Zoro walks down the path pushing the stroller. He is looking for a shop to buy something for the triplets but somehow ended up in the park, a very big park and can't seem to get out of it. He looks around trying to find a way out before he spots a nice clearing on the grass. The triplets seem to really like riding in the stroller while Zoro pushes them, they didn't cry once but he wanted to take a break and sit down for a second. He strolls over to the spot and sets the stroller still. He takes the triplets out one by one on the grass next to him. They start laughing as they sit on the grass. They roll and crawl around on the grass. They seem to think they are on the Sunny because they seem to be comfortable and crawl far. Zoro began to have trouble keeping them still, they wanted to play but Zoro couldn't play with all of them.
"Zoro!" He turns to the person yelling his name. He waves at their captain who ran towards them.
"Hey Luffy, what have you been up to?" Luffy sits down next to Zoro. The triplets get excited.
"Just exploring the town, then I saw you and the triplets and came to play." The triplets start to play with Luffy. They enjoy stretching his fingers and watching them go back to their original form. "Are you and Sanji still fighting?" Luffy asks hesitantly.
"Um..." Zoro looks to the side. He didn't know. He did fight with Sanji but he doesn't think they still are. He hasn't talked to Sanji since last night. He knows that he and Sanji are most likely over from what he saw. He thought giving Sanji space would help but that doesn't seem to be helpful. He knows that whatever they had is over. "I guess we're not." Luffy stares at Zoro who looks sad. Kuina starts to get fussy and Luffy starts freak out trying to find out what is upsetting her. Zoro grabs her and starts to check her to see what's wrong. Nothing is wrong, Zoro starts to comfort her to calm her down.
"Hey, Zoro, Luffy!" Zoro and Luffy look up at who is calling them. They are both shocked to see who it is.
"Luka?" They both stand up as he walks to them. The one person they did not expect to see. Sora and Touma crawled to the feet of Zoro while Kuina whimpers in the arms of Zoro, holdings his hand.
"It's been a while. How've you been?"
"It's been good, we've been to so many islands since we last saw you." Luffy says with smile.
"Um...I was asking Zoro." Luka says, Zoro chuckles.
"It's been exhausting but good." Zoro says looking down at Kuina who has his finger in her mouth. That's when Zoro got it, he figured out why they were getting to fussy.
"What have you been up to lately?" Luka gets close to Zoro who takes a step back.
"Training and taking care of the babies." Luka continues asking Zoro questions while Luffy looks at both them and observes the situation. Each second Luka gets closer and closer. Zoro answers his questions quick and short as he gets away from Luka. Zoro starts putting the triplets back in the stroller.
"Are you going somewhere?" Luka asks desperately.
"Yes, I need to buy something for the babies."
"Oh ok." Luka's smile disappears as Zoro walks away pushing the stroller and dragging Luffy with him. Zoro and Luffy wonder the town looking for a baby shop.
"Zoro, are you happy?" Zoro stops and looks at the captain.
"Yes, why would you think otherwise?"
"You seem sad, but when you were talking to Luka you were smiling. Are you going to leaving Sanji?"
"I'm not leaving anyone, you are the triplets family, why would I leave?" Luffy smiles.
"Good," they continue to walk. Luffy keeps Zoro company the whole time and thanks to him Zoro didn't think about Sanji at all only Luffy and the babies. The sun began to set so they decided to go back to the Sunny and as they got back to the Sunny Usopp ran towards them.
"Where are you going?" Zoro asks.
"Just to buy some last minute parts."
"I'll go with you." Luffy runs next to him.
"Don't cause any trouble!" Zoro yells as he continues to walk.
"I won't!" Luffy yells back as he continues to runs.
Zoro puts the stroller away and sets the triplets on the grass to play. He plays with them on the grass. He smiles with their laughter. It didn't matter if Sanji didn't want to be with him and the triplets cause he'll be with them.
He feels a murderous aura on his back, quickly he gathers the triplets and turns. At first he doesn't see anyone but he does sense someone. He turns to the triplets, they are distracting each other. He stands up and looks around the ship.
"Zoro," Zoro immediately turns to the voice.
"Luka?" Zoro loosens up a little. Luka walks towards him and Zoro moves the triplets back a little. He felt something off about Luka but didn't know what. "What are you doing here?" No one told him where they were docked or what the Sunny looks like. Zoro looks around. The den den mushi is in his room and his katanas are in the crows nest.
"I saw you and came to talk." Luka smiles a very creepy smile.
"Talk about what?"
"Just talk about how sad you really are being here."
"Sad? About what?" Zoro says.
"Look at you acting strong, but I know, you and Sanji have been having some...trouble lately." Zoro flinches at the comment. How could he have known, well he could have seen Sanji this morning.
"I don't know what you mean." Zoro lies standing strong.
"Oh but you do, why not forget this crew and come with me?" Luka holds his hand out, Zoro looks down at his hand and looks back up.
"No, I can't, right now I have to take care of the triplets."
"The crew can take care of them, so?" He reaches forward taking Zoro's hand and pulls him closer. Zoro looks back at the triplets. He shifted Luka's hand off of him and turns completely towards the triplet.
"I already to you I can't and it doesn't matter if Sanji is with me, I will raise the babies myself if I have to." He smiles at the triplets and the triplets smile and laugh back at him. He hears Luka stepping around in the grass. He sighs in relief thinking Luka has left him alone and gone off the ship, he couldn't feel Luka around anymore. Zoro looks down at his stomach feeling a sharp pain. He turns his head over his shoulder as the babies start to whimper. Luka's face has change completely, he seems extremely angry.
