[everyone is safe where they should be and they are on their way to Candy Mountain. Luffy is content and when a strange package from Ace via the Margie woman arrived, he was alone on deck and opened it to see what it was. It looked to be weird bottles with tiny writing that said Dr. Dan's Fizzy SugarJolt and other words that were too small to read but it didn't matter so he drank one

and then fifteen more.

And now he is sitting on his special seat on the Million Merrily, seemingly still but anyone with a keen sense can see his vibrating softly. Anyone with haki can tell that contained with in him is the combined efforts of sixteen energy drinks swirling in the pit of his stomach and ready to be unleashed upon the world--

Over the journal, though, his voice is calm, almost preternaturally so. The kind of stillness you get before the storm]

I understand it now. I understand everything.

Thank you, Ace...



[ooc: action for Straw Hat Host Club Alliance or Spades. Feel free to run into him crashing around your ship, raiding your food or causing general mayhem]

Awww but why nooot? [flops on him all loose and rubbery] it'll be funn and I'm boored. Come on, Zorooo. [whine whine whine.]

[action]

[yourotherleft]

If you sit on me, the minute we hit the water you're gonna turn into an anchor and pull me in. That's not adventure, that's drowning.

[action] 1/3

[allendsmeat]

...... [face flops on Zoro's head]

[action]

[allendsmeat]

LET'S DO IT ANYWAY!

[and he locks his legs around Zoro and flings both hands forward to grab the railing]


GUM GUM NO.....

[action]

[yourotherleft]

What NO! LUFFY!

[frantically trying to lunge and grab something to keep himself on the deck. It doesn't work, all his hands close on is a rope that isn't actually tied down]

[action]

[allendsmeat]

SLINGSHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

[splish]

[action]

[yourotherleft]

[thankfully, he has enough lead time to twist his body so that when they hit the water, he doesn't lose either his swords or Luffy. Because dumbass is going to drown if he doesn't grab on]

[action]

[allendsmeat]

[well he's not hyperactive anymore and now more like a dead fish as they hit the water, completely limp as all the energy is sucked out of them. When they manage to surface he moans]

I don't like this idea. [Zoro why don't you think ahead?]

[action]

[yourotherleft]

It was your idea!

[just for the record. Zoro looks around to try to find the ship...geez, Luffy, how far out did you slingshot them? And makes sure he has a good tight grip on Luffy's vest before he starts swimming]

I swear, I ought to knot you to the railing so you can't do shit like this.

[action]

[allendsmeat]

I don't like that. That's no fun at all. Na, Zoro, let's hurry up and go back. Zoro. Come on Zoro. Na, Zoro.

[tugs at him weakly. Water drains him but he still wants to go so he can be active again. There's too much sugar in him to stay still for long]

Hurry up.

[sticks a wet finger in his ear]

[action]

[yourotherleft]

[he goes under at that, and comes back up spluttering]

DON'T DO THAT! You're gonna drown us both!

[action]

[allendsmeat]

[pouts at him. It would have been pretty funny except now he's drenched in seawater again and still in it and he wants to be back where it's warm and dry.]

Okay...

[and he just sort of flops limply, waiting for Zoro not to get lost]

[action]

[yourotherleft]

[at least he can see the ship, and swims powerfully toward it, but that doesn't stop him from occasionally veering off course and having to correct. It's hard swimming with one arm around Luffy so he doesn't sink!]

[action]

[allendsmeat]

[well since he has nothing better to do...

Sorry for that snoring in your ear]

[action]

[yourotherleft]

[oh great, that means when they get back onboard, he's going to be rested and ready to unleash more energy. Shiiiiiit...

By the time Zoro catches up to the ship and hauls them both onto the deck, he's exhausted. And soaking wet, his clothes as heavy as the swords at his side. And then there's Luffy. Tosses him on the deck and leaves him there while he strips down and wrings out his shirt and haramaki]

[action]

[allendsmeat]

[bounces once or twice before waking up and smacking his lips.]

Zoro got really lost, huh?

[action]

[yourotherleft]

No way. [yes]

Are you cooled down, now?

[action]

[allendsmeat]

Yeah...

[but even as he's lying there, trembles ripple through him as he dries off. He twitches. He can feel the breeze over his skin and other things. Everyone breathing at once. Zoro existing.]

There's so much...

[he sits up, grinning hugely and clutching at his ankles]

Ahh this feeling is great!

[action]

[yourotherleft]

[damn, that wind is chilly across wet skin. But Zoro shrugs it off and keeps his eye on Luffy just in case]

I'm going to smack your brother for sending you that stuff.

[action]

[allendsmeat]

This stuff is great! Youp! [he stretches his arm across the distance and snags another bottle] It makes me feel tingly! Shishishishi [tries to get the cap off]

[action]

[yourotherleft]

No! No more of it! It's worse than getting you drunk...

[can he make it across the deck to the rest of the crate and toss it before Luffy stops him? Let's find out!]

[action]

[allendsmeat]

NO WAY! MINE! [grabs the grate and pulls it over to him, hunching over it]

Ace gave me these drinks! They're special! [grr! Grrr! May actually be growling at you]

[action]

[yourotherleft]

[so much for that idea]

They're making you crazy, Luffy! Cut back at least, would you?

[action]

[allendsmeat]

[he doesn't understand the last part. Instead he's holding the neck of the bottle in his mouth and shaking it back and forth while he glowers. Glowers at you.

Then he hefts the box to his chest and hurries off, the bottles clinking as he looks for some place to hide them.]
