Does... Luffy Have a Crush? Can That Happen?

[In the aftermath of Film Red, the Straw Hats are sailing onwards for new adventures. For the most part, their spirits are high, but there's a notable exception. Luffy's been sitting on top of the domed crow's nest for hours, clicking at a radio transponder the entire time trying to find a station that's still broadcasting music of the 'Diva Princess'. This is very annoying for Zoro's who's been trying to do his training in the gym just below. Finally he loses his patience and climbs up to see if his captain will knock it off.]

Zoro: The hell are you doing, Luffy?

Luffy: I wanna hear more of the music... the concert got ruined and I wanna hear what she would have been singing. All that later stuff was angry and evil music, but she wanted her voice to be for songs that make the world happy. That's the singing I like, cuz it's when she's happiest.

Zoro: *sigh* After all that chaos with the music demon, I get the feeling nobody's gonna want to broadcast her music for a while. But I'm sure one of the others here has bought her songs in a record or something, we can go ask for it and you can listen to that in the bunks.

Luffy: Yeah... I guess so.

Zoro: Heh... I know you've told us from the start how much you like musicians, but this is another level. We can always just ask Brook to play something if you need a fix...

Luffy: NO! I want to hear Uta! I haven't heard her voice in a long time, and I wanna hear her sing again.

Zoro: Right, y'knew her since you were kids. Still blows my mind that you and the world's biggest idol were close like that when you were younger.

Luffy: Yeah... Shishishi!~ She got way bigger, I was sure surprised!

Zoro: Uh huh... probably because you were kids then and she's a grown woman now? I'm sure she was surprised by who you grew up into too. Tsk... maybe she had a little crush back in the day and now it's fully swooning seeing you as a man?~

*It's absolutely a joking tease, but the deer in the headlights look on Luffy's face makes him stop laughing quickly*

Luffy: That sounds like something the old lady snake talked about when I was training with Rayleigh, and Hancock would come see me... What's it mean to have a crush? I felt happier seeing Uta that I did meeting up with other friends I hadn't seen in a while, so maybe I have a crush?

Zoro: Oh my god... this can't actually be happening right now, dammit. Well, um... does it hurt that you had to say goodbye to her so soon, and you miss her a lot even though you know she's safe with her old man?

Luffy: Yeah, my chest feels tight and I wanna hear her say bye to me again, or anything else she'd wanna say.

Zoro: Oh hell I'm really gonna have to keep explaining this to him... How the hell am I supposed to describe this, I'm not the cheesy cook...

*Suddenly he envisions blue eyes giving him a playful look and hearing a gentle 'fuhuhu~', and the samurai smiles to himself*

Zoro: If you could see her again, would you want to do anything different from how the two of you hung out before?

Luffy: Yeah, probably... I don't think I could get mad if she won another eating contest like the kind we usually play. I don't know if I'd care about losing, cuz she's so happy when she wins.

Zoro: Would you give her a hug? Tell her how happy she makes you, and how much you care about her being happy?

Luffy: I would, yeah!

Zoro: And... would you want to kiss her?

Luffy: Like you do with-

Zoro: Not the point! Is it something you feel like you want to do with Uta?

Luffy: *tries to imagine being close to Uta's face and then closing the gap and feeling her lips on his. He assumes they'll taste like chicken cuz of all their eating contests, but also like strawberries~* ...I want to.

Zoro: Then that's a crush. And I think it may turn into you loving her if you're not careful~

Luffy: I love a lotta things, why would I have to be careful about it with her?

Zoro: It's a different kind of love, the love where you wanna do those exact things and probably some others. But don't worry about it right now, let's just go down to check with the rest of the crew. We still gotta find you a record of your girlfriend singing~

Luffy: *sits where he is for another minute just smiling at the sky* Shishishi... I love Uta~
