Ace had the worst day of his life. He never felt this miserable it even took his massive appetite away. Even though his little brother invited him for a lunch, Ace refused to eat and buried his head around his arms and imitated the noise of crying. This childish act was only to attract Zoro, his ex-lover. But the green haired guy simply ignored him and once he got completely irritated, he left the dining room with Lee by his side. Lee carried two huge bowls fill with food with her and grabbed the doorknob close. The other crew of Mugiwara stared at the entrance until their footsteps were no longer heard. They shifted their eyes back to Ace and Nami sighed.

"You shouldn't mess with him in a first place. Look what happened now!" She gave her common lecture of love to bother Ace more. Nami loved to see how he smexed Zoro boldly in front of anyone, I mean, they both hot and nothing suits better. But now they're not together and Lee as the replacement sounded boring enough. Everyone except Luffy, Brook and Chopper (group of kiddos) gave a thought of Lee was too immature. Sanji was baffled most of why Zoro choose that kid instead of him when he dumped Ace. What's wrong with him?

The blonde sighed in defeat and continues to cook. He might have a chance to win over Zoro if he remains calm and gentle... 'Just patience' he soothed himself down as he served his crew with another delightful meal.

Lee gobbled down her foods and licked the leftovers on the bowls. "Sanji sure cooked like heaven!" she burped and stroked her tummy. Zoro watched her in amusement and patted her head. She leaned over the touch and yawned. Seconds after, she fell asleep on Zoro's laps.

Zoro took the chance to observe closely on her face figure and found nothing scary, including her physical. She's skinny and a head shorter than him. She looked like an average teen. But why she had a bounty over 100,000,000 belli? She carries nothing for protection-no weapon, no shield. Whenever anyone asked her how she got the marines attention she answered nothing convincing enough. Everything she did is an enigma.

"Hey, Zoro." A familiar voice came and shattered his philosophy. There was no other guy who had a blond hair in this ship and smokes like hell. "The refrigerator is empty, come with me."

"You think carrying those heavy luggage of yours interest me?"

"Booze sure engrossed you. I won't buy them if you ain't coming." The cook gave a sly smile.

Zoro rubbed his neck and groaned 'fine'. He stood up and carried Lee carefully onto his bed. Lee was sound asleep she didn't even notice Zoro kissed her forehead before he left with the envious cook whom made a face along their way to the food store. Zoro noticed it but he didn't care. Somehow he felt pity at Lee and she's just lovable. It reminds him of how worst these two lover-boys forced their way into him-Sanji and Ace, they gave no difference in his perspective. Luckily, Lee saved him by being his love companion although she knew nothing more than eating and sleeping together with him. Zoro felt safer with her and without any perverted fingers that'll run over his body whenever they sight an opening.

Sanji raped him, Ace was like constantly perverted. Being with Lee in almost 3 days freed him completely. Zoro sighed by his thoughts while continuing their trip from food store to another.

Later on, Zoro grew tired from the cook's picky attitude. It was very hard for the merchants to gratify him with their products. It's been hours and he still hadn't enough. Zoro taps his foot onto the floor and waited. He waited and waited.

"I think we have enough," finally "You okay with all that?"

It took about a minute for Zoro to actually understand Sanji's question "Hah? This?" he hoisted the baggage a little "Not really… You're fucking slow-ass! Why don't you try buying things without using your fussy little mouth? I've been waiting like hell!"

Instead of being angry with Zoro's foul mouth, Sanji carved a sweet smile on his face "Tired? Lemme carry those," as he bends forward and snatched all the bags from Zoro. Sanji action was fast it didn't left Zoro to hesitate. Zoro blinked few more times before he frowns again.

"Why you're being nice all of sudden?" he dazed at Sanji.

"What?" the cook steps closer to Zoro "Can't I?"

"… No. Not that..." as he pushed Sanji to back off a little as he got WAY too close to him "Just stop,"

"Stop what?" Sanji acted stupid it annoyed the green haired teen.

"Stop whatever you're thinking in your head. I can sense that."

Sanji smirked "Alright," and moved away to a distance where Zoro can be comfortable at. He caught a sight of a bar and evil scheme strikes his head immediately. If only Zoro could actually read the cook's mind, Sanji would be so damned.

The blonde dropped their things and pointed straight to the bar "You want some drink?"

Zoro ogled the bar closely and knew how expensive it is just by its outlook and smell. It was so tempting but still "I don't have any money…" Zoro confessed in a fairly sad tone.

"It's okay!" Sanji dragged Zoro into the bar "It'll be my treat today."

Ace wondered after minutes of searching the sword-man inside Thousand Sunny. This ship was huge and quite complicated thanks to Franky hard work. Though Zoro could be hiding anywhere possible or just lost, Ace doubt that. And to top it all, that cook was missing too. He asked everyone in this ship except…

Lee. Ace poked and covered her nose for quite some time but she didn't budge from her sleep at all. He tried the gentle way so there was no reason left to not do the rough method.

"Lee! You hear me?!" Ace shook Lee vigorously to wake her up. He even slapped Lee's face couple of times before she finally had the strength to open her eyes. Lee stretched and weakly replied to Ace with a simple sound of 'hnn'. Ace was unpleased by Lee's idle response he decided to spurts out the same kind of question with a higher voice.

"WHERE IS ZORO AND THAT ERO-COOK?!"

Half awake and half asleep, it wasn't enough for Lee to answer it correctly "I dunno…" she massaged her burning cheeks without knowing it is swelling very much. "I was asleep before they left……… EHHH???!!!"

"Hah?" Ace scratched his head in bewilderment "What do you mean by 'eh'?"

Lee completely got up from her slumber and started running all over the place "Where's Choro?!"

"I sorta asked you before… Now you're asking me back?!"

"Seriously?!"

"Yeah, that just made it worst. How come you didn't know his whereabouts? Weren't you guys supposed to be happy couple of the year?" Ace gave her a sharp look of jealousy but Lee just too slow to get it.

"Yup, we are! But I slept and lost him," Ace smacked his forehead and heaved a sigh. Talking to her is pointless. Lee continued with her naive face that Ace won't give a damn. "We should find Choro!" she suggested and tidy herself chic in her way.

"Heh! Why should I go with you when I can find him myself?"

"Because I'll get lost and Choro will be mega mad at you for letting me out of your sight?" Lee said regardless of not getting her own words.

"Damn it girl!" Ace stomped his foot onto the hardened floor "Where did you learned that?!"

"Choro."

'I'm totally gonna make you cry for what you did to me Zoro' Ace hissed and slowly lowered his arm for Lee to grab on like a child. Lee clasped her hands together in joy and firmly grasped Ace warm arm. In search of Zoro, Ace was forced to be daddy for once as he carries a brat who keeps on pouring his belli's dead in the town where everyone is watching him with different kind of manners.

Lee munched her cotton-candy with a big smile on her face-still having Ace arm with her fingers. She looked up to Ace and realized that he's mad. Lee tugged his arms lightly to gain some of his attention "Nee… Ace…" He ignores it "Would you gimme some more money? I want that ice-cream…"

Ace gritted his teeth so tense it almost breaks apart. This brat not only had thick him off by-in his words, stealing Zoro from him, she even shamelessly treating him like a friend which Ace NOT. "I JUST BOUGHT YOU A COTTON-CANDY FOR THE FIFTH TIMES!! NOT INCLUDING THE-"

"Ahh! I wanna ride that!!" she pointed at the amusement park before having her head smacked hard.
