Okay just a little warning before things begin. This is my very very first fanfiction ever and ya I'm kinda nervous but I'll try my best! I don't have the best grammar or vocabulary and maybe I'm not even using punctuation properly. My sentences or maybe the whole damn fic could be seen as mediocre, BUT I hope that it will improve with time. To put it simply I'm a horrible writer, I went to french school but I still felt like posting something up just for the fun of it. So ya just a lil warning :)

Disclaimer: I could only wish to own One Piece but nope! I don't! If I did though... the things I would do to Zoro, Law and Luffy...

Well with all that aside! I RLY hope you guys enjoy this fic! It'll start off slow but it will build!

It was morning. The rays of the early sun shone down through the window meeting a short mop of unruly moss-green hair and a frowned face. A tanned hand reached out of the blankets to scratch his scalp, while his sleepy face bore irritation.

He let out a loud and tired yawn. He then smirked. Every time when the weather was nice, he would think how ironic it was for the oh so happy Mr. Sun to be shining in the poorest and most dangerous neighbourhood in the city.

Gangs would be littered everywhere around the streets, whether it would be daytime or night time. The news chose this particular location as its favourite, because something happened every single day. Reports would be going on and on 24/7 about any and every crime. Murders, rape, robberies, you name it! Cops did try to help in the past, but it proved to be too much for them. It was called the lawless zone, because the cops later abandoned it. Only one station remained.

It's not like he had a choice where to live. He was alone and this was the only definite place he would be able find an apartment room to rent.

His apartment was very small and only had two rooms. That being the bedroom that he was currently in and the extremely small washroom. It basically consisted of four grey walls. The bedroom was the first room you would walk into from the door. The washroom was to the left wall and a small closet was on the right side.

The room was cold. The only thing he had to keep himself warm was a thin blanket. No heating and also no appliances whatsoever. No microwaves, no refrigerators, nothing. He simply couldn't afford anything but rent and his school fees.

The teen glanced at the alarm clock. It read 7:10. 'Shit' he cursed. He woke up later then he had wanted.

Glaring at the poor device, he instantly sat up and started stretching, effectively shaking off the grogginess. He then sat at the edge of his bed, crouching down to pick up one of the heavy steel weights on the brown floor and immediately started his morning workout routine.

He had to stay strong and fit because that's what's helping him survive in these streets. That, and his amazing swordsman skills. He was the top fighter in his kendo class after all. He even mastered his own style of fighting. His name was well recognized among everybody who lived in that neighbourhood. Nobody wanted to cross his path while he was walking. The man who they called a demon. The man who has never been beaten. The man who fought with three swords. The man named Zoro.

The bottom line was that he could easily handle himself. Zoro would always walk around with his swords with him. The reason for this being he had kendo class every day after school. Zoro would not hesitate to use his swords on anybody who tried anything funny. Don't get him wrong though. He wasn't a murderer. He always used the back of his swords to deal with anyone picking a fight. He would sometimes cut a foe, but it was never anything serious or fatal. Sure he could get away with murder in the lawless zone, but he wasn't that kind of man. No one was worth killing in his eyes.

Panting a little to catch his breath, he finished working out at 8:15, and started walking to the washroom. Turning the cold door knob and walking into the cramped space. The tile floors of the washroom was freezing to the touch, but he didn't care. He turned and stared at himself in the mirror for a bit. His reflection was giving him a never ending frown. The expression made him look angry but serious.

Not wanting to waste anymore time, he started brushing his teeth. Finishing off, he then shed off all his clothes, revealing a very muscular tan body. His arms were like a dream to bodybuilders. His legs were deliciously long and muscular. He had a marvellous six pack and not one of them were uneven. Not one once of fat could be seen. A body from the gods. More so, he had a long scar running down diagonally from the left of his chest to his right hip and two other scars around the front of his ankles could be seen. That didn't distract the beauty fo his body though. No, if anything it complimented it.

