    Zenitsu found himself in a world completely different from what he was used to. The smell of the sea filled his nostrils and he could hear the sound of seagulls and the hustle and bustle of a bustling port town.

    Confused and scared, Zenitsu wandered around aimlessly until he bumped into a young man with a straw hat. The young man introduced himself as Luffy, and Zenitsu couldn't help but feel a sense of warmth radiating from him.

    Luffy invited Zenitsu to join his crew and, despite his initial apprehension, Zenitsu agreed. He found himself drawn to Luffy's straightforward nature and boundless energy.

    As they spent time together, Luffy started doing something he rarely ever did - he began sharing his food with Zenitsu. It was a small, simple gesture, but it carried a lot of weight.

    Zenitsu, however, thought nothing of it. He was grateful for the food but he didn't think it meant anything more than a gesture of kindness from a new friend.

    Luffy, on the other hand, was developing feelings for Zenitsu. He enjoyed Zenitsu's company and found his fear and anxiety endearing. He couldn't quite explain why, but he was drawn to the crybaby.

    Despite his dense nature, Luffy began showing affection towards Zenitsu in his own way. He would often stick around Zenitsu, offering him food and protecting him from any danger.

    Zenitsu was oblivious to Luffy's growing affection. He saw Luffy's actions as nothing more than friendship. But the more time they spent together, the more attached Zenitsu became.

    It took a near-death experience for Zenitsu to realize his feelings for Luffy. When a sea monster attacked their ship, Luffy risked his life to save Zenitsu.

    In that moment, Zenitsu saw Luffy in a new light. He realized that Luffy wasn't just a friend, but someone he cared for deeply. His heart fluttered every time Luffy was near him.

    Zenitsu mustered the courage to confess his feelings to Luffy. He was nervous and scared, but he knew he had to tell Luffy how he felt.

    When Zenitsu confessed, Luffy simply laughed. He told Zenitsu that he already knew about his feelings and that he felt the same way. It was a simple, pure-hearted confession that left Zenitsu speechless.
