Title: Abort Mission
Topic: Compromise
Word Count: 300
Rating: PG for light swearing
Pairing: Real obvious, but I won't say outright (humor me, please)
Disclaimer: No own, no money, no sue
Summary: Apparently it's difficult to just watch

The mission was simple; the treasure map was guarded, but in a space that could be covertly watched to provide for further planning.  It was true that such a stealthy operation would be best suited by Nami or Robin, but the Marine base on the island necessitated that the watchers be able to fight their way out.  It was decided that the crew would wait at the Sunny while Sanji and Zoro carried out this first stage.  Everyone slept easily except for Sanji, Zoro, and Usopp who was on watch.  The Liar felt confident, but when Usopp spotted two half-naked idiots running his way followed by a contingent of Marines, it was all he could do to not let his Allergic-to-Marines-Thus-I-Need-To-Haul-Ass-Out-Of-Here-Nakama-Be-Damned Syndrome take hold until they had boarded.

After the Sunny had put a sizeable distance between the crew and the swarming Marines, Nami finally allowed her indignation to take hold.

“What the hell were you doing?  We had a plan and it didn’t require either of you to get anywhere near a Marine!  Hell, you didn’t even have to move, you just had to stay at your posts!”

While Zoro turned an interesting shade of pink while attempting to employ the full use of his patented Death Glare, Sanji remained surprisingly calm in the face of Nami’s wrath.  He coolly lit a cigarette and breezed out an answer as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

“Our positions were compromised and we had to pull out and run.”

Nami remained unsatisfied with this, but at least she wasn’t angry.  Well, she wasn’t angry until she caught what Zoro muttered under his breath to Sanji as they turned to leave.

“Heh, technically only one of us had to pull out, shit cook.”

Instant rage.

(I take mild objection to Robin not being able to kick ass, however for the purposes of this hilariousness, I don't really care.)

I definitely agree with that and had second thoughts when I wrote it, but the damn 300 word limit didn't let me insert a plausible reason why Robin couldn't go (I'm thinking Sanji would loudly protest, as he does).

I LOL'd hard when I read that. And the ending too, of course. This = Made of Win.
