This story takes place after Zoro's and Bonney's initial meeting on Shabody Archipelago.
First Impression
Bonney couldn't believe this guy. First he tried to kill a world noble, then he started carrying a random nobody to the hospital. She was pretty pissed of at him for almost bringing an admiral to the island, then to make it worse, he was a complete idiot and acted like he didn't care as if nothing happened. Her first thoughts of him was that he is a total brain dead idiot.
She reunited with her crew and yelled "That green haired ass hole made me hungry! Lets go get some food".
"Sure captain", replied her first mate. They started walking down the street in search for another restaurant, even though they just ate a little while back.
Zoro was walking around looking for the hospital, he had no idea where it was. He asked the pink haired girl where it was but she didn't answer and he started walking away while she was yelling at him. She reminded him too much of Nami while she was scolding him but he still regretted not waiting for her to tell him where the hospital is. He hated being yelled at and told what to do and to him, that girl looked like that's all she's good for.
He kept walking around for about a half hour. He passed a lot of buildings, people, and even other pirates. He met this mysterious looking guy with long sideburns, a weird hat, and a giant bear. He passed a sadistically evil looking guy with goggles and spiked red hair. He also saw this weirdo freak with weird eyebrows. It seemed like they were all looking at him when he passed each one. He could sense that they were no ordinary people and that they could be a possible threat.
Another 15 minutes passed by but he still couldn't find what he was looking for. Wait, what was he looking for? Zoro, for a moment, forgot what he was doing but then quickly remembered, the hospital. As he was walking, he realized that the man on his shoulder was gone.
"Huh?! Where the hell did he go?". Then he realized that Zoro put the man down while he was tying his boot lace. 'Dammit' he thought and he went back to get him. He looked around for about another 15 minutes before finding the man behind a short brick wall under a tree. The guy looked dead but Zoro didn't really care. He didn't even know why he was helping him but he had nothing else to do anyways. And now that he was helping him, it would be Zoro's fault if the man died so he picked him up and started walking.
As he kept walking, he saw this short guy in a suite smoking a cigar and a bunch other guys in suits around him. Then as he kept walking, he saw the pink haired girl again. 'Oh shit not her again'. He didn't want her to yell at him again, or worse, make fun of him for not finding the hospital. 'Ill just act like I didn't see her' he said to himself and kept walking.
Bonney just finished eating almost all the food in the restaurant and she was satisfied. She still had a couple bottles of rum that she got from the restaurant and she held one in each hand and her crew had held rest. Now she was bored. She was the type of girl who needed some fun but their ship wasn't coated so they were stuck on the island for some time. Her crew wasn't that fun either and she needed something else to do other than eating the entire food supply of the local food joints.
As she took a sip from her bottle, she spotted a guy with 3 swords walking on the other side of the street going the opposite direction. The injured man was still over his shoulder and he was blocking the swordsmen's face. From the look of it, he looked like was trying to walk past her without her noticing because he was hiding his face.
"Hey you!", she yelled. She didn't know why but she was bored as hell and she wanted to do something other than walking around for no reason.
"Huh?", Zoro looked at her. 'Dammit she saw me', he thought.
"Why are you still carrying that man?! Its been more than an hour you know, he's probably dead."
"Huh… I was busy.", he knew it was the worst excuse possible.
"Busy? Busy doing what? Causing more trouble? If it wasn't for me, both of our crews would be on our way to Impel Down right now idiot!", she started yelling at him again. She couldn't believe this guy. What was he doing for an hour with an injured guy on his shoulder?
"Yea whatever. Just tell me how to get to the hospital". He had no choice but to ask for directions. He wasn't going to let this guy die.
She laughed, now she knew what his problem was, he had no idea where the hospital was but luckily for him she passed it earlier that day. Zoro felt embarrassed/irritated because he hated when people laughed at him.
"Ok, it will take you another half hour to walk there you know. I don't even know how you ended up all the way here." She laughed out loud. Zoro was kind of getting more and more pissed but he kept his cool.
"Just tell me how to get there woman!"
"Ok calm down", she said as her laughter died reduced. "Go and take a right at the intersection", she pointed to the street. "Then go down the road until you get to the bar, then take a left. Keep walking until you get to the amusement park. take a left after you pass the park and if you follow the road, you will see it."
"Okay thanks", he said, then he noticed 2 bottles of rum in her hands. "Hey let me have some rum", he wasn't even trying to be nice.
"What?!" Why would I give you my rum?! Idiot! I would have considered it if you asked nice! You really are a total idiot!" She wasn't really mad this time even though she was yelling at him. It was almost like she was accustomed to his idiocracy.
"Whatever", he just shrugged and walked away.
She watched him walk towards the street she pointed to. Now she was bored again. She took another sip of her rum and eyed Zoro as he walked towards the street. The man he was carrying looked either dead or unconscious. She watched Zoro approach the intersection and then instead of talking a right, he turned left and disappeared around the corner of a building.
"That stupid idiot! How did he turn left when I said right? Hey I'll meet you guys at the ship. Get some supplies and food. Lots of food!", she yelled at her crew and ran after Zoro. She was too bored and she couldn't let that idiot wander around around like an with an injured man on his shoulder forever. At the same time, it really wasn't her problem. She could have let him do whatever but she had nothing to do anyway.
