Why why why why why why why why why why why why why WHY? Nami ran her fingers through her hair and folded them behind her head, resting her elbows on her chart table in front of her. The knock on the door startled her.

"Oi! big sis? Can I come in?" Franky's voice was clear on the other side of the door.

"Y-ya..." Nami stuttered. She couldn't hide her confused composure.

"Whats up? You don't look so good." Franky asked. Everyone on the ship could tell something was up when Nami couldn't focus on one of her maps.

"I've been thinking about what Zoro told me last night. It's just really been bugging me. Especially the part when he told me to stay away from him. I mean that thick headed dumb ass! What? Does he take all of us for fools that he cant relate with? HA! He was the first to join the crew, and I was the second! I've known him for the longest, other than Luffy, I know him best! AND he tells me to stay away from him! As much as he hates to admit it-"

"You like him don't you?"

"HUH?" Nami's head whipped around, her face bright red, as Franky began to smile.

"I- I do not!" Nami said loudly, "I don't..." she said more quietly as she sank on to her bed.

Do I?

"I wont announce it to the whole crew, that much is yours to decide. So will you tell me about Dragon-bro?"

"Uhh.. ya..." Nami said thank full he had changed the topic.

"According to Zoro, Dragaranaga is one of the three most powerful demons on his island, theres a phoenix and a manticore and a dragon. There are levels one through thirteen and the dragon is level thirteen, the only level thirteen. Nami's voice dropped uneasily. Then he told me that I didn't need to know the rest and to stay away from him."

"Alright. Ill see if I can get him to talk about what he didn't tell you."

"Than-"

"OOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIII! THERES SOMETHING BENEETH US!" Usopp's yelling was somewhat muffled but audible.

"Common its probably just a see king or something..." Nami said.

WHAM! Something shook the ship as everyone ran out onto the deck to see why Usopp was so frantic.

"GYES! ITS THE WRANGLERS! THEY HAVE A SUB!" Usopp ran to hide his cabin.

"Dammit. Just what we need right now..." Zoro grumbled still clutching his side and thrashing his head about trying to find his swords.

"We can take 'em as a team!" Luffy said completely ignoring his old unhealed injures.

"Somehow I doubt that. We have a busted up captain and an even more thrashed marimo." Sanji didn't include himself in the scenario.

"It depends on how many and who they decided to send at us." Robin stated bluntly. Arms crossed, "Chopper? How well do you think everyone will be able to fight?"

"You, Usopp, Nami, Brook, and I should be fine to fight. Franky and Sanji will be ok but wont be preforming at there best, that leaves Luffy and Zoro who shouldn't even be moving let alone fighting!"

"Alright so we have about...I'd say..." everyone was staring at her waiting for a response. "About a thirty seven percent chance of victory." Time slowed as everyone realized they may not survive this.

"Oi. Robin. Look here." Zoro said a sneer twisting his lips. He pulled off his shirt and sliced one bandage to pull the fest off, exposing four angry red scars. "Already healed and ready to go!"

Chopper was now the only one with his mouth gaping open. "But...hows that possible? I changed your bandages not two hours ago and you still had gaping holes through your body."

Ya thanks for that... hopefully Nami can help me come up with something to convince him.

I thought you planned on staying away from her? There was a deep mocking laugh in the back of his head.

"I'll explain later." Zoro said coolly. He reached for Wado, his eyes beginning to change from an almost black brown to a brilliant green

Ready?

Hell ya.
