Chapter: The day of return

>>> So, now it's starting to get serious <<<

The idea for the celebration came of course from Sanji, who presented his culinary skills to his new "beauty"

wanted. Zorro slept upstairs in the viewing basket after his morning training session until the noise of the

Revelers woke up. The loudest laughing could be heard from Luffy while telling the newcomer about his adventures.

Now and then Zorro heard a bright, clear laugh among the familiar voices that was completely alien to him. Luffy

noticed him and asked the swordsman to attend the ceremony. Sullenly, he climbed the ladder

down and looked around with a yawn. “What is there to celebrate here?” “We have a new one! Very talented

Swordsman by the way! " "Oh yes? ", Zorro remarked, slightly mocking." And who is that supposed to be? "" Sora! "called

them in chorus.

The girl with her back to him turned and smiled at Zorro. "Hello, I am pleased you

to get to know! We are colleagues, so to speak!“She grinned even wider. >> Am I crazy now? <<, he thought and

couldn't avert his eyes at all. "Kuina?" "Uh ... Sora ... just Sora! I have a question: We

could train together, right? " "No way! I don't feel like losing ... "" What? "Suddenly

he heard the voice of an old friend again: 'Zorro zero, Kuina two thousand! 'Sora grinned crookedly. "Well, like that

I'm not good either ... "

Embarrassed silence.

Then:

"Well, Zorro. Sora is part of our team from today!" "Oh, do what you want! I can do that elsewhere

past!! "Annoyed, he stomped to Luffy's favorite spot, which Luffy protested right away." I don't care! ",

Zorro snapped and turned around.

Sora felt somehow guilty and pouted. Nami was unmoved. "Oh, leave him. It is always

so on it. "

That was the end of the thing for the others, but Sora didn't see it that way. She tried again and again, Zorro

to intercept, but he consistently avoided her.In the evening, long after she gave up, sat

Sora sad on her bed. Although everyone was nice to her, she felt lonely. What did she have

just done wrong ?? And one question remained in her mind for the next few days: Who is Kuina?

It was on a particularly mild night when Sora wanted to go outside to think. Your dearest

Place was the lookout where she felt more relaxed than anywhere else on the ship. That is where she withdrew

always back when she had to think. Just like today.

But she wasn't alone today. Apparently Zorro had an urgent need to think too. "Do you mind

if I sit down to it? "; Sora asked softly. In response, she got a grumble.

>> Oh what the heck, I'll just sit in there! So! <<

The two sat next to each other in silence. While Zorro stared intently into the air, she watched

admiring his three swords. >> What treasures! A 3rd generation Yubashili and a Kitetsu!I

always thought that was cursed? Well, apparently not. Whoa, and a Wado-Ichi-Monji! One of the

King swords! << Sora tapped him carefully on the shoulder. "May I see that?" She asked and pointed

on the king's sword. "Hands off! That belongs to Kuina !!", Zorro hissed at her. "Who is Kuina?"

nothing to you !!!! "he shouted even louder." Don't interfere, just leave me alone! I cant you

see more!"

Why do you keep getting out of my way? What did i do to you " "Let me! "" Yes ... but ... "stuttered

she and was interrupted by sobs as she fought back the rising tears.

"Now don't whistle around here too! Not even Nami howls that much!" "You don't even know me! What do you do?

you against me "" That's none of your business! " "You wimp! ", Sora yelled and Zorro froze.

It was like standing face to face with Kuina. "I'm not a coward!" "Well then weakling! Weirdo!"The words broke over Zorro like a huge tidal wave.

"Stop it! Stop being like them!" "What? What am I doing?"

I am. "" Then please be different! "

"Tell your Kuina she should be different!" "You can't, because she's dead, damn it!"

It was outside now.

Sora looked down, embarrassed.

"I'm sorry. Did ... did you like her a lot?"

Totally in a rage and no longer knowing what he was saying, he shouted: “Yes, damn it!” Sora started. "It does

I'm sorry. I can imagine how much you miss her. I always missed my brother until

I found him again. "" Uh ... how? " "Yes! He's here on the flying lamp. " "I beg your pardon? " "Well, here! On

this ship! "" And who should that be? "" Well, Sanji! Sanji is my brother! " "What?"

What part of 'Sanji is my brother' did you not understand? " "Everything! Uh ... does he know?

"No, I think I'll let him fidget a little too ..."

Sanji, who had overheard the others, looked innocent (he'd hadheavily dredged on his sister XD)

"So, now I have told you my life story and now you tell me yours!" Sora smiled now

wide again, but tears still glittered in her eyes. "Well bravo!"

It took a while, most of the night actually. In the end, the whole crew knew.

The next morning everyone was at breakfast for once, even Zorro (TADA!), The other one

always avoiding Sora. Strangely enough, he got along brilliantly (well, better) with Sora.

Just Sanji's mood wasn't the best. Sora looked questioningly in his direction, but he didn’t appreciate her

Look. "What is it?" The girl asked almost casually. Luffy interrupted his feeding for a moment and

said: "Oh, he's just mad because you didn't tell him that you were his sister."

>> Oh, oh! <<

She was just about to start talking, but Zorro hit the table with his hand so that the dishes

clanked. "Does that mean you have been listening ALL the time?""Well, it really couldn't be overheard, right?" "You could at least have tried to hear away!

That was a confidential conversation! "" That concerns me too! ", Sanji hissed." But ... I want it

tell you, Sanji ... you ... me "

"Shut up, or you can get in touch with Chopper right away!" Her brother grunted, more than angry.

Now Zorro had jumped up and gave Sanji a look of deepest contempt, which Sanji topped.

In doing so, they threw the worst accusations on their heads. After a while, Sora couldn't hold it anymore

out. She jumped up and tears ran down her cheeks. Nami shouted: "Sanji!", Whereupon he

suddenly fell silent.

Sora only brought out a measly: ​​"Stop Zorro." And ran out of the room.

Not without glaring at the boys, Nami hurried after her. She found the girl completely distraught

at the lookout where she was crying softly on her knees Nami put his arm around her comfortingly. "You can

Don't take guys so seriously.With them this is permanent. "she said in a worried-mother-tongue.

"You can't let that get you down. And I'll tell you one thing: Zorro is never for anyone

jumped in. You know i think he likes you. And that means something with a guy who

is not interested in women. " "Not? "" Not since I've known him anyway. Maybe that's up to you.

Because you remind him of Kuina. I think he finally got that, that you are a pretty girl

are. "

"Nami, you're babbling. But somehow you're right too." >> At least I hope ... <<, Sora added in her mind

added and forced a smile.

They got up to go back to the rest of the crew. When the girls entered the room they saw

first Luffy, who ate with his feet because he had to hold onto Zorro and Sanji with his hands. five

Minutes later the argument had still not subsided, and both were still yelling loudly at each other.

"STOP!!"Dead silence.

Everyone stared at Sora, who stood angrily at the door.

Two or three breaths later she had calmed down and said, "Please, I don't want you guys because of you

me arguing. We're a team and we have to stick together. "" At least he insulted you.

"I can do that! I'm your big brother after all."

"So if anyone here has a right to insult Sora, it's me!" "And why you of all people?"

"Because ... um ... because I ... train you, right?" "Oh, now all of a sudden.

She fell on his neck cheering. Zorro looked around for help, but Nami just grinned to himself

down.
