THE SUNNY,
MIDDLE OF NOWHERE...

The Straw Hats were sailing away from the island after a horrific incident taken place at the restaurant.
There was an uncomfortable awkwardness surrounding the ship as Zoro remained standing near the Lion's Head while the others are at the deck.
Even Luffy refrained himself from going to his Special Seat just because Zoro needed some space.

The night falls short and the crew was at the dinner room, having dinner in a not so cheerful atmosphere...
Everyone except the Swordsman at the Dinner as Zoro refrained himself from going to the dinner for obvious reasons.
Some could say he is angry at them or some could say he's worried about them but only he knows...
Nami decided to bring food and sake to Zoro knowing he's too proud to come down and have dinner with them.

After the dinner, the crew went back to bed, to get some sleep while Sanji fill up the plate and gave it to Nami...

"Nami-san..!
Normally I wouldn't be worried about you bringing MossHead food but I'm not so sure he is in right mind, so just be careful..." Sanji says with a serious and worried look,

"Don't worry, Sanji-kun..!
At the end of the day, it's still our Zoro.." Nami says with an assuring smile,

Nami picked up the plate and a bottle of booze before walking out of the Dinner Room. She climb up to the Crow's nest, opening the door to see Zoro working out tirelessly, trying to get his mind off of everything that happened.
As soon as he saw Nami entering the room, he stopped working out and stand up looking at her.
Nami can't help but blush looking at Zoro's toned, shredded body covered in sweat.

"Enjoying the view..?" Zoro ask with a heavy breath yet sarcastically,

"A Little..." Nami says with a shrug walking in,

Zoro whipe off the sweat usung a towel and put on a green tank top before sitting next to Nami on the couch.
He picked up the plate and started eating the food without any complaining.

"If you're that hungry,
You could've joined us for the dinner.." Nami says with a sigh,

"I could've but you really want me to join the dinner with everyone rather sitting here with you, just us..?" Zoro ask with a cheeky smirk,

Nami can't help but smirk at Zoro's cheeky comeback as she just nudge him a little with a chuckle.

"Something on your mind..?" Zoro ask with curiosity,

"Eat your damn food, MossHead...
We'll talk later." Nami says with a smile giving him the bottle of booze,

Zoro finished his food and picked up the bottle before walking out of the room. Nami followed him as they climbed up to the watch tower and sat next to each other, drinking the booze.

"Nami..!" Zoro calls looking at the sky with a worried face,

"Hmmm.." Nami says looking at Zoro as she can tell he's worried sick from his face.

She wrapped her hands around his arm and lay her head on his shoulder, releasing a huge load relaxed sigh. Zoro just lay his head on top of her's as they sat there in silence looking at the sky.

"You think-- What i did was wrong..?" Zoro ask with a regretful tone,

"You think what you did was right..?" Nami ask with an eyebrow rise,

"I actually don't know, Nami..!" Zoro says with a digh worrying Nami a little bit,

"I get it why you all are upset and concerned, even mad at me for what i did..." Zoro says looking down,
