It was quiet on the way back to The Sunny Go, Zoro had Nami in his arms, she was sleeping as all the climbing and walking had tired her out. No one spoke that Zoro had seen to return to normal, once upon arriving to the ship. Chopper was the first to speak, telling Zoro to take Nami to the medical which he nodded to and the little reindeer followed after leaving the others.
"So..."Usopp said.
"Should we?"Sanji asked.
But Luffy shook his head and followed after the swordsman and doctor but he told the others not to for there was something he needed to ask. The others knew not to question Luffy so they all stay on the deck, waiting for the news on what had happened. Robin watched as the door click, how was it that Zoro had returned to them so she turned left to the stairs and Franky followed her, he could see the confusion on her face.
"I was so sure of it"she mumbled.
She was sure it was love that had brought Zoro to this but their swordsman had returned by himself, no pronouncing of Love or an act of Love so she sat down. Franky sat next to her and wrapped an arm around her, she looked up at him and told him she was so sure of it and he replied back to her maybe it was that or maybe something more.
"What do you mean?"she asked.
"Maybe you were right, a act of Love did this to Zoro and an act of Love changed him back"Franky replied.
"Yeah, Nami told us how Zoro had protected her on that island and she protected him from the same man that had hurt them both"Brook piped in.
The two of them looked at Brook who had walked up the stairs to join them, the skeleton turned his head so Robin and Franky followed his view to see they were looking at Nami's tangerine grove and among the tangerines were Zoro swords, maybe she had been right, everything had occurred due to an act of Love but did Zoro and Nami know that though.
Chopper was looking Nami over, he told the two that the wound was not deep and there was not much blood loss but she would be a sleep for a while. Zoro had nodded and took the seat next to Nami, he never wanted to leave her side, the swordsman knew Luffy wanted to talk so he looked back to his captain, the little doctor left the room to get some supplies he needed from the stock room.
"How did you..."Luffy didnt really know how to ask it.
"Just seeing Nami protecting me, it some how brought my voice back, I was able to speak normally"Zoro replied.
"So you knew what was going on around you?"Luffy asked.
"Yeah, it was like nothing changed expected me, all I could do was act like this animal. My instincts changed but I was still the same guy, I remembered everything, Im sorry I beat you and the others up, it was a bit of a shock at first"
"Its alright but its glad to have you back"Luffy said with grin.
"Its good to be back"Zoro replied.
Soon Luffy left and Chopper came back to work on the wound, the swordsman didnt keep his eyes off Nami as she lay there peacefully. The little reindeer had finished his work on Nami and now was checking Zoro but the swordsman gaze did not leave Nami so after he finished Zoro, Chopper left the two alone and would make sure that no one else bothered them.
Letting out a sigh as the door close, Zoro stood up and moved over to the window then he looked out to see that Franky had moved the ship away from the island and he was glad, turning back. He leaned on the wall as he stared at Nami, she loved him to and she had finally found the courage to tell him but only when she thought he wouldnt remember and it hurt him a little.
However he would prove to her, she meant the world to him.
Then he had an idea so Zoro left the room, the others had entered the kitchen to eat while Chopper took this time to check the others as well. Robin asked if Nami would be ok and he replied that she should be up tomorrow morning which made everyone smile. Franky stood up and told them he was going to check on Zoro, Robin gave him a smile as she kissed his cheek which surprised everyone in the room.
"Oh yeah, me and Franky are together"
Franky could hear the cry's of the cook which made him smile as he headed to the medical bay but suddenly something ran pass him before it stopped, the cyborg smiled at Zoro and noticed the flowers in his hand.
"For Nami?"he asked.
"Yeah, hearing what she told me during the time I was a beast, I think its time I returned the feelings she always wanted"Zoro replied.
"Good"
The two walked down to the medical bay and when Franky entered the room, he was surprised by the amount of flowers in the room, Zoro went a little over board but he would of done it if it was Robin. The swordsman then asked how he and Robin were as he placed the flowers done so Franky told Zoro about what had happened two days ago and what occured five minutes ago.
"Im glad"he said.
