"Disappeared? How?"

"I don't know it just says that the captain died making Luka the new one. He got his bounty and when a group of marines followed him through the grand line one day he had a lot of crew members and a day later when they confronted him he was by himself. Like his crew vanished or something."

"How is that possible?"

"I don't know but he is obviously dangerous. At least now we know more which can help our search in finding Zoro. We'll go in groups."

"But someone needs to stay with the triplets."

"Oh right, we obviously can't leave Luffy, Usopp is questionable, Brook is a possibility, Franky will be too busy building something to watch them. I guess our option is Sanji, Robin, Brook, Chopper and me." They all looks at each other.

"I think I'll stay. If you guys do find Zoro he'll be injured so Chopper should be with you and Sanji should be out in case a fight starts and Luffy is busy or not there with him. Nami should be out coordinating the search, plus if we are too late only Nami will know which way to go." Robin explains. Sanji turns around shocked, for sure they were going to tell him to stay with the triplets, if they told him he wouldn't say no but he really would want to go out searching for Zoro. Sanji puts the towel he was using to clean the kitchen away.

"You do make a good point," Nami says. "Then that settles it. Franky and Chopper will be a group. Sanji and Usopp will be another, Luffy and I will be the last group. Then will we have Robin on babysitter duty while Brook is on ship duty." Everyone there nods their head in agreement. 

"Are you done?" Chopper says looking at Sanji putting away some dishes that finished drying.

"Yeah." Sanji walks around the counter. 

"We'll get Luffy to bed you worry about them." Robin says as she uses her cien flores to move Luffy off the table and down to the floor, out the door down to the first floor and into his room on his bed. The girls walking behind him and into their room. Sanji unbuckles the triplets in the high chair.

"Let me help you." Chopper says as he carries one of the triplets. Sanji held the other two, all three of them seemed wide awake, their eyes still a little red from crying. As they walked out Chopper turns off the light in the kitchen. The walk to the room is silent. What do they talk about? What did they talk about before? Chopper slowly opens the door and they are all smacked with Zoro's scent that seemed to be everywhere in the room. Sanji was gone for at least a month. The triplets start yawning, crying and making tantrums seem to have tired them out. After turning on the lights Sanji and Chopper put the babies in their cribs, Chopper walks to the door, before he closes the door, "if you need help just come and ask me." Chopper smiles, Sanji just nods in return, then the doctor closes the door behind him walking back to the infirmary which is also his room. 

Getting a closer look at the room Sanji notices how clean it actually is, no dirt or anything is out of place. He then looks at the bed and sees that on his side there are pillows that barricade the edges. Sanji goes into the closet which is also clean and tidy. None of his clothes seem to be moved and is still in the same place. It's like time has stopped but he knew it hasn't. Sanji looked around for a pair of his pajamas until he found his. He picked a navy blue one that came as a set. It was three months at least since the triplets were born and Sanji and Zoro were both so busy with the triplets that they didn't have time to shop for themselves, Sanji only had time to go shopping for supplies for the kitchen and food while Zoro only went shopping for things for the triplets and then Zoro wasn't really acting like himself. He didn't feel right. At this point Zoro has started training again but he still felt fat and didn't like any of his clothes which shocked everyone considering Zoro never cared about what he wore before. He was feeling insecure which was not Zoro. It was like he was pregnant again he didn't want anyone touching him, not even Sanji. He seem to not like his body. As a way to make him feel better the girls went shopping for him and found a couple set of pajamas and some other clothes. It helped a little but not much. What made him feel better though was some sex with Sanji, knowing Sanji got hard from him really made him happy and loved. All the insecurities he had seem to vanish as Sanji held him in his arms. The next day it was like he never felt insecure at all, it wasn't like this was the only time, it happened two more times and each time it was being held by Sanji that helped him feel better.

He brings his pajamas close to him and smells, it smelled like Zoro, sweet but musky. It became Sanji favorite smell. Everything smelled like him in the closet. Now changed into his pajamas, the cook walks out the closet closing the door behind him. He moves the pillows off his side and onto Zoro's. Sanji goes to turn the light off, then goes into the covers getting comfortable. One month now felt like a million years ago that he and Zoro slept in the same bed cuddling together. Sanji lay there in a peaceful room. All he could hear is the sound of the babies breathing and moving around in the crib. He didn't know how big the bed was. Is this how Zoro felt when  he disappeared for that month? Sanji turn to the side of the bed and reached his arm out. Like the bed went on for miles with no edge in sight. Thinking about the nights he slept with Zoro he noticed that Zoro actually began to be really comfortable with him and that Zoro has gotten into a habit of getting closer to Sanji. When Zoro gets in bed he lay on his back or something but when he was in his deep sleep he would search for Sanji's body and hold on to his like a body pillow or something. He couldn't wait to go searching for Zoro, hopefully he wasn't hurt to bad.
