This is incredibly stupid, short, and pointless. It's just a writer's block breaker that was written like three months ago. But I wanted to post something.

Sea Rulers
It was a beautiful day on the open sea, sun shining, smooth sailing, and not a cloud in the sky. Everyone's favorite pirate crew was relaxing peacefully on the ship.
Sanji was busy making breakfast in the galley. Chopper was in the bedrooms trying to perfect another non-toxic medicine. Nami and Robin were sun-bathing on the hull. Usopp was actively fixing the banister that a certain captain had plowed through just that morning; and said captain was sitting up in the crows nest with his dozing first-mate.
It was just an ordinary, peaceful day… one that bored Luffy to heck and back again.
"Oooo, look at the fishies, Zolo!"
"Mm-hmm, nice Luffy."
"They're so pretty!"
"uh-huh"
"They move so fast!"
"Hn."
"Hahahaha, they're all smooshie feeling!"
His captain's continuous laughing caused Zolo's eyes to peek open, and he found his gaze stuck on a much-too-bubbly Luffy, actually holding one of the cook's new goldfish. "Luf, put it back…" Zolo said around a yawn, and chuckled at the other's pout.
Luffy's pout suddenly transformed into a grin. "I bet they taste good," The thoughtfulness in the teen's boyish tone caused Zolo to sit up.
"Put the fish back Luffy, that crap-cook's making breakfast."
Luffy's eyes only smiled at the guppy, causing Zolo to sigh with irritation. "You can't eat it."
"But… why not?"
Zolo shrugged, and Luffy started laughing; waving the fish in the air. He let out a startled cry when the pet suddenly slipped through his fingers and over the ship's deck, landing with a tiny plop in the big blue water below.
"Ahh, oops… Zolooo, it went swimming.."
"Amazing job, Captain…" Zolo deadpanned, sarcasm dripping from every inch of those words.
"OI! BREAKFAST'S SOIVED!"
The ship's chef's call alerted everyone on deck, and feet scrambled towards the kitchen; Luffy being no exception. The fish incident was conveniently pushed to the back of his brain.
Zolo sighed and ran a hand through his spiky green hair before turning to follow his captain down. He didn't get too far however, as blonde hair peeked itself over the basket and Sanji stepped in beside him, giving him a curt nod.
"Morning, lazy ass."
"Hn. Shitty chef." Zolo turned to leave again, before freezing suddenly. "What're you doing up here?"
"Feeding my little sea-rulers, Moldy. Go eat yer own breakfast."
Zolo shrugged and took the dismissal soundly, deciding to let Sanji deal with his own fish issues.
Sanji walked over to the small aquarium, peering inside the clear glass. One, two, three, f-… wait. Sanji blinked at his tank; three goldfish swimming playfully around each other, fourth one: no where.
He took a seething step back, "LUFFY!!!"
Yup, just an ordinary, peaceful day… but Luffy wasn't so bored anymore.
Err… comments and flames are always welcome. Thanks for reading.
