Since I've finished Luffy, No!, I started a new story. This one is going to have much longer chapters, some of them in two parts, like this one. I hope you like this one! Instead of being about Luffy, like the other one, this one's about Zoro, and his reaction to stuff. It might not be that obvious that it's about Zoro, based on this chapter, but you'll see after this two-shot is over. Trust me. :D

Enjoy!

"…and then, after Sanji comes, I'm gonna run away dressed as a monkey!" Luffy was saying. "What do you think?"

Zoro started awake. He was supposed to be listening to Luffy's plans to raid the galley. But he had fallen asleep about halfway through. So he had no idea what Luffy's plans were, except that he was going to raid the galley tonight under cover of darkness, and then run away dressed as a monkey. He knew nothing of what was going to happen in between.

"It's…great," he said, trying to sound like he had been listening. "It'll definitely work."

Luffy grinned. "Great! Thanks, Zoro! I need to go make my preparations for later. You should too! Meet me in the weight room in an hour." He ran off.

Zoro started. He had a part in this too?

He face palmed. Maybe he should've listened instead of taking a nap. Now how was he supposed to get ready if he didn't know what he needed?

Zoro stood and walked to his room to think. Sometimes the noises of the sea were too loud.

He stepped into his room and flopped down on his bed like a fish, groaning loudly.

Luffy rummaged around in his room, looking for the things he would need for tonight. He pulled out his monkey costume and laid it on his bed. Then he went over to his 'toy box'. His toy box was where he put everything he's ever needed or would possibly need for his schemes.

He pulled out one of Usopp's scopes that he'd 'lost' and pulled it over his head. He pushed some other stuff aside, including an invisibility cloak, which he'd gotten from an anonymous source, and reached into the bottom of the box, where he had hidden a brand-new BB gun that looked just like the real thing. He found the holster and clipped it to his belt. He wanted to make Sanji think that the culprit was armed and dangerous.

Luffy looked at himself in the mirror. With the scope pulled down over his eye, he pulled the gun out and held it out at his mirrored image. He had to say, he looked pretty threatening. He needed to create as much unrest on the ship as possible without making himself the prime suspect. He grinned evilly at his reflection. This was going to be fun.

Luffy met Zoro in his weight room an hour later, just like they'd arranged. The second Luffy saw Zoro, he burst out laughing.

"You were asleep while I was explaining the plan, weren't you?"

Zoro nodded a little sheepishly.

"I figured, based on what you're wearing."

Zoro wasn't sure what he would need, so he just brought/wore everything. He had a bulletproof vest on, and a one shot pistol at his belt, opposite his swords. He (for some reason) had one of Sanji's pots on his head and a string of garlic around his neck. Luffy held his nose. He figured that was from Usopp. And it's not like that was all, either. He had a pair of combat boots on, the kind with steel heels, which, Luffy thought, was not good for being quiet. He was also wearing a black cloak. If it wasn't for the garlic and the pot, he would've looked pretty threatening.

Luffy eyed Zoro up and down. "Take off the pot, the garlic and the boots and you'll be good for tonight."

Zoro obeyed and put his regular shoes back on.

"Now. Since you went to Usopp for the garlic and the pot, it means that you told him I was going to raid the galley. Right?"

Zoro nodded.

Luffy frowned. "Not good…" he muttered.

"What?" Zoro asked.

"Nothing…"

Luffy thought for a minute. Now how was he going to let Usopp know that he wasn't going to raid the galley? If he carried out his plan tonight, then Usopp would definitely suspect him. He rubbed his temples, stressed. After a minute, he thought of something.

"Take the garlic and the pot back to Usopp and tell him that I've changed my mind," Luffy said. "And also say I feel funny, kinda like I'm having a premonition of something bad that's going to happen tonight. That's why I'm not doing it."

Zoro nodded. Sometimes, he reflected, Luffy could be really smart. He walked out of the room.

Luffy sighed. With Zoro gone, he could straighten out some frayed ends in his plan.

Absentmindedly, he pulled out his gun and shot at one of the dummies Zoro had hanging everywhere for his training. Surprisingly, he hit it right where its heart would be if it was alive.

He decided that when he called for Sanji, he would use Nami's voice. That way he would definitely come, and it would also seem like the person had made noise, so it woke Nami up. Normally, Luffy didn't make any noise, and that's how he got away with it. So that would prove that he hadn't done it, and he would be off the hook. At least partially.

Zoro stepped back into the room. "He believes you," he said, unnecessarily. Luffy had already known that Usopp would believe him.

"Well, obviously. I mean, it's Usopp. He believes everything."

Zoro nodded, conceding. "That's true." He sat down on one of his weight sets. "What now?"

"Well, considering we met after dinner, we can just wait until everyone goes to bed, and make it seem like we went to bed already."

"Okay," Zoro said. "So what exactly is my part in this?"

"Just to make sure no one is around while I do it," Luffy said.

"Oh…" Zoro was a little disappointed. "That's all?"

"Yep!" Luffy said brightly. He flashed Zoro one of his trademark grins.

"So…we wait." Zoro settled back on his weight set.

"We wait."

A few hours later, after Zoro got back from his umpteenth scouting mission, he reported that no one was awake. He was also really glad that he had worn the black cloak. He had almost been seen a few times, and definitely would have been if he wouldn't have had the cloak to cloak him.

Luffy stood up. "Alright," he began putting on his monkey costume, leaving the headpiece off. The purpose of the suit was to disguise his features, not to actually make him look like a monkey, like Zoro had first thought.

Zoro watched, enthralled, as Luffy's boyish dimensions turned into someone more stocky and strong. He attached his gun to the belt he wore over the suit, and pulled the scope over his head. Then he put on a baseball cap he had grabbed earlier, to hide his hair. Then he began walking across the weight room towards the door.

"Alright. Time for me to go. Cover me, and make sure you don't get seen when Sanji comes." Luffy paused at the doorway and smiled. "Wish me luck."

"Good luck, Luffy," Zoro said. "Don't get caught."

"I won't." Then, with a flourish, he disappeared into the darkness.

Luffy sneaked through the hallways with ease. He knew where every weak spot in the wood was, and avoided every creaky stair. He reached the galley with no trouble.

Taking his gun out of its holster, he stepped into the kitchen.
