A cut deep through rubber. Luffy x Zoro angst.

Youre an asshole Luffy!!!(PT 2)

The crew kept nagging and nagging and nagging Luffy, till he finally snapped.

"IF YOU REALLY WANNA KNOW THAT BAD, I'LL TELL YOU!!!"  Luffy's sudden yelling shut the entire crew up. The only time Luffy was every really angry was when one of his friends was hurt, and they were all ok as of now.
"There was this STUPID ASS GUY, FLIRTING WITH ZORO! AND HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO GET HIM TO LEAVE!! AND THEN, HE SAID IT WASN'T IMPORTANT TO PUT THAT GUY IN HIS PLACE! NOT TO MENTION MY WRISTS HURT LIKE HELL SO YEAH, IM PISSED!"

"That's what you're upset about?!?!? That I didn't
kill some weakling because they were stupid enough to hit on me?!?!? That I wouldn't let YOU kill them?!?!? You can't just go around killing anyone who makes you mad, Luffy!!" Zoro stood up and slammed his hands down on the table, and was yelling to now. It was clear he was trying not to cry, but a few tears still slipped down his checks. This was not the Luffy he knew and loved.

"It's not that he hit on you! It that you didn't do anything about it! You just let him!! You were clearly uncomfortable, yet you didn't say shit to get him to leave!! I had to!"

"SO YOU THOUGHT I WOULD CHEAT ON YOU?!?!? IS THAT IT?! YOU GOT SO PISSED THAT YOU DIDN'T EAT, JUST BECAUSE I....." Zoro's yelling was cut short when he saw Luffy's eyes. They were filled with pain, anger, and just a hint of betrayal. But they were also cold. So cold it gave Zoro chills.

"Listen Luffy, I know you just meant the best for us, but you can't-" Zoro was again cut off. "Leave." Zoro looked very stunned, at both Luffy's words and his dead, numb eyes. "What?" Zoro's fight against the tears ended, and they freely streamed down his face. The rest of the crew were to shocked to do anything but stare. "You heard me. Leave. I don't want to see you until you realize what you did, and the effects it had on those around you. But at least get your arm checked out. I hit you pretty hard." Luffy, for once, was completely serious, and honestly, downright terrifying when he was mad like this. "B-but....why?" Zoro voice was breaking, and the tears had gotten much worse. "THAT WAS AN ORDER FROM YOUR CAPTAIN, SWORDSMAN." Luffy's hat shaded his eyes again, and if he noticed how Zoro flinched when he yelled the order, he didn't show it.

"Y-Yes, C-Captain." It was the last thing that was said before Zoro flew out of the room, tears streaming down his checks, off to his room.

A good solid 5 minutes passed in silence, the crew slowly recovering from shock, and Luffy..... well, he wasn't doing to great. You couldn't tell by looking at him, but he was trying his absolute best to not cry. The anger that had pushed him to the edge and fogged his mind was finally clearing, and was replaced by sadness.

"Chopper. Go check on Zoro. I hit his arm pretty hard earlier, and I don't know if he's ok or not." Chopper, was, honest to god terrified. Luffy was scary. So all he said was a quick, "Yes Luffy." And hurried after Zoro.

"Dude! What the fuck?!? How could you say that?!?" Nami was screaming again the second Chopper was out of earshot. "Yeah Luffy! What the hell?!? That was so mean!" Ussop had joined in the yelling.

"The poor Marimo. That was uncalled for Luffy. He truly loves you, and you go and do that? Dick move captain, dick move." Sanji actually sounded sorry for Zoro, and that was kinda surprising to the rest of the crew. (Except for Luffy, who had gone numb.)

"That was NOT super. I agree with the cook. That was uncalled for. And, Luffy, your acting like a really fucking bad boyfriend. I hope YOU realize what effect your actions had on him. I'm leaving."

"Yeah! You're an asshole Luffy! Wait for us Franky!" Nami was pissed that just happened, and walked behind Franky toward the door out, each crew member following behind, and each making it a point to tell Luffy that he was an asshole for the way he just treated Zoro. Robin didn't say anything except "They're right, Luffy." Before she to followed suit.

His crew's actions towards Luffy was what finally made him loose his grip on the emotions and tears. He looked down at his plate, at the table beneath it.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Nami, Robin, Ussop, Brook, Franky, and Sanji pretty much jumped from there skins at the sound. Turning around fast, assuming an attack, they were all to shocked to speak when they saw what the sound was.

It was Luffy. He was banging his head on the-thanks to Sanji's amazing kitchen cleaning and care- still sharp edge of the table. Over and over and over again. He didn't stop when his skin broke and he started bleeding, he kept pounding his head against the edge, tears streaming down his face like two rivers, shaking slightly from lingering impacts and quiet sobs.

The crew looked on in horror at their captain. But, they understood. They understood that he was crying from the events of the day, and not the pain of the repeated blows. That he was in pain, to much pain for him to handle, and in that moment they realized that Zoro was the only thing keeping him sane, keeping the pain at bay. And he had lost that.

Luffy just kept repeating the motion of banging his head. They crew knew that they had to stop him, but none of them could move. They were frozen in place. He kept going until a sickening 'CRACK!' resounded of the walls. The crew, still horrified at what they were witnessing all visibly cringed at the sound. Nami and Ussop had both started crying- Nami was hugging Robin as tight as she could, and Ussop was burying his face into Sanji's shoulder, and both Sanji and Robin were hugging their respective sobbing crew mates.

Luffy got up, and with out a word left the room, going to sit on the Sunny's lion head.
