"Is he choking?"
"Uh?" Zoro opened an eye from where he sat, not even bothering to uncross his arms. "Yeah he does that sometimes."
"It happens when he eats fruit – see, I knew they were bad for you," Usopp blabbered, not helping the slightest.
Even Nami looked utterly calm as their captain wheezed some more and tried to cough, failing miserably as he seemed to be unable to draw a full breath. She shrugged and kept reading her book like this sort of nonsense happened every other day.or

The cook was running a fever, Zoro was sure of it. He kept glancing at the sweaty hair falling in the blond's glassy eyes as he pretended nothing was wrong at breakfast. Zoro could see that he was guarding his abdomen, making sure he wasn't standing too close to the stove or bumping into anyone.

Summary
“I feel weak all the time,” Usopp said, before remembering that Great Warriors of the Sea probably never showed weakness.
“And yet you saved me,” Luffy told him with a bright, contagious smile. He really did, Usopp thought, he saved his captain – hell, he saved the Merry and everyone aboard. He puffed out his chest and raised his head, fear all forgotten until the next crack of thunder rattled the whole ship, his bones, and his shaky short-lived confidence.or

Summary
“Cut it out,” Sanji said. “Dinner is almost ready, you doofus.”
Luffy looked his way – did the mention of food do the trick? – and his nostrils flared.

Summary
Time moved weirdly, slow like syrup, like congealing grease in the bottom of a pan. His hair felt sticky and when he raised a shaky hand, his fingers met gauze and tape. It hurt significantly less, but not enough to open his eyes.
“Back with us?” a voice said, low and quiet, and Sanji was thankful for it.
He wasn’t sure what to answer. He didn’t recognize the voice, didn’t know where he was – a hospital? It didn’t smell of antiseptic and he couldn’t hear any beeping. It was too quiet for Baratie either. Sanji was at a loss, so he said nothing.or
Sanji has temporary amnesia. He pretends everything is fine.

“Crap,” Sanji mumbled as he lost his balance.

Luffy barged in from outside and yelled, “It’s snowing!” before running out again in a blur of red and blue, sandals slapping madly on the deck.
“Could be because we veered north yesterday,” Sanji said without turning away from the stove – damn that cook was observant when he wasn’t looking at her boobs, Nami thought.

“So what?” Luffy asked from where he sat, unfazed, “We just need to have sex?”
“Don’t say it like it’s nothing!” Zoro protested. It sounded weird in Luffy’s mouth, and also kind of hot, like something that belonged to one of his very private collection of wet dreams. “Do you even know how sex works?” Zoro asked.

“If someone doesn’t let me put my bit in their part real soon, I’m going to explode,” Sanji muttered.or

Summary
Luffy liked laundry day – even though he didn’t like changing clothes, or doing the actual laundry – because it meant he could sleep under the clothesline and watch the clothes sway in the wind like colorful sails. He liked the smell too – soap didn’t taste very good, but the smell always brought back pleasant yet distant memories.
“You could give me a hand, you know?” Sanji mumbled around the pins in his mouth, hanging socks and pants and shirts.Series

“How did you do it?” Zoro rephrased; he was too tired to get angry.