Wanting to wash off the sweat that covered his body from the earlier exercises, he turned to his shower. Only turning the knob indicating the cold water on, because he didn't have any hot water so there was no use turning the other knob. He stepped inside and didn't make a sound, didn't even flinch at the chilly water droplets that bombarded his rough skin. He kept a calm and composed demeanour. Never once had he showered in warm water, but he has grown used to it.

After washing his body thoroughly, he shut off the shower, stepped out and grabbed a towel to wipe himself off. Not bothering to cover his lower half because quite frankly what was the point?

He walked out of his washroom, and went straight to his closet. Opening it to take out a dark hoodie with a zipper front, a green v-neck shirt that would reveal the crease and top of his well earned pecs, and a black skinny jean. He bought clothing but he didn't have many. Most of his clothes were picked by his friend though, since he had no sense of fashion whatsoever. His friend would always claim that he owed her money, even though he paid for his clothes himself.

He quickly dressed up and looked at the clock. it read 8:30.'Perfect' he thought. He grabbed his backpack and a duffel bag that had his swords and kendo uniform inside, and left his apartment. School didn't start til 9:30, but it was a 30 minute walk to get to school. The possibility of him getting into fights, or even, he hated to admit it, get lost was very high along the way. That's where the 30 spare minutes he had would come in handy.

Zoro arrived at the gates of his school at around nine. There were no fights at all and by some miracle, he didn't make one wrong turn. He went straight to his locker to put away his stuff and grab what was necessary for his first period. At school, not many people knew about him and where he lived, so he wasn't as famed here. They did however still know he was the school's top kendo swordsman and the aura Zoro gave off was quite intimidating so students knew not to pick a fight with him.

Zoro got to his class and sat at his seat. There were a few students in class already but Zoro didn't really care. He just crossed his arms and rested his chin on them.

Quirking an eyebrow up, he glanced at his teacher who had a creepy smile plastered on her face. Something was happening today that's for sure. Something the teacher thought would be amusing. Zoro just shrugged it off and tilted his head on his arms to nap till class started.

He woke up to the sound of the bell and sleepily looked around the class. Nami, a Ginger haired girl looked at him with a "You owe me money look". He turned around again and saw Sanji. A guy he really disliked, even though Sanji was the only source of food he had. Sanji knew about Zoro's financial problems, and not being able to stand a person go hungry, he would always give Zoro leftover food from the reastaurant his father owned. No matter how much he disliked the Marimo freak. That didn't stop Zoro from insulting his curly eyebrow or his idiocy towards women though.

The blond man merely gave him a "You owe Nami-swan money look.". Zoro just responded by flipping him off.

"Fuck off." said Zoro.

"Why you moss headed-"

"Sanji quiet down" said the teacher cutting him off

Hearts popping out of his eyes, Sanji yelled "Yes Robin-chwan!"

Zoro rolled his eyes. Robin merely smiled.

Robin looked at the class.

"Great everyone is here," pausing to smile, "Today is a very special day. We have a new student"

Everyone looked up and started paying attention after that. Zoro only quirked up an eyebrow.

"You can come in"

A raven haired kid with a simple red T-shirt and blue denim jean shorts walked into class with an impossibly huge smile. A straw hat with a red band around it, hung at the back of his neck. A scar could be seen under his left eye. It almost made his face look... cute. He was slim and slender looking. There were muscles present though, just not that big. His skin looked smooth and very soft. Zoro then snapped out of it, he didn't understand why he was examining the kid so much.

"Introduce yourself" said Robin, snapping the rest of the class out of their trance too.

The kid then opened his eyes. That's when everybody's breath was caught in their throat. The kid had the nicest chocolate brown eyes they've ever seen. 'Those eyes ...' thought Zoro quickly stopping his train of thought before saying anything he would have deemed stupid.

"Eh, but you already know who I am Robin!" the kid said, frowning.

"Yes, but you have to introduce yourself to the class" then giving him one of her smiles.

"Oh! Hi! I'm Monkey D. Luffy! Nice to meet you everyone!" the kid yelled.

'Well... He doesn't have brains' Zoro then put his head back on his arms, not realizing when he lifted it up in the first place.

Robin never letting go of her smile, "You may sit at the desk next to Zoro."

