It had been 3 days since they had escaped from the impenetrable Marine base, G8. Zoro was placed in prison there, and was going to be executed, but luckily his friends came and saved him and Usopp and escaped.
Robin was sunbathing on the deck, Luffy was on Merry's head, Sanji and Nami were in the kitchen chatting, and all the others were below deck. Robin felt silly wearing a bikini, but Nami insisted that they bought matching ones, for when they were sunbathing. I can't even swim! She had tried to reason with Nami, but the aggressive ginger wouldn't take no for an answer. "Ya know bikinis aren't just for swimming." She had said with a cheeky wink.
Robin smiled, remembering how Zoro had first reacted when he saw her in it. Nami had dragged her out onto deck, and was ordering around Luffy to bring their deck chairs to them. Sanji came out of the kitchen to see what all the noise was about, and when he saw the beautiful women, he quickly turned and closed the door. Ussop was in the crow's nest and he peeked over the balcony and waved at them. Robin gave him a little smile and a small wave back.
Zoro was on the back deck, sleeping of course. Luffy stumbled over him when he was going to get the deck chairs. "OI IDIOT, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING" He had bellowed. Their captain just responded with his signature smile. "Sorry Zoro! Can you help me get the deck chairs?" The swordsman just grunted at the boy, as he stood up.
He lifted the 2 heavy deckchairs with ease, and Luffy stared on in admiration. "SO COOL! ZORO THOSE ARE SO HEAVY!"
The older man just clicked his tongue at him, and told him to get out of his way. Luffy told him where to put them, and scrambled off. Zoro started walking, then realized he was on the other side of the ship. "How did I get here?" He moved around for a couple more minutes before he found his way down to the main deck.
His eyes scanned Nami up and down after setting down the chairs, but betrayed no emotion. But when he looked at Robin, his eyes widened a bit, and his eyebrows lifted. She blushed and thanked him for bringing them the chairs. He broke their gaze as he looked down at the deck, muttering "It was nothing." while rubbing his neck awkwardly. Nami asked him if he needed anything, or if he was going to just stand there all day, so he left and went to the kitchen.
Robin was interrupted in her daydreams by a small reindeer running up to her and tugging on her hand. "Come help me take a bath, please Robin!" He exclaimed. She giggled and sat up. He continued pulling on her until she said "Ok, Mr. Doctor, I'm coming."
She was led by the small animal to the bathhouse, and when she opened the door for him, steam leaked from the entrance. She looked inside the room, to discover Zoro inside, soaking himself in the communal tub.
The tub was filled with bubbles, as Chopper loved to take bubble baths, even when the water was too deep for him to get a proper cleaning. Usually it was either Zoro or her who helped their small friend clean himself.
Zoro opened one eye, to see Chopper pulling Robin along in her bikini. He remembered what had happened on that day, when he first saw her in it.
He had gone inside the kitchen after the encounter, where Sanji was scrubbing the last of his nosebleed off the floor with a sponge. He chuckled at the green haired dude, who was still blushing. "Shaddup eyebrows. You aren't so smooth when you're with Nami." Sanji stood up and thumped him on the back.
"Glad to see you a little happy for the first time in a while, Marimo." Zoro let himself smile at this. "Fuck you too, dartboard." They both had chuckled and went their separate ways.
Chopper had asked him earlier for help with his bath, but he wasn't expecting Robin as well. He closed his eyes again, and felt the ripple of the water as they both got in. He didn't really know what to do, so he focused on his breathing, and tried to calm himself.
