Some stories gets told: The start

Pairing: OPLA!Roronoa Zoro x reader

Summary: After the duel with Mihawk, reader can't seem to leave Zoro's side while he is fighting between staying alive and reaching for an old friend

A/N: the way I am putting so much efforts in this is crazy, literally watching scenes in loop to understand how to add things and if they actually work in the original setting of the live action. I mentioned de@th a couple of times but briefly considering how long this is getting. Created a new village on Gecko Island for the sake of this ff Miro Village does not exists in the world of one piece, if it does I'm a lucky mf lol.

Pt.1\Masterlist\\Pt.2

If three days ago people would have told her she was going to fight Kalahadore and his minions, she would have laughed at her faces; if three days ago people would have told her she was going to enjoy a trio of wanna be pirates she would have laughed it off saying that the only crew she was going to join was the same as Yasopp's; if three days ago people would have told her that she was going to face one of her greatest fears, she would have joked about it, but there she was after a fight with Kaya's butler in the company of three wanna be pirates.

The bar was filled with pirates and some Marines, or so she thought. Her blurry vision was not of help, everyone dressed in blue or white, or white and blue, was a possible enemy that was waiting for the right time to strick an attack and bring them back to headquarters.

-...sea slug.-she heard the swordsman say, confused to why he was talking about sea slug, which, by the way, she thought were very cute, she asked for some explanations. Nami only pointed at Usopp, dancing with his usual grace and talent, if that could even be called grace or talent.

-Look at him. Like he doesn't have a care in the world.- the orange haired girl stated, she wanted to replay, to say that in reality Usopp was just putting on a facade, but who was she to spill secrets that were not of her owns? No one, so she just kept quite and went back to her drink. A not well made one on her humble opinion, but at least she was able to drink and have fun.

The girl, once again that night, went back into her own thoughts forgetting she was in company but even if she wanted to have a conversation with the two in her heart she knew it wasn't a good idea. Not when drunk and knowing such state meant spilling everything that was on her mind.

-..you drink.- that was the key word that got her attention, if drinking was in the equation she wanted to be part of whatever they were doing. -You guess something about me, I drink.- he said pouring some of the rum in three little glasses.

-uuhhh I want to play.-

-Not now.-they both said in unison.

-First round is between me and the thief.- Zoro said not taking his eyes off of Nami which smirked at the boy.

If her attention was on Usopp and having her drink, now it was on her two new friends having a drinking game.

-I bet yu grew up in a big city, running schemes, hanging out in swanky bars like this one.-Zoro was the first one to try and guess under Nami advice, she gave him a second smirk. Y/N imagines the swordsman got it wrong from how the girl next to her reacted. And she was right.

-You might be thirsty.-Nami said. -I grew up in a small village. Barely a village. Just an handful of houses in the center of a tangerine grove.- Y/N started to picture how beautiful that might have been, that once again her mind alienated her from the conversation.

Y/N didn't know how long she was gone in her little world, but when she was back to reality second round was on, and this time she wanted to partecipate, but aparently the universe didn't want her to play that Usopp came back at the table with "his new best friend" or whatever.

-What did you say your name was again?-he asked sitting next to Nami.

-Which one of you is Monkey D. Luffy?-Y/N noticed Nami trying to get some informations out of the new nameless guy, asking who wanted to know such a question.

-You are Dracule Mihawk.- the name didn't ring any bell to Y/N, she had never heard that name, or at least while she was intoxicated from all the alcohol she had, the name was completely new to her ears.

-I have business with your captain. If you know what's good for you, you'll hand him over.- she noticed the man didn't like to beat around the bush, he just wanted to get to Luffy.

-We don't know anyone named Luffy. Right, guys?- Y/N looked at Nami confused.

-What do you mean we don't know him? He came here with us.- she turned to the elegant dressed man and told him that Monkey D. Luffy was somewhere around the Baratie but she didn't know exactly where.

-You are unbeliavable.-

-What? Is true he was with us and now he is not.- she defended herself, the two of them started to bicker: Nami trying to explain to her friend why she was supposed to lie, but their attention was back at Zoro when they hard him saying Mihawk, was it Mihawk?, she didn't care much, what she cared about was why for the East Blue did he say that the man was going to die the very next day.

In that moment Y/N was sober in an instant, her brain was back to function normally and so her body. She moved forward, motion followed by the girl next to her, she wanted to understand fully what was happening, maybe she heard wrong. Maybe Zoro was just playing around but even if she had known the man for less than a week she could tell he never joked, at least not about somo random guy dying.

