Here's a somewhat-sequel to my previous drabble.
Title: The Peach

*********************
Late one night, Sanji was mulling over how he was going to make the ship's pitifully limited food supply (thanks to Luffy) last for the next two weeks. Just then he heard Zoro yelling.
“Cook! Come out here!”
Sanji went out on deck. “What you yelling about, Marimo-Head?”
Rain clouds were gathering overhead. On deck, Zoro held a rather large, pink object. Sanji came closer, realizing the object was a huge peach.
“Where'd you get that!?”
“Found it floating by the ship, so I fished it out. Thought you'd appreciate it.”
‘Appreciate it!? I'd kiss and love you forever if you'd do this kind of stuff more often!’ What Sanji said instead was, “It won't fit through the door. Cut it in half with your sword.”
‘What, not even a smile?’ “Got it.” Zoro drew a sword out and showed his skill.
Rain started to fall from the sky.
The peach halves fell apart and the two men noticed a few things wrong with the scene. For one, the amount of 'juice' that dribbled out of the fruit was a bit too much. Second, the texture of the juice was too thick. The color was much, much brighter than expected, too. What was really interesting was the insid-
*CLOP*
*step* *step* *step*
*splash*
Sanji had closed the peach up, gone to the railing, and heaved the peach back into the ocean. Turning around, he strode up to Zoro and said, “Well, that was a complete waste of my time. You go back to night-watching. Don't call me for anything this stupid again, got it?”
Zoro nodded as Sanji brushed past him back into the galley. The rain fell harder, washing away the stain left by the peach.
Zoro decided that this was the second-most disturbing dream he had ever had.

Date: 2005-03-29 07:27 am (UTC)I'm a little confused though--was it really just a dream, or has Zoro just decided to write it off as one?
Pretty funny, if a bit morbid. ^_^
Oh, and what's the most disturbing dream he's ever had?
(I wish lj had a edit post function...)

Go back two entries ago (using the arrows at the top of this drabble post) and you'll see my previous drabble "Sir Knight" where Zoro gets his limbs hacked off by none other than (Monty Python's) King Arthur. I greatly recommend watching "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" if at all possible. It's officially one of the best comedy movies out there.

I've seen it (a few times).
"WHAT... is your name?"
"Monkey D. Luffy!"
"WHAT... is your quest?"
"To become the Pirate King!"
"WHAT... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?"
"What does 'unladen' mean?"
"I don't kno-AAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!"

Date: 2005-03-30 03:47 pm (UTC)The event was just too disturbing to process as reality.
Or, in it's-all-Zoro's-dream theory, Sanji's nonchalantness adds to the wrongness of it all.
I grew up with that story as a kid
You, too? (I'm half-Japanese.)

And Momotaro was my favorite, next to the "WHY DID YOU PASS GAS IN MY PRESENSE DIE!!!" one. Gotta say, the image of baby-killing Zoro is going to stick with me for quite some time now .... ^__^;;
