Zorro had withdrawn and was now sitting thoughtfully in the crow's nest. He still wondered why he could suddenly read minds. There had to be some catch to it, but what? Since he hadn't found an answer even after hours of pondering, he decided to leave it alone for the time being. As soon as he decided he fell asleep (typical)!

"Hey Zorro, wake up you've overslept all day! At least come to dinner," Nami shouted, rudely waking him from his dream. "It's okay, I'm coming," he muttered, jumping lightly onto the deck. "By the way, we're still arriving on an island today. If I'm not mistaken, Treasure Island." The swordsman followed the navigator into the galley and promptly there was that torrent of thoughts again before he had run away this morning. With such a muddle of thoughts you couldn't understand a word!

He sat down next to his captain and loaded his plate with Sanji's delicious food. While he ate, he kept trying to block out the thoughts of the others, concentrating as hard as he could on Nami. He just wanted to hear what she thought, the rest was left out for now and it worked! He could hear Nami's thoughts.

Treasure Island ... that sounds good, supposedly the greatest treasures from all eras are to be piled up there. There will be something for me there…. … Zorro…… argh not again! I just can't get this guy out of my head. It's been buzzing around in my head since we left Alabasta. But do I love him or is it a crush? But am I not too old for that? It's complicated, and even if I love him, that chunk of ice - I'll correct - that incredibly good-looking chunk of ice probably doesn't feel for me. But I always get the wrong people and then there's Luffy. I'm kind of drawn to both of them oh man Nami finally make up your mind.Well, now I'm going to eat ... hm that tastes really good ...

Zorro was now as red as a tomato. He had expected to find out intimate details in the thoughts of his friends, but now he was surprised and above all embarrassed. So Nami thought he looked really good? Life was really full of surprises! Zorro's curiosity grew and he wanted to know what was going on in Luffy's head.
He was now fully focused on the black-haired man and what he heard was no less astonishing than Nami's thoughts.

That tastes incredibly good ... hm ... more of it (gets a lookup) so if I were a woman I would marry Sanji, then at least there would always be good food. But I'm a man, thank God. It does not matter. Although it doesn't really matter, I am a man and Nami is a woman. Well that fits like a fist on the eye. She's pretty, intelligent and determined, ok she's also a bit brutal but hey nobody is perfect. Do you like me? So as a man! Well, I'll ask you when the opportunity arises, I can be completely different. Neat and cultivated, but for me it is too stressful for everyday life, exuberant, happy and hungry is much easier to implement and is fun! If I keep thinking so much I still get a knot in my brain or my hair is as green as Zorro his ha ha ha

This insight was enough for Zorro. He had completely misjudged his captain and that happened to him very rarely, as he usually had a very good knowledge of human nature, but Luffy could not be compared with others either, but that he has feelings for Nami is awesome. Zorro had to digest that first. Nami had feelings for him and for Luffy and Luffy loved Nami and himself? Who did he actually love? He was suddenly torn from his musings. "Hey Zorro, you are so absent? Is everything okay?" asked Chopper to live up to his role as a doctor."Yes, everything is fine," replied Zorro and now devoted himself exclusively to his food.

A few hours later they arrived on Treasure Island, they moored the Flying Lamb and decided to see the island the next morning, as it was already dark.
So the crew went to sleep and just let the next day come upon them.

Cool morning air blew over the Flying Lamb and Nami enjoyed how the wind played around her hair. They had all already had breakfast and the navigator couldn't wait to finally take a closer look at the island. She was just waiting for Vivi, who had left her handbag in the room.

"So we can go," announced the princess and quickly tied her hair into a ponytail while walking. "At last. I can hardly wait." The two girls made their way into the city, Vivi's goal was clearly the boutiques, Nami, on the other hand, wanted to make inquiries about the old treasures. So they agreed to go shopping first and then visit a few bars.

The boys, however, had not yet agreed who should take care of the ship. Usually it was Zorro's job, or rather, he usually did it voluntarily. Today, however, he had other plans. He wanted to find out whether he could read other people's minds or whether it was limited to the crew. "So who is staying here now?" Luffy asked impatiently, after all a new island was waiting for him to be discovered. "I have to get medicine and some other substances," Chopper declined to thank, grabbed his backpack and jumped over the ship.