-I, Roronoa Zoro, challenge you to a duel to the death.-

-To the what now?- she said as a reflex, it was not like she meant to say out loud but it happens and the fact that Mihawk was staring at her was not helping her nervouness to settle down. The man turned back almost immediatly letting the green haired swordsman know he never heard of him, implying how small of a fly he was in his eyes.

-They call me the Demon Pirate Hunter. But my lifelong dream it to best you in single combat and become the greatest swordsman in the world.- now that is a great dream compared to hers, that just wanted to live numerous adventures and write about them.

Y/N started to second guess if starting such a journey was even worth it, she was surrended by people with amazing dreams, even Usopp had a better dream than hers. She shook the thoughts away, now she had to more important matter to care about.

Once the challenge was accepted and the time was set Mihawk left and she was on her feet in an instant, she tried to say something but the words seemed to be stuck in her throat. She was speechless, Zoro did not just challenged someone that, for what she got from their conversation, is the most powerful and skilled swrodsman out there.

-You just have signed up your death sentence, you idiot.- she said and left to head back to the Going Merry.

Zoro was polishing his swords when Usopp came back with Luffy behind him, Y/N was silently listening to the conversation happening in the room, not really knowing how to handle the situation. Sure wasn't her friend, how could he be after a day they have known each other? But she didn't want him dead already.

Words of the conversation came and didn't so her brain didn't process half of what they had been talking about, she just knew Nami was trying her best to change Zoro's mind.

It was after Luffy and Usopp left the room that Zoro spoke directly to her that night, asking why she was still there.

-The promise.- she had heard that part, his dream was a promise made to someone; he was going to die just for a promise he made in the past. -did you made it to your friend?- he didn't answer but his body language told her everything she wanted to know. -in that case, I hope you are not going to die. Good luck.- she said walking outside ready to go and try to have some good sleep.

Waking up the next morning felt like a task, her head was pouding so much that if she had too many thoughts her head was going to explode in milion pieces for the lack of space. Trying to stand up from her hammock without falling was another task she didn't know how she managed to carry out, her legs feeling like jelly pudding but she managed to stay on her feet and following the boys outside, after wearing a pair of sunglasses.

The duel started and Y/N wanted to go back on the ship. She didn't want to see Zoro lose, she believed Zoro was a strong fighter and very much the most talented swordsman she ever knew but if his opponent had decided to use a tiny sword that looked like more like a knife, there was a high chance his friend was going to die in the worst case scenario.

The first time the weapon inflicted a scar on Zoro, Y/N gasped and hold onto Usopp to not fall butt flat on the ground for the scare it gave her.

-Why don't you retreat?- Mihawk's voice was cold, dry of any type of emotion when he spoke to him.

-I can't.-

-He can't.- a whisper, taken away from the wind in an istant, not Usopp nor Luffy behind her heard what she said and she was glad. She didn't want to explain herself, not right now.

-Or my dream will be lost forever.- and this is when things got for the worse. The swordsman took out Yoru, the sword he carries on his back and there was a fraction of seconds after the collision between the weapons where it felt like time stopped for good. Then the glenging of Zoro's swords hitting the ground broken into pieces. Y/N gasped, holding tighter on her best friend's arm.

The green haired boy sheated his good sword in place, opened his arms to form a T with his whole body. Tension grew in the air, everyone knew what was going to happen.

While the rest of the crew gave a glance towards each other she couldn't. Her eyes, even if weakened by the bright sun rays, couldn't leave the form of the boy that was about to die in a second now.

-ZORO- Luffy was the first to react, in a second the boy with the straw hat was next to his first mate, hoping to not see him dying in his hands. The conversation him and Mihawk had came in and out Y/N ears, she was focused on praying for the boy to not die.

Usopp was next, he run to his friends' side, pulling her with him in the process, she tripped loosing the grip on his best friend and falling on the ground. Nami tried to help her up, asking if she was okay but she was just able to keep silent.

It was just like when she was a kid and her father had died; it was like when she was a little girl and saw his first friend die, it was as if death was following her wherever she was going collecting people she loved one after the other. Her nails became such an important thing to stare at, she couldn't stand the sight of the pirates around Zoro, trying to speak comforting words that he was going to be okay.

He is not going to be okay, she thought, how could he? He had lost already too much blood and the more they were staying there doing nothing the more he was going to be more on the other side.

It was Nami that brought everyone back to reality and started to shout orders left and right. She asked the boys to take Zoro from the arms while she and Y/N would hold him from the legs.

Everything became a race with time, the more they wasted the more likely was for Zoro to die of blood loss. The four of them put him on the table of the kitchen; Usopp started to run around trying to find some towels or everything that could come in handy; Nami checked on the wounds; Luffy started to space out, every type of noise started to fade out and Y/N didn't know what to do, once again in her life she didn't know how to save another life.

