Summary
Sanji scowls behind his sunglasses. He’s draped in heat, under an umbrella in a bright patterned shirt, large waffle with a dollop of melting whipped cream and a coffee-stained mug on the table in front of him. Further out on the patio, a whole group of screaming kids jump into the pool in sonorous succession.
“Relaxing is a scam.”
Zoro gives him one of those multilayered grumpy looks.
“It’s fraudulent. We’ve been defrauded.”
~~~
Zoro and Sanji go undercover at a fancy resort to take on a mysterious enemy. What could go wrong?

Summary
“You’re lucky, Zoro,” she had spat, eyes turned up towards the sky, like she was trying to hold in tears. He'd never seen Kuina cry before. He’d never seen any expression on her face other than her teeth gritted in determination or her grinning in victory. “I want to be the greatest swordsman too. But girls grow up, and their bodies become weaker than men's. I’m never going to be the greatest.”
Kuina tells him this, and Zoro can barely comprehend the words she’s saying. He thinks of the countless hours he’s spent training by the river bed, the green locks of his hair left on the floor after Koushirou helped him shear it all off, of the people he thought of as family a lifetime ago calling him by a name he despised. Zoro puts a hand to his chest, where he’d hastily wrapped bandages earlier that day, remembering how his body had begun changing and he didn’t understand why-
“You’re lucky to have been born a man, Zoro,” Kuina finishes lamely.
Zoro sees red.

Summary
Steady, Zoro thought. Steady, steady, be steady. Be still and strong and solid- release your breath. Now inhale.
Up his shins, his fingertips, the curve of his spine. The reliable bones of his shoulders, his knees. One last swallow of air, his throat bobbing.“Until next time, sir Roronoa.” Sanji whispered. Blue eyes leading Zoro into the calm of unknown. Sad eyes.
“Until next time, my prince.” And then his lips froze, and then his eyes, and then-
(the story of a cursed knight and a kind prince)

Summary
The camera shot opens with a rustle of clothes, caught by the microphones clipped to their collars, as two people settle down opposite each other into the seats pulled out for them in the middle of the set. There’s a table in between, small but just wide enough for a pile of what looks like index cards and two bottles of hard liquor, lined up in a row with the labels facing the camera and the glass glinting under lights. There’s even two shot glasses neatly placed in front of them, along with two large glasses of what seems like juice to act as chasers.
Jaunty music starts playing. Someone’s voice-over. ‘So, do you know what you’re here today for?’
Zoro blinks at the camera, unimpressed. ‘To drink, I hope.’
Sanji snorts. ‘The whole point is to have to avoid drinking, dumbass.’
Three couples play "Truth or Drink". It goes as badly, or as well, as you would expect.
