Rating: PG
Pairing: Implied Zoro/Sanji
Word Count: 299
The clash of steel and roar of gunfire and canonfire were only too familiar by now. This time it was just some no-names who sought the fame associated with taking down someone with Luffy's impressive bounty. It was a dull sort of ambush; even the crew's numbers gave them no advantage.
Zoro's blades were stained crimson -- unsatisfying and vaguely annoying, just another cleaning for a fight where he'd gain no skill. Another man fell under his attack; none of them dead, hardly worth the effort. Two at once, charging from the left. No problem, down in three seconds.
He turned then, ready for the attack coming from behind but in mid-spin took a blow to the stomach that was unmistakable. A heavy, steel-toed shoe with a force behind it that Zoro was only too familiar with -- the damn cook.
"Baka-mayuge--!" Zoro started to snarl, left with the faintest wheeze in his throat from being knocked back a good several yards.
"Don't get lazy, asshole," Sanji shot back over his shoulder without a second thought. Then he was back in to the melee.
Zoro glanced at the canonball-shaped hole that was in the deck railing where he had just been standing. An annoyed growl rumbled in his throat even as he blocked another attack, energy renewed for the fight as he made his way across the Going Merry's crowded deck.
It was nothing new, hardly the first time the shitty cook had spared him from danger in the middle of a fight when no one was looking. He couldn't remember anymore who was the first to make the move, who created this unspoken eternal exchange of debt and repayment. But now it was his turn again and he would repay it. One way or another.