Zoro sat at the left corner of the class all the way at the back, near the windows. No one wanted to sit near him so he had an empty desk in front and to the right of him.

"Yosh!" the kid yelled excitedly. He started to walk but then realized he didn't know who this Zoro person was.

"Zoro?"

"Hmn"

Luffy heard the grunt and sat at the desk next to the green haired man.

"Hi!" Luffy not so quietly whispered to him.

Zoro didn't respond and just glared at him. Trying to intimidate him, but it wasn't working. He glared harder, trying to get the annoying kid to stop looking at him. But no use. It was really starting to get on his nerves the way the kid kept smiling at him.

Zoro was about to voice his irritation but Robin spoke first.

"Alright class, let's start. Luffy since you don't have your books yet, I want you to follow with Zoro."

"Okay!"

Zoro groaned. He was really annoyed now. Luffy attached his desk to Zoro's.

"Shishishishishi. This is gonna be fun."

Zoro gave an annoyed look and placed his book at the center for both of them, already turned to the page written on the board. Luffy leaned down on his arms and had a calmer looking smile. Zoro simply stared at him. Something reached Zoro's nose. The scent of... 'Kiwis and strawberries?' He inhaled more, 'Yes, kiwis and strawberries ... ' Zoro quickly realized what he was doing and immediately stopped. 'This kid...' Zoro didnt want to deal with his confusing thoughts and decided to ignore the kid throughout the whole class.

It was hard though. It was VERY hard. Especially when Luffy would constantly poke him to ask questions. The boy would then whine, then whine, then poke, then whine some more. Until finally the throbbing vein that was pulsating on the right of his forehead couldn't get any bigger.

"What" he hissed out, Glaring at the boy.

"I'm bored..." the boy whined out.

"What?" Zoro let out a harsher breath.

"I said I'm bored." Luffy pouted

"And what do you want me to do about that? We're in class in case you haven't noticed."

"I know, but you look cool so I wanted to talk to you. You have a very nice voice! " Luffy then smiling again.

Zoro just scowled and looked at him like he had grown a second head. 'Is this boy crazy?' The on looking students would wonder if such an attractive boy wanted an early death. Sanji and Nami both gave him a smirk.

"No we're in class" He let out under his breath.

In all honesty Zoro didn't really care if he was in class or not. He just didn't want to talk to the boy. The boy made him feel... Weird...

"Awww your no fun" whined luffy while pouting.

"Tough" Zoro smirked.

"Well it doesn't matter. You're going to be my friend!"

'Huh?' "Oi! Don't go deciding things on your own."

"Tough" Luffy said with a huge grin plastered on his face.

"Why you..." glared Zoro.

It was finally the end of the class, and Zoro couldn't wait to get out. He rose up to his seat intending to walk out the door until Robin stopped both him and Luffy.

"Zoro, I want you to guide Luffy through the school today. Show him where his classes are and around."

"Oi-oi why me?"

"Well since you're the first student here to get to know Luffy, I thought it would be best. But you have no choice in the matter now since there's no one else left in class." she then smiled.

Zoro let out a frustrated sigh. Wondering if he even had a choice to begin with. He was stuck. And with this kid for the whole day! Can anything get any worse? Well he was sure he didn't have the same classes as him right? So at least he'll have a few breaks from the seemingly over-energetic and annoying kid.

"Luffy you should give your schedule to Zoro. "

Luffy excitedly gave it to the green haired teen. And Zoro looked it over. His eyes widened and he paled at the sight. The kid had all the same classes as him! Giving the sheet of paper one of his best glares, he tried to ignite it into flames.

Robin gave an almost knowing smile. "Well then you two enjoy the rest of the day". Zoro looked her. Her smile looked mischievous. He didn't like it not one bit. He only scowled. Robin giggling.

A soft hand reached out to grab rough ones and ran out of class. Yanking Zoro so hard he almost fell, but his training helped him keep his balance.

"C'mon Zoro! Hurry!" Pure excitement running through Luffy's veins.

"Oi-Oi! Hold on!"

Luffy smiled and kept holding on and leading the way.
