Not Just A Punishment [SLIGHTLY EDITED]

punishment [cameraman pov]

"What'd you just say?" Zoro asked in annoyance.

The green haired swordman and the blonde haired cook stood a few inches away from each other. Zoro was glaring at a smirking Sanji.

"You heard me. You're just a swordsman whose sense of direction is fucked up," Sanji answered mockingly.

"Hey, guys! Stop!" Chopper shouted, trying to mediate the situation.

"Remember yesterday?! You got lost on the ship! The fucking ship!" Sanji said.

A day ago

"Oi, where's Zoro?!" Ussop asked.

"What do you mean, where's moss head?! He boarded before you!" Sanji answered.

"Don't tell me he got lost on Sunny!" Nami added.

"I guess we have to find him, then. Again," Robin suggested.

Everyone then spreaded out and looked for Zoro. Ussop and Chopper looked in Zoro's room but he wasn't there. Nami and Robin checked the other rooms but he wasn't there, either. Sanji and Luffy checked the galley and kitchen, only to find Luffy stuffing food into his mouth and the blonde cook slapping the back of his head. Franky and Brook checked around the ship and found no signs of Zoro. Everyone regrouped at the deck after an hour.

"He's nowhere to be found," Nami concluded.

"Can't we just leave him behind? He's not that helpful," Sanji suggested.

"Leave who behind?"

Everyone cocked their heads to the lawn to see the greenie standing there.

"Where the hell were you, dumb swordsman?! We've been looking for you on the ship!" Sanji blasted his question.

"I..." Zoro answered, trying to find a reason.

Everyone stared in anticipation as Zoro tried to think of a reason. Zoro couldn't think of anything so he only said the one thing he knew they would overreact to.

"I got lost."

Everyone turned white, almost giving up hope in the swordsman's sense of direction. In the end, everyone just forgave him and sailed away from the island they docked at. Well, everyone except Sanji.

Now

"You made us look for you on the whole ship! If we could, I'd leave you on that island so you can swim back to the ship. If you can find your way, that is," Sanji mocked.

Zoro was angered. He couldn't hold back his urge to slice the stupid love cook into pieces anymore. Chopper could see the intense situation and then moved back.

"You fucking bastard! I'll slice you in pieces!" Zoro threatened, ready to pull out his katanas.

"Go ahead! Catch me if you can, arrogant fucker!" Sanji taunted.

Zoro, without hesitation, pulled out his katanas and attacked Sanji, swinging his almost powerful katanas at him. Sanji then dodged the attack and kicked one of them out of Zoro's right hand. Zoro growled angrily and attacked again. This time, he aimed for Sanji's dominant leg. Sanji dodged the attack again and scoffed.

"Is that all you got, moss head? Not even a scar or bruise on me yet! Fucking lame for "World's Best Swordsman" wannabe," Sanji provoked.

"You bastard..." Zoro mumbled before running up on Sanji.

Zoro injured Sanji's dominant leg, causing Sanji's inability to attack. Despite the injury, Sanji kept using his leg to attack although he knew his kicks were going to be ineffective against Zoro's sharp katanas. The pair just kept fighting, oblivious to the surroundings of the ship. Zoro was about to deal one more strike when Luffy intervened and grabbed him from the back.

"Zoro! Sanji! Stop! You're gonna destroy the ship if you guys continue!" Luffy shouted.

Zoro stopped after hearing captain's orders and looked around. The ship was almost a mess and it was all because of the long fight. He then yielded, lowering his katanas and grabbing the other that got kicked off his hand. Chopper rushed to Sanji with a first aid kit and treated his leg.

"Seriously, you two. Isn't there one damn day when the both of you just not fight each other?" Nami asked as she stood at the scene.

"Well, he started it," Zoro and Sanji said in sync, looking at each other angrily.

"It's both of your faults, idiots!" Nami shouted as she punched the duo.

"Ok, y'know what, you two muffinheads? When we arrive at the next island, you two are staying on the ship," Nami decided.

"What?! Why?" Zoro and Sanji asked.

"I'd do anything to not be with stupid love cook," Zoro reasoned.

"Same here." Sanji agreed.

"Zoro, either agree or I'll fine 100,000,000 beli on you. Sanji, if you agree, I'll go on a date with you," Nami said.

"Tch. Fine, I'll do it. My pockets would've been a waste to get rid of," Zoro agreed reluctantly while placing his katanas back on their covers.

"Of course, Nami-swan~! Anything for you!" Sanji agreed gladly with heart eyes.

"Good. Now, clean up the mess here," Nami said, pointing to the clusters of fallen things.

After the mess was cleaned, Sanji walked to the kitchen to cook lunch. Zoro walked to his room and did his usual workout routine. Nami looked at Robin who suddenly giggled. Nami was quite confused.

"What's wrong?" Nami asked.

"Things are going to get really interesting from here," Robin answered.

Nami was still confused but she got the hint and smirked.

"My, my. The week would be interesting, indeed."
