"San-"
"Stay away! Don't come in here!! Stay out!"
Cries, shouting, and the scandalous echo of a shower running in the background were sounds that surrounded the bathroom, by the Monster Trio.
"What happened?"
The sight that Zoro was met with upon opening the bathroom door was traumatizing.
Blood was dripping from the toilet bowl, the rugs were messy and out of place, Sanji was sitting down inside of the bath tub with a heavy bathrobe, three times his size, wrapped around him.
"Stay out! Lock the other door too!"
The Cook desperately shouted over Luffy's convulsive crying, while pointing at the bathroom door.
"What happened!?"
The Swordsman wielded his swords out at the blonde man, scanning the area until he was convinced that no one else was hiding within the bathroom.
"I'll tell you in a minute, just get out!"
Sanji shoved the man away from the shower, pressing his hands against his back until he strayed further away.
But after hearing Luffy's voice, the man grew curious.
"Luffy?"
In the midst of trying to push Zoro, Sanji accidentally slid the shower curtain open, exposing Luffy's silhouette.
Giving it a closer look, Zoro noticed that the boy was hunched over, sobbing violently beneath the running water.
This sight of him made the Swordsman push through Sanji to get to his Captain, at any cost.
"Luffy?! What happened to you two? Are you okay?"
Staring into the shower, Zoro tried to communicate with the younger a few times, but failed miserably in the process of doing so.
He then lowered his head to find a set of boxers that were lying on the ground, mixed up in the many layers of a luxurious suit.
"Why is there... Blood in here? Isn't this shirt yours?!" He questioned, picking the suit up from the floor.
"Don't touch that! And stop asking questions, for one minute! We need to talk, but it can't be in here."
Sanji picked his clothing up from the ground and held the Swordsman's arm, taking him back to the Captain's bedroom.
There, he left the bathroom door slightly open, to keep track of any suspicious noises or potential invaders that could still be lurking around.
Zoro looked back at Sanji, demanding a response as soon as possible, with the judgemental look he was giving him.
For this reason, the Culinarian mentally prepared himself to tell the older male all that had happened, all the while feeling slightly weak.
"Zoro, I don't have much time right now, so I'll have to say this fast-"
Sanji's voice was cut off by the sound of an incoming message from two cellular devices, at the same time.
"Go on." The Swordsman said, unbothered by the sound.
But Sanji's mind refused to let him speak and explain everything in peace, without giving his phone a quick look, at the very least.
"Hey, don't."
"Wait." The blonde responded, unlocking his device.
"I'm gonna go see Luffy then, instead of wasting my time here. He needs me."