"I'm for Sanji staying here," Usop said. "But I have to get some new provisions, you pea brain. Why don't you stay here?" he asked, pouting. "Because ... yes because ... I couldn't defend the ship, ha!" "He's right," Luffy interjected."So it's decided. Today Sanji watch out," ordered Captain Luffy and hacked into Usopp. "We'll have fun then!"

Zorro also saw to it that he got away as quickly as possible, so that there would not be another discussion with Sanji. He was really angry that he was now forced to stay on the Lamb. Well he shouldn't care. He had more important things to do now. Zorro mingled with the crowd in a good mood. Heard here and there what people thought. Sometimes it was rather boring stuff, but some things were also very interesting. He decided to invest his last few berries in a nice cool beer.

He was about to go through the pub door when he noticed a woman dressed in black. Not because of her clothes, after all, he had already seen a few freaks, no, she stared at him. Not a random look, no, her eyes literally pierced him. That seemed very suspicious to him and he decided to read the woman's mind, maybe there was an answer hidden in it.

So he focused on the lady and heard the following:
Hello young man, I think you enjoy looking into the minds of others. Thats not nice!

Zorro was startled. She had seen through him, but how on earth was that possible? He walked up to her, hesitated for a moment, then threw all concerns aside. "Who are you?" he asked in a somewhat shaky voice, after all she had revealed his little secret to me nothing to you. "Victoria," introduced the young woman. She couldn't resist a victorious grin, which is why Zorro became all the more suspicious.

"What's going on here?" the swordsman asked angrily. The laugh would go away, he thought. "Follow me and I'll explain everything to you. There are too many people here," she replied and ran away. Zorro did what he had to do and followed her. After a while they arrived at a small hut a bit out of town.Zorro followed her inside the house and couldn't take it any longer. "Now you're finally telling me what's going on here! How the hell do you know I can mind-read?" he asked angrily. "Oh, I wasn't sure until just now, but you just destroyed my doubts," she replied and sat down in an armchair. She motioned for Zorro to make himself comfortable in the person opposite and he did as he was told.

"Well, you will have been amazed that you of all people got this gift, after all you have not consumed the devil's fruit," began Victoria. Zorro nodded in agreement. "I'll make it very short: I ate the Magic-Magic fruit and cast a spell, actually it was supposed to hit me, but I somehow got tangled up and so the spell randomly passed on to someone. And it looks like you are this one Someone. Unfortunately, the thought spell is one of those that can only be performed once in 100 years, "she finished.

"Well that's what I call bad luck," Zorro replied dryly. Now that the riddle of this ability was solved, he saw no reason to linger in the presence of this lady any longer. Viktoria, on the other hand, had other plans. "What's your name anyway?" she asked first to get a little breath. "Zorro," replied the swordsman curtly. "Good Zorro, since you now have this ability and not me, I have to come up with something. I didn't use this spell for fun," she thought out loud. "I have to thwart your plans, whatever you're planning, I won't help you because I'm a pirate and I'll be sailing on soon," Zorro refused, without knowing exactly what Viktoria was actually planning.

In the meantime, Nami and Vivi had come across Luffy and Usopp. Both parties were packed with all kinds of bags and decided to make themselves comfortable in a pub.Luffy was very fussy for some reason. He has to control himself not to babble out loud. But when Usopp gave him an encouraging push in the ribs, he could no longer hold back. "Nami, I brought you something, a present!" he announced proudly and if Nami didn't deceive everything he even blushed a little.

"To me?" asked the navigator in surprise. Luffy had bought her a present. If that wasn't strange then she didn't know the definition of the word. "Yes here," he replied shyly - yes shyly! - and handed her a small, elongated package.
Nami took it hesitantly and slowly began to unpack it. A black elongated package came to light, she flipped it open and saw what was hidden inside. "But ... Luffy is beautiful," she stuttered and took a silver necklace out of its packaging. "But how do I get the honor?" asked the orange-haired woman and gave Vivi the chain so that she could put it on her.

Now Luffy was the one who stuttered. "I ... well, I just like you," he blushed and sipped his milk. "Thank you, that's sweet of you," Nami breathed in his ear and kissed him on the cheek. Luffy's face, previously only slightly
