hi guys, I designed the ff together with a friend (baliluma@aol.com).

"Land in sight! There it is, very far away!"
"Finally.", Lorenor Zorro thought and leaned against the flying lamb's throat.
"I will soon be able to keep my promise."

A delicious smell rose to his nose. Sanji had prepared the meal.
"Food is ready," he called.
Luffy and Usopp immediately stormed into the kitchen to be the first to enjoy Sanji's cooking skills.
But the ship's cook left out Nami. The two had been a couple for a few weeks and Sanji read Nami's every wish. He was totally in love, which was mutual because Nami loved Sanji very much.
Meanwhile, Johnny, who had just discovered the island, and Yosaku put their heads together and whispered. They thought Zorro had been acting so conspicuously for a few days.

Zorro had asked Luffy to take him to Gelion Island. He had to do something there now that he was the best swordsman in the world because he had defeated Hawkeye.Luffy had agreed immediately, Usopp was always available for every trip, Nami was thrilled, because that way she could draw new nautical charts again and where Nami was, there was also Sanji. Johnny and Yosaku had picked them up more by chance on the way and taken them with them.

"What he's got? Did you see? He's been smiling to himself for days.", Johnny whispered.
"Yes, I tell you, Brother Zorro has some secret," whispered Yosaku.
"What is there to whisper?", Asked Zorro surprisingly.
"Nothing at all, brother.", Johnny said hastily and hurried to join the others in the kitchen.

Zorro shook his head. What was the behavior supposed to be?
"Hey, Zorro. You don't want to eat anything?", Sanji asked and stepped up to him at the doe.
"No thanks, Sanji. I'm not hungry.", He replied and looked towards the island.
"What are you trying to hide from us, Zorro?" Asked the ship's cook.
"Hide? Nonsense Sanji. I have no secret.", Said the swordsman."You're lying. You don't want to reveal it. But well, your secret should stay your secret.", Sanji said.
"But I don't have ...", Zorro began, but he was interrupted.
"Sanji!", Nami suddenly shouted. "Luffy is torching the kitchen!"

Sanji sprinted off (with the cigarette out of his mouth a lot in the process) to prevent a misfortune (because Luffy had tried to cook for him and spread the hot roasting fat on the floor of the kitchen!). Sanji just managed to prevent the incredibly stupid captain of the Flying Lamb from setting the ship on fire.
"Better let a cook do the next time! You could have burned the ship down!" He snapped at Luffy.

Meanwhile, Zorro stood alone on deck again and enjoyed how the cool sea breeze brushed his hair. Normally he would take a nap now, but he didn't even want to think about sleeping right now. Zorro caught the argument between Sanji and Luffy weakly. "But I didn't do it on purpose, Sanji.I just wanted to try it out. "said Luffy.
"Try something? How well the Lamb burns, or what?", Sanji replied angrily and lit a new cigarette.
"I just wanted to cook.", The captain tried to defend himself.
"Then you better do it next time on land and when there is no flammable material around, you understand?", Sanji finished his lecture.

Zorro grinned. He knew very well that the kitchen was Sanji's holy place, according to All Blue of course. Sanji processed anyone into fish fillet that he dared to ruin his kitchen in the beginning.

"You say something to Luffy too.", The ship's cook asked Zorro.
"Well Luffy, I ...", Zorro got no further, because suddenly his legs gave way.
"Zorro!" Immediately Luffy and Sanji forgot their argument and hurried to Zorro.
"Hey, man. What have you got?" Sanji asked worriedly.
"I don't know. I was just so weird. I think I'm going to be sick.", The swordsman replied, his face turning green."Luffy, did you cook and let him try it?" Asked the ship's cook.
"No, Sanji. I swear it to you. With my title as (future) King of the Pirates.", Luffy swore.
"What's going on with you guys?", Johnny asked, then he saw Zorro.
"Brother Zorro. What about you?"
Zorro had straightened up in the meantime and no longer looked quite so green.
"Nothing. I'll be fine," he muttered.
"Sure?" Luffy asked.
"Sure.", Zorro confirmed.
"Maybe you should lie down and rest. That will do you good.", Sanji suggested.
"You're right.", Zorro answered him.
"Shall we help you.", Johnny and Luffy asked.
"No, it's okay.", Zorro said with a certain expression, got up and went down into the boy's room.