-Someone...- the (your hair color) haired girl knew what she had to do, if no one was of any help she had to find someone that could be. She sprinted outside heading back to the resturant, they had to have a doctor or some sort of thing, didn't they? If that was not the case she was just unlucky.

Entering the resturant she clumsly tried to remember where was the kitchen, the place wasn't that big but in her mental state it was going to be hard remembering her own name.

When she found the door she rushed in, getting the chef and waiter's attention. The blond guy smirked, ready to flirt with her but noticing the worried expression on her face he just asked her if everything was fine.

-Nothing is fine.-she catched her breath for a moment. -Zoro got... He has a very pretty bad sword wound we need a doctor.- please tell me there is one on board, please please please. Her eyes were staring at the owner of the establishment and her face dropped when he said that the closest one was two days from there. Just my luck.

-I can't help you. Hope your friend makes it.-

-No, please you have to help us, please. Maybe there is a doctor on...-

-Ehy, where do you think you're going?- she wanted to punch the chef, he was totally ignoring her call of help and cared more where his waiter was going than on the live or death situation she presented him.

-To help her friend.- said Sanji

-Brunch is not gonna prep itself.- he reminded him. She was totally going to punch him if he ignored once again what was happening.

-You always told me to feed anyone who's hungry.- she heard him saying while looking around the room. -I don't see how this is any different.- he added.

The owner of the resturant sighed, realizing that he had no other choice but try and do somethig to help the dying kid.

-Fine. Bring me my kitchen knives and a bottle of our best whiskey. And a fresh yellowtail from the cooler. Bigger the better.-he ordered and started walking outside. Sanji was confused, why would Zeff need a yellowtail? -Just do it already.-

Y/N walked them to the Merry and once she pointed the direction of the kitchen, she let them go in first. She wanted to stay away from there, she didn't want her bad luck to linger over Zeff while he worked on Zoro's wounds.

It had been some time since the two chefs came to stich the swordsman up so when she saw the chef leaving the kitchen she jumped on her feet asking how her friend was doing. Zeff assured her the guy was resting but only time could have told if he was going to live or not.

She walked inside meeting eyes with Usopp, Luffy stop tending on Wado and looked at her, giving the girl a forced smile, and she did the same. She was in no shape for smiling sincerely.

-How is he doing?-her tone was almost inaudible if it wasn't for the lack of noises.

-He is resting now, we are hoping for the best.-Usopp answered, she looked in the direction of Nami's room but then changed her mind. She didn't want for her bad luck to make things worse.

Usopp noticed. He always did. He had know her for a long time now and could read her like an open book. He knew what she had to go through, she had told him, trusting in his vow to not say a thing.

-You can go and talk to him. Maybe he would like to hear from a more gentle voice.- he joked.

-I heard that.- that made her laugh a little and she made a note to herself to thank her best friend for the joke.

-But...-he started again, Y/N stopped him, it was fine. She was going to stay in her room for the time being hoping that everything was going to get better.

-What's up with her?-Asked a worried Sanji looking the girl dissapearing from his view. After she had left the cook tried to get some info out the sniper but the man brushed it off lying that he wished to know as well.

Entering her room she locked herself in, not wanting people in for now, she wished for some alone time.

She went to the little desk and turned on the snail radio searching for a station worth listening to hear. Every station she picked were talking about some piracy activity around the East Blue or the New World, some had music but nothing that was of her taste. Her patience was running short, nothing was good enough, growing impatience she took the snail and throw it away.

The object made a loud noise that had been heard downstairs for sure, but she didn't care. She really didn't. She got herself under the blanket, cold running throught her body even tho the weather was pretty warm.

It took her nothing to fall asleep, and to be surrended by her nightmares coming back to make her sleep difficult. Between the faces that she was used to see screaming at her, putting the blame on her a new was added to the crowd: Zoro's. He wasn't talking like the others, he was silently looking at her dissapointment all over his features. Y/N tried to apologize, but words couldn't come out, they were stuck making her choke on air.

-Z...-nothing, her throat felt dry, like the ground back in Syrup Village during the drought. She felt powerless as usual. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, she wanted to apologize but it was hard when the only thing you can do is breath.

Breating, the only thing she was able to do was to breath but with time she found herself having an hard time doing that as well, dropping on the ground. Tears creeped out her eyes, watering her eye line but she tried her best to fight the urge to cry her eyes out.

She woke up covered in sweat and sighed asking herself when was she going to stop having nightmares or was she going to live like that forever? If that was the case she hoped the sea was going to take her as soon as possible, before she was going to lose her mind.

