onepieceyaoi100Title: Hanging in the Sea
Rating: PG-13 (I think?)
Pairings: ZoLu, SanLu
Word Count: 300
Topic: Silent Exchanges (whimpers were A-OK, right?)
Warning: DEATH!
********************************
The cook was a predator that had to be stopped. That was indisputable fact.
Zoro discovered this when he happened to witness the cook deep-kissing the captain. The whimpers he heard must have been muffled sounds of protest. It was clear that Luffy was being taken advantage of, for the cook held a lot of power over the captain in the way of food. The smile on Luffy's face was all an act...
It just wasn't possible that his Luffy would kiss another so willingly. It just wasn't.
So Zoro planned.
Sword slashes were a dead-giveaway.
Bare hands were also out of the question. Distinguishable handprints would inevitably show up on the flesh.
Ordinary ropes had the risk of being broken if the cook managed to exert enough force on them.
The anchor chain was perfect. Zoro handled the anchor often, so it wouldn't seem strange that his scent would be on the chain.
The cook had struggled, but Zoro had made sure to bind his lethal legs before going for the jugular. The cook's hands had desperately scrambled along the chain, trying to pry it off his neck. Oddly, he never tried using them to attack Zoro.
...maybe it wasn't so odd. He may have had powerful legs, but his hands would've sustained damage against Zoro’s muscle-hardened body. The ero-cook always did have this notion that his hands were just as important as his life. Or were they more important?
splish-splash
Zoro tensed at the sound.
After a while he relaxed a tiny bit, reminded by the fact that the cook was not coming back. Ever. So he closed his eyes once more, trying to get some sleep before the coming dawn, when the crew of Going Merry will discover one of their own hanging in the sea.

********************************
...hard to believe I'm a Sanji-fan, huh?
I kinda wanted to do a bit of the Tell-Tale Heart effect with the splashing. And no, there was no dialogue during the murder because Sanji was choking and Zoro didn't want to wake anyone else up.

Hey, I did have inklings of the Tell-Tale Heart when I read that last bit; just didn't make a solid connection 'till you mentioned it. Kudos for the literary reference.

Kudos for the literary reference.
Thank you!

Date: 2006-05-16 10:48 pm (UTC)Are you nuts!? I barely was able to come up with a motive! I also wavered over who the killer should be, believe it or not. Make a full story? No way. Uh-uh.
After a bit of brainstorming:
Damn you. >:(
I'm now stuck with an idea that won't leave me alone. I'm still working out the details but I'm 100% sure that it's nowhere near what you're expecting.
Not sure if I'll even be able to write it out, since there are a couple of important gaps I need to fill in for it to make (non)sense and they all have to balance out to get the effect right.
Once again, damn you.
