"So, they found out about the connection?"

A Swordsman asked his blonde haired friend as he caught a bottle of booze in his hand when the man tossed it at him.

"Seems that way. Nami-San thinks that it's because of how deserted this area is, which is a good thing."

The Cook replied, telling Zoro to move over so that he could sit beside him in the crow's nest.

Scooting aside, Zoro made room for Sanji to climb inside.

"Let's hope no one finds out that I disconnected the WiFi on purpose, or our plans will be soiled."

The Swordsman said, looking down from the tall place they were staying in.

"This is so stressful.." Sanji pushed his head back, sighing.

"You're tellin' me. I'm bushed. You have no idea how many newspapers I've had to toss into the ocean, ever since you and Luffy came back- No wait, even before then."

The Swordsman spoke, once again.

They looked up at the sky, then focused their attention on the weather and how humid it felt, outside.

After a while of not looking at each other, Zoro turned his head to glance at the Cook with the intention of continuing their previous conversation, but instead, he stopped after something grabbed ahold of his attention.

It wasn't too obvious from far away, but sitting closely to him made Zoro realize that there was something different about Sanji.

"Hey..." He quietly reached for the back of his neck.

Sanji flinched at the Swordsman's action and moved away from him, placing his hand behind his neck to cover it.

"What are you doing?"

He nervously asked the Swordsman, taking a moment to relax after assessing his surroundings, remembering that he was safe.

"Nothing. By the way, I brought this for you."

Shaking his head at the confused Cook, Zoro handed him a soft blanket, changing the topic.

"Oh, thanks. I was starting to feel cold, actually."

"I can tell."

Zoro responded, holding onto the liquor bottle Sanji gave him, up to his lips to take a sip.

"Franky stayed with Luffy." The Cook informed.

"Yeah? That's good. Least no one will go inside if he's standing out there."

Zoro spoke, gathering a sense of peace in his mind, knowing that his Captain was in good hands.

"Out? No no no, he's staying in the room with him."

Sanji replied, correcting the himself.

"What? Hey.. Isn't that risky? What if he scares Luffy when he wakes up?"

Zoro questioned in disagreement with Sanji's decision.

"He'll be alright. We can trust Franky, right?"

The Cook raised an eyebrow at Zoro, earning a nod from him.

"Yeah, we can. But that's not exactly the issue here..."

The muscular man paused to reposition himself in the crow's nest, placing his hands on his knees while sitting in a different position.

"My main concern is Luffy. What if he wakes up?"

"If he wakes up, Franky's gonna be there for him."

The Cook reassured him.

"Who's gonna take him to the bathroom? Franky?"
