Etiquette

There were few things Portgas D. Ace feared. Among them though, was a quick visit from Garp - i.e., being kidnapped and taken to the nearest military base that Garp happened to be at, and being victim to any one of Garp's favored lectures or stories. At twenty Ace had long since developed resignation over it, however.

He sometimes wished that he could tune it out, but Garp's lectures and stories always had a point. Unfortunately.

"Hi, Grandpa," Ace sulked, slumping deeper into the couch of Garp's commandeered office.

"Ah, Ace. Good of you to stop by."

Ace turned his head to eye the guard at the door, then the three in front of the window. "Right. You wanted to talk?"

"Yes. I've been holding off an important talk for a while now."

Ace knew better than to assume anything. "What's that?"

"Etiquette," Garp said succinctly, as he poured Ace a cup of tea. "Sugar?"

"No thanks." Sighing, Ace sat up and reached for the offered cup. "I already have good etiquette. Shouldn't you be giving Luffy this lecture?"

"Oh, he's already on the Grand Line following that dream of his."

Ace raised his eyebrows in surprise. "When was this?"

"About five months ago." Garp took a thoughtful drink before continuing. "The etiquette we need to discuss is a delicate matter."

"It usually is." Ace made himself comfortable. This didn't sound so bad.

"Well, we can't be having you walking into the room dressed in a dog costume and expect your date to be all for it, especially on the first date."

Ace froze in shock. "Oh my God! Grandpa!"

"Not everyone is as understanding as your grandmother."

"Grandma?!" This was going to be horrible, Ace just knew it.

It's a Date?

Zoro clunked up the stairs, buttoning up one of Sanji's shirts. "Robin? Ready to go?"

Robin blinked as she took in the boots, skirt, and button down ensemble Zoro was wearing. "You look good."

Nami blinked, "Who helped you choose your outfit?"

"I did it myself."

"But-but it looks good on you. It's even color coordinated. Flatteringly." Nami stuttered.

"It's just clothes, Nami." Dismissing her, he looked back at Robin. "It's good?"

"Much better than I expected. Let's go."

Nodding, Zoro passed Nami and followed Robin.

Usopp had to ask, "Zoro, why are you wearing a skirt?"

"Lost a bet with Robin. I had to show her what a date is like while in a skirt."

"Oh."

"How'd it go?" Chopper asked.

"Good, until the fight broke out," Zoro said blandly, as he ate his soup.

"There was a fight?" Nami asked, surprised.

"Yes, and Robin defended my honor quite nicely."

"Why'd she want to go on a date?" Luffy asked.

Zoro took a drink before answering. "She wants to ask Franky out."

"Wha?"

"Huh?"

Franky's mind stuttered at that tidbit, so he fell back on his default response. Pose and say, "S-super?"

Nami blinked. "Does he realize that can be construed as yes?"

"Not at the moment," Brook responded. "Wait for it to hit."

"Tomorrow night?" Robin asked, ruthlessly taking advantage.

"S-super?"

"Six then?"

"S-super?"

"Great, I'll dress for dinner." Robin kissed Franky on the cheek before going to her room.

Zoro blinked and gently poked Franky with a sheathed sword, causing the coiffed man to fall over on his back still locked in pose.

A New Bra

Zoro stopped in front of the sunbathing Nami and kicked her lounge chair. "Hey, I'm going to need some money when we reach port."

"Do I look like the bank?"

"Yes, since you usually have the treasure until we ask for our shares."

"Right." Nami sat up a little more. "How much?"

"Shouldn't be more than thirty beri."

"So little? What do you need it for?"

"My bra doesn't fit anymore. I need a new one."

"What do you mean 'doesn't fit'?"

Zoro lifted his shirt to show her. "I think my breasts got bigger."

Nami's eyes widened at the has-to-be-very-uncomfortably-tight bra. "You sure it wasn't shrunk?"

"Pretty sure. They felt bigger when I checked. I'm pretty sure they grew."

Nami blinked. "Why does it surprise me that you groped your own chest?"

"Because you think I'm asexual. Or at least that's what you claim."

She thought that over for a minute before nodding. "Probably. Sure, catch me when we reach port and I'll give you some of your money."

Zoro was about to leave when Nami suddenly squeaked, jumped up, and grabbed his arm and started dragging him over to Robin.

"Hey!"

"Come on. LUFFY!" Nami yelled as they passed by their captain. "Follow us."

Robin carefully marked her page and looked at them. "Yes?"

"We need a new judgment."

"What?" Zoro asked as he wrenched his arm away.

"Your breasts got bigger. New contest."

"Your breasts got bigger?" Luffy asked Zoro in surprise.

Zoro shrugged. "Enough to need a new bra."

"Cool."

"Uncomfortable. They hurt."

"That makes sense. They would." At the blank looks she received, Robin clarified, "For breast feeding. Even if you don't, you'll still have milk for a little while. Thus, enlarged breasts until the milk dries up."

"Huh." Zoro shrugged. "That's what Chopper said. How'd you know?"

In answer Robin held up the book she was reading.

"This is all very fascinating," Nami interrupted, "but we have something to settle. Lose the shirts and bras."

"Eh?" Luffy asked, confused.

"She thinks my bigger breasts will change the ruling."

Luffy thought it over before shrugging. "I don't mind."

Zoro looked over at Robin and shrugged. "Whatever." Taking off his shirt and bra he turned to look at Luffy.

"Wow, they are bigger!" Luffy exclaimed.

"Don't say things like that while holding my breasts," Zoro ordered flatly.

Baby's First Sword

Zoro glared at the package-wielding raptor. "What the hell are you doing on my couch?"

Giving him a piercing stare that he returned, it clicked its beak a few times before letting go of the package and hopping onto the arm of the couch.

Wisely, Zoro didn't retrieve the package, but rather waited until the bird took off, leaving the Thousand Sunny far behind.

Zoro carefully inspected the long package before opening it. In the box rested a katana and letter. Reading the letter, he was surprised to find it had been sent by Mihawk.

"What's that?" Usopp asked, sitting down on the other couch.

"Gift from Mihawk." Zoro held up the sword to inspect it.

"He sent you a sword?"

"It's for the baby. Good sword too."

"Well at least it'll go with the sword-patterned baby blanket Tashigi sent you," Usopp said, referring to the package and congratulations/challenge letter that Zoro had gotten the week before.

"What is it about babyies that has people giving you stuff?"

"I think part of that's just you. It's almost like you've never had a present given to you before."

Zoro gave Usopp a confused look, "I've gotten plenty of presents."

"Yeah, but you don't seem like it."

Zoro shrugged. It wasn't like there was anything he could do about it.

Wrong Drink

Nami picked up one of the drinks sitting on the table as she listened to Robin. "I think I got the wrong drink," she said carefully after swallowing.

"How do you know that?"

"Hot!" Nami turned her head and breathed fire for a moment.

"Here." Robin handed Nami her own drink. "Are you okay?"

Nami nodded as she gulped down the glass. "You know, it's actually pretty good. I think I want a lot less spice in mine though."
