"WHAT!?" screamed the others in shock. Sanji's cigerette fell from his mouth, Usopp and Chopper colapsed on the ground, Luffy then threw back his head and laughed hysterically, and the others stood with their jaws hanging open.
"There is no possible way they can be realated!" Usopp said from where he lay.
"No, she's right. Zoro is my little brother." Smoker said. They all gaped at him in shock.
"How is that even possible?" Sanji asked. Zoro sighed.
"We have the same parents idiot cook." he growled. Sanji would have retaliated, but this was almost as big of a shock as when they learned that Monkey D. Dragon was Luffy's father. Luffy continued to laugh until Sanji kicked him upside the head.
"This isn't a laughing matter!" he screamed at the Captain. Luffy looked up, not bothering to stop.
"It's just funny...how after all this time...of trying to...arrest us and exicute us...that it turns out...that he was hunting...his little brother! And his brother...turned out...to be Zoro!" Luffy said between fits of laughter. To their surprise, Zoro started laughing too, and Smoker quickly followed. With them all laughing, Robin joined in and so did Chopper. The laugh was contagious as Sanji, Nami, Franky, and Brook started to laugh to and Usopp and Tashigi soon followed. The group laughed for a few minutes before settiling down.
"So when did you guys even figure this out?" Nami asked.
"Back when he captured me." Zoro said. Smoker bit into the end of his cigerette, suddenly remembering why all of this had happened. He had been trying to ceatch Luffy and found Zoro on the Thousand Sunny. Plus, there was now a skeliton man who he had never even seen before. 'It appears you found a new crew member strawhat.' he thought.
"So now what are you going to do?" Sanji asked. Zoro looked up at Smoker, who he was still leaning all of his weight on. Smoker seemed to notice and sat down, laying Zoro on the ground as he did. Zoro went to sit up, but little Chopper was already by his side, looking over his wounds.
"I haven't decided yet." he said. Luffy came over and poked Zoro's side.
"That hurts you idiot!" Zoro hissed, but Luffy started laughing agian at having Zoro back. Nami and Sanji stood over Zoro grinning from ear to ear with Robin sitting by Chopper. Usopp, Franky, and Brook burst into tears at having their friend back. Tashigi immeditaly was by Smokers side, tears in her eyes at having him back. Smoker gave her a smile as he looked over at Zoro again, who was now laughing along with his crew. 'What? Can't a guy help out his bumbiling kid brother?!' 'He's your kid brother! Stand aside Ace!' "Fraid I can't do that, you understand.' Ace had told him when he tried to capture Luffy back in Alabasta. Smoker grinned at the memory. 'No Ace, I didn't understand at the time.' he thought as he watched Zoro laughing with his friends again. 'But I do now.' He then turned to Tashigi.
"Tashigi, call Head Quarters. Tell them that the strawhat's escaped us and we are in need of a new ship to leave this island." Smoker said, earning a huge rubbery grin from the Pirate Captain. Tashigi smiled, the tears shinning in her eyes.
"Yes sir!" she said as she left.

Zoro woke up on the Thousand Sunny. His wounds were bandaged and he felt better than he had. Looking around he didn't see anyone. Thinking the whole thing was a dream Zoro walked off the ship. "Good to see your up and moving." Smoker said, suddenly by his side. Zoro didn't jump, he just smiled softly.
"Thanks." he told him. Tashigi came running over.
"Smoker sir, the new ship has just arrived!" she said. Smoker nodded.
"I guess this is good by then." Zoro said. Smoker nodded.
"SMOKEY DON'T GO! YOU CAN JOIN MY CREW AND THEN YOU AND ZORO CAN BE LIKE ME AND ACE!" Luffy whinned. Smoker and Zoro looked over to see the other eight strawhat pirates. Zoro shock his head.
"You moron. He's a marine, he can't just become a pirate." Zoro scolded Luffy. Smoker smiled and ruffled Zoro's hair, an action the surprised everyone including himself.
"Hey Strawhat!" Smoker called, getting Luffy's attention. "I'm letting you go this time for my little brothers sake. I want you to keep him safe and don't let any marines ceatch him, understand?!" Smoker said. Luffy nodded. Zoro looked up at Smoker with wide eyes in surprise. "As for you Zoro, try and behave your self. Don't get caught and I'll see you agian. I'm still going to ceatch your Captain you know." he said. Zoro smirked.
"You can try." he said. Both him and Smoker shock hands, then Zoro waved. "See ya Smoker." he called. The strawhats ran to their ship. He couls hear Nami screaming orders, something like 'yes Nami my love' and another shout of dartbrows. He couldn't help but smile as him and Tashigi stood watching the Thousand Sunny said away into the sea, the inhabidents off on their next adventure!