After a quick shower and a change of outfit she tippy toed outside her room making sure no one was around she headed to check on Zoro. She was happy to see they were alone in that moment.

She closed the door behind her and for a moment she pondered if it was a better idea go back to her room and stay there untill her friends were back, no she decided to keep Zoro company for a while. Maybe she didn't really know what to say, but the words were going to come at some point, wouldn't they?

She moved the chair closer to the bed he was resting on, glanced for a while his hand. Was oaky for her to hold it? Was he going to even feel it? She didn't know what to do, she had found herself in that position countless of times and yet it was just like the first time.

-Zeff told me it is a good idea to talk to you but honestly I don't even know what to say.- she thought she was sounding stupid, who on the seven seas starts a conversation like that? Her for sure. -Usopp hasn't always been my best friend, I had one before I met him. She was older than me, not much older, just two years of diference.- she smiled. -I was new to Miro Village. The first two months she was really mean to me so I would avoid her most of the times, even thought she would find ways to bully me so I gave up. She did everything in her power to make me upset, she blamed everything on me to get me in trouble like that one time she stole an entire cart of fruits and told the major it was my fault. He had to call in my parents, they wanted to talk to my dad about my behaviour but little they know he was dead. He had died some weeks prior I moved there, the journey wasn't that long since I used to live nearby but no one knew, how could they? Is not like I talked about it nor anyone cared to ask why a lonely little girl walked miles to get there, they were just happy there was someone doing the jobs no one wanted. She apologized for how she treated me but to be honest with you it wasn't that important, she was the only one that paid attention to me, yes you might argue it was not the best way but when you are a kid that goes unnoticed you kinda of like it when someone talks to you, even if is just to make fun of you.- she took a deep breath, now it came the hard part. -We started to get closer and closer until one day pirates raided the village, they took her because she was trying to protect little ol' me. They killed her on the spot and I was going to follow her if it wasn't for a random citizen pumbing into the pirate. It gave me the window to run away and I found shelter in Syrup Village where I met Usopp. Sometimes I see her in my dreams, she is always mad at me because I ran away and I didn't help her, sometimes I think back at...-

Someone was on board, she could tell, checking who was she felt safe seeing her captain. Luffy walked past her ignoring her presence, not because he didn't like her, for all the seas if that was the case she couldn't even have thought on putting a single foot on his ship, the captain had to fix the problem first thing first.

-Hey, Zoro. You sure missed a big fight. Those fishman guys were though. You would have loved it.- she smiled, knowing that was 100% so true. -...great dinner. All of us sitting around together, listening to Usopp's stories. Only I kinda messed it up. And now I lost Nami.- schock was painted all over Y/N, what was he talking about? Losing Nami? How? When? Why?

-...but I know what to say now, and is so simple. I need you, Zoro. I need you to wake up.- the girl felt ashemed, she wasn't able to say those simple words, indeed went on about her childhood friend that died to protect her. She was glad that her captain got the courage to say those words.

-You gonna keep talking, or let me get some sleep? Geez, you people really like to talk uhm?- Luffy jumped on top of Zoro, Y/N was only able to stare at the two boys in front of her. He was alive, how? She was pretty sure he was done for. She thanked whoever decided to let him live.

Luffy hugged his first mate, making him groan out of pain.

-Luffy, Luffy get off you are hurting him.- the girl said and before she could help the straw hat pirate down he was already on his feet.

She was now standing next to Luffy, looking at Zoro with a small smile on her face.

-I had the strangest dream that Nami left.-

-She did.-

-What do you mean she did? Why?-

-It's my fault. She left...- he started but Zoro cut him off.

-No, you didn't do anything wrong. You acted like a captain.- Luffy couldn't understand, if he did actually act like a captain, why was the crew falling apart more and more? -No, it's not. I, Roronoa Zoro, vow to stand by your side from now until the end. Until we find the One Piece or die trying.- he kept on with his vow and Y/N could only admire the boy for that. She started thinking if she was in any position to vow eternal loyalty or if her presence on the Going Merry was just temporary, she hoped not for the latter.

-so what do you say?-

-What?-

-Do you want to be part of my crew as a loyal member?-she was taken aback, no one had ever asked for her opinion on important metters, she grew up following orders. If she was told to do something her only concern was to carry on the task, no question asked, but now? Now she was given the chance to choose: eaither stay on board and become a part of the Straw Hat pirates, or leave and starting fresh a new life somewhere else.

-If you accept me, I'll be honored to follow you and protect this crew and the one in needs.-

-Of course I accept you, why would have I asked to join in the first place? Now...- the three of them got interrupted by Usopp screaming and happy to see his friend awake.

