"You cheated again, you damn grass head!!"
"It's "moss head"- WAIT, forget about that!" Zoro clenched his jaw with frustration when the younger boy launched himself onto him like a grenade.
"YOU KNOW I CAN'T SWIM. I'LL LOSE THIS ROUND BY DEFAULT!" Not even five seconds into their new challenge, and the living room was becoming slowly a swimming pool when the stubborn friends spilled buckets of water everywhere.
"You don't need to swim, stupid ass! All you need to do is carry these to the damn pool. Whoever makes it there first, wins." The Swordsman explained for what appeared to be the fourth time.
"I still don't see how THIS is a challenge, Zoro."
"You don't consider it a 'challenge'? Or are you just afraid of losing and getting stuck in a maid outfit for the rest of the day." His first mate implied, elbowing the hot headed Captain.
"GIMMIE THE DAMN BUCKET AGAIN, IT NEEDS MORE WATER."
Having Usopp to keep track of the rounds they play and the score, he watched carefully as the boys continued their messy challenge.
The objective of their game was to see who could fill up a set of two mini pools the fastest.
Once one of the pools is seen on the verge of overflowing, then the round stops and the judge gets to determine who the winner is.
"Come on! Come on!" Luffy dashed behind Zoro who encountered an obstacle on his way to the kitchen: Sanji.
"MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, SWIRLY BROWS." He shouted, watching as the blonde man complained at both him and his Captain over the disaster they were turning his kitchen into.
"SHITTY MARIMO! You two better clean this up afterwards, or someone's gonna break their ass in half on these tiles!"
"An ass is already split in the middle, dimwit. Haven't you ever seen one before?" The naughty Swordsman replied with a sarcastic tone of voice.
"Of course I have, I'm looking at one right now." Out of anger, the older man dunked his empty bucket over Sanji's head, leaving him to spin around in circles.
He then proceeded to take another to go fill it up as he originally had planned on doing, when he was met with another obstacle in his way: Luffy.
His own rival had been taking his time in the kitchen at an attempt to fill up his bucket the most that he could, and as consequence, Zoro couldn't fill his own.
"I don't have time to waste, there's no other way around this than... To use the tub." Storming throughout the hall, the man developed the sufficient amount of courage he needed in order to enter the bathroom.
"Here goes nothing." A loud bang echoed from the bathroom as it was invaded by a shameless Swordsman with a demonic look in his eyes that left the ambient to feel ominous and unsafe.
Water was splattered around everywhere while he dunked his bucket into the tub that was full to the brim, much to his convenience.
He then rushed back out and bumped shoulder-to-shoulder with Luffy who was walking around with a large, round stomach.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU!?"
"We don't know! All we heard was "BALLOON!" coming from the kitchen, then he started walking towards us like THIS." Usopp and Nami shouted, gathering their calculator and pens to see who would fill up the pool first.
"BWEEE-" Zoro tumbled back, being knocked over by Luffy who purposely rolled over to slow him down in order to get to the pool first.
As revenge, he pushed the boy who had let his guard down and ended up becoming a bowling ball for the older man while he tumbled into the living room.
"SPOOOOOOOOOOOSH!" A gush of water burst out of Luffy's mouth as he slowly deflated upon getting kicked by his first mate.
Instantly, his pool had filled up until not one drop could touch it without the crystal clear liquid splashing onto the floor.
"These run small, so make sure to breathe in when squeezing your thighs into it." Luffy winked, tossing the costume over Zoro's head.
And there it remained, unable to even make it past the man's broad, manly shoulders.
"I CAN'T SEE SHIT WITH THIS OVER MY HEAD-" Zoro's body accidentally collided against both pools, causing a mini tsunami in the middle of the living room.
"HAHAHAHA, I WIN, YOU LOSE. NOW YOU GOT A BIG BRUISE." His merciless Captain shouted, jumping up and down.
But oddly enough, he seemed to be the only one celebrating, of all the people that were gathered in the living room with him and Zoro.
"Zoro!! I won't let you get away with what you did to me and my bath!!" An angry voice shouted at the man from behind him.
"Chopper!?" Everyone focused their attention on a young deer with soap suds all over his body while he walked outside, wearing a towel over his waist and one over his head.
"I'll get you back for ruining my bath!!" He raged, whacking Zoro with a back scrubber.
"I think I already have my work cut out for me, Chopper..." Lowering his head, the older man held the maid outfit in his hands, sighing.
"PUT IT ON! PUT IT ON! PUT IT ON! WOO!!" Luffy chanted, causing a commotion.
"Luffy, stop being rude to Zoro." Nami chuckled, pushing on Usopp's arm as he held a sheet of paper in his hands.
"Yeah? Why should I?"
"Because that's no way to treat a winner." Luffy's smile faded away when seeing the numbers on either side of the papers.
Luffy | 2
Zoro | 3
The first thing Zoro's eyes witnessed after uncovering them completely, were the numbers of the opponent that had won.
"I... LOST!?!" Luffy waved his hands in the air out of anger. To occupy them, Zoro placed a lightweight outfit in his grip.
"As a bonus, the loser has to please the winner in any request they have." Nami added to make things even more difficult for Luffy to handle.
"You heard her, Captain. Any request the winner has. Go on, get dressed."
"Maid for a day, huh? I doubt I'll even fit into this... But a bet is a bet!"
