“Oi, come on shit cook. You need to get up now. We’re almost there.... It’s just over the horizon now. No time to take a nap. Gotta get ready for all those fish those idiots are goin’ ta reel in. You’ve got so many dishes to make. Ya can’t keep the Cap’n waiting.
“Come on Dart-brow. Wake up. Che, what would Nami think, huh? You lazing around. She needs someone to bring her overly sweet drinks.
“Or Robin, she says nobody makes tea like you do. I bet she wants a pot right now, so you better open that stupid eye of yours and put the kettle on.
“... Come on, I think I just saw Luffy sneaking into the galley. You need to defend your precious cakes from that black hole of a stomach...
“Idiot, aren’t you going to stop Ussop from stealing your knives again.
“Or help Chopper with gathering medicinal plants. Kick that perverted skeleton for daring to ask to see that pretty girl’s panties?
“You just gonna let Franky pull apart your oven so he can make it ‘SUPER’?
“Come on Sanji. We need you... I... need you. You gotta wake up now, we’re so close, so close to All Blue. Surely you’ve still got energy enough.
“......
“Sanji? I can’t remember. Did I tell you?
“.... Come on, up and at ‘em.
“..... I’m not sure I can do this without you.
“....I’m not sure I want to.....
“Come on.... wake up....”
“Zoro. He’s gone. There’s nothing.... nothing I can do.” Chopper murmured, “The splinter pierced his heart. He was dead instantly.”
“NO!! HE JUST SLEEPING!!!” He roared, “He’s just tired is all. He’ll wake up soon.” He continued to hold the blood soaked chef close, swaying slightly where he sat, and murmuring to him. Telling him to wake up, no time to sleep, got to go to All Blue now.
The crew of the Thousand Sunny stood silently as they watched their first mate go insane from grief. As Roronoa Zoro, ex-Demon Pirate Hunter, would be greatest swordsman, the man who could be all but sliced in half and live, hold his dead lover and weep. Could only watch as his sanity slipped from him, his murmurs stop and his eyes go dead.