-I wasn't worried for a second.-

-Yeah, not worried at all, in fact I was the one...-

-HE IS ALIVE.-he said raising with such force his hand and Zoro's in the process, making the wounded guy groan out of pain.

-LUFFY STOP. - she separeted the two, taking Zoro's hand in hers. -For all the seas, you are going to give him an embaracing death one of those days I am telling you.- she was still holding his hand when the green haired swordsman cleared his throat to get her attention. -Sorry.-

-So, now what we do? Plot a curse to the Grand Line?-

-No, not yet.- was his answer.

-But I thought we were going after the One Piece?-

-We are, but we can't do it without our whole crew.- she smiled, knowing exactly where he was going with that. First mission before heading to the Grand Line: getting Nami back.

-Great, now you two start getting everything ready. I am going to change his bandage.-

-I can do...-the captain started.

-I am not leaving the first mate under your care. You keep treating him like a doll. Now please let get ready to leave.

-I can do it myself.- he groaned trying his best to stand up, but failed.

-dude, you can't even seat without help. Now shut up and let me help you.- he let a small "fine" not sure about the whole situation but it was either that or groaning every two seconds. And as much as his ego screamed at him that it wasn't to be that bad, he gave up and thought that maybe he really needed a little bit of help.

recent work (tbd):

[box4brains]

Aargh!!! I’m being overrun by fic ideas…

Have a short bit featuring some of my favorite nerds; (takes place in north blue when Law is 14, Bepo, Shachi and Penguin are around 10, 15 and 16)

WARNING ⚠️ contains underage drinking, foul language and “boys being boys”

Don’t try this at home kids!

Law was definitely blaming it on the alcohol. Never mind the fact that he hadn’t been tipsy when Shachi and Penguin had bullied him into playing Truth or Dare, that was beside the point.

In a twisted way, maybe he was responsible, but seriously, how the hell was he to foresee that explaining to Shach and Peng that the old bottle with what looked like a couple of chili peppers in it, -that’s not marinating in oil, that was definitely alcohol-, was going to end up like this??

Maybe he should have been wiser, he’d been living with those two idiots for almost a year now after all…

And, alright, Law had never played Truth or Dare - never even heard of it - and that definitely was a driving factor for Shachis and Penguins insistence on playing the damn game once they found out.

Turns out the rules for the game was pretty intuitive. Law had no idea why anyone would want to participate in something that was all about putting yourself in a disadvantage to the people around you, but then again, he often had problems wrapping his mind around a lot of things people did in the name of “fun”.

“Alright,” Penguin said cheerfully as he put down 4 shot-glasses on the floor between them. “So if anyone chickens out, they have to drown one shot of the alcohol! It’s penalty for being a little bitch.”

Law zeroed in on the forth glass.

“Remove it.”

“What?” Shachi asked confused.

“Fucking remove one of those glasses, Bepo ain’t having any alcohol.” Law scowled.

“Bepo can play if he wants to, but he’s not drinking any shots. Fuck you.” Law interrupts Shachi and Penguin as they start to argue. “Bepo doesn’t need it anyway, he’s not going to take the penalty. He’s not drinking and that’s final. Doctors fucking orders.”

Bepo looked at Law with tears in his eyes at Laws insistence that he wasn’t a little bitch to such an degree he didn’t even need a penalty.

Law staunchly ignored Bepos sparkling eyes as if his life depended on it.

Penguin grumbled softly but removed one of the glasses as Shachi opened the bottle only to immediately turn his head away and sneeze before filling the glasses.

“So…” Law said in the tone of voice of a man whose starting to question every life-decision ever made leading up to this moment.

“Let the game begin!” Shachi and Penguin cheered.

Silence.

Law could feel his temper rise.

“Just HOW do we pick who does what?”

“Oh! Uh…”

Shachi and Penguin looked at each other.

“Wait, I know!” Penguin crowed as he dug through his pocket and pulled out his beat up old deck of cards. “We play One-Shot about it!”

One-Shot was a game Shachi and Penguin played a lot. Usually to determine who does what chores. It was a simple game that proclaimed that everyone takes a card and highest card wins all. It’s basically a game to determine pecking order. In this instance it’s basically the winner picks the truth or dare, the loser becomes the victim.

Law sigh’s but agrees only to immediately regret everything when he was faced with a 2 of hearts. Just to further drive home the point that the world hates him, of course he loses, and to Shachi of all people. Law glares at the older boy, silently daring him to do his worst. He doesn’t say that out loud though, he’s not stupid, and the grin on Shachis face is far too shark like for Law’s liking.

