping his arms around my neck tightly, "But then why did it seem like you fell in love with him?" Now that made me think. I supposed that it was just his physical appearance that caught my attention, and the way he acted.

"That man is dangerous, Lu. He leads everyone into his trap and then bites," I stated, almost no emotion in my voice. Something in what I just said was wrong. Law had seemed to be genuinely captured by my romanticism earlier. He didn't appear to have been a bad boy then. I could sense Luffy frowning again, and he was as he looked directly into my eyes.

"You aren't one to get fooled by a person. There was something in Law that you liked, and that I liked too. We just made him change a little," Luffy said to me. He was pretty much right. Law, being surrounded by us, got caught up with our ways and tried to fall into place among us three. He may have just jumped a bit too quickly and got himself in trouble. I smiled and patted Luffy on the back.

"I love you, Luffy," I whispered happily. He grinned and nodded, hugging me tightly. "Now, didn't you have something you wanted to do?" Luffy thought about it for a second, and looked down at himself. His stiff shaft had been rubbing against my hip for some time, which kept me from relaxing the entire time we spoke.

"Hey Zoro?" Luffy said innocently, looking at the ground next to him.

"Yeah?"

"I'm hungry.." He groaned, slumping over against my shoulder. Geez.. I guess I am too; we havent eaten since yesterday's late-lunch.. but I'll make sure he gets fed~ Did that sound weird?

I looked out the doorway and saw several ripe coconuts. It would have to do. I nudged Luffy off of me and walked out, staring up at the nearest coconut. Why'd I leave my katanas back at the camp site.. I'm an idiot. I sighed, and then began the climb up the tree. Carefully, I twisted the fruit off the tree, making it fall to the ground, then slid down again.

"You know, I could have gotten that," Luffy said, laughing from the doorway, still naked. Looking away, I carried the coconut over to him, blushing like red rose.

"Here. You figure out how to crack it op- ahh! Don't eat it whole!"
