Day One out of Nine.
It'll be eight more days until they reached Featheran Harbor, to push the Griffon Kingdom to the corner. Many strong enemies will be there. That's to be expected in one of their most important barracks. Zoro did what he always did. Prepare.
In the watchtower of the Sunny, Zoro was lifting massive weights. The inhuman amount he was carrying would question if he was even human to begin with. Out from the side, Rainbow takes a peek on what he's doing.
"Hey there!" Rainbow said loudly.
"Don't play around here Rainbow." Zoro told her.
"I'm not playing around!" Rainbow claimed. "I just wanted to see what you're doing."
"I'm training." He said bluntly.
"How can you carry all that?" She questions as she taps the weights. "Looks heavy."
Zoro nods as he continues to work out. Watching him lift them up and down gave Rainbow and idea. She quickly left, making Zoro sigh in relief.
"Now I can focus."
He lifts them up and down like he did before. However, soon the noise of clanging weights now had another noise to it.
"Whoop." was the noise when it went up.
"Oooo." was the noise when it went down.
"Whoop"
"Oooo"
"Whoop"
"Oooo"
"Whoop"
"Oooo"
"What the hell!?" Zoro cursed as he sees Pinkie on one of the weights and Rainbow on the other.
"Hi Zoro!" Pinkie greeted.
"What are you two doing here?" He questioned.
"Just helping you work out buddy!" She claimed with a pat on his shoulder.
"I just told you two not to play around here." He sighed.
"We're not playing around!" Rainbow claimed once more.
"Really? I thought we were." Pinkie responded to that.
"Well, whatever." Zoro said. "Your extra weight just makes training better."
Rainbow blushed and narrowed her eyes in annoyance. She stood up and said, "Extra weight!? Are you saying I'm fat!?"
"What?" Zoro responded.
"I'm the fastest pegasus around! I'm not extra weight! If anything, I'm a cloud compared to Pinkie!" She stated before flying out of the room. The weight tips over to Pinkie's side, and Zoro fell over.
"Wah! Damn pegasus!" He shouted before he crashed into his other training equipment. With the mess in the room, he got up and huffed before Pinkie laughed.
"Let's do that again!"
Zoro merely gave her a deathly gaze, making Pinkie sweat and slowly back away.
"O-Or... I could leave you alone too..."
On the grassy lawn of the Thousand Sunny, Zoro squats down as he holds weights over his shoulders. Once he was in the right position, he commenced with training. He hops over to the next spot as the heavy things clang from each small jump. As he worked out, the noise of the clattering metal is heard by Applejack who just so happens to be near the garden.
"What's that boy doing now?" She wondered. "Whoa! Is he actually carrying all that?"
Rainbow flew down beside her and said, "Yeah, he was lifting them in the watchtower too. The guy has a serious exercising problem. He seriously needs to learn how to relax."
"Don't encourage him." Usopp said, joining in the conversation. "Other than this, he drinks booze and goes to sleep. He even slept when we were in trouble too!"
"Maybe Rainbow can relate to Roronoa." Applejack snickered.
"Hey! Don't par me with that moss head!" Rainbow growled.
As Zoro continued his training, he then heard something behind him. It was a light voice making noises. Every time Zoro hopped over with the weights, he heard it.
"Boing~!"
He does another jump again and hears it repeat.
"Boing~! Boing~!"
He turns and sees the yellow pegasus behind him, standing in a bunny like position. Her hind legs were so happen to almost be in the same way as Zoro's, and she had a happy expression as she followed him.
"Can I pretend to be a rabbit with you too?" Fluttershy asked.
Zoro dropped his jaw in embarrassment. The three from the garden on the upper part of the ship laughed aloud. Trying his best not to mind her, he says...
"Do what you want. I'm just trying to train here."
"Okay then!" She squeaked.
As Zoro attempted to continue without minding the pony behind him, he moves forward with another Boing followed after each jump. Zoro gritted his teeth an annoyance as the laughter grew louder. After a lap around the lawn, he sees that not only the three were laughing, but the whole crew onboard happened to watch him as well. His face grew completely red as the joyful banter was shared like the plague.
"Hahaha! Zoro! What are you doing?" Luffy asked.
"Oh, don't stop Zoro!" Sanji chuckled.
"That's so cute!" Nami said to him.
"Fluttershy seems to be enjoying herself." Twilight pointed out.
"How kind of Zoro to spend some time with Fluttershy." Rarity commended him.
"Zoro! Fluttershy! Can I play too!" Chopper asked.
Robin merely smiled as Pinkie gave a photo to her. She held her mouth, trying to keep silent as Pinkie rolled on the floor letting loose with pure enjoyment.
"That is SUPER adorable!" Franky shouted to them.
"I can't stop laughing, I feel as if my lungs are going to burst! Although, I don't have any lungs. Yohohoho!" Brook laughed.
"Now I've seen everything." Gilda chuckled.
Zoro twitched his eye from sheer anger at this moment.
It was the afternoon, and Zoro was sleeping the rest of the day away. Exhausted of his time with ponies, he hoped to not see another one for a while. But soon, he crosses paths with Applejack, who happened to be walking by.
"Aw, come on Zoro. You can't sleep on a day like this!" Applejack quoted. "Come on! There's still a lot of things we can do!"
"Can't you see I'm trying to nap here?" He growled.
"Aw, don't be like that." Applejack grinned. "You're not riled up about your rabbit dance on the lawn are you-?"
"I WAS TRAINING!"
"Sure you were."
Applejack snickered as Zoro groaned and went back to sleep. Applejack continued to nudge him in order to get him up and moving. He insisted on sleeping in. As Applejack continued to attempt to convince him, Rarity came by as well.
"Applejack, it's probably best if we leave Roronoa alone. He must be tired after excercising and playing with Fluttershy."
"I WAS NOT PLAYING WITH HER!" Zoro exclaimed.
"Ah, you're probably right." Applejack agreed. "I'll just get back to that garden over there."
"Oh? What are you doing?"
The two left and began talking about the garden. Zoro sighed as he went back to resting. As time passed, he noticed something nearby. Peeking just out of his view, he sees Rainbow lying next to him. Before Zoro could question, Rainbow stopped him.
"It's alright, I'm not gonna bother you right now." She assured him. "Just wanna take a nap, you know?"
Zoro grinned and nodded. "Yeah, I guess I do."
Rainbow slept next to him, lazily letting the day slip by. Even though there was so much to do on this crazy crew with such a diverse pirate ship, there were times when you just wanted to lie back and rest. Brooke soon played his soothing symphony as the two dozed off.