"Its all because of you bro, if you werent there to encourage me then I wouldnt of gone through with it"Franky replied.
"Its ok, we finally able to sort things out"Zoro answered as they both left.
The next morning, Nami rubbed her eyes gently as she sat up, she heard the good morning from Chopper so she opened her eyes and was surprised by the flowers so she turned to the reindeer and asked were they all for her.
"Yeah Zoro brought them in"he replied with a smile.
Not seeing Zoro, she got up and ran to the door, the navigator had to make sure he was ok so she ignored the calls of Chopper and moved to the deck were she saw Zoro was sitting next to Franky, happy with that he looked fine. She ran over and tackled him into a hug causing the others to stop what they were doing and watch, she pulled away with a smile.
"Zoro"she said.
"That hurt you know"Zoro replied as he rubbed his neck.
Her eyes flew open as she realized that he had spoken a whole sentence so she looked at his eyes and no longer did animal slits look back at her but normal dark eyes, Zoro had returned to them, not the animal one but the real one. Nami stood up feeling a bit embarrassed that she had done that so she stepped back and told him that she was glad that he was back before she took off back to the medical bay passing a confused Chopper.
She was happy that he was back but now that meant that things would go back to normal, he wouldnt bring her flowers or follow her aroudn, Nami would miss that side of Zoro forgetting what Robin had told her. A few tears escaped her eyes and she entered the door, she got back into bed and pulled the covers up over her head as she cried a little.
Zoro had seen the way her face had changed so he stood up ignoring the calls of Franky, he headed to the medical bay, taking this moment as the time to confess.
The cyborg was about to follow but Robin placed a hand on his shoulder, he looked at her but she shook her head and told them all that Nami and Zoro had to confess there love for one another alone, this caused Sanji to run to the door as he didnt want his beloved Nami to be taken away however Brook ad Usopp tackled him to the floor.
"They must"Usopp said grinning as he held down a leg.
"Yohoooo"Brook said.
Luffy soon joined them as they kept Sanji and the four boys now including Chopper, made it a game to keep Sanji down so Robin and Franky stood by the door just in case the cook had manage to escape the others but with Luffy thinking of it as a game then there was no chance for Sanji.
Zoro opened the door quietly and saw the lump under the covers, he smile softly as he walked over and sat on the bed, he heard her gasp so he took this time to tell her. The swordsman explained to her that during the time he had become an animal, he enjoyed his time with her and he had never meant to uspet her that day for he loved her as well.
"I just couldnt gather my words, the girl I love confessed to me, I felt so happy but then you ran off however then hearing you tell me the other day"
"You understood"She asked as she took the covers off.
"Yeah, I was still me but couldnt talk"He replied.
Nami was happy listening to him then realized he had seen her naked which made her blush and this caused him to laugh but then he brought her into his arms, telling her that he would cherish her forever, smiling she placed a hand on his cheek and brought her lips to his. Oh how he waited for this moment forever since they had set sail together, really happy, he picked her up which caused her to squeal in delight.
He opened the door and walked through the hallway, she asked him what was he doing and the swordsman replied that he was going to tell the world, going through the next door. Their eyebrows raised as they saw what was happening on the deck, Sanji was trying to kick Luffy but the cook got elbowed by Brook, both the navigator and swordsman heard a laugh from their right.
So they both turned to see Franky and Robin.
"What is going on?"Nami asked.
"Wanted to make sure no one interrupted you and Zoro"Franky replied with a grin.
"So..."Robin started.
Zoro turned his head to look at Nami but closed his eyes as he felt her lips upon his, Robin smiled as Franky raised his fist into the air while the others cheered except fro Sanji who cried. Pulling back Nami grinned as she pointed to the tangerine grove which he nodded and carried her there, she had quite a bit of work to do but she had Zoro to help.
"I want to thank you for saving me"Nami said.
"I should be thanking you for taking the hit but dont ever do that again"Zoro replied as they passed the tangerine trees.
She nodded and kissed his cheek, Nami was glad to have someone like Zoro always protecting her but now she had to protect him as he meant the whole to her and she meant everything to him.
