Rating: G
Word Count: 300
Pairing: Luffy, Zoro
Topic: (rendering a) Service
A/N: Finally got something out. I think I'm in Writer's Block; haven't been able to get out any completed stuff all month. But eh.
Arguably there hadn’t exactly been time for talk and what Zoro had really meant to say was ‘swordsman’. But still. He’d agreed to become a pirate. And he was sure ‘being a pirate’ meant constant fighting and blood and stealing booze off enemy ships and looting and gold – stuff he didn’t mind too much. The devil had taken over his conscience long ago.
But this…
“I like music. Do you like music? I like music. We should get a musician as soon as possible. But where are we supposed to get a musician, anyway, and I want the best musician, if that’s possible – no, wait, it is possible. Don’t you think? Music’s nice. We used to have this band of players who’d come by the island every month or so - ”
God, thought Zoro, and wished he hadn’t joined.
“It’s not like the best musician is going to waltz up to you or anything, you know.”
“Of course I know. Don’t be stupid. I’ll have to ask them first.” Luffy laughed at the sky. “I want the best to be in my crew.”
Zoro snorted and didn’t look at his swords.
“The best,” he said.
“Yeaaaah. The best.” Luffy flopped backwards in the dingy, hands behind his head, hat shading his eyes. “Of course they won’t be the best when I find them. That sort of thing… not possible.” He grinned behind the straw. “They’ll become the best after they join. Nothing’s stronger than getting your dreams with a bunch of other people.”
A wave rocked the boat.
“It’s kind of like graduation,” Luffy added, thoughtfully.
Zoro found it difficult to imagine Luffy having ever graduated from anything. (Except, perhaps, for stupidity… and whatever that weird, warm fuzzy thing was that told him to stay and kept him there.)

"Nothing’s stronger than getting your dreams with a bunch of other people." This is so... perfectly One Piece. And I love that Luffy uses "stronger" instead of better or easier or any other word.
You can produce a drabble based solely on IC Luffy. You stun me ma'dam.