“Sooo, Truth or Dare?”

Law just knows that Shachi has something dumb and embarrassing planned for Dare (probably something like telling him to strip naked and then take a handstand and then go around the room or something equally stupid and mortifying, because Shachi’s a bastard like that) and immediately goes for Truth without even thinking it through.

Shachi grins like he just won something.

“All right! Tell us the truth about your past!”

“Yeah!” Penguin says. “You know all kinda shit about us! What were you doing before showing up here on Swallow Island randomly one day?”

Law… stops. Freezes. All and any expression is wiped from his face and his eyes go blank.

Law’s no longer in Wolf’s cabin with Bepo, Shachi and Penguin. All he sees is; Flevance, burning, his parents, dead on the floor, Doflamingo, laughing, Cora-san, dying in the snow…

Law somehow managed to snap out of it with sheer force of will. He’s not sure if he was breathing for a moment there, his lungs burn and he feels like the room is spinning. Shachi and Penguin have a look of two people who realized they Fucked Up, but before anyone can say anything, Law reaches out and drowns his drink. And then, as if to trying to assert his dominance or trying to prove that he’s not a little bitch, he takes Shachi’s and Penguin’s shots too and downs them, looking them in the eyes the whole time.

The effect was somewhat diminished by the fact that the drink was so foul it made Law’s eyes water and nose run, not to mention the coughing and gagging that followed every shot. Shachi and Penguin still looked like they were about to piss themselves though.

Law reached out and grabbed a fistful of their shirts before yanking the terrified teens closer.

“Listen up numb nuts,” Law growled in a voice that was 60% alcohol and 100% murder. “I’ll play this damn game with you, but be clear about one fucking thing. You ever ask me about my fucking history again, and I’ll hunt down whatever miserable cunt you came out of and shove you back into it. Piece. By. Piece. And you rest assured I have the damn power to do it too.”

Shachi and Penguin could only nod violently out of sheer terror.

The game continues but the three other boys are kinda tiptoeing around Law, Law doesn’t care, he’s made damn sure to make it so the other teens knows to back the fuck off, and he knows Bepo knows better than to try shit like that, not that he’d ever would.

They play a couple of rounds, Law wins a couple of times and though he’s nice to Bepo, he’s making damn sure to make the demand so outrageous that Shachi and Penguin have more or less no option but to take the damn penalty shot. It’s not like he actually wants to make them kiss each other or want to know what exactly Penguin was fantasizing about when jerking off the other day, but he knows that they’re going to drink rather than not and Law’s hell bent on making them hungover af.

A couple of hours in and Shachi has had five shots to Penguins four, they’re both kinda drunk, Law is too, but not really as bad, since he’s been sneakily removing a lot of the alcohol from his body. His drunken state leaves a lot to be desired for his effectiveness, but if he could remove a deadly toxin from his body while delirious with fever and days away from deaths door, he figures some alcohol should be child’s play.

There’s a whole bunch of silly questions and most dares stop after Penguin was dared to “jump like a frog backwards around the room” and almost ended up cracking his head open, after which Law made a new rule that no dares allowed that could result in bodily injury. Which really took most of the fun out of it, really.

They still had some spectacular moments of fun and silliness, like when Bepo was dared to try and roll into a perfect ball, which had left Law looking at him with wide eyes and marveling about the “giant white mossball”. Or when Bepo won over Law and shyly dared him to scratch his ears, which he did and kept doing for so long the game almost ended.

The next time Shachi wins over Law, Law just stares the other boy down as he once again picks “Truth”, as if saying go ahead, I fucking dare you.

Shachi just meekly asks what Laws favorite color was, and Law keeps quiet and just keeps staring for a bit, just to watch him squirm, before answering with“Yellow”. Which took the other boys by surprise before quickly divulging their own favorite colors at Laws angry glare.

(Pristine white for Shachi, mahogany brown for Penguin and gray-blue for Bepo)

Law slowly relaxes and stops holding on to his grudge against Shachi and Penguin. Partly because he is starting to have fun, and partly because he lost track of how much he made them drink. After all, he wanted them hungover and miserable, not dead to alcohol poisoning.

And by the time Penguin dares Bepo to “stick out your tongue and say ’Blep-po’!”, Law has forgotten all about how mad he was.

Law takes some comfort in knowing that he wasn’t the only one who had no idea what the older teens were talking about as they start a longwinded explanation about “the Art of Blep-ping” (Which in Laws expert opinion sounds like bs) to Bepo.

First off this absolutely cursed AU was inspired by Lemonomelette and a post they made -X Secondly I imagine it all being about bots and cons trying to one up each others factions and not actually helping in any serious way because their too busy with their own faction bs.

