Devilish

Zoro

Law clashed swords with Zoro with excruciating force. Sweat dropped off of Law's forehead as Zoro picked up his other sword to strike. Law withdrew and clashed his sword again. Clash, clash. The two men had been dueling with each other all morning - they're both good matches for each other to work up a sweat. Leila stood with Nami drinking some concoction that Sanji had made them as they watched the two muscle heads duel, enjoying the man candy.

"He's quite the stud isn't he..." Nami mentioned casually, twirling her hair in boredom.

"Zoro?" Leila asked as she wrinkled her nose in confusion. Honestly, she had been paying more attention to Law's swordsmanship. Watching the way he skillfully fought interested her incredibly.

"W-what? No! Law!" Nami laughed "Why does your mind immediately jump to Zoro" She teased Leila, eyeing her up curiously

Leila shook her head in refusal. "It's not like that..."

"Does he know that?" Nami gestured towards Zoro

"Of course he does! I understand why people keep on assuming it but they should be able to tell when he doesn't even pay attention to me half the time"

Zoro clashed his swords against Law's once again, making Law falter in his step and fumble his sword slightly. This was no match to determine strength, the two had been dueling all morning and the signs of fatigue were beginning to show. Despite this, Zoro looked up to Leila and grinned triumphantly, as if communicating 'Did you see that?!' . This caused Nami to choke on her drink and laugh to herself, as he had instantly proved Leila wrong.

"Yeah yeah, shut up" Leila smirked, shaking her head in disbelief but her mind was whirring. She couldn't deny when her and Zoro first became close there was some tension. The two were young and attractive and it would be a lie to say that the two didn't have a past.

Law's chest was heaving as he was out of breath but he wasn't going to finish on the losing end. With incredibly quick movement he had his sword swinging up to Zoro's neck in his distraction. Zoro matched his tempo immediately, their swords trembling due to the strength pressed against them but Law was closing the distance ever so slightly. "Maybe you shouldn't get so distracted by a woman, Roronoa..." Law challenged with a cocky smirk. Zoro scoffed and went to strike back but Luffy bounced into the duo, sending them crashing to the floor.

"Guys I'm hungry lets go find some meat! Meat!" Luffy encouraged the duo. Law's veins pertruded from his forehead as he felt increasingly annoyed. 'I was just about to prove myself....' Law thought before catching himself as his gaze settled on Leila. 'Prove myself? Prove myself to who?'

Zoro sighed and got up, collecting his swords. He was not as annoyed as Law, he was used to Luffy's antics by now and he couldn't focus on anything until Luffy ate. He wouldn't let him. Nami headed over towards the crew, also excited to grab some food as Leila followed. She settled in between Law and Zoro as Zoro leant on her shoulder with his elbow.

"Get off you lump you're crushing me" Leila pushed him off her teasingly. Zoro just smirked at her as the crew headed off to get some food. As Leila moved to follow, Law grabbed onto Leila's wrist, causing her to look back in surprise.

The two hadn't discussed what had happened in the bathroom - they just moved on like adults.

"What's wrong, you okay?" Leila asked him. Law didn't reply but moved Leila's hair off of her shoulder to expose her neck, he gently pulled her shirt below her collarbone to see that the mark he had left on her milky skin was still there. The mark that he made by nipping at her collarbone in the steamy bathroom the day prior. Leila felt a blush spread across her cheeks when she realised what he was checking and Law smirked at her triumphantly, walking off to the inn to wash up.
