All together now!

Pairing: Mention of ZoroxLuffy, paired together on the strength of being the two craziest, though only by a whisker.
Word Count: 300
Topic: Wisdom (or lack thereof. Hey, this is Team Straw Hat, right?)
Warning: A SPOILER for Thriller Bark arc!
Brooke plinked his fiddle strings and considered his new crewmates.
First, there was Franky. Building a ship and sailing it was a lovely notion, but...not all the way to Raftel, deadliest place on the planet.
An archaeologist studying the past made sense; choosing to be branded Public Enemy Number One for studying the Lost History made considerably less.
Becoming renowned for bravery was a widespread ambition amongst pirates, but the wisdom of it was questionable when one had both the spine of a jellyfish and enough brains to see the dangers ahead.
As for Chopper, he'd certainly chosen the right ship to better his medical skills, but it didn't say much for his instincts of self-preservation.
Nami wanted to draw a world map which would include the Grand Line, aka the pirate's graveyard, while Sanji was staking his life on finding a sea which, according to all known lore, didn't exist.
Zoro craved a rematch with the man who'd nearly chopped him in two the first time. The only reason this attitude couldn't be called 'suicidal' was that it wouldn't leave any word strong enough for his rubber boyfriend's great big ambition, and the less said about that the better, it made Brooke's skull ache.
Brooke, overjoyed at finding a crew in which a skeletal musician braving the Grand Line for the sake of a whale was pretty much par for the course, broke into a mad jig on his fiddle, an impromptu composition to celebrate his new friends.
Oh to live the life of a pirate
You will need plenty of guts.
Hope and valour aplenty
Good folk will say you are nuts.
In this brave life we have chosen,
to do what we dream will be done,
wisdom is much overrated,
'tis better by far to have none!
END
