"Well this isn't awkward at all"Nicole said, Zoro muttered something his face in her cleavage as the two of them were stuck inside a chimney "Hey can you breath down there?"Nicole asked looking at the mop of green hair that was Zoro's head, he managed to move his head to look back at her "Yeah, now i can but this is killing my neck"he said.

"Well not much we can do about that"Nicole said "Are you okay?"she asked "Huh? Oh those holes were nothing"Zoro said "That's good"Nicole sighed a bit in relief "How about you?"Zoro asked "I'm alright"Nicole smiled at him "So what did you wanna tell me earlier?"she asked.

Zoro blushed looking away from her "After that"he coughed a bit clearing his throat "I got this image of a little kid with green hair and yellow eyes"he said, Nicole smiled managing to bend down a bit and kiss his head "Boy or girl?"she asked "A girl"he said, she giggled a bit "Funny i had the same image but it was a little boy"she said.

Zoro blushed even further "Not that i'm saying either of us are ready for something like that, the pirate life wouldn't be the best environment just look at how i turned out"Nicole said, Zoro chuckled a bit "You're not that bad"he said, Nicole blushed a bit and cleared her throat a bit "Anyway, maybe someday"she said "Yeah, someday"Zoro agreed.

"So now what?"Nicole asked "We get out of here, i can barely reach my swords"Zoro said wiggling his fingers "Alright you do that and i'll uhm ah cheer you on yeah"Nicole nodded to herself "How very helpful"Zoro said sarcasm clear in his tone of voice, Nicole just rolled her eyes, she could probably squeeze past Zoro but she had no idea where this chimney lead to and she wasn't too keen on finding out.

"Hm"Nicole hummed perking up like she heard something "What's up?"Zoro asked "There's a lot of noise going on"Nicole said and closed her eyes focusing "It's Chopper and the shipwrights, they're looking for us"she said "Are those shipwrights still after us?"Zoro grumbled a bit "No it seems like they know at least some of the situation"Nicole said "Alright, now to just get out of here"Zoro said still trying to reach his swords.

"Zoro hey! You okay?!"they heard someone calling "Chopper!"Nicole called back "Nicole?! You're in there too?!"Chopper asked "Yeah!"Nicole said "Chopper do you have the Kitetsu?"Zoro asked "Your sword yeah i have one of them how on earth did you know that?"Chopper asked "Kitetsu bit of a special case since it's cursed, here put it in my hand"Zoro said waving his free hand.

Nicole managed to grab onto him as Zoro grabbed Kitetsu "Okay Chopper stand back"he said and sliced the chimney in half freeing himself and Nicole "HOLY SHIT!!!"Nicole screamed spotting the giant wave rolling towards them Chopper grabbed them both jumping to safer ground using his jumping point.

They made it to the bridge, Nicole stretched herself out "The next time i'm gonna be crammed into a tight space like that will hopefully be my coffin"she said, Chopper and Nami just laughed relieved they were safe however another wave rolled towards them and before any of them could act.

At the same time they were thrown ropes which they caught and Pauley pulled them out of the wave "Hurry, we're not safe yet run to shipbuilding island!"Pauley said Luffy grabbed Nami as Zoro grabbed Chopper while Nicole was quick enough to get back on her feet and ran away from the wave with them, they escaped just in time.

Nicole sighed laying down "Way too close for comfort"she muttered before getting up and pulling Chopper off of Zoro, the reindeer had a death grip on the poor swordsman's face nearly suffocating him before Nicole pulled Chopper away "You morons you're lucky to be alive"Pauley said "Thanks you saved us rope guy"Luffy said.
