It started when Luffy overheard Zoro and Sanji arguing—again. But this time, they weren’t fighting about food or swords.
“I’m just saying,” Sanji smirked, exhaling smoke, “a real man knows how to satisfy a woman.”
Zoro scoffed. “Tch. You talk too much. Women don’t care about that crap if you’re strong.”
Luffy, sitting nearby, blinked. “Huh? Satisfy? What’s that mean?”
Both men froze. Then, simultaneously
“NOTHING!”
Luffy frowned. Now he had to know. “But you guys were just talking about—”
“Drop it, Luffy!” Sanji snapped, face red.
“Yeah, not for your ears, Captain,” Zoro muttered.
That only made Luffy more curious. He turned to Nami, but she shut him down with a glare before he even spoke. Usopp literally ran away. Robin just smirked and went back to her book. Even Brook changed the subject.
Now he was really confused. And if Luffy didn’t understand something, he had to figure it out.
Then he spotted you.
You were leaning against the railing, minding your own business when Luffy marched up, looking uncharacteristically serious.
“Hey,” he said. “What’s ‘satisfying a woman’ mean?”
You choked on your drink. “What?!”
Luffy crossed his arms. “Zoro and Sanji were talking about it, but no one will tell me what it means.” He tilted his head. “You tell me.”
You stared at him, stunned. He was dead serious. Completely innocent, like he was asking why the sky was blue.
Your brain short-circuited. “I—Nope. Not happening.”
“Why not?” Luffy groaned, frustrated. “Why’s everyone keeping secrets today?!”
You turned away, rubbing your temples. “Go ask Sanji.”
“He won’t tell me!” Luffy huffed. “C’mon, just tell me real quick—”
“Absolutely not!”
Luffy pouted. “Man, this sucks.”
You sighed. “Luffy, just drop it.”
“…Fine.”
You thought that was the end of it—until you heard him mutter, “Guess I’ll just figure it out myself.”
And that was somehow way more terrifying.