Think of two rival car dealerships across the street one upping each other to get business and instead of business with cars its interstellar robot fairys trying to woo sm children to let them grant their inconsequential wishes (which may or may not be worth it) instead of the other guy next door.

"Oi! Are you Shimotsuki?" Turning to his left, he squinted a bit against the sun and leaned over the railing to see a young man around his own age, dark hair mussed and a huge duffel bag slung over his shoulder. His face was open and friendly and his bright eyes stared up at Zoro expectantly. "No, uh… she's in the shop," he offered, gesturing vaguely downwards towards the door. Then, his brain catching up, he continued, "are you… Garp's… new tenant?" Apparently the boy found the question amusing, because his face split into a huge grin and he broke into a peal of laughter. "Haha, yeah, I guess that's me!" he stated, still smiling up at Zoro. For some reason, it made Zoro want to smile back.

creation, and joy, and god, maybe

Somewhere in the haze of waking up after Onigashima, Zoro became aware of Momo rambling enthusiastically about Joyboy this and Nika that, and how Luffy was a god now. It was only afterward that he realized it should have been strange that his first thought was well no shit, it's Luffy, and not anything else… but it wasn't. Because this was Luffy, and Luffy stretched himself into you and wrapped his ridiculous rubber limbs around your heart and squeezed and squeezed and it was an entirely different kind of pressure than anything Enma could ever put him through, but Zoro had known for more than two years that the day that pressure released would probably be the day he'd actually be willing to die.

Nap time

Pairing: Roronoa Zoro x fem!reader

Summary: it doesn’t seem but Zoro is very, very much considerate

Masterlist

Having a low social battery was not something meant for a pirate, but here you were, on a ship living adventures left and right.

Taking naps around the Thousand Sunny was always a quest itself: the girl’s dorm, even tho it was the best option in reality was the worst. Luffy will barge in full force and you would fall from your hammock; Nami’s studio was very not a nice option. Yes, the woman was silent all the times but Sanji was too loud for you, waking up and making you grumpy for the rest of the day; Chopper’s infirmary? To avoid after a huge battle; the deck? Too much chaos; the garden? Unless you wanted to burn under the sun, go ahead, if not, avoid.

The only place that was a safe place was the crow nest. That part of the ship was avoided from everyone thanks to being Zoro’s place to train and nap. Sanji wouldn’t come unless to inform food was ready; Luffy and Usopp had better stuff to do downstairs, you thought they even forgot about it sometimes; Brook and Franky would be too busy with their things; Jimbe, Nami and Robin knew better to not bother you.

After a hot shower, you were ready to go and relax to your new spot. Your body was aching to lay down and sleep, your muscles so relaxed that you didn’t know how you managed to get on top without falling.

Entering the small room you were happy it wasn’t a complete mess, but again it never was when you wanted to go there. This was something that always puzzled you. Knowing Zoro this was out of his character.

You shrugged it off, too tired to think too much about it.

Checking around you found a pile of towels on the desk and you were so glad about it. Taking one, you covered the pillow and after some seconds you were gone into dreamland.

Zoro knew your current position. He had been searching for you around the Thousand Sunny to ask you something, a stupid question to be honest.

“Ohi moss head, have you asked YN what she would like for dinner?” The swordsman only shook his head no, getting a death glare from the blonde pirate. “You forgot didn’t you? Ah I always have to do things myself” before the cook could leave the kitchen Zoro stopped him by gripping the collar of his white shirt.

“I didn’t forget. She is sleeping in the crow nest” he said with his stoic voice. “And honestly, don’t you know what she likes?” The tone was more teasing this time, exposing a sensitive nerve.

Zoro spent the rest of the day training and avoiding people to bother you: he would help out Nami with folding clothes; helping Chopper reorganize his set of new medicines; threaten Usopp and Luffy every time they tried to climb to the crow nest, all this untill he thought you had rested enough to survive dinner.

He climbed up easily, used to do it on a daily basis. Opening the door he tried to be as gently as possible, to not give you a scare. Even his steps are light, something he never imagined was possible for him, but yet, here he was. Walking on eggshells to not scare you.

“Y/N” it was a whisper even if he didn’t mean to, it just came out like that. “Are you still asleep?” You shifted position, still sleeping, he took it as a yes and was going to leave when he noticed you were going to fell anytime soon.

He didn’t know what to do, he didn’t want to wake you up, but he didn’t want you to fall either. He tried is best to move you closer to the wall, but he kinda failed.

