New Marks and Complicated Feelings
Robin was stressed and Franky noticed it. So he went to her.
“Hey, how did it go with Chopper?”
“Could have been better. Learned a lot but I couldn't ask him about himself and there is a lot going on I don't know where should we start.”
“Hey, don't be so hard on yourself. These things are not something that can be solved overnight. We will spread it over time. Recovery is like a journey as our adventure. Slowly but with getting better.”
“I know. Thanks, Franky."
"Anytime for you beautiful. Now c'mon we should help them build the nest.”
So they went to the boys' room. They were building the nest in there because the girls' room was small for all of them. Zoro was moving all tools that could associate with the danger to a different room. As usual, he would leave only Wado in the room. So he took Kitetsu to the crow's nest. Usopp was trying to properly arrange the crew members' belongings that reminded them of their own home, and Chopper was helping him. Sanji and Luffy were trying to make a nest by piling up duvets and pillows in the middle, but they didn't quite get along. So while Robin joins them, Franky decides to help Usopp and Chopper. Apparently, Nami got special permission from Luffy.
After building the nest, Luffy:
“NAMI!!! WE ARE STARTING!!! COME!!!”
With Nami's arrival, Luffy took his place in the middle of the nest as usual. Robin moved to Luffy's right and Usopp to his left, as Robin and Usopp were going to make their bonds in this nest. Sanji and Zoro lay down next to Usopp, respectively. Chopper and Nami are next to Robin. Franky, on the other hand, lay on his side above Luffy because he wanted to watch everyone with his big body. Although Sanji was upset at first that his head met Frank's leg, he later agreed.
For the first few hours of Nest, they scented each other. Sanji had specifically asked Zoro like in his first nest, and Zoro did it without protest. When Luffy noticed this, he smiled casually at the two of them and told the girls. Robin already knew everything. Nami felt a little too. Still, none of them would push them too far.
When they had finally set up enough, Luffy asked Robin and Usopp.
When they both agreed, everyone straightened up on the nest. Luffy pulled the first Robin to his side. He gently rolled up the sleeve of her pajamas. He asked with his eyes one last time. When Robin let him, he lightly bit her wrist. marking is always a dazzling event. Robin seemed to fall backward because of this, but luckily Franky was behind her and caught her. Luffy kissed Robin's arm as he stabilized Mark.
“Thanks, Robin.”
“I thank you, Luffy. For giving me all off this."
They both scented each other while huggşng for a few minutes. Then, when Luffy left, he took Usopp with him. Robin also relaxed and leaned against Franky. Usopp was a little more nervous than Robin, but he wanted it so badly that he opened his own arm. So Luffy started marking directly. Unlike Robin, Usopp leaned on Luffy throughout the markings. When his mark was finished, they hugged and scented each other in the same way. As with Robin, the words were not shared between them, but they already knew.
When they were both finished, Luffy called Franky and showed him what he had done in Chopper. Franky agreed, of course. That's how Nami drew their mark on Franky. Franky said later that he would turn it into a real tattoo. He promised Chopper the same.
When all the markings were completed, they went back to sleep, eating some of the snacks Sanji had prepared. Except for one person. Zoro As he prepared to get up, Sanji grabbed him by the wrist and said:
"Where are you going?"
“To the crow's nest. Somebody needs to be on the watch. We've already left it blank."
Hearing the two of them talking from the other end, Nami went to them.
“Zoro is right Sanji-kun. Although it may seem like a quiet place, this is still the Grand Line. We should be careful, but since this is a marking nest, neither omegas nor pups can be separated. As the others are already new markers, Zoro and I take turns keeping watch. Does it suit you, Zoro?”
“Whatever. I would have kept it alone.”
“But Nami-san I can too.”
“No Sanji-kun. Nest is important, especially for omegas. So no way.”
Then, as Zoro tried to leave, Sanji stopped him again.
“Can't you stay a little bit longer? Just a little?”
“Huh? Let me go shitty cook.”
Seeing this, Nami sighed:
“Alright I will take the first watch.”
"But Nami-san-"
“Oi!-
“Nope. I don't want to hear any word from both of you. Zoro stay! And don't you dare upset one of our omegas! You got it?!”
So Nami left and Zoro lay down next to Sanji again.
“Why did you want me to stay?”
“Huh?”
“I said why-“
“I got it at the first you stupid moss head! It's just… Whatever. Just sleep”
“Huh. I am not sleeping until I get my answer!”
"And I won't tell you!"
“Just say already!”
“Nope! You are too stupid for that marimo!”
“HUH! You are the one!”
“No, you are!”
“Shishishi both of you are so funny but if you continue to bother everyone in the nest I will kick both of you out!”
“Sorry, Luffy.”
“Sorry, Luffy.”
Hearing scolding from Luffy, Zoro went back to his old position. Sanji was hugging and scenting Usopp. Zoro felt a little uncomfortable for no reason. So what is it? The two pack members were scenting each other. Wasn't it natural? Still, he couldn't help himself and hugged Sanji's waist, pulling him a little closer. The weather was pleasant for Usopp. He was hugging Luffy and this nest was for him but Sanji was taken aback at first. Still, he let Zoro do what he wanted because he was the reason that kept him here.