"What do you think he's got?", Johnny thought out loud when Zorro had disappeared.
"As long as he has not been stung by a pirate fly, everything is fine.", Nami suddenly spoke up.
"A pirate fly?" Asked the others in disbelief."Yes, a pirate fly. Its name may sound harmless, but its sting will knock the strongest pirate out of the shoes. If you are stung by a fly like this, you suffer from attacks of weakness, nausea, fever and barely healed wounds start to bleed again. ", Nami explained, like from a dictionary.
"Then we want to hope that Zorro was not stung by such a cattle. After all, his wounds from the last fight with the pirates have hardly healed.", Said Johnny.
"But I don't think that's the case. He may hardly have any strength and he felt sick, but maybe it's because he ate something wrong." Luffy speculated.
"Do you want to question my cooking skills and claim that it is my fault that he is sick?" Sanji replied immediately, extremely indignant at this remark.
"If that's what you think, I'll put you on a diet. Do the same to your food if you fear I might poison you."
"That was not what I meant.", Luffy apologized quickly.
"I was only making assumptions."
"If it was Zorro's only weakness, then he might have a slight seasickness.", Yosaku suspected, but didn't sound very convinced.

Zorro fell on the boy's room sofa. He was exhausted, even though he hadn't tried hard.
He was warm and the wound on his stomach, which he had sustained by carelessness during the last fight, hurt a little.
"What's the matter with me?" He thought.
It hadn't been the first faint attack. He had had her for a few days. Ever since he had that stab on his arm. A small stitch that was swollen and red.
It was mostly in the evening.
The whole day had passed normally, but when he wanted to go to sleep he suddenly passed out. Just like that, for no reason.
None of the others had noticed anything (they had all slept far too deeply) and he hadn't said anything to any of them. But the attacks had been repeated several times.Mostly in the evening when the temperatures changed, but now and then in the morning too. But that was the first of the day now.
"Why do I have to get sick now, of all times? Now that we are soon in Gelion and I can keep my promise. Why now?" Were Zorro's thoughts before he fell asleep exhausted.

Later, Sanji checked on Zorro.
"Ah, he's sleeping.", Thought the ship's cook and very carefully placed the tray with tea on the table.
Then he quietly left the room again.
Out on deck, Luffy and Usopp were just about to start a noisy scuffle.
"Stop it!" Sanji hissed. "For heaven's sake be quiet! Zorro is sleeping and if he's really sick, he needs rest now. So move your scuffle to another time!"
The two, very careful not to upset Sanji (because who else should cook the food?), Stopped suddenly and moved quietly on the deck.

Zorro woke up and felt that he had slept a little.He saw the tea on the table.
"Definitely from Sanji.", He thought and took a long swig. The tea was wonderfully warm and refreshing. "A cold beer would have done it too, but if it had to be ..." he thought to himself while he emptied the cup with relish, sip by sip.
After he was completely drunk, Zorro got up cautiously. His wound hurt a little, but otherwise he felt better. He decided to go out a little.

When Zorro came on deck, he was literally attacked by Usopp.
"Ah, Zorro. How are you feeling? Are you feeling better? Are you in pain? Can I do something for you?", He asked angrily.
"Take it easy, Usopp. I'm better and you don't need to do anything for me.", Zorro replied, trying hard not to just stroll past Usopp, but on the direct way to the kitchen.
Everything happened too quickly. Luffy's warning call: "Watch out, Zorro!", Someone hit Zorro with full force and he fell over like a stone."Aaaaaah, Brother Zorro!" Yosaku shouted angrily.
"He's not moving," added Johnny with a frightened, barely audible breath.
"Sanji!"
Sanji came out of the kitchen annoyed. "What is ...?" The rest of the thing got stuck in his throat when he saw Zorro lying on the floor.
"What did you do with Zorro? He was completely knocked out!" He shouted reproachfully to the others and looked at them gloomily.
"Well," Johnny began.
"Well, Brother Luffy, Yosaku and I were looking for something to do. We just chased our way over, uh, the ship. Just as Yosaku turned the corner, Zorro suddenly stood there. Yosaku couldn't brake anymore and, well then this accident happened. "
"Accident? He kicked away completely. Tell me, Yosaku, how much do you actually weigh? You'd think a walrus hit him.", Sanji said.
"Started? Since when have walruses been driving? I would rather say rolled over.", Luffy corrected and caught a dirty look from Sanji's side.After a long back and forth, they decided to put the still unconscious Zorro back on the sofa.

The first thing Zorro thought of when he regained consciousness was only: "Since when have walruses been running aboard a ship?" He had a terrible headache and everything was still slightly blurred. Zorro blinked and the colors that had flickered before his eyes disappeared. There was a soft knock. "Come in," replied Zorro. Luffy, Johnny, and Yosaku entered like three beaten dogs.
"Hello brother. How are you?" Yosaku asked carefully.
"I still have a few headaches." answered Zorro. "But a little tip to you Yosaku, go on a diet again!"