“Is dinner ready?” You asked, half asleep. Zoro thought the world stoped for a second, he hated to feel this way when it was about you. He hated how much he cared for you. He hated… “I hope Sanji remembered to not put veggies in my plate” you said standing up.

The swordsman was just able to keep silent, what was he supposed to say? Was he supposed to tell you he remembered the cook what you liked or didn’t like? The man couldn’t say a word no matter how much he tried to.

“Have you recharged or I have to stop…”

“Is okay, don’t scare Luffy away.” You stoped him and left the room before he could ask you if you were sure. “Let’s go.” You added.

Zoro came back to reality after a while, he was not catching feelings, was he? He cares for you as much as he did for the others. Okay maybe he cared a little bit more il for you but just a tiny bit. Just a bit more, maybe. He shook away the thought, following you down on deck. He was totally making sure Luffy wouldn’t bother you too much, that was a fact.

Warnings: Angst

Part 1 / Part 2

Walking down the street you sighed, you shoulders hurt from the bags full of groceries you had to carry. Your back also hurt pretty bad from cleaning the bathroom this morning. It was hard being alone. You got closer to your small house, which was located up at a little hill. Walking through the door kicking off your shoes you rushed to the kitchen. You planned to make some kimchi fried rice and lobster. You were cutting vegetables when you started to drift through your thoughts. How your life was before, you felt a warm in your chest thinking about this time of your life. How happy you were in his embrace. And..how you left him.

You stopped your movements and laid the knife down, you cut yourself. <Shit> you mumbled. You sat down on a chair. Who were you even trying to convince? This is trash! All of this! The island, the people, your job, this house! Everything! You wanted to scream. This wasn’t what you wanted. Your eyes went down to your cut finger, the red liquid coming out of your finger instantly reminded you of a certain someone..you closed your eyes, replaying this fatefull day in your head.

<Wait! Honey what do you mean?? Did I do something wrong? Or someone else? Do I need to kick someones ass??> You shook your head, looking down at your fingers. <Shanks listen. I..> you took a deep breath <I don’t feel the way I did some years ago you know? I never intended to be pirate. I went along with it because I loved you and I was young and..> your body didn’t get enough oxygen so you took another deep breath. <And I just don’t feel right being here. I always hold you guys back in everything you do!> You were scared to say ‘I don’t love you anymore.’ Or something like this you had to find a less hurtful reason for him. <Listen honey..we had this talk more than once now, everyone on board adores you! You are not holding us down. You’re- > <Shanks.> The room went silent. You looked up at him, you looked right in his eyes. <I don’t love you anymore, Shanks.> The look he gave you when you said those words, you will never forget it. You looked back down at your lap. <Listen I..I really don’t feel like sailing the sea all my life, but I know that’s what you desire. It would be better for us to go seperate ways.> It was silent again. You listened to the little noise that came from him sitting down next to you. You had closed your eyes, no tears should escape your eyes now. Not right now. Not in front of him. < So that’s how it ends, huh?> He mumbled. <You know, when I first saw you..I knew I was taking you with me. It was like a ‘love at first sight’ kind of thing.> you two sat in silence a bit longer before he spoke up again <Well if that’s what you desire..> he laid his hand on your shoulder <Do you wanna stay here? On this island or you want me to bring you somewhere specific?> You took a few deep breaths and opened your eyes again. This time you looked him right in the eyes, he looked so hurt and betrayed. Like a little puppy who’s mother just walked away and never came back. You knew he was so hurt he could scream, but he didn’t because he loved you, he still did. <I will stay here> you said quietly. You looked at the wall in front of you, a pretty old picture of you and him was also in your field of vision. <Can I ask for one last thing..Y/n> you nodded. <Can you give me one last kiss?> he asked quietly. You looked at him, it hurt you so much to leave him. But this life just wasn’t for you. You reach out to him and you two share probably the most passionate kiss ever. You put your hands on his checks and..you feel his tears falling. At this point you also start crying. Pulling back you look right into his eyes. One last time.

You opened your eyes again. Oh how much you regretted leaving him. Taers started escaping your eyes. The realisation hit you once more. He won’t come back for you, he probably got over you. You start crying like a teenage girl who got her heart broken. You put your hand on your belly. He never got to find out he was gonna be a father. He won’t know about the existence of his son, he won’t see him smile for the first time, his first words, his first steps and so much more. You cried even more. You were now all alone on this stupid island with this kid soon to be born. You felt like a terrible person for taking this away from him, you felt so alone.

"Say pal, you don't look so good. You better find something to eat before night comes!"

The past few times I tried to play as him resulted in me dying in hilarious ways, but I haven't tried playing the updated version of him yet. 😵 Too little health, and I remember his shadow servants being dumb as rocks.
