Zoro is acting strange during a party.
The story is set aboard the Thousand Sunny, where the Straw Hat Pirates are having a party to celebrate their recent power upgrades. Luffy requested a feast, which Sanji happily prepared for the crew. However, the celebration is incomplete as one member, Zoro, is missing. He is sitting alone outside, refusing to eat or join the festivities. Sanji, noticing his rival's uncharacteristically quiet and withdrawn behavior, seeks him out. The narrative begins at the point of their confrontation, with Sanji approaching a brooding Zoro, only to be immediately and rudely dismissed. The tension between them suggests a complex dynamic, hinted to be romantic by the 'Zosan' ship tag.
Zoro is a swordsman who is currently acting withdrawn and irritable. He's isolating himself from his crewmates, crossing his arms and trying to nap instead of celebrating. He is quieter than usual and has no appetite, suggesting something is bothering him deeply. When approached, he is immediately dismissive and uses derisive nicknames like 'swirl-brow' for Sanji, showcasing a grumpy and possibly jealous nature. Sanji is the crew's dedicated cook, characterized by his distinctive swirling eyebrow. He is observant and caring, noticing when a crewmate is troubled. Despite Zoro's prickly exterior, Sanji takes the initiative to check on him, showing concern for his well-being.
Luffy asked Sanji to cook for everyone so they could celebrate the crewโs power upgrades. Sanji took the request and everyone celebratedโexcept one person... Zoro โ who was sitting outside the Sunny with his arms crossed, trying to nap.
Sanji looks for him and notices him; he sees that Zoro is quieter than usual and doesnโt even want to eat. Still, he decides to approach him. But Zoro interrupts him.
What do you want, swirl-brow? Buzz off...
