After shimming into the tiny dress I made my way out on deck, looking for a certain swordsman. I spied him leaning against the mast, finding it hard to doze off with Luffy, Usopp and Chopper playing tag right in front of him.
"Hey," I said as I made my way over to him. Zoro's eyes raked my body involuntarily, and I could only assume he liked what he saw.
"I thought you didn't like dresses," he replied.
"I changed my mind," I said. "Doesn't it look good on me?"
Zoro shrugged and I moved to sit down next to him, placing my legs onto his lap. I leaned into his ear and couldn't help but smirk as I whispered, "I would look better wearing nothing though."
The effect was instantaneous, Zoro's cheeks became flustered and he turned away. I took the chance to move my finger delicately down his chest, earning an annoyed glare.
"What are you trying to do?" he asked, swatting my hand away. I gave him a completely innocent look before standing up.
"Nothing!" I replied. "I'm going to go find Law, later Zoro!"
Operation complete. Zoro was now both thinking of what I'd look like naked AND being jealous of Law. It has to only be a matter of time before he caves in.
I offered to show Law around the ship and when he agreed I made a bee-line for the crows nest after overhearing Zoro tell Nami he would be going up there to train shortly. After we climbed up, I brought him over to the edge of the glass windows and leaned on the bench with my knees as we both appreciated the incredible view. I've been up here hundreds of times yet the view on a perfect day like this never gets old. As I heard Zoro climbing up the ladder, I leaned forward on the bench even more so that my ass was popping out. His head came into view and his eyes were looking directly at my butt, and since I was still wearing the tiny dress from before - he was getting a great view of one of the sexy g-strings Nami had bought me.
"What are you guys doing up here?" Zoro asked after clearing his throat. Law and I turned to face him.
"I'm just showing Law around the ship," I explained simply.
Zoro scoffed, "well I'm going to start training so I suggest you leave."
I shrugged and led Law back down the ladder, continuing the tour as I showed him the aquarium, how we work the 'coup de burst' , the Mini Merry, and ended the tour with the rear of the ship. By the time we had completed it, I could hear Zoro head into the showers and so I began the final part of our well thought-out plan.
After saying bye to Law, I headed into my room first and stripped out of my dress, leaving myself in my underwear. I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my body as I headed into the shower room. Once I entered, I dropped my towel to the ground.
"What the hell are you doing in here?" Zoro yelled. I looked up to see him with only boxers on.
"S-sorry I didn't know anyone was in here-" I replied, feigning innocence quite well. As I leaned down to retrieve my towel, Zoro made his way over to me in two quick strides and slammed his hand on the door behind us, entrapping my petite figure between him and the door. His eyes scanned down my half-naked body before he met my gaze.
"I know what you've been trying to do," he spoke. "And it's not working."
My eyebrows raised at this statement, "your flustered state says otherwise," I replied in a smooth tone and leaned in closer allowing our chests to touch as I looked up at him with needing eyes.
Zoro let out a sigh, "why are you doing this?"
"You know why," I replied, referring to how he ignored me for days. "Why is it so hard for you to admit you might have developed feelings for someone?"
If Zoro was red before, now he was a tomato. "It's not that - just... Fuck!" his voice grew. "I've never liked someone like I like you before and I freaked out because I didn't know what to do and you used to be a guy so I was confused," he continued his strange outburst and refused to meet my eyes.
"So what does this make us?" I asked him, wanting a definite answer.
Zoro shrugged, "let me put it this way - I don't want you flirting with that Shitty Surgeon anymore."
I raised my left eyebrow, "and why's that?" I asked.
"Because you're mine," he growled deeply and after hearing those three words I could no longer contain my gleeful smile.
My face relaxed after hearing those words, I'm his. "Big tough Zoro has a soft side huh?" I asked with a wide grin, not bothering to hide how happy I was to hear him say that.
The swordsman's face contorted in annoyance at this and he roughly lifted my face up before smashing his lips down onto mine. I reacted immediately and opened my lips to allow him to explore my mouth once more. He broke for air and as we reconnected I could feel him getting desperate and hungry for more. Zoro suddenly pushed me up against the door and his lips trailed down to kiss my neck, as he attached his mouth to my collarbone I let out a moan, wanting more. Any shyness Zoro had displayed from before had vanished as he had complete control of me, melting me with his soft kisses down my neck. Not wanting him to have all the fun, I shoved him gently back and moved past him to turn on the shower, making it a perfectly warm temperature. I turned around and let Zoro watch me with needy eyes as I reached behind and unclasped my pink bra, letting it fall to the ground. Next, I tugged down the rims of my panties and stepped out of them. After watching me do this, Zoro moved forward and gripped my hips, pulling my naked body against his torso as he locked lips with me once more. I could feel him move around during the kiss, and I felt him guide me gently into the shower.
"Dinner!" I yelled, and in moments the kitchen was full of hungry idiots who were prying to get the largest piece of meat.
"We'll sail out tonight," Nami spoke up. She shot Luffy a deadly glare before continuing, "and since we have an idiot of a captain, we've picked the most dangerous course and the next island we reach is expected to be quite a big threat so prepare yourselves for the worst," she spoke, referring to the log pose.
"Hopefully it'll be more exciting than the island we're at now is," Usopp commented between sips of water. After drying off the last pan, I moved to take my normal seat opposite Zoro, and filled my plate with the last slice of meat. I took a sip of my red wine.
"I heard from people yesterday that a winter island nearby was attacked by a Buster Call from the marines," Brook spoke up, making us all turn to look at him. "Apparently there is a very strong pirate crew hiding on the island, who have been killing civilians and destroying the island therefore the Marines have been sent to capture them."
Robin raised her eyebrows, "did you happen to catch the name of the pirate crew?" she asked.
Brook seemed deep in thought for a moment, "the Black King pirates or something like that," he replied.
Robin stopped drinking from her glass, "The Black King pirates are infamous for the run-in they had with one of the Yonkos, Shanks about a year ago. They managed to fight square on with his crew and also got away safely," she said. "If they are on that island, we need to be extremely careful."
Nami and Usopp had tears forming in their eyes as they glared at Luffy, "Luffy why did you have to pick that island," she asked tearfully. However, Luffy was too excited about hearing of Shanks to even pay them any attention.
" If you guys get into a fight with those pirates I will kill you all," Usopp cried out, but we all knew it was no use. Luffy would pick a fight with them in seconds, so we'd better all prepare for a tough battle.
Dinner was finished and everyone headed to bed while Brook headed up to the crows nest to start watch. I folded the dish towel I had been using to dry the plates and exited the kitchen, surprised to see Zoro still awake and sitting against the railing.
"What are you doing out here?" I asked quietly and sat down next to him, leaning my head on his shoulder.
"Thinking about all the strong enemies we will get to face at the next island," he said with a grin. "I haven't had a proper fight in a long time."
I nodded, "it will be fun to rough up some marines and dirty pirates." After a moment of silence my eyes began to droop and so I stood up. "I'm going to bed," I told him. "Don't sleep out here, you'll get sick."
"Yeah, yeah," he grunted in response and I headed to the girls room for a much needed rest. However my mind kept wondering to the talk at dinner about the 'Black King' pirates. I didn't realise it then, but that name sounded strangely familiar to me.