As zoro walked on he heard someone yell. "Hey idiot! You went the wrong way!"
"Huh" , he looked back and saw the pink haired girl running after him. "What now?", he said trying to sound irritated by her presence.
"You went the wrong way!"
"No I didn't, you said turn right at the street and thats what I did".
"You turned left you idiot!", she punched his shoulder but not really hard.
Zoro was now embarrassed again. He knew he would never find the hospital and he hated to admit it. "Uh, I have something to tell you" , he was really hesitant. "Don't tell anybody". Zoro was struggling to say it.
'Why does he sound so shy and embarrassed' she thought to herself. 'Is he about to reveal his deepest secret or something?' She wondered what this 'Demon Cutter' as they called him, was so shy about. "What is it?", she asked not knowing what to expect.
"Um…. I..I'm actually kinda…. I'm kinda bad at directions and stuff. I got lost more than most people."
"What"? Thats what you wanted to tell me! "Idiot!" I knew that the second I saw you.
You looked like you had no idea where you were going when you ran into that noble, and also when you walked around with the injured guy for an hour. You're a complete idiot!".
"Whatever, now you wanna help me out or yell at me some more?"
She knew she had nothing better to do, 'I'll just take him to the hospital' she said to herself. "Okay I'll take you there. Just don't get lost or cause any trouble." She said.
"Okay lets go then".
They started walking and Zoro noticed that she still had the rum in her hands but he knew better to ask for some so instead he asked , "So what happened to your crew? Weren't they just with you?" He was trying to ease his way to the rum through small talk.
"Yea I told them I'll meet them at the ship".
"Must be hard for you to be the only girl in your crew", he said. If he was the only boy, he would probably leave his crew. Hell he wouldn't even have joined in the first place. Nami alone pisses him off greatly.
She laughed. "Its okay because I'm the captain and I'll kick their asses if they annoy me, just like how I was about to kick yours." She laughed again.
Zoro chuckled. "As if you could", he said somewhat quietly but she heard him.
"What was that?! I will kick your ass right here right now. You think I'm weak like the other girls you met don't you?" She punched him in the shoulder but this time a lot harder. Zoro definitely felt this one but he acted like it didn't hurt. She reached back to punch him again but she stopped when Zoro spoke.
"Whoa there. I never said you were weak. I don't judge people like that. Just because you're a girl, I will never assume your week.". He said reminiscing about his last fight with Kuina.
Bonney's mood lightened when she heard that. She ran across many assholes that considered her weak based on her gender and she had to teach them the hard way. She started to gain a little bit of respect for Zoro. Zoro noticed that she was in a better mood as well so he continued complimenting her hoping to win some rum
"Not many people could have stopped me from slashing someone as quick and as easy as you did." He noticed that her face lit up even more. 'If I keep it up, maybe she will let me have some rum'. "I bet you can kick the ass of everyone in my crew…..of course except for me and my captain", he smirked.
The last part got him another punch to the shoulder but she wasn't that pissed anymore. She liked how he was trying to complementer her. "What about that weird looking guy with the stupid looking bounty poster? I heard he was strong?"
Zoro laughed out loud, "Yea he is pretty strong but he would never attack an attractive girl like you. He would even let you kill him."
Bonney's face lit up even more than before. Zoro didn't realize but he just called her attractive. Her sloppy eating and bad table manners was a turn of for most guys but Zoro has not seen that side of her yet. She wanted to see if he realized that he complimented her and to see if he actually meant to call her attractive so she asked, "Wait, why won't he attack me?"
"Mainly because he's an annoying stupid cook, and also because you're too damn sexy for him. He'll probably run circle you with hearts in his eyes for a long ass time". He looked at her, and she was looking at him with a big smile. Bonney just loved when people complimented her. "Why are smiling like that, woman?"
"You think I'm sexy don't you Zoro?", she said teasingly.
"Wait wha-", he stopped mid sentence. He realized what he said earlier. 'Shit!' he thought. He was never the type to compliment woman on their looks, he only complimented them on their strength and ambition but he can't deny to himself that she was curvy and sexy. Bonney was laughing loudly now while a faint blush took over Zoro's face. He thought this would be the best time to ask for some rum. "Hey can I get some rum?" , he asked while pointing to the bottle. She drank out of both bottle but he didn't care.
"Yea sure" , she said giving him a bottle, and because of those compliments, she didn't mind sharing her rum anymore. Zoro finished the bottle of rum in a couple of minutes and asked for another. "No way! You weren't supposed to drink the whole bottle! What makes you think I'll give you another one?!"
"Whatever. I just gotta stop by a bar after the hospital."
"If you could find one", she said laughing. Zoro just ignored it and they kept walking.
Meanwhile, Nami and Robin were out shopping. They were carrying a lot of bags in both hands. At the same time, they were trying to stay hidden and not attract too much attention. Suddenly, Robin spotted a very loud mouth girl and a green haired swordsman walking together. "Nami look, thats Zoro"
