I'm Reading Your Lips (You're Speaking My Language) by some1_around

Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

Summary
Zoro has his suspicions about the Cook from the first time they fight together.
From the moment Sanji dives into the waters of Arlong Park, fights a fishman underwater, and wins- Zoro has questions.
Ideally, Zoro would stay out of the Cooks business. In fact, Zoro would prefer to stay out of the Cook’s breathing space in general. However, Zoro also takes his job as First Mate seriously. So when questions become active concerns he finds himself wading into a secret deeper than he can fathom.

Summary
The thing about Eddie, right, is that he's kinda an enormous fuckup. And it's starting to catch up to him a bit.
For real, the BEST thing to happen in those six months after he and Anne broke up was getting an alien parasite, and that was accounting for the whole 'it was eating his organs' thing.

Summary
It's the sincerity that gets to him. Nothing about Zou is what Sanji expected, and Pedro least of all. He doesn't mean to do anything about it, but Nami's full complement of hard truths is a convincing argument.
