The rehearsal party was no doubt a party that didn't last long considering the big day that is after. The wedding day. Zoro and Sanji obviously didn't go home together. To be expected.
The next day, the wedding day is hectic. Zoro had to stay on the Sunny, where he spent the night, with the triplets to take care of them. Everyone else helped prepare for the wedding. Sanji, already dressed is keeping some of the pirates calm and welcoming some of the pirates that arrived in the morning and couldn't make it to the rehearsal, with the help of his sister. Nami and Robin are making sure the boys are all dressed after making sure the ceremony and reception is like how she had planned, how she envisioned. Zoro spent most of the morning with the triplets, he cooked and fed them breakfast even let them take a nap so they wouldn't sleep during the ceremony.
Around ten in the morning Koushiro showed up on the Sunny to see Zoro. He has seen pirate ships no doubt and seeing the straw hat's ship surprised him but after having met them thought this suits them. Koushiro look around the ship not seeing Zoro until he saw three lumps on the floor and walk closer to see three babies sleeping one he knows is Kuina.
"Oh, where's Zoro?" Koushiro looks to the railing where the voice came from to see Robin climbing aboard with Usopp behind her.
"Don't know, just got here myself." He says smiling.
"I'm going to check his room." Usopp says walking to the stairs but before he starts walking up them Zoro pops up from behind the galley with some bags.
"Perfect timing hold these Usopp." Zoro says walking up to him and handing him the bags.
"What is it?" He looks down at the bags in his hands.
"My accessories and the triplets clothes. I need to go back for mine." Zoro turns to see Robin and Koushiro standing there too. "Robin you can take the triplets. Just take the stroller out."
"Triplets?" Koushirou ask as Robin goes to get the stroller and Usopp walks towards the railing. Zoro looks at Koushiro, he thinks for a second and remembers he never told him that he gave birth to triplets.
"I gave birth to triplets. Kuina, Sora and Touma." Zoro says before walking back to his room to get his pants, shirt, vest, blazer and tie. Koushiro turns to the three babies sleeping.
"Shocked?" Robin asks as she carefully lifts one of the triplets.
"Yes."
"We were all shocked too, it was hard to believe they'll have triplets but we wouldn't have it any other way." Usopp says smiling. Koushiro helps Robin put the triplets in their seat when Zoro came out with his stuff. When all set they walked to the hotel, their venue.
Once there Nami ordered Robin to help make sure everything is in place by checking in with Sanji, who is checking in on Zeff, Brook, who is in charge of music, and make sure Luffy isn't causing a ruckus along with the other pirates. Nami and Koushiro help Zoro clean the triplets and dress them, they are extremely hyper now that they had their nap early. Koushiro left to get changed leaving Nami to help Zoro get dressed. He walks out the room all dressed in white and Nami beams, satisfied with her decision.
"Did you but everything on?" She questions him.
"Yes, just like how when you picked it out." Zoro says taking a glance at the triplets playing around. Kuina in her flower dress that matches Nami and Robins black one shoulder long sleeve dress with a slit down the right side with green embossing around the sleeve and waist. The boys have on their little suits without blazer, so all they have is a vest on. They didn't want to have the boys wear to much. Zoro then looks over at the full length mirror in the room, it was kind of missing something but he didn't know what. He put everything on.
"You didn't change your earrings." Nami points out, maybe that's why it didn't look or feel right. Zoro reaches up to his ears and breaths. He's never taken them off before even when Nami, Robin and the shop lady were picking it out and designing it. He takes the first one off and gently places it down on a table next to the mirror doing the same with the other two. With all of them gone he felt weird not having the weight on his ear. He goes into the room and looks through all the bags for the one with a medium sized box with the new earrings. Nami, watching the triplets, hears someone knock on the door. Carefully she walks to the door, anyone would have just walked in. She opens the door slowly and then opens it wider. "Sanji?" She asks honestly surprised. She steps to the side to let him in.
"I finished talking with Zeff and the others at Tortoise. I just came to see the triplets." Sanji walks in with his black suit on. The style is the same as what he wore at Toto Land for his arranged marriage. The blazer coming past his waist to reach at least his thigh. The white of his dress shirt pops out with all the black so does the gold of the cuff links and tie clip. Nami feels proud looking at him.
"You know you're not suppose to be here." Nami reminds him, he just smiles.
"Just wanted to see if Sora or Kuina wanted to get out of the room." He says walking towards the triplets while he look around and spots Zoro's earrings on the table near the mirror. "He took his earrings off?"
"Just for now, so what do you think?" Nami says pointing at the triplets. He turns his head and looks at them. He smiles.
"They all look very nice. Kuina looks adorable, well they all do." Sanji says. He bends down to their level. "Would any of you like to come with me?" He asks. They all stare at him before Touma and Kuina look back at whatever they were doing and Sora crawls to Sanji holding his arms out and doing grabby hands. "Looks like Sora is the only one." He states picking Sora up and standing up. He does one look around. "Where's Zoro?" He asks hesitantly.
"Just putting the finishing touching, now leave before you accidentally see the bride." Nami says pushing Sanji and Sora out the door. Just when she closes the door Zoro walks out and looks at the mirror inspecting the gold earrings similar to the ones he had on before but these have different color gems, small gems, and a small chain connecting them all. It is much flashier and heavy than the other ones. "I'm a genius." Nami says walking next to Zoro as he continue to look at himself in the mirror, something still felt off. Nami sees this. "Here." She puts her hand out. He look down at her hand to see one of his green haramaki. He takes it.
"Are you sure?" He asks as he takes his blazer off to put the green haramaki on.
"Yea, it wouldn't be you without that stupid thing. You can wear it during the ceremony and pictures but take it off at the reception." She says. He just nods as he puts the blazer back on. The door opens and Robin and Koushiro come in.
"Come on it's almost time." Robin says as she grabs Touma and Zoro grabs Kuina. They all head downstairs to the hall for the ceremony. Nami stops Zoro before they turn the corner so Sanji and Zoro won't see each other.
"Wait till Sanji walks in to come close." She tell Koushiro. He just nods. He watches as Nami takes Kuina from Zoro and walks to the crowd. Franky, Usopp, Luffy, Robin, Nami, Sanji, Zeff, Reiju, Chopper and the triplets all standing there talking and smiling.
"Alright it's time." Nami says. Koushiro looks at Zoro standing there.
"It's happening, are you ready?" He asks. Zoro takes a deep breath.
"Yeah." He gives his sensei a smile.
